Now lets get started!
REVIEW! And
Enjoy!
Chapter 19
Sheen's POV
How could this be? My parents were dead. My father died when I was young. My mother died 2 months ago. And yet here they are. Sitting on the couch acting as nothing happened, chatting away like nothing happened. "What the heck is happening?" I asked myself. My mother gazed at me with her brown eyes.
"A lot we need to explain."
"Yeah a lot! How can dad be here he was dead! And you…I saw Ken bash you with a bat!? How!?"
My father frowned, got up and sat me down. Natalie was standing right beside the chair I was in. "Now son we will explain. After some dinner."
"Dinner?"
"I can make us something sweetie!" My mom cheerfully offered. On her way out to enter the kitchen with my dad I found my voice again, it was loud enough for them to hear. I stood up as they slowly turned to me.
"How the hell are you two alive?"
My father looked at my mother than sighed. My mother sat back down with my father in silence. It was a while before they spoke. My father broke the silence by announcing. "Son….you are a hybrid."
Giving him a questioning look made him silent long enough for me to get irritated. "What the hell is that?"
"it's a mixture of creatures." my mother said.
"Such as vampires"
"Or werewolves." my mother offered.
"Maybe even other creatures." My father added. Looking over at Natalie I saw her expression was mixed with doubts and confusion. "So what are you telling us?" She asked.
"Get to the point." I growled. That earned me a grip from Natalie. Which was tight enough to make anybody hurt. Looking down at her I saw she was starring at me with warning eyes. I looked back at my parents and smiled. "Please." I added. The relief of Natalie's grip leaving me was washing over me. Made me cup my arm.
"Sheen….your mother is a vampire and I am a were wolf. You are our son you do the math now."
I shook my head. "How can this be? I mean Pippy and Tippy aren't-"
"They weren't blood line related sweetie."
"You mean they were adopted."
My parents nodded. "We adopted Pippy when she was 2. Than we had you."
"Then we wanted another baby so we adopted Tippy."
"Do they know?" I asked. Feeling a wound in my heart. My throat felt dry. I was shaking all over. This was to much.
"They did. About everything."
"So you told them but not me!? The one who is a hybrid whatever!?" I snapped. My dad wrapped his big hands around my shoulders. Looked into my eyes and frowned. A few years ago I would of killed to be this close to my father but right now I wanted to hit him.
"Son you must understand-" he started off but ended up being shoved back onto the couch by me.
"I understand perfectly. I have two lying dead parents." I said in a low dark voice. My mother frowned.
"We only did it to protect you baby so you could have a normal life." She reached out to grab my face as she did when I was a small child but right now I didn't want to be touched so I backed away quickly. Pain showed on her face.
"I cant do this…." I managed saying before running out. Leaving everything.
Even Natalie.
Natalie's POV
It was around twilight when I found Sheen. I should of known he would be sitting on a picnic table at the skate park. He was sitting on the table part. His feet rested against the seat part. His elbows on his knees, his head hung down as if he was sleeping. He wasn't. when I came up to him his head lifted. "What do you want?"
I laid my hands on my hips. "Well how rude. I was merely checking on you. Seeing if you didn't explode yet."
He made a little laugh. Progress I say that's for sure. "Come on Sheen why not we go back and talk with your parents."
"Those people? No thanks."
I tried to make my way into his arms but failed since he pushed me back. "Don't. im not in the mood okay. I don't want to be touched. Hugged or kissed. Okay I need my time."
That kinda got me mad. I mean every time when I was irritated or sad I let him touch me. Hug me. Kiss me. Guess he obviously doesn't feel like he could do the same. With that in mind I saw far away from him on the table part. I watched the skaters do their turns and twists. Watched them fly up and dive down. When night fall finally came I gazed over at him.
"So you coming or you want to be pissy?"
That earned me a mean look. "Natalie for the last freakin time I need my time…meaning alone….so it means go away."
As he turned back into his shell form I kept my eyes still on him. Furious as ever. I got to my feet. "Fine….dick." I muttered. When he shot to his feet he grabbed my arm it was so fast that it knocked the breath out of me. I grabbed my stake I always carry with me in my jeans and held the point above his chest. I glared at his red eyes. "You better let me go or I swear to god I will shove this stake into you. Im not kidding Sheen I will."
When he let go, a frown came upon him. "Next time check who your messing with me. Because im not somebody that you want to mess with Sheen. Your pissed I get it. But you start hitting me I'll leave you because unlike Diana or other girls I don't put up with that shit. So get an attitude check or get a new girlfriend." I stuck my stake back in my jeans and walked off. After the anger wore off I collapsed in an alley way. Hugging my legs sniffling. Thinking of how he grabbed my arm made my body react, me circling my hand around my now bruised up wrist. It was all okay till I heard a few guy voices coming from the street. Looking up from my lap I saw 3 tall men standing there. I couldn't see them that well either. Standing I slowly backed up as they walked closer. Reaching for my stake I spoke. "Stay away from me."
