Chapter 6: Day Care

I was nervous.

Extremely nervous.

Probably more nervous then Ethan!

Definitely more nervous then Emmett.

Everyone seemed so calm and happy about this idea, but me? No.

Why couldn't he just spend the day with Alice?

Why did the damn therapist insist he go to day care!

Alright I am ranting. I know why she wanted him to go to day care and I knew why Alice could not take him but it did not change the fact that I disliked it. I also knew it would be good for him but it did not change the fact I did not like it.

It has been two months since the birth of the triplets and a week since they were brought home and almost two months since Ethan started therapy with Zafrina. She was a kind thoughtful women who knew how to handle children who have been through trauma. At first he just sat and played with the millions of toys and never spoke to her. It took three weeks, two sessions a week for him to actually start talking. I also was not allowed in the room after the first time, but he knew I was right outside the door and he could easily come to me if he needed. Which he did at least once every time he went.

Since then he has become rather attached to the women. The therapy was working well with Ethan and he was getting better at realizing I would not hurt him, nor would Emmett or Jasper or Carlisle or Charlie. That he could feel safe with these men. Slowly but surely he interacted with them but avoided touching them, other then Emmett. He was working on it though.

Esme and Carlisle were proven to be the grandparents and they signed rights over to me when they asked if they wanted Ethan. Victoria had pleaded guilty to all counts and got a hefty sentence though I wished it were more. She got ten-fifteen years. I was surprised it was so many but then again they said she could be out under ten years as well. I just hoped she never came near Ethan again.

The state said it would be a few more months before they would approve the adoption. They said it was protocol or something. I did not care…I knew he would be mine soon. Esme and Carlisle were adamant I get custody and the courts agreed.

While Ethan was doing better I was worrying more.

They STILL had not caught James. He was still on the lose some where and I was always worried he would come and find Ethan. Ethan did not know this. I did not want to tell him the man that hurt him was still out there. All I said to Ethan when he worried about him was 'he will never hurt you again' and this was the truth I refused to let him worry because I would be doing everything in my power to keep him safe and protected from the evil man known as James.

Then there was this whole day care thing.

Zafrina told me he needed to socialize, get to know other children and learn to be separated from me for periods of time.

It was August 23rd and I started my Job September 7th day after labor day. I had a total of ten days to get Ethan used to day care. This did not count weekends or labor day.

She said we should start day care now, me staying with him during part of the first day, then leaving for an hour before coming back for him, then slowly increase the time where I was gone until it was the full time I would be working. She had told me even if he starts crying when I leave, to leave him. He would be alright. Just leave. I do not know if I could but I had to try. I knew what she said was right. Ethan needed this or he would never be able to go to school when he was older.

I took a deep breath and stood. Time to get Ethan ready for his first day. Zafrina explained to Ethan what was going to happen, but he was scared as well. He had not really been around other children and he had never been exposed to such a place. Though I also knew he was excited to see the toys and other things he could play with.

I walked into his room and shook his shoulder gently. "Ethan? Up and at'em time to get ready for school." He preferred if I called it school.

"noooooo Miss Bella!" He pulled the blanket over his head curling up.

"Its okay Ethan come on, lets get dressed. I tugged the blanket up and handed him his clothes and he dropped them and looked away crossing his arms. "NO." He said a little louder. This was one of the only times he defied me. The only other time was the first time we went to see Zafrina for the second time. He had understood he would be alone with the woman while I waited outside the door and oh boy that time was even worse then this. Normally he simply agreed to what I asked of him.

"Ethan you're a big boy. We are going to school. I know you are scared but we are going and I will be there for awhile okay?" He shook his head and frowned deeply. "Come on I made you chocolate chip pancakes and some yummy lunch for school." I handed him his clothes again and he frowned but he put them on and I helped him with his shoes. He trudged his way down the steps, eyes down cast as he walked.

He was not very happy at the moment but I had to believe things would work out.

I had to.

