1850 Tristian's Story

The Question

5 months have passed by since the wedding we have been busy preparing for the baby. It has been about 5 months since we last saw Eliza and Edward, they sent us letters as they extended their honeymoon they were traveling around Ireland. Today is the day they return Anna was sitting in the window waiting, I sat on the coach reading a book by a young lady.

I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare the food Anna spent all morning baking, I then heard a carriage coming up the drive I ran to the front door as I got to the door Anna just got up from the window seat it takes her a bit longer due to the pregnancy. I opened the door and as I opened the door Eliza was already at the door. She sees me and then looks at me and says "Tristian", with a big smile on her face and then she gives me the biggest hug that made me feel like she was going to strangle me. As she let go, she sees Anna and immediately goes to hug her and ask her if she can touch her stomach. I turn to see Edward and shake his hand. We went into the lounge and they discussed about their honeymoon and told us that we should visit Ireland and see all the green senary.

I decided to leave them be and go to my study to carry on with my work I had to get complete. Edward left 30 minutes ago to go see his parents. The work I was doing was a novel about our lives I have told Anna about it and explained I want to leave it for our child as they wont be able to understand what happens to us cause of this curse that is on us.

I love the life we go cause even with this curse I try not to look at the negative and try to see the positive and if that means living every new life and only get 4 years with Anna remembering who I am then that's what I take. it only hurt knowing my child will be growing up with out me and their mother. As I am writing down the notes, I could hear a scream coming from the living room. I jumped out and ran as fast as I could Anna and Eliza was sitting still talking they looked at me puzzled, Eliza said "are you ok Tristian", I nodded and then replied "did you scream", Anna they said "tell him", what are they going to tell me Eliza looked at me and the stood up and said "have you noticed anything different about me". I looked at her think what the hell she on about, but I notice she is holding her stomach. I said" your pregnant" she smiles and nods, I could not believe my little sister having a baby. We hugged and celebrated over tea and cake obviously they cannot drink I'll wait till Edward comes back to toast she was 3 months.

Edward arrived back while the girls went to bed and I was in my study still writing I heard the door and shouted, "Edward I'm in the study", he came in and dropped in the chair and says "I cannot believe I spent 2 hours at my families house watching my mom cry that I'm home", all I did was laugh I got up and walked over to the bar and got 2 whiskeys for me and Edward and said "I believe a congratulations are in order", he smiles and said "so she told you then", I told him how I found out and we laughed about it and then he said "I had to let her tell you on your own as of how close you and her are", I nodded then Edward had his drink and said good night I carried on with the work I was doing and then come about 12am I packed up and made my way to bed.

The next morning, I woke up and I thought it be nice to take everyone out for a picnic, so I ran downstairs and told the cook that works in the morning to make a picnic basket. Then I went in the dining area where everyone had just come down and I told them the plans for the day, and they were all on board. The only issue is we could not go far cause of Anna. So, I picked a place local and we went there. We sat at the park and just spoke about everything that has gone on over the pass few months. As the ladies made their way back to the house me Edward said we will walk back and meet them there.

As we started walking back, we could hear voices around us calling our name "Tristian, Edward", in whispers, I asked Edward "can you hear that", he replied "yes shall we investigate". I nodded and then we walked off the road. We went down a side path next to the house and with bushes leading all the way down as we got to the end there was someone standing with their back to me and Edward. This person was medium height that is all we could see as the person had a cloak on covering from top to bottom. That's when the person turned around, I could not believe it was Rebekah she looked fine her blonde hair at side of her head coming out of the hood, Me and Edward was cautious and that's when she said "hello boys, long time I last seen you". Edward said, "what do you want now", she then got annoyed and said, "that's no way to talk to a women who might be able to give you an out Edward". We looked at each other and I said, "what you mean", she snapped back at me and said, "not you just Edward and Eliza". He looked puzzled and that is when she explained "cause you and Eliza can live happily ever after with your future children I will give you until next week to decide Friday", she walked off.

Edward turned to me and said, "what do I do", I could not believe she gave them an out from the mess that happened. I told him to talk Eliza and see what she says. We made our way back to the house. We walked down the path I said to Edward "do what's best for you and Eliza but decide this together". He looked at me like he did not know what to say, we entered the house Eliza and Anna was sitting in the lounge area. Anna said, "where you both been", Edward explained to them what happened. Eliza and Anna looked at us both. I walked over to Anna and gave her a hug and Edward was pulled by Eliza to sit by her. I told Eliza to do what is best for her and Edward and their baby. Anna and I went to bed by this time after talking to Eliza and Edward about it, but the decision was theirs. 

The decision was theirs and theirs only, Anna got into bed I could see her ready to cry, so I got in the bed and gave her a cuddle and holding her until she fell asleep. At least she knew we had someone who could take care of our child, just must wait until next Friday.