"Baby we don't want to hurt you. We just wanna make some fun happen tonight." one of the guys said. At this point my heart was pounding so hard that it might as well hop out and leave my body forever. Feeling a wall behind me made it worse.
"Don't come near me." I growled. I cant use my powers since I have so little now. And I didn't see anything to move or fly with. Crap. Getting out my stake I waved it in directions of the men. "Get away from me!"
I was doing good till the man nearest to me smacked the stake out of my hand, grabbed my hurt wrist and slammed me down to the ground which made me yelp when he grabbed my hurt wrist again. I was on my stomach and feeling hands all over me. Flash backs of Andrew came into play which got me sobbing like hell. Even screaming. I thought I was gonna be raped, hurt and beaten. It was all over for me. "Get the fuck away from my girl!" I heard someone shout. Looking up from the ground I saw Sheen standing in front of us, a bit good feet away.
"What are you gonna do little punk?" a guy who was surely on the right side of me holding me down said. I watched Sheen's eyes turn red, his fangs slowly coming out. God it was like watching a horror movie.
"Leave or ill kill you!"
When the guy on my left laughed and continued what he was doing before, which was pulling down my pants- Sheen growled. I gazed up at him with fear. Not fear of him but what he was about to do. Like I predicted Sheen slammed the man on my left away from me, hearing a thud sounded like he slammed the man against the wall. Then the second one was hit, and the last one just screamed and ran like a girl. Getting onto my feet I buckled my jeans back up, while doing that I watched Sheen pin up one of the guys to the wall. His fangs showed when he made a terrible hissing noise which made the guy scream. "Sheen don't!"
Catching him off guard I managed to knock him down to the ground. Sitting on him I looked over my shoulder to the guy who was just sitting there. "Go you buffoon!" with that dismissal he ran. I looked down at angry, fanged, red eye Sheen I cupped his face. "Sheen stop okay."
"Get off me. I need to kill."
"No! Sheen come back to me! Listen to my voice!"
It was no good. He was struggling to get me off of him but I didn't budge. I grabbed his face a kissed his lips hoping he would return to me. When I felt hands gently lay on my waist I risked leaving his lips. I saw his eyes were back to brown and the fangs were gone.
"Sheen?"
His eyes shifted from looking dazed to looking at me. When he sat up I slid onto his lap. Hugging his neck I gave a relief sigh. "Sheen your okay."
His arms wrapped around me for a little bit but let go. When I let go I saw he was baffled. When I grabbed onto his face his eyes widened when he saw 3 claw marks on my bloody arm. When he gasped I stared at them. Baffled as he was. I didn't even feel it.
"Natalie I hurt you-"
"You saved me you idiot! I could have been raped!" I breathlessly said. Looking up at him with a frown. "After what I said to you too…"
"You had every right. I was being mean. and you were being raped…well was about to be. If it wasn't for your screaming I wouldn't of came this way come on lets get you home." He easily scooped me up in his arms as if I was a feather. Holding onto his neck I gazed up at him.
"Sheen…."
"Yes?"
"For me….could you talk with your parents?"
He looked down at me. A small smiled grew on his face. "I will." He kissed my nose and walked with me in his arms.
Laying my head on his shoulder I felt better. Safe. Okay to sleep.
I always felt like that with Sheen.
Bailey's POV
Truth is I never wanted kids. They always made me feel uncomfortable. Before I met Scott I never thought about marriage or babies. Now look at me a ring on my finger and a pregnancy test that's positive in a hand. And here I was working. Maybe I can hide it just until I earn some cash. Scott needs me now than ever. A knock on the door made me jump, and drop the test in the pee filled toilet. Shit. "Yes!"
"Bailey dinners ready. I made your favorite!" Scott said through the door. It sounded like he was smiling.
"Ill be right there!" I replied, getting on my knees and plugging my nose as I dipped my hand in the warm water. Holding the urge to throw up I got the stick out and quickly washed my hand. Thinking he was gone I held the now washed test in my hands. Consumed in my thoughts glaring at the test as I sat on the toilet I didn't hear the door open. What got my attention was Scott.
"What's that?" He asked. Snapping my head up I got to my feet and quickly hid the test behind me.
"What's what?"
"That thing your holding."
I started to back away as he came closer to me. "Im not holding anything."
"Bailey Deans how long have I known you?"
When I hit my leg on the bath tub I felt gravity weighing end but luckily Scott caught me. He pulled me straight up and grabbed the test. "Scott don't!"