I set his pancakes in front of him. He poked it before he started to eat quietly. I ate a bit as I watched him. When I was done I put the dishes in the sink and then put a whole dish of pancakes in the microwave for Emmett. I got our lunches from the fridge and handed Ethan his teddy bear Emmett had given him the day before.

'here you go Ethan! I will not be home in the morning tomorrow, but bring this bear with you and it will protect you! He is my little friend and he will keep you safe! Nothing bad can happen while your holding him."

Ethan smiled like an idiot and nodded. He truly believed that the bear could protect him and if he believed it then good for him.

Ethan had not let that bear go since Emmett had given it too him, except when he bathed and ate.

I took Ethan's hand and we headed out the door. It was nice out today, for once. Still cool but the sun was out. I put a jacket on Ethan before heading out the door and started walking toward the preschool.

I looked down at Ethan and smiled. He truly looked allot better. His bruises had healed and he was no longer skin and bones. Still thin but none of his bones poked out. Oh then there was his arm. His cast had been removed two weeks ago and he was extremely happy to have use of both arms once again.

The day his cast was removed was…fun…and I mean that in the most sarcastic way possible.

"Come on Ethan! Time to go to the hospital and like grandpa Carlisle take off your cast!"

Ethan came running down the stairs and into my arms. "Alright!"

Oh sure he was excited now, about getting rid of it but I had a feeling that would not last.

I knew how they removed casts. With that stupid saw thing. I had a feeling this would freak Ethan out.

Thankfully Carlisle was going to do it himself. He did not like doctors but he was okay with Carlisle now, so I could only hope it was alright. Emmett was coming with us just in case Ethan needed to be held. I could not hold him when he was moving around like a maniac.

We all got into the car and headed to the hospital and we were taken right away. They brought us to the room where Carlisle was waiting for us. He normally had today off but agreed to come in to take care of this for us and for Ethan.

I sat Ethan on the table and he gasped when he saw the stuff on the table. It after all looked rather intimidating after all.

"hello Ethan how are you today?" Carlisle asked blocking view of the instruments, knowing thats exactly what he was looking at.

"I okay ampa." He answered softly.

"good, good…ready to get this cast off?" Carlisle asked touching it gently and got a nod from Ethan. "Yeah…it itchy" He mumbled as he looked toward me, knowing he had to let the doctor touch him. I was holding his other hand as Carlisle spoke to him.

"yeah now you can scratch all you want…why don't you lay down while I take this off okay?" Ethan slowly nodded and I sat down near his head, making him look at me instead of his arm. Then he turned on the saw thing and the humming sound made Ethan look and he shook slightly moving away.

I sighed. "Ethan? Its alright. It is just to get rid of the cast. He has to cut it off. It will not hurt, it will feel allot better when it is off. I promise." I said gently and kissed Ethan's head softly.

Ethan looked at Carlisle and frowned "N-No." He said quietly, shaking a bit.

"Sit up for a second Ethan." He said in a gentle voice, he slowly did and Carlisle turned the electrical saw on again and pressed it against his hands a few times before showing it to Ethan. "See, it does not hurt. It just moves really fast to take the cast off." Ethan still did not look convinced. I held my hand out to Carlisle.

"Do it to me." I said grinning. Carlisle nodded before holding my hand and pressing the saw to my hand. The blade was not sharp and it actually tickled slightly. After I pulled my hand away Ethan grasped it and looked at it intently, making sure I was not hurt.

"See? It does not hurt, it tickles a little." I said before kissing his cheek gently and sat back in my chair.

"If you're a brave little boy I'll give you a loli pop okay?" Carlisle said ruffling Ethan's hair a bit. Ethan did not look convinced but laid back down facing me, his eyes closed tightly. I sighed softly before kissing his head and hummed softly into his ear as Carlisle turned on the saw again. With the buzzing Ethan jumped and held my hand tighter. I hummed softly into his ear trying to calm him down. I knew this would not hurt but Ethan was freaked out by it. I was too the first time I had one taken off. I was around five.

