Falling For You

Chapter six: meeting

"Bella, I promised Kaylin you would take her out today, is that possible?" Harry asked. "Of course. But, take her out where?" I replied. "Out to lunch. I promised her, and then we made a deal, and I am such a kiss up." He said. I laughed, and put my hand on his shoulder. "I'll take her out. I promise." I smiled. He sighed in relief. "Thank you. She was begging me all night last night. I don't know why, but she just loves you." He said. "Oh, gee, what a nice thing to say to me." I laughed. "I didn't mean it that way." He replied quickly. "Hey, calm down. I was kidding." I said. He nodded.

"So, where is the little bugger?" I asked. He looked at me. "Sleeping. Shocking." I answered. He laughed, and nodded. "Yeah, I don't know why she sleeps so late. She's like her mother." He replied. I tensed, and nodded. "So, um, how Shauna these days?" I asked. "I don't know. Haven't seen, or talked to her since the whole cheating thing." He replied. I nodded. "I'm sorry this must be really awkward for you." He said. Uh, confused! "You know, because we are like, a thing, and she was a thing. But now, she isn't, I'm just going to stop talking." He said. I laughed, and kissed his cheek.

"So, what time do you go to work?" I asked, making myself some coffee. "Soon, I have my secretaries at work right now, taking calls for me." He replied. "See, and that's why you're such a good father." I said. He smiled up at me, and looked back down to his newspaper. He looked back up at me, and just stared at me. "What?" I asked. "I never knew you wore glasses." He replied. "I normally don't. I was too lazy to put my contacts in this morning." I replied. He nodded. "Well, I think you look absolutely s-"

"Daddy!" Kaylin screamed. Harry and I both looked at each other, and ran up the stairs. I was trailing behind Harry, damn, he runs fast. "Daddy!" She screamed again. He moved faster up the stairs. Maybe if he didn't have her room on the fifth floor, we wouldn't have to run so much.

We got to her room, and she was sitting on her bed, hysterical crying. "Baby, what happened?" Harry asked, walking to her bed. "I had a bad dream. A very bad dream." She whispered. I walked to the bed, and sat down next to Harry. "Baby, it's alright." I soothed, putting my hand on her leg. She stopped crying, and hugged Harry tightly. "Baby, I've got to go to work." Harry said. "No. Daddy don't leave. Please don't leave." She cried, again. "I'm sorry baby. But Bella will take you out to lunch today." He said. She nodded, and dropped her head. "Alright, why don't you go downstairs, and we will go out?" I asked. She nodded, and got up.

"Alright, if she is feeling down all day, come and visit me." Harry said, once Kaylin was walking down the stairs. I nodded, and sighed. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I just... miss dancing." I sighed. He sighed, and pulled me into his chest. I held him tightly, and he sighed again. "One injury shouldn't reflect on anything." He said. "He didn't kick me out of the studio because of my injury. Well, he did, but there was another reason." I replied. "Which was?" He asked. "Okay, you can't flip out or anything." I said. "Just tell me." He replied. "He kicked me out... because... I wouldn't sleep with him." I said. I felt his muscles tense, and I saw the stern look on his face. "I have to go." He said suddenly. He let go of me, and walked past me.

"What do you want baby?" I asked, as we stood in line in Panera Bread. "I want the salad you get." She said. I nodded, and walked up to the register. "Can I have two chicken Cesar salads. And one... chicken noodle soup." I said. The guy nodded, and we waited. "Bella! Look!" Kaylin yelled. I looked to where she was pointing, and sitting at a table, was Shauna.

"Kaylin! Don't!" I yelled, but she was already half way to the table. The food came, and I smiled, and took it. I ran to the table, and dropped the food down. "Kaylin Elizabeth. Don't you ever do that again." I exclaimed. I turned to the table, and looked at Shauna. "Isabella." She said, with a smile. "Shauna." I replied. "Kaylin, daddy said we can stop by." I said. She nodded, and looked across the table. Sitting in a chair, was a little girl, about three years old, and a baby, that was really little. "You have a kid. Or kids." I stated. She nodded. "Please don't tell Harry. I don't want him knowing I got pregnant while we were still together." She said. "Shauna, I have to tell him." I replied.
