Chapter 2
"Mummy who that?" The little girl said pointing to me. I was just as confused as the girl was. "Bella this is daddy"
"Daddy?" I asked my eyes widening. "You hate me don't you?" Sabrina said. Bella fidgeted in Sabrina's arms which resulted in her putting the toddler down. "Can I touch him?" Bella asked Sabrina. Sabrina laughed and looked at me. I crouched down and held my arms out. Bella laughed and run to me. I picked her up and stood up. I felt tiny lips on my cheek. "I love you daddy" said Bella. I smiled and felt a tear fall down my cheek. "Is that happy, Sad, angry, annoyed crazy or what tear?" Sabrina asked sitting down. "Happy. Annoyed. Sad. Amazed. Shocked" I said sitting next to her. The little brunette was latched onto me and I don't think she planned on letting go soon. Sabrina looked at me and gave me a weak smile. "I mean it when I say we are always talking about you. I never forgot about you. Not once. You were in every thought I had. I hated myself after I left. I changed my number and deleted all my social networks because I didn't want you to contact me. I felt like such a monster I thought you deserved someone better, that if you never talked to me, you would forget me and move on. Look were that led us" Sabrina said giving on chuckle and then shaking her head. I looked down at my daughter (Wow that's going to take some time to get used to) and saw her eyes were closed and her mouth was in a little o shape. It was very cute. I ran my fingers through her curly brown hair and kissed the top of her head, "I may not know Bella. But I do know I love her too" I said to Sabrina who was smiling. "Come back with me" I said without thinking. "Sabrina looked at me and smiled. "As much as I want to I can't. Bell doesn't have a passport. And I don't have the money to get one" Sabrina said. "What do you mean Bri?" I asked shifting Bella a little. "Im struggling Kendall. I have a job but they are struggling too. I can only just pay rent. Bless them but my friends have to practically buy all my food" Sabrina said. I realised I still had my bag. "I'll make you a deal" I said. Sabrina looked up. "Im not borrowing money. I hate using someone else's money"
"Fine. Hear me out. Either takes this money that I give you, you pay your rent, get food and keep Bella safe here. Or... you let me get Bella a passport, and you two come back and live with me" I said running my hand down her back. Sabrina looked at me. "You would really get her a passport and let us live with you after everything I've done?" Sabrina asked. I nodded. She smiled and hugged me gently since Bella was squished between us. She moved away and stood up. "Thank you Kendall. I would offer you a drink but... we only really have things for her" Sabrina said giving me a nervous smile. I smiled hugely back. "All that is going to change" I said. Sabrina laughed and took Bella from me. "Give me two minutes" She said. She took her upstairs to bed and came down five minutes later with a blanket in her hands. She put something in the DVD player. She sat next to me and threw the blanket over both of us. I smiled and put my arm around her. She turned the TV on and pressed play on the DVD player. "Keep me safe" Sabrina whispered when the Titles came on. Chucky. "I thought you were scared of this Movie?"
"I am! It gives me nightmares"
"Then why are you watching it? And why do you have it on DVD?"
"Because I never did watch it with you" Sabrina said smiling at me. I laughed and shook my head. "I'll keep you safe" Sabrina snuggled closer into my side and relaxed. I couldn't believe I had Sabrina back with me. I thought it would be so much harder than this! I guess god knew we had to be together, and brought us back. And it gave me a blessing in the form of Bella. I looked down at Sabrina and saw she was asleep. I smiled and moved gently not to wake her up. I layed her down on the sofa and pulled the blanket over her keeping her warm. I went into her kitchen In search of a nod pad and noticed Sabrina was spot on. She had barley anything in here. I sighed and looked through her draws until I came across a pad. I grabbed a pen and scribbled a note down. I gave her one last look and went upstairs. I looked in the rooms until I came to the one I wanted. I quietly stepped in and saw Bella lying on her stomach, facing the door with her hair hanging down her back. She had her eyes closed and like earlier, her mouth in a little O shape. Her room was white and pink. She had a little dinner (fake) set with teddy bears sat around it along with dolls, and she had little cupboards and toys all around the room. She had a big pink dolls house with people and furniture randomly inside. I laughed when I saw one of them head first down the chimney. Typical two year old. Then up against the wall was a small bed, with little gate things* around the edge to make sure she doesn't fall out. I walked over and knelt down. I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. "I love you baby girl. Don't forget that. And you and mummy can come back with me to America and be a family. A proper family. Together" I whispered and kissed her head again. I sighed and stood up, leaving the building.
Sabrina's POV
I opened my eyes when I heard the front door close. I hummed. "Ken who was that?" I asked patting what I thought was Kendall's Lap. It turned out to be emptiness. I sat up and looked around and saw nothing. I stood up and saw a note on the coffee table. I sighed and picked it up.
Sabrina. I didn't want to wake you up; you looked so peaceful and away from the stress you call life: S I have to go back to my hotel before the guys freak. Im staying at the chance harbour (**) hotel. Second floor Room J. (***) Please come by tomorrow. We have a lot to talk about.