Carlisle went to work removing Ethan's cast and after a few minutes his arm was free. Ethan did not stop shaking until the saw was off and he felt his arm freed from the contraption. Slowly he opened his eyes and turned to his arm, wiggling his fingers slightly.

"I not hurt…" He said quietly.

I giggled softly. "Told ya so." I said smirking at him when he pouted.

"It looks weird." He mumbled looking at his two arms.

"Oh it will look better in a few weeks…oh look what grandpa Carlisle has for you!' I pointed to Carlisle who handed him a nice big, blue loli pop. Ethan's eyes went wide and grasped it with his hand and smiled again. "Ank you!" He said before licking it.

Carlisle smiled and handed me his cast and told me everything I needed to do, all of which I already knew from my own bad experiences.

Well the ending was good but that does not change the fact Ethan was scared about something and that always made me uncomfortable. I was glad he had been able to pull through it however. Now back to the topic on hand...Ethan starting daycare...

Day care day 1

The day care was located right next to the elementary school. I told Ethan that was where I would be working. He just nodded and I led him to the day care. He agreed with me but I could tell he was too preoccupied with attending daycare...

We were here a little early since we needed to meet the teacher and we all thought it would be good for him to be there before the children show up.

I walked inside of the daycare pulling Ethan inside and he smiled looking around at the brightly colored room, with the toys, rugs, and books and so many other nice things. A kind looking women with brown hair and brown eyes stepped out from the back with a smile. "Hello Miss. Swan! It is nice to finally meet you!" She said stepping forward to shake my hand. "my name is Angela Cheney. Miss Angela to the children. And this must be Ethan." She said kneeling down in front of Ethan who was practically hidden behind my leg.

"Nice too meet you too. And yes this is Ethan." I said moving aside to pat him on the head and moved him forward slightly. "Hi.." He said shyly looking up at Miss Angela.

I smiled gently about to speak but Angela shook her head smiling. "Hello Ethan…would you like to play with some cars while I talk to …" She looked up at me wondering what he called me, I was sure. "miss Bella." I mouthed and she thanked me silently. "Miss Bella? We have a whole bunch of cars over there and a track too. You want to play?" She asked tilting her head with a soft smile.

Ethan looked up at me and I nodded. "go on and play we will be right here okay?" he nodded and Angel led him over to the rug and took out the track and a bunch of cars before walking over to me. Ethan was entranced by the cars at the moment.

Angel then turned to me and nodded once. "He will be fine…the other kids will be arriving soon..lets get some paperwork out of the way!" She smiled widely and I nodded with the same smile before sitting down with her in the little kids chairs and signed emergency care cards and provided images of each. Just so they were sure the right people where picking them up. I actually knew Angela. She was a couple of years older then me, but we went to high school together. I knew she was a good person.

As I filled out the information I spoke. "I can see you married Ben huh?" I looked up at her and she blushed slightly but nodded finally. "Yeah…I did…he is a wonderful man." She smiled again and I nodded. They had been high school sweet hearts. Ben was in my grade, but they were very good for each other.

Just as I finished the paperwork I heard a little voice. "mommy! Who dat?"

The little girl was the spitting image of Angela, it had to be her daughter. "Oh…that's Ethan, he is new, why don't you say hello Sarah?" The little girl nodded before going over to Ethan. I thought Ethan would panic but no he spoke to her and the little girl blushed! Hmmm quite the little charmer I supposed.

I shook my head turning back to Angela. "She is precious." Angela nodded. "Thank you…she turned three a few weeks ago. "

"Hmmm they are the same age then." I said quietly again Angela nodded before we finished up the paperwork.

"I figure you can stand in the background if you think he can handle himself, if not you can sit with him…try to give him independence though alright? The more distant you are from him the easier it will be when you are not here completely." I nodded. I understood. I asked multiple times if she was sure this was okay, that I did not want to be a disturbance to the routine. Angela simply waved me off.

