"Hey Isaac." I said my face probably white as a ghost.
"It's been awhile huh?" He said scratching the back of his neck and looking at Jackson probably trying to do the math. Luckily I brought Jackson whose shy and dug his face in my neck, because Bella would be turning around and started talking to him which when he sees their eyes it would be a dead give away.
"Yeah three years." I said just waiting for Jackson's curiosity to get the best of him and turning around giving away my biggest secret.
"Yeah and uh- whose this little guy." He asked the one question I was terrified to answer. Jackson turned to face him in my arms making my heart rate pick up to an unhealthy rate. I saw Isaac's face fall in surprise as he saw himself, but a two year old version.
"This is my son." I barely got the words out without throwing up.
"Courtney, what the hell. He- he-" He was clearly lost for words as Jackson lost his confidence and dug his head back into my neck.
"He looks like his dad." I said finishing his sentence. Isaac didn't say anything as he gazed at the two year old in my arms that he clearly knew was his.
"I need air." He said before quickly getting out of the store. I grabbed a random package of butter and quickly paid and followed after him. He was sitting on the curb of the grocery with his head between his knees looking at the ground. I Situated Jackson in my arms and sat beside him, he probably deserved an explanation.
"He has a sister you know." I said watching the cars pass.
"You've been pregnant twice?" He asked with shock on his face.
"Nope only once." I whispered. He got up and walked into the grass and threw up, probably from the nerves that came with finding out you have twins. Jackson watched him with s concerned face. Isaac came back after spitting out the contents of his stomach and sat on the curb.
"Are you ok?" Jackson asked in the cutest voice I had to smile. Isaac surprisingly did too.
"Yeah I'm fine, what's your name little guy?" He asked making Jackson hide in my hair.
"Jackson. His names Jackson, he's very shy. He usually never talks to any new person, he barely talks to me usually. His sister on the other hand never stops. She'll talk your ear off. She is confident and less considerate than Jack, Jack cares about everyone, he refuses to eat meat after he found out it was alive at one point. Bella reminds me of you ya know." I said watching the traffic. I knew he was listening to every word.
"About that night Courtney I'm so-" He began to say before I cut him off.
"I understand you didn't know. By the time I knew I was pregnant, you were gone. You should've seen Jace's face when he found out I had twins and they weren't his. They could've very easily been, but their eyes don't lie. I mean if you want we could go get them tested we can, but there is no doubt in my mind they're yours." I said but he shook his head.
"If you saw baby pictures of me you wouldn't be able to tell if it was me or him. It's crazy." He said calming down as I told him about his children. Our children. I'm surprised I'm not more freaked out. I guess I've been preparing for this for awhile. It went better than expected.
"Can I hold him?" He asked after a while of silence. I was about to protest, because I knew if Jackson was put in a stranger's arms he would scream his head off, but Jackson surprisingly looked at him and stuck his arms out like he did for me a thousand times. I couldn't believe it. It took him months to let Jason even hold his hand.
"He's never done that to a stranger." I said out of shock. Jackson only looked at his father with curiosity and pointed to his eyes and looked at me.
"Bee." He said making Isaac scrunch his eyebrows.
"Yeah you too bud." I said giving him a reassuring smile.
"What?" Isaac asked confused looking at me.
"His sister has the same color eyes. Her names Bella, we call her Bee." I explained making Isaac's small smile grow.
"I want to meet her." He said as he watched Jackson.
"She's at my mom's right now, you can follow me their. Just a warning she's a lot more over bearing than Jack. She has no boundaries." I explained, worried she would realize who he was. She might be loud and hyper, but she was smart. Even though she's only two I wouldn't doubt she could put two and two together.
"Okay here you go." He said almost reluctantly letting go of Jackson and handing him to me. I could tell he already loved him, and would fall in love with Bella just as quick.
I got in my car and he followed me back to my mom's house. I couldn't help, but wander what she is going to say. How do I even introduce them? Hey mom remember how you'd always ask who their father is and I would never tell you? Well here he is, Mr. One Night Stand himself. God this was going to be interesting.
I pulled into the small drive and Isaac right after me. I got Jackson out of his car seat and made my way to the door that was unlocked. I pushed it open and as soon as I did I heard footsteps running.
"Mama!" She screamed running into my open arms. Or arm considering Jackson was in the other one. I scooped her up and kissed her cheek making her kiss mine as well. She looked over my shoulder at presumably Isaac so I turned so we were all facing him.
"Whose dat?" She asked pointing to the very uncomfortable man in front of me. He looked so unsure of himself and scared.
"This is Isaac. He's a... friend of mine." I said. "And don't be rude Bella." I added.
"Like Jason?" She asked making me blush as Isaac watched our exchange.
"No not like Jason." I mumbled my face probably a tomato. I knew at some point the was going to have to learn about the guy who was raising his children for him while he was off doing god knows what, but I sure as hell didn't want it to be now.
"Hi sic." She said unable to pronounce his name.
"Hello Bella." He answered with a hint of a smile on his face.
"You wook tike Jack." She said looking at her brother than her father.
"Oh yeah well you look like your mommy." He said, it was true while Jack had Isaacs dark brown hair that was untamable, Bella had my bright red hair that was currently a curly mess, but if she was anything like me it would straighten out. Jackson was tanner like Isaac and Bella is pale like me. Bella had a million and on freckles and Jackson only had a few and they're scattered.
"Want to pway twucks?" She asked suddenly and pointed towards her toys.
"Sure." He said and I put her down to lead him to the mass of toys scattered in the living room. I also set Jack down beside them and went to the kitchen to find my mom.
"That's their father isn't it?" She asks clearly watching what happened earlier from the hallway.
"Yes, he saw me and Jack at the grocery store and well, you saw him there is no doubt it's his. His name is Isaac and before I could tell him I was pregnant when I was 19, he had already moved to Florida. I have no clue how long he's back for." I told her in a low voice not wanting the kids or Isaac to hear.
"How are you going to tell them if he does decide to stay. They don't even know what a father is. And not to mention what if they get attached just for him to leave, that would be devastating for them. You don't even know the kid!" She whisper shouted at me and I sat on a stool on the island and put my head in my hands.
"I know mom, but I have been so guilty the last few years for letting him miss out on watching them grow up. I can't keep feeling guilty. Plus he's already met them, what am I supposed to do, erase his memory and ship him to Florida. The kids will want to know who their father is in a few years." I said on the verge of tears from all the stress the situation is putting on me.
"Hey it's okay honey. You're right and they're your kids." She said moving beside me and pulling me into a hug.
"God I have no fucking clue what I'm going to tell Jason." I said before breaking into a fit of sobs having no clue how my life ended up this way.
