Chapter 3

When I let the kids out of their car seats they ran to the door. I laughed and followed them. I watched as they both pounded on the door.

My dad opened the door a little confused.

"Grandpa!" Elena and Caleb yelled.

The look on his face was priceless. I laughed.

He looked down at them and up at me. "Bella?" he asked, not quite believing I was there.

"The one and only!" I laughed.

My dad gasped and ran to hug me. I smiled and hugged him back.

"Oh Bella," he sobbed into my shoulder. Was he crying?

"Daddy its okay come on let's go inside," I pulled him to the house. "Elena, Caleb, let's go inside."

They all followed me inside. I set my bags down and looked around. It was all so much the same.

"How long are you three staying and I have… grandchildren?"

I smiled. "Yeah… they are three. Elena Marie and Caleb Lee. Elena is wearing a tutu because she refuses to let me take it off. Caleb loves cars and anything that goes fast. We are staying for about a week, I guess, but daddy, please keep it on the down low. I don't want all my old friends coming after me."

"Alright, kiddo. I will."

"Good. Look dad I'm really tired. Can you watch the kids while I take a nap? Come get me if you need help."

"I will. You get some sleep."

I walked to my old room and collapsed on my bed.