Not too long later the room was filling with children. Some older and some younger. The ones under three went into the baby room, four and over went upstairs to the preschool. As more children came Ethan seemed to get more and more scared. Eventually when there were the full seven other children in the room, he was sitting next to me with a book in his face. Sarah was sitting next to him as well. I just smiled gently. Seems like he made a friend already even if at the moment he was ignoring her and trying to hide.

A little while later Angel clapped her hands. "Alright everyone! Its circle time!" The kids quickly walked to the rug and Sarah stood holding her hand out to Ethan. "come on it is circle time! We sing…and…read and…come on!" She tugged his hand gently before Ethan looked at me. "Go ahead I am right here." He nodded slowly before following Sarah to the rug. He turned his head as he was led away, biting his lip nervously.

"Mommy! Can Ethan sit next to me?" She asked sweetly and Angela nodded. "if he wants too." She said nodding for them to sit down. Ethan did, keeping a close eye on me, not looking at the other children. Occasionally her eyes moved to Angela and then to Sarah but always returned to me.

Miss Angela said good morning to all the children and then to Ethan before they started singing some songs and going on the month, the day the year and tons of other stuff. I was not paying attention I was watching Ethan.

After circle time she said they could play and they would make a project too. Ethan made his way over to me again, not moving from my side. When Angela called him and Sarah for project he went with some reassurance. Hopefully it got better. At least he was not crying. Nervous but he was participating.

The day went by quickly and at nap time he fell asleep quickly, but after nap time was the hard part. After nap time was when I was supposed to leave for an hour or two and come back. Nap time lasted until two-thirty. Normally I would be here to pick him up my three or four. I sat down with Angel and told her my fears about Ethan and she nodded in understanding

"It will be alright. Even kids with out his extra worries are scared when there parents leave them…especially the first time but eventually they get used to it and calm down. It is good your starting now before you start working…in case he needs you to come back sooner. However I am confident he will be okay" I nodded a little. "Yeah I suppose." I whispered softly. She spent the rest of nap time telling me about Sarah and Ben and how everything had happened after we left high school.

It was a nice conversation but it could not last forever.

The kids were woken up soon after and when Ethan was up and had gone to the bathroom it was time to say good bye. I took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Ethan. Angel had the kids on the rug.

"Remember what Miss Zafrina said? That I would have to leave for a little while?" he nodded a little his eyes wide. He knew what was coming he was smart. "I am going to leave but I will come back very soon okay? You are going to stay here and play with Sarah and the other kids and read stories with Miss Angela." I said stroking his cheek gently.

"N-No M-Miss Bella…stay…pwease…I be good…" he said rubbing his eyes that were tearing up.

I got out a pieice of paper and wrote down 4:00 on it. Then snapped a digital watch on his hand. "When this…says that I will be here to get you. I promise. You're a very good boy and I will be back." I kissed his head. "Love you Ethan, see you soon." I stood slowly and walked out the door and it took everything I had not to turn around and hold him until he stopped crying, but it would be harder for us both if I lingered. I took a deep breath and left.

The last thing I heard broke my heart! "MISS BELLA! NO LEAVE ME!" He screamed rather loudly as he cried. I stood near the window. I could see him but he could not see me. Angela walked over to him and picked him up holding him as she went back to the rug and set him down, still crying, but she gently rubbed his head and spoke to him. Then I seen him tell her something and she sighed before going to sit down leaving him alone.

Even Sarah came over and hugged him.

I left before seeing any more. I did not want to see him cry anymore. I knew he would be okay but it was still difficult to talk away while he cried.

Ethan's POV

Miss Bella left.
Why was she leaving.

I was a good boy.

I was nice.

I tried to make her happy.

Does she not want me any more?

My teacher Miss Angela picked me up and held me.

I leaned against her and cried.

I did not want to cry.

I waned to be a big boy.

I wanted Miss Bella…She was nice.

She didn't hurt me.

Even though I didn't want to cry the tears kept on falling.

Miss Angela set me down on the rug and rubbed my hair.

I did not like people touching my hair.

I did not want her to touch me anymore so I told her so.

