I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
CHAPTER 9
(Bella)
Over the next few weeks, I had been to see dad for a prenatal exam. He was pleased with my progress and felt certain that the stress hadn't effected the baby at all. Edward and I had been talking some, but it was always about Andrew and the baby. We were trying to work out a visitation plan for him. There was no trust left in me, all I could do was hope and pray that he wouldn't hurt Andrew. The one thing I was sure of, was I didn't want Tanya around my son and hoped there was some good left in Edward that he wouldn't allow her to be around. It was hard and hurt like hell, but it needed to be done for Andrew's sake. Andrew was also talking to him just about every night of the week. He would tell him about school and random stuff that him and Alivia were up to.
Edward had promised me that Tanya would not be around Andrew and he would not know about her. I told him he had to be there at 6pm Friday night to get him and he had to have him home by 7pm Sunday night. I didn't make any threats and he actually did what I had asked.
I had gone out with my sisters Friday night and Sunday night so I didn't have to see him. My emotions were so fucked up that one minute I wanted to kill him and the next minute I would want to run to him and hug him. I knew I had to be strong, he'd hurt me and I couldn't just forgive and forget that easily.
Andrew had just come back from a weekend with his dad. On that Sunday night Andrew was very irritable and moody. We all tried to talk to him, but he either ignored us or snapped at us. When it came time to put him to bed, we found him and Alivia talking quietly in her room.
The next day wasn't much better. I took them both to school, the car ride was tense. He stared out the window, his jaw set like he dared anyone to say something to him.
After dropping them off went back home to do the laundry. Mom had something to do that day and dad was working. I was actually glad to be there alone for awhile to get some house work done. I was just finishing up loading the washer and dryer, when I heard the phone ring.
I walked to it as fast as I could, but being at 18 weeks, it wasn't to fast. "Hello," I said breathlessly.
"Could I speak to Bella Cullen?" They asked.
"This us her. May I ask who's calling? I asked.
"Um yes ma'am. This is Mrs. Stout the principle at Forks Elementary school. I'm calling to inform you that your son has instigated a fight at recess and I have him in my office."
"Alright, I'll be right there," I sighed and hung up. I quickly called dad and told him what had happened. He agreed to come home and talk to him.
Andrew was in the hallway outside the office when I got there. His head was down. "Andrew," I sighed patting his shoulder.
"What?" He asked. I didn't like his tone, but I would deal with him later. First I needed to talk to the principle.
"How can I help you?" The secretary asked.
"I'm Bella Cullen, I'm here to pick up my son Andrew."
"Ok, but first Mrs. Stout would like to see you," She said.
I walked over to Andrew. "What happened?" I asked him.
"He pissed me off, so I hit him," He murmured.
"Andrew Nicholas Cullen!" I exclaimed. "You were raised better than that!" I scolded.
"Whatever!" He muttered.
Mrs Stout came into the hall way. "Mrs. Cullen, can I speak to you alone for a minute?"
"Of course," I said following her into her office.
We sat down at her desk. "I'm concerned about Andrew and was wondering if there was anything going on in his home life?" She asked.
I hesitated for a second. "We moved back to my parents house after I found out that my husband was cheating on me. It's been fairly hard, with trying to be normal for him and take care of myself and this baby," I said rubbing my stomach.
"Are there any males around for Andrew to talk to?" She asked.
"Yes, my dad and brothers are very supportive and my dad has really been helping with him. He's at work right now, but said he would come home early to talk to him."
"Ok that's good, but if you need any further help, please don't hesitate to call me."
Andrew had been suspended for 3 days for his fight. He was quiet the whole way home. I was glad to see mom and dad were both home when I pulled up. I got out of the car and opened his door for him. "Go right up to your room right now, I will decide what your punishment is and let you know."
"Go to hell! You can't tell me what to do!" He yelled.
"Get to your room now!" I yelled back getting into his face.
"I hate you, you bitch!" He yelled shoving me away from him.
"Andrew!" I yelled.
"I'm going to live with dad!" He screamed. "You took me away from him because you are a bitch!"
I stood there staring at my son in total shock, he'd never spoken to me like that.
(Carlisle)
"Esme call Edward right now and tell him that he needs to come here immediately!" I yelled running out the door to get Andrew. I had seen him shove Bella and I was going to make it known that I had seen it.
"Andrew Nicholas Cullen! Stop it right this minute!" I demanded grabbing his shoulders. He fought me, but I held him firmly, motioning for Bella to go inside.
"Come with me right this minute!" I ordered. He followed me down the driveway with his head down.
When I got down to the edge of the driveway, I piled up two small piles of rocks. He looked at me questioningly. I got down to his level. "Andrew, I know you miss your dad and you are angry right now, but you can't take it out on people." He didn't say anything, he just glared at me. "You are never to shove your mom. She is pregnant and you could have hurt her!" I said.
"I'm sorry papa," He whispered.
"I know you are angry right now and you have every reason to be, but you can't take it out on your mom." I bent down and picked up a rock. "When you get mad, come out here and throw rocks. Yell and scream while you do it, but you can't start fights and take it out on her. Your mom loves you more that anything and she is hurting to. She's trying to be strong for you and take care of herself so she can give you a healthy brother or sister."
"Did I hurt her?" He asked, his eyes full of tears. "Is the baby ok?"
"You hurt her feels Andrew, but you didn't hurt her or the baby physically, you just can't do that to her."
Before long, he had gone through 3 piles of rocks. When there was only one left, he picked it up and burst into tears. "I hate my dad for having another girlfriend!" He screamed and crumpled to the ground in tears. .
There is was, the truth was out. I grabbed him into my arms and hugged him. "I'm so sorry Andrew, so so sorry."
"Doesn't he love us?" He cried.
"He loves you very much," I assured him.
"Dad and I went to the zoo this weekend and when we got back, there was a woman in the driveway. She came inside with us talking about how she loved dad and was glad to meet me and couldn't wait to be my new mom."
I was pissed. "What did your dad say?" I asked him.
They went out on the front porch and got into a huge fight. I was scared I'd never heard my dad yell like that, but he told her she wasn't allowed to be there and she needed to leave."
"Did she?" I asked.
Andrew nodded. "She yelled all the way out to her car and took off."
"Did your dad tell you who she was?"
"He said it was someone he works with, but he made a mistake with her and was trying to figure things out," Andrew told me. "I didn't like her! I don't want a new mom!"
"Did you tell your dad that?"
"Yah he told me she wasn't going to be my new mom. That he was trying to get her to leave him alone so him and mom could stop fighting."
I was going to have to sit down with Edward, I'm glad he made her leave and he seemed to be trying to do what was right, but there was so much hurt going on that I knew it would take a long time before either of them were ok.
AN- SO ANDREW MET TANYA! WHILE EDWARD ISN'T TOTALLY INNOCENT, TANYA IS CRAZY! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE REVIEWS, I ENJOY READING EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM!
