What did I just see? Babies 18 & 19 part 2/3

Warning: There is a bit of language in this here post. If you don't like that, don't read it.
(sorry for the lack of pictures in the beginning)

Becks P.O.V

"Well maybe we should go back to your house and talk about it there"
Eliza stood up

"it would be a bit more private and I know that your going to cry"

I gave Eliza a mean look, and Aimee laughed

"why don't we go back to your house and have a sleepover!!"
Aimee excitedly suggested

I ran over and hugged Aimee
"Thats a great idea bbg!!"

Eliza rolled her eyes. I could tell that she was jealous of my friendship with Aimee. I know I should be trying harder to repair my relationship with my older sister, but we missed so much of each others lives its hard to understand her.

Aimee understands me completely. I guess her being a challenge mother automatically makes us closer as friends. I read her mothers challenge before the accident, and I understand what it's like losing your family, even if I don't remember much.


we got home and we quickly changed into our pajamas. 


Aimee dragged all of the pillows in the house and the big plush toys from the nursery into my room, and we got comfy. 
Me and Aimee cuddled up on the pillows and Eliza in front of us.


"so your sure you want to know?"
"Positive" I nodded my head and Aimee cuddled into a plush giraffe toy.


"ok"


~*~*~*~
Eliza's P.O.V


"Mom (Cherry Best) and dad (Robert Best) never told me how they met, but I knew that they loved each other.


I was around 3 when you were born. 
Dad loved you more than anything, except me and mom of course.
You were his purple haired angel and he would do anything for you.


When you were 3 and I was 6, mom told us that she was expecting another baby.
I remember dad almost passing out when he heard, and i ran to mom to try and feel the baby.

mom laughed. It was a really happy time for our family. With the new baby coming, mom and dad spent more time with us then they ever did before, and we grew closer as a family.

Mom was about 8 months along when she  left to visit her family in Appaloosa Plains. She hugged and kissed us all before getting into the taxi.





The taxi driver was under the influence of alcohol, and they were both killed in a crash."

Becks eyes were tearing up and Aimee passed her the giraffe and hugged her.

 For the first time, I was happy that Becks had a friend like Aimee, and I hoped that one day me and her could be just as close.

"We were all devastated. Dad tried to be strong, but I caught him crying when he was alone, and whenever you asked where mommy was he would hold you close and sob.

you were probably 12 when dad brought home the woman that he started dating 7 years after mom's death.
Her name was Hanna Ice, and he seemed really in love with her.


You and I were happy for daddy, because it was the first time in 9 years that he seemed genuinely happy.
Hanna seemed nice, and you wanted to be friends with her. One day, when daddy was running errands, you went over to talk to Hanna. "Hanna, are you going to be our new mommy?"


Hanna started yelling at you. "I don't want you frickin' kids around!! All you do is whine and remind Robert of his wife! I want to be the only girl in his life so fuck off!!"


You had never been yelled at like that before and it scared you.
I heard what was going on and I lashed out at Hanna.
"Bitch! Dad will never love you as much as he loved mom!! Especially after I tell him what you said!!"


Hanna reached out and slapped me across the face and you screamed.
"that all you got whore?" I wasnt giving up that easy.

I winced as she reached out her hand, expecting to be slapped or worse, but she grabbed you.
"It would be too bad if something happened to Roberts precious daughter.... I mean, if you punched her, it would just be too bad"
Your eyes widened and I looked at her shocked.

"You wouldn't!" I was scared
"Just watch me." 
I watched in horror as Hanna hit you, and you screamed

Hanna threw you back at me and hissed
"remember Beckah,  Eliza hit you not me"
The fear in your eyes was evident.

"and you bitch" Hanna looked at me. "If you deny hitting your sister, I will hit her again!"
Hanna left the room and I hugged you and cried.
"its ok Becks, she wont hurt you anymore"





Dad of course got home and saw your black eye, blamed me and I accepted the blame. That wasnt the only bad thing that happened that night. At supper, Hanna announced that she was pregnant with dads baby. Dad was so happy.

 It killed us both inside to see him happy with that monster.


Thats the last time I saw him happy. Later that night he died in his sleep, apparently he just stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating."


~*~*~*~


Becks P.O.V


"Thats what happened to mom and dad Becks, i'm so sorry"
Eliza finished. I had so many questions!! But I knew she wouldnt tell me more


I was crying into Aimee's shoulder and she was stroking my head


Eliza stood up. 
"I have to go now Becks. Darwin wants me home."