"S-Stop… I moved toward the corner of the rug so she could not reach me. "Miss Bella will be back soon." She said simply before sitting down to read to everyone. I was not paying attention even though I loved listening to and reading books.

As Miss Angela stared to read I looked up, my eyes still full of tears as Sarah came over and hugged me.

"You mommy be back soon!" She said softly.

I shook my head. "N-Not M-Mommy…Miss Bella." I said rubbing my eyes as I wrapped my arms around Sarah as well. She was nice to me too.

"Where is your mommy? Where do you live?" She whispered to me.

"Mommy bad… wit unkie Emmy and Miss Bella" I answered rubbing my eyes as more tears fell.

"Miss Ella come back then…she love you!" Sarah said as she held me tighter.

"S-She said w-when tis…says tis." I pointed to the thing on my wrist and then to the number she wrote on the paper. "She come back. I pointed again rubbing my eyes.

Sarah nodded and smiled. "okay! Lets pway okay?" She said smiling holding her hand out. 'We can hear storie!" She smiled softly. She moved her hand to rub my tears away. "We get snack too! Come on lets pway!" She tugged my hand again. I slowly nodded and went to sit with her on the rug to listen to the story, still holding onto Sarah's hand, and rubbing my eyes with the other as a few more tears continued to fall.

I was still scared Miss Bella was not coming back…but she said she was, so maybe she would. I sat as close to Sarah as I could while the story was being read. After story time was snack time. Again I sat next to Sarah as we ate or animal crackers and drank our milk.

After snack time was play time. Me and Sarah sat at the drawing table and started to draw.

"Etan! You make picture for Miss Ella and I make picture for mommy!" Sarah said grinning widely.

I smiled as well and nodded. "Awight!" I took out the purple crayon and started drawing the big white house and then drew Miss Bella, Unkie Emmy, Unkie Jazzy, Auntie Alice, Madeline, Mariah, and Cody and then me.

I giggled coloring the picture smiling.

I hope Miss Bella likes it!

Bella POV

I only left the day care to walk home to get the car, it had gotten pretty cold out so I did not want Ethan to get sick. Once I was in the parking lot I stayed there not wanting to go too far since I worried about Ethan. Yes I was very paranoid. I turned on some music and closed my eyes listening to it.

When it was finally 3:59 I stood and walked back to the day care gently knocking on the door. Angela came over and let me in putting a finger to her lips indicating I should be quiet. I nodded slowly walking inside and looked around for Ethan. He was here at the table coloring with Sarah. I smiled and sat down with Angel at one of the table and helped her and the kids make a big puzzle. Just until Ethan noticed I was here.

"How was he?" I asked quietly.

"He cried for nearly an hour, a little less. Sarah calmed him down eventually. He was playing and eating snack but he was still crying a bit until a little while ago.I would of but he got upset with me and wanted to be left alone. Usually if you leave a child alone they calm down more. Attention makes them cry more…he was okay after that though. He did not really talk to anyone, only Sarah. " She said then grinned.

"Mike Newton over there was trying to bother Sarah a few times but she took care of herself." I gasped softly. "Mike Newton? Mike Newton's son!" I gasped softly.

"Since when did he marry and have a kid." I muttered. She laughed a bit. "Remember Jessica? The twenty year old that worked in the supermarket when you were a junior?" I nodded. "Well that's his wife…and this is his son. Acts just like him. You know how he chased you constantly no matter what you said?" I nodded. "Well…he does the same thing to Sarah."

I could not help but laugh at this. Oh that was priceless. "I feel bad for Sarah then." I grinned and she nodded sadly.

I looked over to Ethan before looking back down.

"Etan! Miss Ella is here!" Sarah said and Ethan turned his head and looked at me before looking at his drawing and doing something before coming over to me. He nibbled on his lip before wrapping his arms around me.

"I miss you Miss Bella." he said holding me tighter. I smiled picking him up. "Hi Ethan. I missed you too!" He smiled and hugged me too. "I thought you not come back!" He said rubbing his eyes hard. I nodded. "I know baby, I am sorry but I will always come back and always find you…I promise." I kissed his head setting him down.

