Bella was in shock…
''Uncle Liam? He is my father?''
She was looking at her mothers and Pearl for conformation if she understood it right….
''But he is my uncle… How is that possible?''
She turned to Callie….
''Did he do something bad to you?''
She was not about to tell her daughter that she is a product of a rape. She lifted her gaze to Pearl and Judith. She gave them a threatening gaze and looked at her daughter again.
''Baby, he gave me you and that is the most important. I love you. You are my baby girl and that is all that matters. ''
''But he…''
''No, Bella, it doesn't matter…''
''I want to talk to him…''
''Baby…''
She went to Pearl and took her cell… She dialed Liam.
''Hi Liam, it's Bella. Can you come and pick up grandma and Judith… ?They are bothering my mom.''
She hung up and returned the phone. Few minutes later he came and knocked at the door. Bella opened and had a very angry look at her face.
''Hi bug… How are you doing?''
''I was fine before grandma told me YOU are my father…''
''What?''
He looked at Callie and the rest for conformation.
''Pearl simply had to slip that up…''
''Oh, mom…''
''What? She told me I'm not her family…''
''Mom, are you five?''
''What did I do wrong?''
''You hurt Bella.''
''She has the right to know…''
''That her mother was raped?''
Callie jumped…
''Liam, that is enough!''
''You were what?''
''Nothing love… Lena, please take her out…''
''Liam, she didn't know that part, but now you made sure she knows. Amazing! Now I have to explain to her what happened and she will feel bad about it all. She will think she is something bad.''
''I'm the one to blame…''
''Liam…. It doesn't matter now. We have to deal with her now.''
He faced his mom and Judith.
''Please leave now. You have done enough.''
He looked at Callie and they went to talk to their daughter.
''Bella, can we talk?''
''I'm angry at you.''
He sat across from her on the grass and gave her a smile.
''You have your mother's pout….''
''You hurt her…''
''I did and I'm very sorry for it. I did a lot of things wrong , but you were the only right thing baby girl…''
''You hurt her… And they took me from her…''
'' I had no idea about that. I was in college when it all happened. After I left I really tried to get my life around. I was not a good person. I hurt Callie and I let my parents do harm to both of you. Callie was to sweet and innocent to be hurt like she was. She was the sweetest thing there was and I was scum.. And I can never tell you how sorry I am for all I did and let happen to her.''
Callie saw something different in Liam. He was sorry for what he did and for what his parents did.
''I love you sweetie… I know that knowing I'm your father and how you came to be is not something nice, but I just want you to know I always adored you and you were my special girl. I'm sorry you had to find out some not so nice things about my past. I'm not a saint Bella, but I'm trying to live my life right. I'm sorry for all that happened and I hope that someday you and Callie can forgive me….''
He looked at Callie whose eyes were full of tears.
''I'm sorry Callie… I really mean it…''
''Liam… Please…''
''I promise I'll keep my mother and Judith away…''
He looked at Bella who was curled at her mother's hands.
''Be safe princess…''
And with that he left. Brandon and Lena came to the back yard and found them sitting in a chair in silence. Callie was about to cry, but kept it together for Bella and Bella was confused by all that happened that day. Lena took her into the house, so Brandon and Callie can stay alone. As soon as Bella was far from them, Callie jumped into her husband's hands and started sobbing.
''It's fine… You are safe… I love you baby…''
''She knows now I was raped… I feel so humiliated, dirty….''
''No, no… You shouldn't you have the most beautiful girl and she is going to be special and amazing like you are. Bella is grate and she will find a way to put this behind her. And so will you. You got some sort of closure with Liam and the truth being out.''
''No child should know that they were conceived during the rape…''
''I agree, but she also knows she has mother who loves her in spite of being raped and hurt by the person who fathered her. ''
''You are right…''
Brandon held his wife for few more minutes and then they were interrupted by people who came to cater his and Talia's wedding. In all this mess they forgot to cancel the wedding. Steff was going crazy with all this, even some guests started coming.
''What will we do now?''
Lexy had an idea..
''Maybe we can have a wedding? We have certain couple who owes us a wedding…''
They all looked at Callie and Brandon. Bella loved the idea…
''Yes, mommy… You should do it… I want to see you in a big dress... Like princess…''
''Honey, I don't have a big dress…''
Jesus smiled…
''But Lexi has and it's here…''
''Yeeey…. Now you can have princess dress….''
She looked at Steff and Lena who nodded in approval.
''Maybe we should do it that way, so that your family can have wedding photos with you.''
Mariana and Lexy took her hand and led her to Mariana's room.
''We don't have a lot of time.''
At eight thirty garden and Callie were ready. Guests were surprised with sudden change of bride, but glad that Talia was out of the picture. Callie was beautiful in Lexi's dress. She did look like princess. Bella was very glad to see her mom in a wedding dress with long tray and veil. They helped Callie down the stairs and Jesus was waiting to give her away. Just as they were approaching the door, they ran into Jude.
''Callie, can I…''
''Give me away?''
''Yes…''
Callie looked at Jesus who kissed her cheek and smiled at them.
''It would be my honor Jude to let you walk her down the aisle.''
Callie took her brother's hand and they entered the garden. They smiled at each other and he winked at her.
''You look amazing.''
''So do you…''
Jude looked very handsome in his suit and tie. Connor was standing with the family and Callie thought about the moment when her brother would be getting married to man he loves. It might not be Connor, but Callie wouldn't mind. Brandon was captivated by his wife. She looked amazing in Lexi's dress. At that moment he felt guilty for depriving her of the real wedding. As she was approaching, he felt like this was a real wedding. There were members of their family, friends, dress , flowers, bossy Mariana, Lena crying and Steff and Mike giving them a look. Yes, this was a real wedding. They took off their rings so they could place them on each other fingers saying their vows. They were not sure if priest knew they got married in a trashy chapel by Elvis. But it didn't matter. He was marrying her again and he would do it in every way he can. He would marry her in every church, religion and way possible. She was love of his life and that was the only thing he cared about. After the ceremony ended, he kissed the bride and she smiled at him.
''I can't believe you married me again my beloved Callie Marie Jacobs - Foster….''
''I would marry you every day my beloved….''
Their next kiss was interrupted by Bella and the family.
''Mommy…. Me first…''
Brandon lifted her and she hugged them both.
''I'm so happy. This is the first wedding I ever went to…''
''And we are happy to give you that experience love.''
Their friends and family offered nice words and advices and it was time for the first dance. Mariana choose song for them and it was perfect first dance. After that they danced with Mariana, Lexi , Jesus, Jude and their moms. At the end of the evening, Callie went to Mariana's room to take off the dress and found Bella sound asleep in Mariana's bed.
''Leave her here and have nice wedding night…Again…''
''I don't want her to think I left her….''
''Callie, it will be fine. We'll call if she is not comfortable… Just have nice time….''
''If she needs me, call…''
''I promise…''
She got downstairs and B was waiting for her.
''Bella is staying… We'll get her tomorrow…''
''Oh… Let's go….''
''Have nice time…''
They winked at them and left the house.. They had another wedding night ahead of them and they were not going to waste it.