When I reached for it he held it up as he looked at it. "Stop it Scott!" I ordered. Holding me back he kept looking at it. Finally he gave it back as he kept his eyes on my tummy. As a reflex I hugged my tummy. "Could you stop looking?" His eyes set on my face, finally. With no words his hand rested on my tummy, he gazed back down to it. I guess you can say I had a baby bump, noticeable but not when baggy clothes on.
"Your…pregnant?"
I smacked his hand away when he lifted up my shirt to see more. "Yes im pregnant."
Scott stared at me for a really long time as if he was recalling something. "So that's why you been so moody. And your much more chubbier."
I glared at him. "Do you want a handprint on your face?" sighing I shoved him out of the way and plopped on the couch sinking into a depress feeling.
When I felt a hand touch my hip I turned my head to the side, once I did I saw Scott crouching down to my level.
"I want this baby."
He was mad! I mean we cant have a baby right now! We have to work, travel and be kids not parents!
"I…don't."
Scott frowned. "Why not?"
"Scott we are too young to be parents. We want to travel remember? We have jobs. Plus this place isn't big enough for 3 people to live in. and im not ready to be a mother. Im 18 I want to enjoy my life without a kid on my arm."
Scott gave me a hard cold stare. "If you didn't want a child then why did we have unprotected sex?"
"We were out of condoms, I thought I was on the pill but I wasn't. my bad."
He looked at me as if I was crazy. "No its not just my bad Bailey. that's a living being in your belly and I say it deserves to have his or her family!"
He sounded angry. Really angry.
"Well im sorry but I don't want a family right now. I just want to enjoy my life. Without a family."
That earned me the meanest look than possible. "So I guess our engagement is a lie then."
"What?"
"Well after we get married we will be considered family….husband and wife."
I frowned. "Scott you know what I mean."
"Fine. How are you going to get rid of the baby?" He asked. Looking away. I could tell he was really pissed.
"Well I don't know…abortion." I shrugged. Scott snapped his wide eyes in my direction.
"Like hell your killing my baby!" He growled.
"Um its in my body I can do whatever to it!" I snapped back, getting to my feet. Scott got to his when I started walking. Following me to the kitchen I watched him lean against the door way. His face red. I knew that face all to well. It doesn't get mad easy but when it does you run. But hell I was pissed too.
"Its not a it. it's a human being! Our child! You heartless woman!" He hissed. I stopped what I was doing which involved getting a dish out of the cabinet and stared at him. I couldn't believe my ears. He just called me heartless.
"Well our child will be conceived again in the late future." I said. Rolling my eyes.
"You know what? Your right. Your obviously to immature to even be a mother of my child. Just get out."
Staring baffled I felt pain inside my chest ache inside. "Scott you cant be serious?"
"Im dead serious. If your just gonna kill my first baby like she or he is nothing then I want nothing to do with you so get out. Leave. Go back home. I don't want to see you again."
"Your breaking up with me over a kid?"
His jaw tightened and it took a while for him to say what he did. " you really need to leave now, before I kick you out myself. That kid is mine so if you want to be a heartless mother fine. Kill it but I hope you know you'll still be a mother….of a dead baby."
With that said I closed the cabinet, slowly walked out of the kitchen, grabbed my clothes I brought over for tonight, packed them, grabbed whatever was mine than slowly walked towards the front door. I looked back to see Scott looking off with a pained look. "Scott…."
"Go Bailey…..just leave for good."
Tears came over me. "You know a real husband would support me. And maybe I don't know….talk with me instead of yell at me. Im sorry im such a lousy bitch." I opened the door, exited, than slammed the door. I only got to the stairs when I collapsed into my heap of sobs. Now what am I gonna do?
I sat on the steps till night fall crying. Soon a neighbor asked me what was wrong I had to lie and say I wasn't feeling well. Thank god she let me stay in her guest room. Now I don't have to face my family or friends about this whole damn mess.
I just wanted to waste my life away now…..because how can I live on when a part of me is gone?
Scott's POV
Been two weeks since me and Bailey broke up. A terrible week at that. I thought of nothing but the baby. The live creature that's probably dead now. Thanks to the carrier. I spent most of my days working, got another job finally and im having money. Finally. Trying to find a better place to live. A much family style. I may not have a family with Bailey but maybe another girl will come along. A knock on the door made me leave the couch, I been laying on all morning. Opening the door revealed a friend of mine for work who's been coming by everyday. She was pretty. Blond short hair, blue eyes. And she had cute freckles all over. "Hi!"
"Hey Penny." Letting her in I closed the door and took my place on the couch.
"So how do you feel today?"
I shrugged. "Okay…I guess."
She smiled. "Get dress. Im kidnapping you today."
I gave her a long questioning look. She rolled her eyes. "God Scott im not gonna rape you behind the alley so just go and get ready!"
