I don't own any of the characters or anything involving 50 shades.
*Gasp*
"Anastasia!" She cries as she walks closer to my hospital bed. "My poor little princess Anastasia!"
"Aunt Heather?" I stare at her in shock. I mean, ten years ago my mom told me that my aunt and her husband had been killed in a car accident and here she was standing in front of me very much alive.
"Oh sweetie, how are you? I missed you so much Anastasia. As soon as I heard about the accident I ran right over!" She explains as she strokes my hair.
"What.. I mean how….When.. Where…What are you doing here Aunt Heather? My mom..well..she told me that you and Uncle Jake died 10 years ago." I try to sit up but my head is spinning so I fall back down.
"I know. I got into a fight with your mother and she said she didn't want to see me anymore. I told her she was a bad mother and she backhanded me across my face. When your uncle found out he made me promise to never go back there again. I tried to reason with him but he refused to let me visit you guys. When I eventually called your mother to apologize (mainly so I could see you kids) she told me what she told you guys about us being killed. I didn't want to scare you guys so I have kept my distance all of these years. When I saw the accident on the news and your picture came up. I knew I couldn't stay away any longer. I am so sorry I left you guys with them. I had tried to gain custody before and once I started filing I began receiving threats from people (I think they were all from your parents) and your uncle made me stop. I so sorry Anastasia! Please, please forgive me!"
I just sat there trying to grasp all she was saying. My mom lied to me. Well that wasn't that hard to imagine. But, I grieved for my aunt. She was the only person I loved in my family besides my sisters. With my sisters I was always the protector but when I was with my Aunt, she protected me. When I thought she died I felt alone and scared. Now here she is, alive, begging for me to forgive her for abandoning me. I know I already forgive her. She did what was best for her family and I can't fault her for that. I know my parents and the reputation they have, even if she would have told somebody they probably would not have believed her.
"I forgive you Aunt Heather. I know why you did it. I forgive you!" I cry.
"Oh Anastasia! Thank you! I promise I won't leave you ever again! I will be in your life always!" She hugs me and I wince through the pain. "Oh, I am sorry Anastasia.. Do you mind if I sit with you for a little bit? I think we have a lot to catch up on."
I nod my head and she sits down. I don't know who is supposed to talk first so we both sit in silence for a few minutes before she decides to speak.
"So, what have you been up to for the past 10 years?" She asks.
I proceed to tell her about Christian and Amanda and the drama that went on there. I also told her about my parents and how they kicked me out and my sisters. She gasped and apologized again for leaving us with them. I finished my story talking about my daycare and my friend Jamie having a baby and then I end with the car accident.
"Oh my poor little niece!" Is all she can say when I am done.
"So what have you been doing Aunt Heather? How is Uncle Jake?" I ask trying to turn the attention to someone else.
She tells me about how she and Uncle Jake moved to the country once they started getting threats and they started their own farming business. They were very happy for a long time, however they wanted more. They wanted a family. She told me how they found out they were unable to have kids and right after that everything went downhill. The farm business went under and they had to sell almost everything they owned. They have been staying in a small apartment and working a few part-time jobs for the past year.
"Oh Aunt Heather! I am so sorry!" I tell her not knowing what else I can say.
"Ana?" Christian calls from the doorway.
"Christian! Come in! This is my Aunt Heather!" I announce.
"Your Aunt Heather that died 10 years ago?" He looks at me like I am psychotic. I explain to him everything that was just explained to me. Christian is not so quick to forgive her for leaving me with my parents when he tried so hard to save me. However, he offers to go back to the waiting room to get the girls so they can meet their aunt.
"Actually Christian, do you mind if I just join you. I think Anastasia needs to get some sleep."
"I am fine. Really." I insist but am ratted out by a traitorous yawn. They both laugh at me.
"Goodnight baby.." Christian whispers as he kisses me before turning out the lights and leaving the room.
My mind is reeling and I don't think I am even capable of falling asleep. However, when my eye lids close I am gone.
So what do you think about the new character? I don't think they would actually show somebodies picture on the news but I needed a way for them to reunite. Were you expecting this? I know a lot of you thought it was her mom..nope.. lol… Please keep reading and reviewing…thank you all so very much!
