The Hospital Boy

[18] Finally Reunited

**Isabella's POV**

We landed in California around 9:10 am. We were only late by 10 minutes, which is fine. Harmony was wide awake and I was carrying her. "It's a lot warmer here than New York Issybella." she told me. I smiled and nodded at her, "Yeah it is. California and New York have very different weather." I told her.

I placed Harmony down, as she ran to the weather. She saw an airplane and started to pretend to be one. She basically entertained herself until Jacob scoped her up. "Is your dad almost here?" he said while placing the luggage down. "Yeah, he's on his way. He said that he'll meet us inside. We can just wait by the window. Harmony seems to be entertained by that." I told him.

We walked over to the seats and Harmony just stands by the window. She grabs her teddy bear and pretends its a child. We waited until my dad arrived. I have no memory of him, but Jacob does of his mom.

A lady and a man both walked over to out direction. Jacob stood up as Harmony looked his way. I stood up as well and they walked up to us. "Jacob, you gotten so big," the lady told Jacob. I stood awkwardly in the back. "Isabella?" the man told me. I sighed as I looked at him. He looked so much like me. "D-dad?" He nodded his head, "Yes it's me your father. May have I hug please?"

I started to cry as I ran up to him and hugged him tightly. My father, my own blood, finally in front of me, hugging me. I continued to cry as we hugged each other.

We hugged and cried together. I didn't wanna let go of him. 14 years of not seeing or hearing from him, makes a girl very emotional. I pulled away a bit as I wiped my face. "Good thing I didn't wear makeup." I said. My dad chuckled and so did I.

My dad and Jacob's mom switched places. "So you're the famous Isabella you're dad talks about. Nice to finally meet you sweatheart." She smiled at me and hugged me. I smiled weakly as I hugged her back. She smelled like my mom.

I pulled away from her quickly as I looked at her, "Are you wearing my mom's perfume...." I told her. She nodded, "Yeah. Your dad gave it to me." she told me. She wanted to grab me but I pulled away.

I was mad, I wanted to cry. "Isabella, what's wrong?" my dad asked me. I shook my head as my eyes filled with tears. Jacob placed his hands on me, "Isabella are you okay?" I started to cry, "I shouldn't have came here. My dad gave my mom's perfume away! Anything else you gave away dad?" I told him.

Jacob's mom tried to calm me down, "Sweetie, calm down. That's all he gave me. I can give it back, it's no big deal. Look," she took off the jacket and placed it on the floor. "That's the only place I put the perfume. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

Everyone was staring at me. I handed her back the jacket, "Can we just leave please." I said. My dad grabbed my suitcase, Jacob placed his arm around me. I walked to the car, it was a really huge car. I picked up Harmony, because she couldn't reach the step.

"Is there a carseat she can sit on?" Jacob asked. "Yes," his mom answered, "I knew Harmony would need one, so I bought one." she said while opening up the car door. The carseat was in the middle. I placed Harmony in it, as I buckled her up and then got into the car.

The drive to their place was quite fun. I decided to text Stephanie so she won't miss her flight. She didn't want to wake up early. So she's gonna come later tonight.

"So, Isabella." my dad asked. "Any boyfriends in your life?" I got embassed, "Yeah. I dated this guy named Josh for 3 years, cheated on me with a cheerleader. Then I was dating Jacob for a good month, before we found out you guys are getting married." I told him. Jacob's mom looked back at me, "I'm so sorry sweetie. I didn't know this. I feel awful."

I shook my head, "It's no biggie at all Ms...." I paused cause I didn't know her last name. She smiled, "Ms. Jean. But please call me Elizabeth." I nodded my head while smiling back.

We got to this huge gate, I looked out the window. It opened up as the drove this street. [if you seen the Last Song, you know what I'm talking about] These beautiful trees everywhere, made me want to stick my head, so I did. I rolled out the window and I stuck my head up. 

"How long has it been since you've last been here Isabella?" Elizabeth told me. I kept my head out and then I looked at her, "Since I was 2 and I'm turning 16 in 6 days." I told her. We got to the house and I legit couldn't stop staring. The house was HUGE! It looks like the houses in Texas. They are really big. 

"Dad..." I said, "Where do you work at?" I said with amazement in his eyes. He looked at me and then at the road, "That's a secert. No one knows, not even your mom." he looked at Elizabeth when he said 'your mom' "She's not my mom... My mom is Anne... the woman who gave birth to me... and lost her life to a heart attack...." I told him as my smile faded. Elizabeth extended her arm to reach my leg. She placed her hand on my leg, "Call me whatever makes you happy. Elizabeth, mom, step mom, monster, I don't care. I want you happy because I know the stress you went through as a child." she told me. 

I don't know if she's doing this because my dad is rich and she's just kissing up to him or she's actually really nice.
