Mine (Marina)

Chapter 2.

Carinas pov:

I heard the trucks pull up. After a short minute I heard the doors slam, followed by foot steps coming up the stairs. Apparently Eleanore heard them too, she started looking around frantically, her breathing becoming quicker by the second. "Bambina, calm down its ok. It's just more of my friends. Your ok." I reassured her. I don't think she even heard me, she quickly jumped up out of her chair and tried to run. I just barely grabbed her arm and pulled her into my lap. "Noo!" She yelled. "Shh Bella. Your okay." I soothed. Her breathing evened out quickly and I was glad, she still had silent tears falling down her soft baby checks.

Mayas pov:

We finally got back from what felt like the longest call in a long time. "Ugh I feel like I could sleep for  a billion years." I sighed.  "I bet we all could bishop." Andy agreed. We All made our way upstairs into the beanery. I opened the door and what I saw made me freeze. Carina, Ben and a little girl. I was so confused i forgot how to speak. "Maya? Are you ok?" Carina asked sweetly. "Y-yea. Who's this?" I asked genuinely confused. "Well. It's a long story, but her name is Eleanor." Carina started. "Uh I'm gunna need some more context Carina, I'm not following." Travis said, making me realize everyone was as confused as me.

Carina and Ben began to explain, I stood in shock not moving the whole time, eyeing the little brunette in carinas lap, fast alseep. "It couldn't be?.. right?" I thought to myself. "No, definitely not." Apparently Carina noticed I was lost in my thoughts, "Bella?" She said, making me snap out of my head. "Yea?"..

Everyone went back to how they normally would be, making lunch, chatting about whatever. But me? I couldn't. I was stuck in my thoughts, sitting at the table staring at the little girl in my wife's arms. They looked almost like twins, it was kinda scary how similar they were. "Mmm" I heard, glancing over at the tiny girl waking up. "Shh Bella, I'm here" Carina said, kindly watching the girl.

After a while it was just me, Carina and Eleanor. Sitting at the table. Face to face. Carina tried asking small questions, she got short,simple answers back if she was lucky, if not she would just nod. "How old are you Bella?" The girl thought for a moment before shyly replying. "Elven.." my jaw dropped. She was so thin and small I thought she was half of her age. Carina looked over and gave me a knowing look. This was gunna be rough.
