Only to be stopped by a hand on his arm and Bella saying "go, I got em"
"but Auntie Bella what about my picture"
"we can still take it"
"you sure?"
"yea positive, just um don't forget about us k?"
Tommy grinned, before blowing raspberries on both his niece and nephews neck and dropping a kiss on Bella's forehead.

"Jude! Jude wait" Tommy called after her. Running faster he caught up to her, and grabbed her arm. Spinning her around, he saw the hurt in her eyes.

"Why Tommy? I've waited, I'm through waiting" Jude said throwing a double statement at Tommy before continuing. "You told me to meet you at the park, only to see you all over some other girl"

Tommy sighed looking up towards the playground area he saw Bella helping Chris and Mia taking pictures. "Let me explain please!"

"Tom"
"10 minutes." Tommy requested leading Jude over to a bench near his family.

"fine" she agreed giving in, crossing her arms she sat down next to Tommy.

A few moments passed and he kept opening his mouth as if he was going to say something but then he'd change his mind.

"If your not going to talk then I'm going." Jude protested.

"I don't know where to start" he responded truthfully.

"How about leaving the way you left"
"fine, the man you saw me leave with was a friend of the family. Sort of, he works with my father at his law firm. He specializes in children cases. Somebody had called CPS on my mom, after seeing my mom being transported to the hospital in an ambulance. After a few days of no one but Isabella, Mia, and Chris coming to see my mom they figured that no one else was staying with her. Which was correct but still, anyways CPS cornered Bella at the hospital. For some reason, they had to stop by the courthouse for a moment, and leaving Bella in the hall. Len had just got done in court and saw Bella on her phone, trying to get a hold of someone and keeping Chris and Mia calm. Long story short, Len took over her case, allowing her to stay at home with the twins. Well he came and got me. Because I was the oldest, and my Brother Tristan was in Europe, and Tory and Jonathon were in New York for a couple of weeks. Tristan is my brother and Tory is my sister they are both 20 and Jonathon my brother in- law is 27." Tommy answering her unasked question. "He told me I had to come and take care of my family. No one knew where my father was, he was on some business trip and he wasn't answering his cell phone. So…" Tommy stated trailing off.
"But why…" Jude started to ask

"why I said I didn't know if I'd be back?" Tommy finished not waiting for Jude's answer "Because I didn't know where my dad was, and someone had to be taking care of Bella, my mom and my niece and nephew. And I still don't."
"Oh, what's wrong with your mom?" Jude asked, not expecting to see tears in his eyes.
Wrapping her arms around him he broke down. "She has some form of cancer, I don't remember. But they don't think she's going to make it" He explained between sobs.

A few moments pass and Tommy pulled away wiping his face free from tears, he looked down at Jude with a slight smile on his face, and her look and she stared back at him. They started leaning in for a kiss, not paying attention the flash, or to someone telling two little monsters to go and jump on Tommy. Right as they were about to kiss,

"Uncle Tommy! Uncle Tommy" Two little voices echoed, as they tried jumping up into his lap. Smiling down at them he asked "what?"
"Whose your fwind?" Chris asked innocently.
"Yea Uncle Tommy whose your friend?" Bella asked teasingly.

"Jude these are my sister's kids, Mia and Chris, and my annoying sister Isabella." Tommy introduced before watching the two younger kids run off and play.
"Hi I'm Bella." She smirked towards her brother. Laughter in her eyes, as Tommy's brows knitted together as if pleading. A few looks like that passed and finally Bella announced "fine I won't" Which won her a relieved sigh before she added "at least not yet" Turning to Jude, "I've heard so much about you"
"Bella you should really think about getting a will."
"a will? Tommy are you doing drugs?"
"No and yea a will like if you die soon"
"Oh I get it, Jerk"

Jude watched the siblings, smiling slightly seeing Tommy at peace, and the love he felt for his family.

"Uncle Tommy you promised to take a picture"
"I did didn't I?"
"Ok Chris why don't I help you and we let the picture just be aunt Jude, uncle Tommy and Mia ok?"
"ok say cheese" Chris's little voice shouted.
"Me next! Me next" Mia shouted wanting her turn,

"Ok Chris you go get in the pic"
Bella showed Mia what to do and then shoved her camera into the jacket's pocket. Hearing 'Gives You Hell' she smirked "Hey Tor, what up?"
"Oh nothing just kidnapping your kids. You'll never believe who I just met." Bella smirked turning towards Tommy and Jude.

"Oh nobody just Tommy's protégé remember Jude. Yea apparently she's a little bit more important than that"
Tommy groaned rubbing a hand over his face as he heard Bella teasing him and watching Jude as she was laughing.

"Yea we'll be there in 10. Alright later"
"Gives You Hell?" Tommy asked as she hung up
"Well yea! Besides, that is the ringtone for you and Tristan too. My brothers and sister give me hell all the time and Chris is cute, and nice"
"You give me hell too and I'm starting to think you have a thing for guys named Chris"
"I'm your little sister it's my job, and why do you think that?"
"Wait you know all American rejects?" Jude asked shocked and confused from the two conversations at once

"Yea Tommy introduced them, he produced their single move along" Bella stated

"Anyways, because theirs our chris, then the waiter and now AAR"
"Wow I didn't notice that, anyways Mia Chris guess what?"
"What?"
"Mommy and Daddy are home!"
"YAY" The two screamed.

"Jude wanna come" Bella asked, "I'll tell you what Tommy's said about you, what he hasn't and what we've found in his things."
"That's too good of an offer to refuse I'm in" She replied jokingly.