Laughing I shook my head and got myself changed. when getting ready was done she took me the high school. And of all places it had to be the old music room, and of all people to be there was Bailey. When we entered Bailey snapped her head towards us along with Nat, Summer, Sheen, Racer, Sam and Diana.
"Whats he doing here?" Natalie glared, getting up to go to Bailey's side, but Sheen pulled her back down. When I looked at Bailey I saw her hair was a mess, and it looked like she's been in bed all this time. And just by looking at her pained face I knew what she was thinking. She thought me and Penny were together. Which why should I care or she care for that matter.
"We are here for Bailey Natalie so cool it." Summer jerked her head to Bailey. Bailey got up. And bit her lip. As she played with her hair I noticed that she still had the ring on that I gave her.
"What the heck is this Penny?" I gazed down at my friend. She had a big smile on her face.
"Im your girlfriend's friend too."
"Ex girlfriend." I stupidly said.
"Bailey what's wrong?" I heard Natalie ask. When looking I saw Bailey frowning. Her chin trembled and her breathing got more heavy.
"Excuse me." She managed to say in a hushed tone. She managed to get by me and Penny than closed the door. Feeling the glares boring into my back I gazed back at the friends who were coming up to us.
"Way to go dofus." Natalie growled.
"Its not my fault. I dumped her for a damn good reason. I wanted my baby but she didn't so end of that."
"You dumb ass. You should know my sister by now. She doesn't want to do anything at first but once you talk her into it then shes all for it. By the way she informed me….no cried to me you just yelled at her and called her names. Way to man up dick!" Sam snapped than left. Natalie followed. Summer shook her head and kept on. Racer just silently looked at me as he passed and Sheen wasn't even acknowledging me. Great.
Penny sighed. "Bailey's keeping the baby."
I looked at her. "What?"
"Bailey wanted me to bring you here so she could tell you that she will own up. She doesn't want to loose you and thought long and hard about it. She decided to be a mother of a live child….andshe thought the father should kno…but since you said she was your ex im guessing she's a single mother."
A single mother? Bailey? No. I frowned and sighed sinking into a nearby seat. "Im such a screw up…..damn it." I held my face. Feeling a hand on my shoulder I heard. "No you just got into a fight. Now you need to say sorry. So go on."
I stared up at Penny. "She wont forgive me. I don't expect her to….she wont even be with me. I mean I called her-"
"You two were and still are in a fight. So end this nonsense and apologize. So your child can have parents like you always wanted." Standing I smiled.
"Thanks Penny." I kissed her cheek than left without a second thought. When I finally found Bailey after what it felt like hours of searching I saw her on the curb of the street alone.
"Where are the others?" I asked, sitting beside her. She stayed silent for a bit before softly saying.
"I sent them off. I needed to cry alone."
Seeing her puffy face made me go back to the time where I assumed she cheated or she assumed I cheated. Now thinking on it…..how the hell did we manage all these freakin years without killing each other.
"Bailey-"
"Don't Scott. I get it. I was a total bitch. I wouldn't want to be with me if I was you anyways."
Frowning at that I spoke. "Penn told me about you keeping the baby."
"Well…after a week of thinking about the words you said…and realized I was being a cold heartless woman. I was thinking only of what I wanted….so now im a single mother."
Still frowning I asked. "Did…you tell your parents?"
"No. my brother only knows. He and I were going to tell them today….but instead of going to my mom and dad's workshop he brought me here."
"So this wasn't your idea?"
"Well meeting you here wasn't but I was going to tell you over the phone. I mean you can be in your baby's life…. Even if we arent together." her voice sounded faded. Like flat. nothing. It was really depressing.
After a few silent moments we both decided to break it by speaking at one time. Looking away from each other we kept the silence going until Bailey broke it. "Im sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"For…..being a disappointment." those words left her mouth like vomit. And those words made her break. Hugging her knees she barried her head in her lap, repeating im sorry lines over and over again. It killed me. Finally I laid my hand on her head, which made her lift her head up to look at me.
"You never were a disappointment. Stop crying please. And apologizing. don't do that. I should be doing that and I will…..im sorry Bailey"
"But you didn't-"
"I had fault in this argument too I freaked out on you. Let my anger get the best of me…..these two weeks have been hell without you. I wanted your kid so badly that I didn't think to consider who you felt….or support you in some sort."
She kept her eyes on me than turned away. "Do you think I could….um be your girlfriend again?"
"Nope." When she frowned, got up and nodded. I proceeded to get on my feet as she started walking away.
"Well ill keep you updated then." She said to me, looking over her shoulder. As she walked ahead I followed, getting in her way, making her stop in her tracks and held her hand in mine.
"You cant be my girlfriend anymore because well you're my fiancée. and my soon bride to be….as well my baby's mama."
She stared at me with confused eyes. "Wait…what?"
"Bailey….we had one stupid fight…..actually a lot of stupid fights but we've gotten through them haven't we?"
