I felt the single tear run down my face as I let her name leave my mouth.. I know she's young but hopefully she will understand. I watch as she stares at me with confusion. I move my gaze to Riley who is covering her mouth with her hands trying to hold in her pain. My heart broke seeing her like that but I needed to speak. I need to at least have time with her. I watch as Charlie rest his head in his hands looking down. I'm brought back when I feel Hope mover her hands away
"Mommy the princess baby has my name" Hope says Turing to look at Riley
"Yes she does baby" Riley says wiping her eyes
"Is that why I'm Hope? I'm Hope because of the princess "she says smiling looking at her
"Sweetie your hope-" I start to say but I'm cut of my Charlie
"You're not done with the story theirs more isn't there" Charlie says looking up
"That's not important" I say glaring at him
"You know it is friar! I'm letting you do this because Riley said the truth will be out and ALL of it needs to be said" he says looking at me
"Truth? Is the story real!?" Hope grins as she goes to him. I try to pull her closer to me but she quickly runs to him.
"I'm sure Lucas here would love to finish the story right" he says as he sit her in his lap
"Please Uncle Luke! Finish the story "Hope says as she rest her head on his chest.
My blood boils as I see them. She's my little girl having her call me that is killing me. It's breaking me
"Lucas doesn't know this part... I'll continue it." Riley says as she looks at me
"They were very very happy with the news of a new princess in the land. It's was a shock to everyone since they weren't King and queen yet but everyone accepted it. But one day everything changed.." She said as she turned away from me
"Mommy what happened" Hope says as sadness cross her eyes
"It's ok Hope" Charlie says kissing her head
"Time passed and the princess saw that the cowboy was different. He was distant, always seemed troubled. The princess thought it was just because of studies or something else. That wasn't it though the princess was very very wrong" she says taking a breath
"One day the princess was in her room happy as ever.. But then the cowboy came. She thought nothing of it but she knew something was wrong when she looked at the confusion on his face. She tried to talk to him tried to see what was the matter but the cowboy didn't say anything. After minutes of waiting he finally spoke. He relieved that he needed to leave..." Riley says looking at me anger and pain showing in her eyes
"Leave? Mommy why?" Hope says with sadness
Baby please doesn't be mad at me please...
"He wasn't ready for the new princess baby. He wasn't ready for what was to come... The princess tried and tried to make Him stay she ran after him and begged him to stay. To stay with her and the baby, to be a happy family to be together that nothing mattered more than them... But he didn't listen his left leaving the princess heartbroken" Riley says staring at me
"Riley I.." I say as I felt my heart ach
"He left the princess broken. He took the sunshine away from her as she watched him leave. She felt that a part of her soul was ripped out of her body. Months passed and she felt empty without her love. Her heart was shattered" Riley says as she cries
"Mommy its okay" Hope says as she jumps of Charlie lap as runs to hug her
I run my fingers through my hair as I look down. I left her... I left her feelings like that... I left her feeling empty I did that... What is wrong with me...
"It's is now baby.. Because the princess has many people that cared for her and made her feel happy. She also needed to be happy for the baby" she says kiss Hope's forehead
"Mommy what happened to the baby if she didn't have a daddy? Did he not lover her?" Hope says quietly
"No! No he loved her so much Hope" I say as I face her.
"He wasn't ready baby for her, but I'm sure somewhere deep down he loved her, but the princess did find happiness again" she smiles as she looks at Charlie
I glare at him as he stands and moves closer to them. He kneels in front of them as he takes Hopes hands
"A prince came into the village one day. He was a rebel and didn't care about anything that wasn't about himself. He met princess and tried to be with her but just to hurt her but one day that changed. He found her crying and seeing that broke his heart. That day his vowed to never break her heart" Charlie says as he grabs Riley's hands
I bite my lip as I turn away not being able to control the pain and rage in my face. The pain of seeing my family be so distant from me.
"The Princess made the prince want to be better so he did. He changed his ways with the help of the princess. There love was slow but tender and caring. He was madly in love that one day he gave her a ring. Like the one mommy as" he says holding Riley hand as showing the ring
"Mommy! She got married! Mommy the princess has a daddy. Isn't that great uncle Luke! "Hope yells as she giggles
I force a smile as I look at her "good..."
"But the story isn't over yet Hope because the cowboy came back" I say as I look at her
"But.. The princess and the prince are together? Mommy what happens"
Riley looks between Charlie and me then to Hope "it's still being written baby"
"It's real!" Hope squeals
"It's very real Hope. Come here" I say as I open my arms to her. She comes to me and hugs me. I hold her close as I rock us back and forth. As I try to cry quietly. Please don't hate me.
"The princess is in this room." I say as I wipe my eyes
Her face shows confusion as she looks at me her big emerald eyes look everywhere.
"Your mommy is the princess..."
"Mommy... Your princess!" Hope claps
Riley simply nods her head and smiles as her eyes water.
"I'm the prince baby" Charlie says as he turns to look at Riley and closes his eyes
"That's means I'm Princess Hope! Mommy I'm a princess! I'm a real princess!" Hope yells as she jumps up and down.
She sudden stops as she looks at all of us "Mommy but the cowboy and princess were together... Daddy I don't get it? You didn't leave" Hope says desperately going up to Charlie
"But I did..." I whisper as I break down crying
"I don't get it" hope says looking at us
"I'm the cowboy Hope..." I sob as I look her in her eyes
Her eyes widen as she turns to face Charlie. Her eyes wonder all over as she shakes her head.
Please don't hate me please don't hate me...
