Thank you so much for all the reviews and alerts. I can't explain how much they mean to me. I'm glad some of you are enjoying this.
Again, if anyone would like to help me out and look this over before I update, that would be greatly appreciated.
Chapter 3
"I am Olivia! Queen of the Potty!" My little girl screamed, running out of the bathroom with a cape around her neck and a paper made crown on her head.
"Of course you are, baby." She smiled at me then took off to her room. "Are you gonna come with me to take Kayden and Miss. Bella to school?" She nodded her to say yes.
"Daddy, can I wear my crown to take them to school?" She asked. I nodded my head and told her that that was fine. She smiled, again. Getting her to smile was the best part of every day for me.
Olivia was my life.
She got on some rain boots that didn't match her outfit at all. She brought a brush to me and I brushed through her rough-looking curls.
"Ouch Daddy! Not so hard!" She screamed.
"I'm sorry baby." I said.
"It's okay, you don't know what you're doing." She said bluntly. If it had been anyone else I would have been offended.
We loaded up in the car and I dug through the center console trying to find the directions Esme had written on a napkin for me in case I hadn't remembered where I was going. I found it, then threw the car in reverse and headed to the house. Olivia's Barbie Cd blasting the entire way there.
When we got to the house Olivia unbuckled herself and jumped out of the car, running to the front door. It was opened by Kayden and he told us both to come in.
"Momma's having a bad hair day." He said. I smiled and shook my head.
"Bella?" I called out loud.
"Just…give me a sec!" She yelled from somewhere upstairs. Kayden invited us to watch power rangers with him, so we went in the living room to wait.
Five minutes later Bella came down the stairs, her hair in a messy bun. "Sorry I've made you wait it's just…I couldn't put my pants on, we slept in late and…yeah, it's just been a crazy morning."
I laughed. "Don't stress it, I needed to catch up on my power rangers."
She smiled, then yelled for Kayden to turn off the T.v. He did, then ran to grab his shoes. Olivia, not knowing what to do, came to hide behind my leg.
"Wow, she literally disappears behind you." Bella said. "She's so tiny."
"Yeah, she is."
"Hi, Miss. Olivia." Bella said, smiling at my girl. "I love your boots."
That launched Olivia into telling Bella just how she got the boots. Her mom bought them for her, and they were her favorite and she loved the big white flowers on them.
Bella smiled and ruffled her hair.
Kayden came running down the stairs, then. Only slowing down when Bella gave him a look.
Olivia, Kayden and I walked out to the car. Bella limped.
"How is your ankle?"
"Fine. Better than fine, actually. The brace is just kind of uncomfortable." She said, helping Kayden buckle in.
We got the kids buckled in and sat down in our seats. I started the car and Barbie belted through the speakers saying something about being 'connected.'
Kayden put his hands over his ears and screamed turn it off from the backseat. I smiled then reached forward to turn the music down, only to feel a big jolt of electricity run straight through me and down to my dick. I looked down to see that Bella's finger tips had connected with mine. Her fingertips.
If just the feel of her fingertips did that to me, what would her whole hand do? Bella was attractive, obviously. But did I expect this kind of reaction from her?
Hell no.
After a few seconds I realized that ours fingers were still touching and that it was kind of weird. I pulled back and she turned the music down. Kayden looked relived.
We drove in silence, except for Olivia singing a part of a song, to the school.
"Miss Bella, may I come to school?" Olivia asked her.
"Believe it or not, when we came yesterday we were going to see if you had a spot open for 'Livia." I chimed in."We, or I, just got a little distracted. I mean, with your hurt ankle...not that I was distracted by you, or wait no...that come out wrong. You're not ugly! I just...ugh. Nevermind." I was a complete asshole.
"We do have a spot, if you'd like her to start coming," Bella said simply.
"We'd like that," I said back.
So, when we arrived at the school, Bella limped in and got me the paperwork while Olivia played with some little girls. I filled it all out and handed it back to Bella, telling her Olivia would be a "half-day" student. Meaning my mom would come pick her up at 1 every afternoon. Mom got bored at home by herself and Olivia was more than happy to help her keep busy. She smiled and said thanks, and told Olivia that she couldn't wait for her to start tomorrow. We said goodbye and walked out to the car. We got in, and headed towards my families house.
"Kayden says Miss. Bella is single. What does that mean?" Olivia asked.
"It means she doesn't have a boyfriend, honey." I said. She said oh and didn't say anything more.
We got to my parents house and Olivia and I walked hand-in-hand to the front door, letting ourselves in. Dad was in the sitting room, and mom was in the kitchen, but they knew we were here the moment we walked in.
"My babies!" Mom squealed. Olivia ran to her and hugged her like her little life depended on it.
"I'm so excited to spend the day with you, Sweet Momma!" Olivia said to my mom, using the nickname Mom loved. She then ran to Dad and sat in his lap and cuddled into his chest.
Mom hugged me as I watched my daughter just lay contently with my Dad.
"She's so beautiful." Mom said. I smiled at her.
"She gets it from you, mom."
"She looks exactly like Tanya, is who she looks like. Not an ounce of you in her. Thank God," She said laughing, and walking into the kitchen.
"Haha. Very funny." I followed her.
"Speaking of Tanya..."
"What about her?"
"Have you spoken to her lately?" She asked. Already knowing the answer.
"No, mom. I haven't. She hasn't called since Easter."
"But it's September!"
"Yes, mom. I realize that."
"How someone can just ignore that beautiful baby, is beyond me." She said, shaking her head.
"I don't understand it either, mom." I said. Because I really didn't.
"I don't fight with her anymore, Mom. It is what it is. 'Livia deserves better than her. I know that. But at the same time, Tanya was never ready to be a mom. She never wanted to be ready to be a mom. It just happened." I said. Speaking nothing but the truth. I didn't think it was right, but sometimes the truth hurts.
"She needs a mom, Edward."
"Mom, please. Let's not do this right now. I've gotta go get changed for work."
"I'll pick Bella and Kayden up from school, okay?" Mom said.
"Okay, Mom. Love you," I said, kissing her cheek.
I walked to the living room and saw Dad was sleeping while Olivia was watching Bear in the Big Blue House.
"I love you, sweet angel," I said, kissing her on the cheek. "Be good for sweet momma."
"Be safe at work daddy." She said. Then cuddled back into my dad's chest.
I left for the house, then, and went to go get dressed for my third day at work.
This was going to be exciting.
So, all of the sudden about twenty people added this to their story alerts. I don't know how that happened, but thank you so much. I hope this doesn't disappoint!
My daughter calls my mom 'Sweet Momma.' I don't know why she does it, but she's been doing it since she could talk. Do your kids have any special names they call their grandparents?
Okay, review and let me know what you thought! I'm laying on the couch watching Criminal Minds and have nothing better to do then read all your wonderful reviews. :)