Love Kendall.
P.S 04534388621 – My number. We really need to talk. Now I know you're awake in the middle of the night. Go to sleep.
I laughed at how well Kendall knew me. I saved Kendall's Number in my phone and wrote down the hotel and room number on a piece of paper and put it in my bag. I went upstairs and peeped my head in Bella's room like I did every night. I saw she was still asleep and safe and went into my room. I was about to get changed when I heard my front door open. I groaned knowing exactly who it was. I went downstairs to be greeted by the sight of my Step mum. "What do you want Nancy?" I asked sitting on the steps. I hated her and she hated me. "I want what I always come for but never seem to get" She said through gritted teeth. "I said that to you when I was 17. Id dint know what was happening to me and I was scared. I changed my mind. If you think your getting a hold on her your wrong" I said. "Well Im not leaving until I have her" She said walking towards the stair. I scrambled up and stood in front of her. "Don't you dare. Shes mine." I said through gritted teeth. Before I knew it she back handed me. Hard making me fall over. She kicked me in the ribs making me scream out in pain. I couldn't move without agonizing pain running through my body. "Mummy?" I heard a little voice say from the top of the stairs. I saw Bella with her face between two banister bars with a tear in her eye. "No, no, no baby its okay. Mummy's fine-"
"Bella darling!" Nancy said holding her arms out. "Bella No" I said when she started walking towards her gran in law. "It Kay mummy. It granny noonoo" Bella said whilst Nancy picked her up. "Yes Sabrina. Im just nanny noonoo" She said with an evil smirk. Nancy started walking down the stairs. Nancy knew exactly how my daughter worked and how to get her to sleep. She rubbed her back gently and kissed the top of her head a couple of time s every minute. I tried to get up but I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried. I couldn't. About two minutes later I saw Bella asleep in her grandmother's arms. Not having a clue what was going on. I shook my head. "Please. She needs her mum. Don't take her away" I said trying the nice card. It was worth a try. She shook her head and kicked me in the ribs once again. I screamed in pain and closed my eyes in pain. Next thing I heard was the door slam shut. I gasped and opened my eyes seeing nothing. "Bella!" I yelled. No matter how much it hurt I pushed myself up just to fall back over from the pain. I saw my mobile on the coffee table and made my way over there. I gently reached there and grabbed it leaning back on the sofa. I was contemplating whether to phone the police or not. I settled for a number and pressed dial. It rang five times before a groggy Kendall answered. "Who are you and how did you get my number?" He asked sleepily. "Ken its Sabrina. I need you. Please come back" I said my tears suddenly running free. "Im on my way. What's happened?" He said. I heard shuffling in the background and then a door shut. "I'll explain when you get here. You're going to hate me" I said. "What do you me-" I hung up on Kendall and leaned back against the couch letting my tears fall free. Why couldn't I have a normal family that didn't want to steal my daughter! Why couldn't I be a better mum and stop her. I lifted my shirt up and saw a bug bruise sporting on the side of my skin. I think I've defiantly cracked a few ribs. I got up and stretched a little. No matter how much this hurt I needed to be able to walk. After a couple of minutes stretching it still hurt, but wouldn't stop me running or walking. I heard a knock on the door and they wouldn't stop until I opened. I grabbed my phone and my purse (With the money I have in there). I grabbed a jacket with Kendall still repeatedly banging on the door. I put my jacket on and put the things in the pocket and opened the door. Kendall stood there gasping with a scared face. "I literally ran here. What's up?" He asked going to step inside. I put my hand on his chest. I grabbed a torch of the table by the door and walked outside locking the door as I exited. "What are you gunna do? Just leave Bella alone in there?" He asked wide eyed. "Shes two!" He exclaimed. "Im not leaving her!" I yelled fresh tears coming to my eyes. Kendall immediately saw them and stopped yelling. "Im finding her" I whispered. "Please help me. I couldn't stand and she kicked me and took her and Im so sorry" I said sobbing uncontrollably. Kendall had tears come to his eyes and he wrapped his arms around me. "It's okay. We'll get her back. I promise. We won't stop until we do" He said kissing the top of my head. "Now you know this place a lot better than I do. Were would she go?" Kendall asked letting go of me and looking me in the eye. "It's not where Bella would go-"
"Okay now Im confused. I thought you said shes gone missing"
