Brandon's P.O.V
"I want to see my son." The man next to Anna. Anna was my best friend in high school and college. We stopped talking because she was doing drugs and drinking all the time. She changed when she got pregnant with her little girl Ella. Than she started dating a married man. I told her to stop but she refused. A year after Ella was born she got pregnant again. I guess by that married man that she's now married to. Ella has to be 7 now.
"You have no rights to see MY son, Fred. Ben is MINE. You signed away your rights. Remember?" Belle hissed. "He's still my son Belle." Fred argued. "I have full custody. I don't have to let you see him." she hissed. It became silent. Fred and Belle stood there glaring at each other. "Where's Ella, Anna?" I asked. "She's visiting her father. My mom and dad are with her." she said. I nod. "You still don't want to talk to me huh?" She asked sadly. "No I don't. Especially now." I said and step out from behind Belle. I put her behind me.
"Brandon.....I-" she started. "No Anna I don't want to hear it. You ruined a perfectly good marriage. You broke up a family. All though I'm glad you did because the woman who lost her husband because of you, is now my girlfriend. But that still doesn't make it right. I told you not to. I told you to stay away. Your nothing but a home wrecker and I don't want you near my family." I spat at her. Everything hit me all at once. It was Belle's husband she took. Ben's father.
"Brand-" she tried again. "No! Leave Anna. Now. And take that dead beat with you." I spat. "Who are you calling a deadbeat?" he said angrily. "You. You signed away you rights to see your son because you knocked up a whore junkie." I said. "Now leave. And stay away from my son or I'll call the police." I spat. "Ben's not your son." he spat back. "According to the adoption papers I signed this morning, yes he is." I said. I was lying but I do plan on adopting Ben. "That's impossible!" he yelled. "No it's not! You signed away your rights to him when you signed the paper that gave Belle full custody of him! I didn't need your signature to adopt him! You had already given up your rights! Now leave before I call the police!" I yelled back.
I fell Belle starting to rub my back in a calming way. It helped a little bit. I shut the door in there faces. I turn to Belle. "How did you know her and what was that about?" Belle asked. "Anna used to be my best friend. Than she started doing drugs and whoring around. She cleaned up when she found out she was pregnant by a drug dealer named Richey. She was 6 months pregnant when she met your husband. I told her not to date him or get involved. She obviously didn't listen. I stopped talking to her years ago. I refuse to be around someone who is like that. What I'm about to say is mean but I meant what I said. I am glad she took your husband away from you. Because if she didn't we wouldn't be together and I wouldn't be a father." I said while putting my hand on her stomach.
She smiles. "You know, I am too. I wouldn't give up this for anything." She said and puts her hand on mine. I smile and kiss her lips. It was quick. Lasted maybe 3 seconds but it was sweet. "Can you go get the kids? Dinner's ready." Belle asked. I nod and move my hand and kiss her forehead. I walk across the living room to the hallway. I walk down it and stopped at the room I heard noise at. I swing the door the rest of the way open and see Ben and Bre playing with Legos. "Kids dinner is ready." I said.
They smile and put the toys away and Ben goes to a door in his room. He opens and reveals a bathroom. Bre follows him and they wash their hands. "Uncle Don Don you have to wash your hands too." Bre said. I roll my eyes. "If I must." I sighed in dramatically. They giggled and I wash my hands with them. Then they run to the kitchen and sit down at the table. "Your hands washed?" Belle asked. They nod and Belle gives them their food. They dig in. "I washed my hands too. They made me." I said pouting jokingly and fold my arms across my chest like a child. Everyone busts out laughing and I join them.
I sit down and Belle hands me a plate with food on it. We eat and joke around for the rest of the time. Soon it was time for the kids to go to bed. Bre had fallen asleep on Ben's bed. I pick her up and carefully put her in the car and kiss Belle goodnight. She smiles and goes back inside. I smile back and get in my car and leave. I get to my house a few minutes later and put Bre in her bed. I strip down the my boxers and lay in bed. I fall asleep daydreaming of Belle and our children.
