Chapter 04: The Forks House

               The will reading was eventful. Adam left the house in Seattle to Phillip, and Mary-Anne left a house in Forks amd a lot of cash to Wynonna, Eliza, and Nigel. Adam split his belongings with his siblings and his only living parent, his mom. Eliza and Nigel are still left in Nona's custody.

                 Wynonna and the kids are at the Forks house now. It's a two story, three bedroom house. The outside is made of red brick and has a fence and shrubs around the yard. The grass is really green bevauxe it rains a lot in Forks... The a lot of rain reminds Nona of Seattle.

                 Nona puts her little sister into her play pin while Nigel sits on the couch that the movers just unloaded and set up. The movers are unpacking and setting things up. Wynonna is calling her maternal uncle Charlie, he couldn't make it to the funeral because his daughter was moving to town at the time.

              "Hello?" Charlie says over the phone, he's still emotional over the loss of his sister.

         "Uncle Charlie, it's Wynonna," Nona says. "The kids and I are in Forks now."

           "Mary left you the house, huh?" Charlie asks and Billy Black's face falls at the mention of his high school girlfriend and Charlie's sister. "Nigel and Liza are with you?"

           "I have custody of them now," Wynonna replies as she looks at the kids. "Mom left me the house and some money, uncle Charlie."

             "Bella wants you to visit," Charlie says. "She told me when you called to tell me about Mary and Adam dying."

               "I'll visit soon," Wynonna replies. "I want to find a reliable sitter for Nigel and Eliza for when I get a job. I'm going to make them savings accounts they can open at twenty-one with the money mom left. I'm gonna get a job."

              "I'll check around in La Push for a baby sitter for the kiddos," Charlie states. "But you better bring them by later when school lets out. I want to see all of ya."

              "I will, uncle Charlie, I gotta go," Wynonna says and she hangs up. "Nigel, wanna go see uncle Charlie later?"

         Nigel's brown eyes brighten and he nods. "Yeah!" He exclaims. "I miss uncle Charlie."

           "Uncle Charlie misses us, too," Wynonna replies. "We might have to stay there tonight. I will get us some lights and heat on here tomorrow. Is that ok, Nig?"

            "That's fine, Nona," Nigel replies. "I like it here."

           Wynonna looks out the open door at the misty rain. "So do I, kid. So do I."

             Nigel jumps from the couch and he walks over to the play pen to play with Eliza. Eliza squeals loudly as she jumps up and down, her feet still on the mat of the playpen and her hands holding onto the sides. Nigel smiles at his sister's happiness. Both the six year old and eighteen year old are holding it together for Eliza.

               Charlie picks up Nigel as soon as the kid runs up to him. Bella is holding Eliza, who keeps pulling at her hair. Wynonna smiles at her siblings with her maternal uncle and cousin.

             "I'm glad I'm here in Forks," Wynonna admits. "It's homey."

"Forks was always home sweet home for Mary-Anne," Charlie admits as Bella carries Eliza upstairs and Nigel goes to play with a stuffed elephant Charlie brought down from the article. "And now its home to her kids. I'm gonna go make a call about the baby sitter for you. Sit down and relax."

That night, Charlie cleans out the guest room beside his own for Wynonna and the kids before he goes to the station. Eliza and Nigel both sleep in the bed wirh Nona that night while Bella tells Renee that Wynonna is in town.