"Let me finish. I never said that. I said I don't have her. My dad's wife took her. When I was pregnant I talked to her" I started walking off, Im guessing Kendall followed me. "Continue" He said as I turned the torch on. "I was so scared and she was desperate. She had an accident years ago that stopped her having children. Me being the girl I was, I was so scared I told her she could have mine" I said looking at Kendall who was just listening intently looking at the path ahead. "Bella was born and I saw how beautiful she was. I thought that I had got this far, I could do the rest. In a couple of years Bella would be able to do certain things by herself. I told Nancy that I had changed my mind and that I wanted Bella. I wanted my own daughter. Ever since then she came to my house every two weeks to try and get her. This it's the first time she succeeded" I said. I looked over to Kendall who had a blank expression on his face. I looked around and spotted the house I wanted. I grabbed Kendall's arm and pulled him two the door. I banged on the door and did the same as Kendall had. I wouldn't stop until someone answered. I knew someone was home because there was a car on the drive way. I kept banging until I heard a voice saying 'okay okay!' They opened the door. "What the hell its 12am and - Oh Sabrina" I pushed past as did Kendall and I turned to face my dad. "Where is that nut case of a wife?" I asked looking around. "What are you talking about?" He asked closing the front door. "Where the hell is your so called wife?" I yelled. "Sabrina calm down-"
"NO I WILL NOT FUCKING CALM DOWN! TELL ME WHERE SHE IS NOW!" I yelled. "She isn't here Sabrina! She said she was going to pop out and see a friend. She never came back!" My dad yelled. "I swear to god dad if you're lying I will never forgive you" I said before leaving with Kendall. "Sabrina you need to chill. We will find her okay" Kendall said looking me in the eyes and putting a hand on my cheek. I sighed and looked at him. "Ken our daughter is missing and you want me to calm down? Im scared Kendall" I said a tear running down my cheeks. "Hey, hey, Hey" He said wiping the tear away. "You said she wanted Bella as a daughter correct?" He asked wiping away another tear. I nodded. "Then she will act like her mother. She won't hurt Bella okay?" He asked. I nodded and looked around. "I don't know where to look Ken. I don't know what to do"
"Phone the police. There is nothing we can do okay?" He said looking me in the eye. "Ken I-"
"No Sabrina. We have to phone the police. Our daughter is missing. It will be dealt with better if we let them handle it okay" Kendall said. I sighed and nodded. "Can you do it? I don't know how to tell them my daughter is missing" I said he nodded and got his phone out. "999 right?" He asked. In America its 911. He's probably making sure. I nodded and he put the phone to his ear. "Henderson right?" Kendall asked me. I knew he meant Bella's Last name. I shook my head. "Knight" Kendall looked at with wide eyes. I shook my head knowing he wanted an explanation. "Later" I mouthed and started walking. Kendall caught up with me and grabbed my hand. He was talking into the phone telling them everything they needed to know. I wasn't really listening. I twined mine and Kendall's Fingers together and gave him a weak smile. He thanked the man or woman and hung up. "Now go home and get some rest. The cops have got this under control okay?" Kendall said stopping and looking at me. I shook my head. "Come with me. Please. I'll feel safe with you around" I asked. Kendall sighed and nodded.
We got home about ten minutes later. We went straight to my room and sat on the bed. I sighed and put my face in my hands. "Hey" Kendall said pulling my wrists away. I looked at him. "Im sorry" I said. "Please please can you do something? Im begging you" I said moving closer to him. I don't know what has taken over me but I know I want it and bad. "Anything you want" He murmured. "Make love to me" I whispered. I felt Kendall tense under my hands. "A-Are you sure?" He asked. "I don't think we should. You're stressed. You're not thinking straight. We need to relax okay?" He said rubbing his thumb along my cheek. "Please Kendall. I really want thins. I can feel it in my heart. I haven't been with anyone in three years because all I've wanted is you. Your here now Kendall. Please. I know you want too" I said grabbing his hand. "I love you" Kendall said and crashed his lips to mine.
I woke up to someone's phone ringing. I lifted my head from Kendall's bare chest and went to grab it. I picked up Kendall's Phone and pressed answer without even looking at the number. "Hello?" I asked sleepily. "Hello is a Mr. Knight available?" I heard the voice on the other end. Took the phone away from m ear and saw the number 999 on the screen. Yes. Two seconds" I said. I shook Kendall waking him up. He groaned and looked at me. "What?" He asked. "The police are on the phone" I said holding it out to him. He sat up and put it to his ear. "Hello? Yes that's me. Yes. You found her! Kendall said smiling at me. I laughed and smiled. I saw his smile fall and so did mine. "What, what did they say?" I asked. I got up and put on some underwear and threw some boxers to Kendall. He grabbed them with his free hand and stood up. He put the phone between his shoulder and cheek and pulled them on. "You sure it's her?" Kendall asked. "Yes... yes... Okay we are on our way. Thank you so much. Okay bye. Bye" He said and hung up. "Get dressed. Were going to the hospital" he said picking up his clothes from last night. "What?" I asked stopping what I was doing. "Kendall walked over to me and gave me a sweet kiss. "Don't butter it up Kendall. What happened?" I asked. He sighed. "She has three cracked ribs and bruising covering her arms stomach and legs. She has a large cut on the top of her head" Kendall said looking at me. I gasped and felt a tear fall down my cheek. "No. no no. I refuse to believe that" I said avoiding eye contact with Kendall. "Come on Sabrina. Im not lying. I wouldn't lie about something like this. Now please get dressed so we can go see her" Kendall said throwing me my clothes. I sighed and got dressed. I tied up my hair in a quick ponytail, Grabbed my jacket and made my way with Kendall to the hospital to see our broken daughter.
