It Is That Simple ch6
A/n: I think you all love some bespectacled Edward as much as I do...gah...there is just something about that boy in glasses that sets my body ablaze:)
Let's check back in on our grieving daughter...
BPOV
It was the first day of my new job and I seriously did not want to get out of bed. Kendall came wadded into my room, she carried a spatula.
"What are you doing sweet baby?" I asked as I swooped down to pick up my daughter. She giggled at the contact and I couldn't help but tickle her a little more just to hear her laughter.
I couldn't believe how big she had gotten in just the past few months. Had I slept through the past eight months of her life?
I felt like I lived in somewhat of a fog. My poor baby had only been three months old when it started. and had grown into this beautiful child while I had missed out on so much of her life. I knew that Charlie would be upset with me and the way I had acted for the last year. He had been so proud of me for adopting her on my own.
"Ready for your first day?" Renee asked from the doorway.
"As ready as I can be." I replied, stiffly.
"It'll do you good to get back into the workforce. Besides, you have a daughter to raise now so you have to remember that you are an example for her." Her tone had it's usual snap and snark. I wasn't particularly close to my mom as I grew up. She and Charlie had divorced when I was five and since I was already in school, she thought it best that I just stay with him.
If the truth be told, I just think that she wanted to go and live her life with no responsibilities.
I didn't feel that way at all. I had longed to be a mother for so long, it was hurtful to me now to realize all that I had missed out on my child's life. She deserved a better mother than I had been to her.
I made a promise to myself that I would try harder for Kendall.
Now, if I could just tell my heart that it truly was that simple.
A/n: It'll be this afternoon before I post again...gotta eat lunch and get some work done...but never fear...there are 14 more chapters to go for today alone...
Are you keeping up with the other Drabble War fics? I hope so...they all deserve some love...and while they are all different I implore you to step outside the box and try something new...You never know what you might find;)
