Chapter 4
I woke up and it was already dark out.
I walked downstairs and looked around. Elena and Caleb were already sound asleep on the couch in the living room. Elena had half of herself covered up and half not so I pulled the covers up to her shoulders careful not to wake her up.
I went to the kitchen next. I pulled out some milk and warmed it up. I dank it and took some sleeping pills to help me o back to bed.
The next morning I got myself dressed and then woke up the twins to dress them.
"Bella!" my dad called.
"Huh?" I called as I poured Elena and Caleb a bowl of Cheerios without and milk.
"I was wondering… do you mind if I take Caleb fishing with me today?" he asked shyly.
"That's alright. Just make sure he wears a life jacket and don't go on any boats with him. Oh and don't allow him on any docks and don't let him near the water. I don't want him to drown. Dad, watch over him all day for me."
"Okay, I promise. I'm about to head out so if you get him a jacket and some shoes on I'll load my car and head to Billy's."
I nodded and went to get him some shoes on. I did the straps on his shoes and put his coat on.
"Sweetie Grandpa's going to take you fishing. You be good for him. I'll see you later today and have fun," I said as I put him in the car seat that my dad put in his car.
"Kway mwommy," Caleb said.
I kissed his forehead and turned to my dad. "Take good care of my little boy. I don't want a scratch on him."
My dad smiled and nodded. I watched them drive away and went back into the house.
"Elena honey let's go out."
She bounded to me and pulled me to the door, eager as a puppy that had to go to the bathroom.
I put her coat on her and I put one on myself then opened the front door and locked it behind me.
"Where are we goin?" Elena said.
"On a walk sweetie. Just walk with me."
My daughter began skipping down the sidewalk. I followed her a few feet behind. I smiled at my little girl's happiness.
I just wish her dad was here. Well he could be here. I just don't know if it's right to tell him. To ruin his life. Jasper deserves better. He most certainly doesn't deserve to be forcibly sucked into this mess.
So why do I feel like I need to tell him?
"Elena, sweetie?" I asked.
She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around.
"Baby? Let's go see Jasper."
"Who's Jwaspar?" she asked.
I smiled. "You'll see."
