The Love that Hasn't show: Time isn't a problem

Bella

After Aunt Chloe left the room, Eli came in.

"How are you feeling?" He asked

"Fine." I lied, now I think about it, Aunt Fishy knows me too well.

"Bridgette told me about that guy." He said, "So don't stuff me with the 'I'm fine' face, because you definitely feels anything but fine."

"So you know." That all I said, now there's going to be another person that looks at me differently.

"Hey, you're still the same girl I talk to in jail, you're still the girl that bake Mia a cake that looks like ice cream, I'm not going to look at you differently."

"Really?" I ask

He held my hand, "Remember, whatever that guy said to you, it's not true, you are way more than what he thinks, and one day, there will be a guy that loves you show up and make you feel like you're more than everything in the world. He will heal all of your wounds and he will replace the bad memories with the good one. He'll complete your dream of life and family, and he'll walk to the end of your life with you."

"Thank you." I told him

"For what?" He looked at me puzzled

"Everything." I smile, I definitely feel something, but it's probably not important, I mean, he only look at me as a little sister.

-

"I'm not going to ask you how you doin, because there must be too many people asking you this." Uncle Arthur said as he sit down beside me.

"Then what do you want to ask me?"

"I have no idea." He shrugs, "You are stubborn like your dad."

"Thanks, even though Ma's even more stubborn than him."

"Nah, she wasn't usually like this." He said, "Not until married to your dad."

"Love changes people." I said

"Yeah, we never excepted Poo-ny to change into a nuts though." He sigh, "You are like her in so many way when she's 22. Helen is so much like her now, Paris and Willow is like the one that's not like her the way you two are."

"I'm twenty four and I haven't found my Daniel." I said to him, "like Ma did when she was twenty two."

"Bella." He look at me, "Love hasn't come doesn't mean it never will, because time is never a problem."

"How do you know it's the right one?" I asked

"Everyone feels love the different way." He said, "like your mom, she feel carefree around your dad. Your Uncle Kyle feels like he found a person that makes the house not that lonely anymore. Helen feel like she found the last piece of puzzle that make  her whole. For Willow, there was no other possibility for her, it feels like two magnets that never want to come off. All love are different, but when it's right, it will feel right."

"What if someone didn't look at you the way you look at him?" I asked

"Then he's not the right one, because if he's the right one, he'll look you more than anything. More than the sky, the moon, the gold, the diamond."

"Thank you." I said

"Well, you are my favourite niece, but don't tell Helen that."

"You just said that to make me feel better."

"Nope, because you reminded me of Pony when she's most likeable."

"Don't let Ma heard that." I told him.

I got luck, the next two weeks, I haven't seen Travis at all.

You're asking me what am I doing now, well, I'm actually in the c-section right now, where they're cutting open my uterus and get the babies out.

I saw them, a boy and a girl

Welcome to this world, Lydia Grace Hope and Liam Kayden Hope.

Then I kind of fallen asleep, not my fault, I was tired.

-

The next time I woke up, everyone hugging the babies. Yeah, we have two new babies, can't anyone see that I'm up?

"You need water?" Eli sit down beside me, "or food?"

"Yeah, water is good." I said, "thanks."

"Well, the twins are healthy." He said as he pass me the water, then he turn to everyone, "Guys, Ella's up."

"Bell." Ma held Lydia to me, "see, she looks just like you."

"Hey, Lydia." I smile, "I'm your Aunt Bella."

"Thanks sis." Josh said as he hugs me, "for this."

"Can I have a minute along with the twins?" I ask, "Before you guys bring them home."

"Yeah." Eddy said, "We'll give you guys a minute."

All of them left the room.

"Hey little ones, When you two grow up, you can come to me with any problem." I smile, "I'll always be your cool Aunt Bell, and I'll always have a room for you two ready."

Eli

"And I'm really want to tell you two, I'm so happy to bring you two to this world, I know when you two grow up, people might look at you differently, but don't worry, none of us will be like that, I'll always be here when you need it." Bella said, "I'll always have your back. It'll be hard giving you two away, but don't worry, I'll always love you two."

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, okay, that's a lie, all of us just standing at the door trying to hear what she said to the twins.

It's hard giving babies away.

Mia just went in there, "Mia!" I call out.

"I want to hug the babies, all the adults don't let me," she said before the door closed, "They are my cousin."

Pony just laugh, "Nice kid."

"Sorry." I said

"Well, it's also our fault she didn't get to hug the babies, so don't apologize." She shrugs.

Pony is interesting.

Bella

"Hey Bella." Mia jump on my bed, "I want to hug the babies too, the adults didn't let me."

"Sure," I pass Lydia to her, "This is your cousin Lydia."

"Hey Lydia, I'm your oldest cousin Mia, don't worry about not having a mom, I don't have a mom too, besides, you guys got two dads, and I only have one."

"Mia, do you miss your mom?" I ask

"Yeah, I don't remember much about her, just bits and pieces." She said, "But I remember her hand, her smile, and how she told me she'll love me."

"Hey." Everyone walks in and take the babies.

"The hospital just clear the twins, so we'll be heading home soon." Josh said

"Bye, good luck with the twin." I said to them.

"I think we will need some." Eddy said as he give Josh a kiss on the forehead, "We'll get through this."