"I make you picture." He thrust a piece of paper at me. It was scribbles but I got the idea. "What is it baby."

He explained who everyone was and pointed them out and I smiled hugging him. "its very nice Ethan." I said nodding once. "Can we hang it up on the fridge when we get home?" he nodded again and I kissed his head. "you ready to head home Ethan?" I asked and he smiled nodding excitedly.. "Yes Miss Bella!"

"go get your jacket from your cubby okay?" He nodded going to find his stuff quickly.

Sarah went over to him and I walked over to say good bye to Angela.

Ethan's POV

Miss Bella liked my picture!

We were going to hang it on the fridge.

I looked around not remembering where my cubby was.

"Over here Etan!"

Oh! It was Sarah. I walked over.

"Tank you." I said getting my jacket trying to get it on. Sarah helped again, smiling.

Then Sarah looked down her cheeks a little red.

"You come back?" she asked and I thought a moment.

"I tink so…"

"YAY." She said coming closer and hugged me.

"Bye Bye Sarah." I waved and she leaned forward kissing my cheek.

"Bye Bye Etan!" She then ran off to her mommy.

I went back to Miss Bella.

Bella's POV

I watched the kids interaction and both me and Angel giggled.

"That was so cute!" I said quietly hugging her before taking Ethan's hand. "Say bye to Miss Angela." I said to Ethan gently.

"Bye Bye Miss Angela….." He stared then looked at Sarah. "Bye Bye Sarah…" His cheeks got a little red and I giggled walking out the door.

"So Ethan…how is day care?"I asked and he smiled a little. "Fun..' He said softly.

"Hmm? How about Sarah? You like Sarah?"

"N-No…" He stuttered and he probably did not understand why, but his face was slightly red. "I mean, yeah…she nice." He said playing with his hair quietly.

"You want to go back tomorrow?" I asked cautiously as I strapped him into the car seat.

"You be there…?" He asked quietly.

I nodded. "Until after nap time. Like today okay? Sarah will be with you okay?" He nodded slowly nibbling his lip softly.

Well at least it wasn't a no!

And that was how day care went for the next few days. I would leave earlier and earlier and each time he would cry.

Day Care day 5

Today I was leaving before nap time.

I hope he can get to sleep with out me.

I was leaving right before lunch. Hopefully he would be distracted by the lunch he would not notice me slip out. Angela said it would be a good method. Hopefully he would be okay. He understood I would come back but I was afraid to leave with out him knowing. He might think I abandoned him.

Sighing softly I headed into the day care. Ethan was excited to go now, he liked seeing Sarah and the other kids but mostly Sarah.

I think this is what they call puppy love. They hugged in the morning and Sarah kissed Ethan's cheek before we left in the afternoon.

It was adorable. Angela snapped a few pictures and promised me some copies when she got them off her camera.

I brought Ethan inside and he hung up his coat and went to Sarah and the toy cars. The morning passed as normal, Ethan sticking close. Then it was lunch time. I did not bring lunch so than was eating the lunch at the school. It was pizza day. Ethan's favorite. All the kids were sitting down watching a movie. Angela came over. "You should leave now…he is distracted. Lunch is coming soon. Just go home. He will be fine.

"Alright, I guess I will set up my class room…call me if he needs me or something." I said softly. I walked over to him and kissed his head. "I will be back Ethan see you soon okay?" I got a small nod from him. He was very distracted. I quickly slipped out the door. Feeling extremely guilty.

Ethan's POV

Day care was fun today. We were going to have some pizza and we were watching a movie. It was Barney! Barney was cool. He's this big purple dinosaur that liked to sing and dance, and it seemed like fun.

When the movie was over I looked around for Miss Bella but I did not see her.

Did she leave me here? Alone. As tears filled my eyes I felt Sarah take my hand. "Why sad?"

