Chapter Three:
Bella's POV
They were pretty shocked and angry by what I told them. But Kono looked pretty pissed.
"Why the hell would he leave you in the middle of the goddamn woods?! You could've gotten hypothermia!" Danny said appalled. I nodded, wiping some tears away.
"Well, he may not have been the greatest guy in the world, but he did leave the greatest going away present." I said, looking through the window of the room Grace and Trinity. Smiling as I saw the two laughing and spending time together as if they grew up with each other.
"Does Trinity know who her father is?" Steve asked cautiously. I shook my head.
"She doesn't. But she does question why she doesn't have a daddy. I just tell her that I haven't found the right man that could be a good dad for her. Which isn't entirely a lie." I admitted. They nodded in understanding.
"Well, I suggest that you learn how to defend yourself seeing as it would be beneficial for both you and Trinity." Kono said.
"Oh, my dad already taught me all that stuff. Fighting, shooting, first aid; he was pretty adamant about me protecting myself." I said, smiling sadly at the mention of my dad. "He even gave me full access to his gun safe in the basement. It has all my favorites; .45 caliber, bolt action Ruger rifle, Winchester lever action 30 30 rifle, a couple pocket knives, and supplies. My dad was a prepared man." I saw Danny and Steve look at me with awe and interest.
"Um, I don't mean to sound needy, but can I please look at your gun safe. I'm really interested." He practically begged, making Chin and Kono quietly laugh.
"Sure, I guess. Maybe you can bring Grace with you." I pointed out. He nodded, and then when he thought I wasn't looking, he fist pumped the air. I smiled to myself, he was so much like Tyler, those two should go bowling and have a beer. I looked at my watch. "We better get going. I have yet to tell my friends Angela and her husband Tyler about dad." Danny nodded and I followed him to his office.
"Trini, it's time to go home." I said. They both 'aw' and pout.
"Are we going to see them again?" Trinity asked.
"We will, we just have to ask." I said. I look to Danny. "Does Grace go to Kalihi Kai?" I asked. He nodded. "Cool, so does Trinity. Her teachers if Mrs. Dominic. (A/N: I just chose a random school and made up a name.)" Both Danny and Grace looked at me in surprise.
"Mrs. Dominic is a fourth grade teacher. Isn't Trinity only five?" Danny asked.
"She is. But she's also an avid reader and has been reading a lot of books on different subjects. She was smart enough to skip to fifth grade." I said proud of my little girl.
"Wow…" Was all Grace said.
"So, you'll be seeing her at school and have another friend, sweetie." I said to my daughter. "And after school, I can watch over Grace while you're here working." I waved my hand around.
"Oh no, I can't put you through that much trouble." Danny said, making Grace glare at him. I could tell she was slightly offended at the word 'trouble'.
"No, it's alright. Besides, I know you don't wanna join in a conversation about manicures and boys." I smirked. He raised an eyebrow and pointed at me and Grace as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. "How about Monday?" I asked. He stopped and nodded.
"Sounds good, what do you think, Grace?" He asked his daughter who nodded enthusiastically. Both little girls smiled and high fived.
"We better get going. Bye Danny, bye Grace." I shook Danny's hand and hugged Grace. As we walked out of his office, Trinity and Grace hugged, making Kono and I 'aww'. Trinity then hugged Kono, Chin, Danny, and Steve.
"Bye everyone." I called out. Trinity waved to them.
"Bye!" They said back. We walked out of the building and began to walk home.
"I like them. Especially Steve." Trinity said. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Why Steve?" I asked. SHe just shrugged.
"I don't know. I just like him."
"Like him?" I ask.
"Not like that mommy. I just think he's a cool person." She said.
