The Stranger

Chapter 13

recap

"well I guess I better get home, I love you mom" we stood up and hugged, "I love you too" she kissed me forehead, I picked Diana up and headed out.

I walked to the van and loaded it up, I buckled Brittany and Diana in, then made sure i got all the dogs. "alright, let's go home" I said. Half hour later we at rived on our land, we got out and the pups all ran to the barn, I smiled as Scout walked with Lucy. Drew had unbuckled the girls for me, I picked up Diana and Brittany walked beside me, I showed Drew to the door "Brittany, take your sister and go lay on the couch" she nodded "mommy can we watch Tangled?" I smiled and nodded, "as long as you are quiet" Brittany nodded and took Diana. I laughed a little while I watched Brittany carry Diana. "alright, I'll show you where you can stay" I said, Drew nodded and followed me up the stairs, I led him down the hall to the end, I opened a door "here, you go" I said Drew walked in and said "wow, this is a nice room" he said, I smiled and looked at the guest room, I had cream colored walls and a king sized bed, with two night stands, and a connecting bathroom. "I'll let you settle in, Supper will be at five" I told him, he nodded. I closed the door behind me and checked my phone, it was three in the afternoon, I decided to check on the girls, I walked down the stairs and headed to the living room , i saw Tangled playing on the TV, and I saw Brittany with Diana on the couch, Diana was half asleep and Brittany was singing the songs to her. I couldn't help but smile, I grabbed a blanket and laid it on top of them, Brittany held onto Diana and fell asleep. I sighed and walked to the patio, I sat on the swing and Lucy came and laid down by my feet "hey there mamma" she looked up and smiled, we both sat there watching Scout play with the pups.

Four thirty rolled around and I got up and headed to the kitchen, Lucy followed me and laid down on the bed we had for her under the counter. It was a 101 Dalmatians bed, you know when Perdita and Pongo had their pups? Anyways, I started making some supper, I just put it in the oven when I heard Diana crying. I ran to the living room and saw she woke up and Brittany was trying to calm her down "she woke up mommy" she said looking at me with her big brown eyes, I smiled and picked Diana up "alright baby" I sat on the couch and Brittany cuddled up to me "mommy?" I looked down to her "I love you" I smiled and kissed her head, she leaned down on me and I just sat there with the two beautiful daughters.

The buzzer for the oven when off so I pulled the food out and placed it on the table, I called Drew, he came down, and sat at the table with us "daa" Diana said "Mommy, where's daddy?" Brittany asked, I was cutting up Diana's food "daddy is at work, he will be back after you are in bed" I gave Diana her food then cut up Brittany's "so Drew how do you like the room?" I asked, he nodded "it's good, I noticed you have a swimming pool" he said, I nodded "you can use it if you want" I told him. We had a bit of small talk the rest of supper, Drew offered to clean the kitchen for me, so I took Diana and Brittany outside to the barn. "Brittany, could you make sure Thunder has water, be careful though" I told her Brittany nodded and ran off to the big Clydesdale horse, I watched her as she grabbed the hose and filled up his water trough "alright Diana" I said carrying her to the chickens, I set her down in a chair, I buckled her in, making sure she was secure and couldn't get out. I went into the chicken pen and fed the chickens "Mommy!" I turned and saw Brittany sitting with Diana "coming sweetheart" I placed the rest of the food in the feeders then went out, I went to the sink and washed my hands, then went and got Diana "come on Brittany, we have to check on the cattle" I said, Brittany grabbed my hand and said "Can we go see Moo moo?" She asked, I smiled and nodded, we went to the other side of the barn and to a stall, we had a pregnant cow, and Brittany called her Moo moo, "hi Moo moo" Brittany called from the fence, I opened the gate and brought the girls in, Moo moo was always good with the girls, I placed Diana beside Moo moo and Brittany sat beside her. I grabbed a water dish and brought it to Moo moo, I kneeled down by her face and helped her drink, "easy does it girl" I said petting her face, Brittany was petting her stomach "mommy, when is Moo moo going to have her baby?" She asked, I smiled and said "soon" i stood up once the dish was empty "I'll see you later girl" I said kissing her head, I grabbed Diana and Brittany and we walked out to the cattle yard, Brittany ran ahead and climbed up on the platform we made for the kids, I saw Drew coming towards us "hey Drew" I said, he smiled and said "what are you doing now?" I looked at Brittany and then back to drew "it's feeding time" he nodded "can you take Diana?" I asked, he nodded and I jaded him Diana, I climbed through the fence "I will be right back" I said, I walked to the barn and grabbed a hay bail and threw it in the feeding trough, I did that about five more times then headed back to the kids, "alright, bath time" Brittany laughed and ran towards the house, Crush and Connor came running towards her, she stopped and played with them "you do have a lot of animals" Drew said handing me Diana, I laughed and nodded, Arrow and Zoey came running to us "hey guys" I said petting them, we walked back to the house, Brittany came and walked with us while the dogs followed us, I put Diana down and filled up the dog bowls "make sure you eat all of it" I said closing the garage door.

