A Blended Family

Chapter Four

Henry joined her, by sitting in the other chair by the door. "I know you guys haven't talk in years, but she needs somebody else to talk to besides me." Henry said. "I'll talk to her...never made what you all seem to call friends here. Couple wives of his co-workers I have talked to once or twice, but I hardly leave the house." She whispered. "Neither do they. Just Harry and I. You know a world for so long, it's hard to learn another." Henry said. "We seen the war at it's worst...There was no going back for me." She admitted. "I've even told, but it doesn't matter. Just...talk to her?" Henry said. "Yeah. Promise." She whispered. "You do this a lot with her?" He asked. "Some days are better then others. Today being a bad day for her." Bell said. "Have him find me when she gets settle." Henry said, getting to his feet. "Sure." She said, before getting to her feet and walked over to Faith who looked up at her tear eyed. "Sh. Daddy is on the way." Bell said as Henry went inside. "Daddy...Now." She fussed, sitting to pull on her ear. "I know, sweetie." She said, and ended up grabbing her by the shoulders when Hank's car pulled in. "No. You wait until daddy gets out." Bell said, having a real hard time holding onto the feisty girl. Much like always when they were waiting, he hurried and opened the car door and threw his bag over his shoulder before climbing out of the car. "Now, Faith. We talk about this." Hank said, getting ran into by the tear girl. "It's been a rough morning." Bell said, and he picked her up off the ground. "Her head." He frown. "Yeah. She needs to take this and they won't be going to school for the rest of the week." She said. "Wait, what." He said. "I'll explain later. Just please get her to take this and into bed." Bell said, giving him a quick kiss. "Alright. Alright." He said.

Hank pulled the bandage of her head once she was asleep, whatever was once their was gone. He rubbed his neck lightly. Something happened and he didn't know what was a little unsettling for his own mildly racing mind. He let out a sigh and pulled the blanket over her, before turning out the light and walked out the room, almost shutting the door. "I hear voices." Hank said to Bell who was coming out the twins room. "You do, yes. I told you I had sisters." She said. "You did...but her head." He whispered. "The school bus got hit this morning. I don't know if she got hurt or if she hurt herself. It was simpler to just get her home and to take the potion." Bell said. "You didn't call me!" Hank said. "Because they were fine and I was a little busy with my sister and your brother." She said. "Funny." He whispered. "I'm serious. Henry's here and wanting to talk with you." She said. "No. No." He replied, and started walking towards their bedroom. "Please. My sister won't stay if you two can't deal with whatever happened." She said following him. "Belly." He whined. "Please. At one point wasn't he the one on your side? Sometimes...It's just hard to believe is all. I see how Faith is. It's hard to see her another way." Bell said and after a moment. "Okay. Let me change. This stupid tie gets on my nerves." He somewhat fussed, getting followed in the bedroom.

an hour later, Hank was walking down the hallway. That hearing aid of his was just put in his ear, but wasn't yet plugged up as his turned into the kitchen and over to the small mirror on the wall. His hair had grown out some, and sometimes made it a touch difficult to pend point the right spot to plug his aid up to. His brown roots were also showing and he hated the way the dye felt on his head so he always pushed it off until it became too noticeable. Even then sometimes he would wait. "Why...are you here?" Hank asked turning to face Henry. "Because your daughter ran into the hospital room Draco was in. I started to put two and two together. Why did you never call?" He asked and after a moment. "You wouldn't have believed it...and...you stopped calling...I forgot." Hank replied. "You have to understand-" Henry started. "I do...Okay? But when I said it was time for you to believe in me, you should have." Hank said. "Yes, that might be true and I'm sorry for that. Look...if you're okay with the idea. Nass and the boys would rather stay here. My place is a touch to small and she can add a couple rooms." Henry said. "Yeah...sure...but I'll make you leave if you start babying me again. I still....have moments but I don't need a babysitter." Hank said. "Promise." Henry said.

Jayden and Kayden starting running after Trinity who had turned off their T.V. Serenity wasn't in a playing mood and the boys wouldn't pay attention to her. "We told you! Stay out of our room!" Kayden fussed. "You wouldn't play!" She said running passed Narcissa, who seen the two boys chasing after her. "You don't turn off our game!" Jayden could be heard at the end of the hallways. "Boys! Stop chasing Trinity!" Bell yelled form the kitchen. "Mommy! She turn off the game!" Jayden fussed. "I don't care what she done! You wake your sisters up and your butts won't be playing the game for the week and missy, haven't I told you not to turn off their game?" She said. "They wouldn't-" She fussed. "Boys, play with your sister." Bell said. "Mommy." Kayden fussed. "No. Find something you all can play until dinner. Now." She said, and a few looks between the three kids later they run back down the hallway into the twins room.
