CHAPTER 8: The Lock Down
Tohmaz's and Alhi's 9th b'day
"Mum wake up wake up!!" screamed Tohmaz "please mum c'mon I want my presents!!" chimed in Alhi "okay, okay give Mum a minute and you'll get your presents" I groaned.
I was flipping pancakes when Alice strode in holding her son Thom's hand and cradling her 8 month pregnant stomach Jasper walked in after her, Tohmaz and Alhi ran up to Thom started talking gibberish and ran outside I stared after them wondering where my little babes went "Happy 25th birthday Bella" said Alice hugging me "wow Alice if you get any bigger you might explode! When are you due?" I asked, she turned to Jasper "when am I due?" jasper answered immediately "October 12th" she smiled and turned to me "ooh are those pancakes I'll have one!" she exclaimed settling down on my couch ring ring ring "oh just let me get that" Alice said flipping her phone open "hello? …. What! Why … but Bella...and... TODAY!?!?" she shrieked "good-bye" she turned to jasper and he whispered "today? Gosh that gives up about one hour to tell her and calm her down". "Bella can you come with me please?" said Alice gesturing with her hands to go up stairs I just trudged up to my bedroom and swung around to face Alice. She sat down on the bed and patted the space next to her, after I sat down she took my hands and said "Bella please don't have a fit but Edward and Tanya are moving to forks…..today, with their daughter Elizabeth" I felt like the earth had dropped but I also felt the soaring high in my heart.
I ran down the stairs and went outside and hugged both my kids saying "you don't need a father" "UGH mum please don't hug me it's so ... uncool" said Tohmaz but Alhi hugged me back and said "mum you always say that! And you never really told us about dad…." I just shook my head and said "you don't need to hear that yet". After Alice and Jasper left (with Tohmaz to have a play) I made Alhi a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and sat down reading Romeo and Juliet for some reason I always get het up about this book because seriously! If William Shakespeare wanted to make it as real as life it self then Romeo should have run off with Rosaline after a month leaving Juliet brokenhearted and maybe pregnant… true life you don't fall In love and stay together forever… or in this case kill ones self for true love "gah true love.. No such things" I grumbled frowning at the book I hadn't seen Alhi walk up and watch me she sighed and said "mum don't read that… you know how annoyed you get and on your birthday….." I put down the book and gazed at her I sighed and patted next to me "I think it's time you learn about your dad…" she enthusiastically jumped next to me "well he left me when I was 16 and I found out I was pregnant with you two…" I said visioning it as if I was there right now "and the first time I saw him was when I was 6 months pregnant at his and his new girlfriends wedding…" I flinched remembering the real meaning behind his words but continued "then…. Only Alice knows this but he pays me $500 every month to stay away from him and I put it into your account and to pay the bills and things like that, I know you'll probably hate me for taking money to keep him away from you two but in a way it means he has an impact on your lives at least…" Alhi seemed deep in thought "I can see why you took the money and I'm not mad mum but… why did you decide to tell me now??" she finally said I whispered "their moving back here today with his wife and step daughter Elizabeth…".
3 hours later
I decided to take a walk outside to get a breath of fresh air and walked down the street to where I worked... me and Alice own a little boutique down the street and we make all the clothes ourselves but today Alice was on maternity leave and I took the day off for my birthday, we had a young girl working in there called Clair who was really nice. Once I reached my destination I turned to go to the grocery store to buy some milk, bread and other essentials.
I grabbed a basket and strolled the aisle, when I had everything I needed I turned to go down the chocolate aisle to get some comfort food when a too familiar velvet voice chuckled and said " my, my you haven't changed one bit Miss Swan" I slowly rotated to face Edward Cullen I stiffly nodded and said "Edward it was such a pleasure seeing you but I have to get back to my daughter…" but before I could even take a step he said "no don't go it's pouring outside and I noticed you walked please let me give you a lift…" I nodded trying not to have an improper vision that involved me and Edward and a car… but failing. When I gave him directions to my new house and he'd found it as I was getting out he said "well I guess I should go…" I knew that tone "fine, come in Edward" he chuckled lightly and walked in I did a double take as I got in when Alice rushed forward as said "Bella I have to warn you Ed…" just then she noticed him standing behind me and said "Whoa??" I just commanded them up to my room away from the children watching with wide eyes. When we got to my room Alice turned to Edward and said "Why'd you come back? You're hurting everyone around you!" Edward seemed shocked and whispered "what'd I do? So what I married Tanya and you don't like her doesn't mean you should stop talking to me altogether!" I just silently pointed to the note restapled to my wall which said
Bella,
I thought I told you to stay away is that such an impossible task to do?
I will send you $500 a month if you stay away from us, you distressed Tanya my dear Tanya much and I don't want that to come over her again for the sake of our children and tell Alice to stay out of sight out of mind same with my other family tell them I don't want anything to do with them.
From Edward
He walked forward and read it with a disgusted look on his face "I never sent this I wouldn't…" I snapped at him "then who did your subconscious?" I got my other letter from Edward which told me that he doesn't love me anymore and he said "No Bella I still loved you I was gonna come back but then I got that letter from you telling me that you never wanted to see me again I still love you…" I shook my head wow he was a good liar and said "Edward you've tormented me enough and I never sent you a letter not once please just go please just get out" my voice going up an octave. After he left I crumpled up on my bed to cry how dare he say he loved me! It was not true! And what letter? Alice just sat with me rubbing my back and shushing my sobs like I was a little girl until my kids came upstairs and sat with me telling me it was okay that they were there for me I just cried harder because I was a lousy mum and they deserved better! "Bella I think I'll take the kids to my house for tonight, you have a lot to think about… is that ok?" I nodded that was good Alice could take care of them better than I can she got up and took their hands "c'mon kids mummy needs some time to herself your coming to Aunty Alice's house ok!" "yayyy" Alhi and Tohmaz chorused.
10:00 pm
I knew what I had to do so I called Alice "hi Alice I know this is strange but can I please have directions to Edwards house? Yes yes I know I'll call you tomorrow okay thanks bye" I ran outside to my car still in my p.j's with mascara running down my face from before, I looked a mess but I didn't care I drove all the way to Edwards house and sat out the front in my car for 10 minutes until I took a deep breath and went and knocked on his door he answered with a confused expression on his face then he smiled and let me in. I stood pacing in his lounge room until I finally asked "where's Tanya and Elizabeth?" "Oh Tanya took Elizabeth to see her grandparents so I stayed here" he answered I just mumbled "mm huh" and continued "I don't know how to phrase this Edward but…" I had turned away from him now I faced him he was closer than I thought and smiling my favorite crooked smile I lost all track of thought and flung my arms around his neck and kissed him with my mind screaming that this was insanity! But I just ignored my brain once again stupidly and kept on kissing him surprisingly he kissed me back swinging my legs around his waist and climbing the stairs and laying me down on his bed still kissing me….not even stopping to think at all.
