Christbella Lake

chapter seven family

A few day's after Sam's funeral. I go in to labour. As I go through the pain of childbirth. I shout at Seth and my Father telling them its there fault Sam is dead. I dont really blame Seth but, I do blame my Father as he sent me away.

After an hour of labour. I give birth to twin's a boy and a girl. We name our daughter Angel Gianna after our mother's. 

Our son is named Sam Mark jr after my lost love and, our friend Mark you will remember he was Sam best friend.

Mark come's over everyday to see the kid's but, I can't see him. So Seth stay's with him or goes to meet him.

 I know it hurt's Mark because he tell's Seth but, when I see him. I think of Sam and it hurt's so much and, I still miss Sam. I dont think, I will ever get over him. I know, I will never forget him.

Every weekend. I take Seth jr to Sam's grave he like's to take a single black rose to him. Jr sit's on the ground beside Sam's grave and place the rose on the grave.

 Then he sit's and talk's to him. " Ello Uncle Sam I'm ere again, I ave brought u a new rose. I avent told you yet that, I ave a brother and sister now. I miss you sooo much, I wish you were ere. As no one play's train like you, well it's time to go now. I love you and, I will see you next weekend ".

I should explain jr can't pronounce the letter h but, watching him talking like that make's me sob dry tears. Jr see's me and run's up to  the bench.

 I'm sat on and says. " Dont cry mummy it's okay. Uncle Sam can ear me ". I smile and hug him. We then leave.

December it's hard to believe it's been 6 months since Sam died and, I still feel his loss like it was yesterday.

 I wonder if, I will every get over Sam being gone. I hope not, the children are all excited because its nearly christmas.

 Sam jr and Angel are 2 half years old now and, Seth jr is 5 years old. It's hard to believe Seth jr will be a vampire in 3 years. The twin will be vampire's in 2 year's. I know the palace will be full for christmas.

A few day's before christmas. I go to Sam's grave alone. So I can shout out my pain and anger at him.

" SAM WHY JUST TELL ME WHY ". I know its stupid but, I need an answer. I never thought, I would lose him this way even if we couldn't be together.

As lover's we could have been together. As friend's I never wanted him out of my life, I pull the letter from my pocket. It is all I have left of him. I read it aloud.

" Dearest Chris

 I'm sorry. I've tried to live without you but, I can't you are my life, my heart, my reason to live now you have been taken from me there is no more reason to live.

 I dont blame you because, I love you my sweet vampire princess Chris you are my everything. As long as you live.

 I will live in you forever Christbella look after Seth jr and the new baby's. I will alway's be your's and, I hope you can forgive me in time.

 I'm sorry Chris this was the only left for me. I love you Chris and goodbye my one and only true love.

I love you Christbella with all my heart Samxxxxx ".

After I read this aloud to Sam's headstone. I say. " I will alway's keep this with me Sam, it's the only part of you. I get to keep. I have named my son after you. So your name will always live on. I can keep this  part of you alive forever ".

 I'm sat there looking at Sam's headstone when, I hear footstep's approaching. I know it's Mark. I can smell him.

 " Hi Chris. I knew, I would find you here ". I look up at him. " Hi Mark I just had to see him alone ". He sigh's.

 " I know you miss him Chris. Can I ask one question why we are alone ". I nod and look away. " Why wont you see me Chris. I've tried but you wont see me. It hurt's I miss him too and, I love you ".

 I know now that, I have hurt him. " I'm sorry Mark, I can't cope with the pain and seeing you remind's me of Sam ".

 He pull's me up and make's me face him. " I'm sorry Chris but, I can't stand the thought of losing u too. I'm marrying Lex next month and, I want you there ". I nod and hug him.

I can make this work. I love Mark as a brother, I can't let him down too. As we turn to leave, I place my families crest on Sam's grave. " I love you Sam ". Then me and Mark leave together.

Christmas day and the chidren are playing with there new toy's. Were all sat watching, I turn to Seth and give him a gold and diamond promise ring which he puts on his left pinkie finger.

He turn's and kisses me. I smile and then I turn to Mark and give him a rose gold ring with our families crest on it. " Chris I can't take this unless you are giving me a job ".

 I smile and shake my head. " No Mark I have asked my Father to adopt you. So we can be a family. I alway's wanted a brother ". He hug's me and, I hug him back. " I will alway's be here for you and, love you my new big sis ".

As the day turn's in to night Seth goes down on one knee and says. "Christbella Lucy Lake. I love you with all my heart will you do me the honor of marrying me ". I smile. " Yes Seth James Locke. I will marry you ".

A month later we are all seated in the palace garden's. As Mark and Lex exchange there marriage vows to each other.

 As the party run's into the night Mark tell's me that Lex is having there first child he is very excited. Me and Mark are around each other all the time.

 My Father is happy to he has a son even though he is adopted. He is part of the family now and forever.

My Father raise's a glass and says. " TO MR&MRS MARK LAKE ". I smile. I just wish Sam was here to see this.
