Corbyn's POV:
It's been 5 years since my girlfriend, Christina died after complications during childbirth and our daughter, Ella-Mae Marie Besson is now 5. She has brown hair and blue eyes. I love her to death and I wouldn't be here without her. I sigh. Today the lads are coming over to hang out. I need to get dressed. I put on skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and vans. I do my hair and then I got get Ella ready. "Daddy! I want to wear a dress" said Ella. I smile. "OK, honey. A pink or purple dress?" I ask. "Pink!" said Ella, smiling. I smile back and kiss her cheek. I dress her up in a cute pink dress with tights and a pair of pink converse. She sits on my lap and I begin to do her hair. I do two pigtails. "Thank you, daddy" said Ella. "OK, I'm making breakfast for everyone, what do you want?" I ask. "Waffles" said Ella, smiling, showing me her missing tooth. We go the kitchen and I begin to make the waffles.
"Hello? Any little girls here?" called Daniel. "UNCLE DANI!" yelled Ella. She runs out to him. "Hey bug, good morning" said Daniel. He makes his way into the kitchen. "Oh, I see your daddy is making us all waffles" said Daniel. "Yeah! I'm going to have 4!" said Ella. "2, Ella" I said. "3" said Ella. "Fine, sweetie" I said. Ella claps. "Well, Corb, I'll have 3 as well then" said Daniel. I nod and the rest walk in. "Morning Corbyn, ah Ella. Your up. I thought you'd still be asleep" said Jack. "No, silly. I am awake, silly" said Ella. "I know, what's for breakfast, Ella" said Jonah. "Waffles." I said. "I asked Ella, Corby!" said Jonah. "Oops" I said. "Waffles, Uncle Jonah" said Ella. "How many you having?" asked Jonah. "3. So is Dani" said Ella. "Well, chef. I'll have 3 too" said Jonah. "Same here" said Jack. "I'll have 4, Corbyn, I am a growing boy" said Zach, rubbing his stomach. "Uncle Zach your silly" said Ella. "So are you, Miss Sunshine" said Zach.
They sit down and Jonah stays with me. "So, have you told her about school?" asked Jonah. "Not yet, today" I said. "OK, she'll love it, Bean" said Jonah. "I know, I know...it's just hard" said Corbyn. "I know, your baby going to school" said Jonah. "Yeah, now I know how my mum felt." I said. "Well, all parents worry" said Jonah. "Yeah but with school she won't be able to come on tour" I said. "Oh yeah. Have you organized anything?" asked Jonah. "Yeah, mum is gonna come and live here with Ella for the school months, weeks." I said. "OK, well, all our families will help out too. We all love her" said Jonah. "I know that. Christina's parents are coming up this weekend before she starts school" I said. "Oh, that's nice" said Jonah. "Yeah, it is. So is Jimmy" I said. "Well, Ella will be happy to see them" said Jonah. I nod. "OK breakfast is served" I said. I hand them all their waffles and we dig in.
"Daddy? Are you OK?" asked Ella. "Yeah, I have to tell you something. On Monday your gonna be starting big school. You will be other kids and learning information and having fun" I said. "Cool, daddy. Will you be staying with me?" asked Ella. "No, sweetie. You have a teacher and they mind you" I said. She nods and takes a bite. Jonah pats my shoulder. "Your so worried, calm down" said Jack. "When Lav gets to her age, you will be agreeing with me" I said. "Don't say that! She is nearly 2!" said Jack. I laugh. "Terrible twos, good luck" I said. "Yeah, Gabbie is telling me all the time that we have to be ready" said Jack. "Oh, you do" I said. I hear my phone ding. Mum.
From mum
How did Ella take the school bomb?
To mum
Good, she did ask would I be there but she seems to not care. Lucky for me but I have no idea what she'll be like when it gets to Monday.
From mum
Everything will be fine, Bean. Is Debbie and Jim, and Jimmy coming this weekend?
To Mum
Yup, Friday afternoon. I'm picking them up. Dani is minding Ella while I am picking them up.
From mum
OK, want me to come on Monday? For some support?
To mum
Yeah, I'll need that. See ya at the school at 8?
From Mum
Yeah!
I smile. "Mum is coming with me on Monday" I said. "That's great." said Daniel. His helping Ella eat. I smile and we eventually finish and clean up. "Can we go to the park?" asked Ella. "Yeah, sure" I said. I smile at her and put her coat on. I smile and kiss her cheek. "Let's go" I said. We walk to the park since it's only five minutes away. She goes on the slide. I laugh when she laughs going down. "She is amazing, Bean" said Zach. "She is. I love her to bits" I said. "I want a kid" said Zach. "Wait a while" I said. "Yeah, I will" said Zach. "Like me and Tina were only 17/16 when we had Ella. After she died, I was so lucky I had amazing family to help out and then you guys" I said. "Yeah true" said Zach. Ella walks over and hugs me. "Can I get ice cream, daddy?" asked Ella. "Hmm.... OK" I said. We go to the ice cream van and she gets a vanilla ice cream. "Thank you, daddy" said Ella. "No problem, sweetheart" I said. We sit down and dig in. Eventually we go home. "Hey, we're gonna head. It's late" said Daniel.
They leave and I make some dinner, a stew. Once it's finished, we sit down and dig in. We watch Tangles and Frozen. I smile and then I put her to bed at 8. "Daddy... did mommy love me?" asked Ella. "Very much, sweetie." I said. She smiles and I read her some stories.
She falls asleep and I head to the sitting room. I sit on the sofa and watch some movies. I rub my face and when it gets to 11 I head to bed. I instantly fall asleep.
Well, surprise a Corbyn Besson book. Honestly I had no idea I was going to do this until today! I hope you enjoy!