As she recalled she curled her lip. "Yeah….broke up. Got back together. Broke up. Got back together…..jesus we are like those high school drama couples."
I chuckled at that. "Well even so we still get back together right?"
"Sure but what if….next time we wont?"
"There will be no next times. Im done breaking up with you and being a stupid child like I once was. Im 19 darn it. And I been responsible enough to keep myself alive so why cant I keep one good relationship with a beautiful girl."
She blushed and looked around. "I don't see one."
"I do." I cupped her face and laid one right on her. Pulling back I saw she didn't see that coming. "Bailey….I love you. And my mother just knew you were the one for me."
"Why? How?"
"Well with all the shit I did in our past you still want to be mine….right?"
She nodded.
"So you're the one."
Bailey cured a small smile. "Can….you take me home…and maybe back to your place?"
"Wouldn't have it any other way Bai." Before we got the chance to leave Penny stopped us by getting in our way. With a smile she asked.
"So you two okay?"
Bailey nodded as she hugged my arm. Penny smiled bigger. "Do you need a ride Penn?"
"No thanks. My own husband to be is picking me up." She hugged Bailey than me and waved her good byes before disappearing from sight.
"Crying can really make you tired." Bailey yawned.
With a smile I held her hand. "Lets go get your things so you can be at my place again."
That we did. When we got to the apartment Bailey ran over to the couch and snuggled with a big blanket. I say its her favorite blanket. I think it is because I used to sleep with it. "Soooo do you want anything?" I asked as I sat her stuff on the side wall beside the door. Coming into the living room I saw her nod. "And what do you want?"
"You to hold me as we fall asleep…." That sounded doable as well as great. I took my shoes off and got under the covers with her. She was in a skirt and a baggy t-shirt that was mine. I carefully wrapped my arms around her, laid my head on the couch rest as I let her lay fully on top of me.
Finally after hours of her asleep, sleep came to capture me. Finally I can dream some good ones this time.
All the good dreams were about my future family….
Summer's POV
"You do know how to babysit right?" My aunt Maya asked. Uncle Bobby was just standing by Uncle Caleb and Aunt Melissa as they waited for Maya to give me lectures rules and a freaking parent crap I hear all the damn time. Turning seventeen last month didn't change anything. Im still treated as if I havent watched my brother and my little sister before.
"Yes Maya. I do have siblings. Could you guys leave already. You dropped of the kids so go and have fun."
Maya frowned. "Kyle gets lonely so don't neglect him okay and-" Before she could go on Bobby escorted her out. Caleb laughing said.
"Be safe. And we'll be back to pick up the children at 10."
"10? Tonight?"
"Yes is that a problem sweetie?" Melissa frowned. I smiled.
"No. go on."
"By girls you be good for Summer you hear!" Caleb looked past me and at his two girls. Rebecca and Julie. Rebecca was the eldest, she is about 7. Julie is about 5. They took a look at their parents, nodded and went back to playing with Autumn and Kyle who is now 3 years old. Kyle looked up to see his mama was gone, rushing past me screaming his little head off he collided with his mother. Her being so attached picked him up and held him.
"Bobby cant we bring him?"
Bobby sighed. He gradually pulled off Kyle and gave him to me. "Maya you cant keep giving in. he will need to grow up. Plus we have been waiting for ages to see this."
"I know. This match will be amazing!" Melissa exclaimed. Caleb looked at his watch before saying. "And if we don't get a move on we are gonna be late."
Maya frowning gave Kyle a kiss and said goodbye. After they left Kyle began screaming his lungs out. Sitting him down, covering my ears I went to the kitchen hoping to find something to shut him up. Thank god for a bottle that was left for Autumn. Once I gave it to him he popped it into his mouth and silence was finally restored. A few hours passed slowly. Winter came home, brought two of his friends over two. As the boss of the house I felt it was my job to remind him about house rules.
"Winter you know mom's rules. No friends here without their permission."
"What are you the rules police?" Winter scoffed. His little friends giggled as he did a mocking impersonation of me.
"Stop that Winter."
"Stop that winter." He mocked. Rolling my eyes I held the bridge of my nose. "Winter….I ask you nicely….go away. I have kids I got to watch so please make it easier on me and go." "No, its fun watching you freak out." When I was up to my boiling point a voice from behind made me turn. Seeing Racer coming up made my lips curve into a smile. "Oh great your pretty boy is here."
Racer stopped at my side with one brow lifted. "Did I miss anything."
"Yah Winter's friends leaving."
"That's not fair! You brought your stupid boyfriend over!" Winter whined.
"Unlike you I asked if he could help since I was taking care of so many people."
"Fine." He said. Turning around I heard him mutter a mean word under his breath as he walked off. His friends silently followed. Sighing I gave up with him than looked up at Racer.
