Love At First Sight - Beau Bennett

Twenty Three

Beau and Shane sat down and talked about the event that happened. Shane accepted Beau's apology and now they are closer than ever. I also think that Beau realised how good Shane was with Brooke so he loosened up a lot more. Beau and I were just sat on the couch just watching some kids programme that Brooke had on. Whenever Beau and I were sat on the couch or just sat next to each other, he always made sure that he could feel whether or not the baby kicked which I found cute.

"Mommy, when can I see uncle Sid?" Brooke asked as she crawled over towards us. She loved crawling for some reason.

"He's busy with work and Hilary for a minute. But, when he's free we will go and see him." She nodded and sat on Beau's lap. Her and Beau had a much closer bond and I think that's because he was never around, so when he was around they both made the most of it. We continued to watch the random child's programme when I got fed up of it and decided to make food. I made chicken and potatoes for Beau and Brooke before making myself cereal. I wouldn't say that I have cravings but I just loved cereal right now. Once the food was cooked, Beau and Brooke went running into the dining room and decided that they would eat their food on the couch. I walked over to them and sat on the armchair which made Beau frown.

"Why are you so far away?" He complained which made me laugh as I ate my cereal. "Seriously though Dan, why are you sitting over there?" He asked.

"Because you are sitting with your daughter and watching TV with her." I clarified making him smile.

"Just come and sit here. It's someone's bedtime soon anyway." He said as he looked down at the pouting child next to him. "C'mon Brooke, you need to go to bed." She nodded and finished her food, brushed her teeth and got ready for bed. Beau put her to bed and he walked over to me again.

"Are we getting Brooke into homeschooling?" I asked as we both went to lie in bed and watch TV in there.

"I want to get her homeschooled but I feel as though her social life wouldn't be as good as if she was in normal school." he had a point. Since the first month of school for Brooke, we couldn't get her to go in so we had to make excuses such as Beau was traveling and we couldn't get a babysitter and excuses like that. So we decided to start homeschooling her and she enjoyed it so much.

"But, she was so unhappy when she was in school. We are obviously going to find a way for her to be sociable, she has hockey." I pointed out.

"I'll speak to Tasha tomorrow." He replied making me nod. Tasha was his manager kind of person. She started off as a helper at her wedding but we hired her because she was amazing with Brooke. She was a lot older than us too so it helped Brooke. I quickly drifted off into a deep sleep and when I awoke, I saw that Brooke was lying between Beau and I. Beau was awake watching TV whilst Brooke was still sleeping.

"When did she get here?" I whispered making Beau look over at me with a giant smile on his face.

"She had a bad dream around 4am so I brought her in here. We watched some kids programme until she fell asleep." I nodded and he went on his phone and showed me the texts between him and Tasha.

Hey Tash! Danielle and I are still contemplating whether or not to get Brooke homeschooled? I know that you thought it was a good idea and Danielle and I have warmed to it. So, do you think we should get her homeschooled? - Beau

Definitely!! I was homeschooled and i turned out alright. She'll be fine, I'll get her the best tutor and she will be brighter than anyone - Tash

What about friends though? I think that's the only thing stopping Dani and I. We know that she does her hockey so she'll make friends in there but I'm concerned about her making friends in the future. - Beau

Trust me Beau, she'll be fine. If you guys ever plan on putting her into school then we'll teach her how to adapt to school life. Speak to Danielle and get back to me. - Tash.

In my opinion, I didn't mind her being homeschooled but I think Beau was more reluctant because he wanted her to be loved by everyone. Also, I had plans of her going to an actual high school or an actual college. Beau on the other hand had her as his baby for her entire life. I get that he adores her and everything but he needs to learn to let go.

"So, are we going to homeschool her?" He asked making me nod. "Great! Plus the season is over so I get to spend more time with my princesses." In a circumstance like this, he would have kissed me but considering we had a young child sleeping between us, he just stuck his tongue out at me and began to watch the TV.
