Belle!

Her eyes wide open as she looks around the room. Panting. Doesn't she know where she was, the only thing she remembers is that she slept in front of the mantlepiece while doing her homework on the floor.

That is all she can remember now.

She tries to move her body but fails, once again she tries and does not move. She knows this place. She know why it's here. It is because...?

"Belle!"

She looks over her shoulder then smiles. Emma approached her with hugs. "Are we hugging now?" ask Belle.

"Just because I'm dead, Belle!" she growled. "I still can touch you".

"You still not in hell?"

"Apparently I am not. I'm stuck in this room. Alone. There is no God!"

Belle shook her head. "It's cool here. It's like you were dead inside the freezer".

"I can't pee. Yes. It's very cool here. I just noticed after you said that. How's your life? he f*ck you seriously and you seem to enjoy it".

Emma laughs, clamping her belly. "Oh god. I see everything. How was it been f*ck by the person you hate the most, no wait... husband".

"I didn't enjoy it, he hurt me! I thought about Jake when he was inside me".

"Oh Belle forget, Jake I mean what can he do to save you? He must be upset if he finds out you are married to Gibson. I mean he almost kill, Jake that day".

Emma heard Belle sigh, she took her hand. "Come. We sit over there". She pointed toward the beautiful garden Belle had never seen.

Is this the Garden of Eden?

"No it's not". said Emma who breaks Belle thought. "I just think the place I like to see has never existed. It revealed itself as I described in my mind".

Belle was in awe for a moment, she spoke. "You mean if you want to eat whatever food you like. It happens before?"

"Yes. If I want a cute boyfriend... I shouldn't not say that. Anyway, Belle everything you want is right in here".

"Can you wish that Gibson never was born or never met me?"

Emma sealed her lips shut, Belle is not happy with the way Emma's face reacts. It's just unbelievable.

"Why not!"

"I can't turn the time, Belle it was God doing not me. I'm just His creation. How many times must I tell you the same thing? And you didn't say that you slowly love, Gibson".

Belle gasped, "I am not!"

"Boo hoo. Your lie! I saw those eyes before when you love, Jake you can't lie to me, Belle I knew it!"

Emma jumped happily, Belle got angry. "He killed you dammit! How were you so excited for that".

"You can't deny it. From your lips you hate him, but not your heart". she point at Belle flat belly. "Not until that tiny person comes out from your V".

Belle frowned, "What does that mean, am I having my period?" Emma slapped the back of Belle's head. She hissed.

"You are so naive! A baby we talk about".

Shook head, "Impossible. It will never happen. Never!"

"Well you must tell God by yourself. You both conceived each other's touch of course it will happen anytime. A miracle. Which I cannot wait to see".

Emma laughed, she spoke back. "Of course it will be more than just a s*x, Belle". her happy face suddenly turned into sadness. "I see my mom, Belle, how she never stops mourning my death".

"I can't. She already hates our family because I am the reason you're dead. She never lets my parents near her, I just know that she will do something to hate us".

Belle cried, "What can I do to help her? I can't even bring justice for your dead".

"There's nothing you can do and you don't have to. Someday she will forget and forgive your family, realizing it wasn't your idea to get me killed by him. Neither one of us knows what will happen. That should do".

"Still she is your mom. She carried you and you lived inside her for nine months then the first thing she will cherish is when you were born. Every last moment she shared with you is a memory she had.

"What kind of mother will forget about her own daughter. She will remember you even after you're gone, because you're the only daughter she had in her life".

Emma smiles, she leans one of the trees. She is studying this tree. "I remember that day when I was three years old. This tree is the witness and one of my favorites. My dad used to sing his favorite song to me under this tree".

"Have you seen him?"

Emma shakes no, "While I'm stuck in here. No. I wish I could find him in Heaven. Since I am here alone. I can't".

"He should know you are dead. He will bring you back home".

"He doesn't. There is a thing you cannot imagine will always happen".

"You are stuck here because of your unfinished business". Emma stares at her. "I read that. Every human shall taste death, and the soul that had died will remain on earth if their business hadn't been fulfilled before death. Something like that".

Snorted, Emma sighs again. "You believed that shit? Unbelievable".

"I should kill Gibson while I had a chance so then your soul will not remain in here".

"Belle, did you realize what you just said? Killing your husband doesn't mean my soul will not remain in here again. I never figured out how to escape this place on my own. And you try to kill him".

"Then tell me how I should end this!"

"NOTHING!" Emma growled, she circled around the tree. "The point is... DON'T. Urgh! There will be another life that wants him to stay".

"Enough of the baby thing. It will never happen. You never met God!"

Emma nods herself, slowly she walks away from Belle. "You are not going, tell me how to get rid of him. EMMA!" a wind carried Emma's body away from her sight.

Belle jolted from her sleep. Finding Gibson snuggled behind her. In anger she kicked him harder out of the bed. He was shocked, waking up from sleep, his eyes up to her.

"What the matter!" rubs his body where it hit harder on the floor. "Why did you do that?" he glanced over the watch. He screams. "I'm late! get up Belle time for school". running toward the bathroom without bothering to ask how much pain he was in.

Belle slid her hips at the edge of the bed, waiting. The door is open.

"Belle darling please, Craig will be in here any minute". She watched Gibson walk to the closet, reaching for anything in a casual suit that he could wear.

Belle didn't move a bit. "Are you alright, Belle?" he asked. "Are you sick or something? Hungry?"

She didn't say anything. Her hand laid down on her flat belly, he noticed.

"Hungry. I call Craig for your breakfast. Well said I am late".

