Chapter 6
"Mum, Edward, We'll just be in the kitchen discussing things" I said in a serious tone as I dragged Brendan into the kitchen, I was truly worried about how things would go on between them. I didn't want mum hurt again.
Once we had both sat down and here staring intently into each other's eyes I snapped out of my trance because I needed to explain things to Brendan, " okay, so let me explain, Mum said that she had a high school sweetheart who left her after a year of dating, has your dad ever mentioned anything?" I asked
He thought for a moment and replied "actually, dad mentioned someone called Tanya who was my mother, I don't remember much of her but I don't really consider her my mother much anyway. I don't think dad ever mentioned anything about any Bella…" he trailed off.
"Hmm, so where does that leave us?" I wondered aloud. "Let's just come straight out with them, we'll sit them down and have a talk about everything."
"Sounds embarrassing, for them I mean. But all the more funny for us!" he exclaimed as he held my shoulders and led us into the living room where mum and Edward were talking intently. They didn't seem to notice when we sat next to them on the couch so Brendan had to clear his throat to get some attention.
"Oh, sorry Hun" mum replied and Edward straightened his posture.
"Okay, so we've been doing some thinking these past few minutes and we've decided that we'd like to put it all out there. Be completely honest." I said in a flurry.
"Hmm, great minds think alike, we've been thinking of the same thing too" Edward said as he gave me a quick wink and of course, I blushed my scarlet pink.
"Mum, who was my father, and Edward, Who is Brendan's mother and we'd like the truth and nothing but the truth." I decided to go formal court case style as I said that.
"Leish, your father was a boy from my days at forks high school" she said as she gave a quick glance at Edward before returning her eyes on me. "You were made one night after Jess's Graduation party… A drunken condom accident. I'm so sorry. But it was a good mistake, and I promise you that!"
I was speechless, I'd always know that mum had never had a serious relationship but I wasn't expecting a drunken condom accident!!
Edward broke the silence "I suppose it's my turn to explain everything now. Well… my story is a similar story except it wasn't an accident. We knew what we were getting ourselves into. But yes Brendan as you know your mother was Tanya who was my dad's friend, and she left me with you when you were just born. She wasn't ready to be a mother. So I was seventeen stuck with a child to look after on my own." He sounded relieved to have it all out.
