Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. This one is about Bella Kingston and spending another summer in London with her dad.

Another Summer in London

Bella's POV

Tomorrow I would be leaving for another summer in London. Tyler and JT were also leaving Rosewood tomorrow for the youth summer travel baseball league. Deylia and Branden were going to be spending some time in NYC over the summer. Branden is taking a summer dance class at NYU and Deylia wants to spend as much time with him as she can.

"Bella, enjoy the summer with your dad. When you come back home you are going to have to think about school and decided what school's to apply to." Melissa said

"Mom, I have been thinking about going to university in London." I said

"That's great Bella. I was hopping you would stay a little closer to home but I know you would like to be closer to your dad. Maybe you can tour university's in London while you are there this summer." Melissa said

"I was planning on that. I was actually thinking of going to Rosewood Community college for the first year and then transferring." I said

"Is this because Tyler doesn't graduate for another year after you?" Melissa asked

"Yes, sort of because we can hardly handle a summer apart. I don't know how we would handle entire year apart." I said

"Not that I would mind you staying in Rosewood for a year after high school but I don't think you should stay just because of Tyler." Melissa said

Deylia, JT, and Tyler came over to spend some time with me because it would be the last time we would see each other for awhile. Deylia and I painted each others nails. Tyler and JT played video games while Deylia and I were doing girl stuff.


The next day I was at the airport leaving for London. It was later at night by the time I arrived. I thought my dad was picking me up but apparently I was wrong. I was being picked up by my dad's friend, probably girlfriend but he never really told me if they were dating or not. Her name was Hannah like my aunt Spencer's friend but my dad's friend spelled her name with an H at the end. She also had a daughter that I didn't know about.

"Why isn't my dad here?" I asked

"Bella, your dad was admitted into the hospital last night." Hannah said

"Is he going to be alright?" I asked

"I think so but he passed out at his house last night and he was rushed to the hospital. He regained consciousness this morning but the doctors want to up the chemo. The first round worked but it wasn't strong enough to keep the cancer away." Hannah said

"Is this your daughter?" I asked

"Yes, say hi Hope." Hannah said

"Hi, my name is Hope." Hope said

"Nice to meet you, how old are you Hope?" I asked

"5 but I am going to be 6 on November 27th." Hope said


Oddly enough Hope looked like the kid version of me but she had blond hair. I would always often wonder if the reason my parents left London and moved back to Rosewood was because my dad had an affair. Hannah drove Hope and I back to my dad's house.

"Can I call you my big sister?" Hope asked

That was it I had to know the truth.

"My name is Bella but if you want to say sister then I guess it's ok." I said

I decided I would visit my dad first thing in the morning since visiting hours were over for the day. I could probably get in since my dad worked at the hospital and I am his daughter but I had a long flight so I was tired. I waited for Hope to go to bed for the night so I could ask Hannah a few questions.

"Are you living here now or are you just staying here so I don't have to be alone?" I asked

"Hope and I moved in here last month. I got foreclosed on my house so Hope and I had no where else to go but here." Hannah said

"That's nice of my dad." I said

"Your dad has a big house and we are dating." Hannah said

"How long? I knew you and my dad were friends but I didn't know he was dating anyone." I asked

"6 months as boyfriend/girlfriend, we reconnected as friends a few months before that. We knew each other before that but it was a complicated friendship." Hannah said

"So you knew my dad before then?" I asked

"Yes. We work at the same hospital. I'm a doctor for kids and your dad was a regular emergency room doctor." Hannah said

"Can you just tell me if Hope is also my dad's kid?" I asked

"Yes, I thought you already knew but apparently not. A little over 6 years ago I told your dad I was pregnant with his child and the next day he told me his was moving to the united states. Your dad sent me money several times a year. He also sent birthday cards and holiday cards for Hope. We stayed in contact but only by emails and letters in the mail. He must have been real careful about it so no one found out. I would send him pictures of Hope to his work email all the time and he also sent me some pictures of you." Hannah said

"I thought I was an only child until now. Does Hope know who her dad is?" I asked

"Yes Hope knows, Your dad would visit Hope when your family spent the summers here. All week she has been talking about meeting her big sister." Hannah said

"No wonder why Hope asked if it was ok to call me her big sister." I said

"I wanted Hope to meet you last summer but your dad told me you were going though a lot and telling you about Hope wasn't go to work out good." Hannah said

"Does anyone else know about Hope?" I asked

"Your cousin Liam knows about Hope and he even has babysat Hope a few times. Liam's parents don't know and your grandparents on your dad's side didn't know either. I was going to tell them but I never had the chance." Hannah said

"What does hope think about Liam?" I asked

"Hope loves Liam. Hope doesn't understand the difference between cousins and siblings so she calls Liam her big brother." Hannah said


The next day I want to see my dad. Hannah drove Hope and I to the hospital so we could see our dad. It felt really weird saying our dad. Liam was at the hospital as well.

"I missed you Bella." Wren said

"I missed you to." I said

"I know this may look bad but I promise you I will get better." Wren said

I know he can't really promise me but my dad had to make that promise because Hope was so young. I waited for Hannah and Hope to run some errands. She asked me if I wanted to go with her but I told her Liam would take me back to the house later.

"Bella, There is something I need to tell you." Wren said

"I know about Hope dad and why didn't you tell me you were dating your other daughters mother?" I asked

"I wanted to but the timing was never right." Wren said

"Can I just assume that Mom doesn't know Hope is your daughter?" I asked

"Your mom knows Bella. Hope is mostly the reason why we got divorced. She knew I had an affair and I cheated on her before but once she found out about Hope it destroyed our marriage. " Wren said

"Are you happy with Hannah?" I asked

"Yes but I still miss your mom." Wren said

"Mom is single again. She broke things off with Ian and he moved out." I said

"How are the Cavanaugh kids doing? I have only heard from JT recently. It's so great that he gets to do the summer travel baseball league with Tyler again." Wren asked

"Rochelle graduated high school and she is going to U Penn in the fall." I said

"If you email Rochelle tell her I'm sorry I missed her graduation. Don't worry because I will do everything I can to be at your high school graduation next year." Wren said

"Elizabeth sprained her right ankle so she won't be doing gymnastics most of the summer." I said

"Spencer told me when she emailed me." Wren said

"Rosie's horse had to be put down a month ago." I said

"Spencer also told me that. How is Rosie taking it?" Wren asked

"Rosie is sad but she knows she will get another horse and ride again soon." I said

"Are you and Tyler still together?" Wren asked

"Yes. We have our good and bad days but we are making out relationship work." I said

"I'm happy for you." Wren said


I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. I will try to update more often. This story will be ending soon but I plan on starting a "PLL Next Generation - From the Beginning". This will be a prequel story and the Next Generation characters will be a lot younger. I will probably start from Spencer and Toby's wedding so only a few kids (Jayde, Coco and Chanel) will be born at this point. All the rest of them will be born in the story. I already have some ideas for the story so I more then likely will start it before this story is over.