"Hi sweetie."
Racer smiled, leaned in to kiss my lips, held up to go box. "I figured you wanted your favorite breakfast meal."
Raising my eyebrow as I took the to go box I joked. "What do you want?"
Smirking he chuckled. "Nothing. I just thought it would be nice since you are watching what 5 kids."
"Actually im watching 7. The twins are coming over to play with Autumn. Oh and Dylan."
"Wow. No wonder you asked me for help."
We kept talking until we heard a yell, and a scream from upstairs. Looking for the kids I saw Becca, Julie, and Kyle in the living room but no Autumn. Right when I turned to go towards the stairs I felt something solid hit hard on my thighs making me almost jerk forward. After getting my balance I gazed down to see my sister hugging onto my leg. Looking over my shoulder I signaled Racer to come over. He did. "Could you take this food to the kitchen? Please?"
Racer smiled. "Alright." He took it from my hands and left. Picking up Autumn, holding her as she sat on my side and hip I looked at her.
"What's the deal cheetah?"
She looked up at me with teary eyes. "I didn't mean too…"
"Autumn your dead." I heard a yell from the stairs. Watching my brother storm towards us made me wonder. Stopping him before he got to close to hurt Autumn I asked. "What in the world is going on here?"
"She got into my things again!" When he tried to hit her, Autumn screamed in fear and started crying.
"Winter get back upstairs damn it before I spank your 12 year old butt and trust me boy I will do it. I did it to you when you were 11 and enjoyed it. I can do it to you again!"
He attacked me with full on glares than slowly left. Sighing I tended to Autumn and soon she was all better. By nap time I was tuckered. Racer plopped on the couch beside me. With a smile. "So the kids are asleep."
"Yep."
"You know this sorta feels like playing house."
I raised a brow at him. "The hell?"
"Well think about it. Watching kids….just the two of us. I kinda feel like im a daddy…."
"You want to be a daddy to that?" I pointed at my brother, who was squirting juice into his mouth as he was walking into the living room. Racer laughed.
"Not really but even if my son is like that I'll love him."
I stared at him for a few moments before saying. "Well you do know…I want my kids around my late, middle twenties right? I will never be 16 and pregnant."
"Technically your 18."
Glaring at him made him make a scared face. "Okay okay. I gotcha. Besides I don't want kids now. I actually want to own my own store first."
"A store?"
"Yep. An auto store. You know like for bikes and what not."
Rolling my eyes I chuckled. "You and vehicles. I swear." He playfully elbowed my arm. "You and your books."
"What can I say…..im a bookworm."
He smiled. Leaned in close to my face. "You're my bookworm."
"Well of course dear sir. I shall never be anybodies but yours." I kissed his lips. We would of went further but since kids were here we had to keep it PG
Damn baby sitting.
Ben's POV
My wife has been working her ass off since the twins were born….she made a lot of sacrifices for this family. I had it easy. I went to school and graduated as well. Sam she had to drop out, even though she never wanted or intended to. She always told me that "the girls come first. Forever and always." I get that clearly but what about her? When can her dream of being a scientist start? I want my wife to graduate. Find her dream, have her dream like I have mine. Believe it or not I wanted to be a cop….and I am. Okay im a rookie but im doing what I love and getting paid. Watching Sam wash the dishes made me frown a little. I've known her since 6th grade. She can be a sour worm and very sensitive but she has always been the independent type. Seeing her be a maid, caretaker and a cook makes me hurt inside. Sure I go to work but I hardly ever help her out. Picking up a pan made her look up and smile. "Shouldn't you be in bed?" She asked.
"Cant sleep. Why are you still up? Do you know how late it is?" She took off the rubber gloves to check her watch and gasped.
"Oh wow. That late."
"Yep. How long have you actually been up?"
"Well I put the girls in bed around 8 so since 8:30." I widened my eyes at how much time she spent down here while I was up there sleeping….being lazy. Like always. God I feel like an ass now. "Baby have you been doing this all this time? Washing the dishes?"
"Actually no. I sort of had to do some laundry, clean our mess up we left from dinner, help your mom with your rambunctious brother and now Im finally doing dishes."
"At 1am?"
"Better now than later I say."
"Sam you really need to take time to be a teenager-" The way she narrowed her eyes at me kinda made me wish I said nothing.
"Ben….we have two daughters, hardly any money, still mooching off your parents. We been doing that since 15! 15! Do you know how long that is?"
"3 years." I miserably mumbled. I watched her lay down her gloves and fully turned to me. She gazed up at me.
"3 years is way too long. I know your doing the best and I love that you are unlike other guys….so im not gonna be useless. As a way to thank your parents I take care of the house and make sure everything is okay."
"You wont be useless if you go back to school." I offered.
She shook her head. "I cant I have to watch our kids why you go to work."