"Miss…Bella. Is gone." I whispered looking around, running my fingers through my hair a few times, looking around.

"She be back! Member?" Sarah said hugging me. "Lets have pizza kay?" She said bringing me to the table. I followed rubbing my eyes. When we walked my Miss Angela I looked up at her. "Miss Bella come back?" She nodded kneeling down.

"Of course Ethan. She has some work to do. She will be back when your clock says the number four again okay? After nap and snack time." I nodded before whining slightly as I sat down. Sarah poked my arm and I looked at her quietly. "Pizza time Etan! You have to be happy for pizza! Pwease!" She smiled widely and I nodded.

"Pizza is good…" I said looking at the food as it was brought out. I picked at it before finally eating.

Yes Pizza was very good.

After lunch was nap time.

My cot was right near Sarah. I laid down holding the teddy bear Unkie Emmy gave me and my Spiderman blanket on me. I laid there watching Sarah nervously. I wanted Miss Bella. I always had bad dreams when I was asleep. I did not like them. I put my head on my pillow and closed my eyes when Sarah did. Soon enough everything went dark and I fell asleep.

When I woke up I was crying for Miss Bella but again Sarah helped me and we started playing together after listening to a story.

Just as Miss Bella promised she came back when my clock had a number four on it.

Day Care Day 10

Bella POV

Today would be the real test. I was not staying. I was going right home. Emmett had driven me and Ethan, knowing I would not want to leave.

"Okay Ethan come on." I said bringing him into the day care. He walked over to Miss Angela and gave her a little hug.

I smiled. He was doing so much better. Angela said he did not cry after nap time any more and only a little while after I left. I had only said an hour and a half the day before. So it was not too big of a shock for me to leave right away today...however I knew it would be enough to make him be at least a little upset. Once inside I knelt down kissing Ethan's head.

"I am going to go home now okay? Your going to stay here and play with everyone okay?" I said touching Ethan's face as his eyes welled up.

"You…c-come back…4 right?" he said stepping closer to me and wrapping his arms around me and hugged me. "Pwomise?" He said quietly. I nodded kissing his head.

"I promise Ethan. I will come back at 4 I promise. You going to be a big boy?" He nodded but cried into my chest anyway. I used the big boy card allot because he wanted to be like everyone else. It was okay that it would take him time, but he always liked being called a big boy when he did something that was hard for him. "Stay? Pwease?" He tried knowing my answer had to be no.

"I will come back Ethan, I promise…look Sarah is waiting near your cubby, go play and make me a nice picture we can hang on the fridge okay?" He nodded slowly.

"Alwight…" He slowly walked to Sarah rubbing his wet eyes. Not throwing the major melt down I had been dreading happening today. Taking a deep breath I watched as he reached Sarah. I said a quick goodbye to Angela and left quickly after. Emmett driving me home without question, knowing it was hard on me as well.

I went over to Alice and Jasper's house to help Alice with the triplets before picking Ethan up from day care. I started work tomorrow and could not wait.

"How was school Ethan?" I asked ruffling his hair gently.. Ethan's face still red from Sarah's kiss to his cheek.

"Good.." He said as he was strapped into his car seat.

"Hmm…whats wrong Ethan?" I asked softly.

"Mommy…gone wight?" I nodded. "She will never hurt you again, she is gone."

"Ames is gone?" I nodded.

"Are you…my new mommy?" He asked and I stared at him,my eyes wide, surprised he brought tis up. He continued though. "Sarah…say,you my mommy…you act like a mommy…" His voice was soft and shy.

"Do you want me to be your mommy?" I asked softly and he nodded.

"A nice mommy…no mean…" Ethan added quickly looking up into my eyes.

"A nice mommy." Ethan said looking into my eyes. All he had ever known was a mean mother and I planned to change that.

"Can I…call you mommy?" He asked looking down.

"Yes Ethan…I love you buddy."

His smile was worth the last couple of months.

"Love you…nice mommy." Ethan said happily as he hugged me tightly and kissed my cheek.

He was going to be my son.