Drew went to the living room and I went upstairs to the bathroom, I ran the tub water and put some bubble bath in. Once it was ready Brittany got undressed and climbed in, I undressed Diana and placed her in the tub, I watched the girls play in the tub then I got them washed up, once clean I put towels around them and brought them to their room "let's get your pjs on" they giggles and I grabbed their pyjamas. I got them changed and they laid in bed, I grabbed a book and read it to them "and they all lived happily ever after" I said as they fell asleep, I smiled and kissed them goodnight. I closed the door and then went down stairs and sat on the couch watching the sunset go down "So Destiny, you never told me why I need to hide out" Drew said, I looked at him and sighed "Well.. It's complicated, but basically Jake and I put my mother in Jail, and this Jacob you heard of is the guy that my parents hired to find me." I said, Drew looked at me and urged me to go on "she wants to get back at me for my dads death" Drew looked at me and said "what do you mean?" I took a deep breath and said "well I was adopted and short story short my parents wanted me dead, Jacob found me, my dad died, mom got put in jail, and I got reunited with my biological family" I said he nodded "and what does it have to do with me?" He asked, I shifted then said "anyone connected to this could be hurt" he nodded, I looked out and saw a car pull up the road to the house.

"Babe, I'm home" Jake called, I walked to him and kissed him "hey hotshot" I said breaking apart to hug him, he hugged me tight, we separated "so babe, we need to talk" I said, he flashed his smile and nodded "we have a guest staying with us" i said, I waited for his response "who is it?" I smiled and said "My friend Drew..." He sighed, I brought him to the living room "Drew, you remember Jake?" I said, they said hello to each other. I explained the situation and Jake was okay with it, I smiled and said "well I am tired" Drew stood up "I am going to head up to bed, I will see you in the morning" he said, we said goodnight, me and Jake laid on the couch "well I have to check on Moo moo, then I will meet you in bed?" I said, Jake nodded and kissed me, we stood up and I went out to the barn.

"Hey girl" I said walking in the stall "there there" I said petting her head, I sat down beside her head and I just let her, I heard something by the gate and saw Kian, Katie, Barkley and Bradley "come in guys" I said, they barked and climbed in, they were wagging their tails and licking me "be careful guys, Moo moo needs to sleep" I said, the all sat down and watched me pet Moo moo. "Alright girl, good night" I kissed her head and then left with the pups following me, I turned on the heating light for her then turned on the chicken heating lights, it was going to be a bit cold tonight, so I turned on the lights for all the animals, I walked to the garage and closed the door, I smiled and let the dogs in the house, they all walked with their parents I brought them to their room, yes we have a designated room for them, they each had a bed, blankets, bowl and toys. They all ran to their beds and laid down, I closed the door and unlocked the dog door, I walked upstairs and to the girls room, I opened the door a crack and looked in, they were both sleeping. I closed the door and walked to my room, I saw Jake laying in bed watching tv. I got changed and laid in bed, I cuddled up to him and said "babe?" He looked at me and smiled "what's up?" He pulled the blankets over us and I said "I think I'm pregnant again..."
