The Past Comes Back

Chapter 5

Weeks go by. Andy is 6 months pregnant. Reign was officially weaned from breastfeeding. Robert and Andy decided to get a puppy. They had big changes coming as they had planned on moving. They already had a house picked out and put an offer in. They knew the people she once knew were moving from New York to Seattle and since they knew where she lived, they wanted to move. Andy needed time to reconcile with her past. The people who she once knew had changed as well Andy herself. Andy forgot about her past and went on with her future, her present. She loves her family and would do anything for them. All she wants is to protect her children from the world. Andy hadn't thought too much about her siblings since she left.

It was early morning when Robert woke up. It was still dark out. He got up and went to the bathroom. He looked at the clock and seen that it was 5:30. Shift started at 8. He got back in bed and slept for another hour before getting up to make breakfast. He made eggs and bacon for the three of them and protein shakes for Andy and himself. He went upstairs to wake his daughter up before taking her into his bedroom to lay Reign on her momma. Reign woke Andy up. Together the 3 of them walked downstairs and sat at the table. Andy and Robert keep their phones off when they eat meals as a family, so they can enjoy the time they have together. Robert washed the dishes while Andy dried them. After they got ready for the day Andy looked at her phone. She seen a text from her Terry from an hour ago.

••Terry••

Terry- We are all moving to Seattle next week. Message me asap.

Andy- I was eating breakfast with my family. Who's all moving here?

Terry- Ian, Carly, Vanessa, Carter, and the others that we would out for drinks with back in New York.

Andy- Kristy is still alive?

Terry- Yes, she beat her cancer. Emily and Stacy are also moving to Seattle.

Andy- Okay. Well we have to take our daughter daycare and then get to work.

Terry- Okay.

••Text Over••

Andy walk over to Robert and hugs him tight. The kind of hug she gives him when she's stressed out. As much as it hurt when she left all of her friends behind in New York, she was glad that she settled down and started a family. She was glad that she forgot about her old life. She's loves being a wife and mother.

Robert- "Babe what's wrong. You're stressed. it's not good for the baby."

Andy- "Terry texted me. They are moving here next week, but it's not just the three of them. My siblings are as well. Also 3 of my old friends are coming as well. I don't know if I handle all these people from my past coming back into my life."

Robert- "It will be okay Andrea." he said in a soft tone.

Andy- "They know where we live Robert. I don't want them to just show up as they please. I need time to let them into my life. They don't know me. They don't know who I am now."

Robert- "Then we will take Reign to daycare and take the day off. We will start packing, so we can start moving. I should be getting the keys to the new house tomorrow."

Andy- "Thank you." she said as she will still in Robert's embrace.

The couple called out of work before taking their daughter to daycare. They stopped by the store to grab some boxes and packing tape. They pulled in the driveway and went inside. Andy turned the speakers on and played salads music. They salsa danced while packing the living room. Eventually they moved from room to room. After 4 hours she needed to rest. They sat on the couch together. They decided they were done for the day.

At 5pm they went to daycare to pick Reign up. They stopped by the store to paper plates and plastic silverware as they had started packing the kitchen. They stopped and got pizza on their way home. When they got home, the family sat on the couch eating pizza and watching frozen, as requested by Reign. By 8pm their daughter was snuggled in between both of her parents. Robert carried his daughter upstairs to her bed, with Andy following behind.

The next day "A" shift had the day off. Andy and Robert went and got the keys to their new house. They rented a U-haul and went back to their house. They took the beds apart and put them in the U-haul along with their couch. They put as many boxes in the car as they could. Reign rode in the car with her mom, while her dad drove the U-haul.

After 3 days of packing and transferring everything from the old house to the new one, they sat on the couch. There were boxes spread throughout the house. They knew that there was a lot to do, but they weren't in a rush anymore. Nobody knows where they live.

Andy had received a text from her mother saying they would be arriving in Seattle in 2 days and that they'd all like to have dinner with her, but she had ignored the message. She didn't know how to react. Everything was moving quickly. They showed up a month ago and forced their way into her life and now they are moving to Seattle. She's gotten used to not thinking about them, but now they are going to be in her life again whether she likes it or not.

Soon enough I was getting texts from everyone. I hadn't even have anyone her number other than Carter, but what should I have expected. I should've known he would've gave it to everyone. The entire state of New York probably knows it.