He suited up. Grab his bag. He leaned a kiss on her forehead, he smelled so good. Suddenly she fell into this internal sexual attraction to him.

What happened to her? How does this happen?

"Belle!" she jolted, eyes up to him. "What's wrong?"

Belle jumped off the bed running taking her quick shower. Leaving him a question why Belle suddenly acts like that in the morning. Unusual morning daily basis.

He shook head about leaving the room, hearing the door open. He turns to see Belle with a towel wrapped around her body.

He smiled. "I'll see you at school".

Belle suddenly jumps on him, though she tries to attack him. Well of course she already kicked him out the bed earlier. His thought was wrong, Belle wrapped her legs around his waist. He caught her, both sharing rough, passionate kissing in the bedroom.

His feet brought them back to the bed. Forget how late they both were to school, at this moment they were completely in an obsessive sexual mood.

"Don't STOP!" Belle warns him.

Later. Doctor Craig arrives waiting for Belle outside the house. The door is open, Belle stepping out the house and locking the door.

She smiles and greets him. "Someone is happy today. Why?" he asked Belle. "Get what you want".

Gibson already left for school after their intimate earlier. Belle scratches the back of her neck. "I dreamt of Emma". She lied. Of course she did dream of Emma but today is different.

"For now?"

"Not really. Twice". she shouldn't have said anything about their intimates in front of Doctor Craig. That would be embarrassing if she spilled the tea. "I think she is stuck between two worlds".

Doctor Craig nodded his head. "You mean three? Earth, Heaven and Hell. She doesn't know where her soul should stay. Pray for her then. Come. Gibson says both of you are very late for school. I understand he may be a little bit drunk and I know he won't. He hates party".

"Let's go!"

Later at noon. Belle studied the water inside the glass, didn't she realize Natasha and the group took a seat in front of her. They look up at Belle with interest, almost laughing at it.

"You think by staring at that water it will turn into a wine?" said Natasha.

Belle broke her gaze from the glass. "How can you get this food from McKenzie's?" ask Rosie. "People obsessed with it". the boys spoke.

"That McKenzie's. When you go there try no.8 the best rib eye steak you can barely imagine. Try with Diane. Diane is a classic steak sauce that was greatly popular in the 1940s and is rapidly making a comeback".

The group gasped, "I didn't know McKenzie served that. I ate no.5 fish with homemade tartar sauce". They begin to share their favorite food story. Belle said nothing. "McKenzie's meat pie was good too".

"Everything is good for us with lots of high cholesterol, lots of oil. High protein, fats. The rumor has it that your cousin sent those food to you. He even says that you are late for school. Well with the permission of Mr. Jackson of course''.

"Special order".

"Oh that special order. My mom loves it very much. Whatever school project we will ask for McKenzie's. Not McDonald's, not Kentucky Fried Chicken but McKenzie's".

The group is chatting but not Natasha. She spoke to Belle. "You should eat that. Your cousin is buying this food just for you. There are plenty to fill".

"I seriously wanted to vomit but it didn't".

"What about we share if you don't mind". suggest Natasha. Belle nods and shares her food with the group. "That my girl".

Later in the evening. Gibson and Doctor Craig sit on the porch. Belle runs upstairs without bothering the men downstairs.

Doctor Craig smiles telling Gibson it's time he needs to go. "What about, Belle?"

"What? About Belle? You are her husband, Victor! She needs you more than me. I'm just her guardian. And I will not promise to return so I want you to make her happy and don't f*cking shoot her legs".

Gibson nodded and Doctor Craig spoke back. "Almost a month, am I right? Since you took her". Gibson nodded again.

"She is your responsibility now, your wife. She is just a child and you must protect her no matter what. She will listen to you if you treat her good".

Doctor Craig sighs, "My flight is tonight. You don't need to accompany me to the airport".

Moments later. Belle will not let Doctor Craig go knowing this is their last meeting, the rest of her life will be with Gibson.

She hugged him around the waist. "You trying to kill me aren't you, Belle".

"I will not let you GO!"

"You must. This is where I leave you now, listen to your husband, Belle".

She roughly shook her head. Buried her face on him, she cried so hard. This is a goodbye.

"I am not going to die, Belle, my time is over. And you don't need me in here, you need Gibson".

She looked up and said, "You're leaving because of HIM, am I right?"

"No. I had my own life waiting for me to come home. It wasn't Gibson's fault that I'm leaving ".

He looked into her eyes with a smile, "You are a nice girl, Belle a good wife to your husband. Like I say he loves you. If you miss me let Gibson know, he will know what to do".

She shake head and understands as his eyes to Gibson, he nods. "Promise me you look after her while I'm gone. She is yours now. Don't hurt her. Provide something what she wants, entertain her like her age. Remember, she is still under age".

"Yes. I will. Thank you, brother". both men giving a hug. "I had my own way to contact you and I will let Belle talk with you for as many hours as she likes".

Doctor Craig nods, he smiles again. "I pray for you two happiness". he gives Belle a last hug before entering the car.

He really hated to see this leaving Belle behind, but she had Gibson with her. Nothing he should worry about.

As the tires rolled on the ground, through the mirror Doctor Craig could see Belle chasing the car behind. She watches him leave from afar until his car is no longer to be seen on the road.

She was crying a lot.

Gibson gently walks up behind her, knowing his presence behind. She turned and hugged him. Buried her face on his chest.

He patted her back. "I know you will miss Craig. It's time he had to go". looking up at the sky.

"Let's get inside. I'll make you hot chocolate with Marshmallows on top of it. It will make you smile after drinking that".
