Hushed Secrets
Chapter 10
"Olivia Grace Swan!" I yelled for my 5 year old daughter.
"What mama?" She came into my room covered in stickers and markers.
"What have I told you about wasting my classroom supplies?" I frowned at her.
"Sorry momma. I just love the rose stickers, they're so pretty and remind me of Aunt Rose." She smiled her toothless smile at me.
"No more!" I scolded lightly. "Now, go clean up and get ready for your bath, so we can go see Aunt Rose." I smiled.
"Yes! Maybe Uncle Em will let me play the station!" she yelled as she ran up the stairs.
I followed her up and got her clothes together as she jumped in the tub.
I can't believe how well my life has been over these last five years.
I had Olivia, my entire pregnancy was a touch and go and Edward was a mother hen. It was because of me, that he decided to become an obstetrician. And he'd helped me greatly with Olivia the first few years and Alice, his now wife was a Godsend. Without them I'd never have been able to finish college in a record breaking two and a half years. And be working on my Masters, now as well as teaching.
It was great, we all lived in the same neighborhood, Alice and Edward had this massive house, Olivia had her own suite and I had a room too, same went for Rose and Emmett an their brood of kids. Olivia and I lived in a smaller house that my dad helped me buy and it was perfect for us.
I loved our weekly get togethers at each other's homes, dad and Garrett along with Kate and their daughter Siobhan would drive from Forks and spend the weekends with us when they could and the best thing about all this… Was the wonderful guy I was dating, Sam. He was Emmett's right hand man, basically their District Manager. He was great with Olivia and no one ever brought up Jasper, for that I was grateful. It was bad enough to see him on TV and magazines as well as hear my kids talk about him, yeah I taught high school science, and baseball season was the worst.
It had been almost six years to the day since I'd seen him. He'd come to Seattle a few times Rose said, but always warned me and Olivia and I would got Forks or somewhere else. Yeah I ran away, but I couldn't face it, I won't lie, he almost killed me that day and my pregnancy suffered for it the entire time. Once I saw her face, that was it, he didn't dominate my thoughts or feelings anymore. Olivia did, she was all that mattered and I had a wonderful life now. I was brought out of my thoughts from Olivia yelling she was ready to be washed off.
I got her dressed, picked up our desserts and headed out. Sam was meeting us there in an hour, around the same time everyone else did.
It was a nice day, so we walked the two blocks to Rose's house. "Mommy, is Sam going to be my dad?" Olivia asked out of nowhere. "Um, I don't know sweetie." I answered her honestly. Sam was a great guy but we hadn't been dating that long, a little over a year and to me, that was too soon for marriage, add on to that we're both so busy with our jobs, it wasn't something I wanted to think about.
We entered the house and heard laughing from the kitchen. Olivia ran off to the living room where the kids were. I proceeded to the kitchen, only to find Jasper sitting there with a Spanish woman on his lap.