"But my parents can-""They have lives of their own Ben."
"My sister-"
"Has a very good clean teen life that I don't want her to deal with thanks like this."
She seemed really stressed even by talking about this subject. I grasped her shoulders. "How about you go to school when our little pre-schoolers' go."
Sunny and Rain were about to attend pre-school this year which is terrifying but exciting as well.
"I don't know Ben. School isn't my thing right now….I would like to mother more-"
"Who will you mother Sam? When school starts everyone in this house will be gone. What will you do?"
She shrugged. "Clean?"
"Wrong. Your going to school Sam."
She frowned. "Don't tell me what to do."
"Then don't put me in that position." I hissed. Before she could reply a noise made us turn towards the kitchen door. There were two little girls half sleepy who were in footie pajamas. Their hair a mess and eyes so sleepy.
"Mommy daddy are you two fighting?" Sunny asked. Rain clutched onto her sister's sleeve as she frowned. "We heard you from the living room. Daddy sounded pretty mad."
Looking at Sam who had a guilty look on her face made a small smile appear. "Daddy and I were just having a conversation sweeties go back to bed now okay. I check on you in a bit."
They both kept their stares on us for a little bit longer than Sunny grabbed Rain's hand and left, pulling her sister with her. Once the door flew closed I looked at Sam.
"I know you Sammy. You loved school. You hated yourself when you dropped out."
"I did it for my kids and you Ben-"
I cupped her face, got close to her face. "And now im doing this for you Samantha…..you gave me my dream now let me give you yours baby. Once the kids go to pre-school I want you to go back to the high school, finish your senior year and get your butt in a science major like you always talked about."
"Ben-" I laid my index finger on her lips to silent her. Looked into those brown eyes.
"This is one thing I beg of you…..go to school, graduate and get into college. Think of how much it will help us then. Two parents having stable jobs….just think about it baby." I skimmed her bottom lip with my thumb. Tipped her head up a little so her lips could meet mine.
We were interrupted by out kissing session by midgets who were supposed to be in bed. "Daddy that's gross!" Sunny giggled.
"Yeah gross!" Rain repeated.
I raised my eyebrow at them and gave them a look that my father once gave me when I was interrupting his time with my mother. Once that look appeared on my face their smiles turned off and they disappeared. Looking back at Sam I saw her grinning and all dazed. "Sam?"
She saw me looking at her and immediately shaped up. "Anyways what were we talking about?"
"School. For me. Go back."
Sam gave me a long look than nodded slowly. "Fine. For you. But just know I wont be happy about it."
"Please girl once your in that science class you'll thank me." I playfully rolled my eyes which made her giggle spontaneously.
"Your right. I probably would."
That night I took her to bed and slept with her in my arms. Feeling much better now.
Now that I know my wife can have more than what she gets.
Samantha's POV
"So Ben asked you to go back to school?" Anna astonished, said. I glanced over across the table at Ben as I picked at the food on my plate.
"Yes ma'am."
"I don't believe that. This is the boy who tried to skip in his freshman and sophomore years." Aiden chuckled. Ben gave him a playfully evil look.
"Thanks Dad! But just because I hated school doesn't mean she didn't. She loved every moment of it. She even tied my shoes together so I couldn't run away when she dragged me all the way to class."
"You brother are pathetic." Natalie sighed. "I actually thought you were cool back in those days…and now your telling stories like these? Makes my idol seem fake."
Ben stared at her as if he didn't care. He probably didn't either. "Im sorry to burst your idolizing fake bubble? Anyways I just thought since I got my career going….Sam deserves a chance too."
"What if she actually wants to be a house wife?" Anna suggested. Ben made a unsure face like he didn't even consider that.
"She doesn't. Right Sammy? You always told me you didn't."
He was right. I never wanted to be a housewife. that's what made my mother insane. My mother was a full on house wife in the days where my parents were….well a bit nicer. They always treated me like dirt but it was when I was about 7 that physical stuff happened to me.
Bravely I admitted. "I never wanted to be a housewife actually."
Anna stared at me with a frown. "Why's that?"
"Yeah do tell!" Natalie chimed. Now that everyone was looking at me even my quiet well mannered daughters were I gulped.
"My mother was a house wife early in my life…..that's what made her go insane….being around me all the time made her turn into a not so nice person."
As silence spread through the air I felt hot, faint and weak. I hated talking about my parents because I end up having to be alone to cry. I got up quickly. "Im done." I lied, Ben knew that since he saw how much was on my plate but I didn't care. Before anyone could stop me I ran up to the shared bedroom. Closed the door and plopped myself on the bed. When I hit the pillow that's when the tears came out.
I guess I dozed off since I woke up to Ben hovering over me in his sweats and shirt that he wears to bed. Sitting up I asked. "How long was I asleep?"
"Five days."
