Carry On

by StutterRutter

"It takes a Village to raise a child." It's been over 10 years since anyone has heard from Nina Martin. But, after she left Fabian alone with their daughter, no body really cares. They joined forces to raise her, usually, putting their our lives on the back burner. But now, Arabella Rutter is 13 and everything starts to change. And they only have one choice, to Carry On.

10. Plan A

-Chapter 10-

~Mia~

I run outside "Arabella!" I yell

"Over here!" She yells back from the side of the house

"I need to talk to you." I tell her

"Mia has to talk to me, go over there for a minute." Arabella tells the four kids "what is it?"

"Nina Martin." I sigh

"Is she here?" Arabella gets more excited

"Yes but-" I try to explain

"Maybe she knows who my mum is!" Arabella almost yells

"No." I say

"Why?"

"Nina Martin is your mum." I whisper

The color drains from Arabella's face, her bright eye dull.

"How long have you known?" She asks

"I few months" I admit

"Why didn't you tell me?" Arabella looks at me

"Look, the minute you show interest. She's gonna take custody. She's gonna take you to America. I'm rarely gonna see you." I explain

She looks down "fine. What do I have to do?"

"You have to act like Nina is like the rest of them. Like you have no idea she's your Mum." I say

"Uh, that's gonna be sorta hard." Arabella tell me

"And your sorta, kinda, difficult, so it'll match you perfect!" I joke, trying to lighten the mood

A/N sorry the update is late guys, but, i was sorta kinda at a Katy Perry concert so... Yeah... Cut me some slack? Anyways... is Mia and Arabellas plan gonna work? Tell me✌️!
