December 2009
Christmas was inching closer; Hannah's due date was inching closer.
Every Christmas, before she had meet Channing she would attempt to spend it with her dad and with Alytain while Harley and Meredith lapped up the festive season but this time, this time it was different.
This time she was the person in the middle, the one who had to figure out how to spilt the month. The one who had to shift her attention between Channing and Alytain, she was thankful her dad was coming down.
"Hannah?"
Belle looked up at Alytain as she watched him sit next to her on the back porch, she loved watching the boats drive past their house.
Belle felt Alytain kiss her cheek, she needed to continue this phone conversation, but she wasn't sure how to.
Alytain wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Hannah?"
Belle sighed "Sorry, what did you say?"
"Whose picking up your dad?"
Belle lowered her head with forgetfulness, she couldn't believe the one thing she had needed to remember she couldn't "Well.." She drifted off.
"I can do it." Channing had started to get used to Hannah's excuse of not being able to do much as she inched forward to her due date, he had started to get used to her kids wanting to spend time with their dad. He had even started to get used to Hannah spending less time with him.
"Thank you so much." Belle hung up the phone.
"Who was that?"
"Uh. Trying to organise dad being picked up."
"Bill's coming?" Alytain groaned.
Belle rolled her eyes "Seriously, chan.." She adjusted herself in her seat as she realised what name she was about to say "..Alytain? It's Christmas. It's tradition."
Alytain grumbled as he shifted his attention out to the water.
"Geez, Alytain. It's my dad. You know he likes to see the kids." Belle struggled to huff up to her feet.
Alytain grabbed for her hand "Babe."
Belle pulled her hand out his grip "No babe." She attempted to walk away angrily from him as she made her way inside the house.
"Belle." Alytain jumped to his feet before following her.