Raising my brow got him serious. "Okay okay. Its only been a few hours. The family is asleep so I wanted to see if you were still awake…you can go back to sleep if you want."
I shook my head. "I really need to apologize for how ii left the dinner table tonight."
"No you don't. My mother understands what your going through."
I keep forgetting that Anna has already been through this. She must of felt what I had before. Looking at Ben who was now laying on his side of the bed I couldn't help but to smile.
"Thank you." I managed out.
"For what?"
"For being a great boyfriend, father, and husband."
He sat up, keeping his eyes on me. "Sammy-"
"I mean it Ben….if you would of left me after I told you that I was with child….I would of died by my parents hands. Our babies would have been killed as well."
A few silent minutes passed, Ben said nothing as he smiled. He kissed my head, laid me down and held me in his arms. Finally he said. "I would do anything for you Sammy. I love you."
Blushing I smiled. Kissed his neck, and snuggled closer to him. "I love you too Benito. I really do."
With one last yawn I closed my eyes and gave sleep permission to take me to dreamland.
How did I deserve this life?
Diana's POV
"Could you stop playing your video games now?" I asked Sammy. I was sitting on the bed in a blue summer dress, shoes on and hair up. We were supposed to be going out to eat before it got dark but it looks likes we arent since all day Sammy has been playing video games with his new best friend Joan which pisses me off. And its really irritating to be jealous over a guy who your boyfriend is hanging out with.
"Chill Marry we got 5 levels left." Joan said. Sam chuckled as he demolished a ship. Rolling my eyes I got up on my feet.
"The name is Diana! D-I-A-N-A you known me for a month now and you still cant remember my name…..your brain must be damaged."
Sammy paused the game, sighing. "Diana cant you see we are trying to play here."
That got me pissed off. I wasn't about to go into depression again like I did last time. "Cant you see your breaking our date?"
"You have all summer Gina." Joan laughed.
"Its Diana you buffoon."
"Diana." Sammy hissed. "Could you go now im trying to play."
I didn't cry. I didn't run. I marched right over to him, spun his chair and got into his face.
"Don't make me hurt you Samuel Deans. I swear to god I will. I have taken a lot from you but im not your booty call im your fucking girlfriend. If you want to be a little boy and play games and sit on your ass all the time fine. Go but know this….you wont have a girlfriend while doing it." I pushed back from the chair, glared at Joan. "Don't mess with me you stupid man!" I said when he was about to say something. After that was said he quickly zipped it. I got to the door swung it open and slammed it hard.
As I packed I heard some foot steps behind me. Turning I saw Sam staring at me. "What are you doing."
"Going to my mothers." I said. "Go play with your boyfriend. Im done begging and done even trying."
"Diana. We were just playing video games. Stop being a prude."
I glared at him. "A prude!? Would a prude sit around and take being ignored?"
When he said nothing I closed my bag, put it on my back and headed out but was blocked by Sam. "Diana…."
When Sam tried to touch me I smacked his hand away. "Get out of my way."
"No damn it. Its not fair that every time I get to do something for myself I get bitched at!" I can see he was getting annoyed. Good. I was too.
"And its not fair to be told lies!"
"I wasn't fucking lying! I told you we would go tomorrow."
"You told me that the past month!"
"Fine whatever I don't know why you have to leave….."
"Im not staying here."
"I think your just being a drama queen as always." Sam rolled his eyes and leaned on the door post. "You want to go…fine just don't come crawling back to me."
That stung for sure. I didn't cry though. "I wouldn't plan on going back to a jack ass like you!" Before I could stop him I was grabbed by the arms and slammed into the wall so hard that I yelped.
"Im not the one who causes shit! Damn im so tired of people bitching at me! Im fucking human not god!" He lifted me up and slammed me a second time. "Don't come back again Diana. Seriously. I don't need shit in my life…..like you."
"Samuel whats going on here." We heard his mother say. He let go of me fast, and I made my escape mumbled something than ran out. I couldn't get a hold of my mother so I eventually went to Bailey's.
"He did what!?" Bailey puzzled as she saw the hand prints on my arms.
"He slammed me against the wall and told me that he doesn't need shit in his life….like me."
"That little. Im calling him-" I grabbed her arm and shook my arm.
"Don't. please just can I stay here till I can go to my mothers."
Bailey frowned looked at Scott, who looked at Bailey. "She can stay. Im not having her stay back at your house."
"I'll take the couch." I said. Laying down seemed swell. Being with Bailey and Scott was too. It was when I was alone that it was bad. Memories krept
Upon me, which made my heart ache. Tears escaped and there I cried.
Stupid me to believe this love could ever be.
The next day I got a hold of my mother, she came and got me. And so I left Morganville….I left everything. Hoping to start a new life…..so I could forget my old one….
Especially my dear Sammy
