--One--
During the flight back home, the kids complained the whole way. They kept asking where their daddy is, because all they knew was that Chuck is their daddy ever since they were born or could talk.
She just made up a story telling them that they were going on vacation and they toned down a little bit.
When they landed, she rented a car then drove back to Ipswich. The way there, the kids had fallen asleep. She was driving and thinking how she was going to approach everybody.
She decided to drive over to the Simms Manor. She didn't see Tyler's hummer, so she figured he was gone. She parked the car into the garage and carried the kids one by one into a room to sleep.
She sat in the den waiting for someone to come over. Thirty minutes later, she heard a car pull up, she got so excited.
"Stay here, I have to grab something… then we can go pick up Nicole." Tyler said to Reid and Peyton.
"Yeah whatever Baby Boy, just hurry up… we have to go pick out the place where we are getting married... If I have to be there, so do you." said Reid being impatient.
"It's not even my wedding Reid."
"So… you're still the best man, so there for… you have to be there, just like I do."
Tyler rolled his eyes and walked towards the door of the mansion. He stopped, before walking in. He had this funny feeling that he couldn't explain. But he shrugged it off and walked inside.
He had left his favorite hoodie on the couch in the den. He walked in and stopped dead in his tracks. He even blinked a few times making sure it wasn't a mirage he was seeing. Even with blonde hair he knew who it was looking right at him.
"Annabell?" he asked with his eyes ready to pop out of the sockets.
"Yeah, Ty… I am home!"
She ran up to him giving him a hug tacking him to the ground.
"We all thought you were dead… I didn't. I knew you were alive."
"I know Ty… I got back as soon as I can. I'm sorry it took seven years."
"Oh my God, it's okay… you are here now. You are here now? Right?"
"Yes… I am free and back home with my family."
Tyler got up and helped Carly up on her feet.
"Where's the twins?" he asked looking around.
"They are taking naps in one of the rooms." she grabbed his hand, pulling him upstairs. "Come on."
They both quietly walked up to the room and walked in. Tyler was amazed on how big they were and even what they looked like.
As they walked downstairs, Reid had walked in and said "Ty… lets go. We have wedding-" he stopped talking when he saw Tyler talking a some blonde. "Who's this?"
Carly wanted to cry, but she didn't think he'd recognize her with blonde hair.
"Um… it's me, Bella."
Reid looked at her funny and said "The only Bella I know, is Carly... and that's impossible because Carly is dead."
Tyler wanted to choke him, he said "Reid… She's not dead."
"Bullshit… now lets go. Nicole is waiting to do this stupid wedding crap." he said as he walked out the door.
Tyler looked at Carly with the hurt and pain in her eyes, he gave her a hug and let her cry into his chest. After a while they were sitting on the stairs and he was still holding her.
"Reid… what is taking Tyler so long?" asked Peyton.
"There is a chick in his house saying she's Bella… it's bullshit. There is no other Bella that I know and if that's who she is saying she is... Carly didn't have blonde hair."
"So I see he moved on." Carly whispered.
"Yeah… unfortunately he did, with a girl named Nicole."
"He's getting married?"
He nodded and said "In a few weeks."
"Ty, I'll just pretend I am who I used to be."
"What do you mean?"
"When I was taken and after I came out of my coma, I pretended to have amnesia. I was told that I was: Isabelle Cooper. Just say to everyone that I am her. I was lost or something… or I'm a cousin."
"Okay… I will. I' m sorry he acted like that."
"It's not what I expected but whatever."
"Do you want to come with us?"
"I can't… I got the kids here."
"Oh yeah… how bout we take them over to my mom to watch them. I'll go tell Reid I am staying with you."
"Okay." she wanted to curl up into a little ball and die. She tried getting home as fast as she could, but it was too late.
Tyler went outside, walked up to Reid sitting in the driver seat, and said "Um… go ahead and go without me."
"You are staying with that bitch?" asked Reid.
"She's not a bitch, Reid. She's one of my cousins. I'll meet up with you guys later."
"Then why did she say her name was Bella?"
"Because her name is Isabelle and that's a nickname."
"Whatever Ty… you better be there… and by the way Carly is dead. Just let it go and move on. She's not coming back."
"Fine." he said as Reid drove off.
After that he went back in the house and saw two kids at the bottom of the steps. He was in shock seeing Jacob being a spitting image as Reid when Reid was that age.
"Kids this is Mommy's brother, your Uncle Tyler… Ty, this is Lily and Jacob."
They nervously said "Hi." waving to him.
"Okay kids, we are going somewhere, so lets go." she told them.
They walked into the garage and got into Carly's rental car and drove to Tyler's mom's place. Rosalind was okay with watching them, so she did for however long they needed her to.
On the way, Carly explained to Tyler everything that had happened. Her being in the car with Chuck on the way to Reid's party that night, her being in a coma, him dying her hair blonde turning her into Isabelle, the plane crash she Used to kill Chuck, and her being back home.
He took everything in and let it marinate in his mind and thanking God that his baby sister made it home safely, but he still couldn't believe it.
