Chapter 2

BPOV

The entire ride from the airport to the house was spent with Alexa talking Lane's ear off. I doubt she even stopped once to breathe. It didn't take long for Alexa to warm up to Lane, I had a feeling poor Lane wasn't going to have a free moment to herself the entire summer with Alexa following her everywhere. That's what Alexa did, my girl was like a lost puppy when it came to new people. I just hope Lane doesn't get tired of her too fast, and she hasn't even met the triplets yet.

"Come on, Lex, let Lane get settled in." I directed Alexa towards the living room when we got to the house. She pouted a little but went anyway.

"She's really talkative." Lane laughed looking around.

"She is. I can tell she likes you. She's already starting to follow your every move." I laughed. "So, don't be angry with me but there was only one spare room left…" I bit down on my lip.

"Masen's room…" She said in a whisper.

"I'm sorry Lane…we can figure something else out if you'd like."

"No, it's fine, Bella. I can handle it, it's not like I'm still in love with him anymore." She laughed nervously. I just nodded.

Who was this girl kidding?

"Alright then, you know where it is. I'm going to start dinner." I watched her take a deep breath and then walk up the stairs.

I walked towards the kitchen where I found Edward sitting at the counter with Mikey in his lap. I smiled at them and kissed them both on the cheek.

"How'd it go?" Edward asked me. "What'd she say about Masen's room?"

"Not anything really." I sighed and Edward wrapped his free arm around me. I leaned into him as I looked down to see that Mikey was coloring. "What are you coloring there, buddy?" Mikey looked up at me with those innocent brown eyes of his.

Every time I looked into those eyes I couldn't help but feel like a terrible mother. A year ago Mikey was diagnosed with Epilepsy. Childhood Absence Epilepsy to be more precise or CAE. He stares off into space and starts blinking repeatedly. At first I didn't think anything of it but I started to notice it happen far too often. One episode was worse then the other's and I made Edward watch him. We brought him to the hospital after that. He had so many tests done until they figured out what it was.

"A picture for you." He grinned. I reached out and ruffled his brown hair then looked at Edward, he knew what I was asking.

"Not that I have seen." He held on to Mikey tighter. The day Mikey was diagnosed with CAE, Edward had a sort of break down. He didn't push me away this time, instead we faced our sons epilepsy together.

"Good." I kissed the top of Mikey's head before I started dinner. "Where are the girls?" I asked Edward without turning around.

"Alice stopped by to drop something off." That all he needed to say. Sometimes I think Alison and Gracie like her better then they do me.

"Are they coming home anytime today?" I asked. Alice most likely took them shopping, which meant they would have clothes to stay the night. It's usually what happened. Alexa usually joined them but she was with me. I wondered where Alice got the energy to deal with the girls when she had three little boys of her own.

"She said she'll call when she knows."

"Mama, where's Ali and Gracie?" Alexa walked into the kitchen. I bit my lip.

I was about to say something when Lane walked into the kitchen. I smiled at her. She looked a little down, I felt a little at fault for that. I should have moved Mikey into Masen's old room.

"Lane this is Mikey, Mikey this is Lane. She's going to be watching you and your sisters while I go to work." I explain to him. Mikey turned his head to look at me and looked as if he were about to cry. Edward started to rub his back.

"Wow, Bella, he looks just like you." Lane laughed. I nodded, that's what everyone said.

"Yeah, he's just as clumsy as I am, too." I sighed getting back to my previous task of dinner.

"Daddy, are you going to work too?" Mikey sounded like he was on the verge of tears. I sighed and braced myself against the counter.

"Yeah, buddy." Edward sighed. "Lane is really nice, though. You'll love her." Edward said as Lane came over to my side.

"Anything I can help with?" She tapped her fingers on the counter.

"Can you prepare the salad?" I asked.

"Of course." I told her where everything was and she stood next to me. "There's something that I have to tell you about Mikey. I feel terrible for not telling you before but I need you to be aware of his condition."

"Is he sick?" I could hear Lane gulp next to me.

"A year ago he was diagnosed with Childhood Absence Epilepsy. They are brief episodes but are still scary to see. You'll know when it's happening because he'll be unresponsive, drop whatever he's doing and just stare off. He loses motor features sometimes, but not always. Mostly it's just his eyes blinking repeatedly…" I tried to explain. "I understand if you don't want to watch them now, I should have mentioned this before…"

"It's fine, Bella. Just tell me what I have to do. I'm sure I can handle it." She smiled.

"I can't thank you enough for coming here, Lane."

"Masen…baby, why are you leaving me for so long?" My girlfriend of almost two years pouted as I tried to finish getting my stuff together. I sighed and turned towards her.

"Cassie, it's only for the summer. You're going to be busy the entire time with your modeling anyway. And I haven't seen my parent's since Thanksgiving." I walked over and took her hands. "Is this the trust thing again?" I asked quirking an eyebrow.

Cassie has major trust issues, along with being the most jealous woman I've ever dated. She's also entirely too clingy, sometimes I wonder why I'm even with her anymore.

"Fine! Have fun with your freaking family and leave me all alone in New York."

"I knew you'd understand, babe." I gave her a peck on the lips before hoisting my bag up on my shoulder. "I'll call you sometime."

"I love you, Masen." I cringed every time she said that. Sure, I care about Cassie but love? No, I don't love her, and I don't think I ever will.

"Yeah, I know." I said before leaving.

The flight was uneventful. Once I landed in Seattle I got my things and went outside to wait for my Grandfather. My parent's had no idea I would be coming so soon, I told them I'd be there in the middle of June. I wanted it to be some sort of surprise for my Mom because I knew how much she loved it when I was home.

"Masen!" I turned around quickly to find my best friend, Seth, walking beside Grandpa. Seth moved to Florida after graduation, so I hadn't seen him in four years. We kept in touch but we were nowhere as near as close as we used to be.

"I thought you were in Florida, man." I laughed as we hugged.

"My mom talked me into staying for the summer." He shrugged. "Plus, the old man here told me you were spending the summer in Fork's, so I figured why not." I just shook my head at him.

I gave Charlie a hug before we got in his police cruiser.

"So, have you talk to Lane since graduation?" Seth asked me. He was sitting in the back behind the bars.

"No." I coughed. The last thing I wanted to think about was my ex-girlfriend, the girl who broke my heart. I changed the subject quickly because there's no way in hell I'm starting my summer off feeling like shit.

I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS! I copied it from Wikipedia, just so you know because I'm pretty sure this is a better explanation then I could give you.

Epilepsy - a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms of abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with almost 90% of these people being in developing countries. Epilepsy is more likely to occur in young children, or people over the age of 65 years, however it can occur at any time. Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication, although surgery may be considered in difficult cases. However, over 30% of people with epilepsy do not have seizure control even with the best available medications. Not all epilepsy syndromes are lifelong – some forms are confined to particular stages of childhood. Epilepsy should not be understood as a single disorder, but rather as a group of syndromes with vastly divergent symptoms but all involving episodic abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Childhood Absence Epilepsy (What Mikey has)- (CAE) is an idiopathic generalized epilepsy that affects children between the ages of 4 and 12 years of age, although peak onset is around 5–6 years old. These patients have recurrent absence seizures, brief episodes of unresponsive staring, sometimes with minor motor features such as eye blinking or subtle chewing. The EEG finding in CAE is generalized 3 Hz spike and wave discharges. Some go on to develop generalized tonic-clonic seizures. This condition carries a good prognosis because children do not usually show cognitive decline or neurological deficits, and the seizures in the majority cease spontaneously with ongoing maturation.
