MPOV
The kids and I were planning on having a good day. Adrian was off doing work out of state. We hardly ever got to spend anytime having any fun so I decided to make this a fun day. We went to the movies and then to the park. Jillian started to get tired so I dropped her off at Carley's house. Over the past year Carley had been my only true friend. She was the only one that knew about Jeremy and the way Adrian treated me and the kids. Once Jillian was dropped off David suggested we go to McDonald's. Yes the kids were all half- vampire and half-human but they seemed to favor human food over blood. I had no problem with that once so ever. I'd rather them eat real food other then drink from animals or worse, humans. When we got there David saw someone from school in the play area. He ran off to say Hi while Karen and I ordered our food.
Mom, she knows Jeremy!" Karen said excitedly while we were talking our food over to a table in the back.
"Who are you talking about?" I asked my five year old looking daughter.
My kids were different then Nessie. Some days Karen and David would look five then others they'd look twelve. You could never know what age they'd look. There minds on the other hand were like those of an on the other hand she was more human then vampire. Her mind was that of a 14 year old. And her body was about age seven most of the time. Sometimes she'd be five but she mainly stayed at seven. I turned and saw Alice walk in the door.
"Shoot! Karen go play with your brother." I told her not wanting Alice to find out about Karen, David and Jillian.
Karen stood her ground. "No. I want to meet this Alice girl." I was about to tell her again but Alice had already spotted us.
"Melissa. Long time no see." Alice said giving me a hug.
"Yeah over a year. How you been?" I asked hugging her back.
"Just fine. Nothing really new ever happens anymore."
There was this weird silence then Alice noticed Karen.
"And who are you, cutie?" Alice asked picking Karen up in to her arms.
"I'm Karen. Nice to meet you, Alice." Karen greeted her with a grin.
Alice smiled. "Why don't we sit down and talk."
We talked. I never once mentioned that Jeremy was Karen's father. I didn't say anything about Adrian either. And I left out the new fact about me. Alice sat with us as we ate. Karen was extinct at the fact that she met someone that knew her father. David wasn't that happy. If given the choose David would pick Adrian over Jeremy. No he didn't like the way Adrian treated his sisters and me but still he had something against Jeremy that was unknown to me. Karen always told him he shouldn't judge their father if he didn't know him. After he ate David went right back to the play area. He must have really not wanted to talk with Alice any longer. Karen was like twenty questions though. She just kept asking Alice question after question. Alice didn't seem to mind much and answered them all.
I went to throw our trash away. When I came back I found the last person I wanted to see talking to my daughter.
"Pretty isn't she?" Alice asked motioning for Jeremy to come closer.
"Yeah, she is. What's your name, sweetheart?" He asked. Karen smiled at him.
"Karen." I answered.
Jeremy spin around and we came face to face. Now what was I going to do? Karen would want to talk to him. David wants to kill him. Adrian is going to totally flip when he finds out we ran into Jeremy.
I...I wanted to kiss him.
Tell him how much I loved him and how bad I missed being with him.
As much as I wanted that I couldn't tell him that. I had to think about the kids and how it would put them in danger if I told Jeremy any thing. So I wouldn't risking saying something I had to act hateful. I had to act as if I didn't love him anymore and that I couldn't stand him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to sound as harsh as I could.
"I-I-I...see...um...uh." Was all that he could mange.
Why was he stuttering? Was he that nervous? I rolled my eyes and pushed past him. When I brushed against him, I almost lost my nerve then but knew I had to hold it together.
"Karen why don't you go play with your brother."
When I said the word 'brother' Jeremy's face took on a look of total surprise.
Karen's smile disappeared. "No, I want to talk to---." I cut her off before she could say the 'Dad' word.
"Go. Now." My eyes did all the talking as my voice stayed calm.
After giving Alice a hug Karen walked by Jeremy. She looked as if she wanted to say something.
Don't you even think about talking to him! I yelled at her from my mind.
Karen had gotten her fathers powers. The twist was that she could read minds when ghost were around.
"Why don't we sit down?" Alice suggested for the second time that day. We sat at the table the kids and I had just ate at.
"Can you talk now? Or are you still stuttering like complete moron?" I asked my voice filled with hate.
"I...I can talk now." Jeremy's voice shook but at least he got that much out.
"What are you doing here?" I repeated my earlier question.
"I was looking for you." Why did he have to come looking for me? Things would have been better if he would have just stayed away.
"Looking for me? What the heck would you do that?!"
"I wanted to know why you left me. And what I had done...to make you leave me."
I was quite for a moment. What was I suppose to say? I tried to get my thoughts sorted out but that was a lost cause.
"I didn't leave...fully because of you. It was mostly my...." I didn't even know what I was saying. Just whatever came to mind, came out. That was dangerous. I couldn't risk saying something. I had to leave. I brought my lip inside my mouth and bite down on it as hard as I could. Biting my lip was just something I picked up. It stopped me from crying most of the time. I wanted to cry most days but thought better of it. I couldn't show my weakness. I had to stay strong. That meant being strong now more then ever.
With out warning I jumped up from the table.
"Mel, where are you going?" Jeremy asked.
I gave him no answer.
"Melissa! please wait!" Jeremy said following me to the play area.
"Karen, David lets go." I said stepping in the play area.
Karen and David came right to me. Karen smiled at her father. While David gave him a death glare. Jeremy followed us out, begging me not to leave. When the kids were in the car I started to get in when Jeremy grabbed my arm.
"We need to talk. I have to get some answers. Please Mel."
I wanted to say "I love you Jeremy! These are your kids. I never want be with any one else. Please forgive me for leaving you!" And throw my arms around his neck. Kiss him until I couldn't breath.
I couldn't do that though. I had to get him to leave me alone. So I lied and pretended to get really upset with him.
"Don't you ever touch me! I don't need to tell you anything! You want answers? Well I want a normal life! And look what I have now! Three kids and soon to be a 'super abnormal' life! Once the Volutri catch up with me! Guess we don't always get what we want!" I shouted at him.
When I should have said "Never take your hands off me! I have so much I need to tell you! I'll give you answers, and I want my life to be lived with you next to me! Look we have three wonderful children! And I'll become a vampire if it means I can be with you! I don't need everything I want as long as I have you and our children!"
Of course what I said was better for everyone.
I wrenched my arm from his grip and got in my car. I hit 60 miles an hour in under two seconds.
