My Terror Twin And I

How do i tell

"Shit" I sighed as I walked inside

"What's wrong?" Asked ben as he strolled in next to me

Charley stayed at a friends house over the weekend and was getting dropped home tonight at five thirty. She was seven years old and the most gorgeous girl ever.

"I need to talk to you" I sighed as I led ben to my kitchen table

I'd already had the test to see if Seth was the father and it was negative.

"Ben I don't know how to tell you this" I put my face in my hands and cried

Ben lifted my head and looked deep into my eyes

"Tell me scar" he smiled nervously

"Ben I have a child" I croaked

Bens face filled with confusion

"How old?" He asked

"She's seven"I replied awkwardly

Ben stopped for a second and his face dropped

"To your boyfriend from the end of year twelve or?" He trailed off

"The test was negative for him" I sobbed

"Could it have been anyone else?" He mumbled

"No ben.. The dates matched up.. The night of grad when I cheated with you..." I cried

"I'm a dad?" He gasped

"Yep" was all I could say before I started sobbing

"Does that guy know?" Ben bit his lip

"Yeah.. He left me right before I went into labour anyway" I choked through my tears

Ben sat there speechless for a few minutes before a giant grin plastered across his face

"I'm a dad" he smiled proudly

I smiled weakly at him.

"Tell me about her?" He smiled

"Well her name is Charlotte Hannah Harper, but I guess legally Charlotte Hannah Bruce. She has the same colour hair as you, it reaches her bum and it's pretty wavy at the bottom. She's as tall as my ribs and she's very smart. I call her charley. Her eyes are a deep green and she's gorgeous. She even likes bands, she begged me to take her to warped tour this year so I guess we're going to that" I giggled

I showed ben photos and his eyes teared up.

The doorbell rang. That would be Natalie my friend. She had a daughter, heather who was Charles best friend.

"Ben I want you to wait in the lounge while I get her okay ?" I smiled

Ben agreed

Charley had seen pictures of him and I together and said in her own words "mummy you looked so happy "

She was precious

I opened the door

"Natalie hello" I smiled giving her a hug. Heather and Charley were whispering to eachother and holding hands.

"Hi baby!" I laughed kissing her head

"Hi mummy, you look really pretty today" she giggled

"Hi heather" I smiled, giving heather a hug

"Hello Scarlett Thankyou for letting charley sleepover " she swooned

I said goodbye to the girls and shit the door

"Charley baby, do you remember the man that you've seen pictures of?" I asked, kneeling down to her level

"Yes mummy the one that made you look reaaaaaallly happy" she giggled

"Would you like to meet him?" I smiled

"Yes pleaseeeeeeeee" charley grinned

I held her hand and led her to ben

Ben was grinning like and idiot

"Hi charley I'm ben!" He smiled

"Hi ben!! Thankyou for making mummy happy" she giggled shyly and his behind my leg

"Making her happy was the best thing ever" ben giggled as he knelt to her level

"Um are you my daddy?" Charley mumbled awkwardly

"I am your daddy" ben smiled

Charles face dropped

"Where have you been daddy? All the other kids know their daddy's and I didn't know you" charley pouted

"Well daddy is in a famous band and daddy has been verrrrrry busy" ben gave a weak smile

"Wow!! What band ??!! I like bands!!" Charley giggled

"Asking alexandria" ben smiled

"MUMMY I HEARD THAT BAND FROM HEATHERS BIG SISTER AND I LIKED IT AND ITS REALLY GOOOOD!!" Charley grinned at me

Ben was grinning hugely

"Go tell daddy" I smiled

They were getting along great.

Ben and I sat in the sofa and charley sat in the floor. We all watched you story and ate pizza. It was such a wonderful night

"Daddy and mummy will you please put me to bed" yawned charley.

We each held her hand and lead her to her room.

For a seven year old she was pretty cool. She demanded band posters and band magazines and she even slept in one of my Attila shirts.

Her room was covered in band posters.

"Goodnight mummy" she yawned as I tucked her in

"Goodnight beautiful" I smiled, kissing her head

"Daddy are you going to leave again?" She pouted

Ben looked at me and then back at her

"Charley if your mummy will let me I'll stay around for as long as you want, I'll see you all the time" he promised, kissing her head

"I love you mummy I love you daddy" she yawned as she snuggled in to her bed

"I love you" ben and I both said at the same time

We strolled downstairs and plonked on the sofa.

"I'm a dad" ben smiled

"You're a dad" I giggled

Ben looked into my eyes and my heart skipped a beat.

A smiled grew on his face as he pulled me in for a cuddle. Ben stroked my hair gently

I turned to face him, our faces barely inches apart

"I've missed you so much" I admitted, looking into his eyes.

Without warning he kissed me, slowly and gently

I turned my body more towards him, I was basically sitting on his lap as we kissed.

His hands stroked my cheeks and one slowly found my hip

I wrapped my arms around his neck.

By now we were full on making out like high school kids again but gently, there was no lust, only passion

*charleys pov*

I hopped out of my bed and walked to the stairs.

Mummy and daddy were kissing on the chair.

I smiled a big smile.

Mummy missed daddy a lot, she always looked at his pictures a lot. I smiled before walking back to my room and snuggling in to sleep

*Scarlett's pov*

Ben and I were snuggled on the couch, just like old times.

"Ben please don't go" I begged

He kissed me gently on the head

"I'm not going anywhere Scar" he smiled

"Ben I never stopped loving you" I admitted, covering my face

"That's good because I was going to say the same thing" ben pulled my face up for a kiss.