I pulled myself together and stood up to hug Eliza.
"Thanks for telling me"
"No problem sis, now, how bout you and Aimee enjoy the rest of the night and just have some fun, ok?"


"Alright! bye"
"bye Becks, bye Aimee"


Eliza left and it was just Aimee and me.

"So......."
Aimee had something on her mind.

"So...... what?"
Aimee looked nervous
"Becks, do you think I should go visit my mom in Appaloosa Plains?"

"What?" I coughed to hide my surprise.
"Of course! Why would you hesitate?"

Aimee played with her hands in her lap

"Its just... I don't know if seeing me again will make her memory better or worse..."

I looked at her

"I doubt it would make it worse, but why are you afraid of it getting better?"

"Well, just think of the grief she would feel. she lost 19 of her kids including her unborn baby! Maybe it would be best for me just to stay away and let her be oblivious."

I sighed. Poor Aimee. Poor Kylie. It would be hard for Aimee to go back to Appaloosa Plains and see where she used to live, where all of her siblings died, But something told me she had to go back.

"I know what it feels like to loose your memory, and trust me, its MUCH worse not knowing and being happy compared to knowing and being sad."

Aimee's eyes sparkled

"Ok, I'll do it!"



Jed's P.O.V


Eliza had left 10 minutes ago, and I headed to our room where her and Aimee were to see if they wanted anything. 
I was just about to knock on the door when I heard Aimee
"You sure you can do this?"
"Anything for you BBG"



I cracked open the door and saw Becks sitting on Aimee's lap kissing her!




"Thanks so much Becks! I feel so much better now!"
"No problem, girl"
"Love you!"
"Love you too"




I closed the door as quickly as I could without them hearing me and lay down on a bed in the boys room
"That didn't just happen.... " I muttered under my breath....


My wife just kissed her best friend  


~*~*~*~


Thank's so much to Annu for the great ideas!! 
this story line will be mentioned in her blog, 100 bundles of joy for Aimee

I Still Love You ♥



"Damn, its hot today" I took off my dress shirt and stuffed it into my bag, along with my jacket and tie that had come off before the meeting started. "you would think that after living here for 5 years you would get used to the heat" I mumbled to myself as I got in my convertible. 


The radio automatically tuned into the nearest station, 76.9 HITSfm and the song The One That Got Away started blaring through the speakers. I'd heard the song before on the old radio at work, but had never actually gotten to the chance to really listen to the lyrics.

Summer after high school when we first met
We made out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on 

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price

 I slammed my fist into the off button before pulling over on the side of the desert road and putting my head in my hands. "Get over yourself Keenan. Your not going to see her again, and she was never meant to be with you. Cut this shit out." 

the truth was, I would never get over that girl. She was my soul mate, my other half, but fate just wouldn't let me have her. 

I started up the engine of my car and turned around, heading towards the bistro.

 I walked into the bistro and ordered a coffee, before heading outside to drink it. Without paying attention I took a huge gulp "DAMN" the hot coffee seared my tongue. I tossed the paper cup and the remainder of the coffee into the garbage. 

I looked out at the sun setting beyond the red sand hills, and the memories were so vivid it hurt.

 Riding bike together, swimming, lounging at the beach.  All of the good times  we had together. I cursed under my breath. "Your not making this any easier on yourself Keenan, its been 5 whole freaking years. Why cant you just forget her?" 

A couple of people glanced at me, the crazy cop and I thought for a minute that they had heard me talking to myself. I turned away and realized that they were looking at me because I still had my shirt off. Typical. 

At home in the shower the ice cold water sent shivers through my body. The shock of the cold water on my hot skin tried to imitate the way I felt when I was with her, touching her, kissing her, but it was never the same.


 I crawled into bed and looked at the few pictures of me and her I had on my desk. 

"Becks...." I whispered. "I still love you".

This Can't Be It...... Babies 18 & 19 Part 1 of 3

Becks P.O.V

The bridal shop was beautiful!
I was so excited to be here, preparing for one of the most important days of my life

My sister Eliza's wedding.

Wedding dress shopping was a big deal for Eliza and she needed back up. That would be me. The maid of honor. Eliza also insisted that her back up needed back up, so here I was with my best friend Aimee Ryan (Amiee is a challenge mother too! Read her challenge here!!)

"How 'bout this one Becks?"
Eliza stepped out in a poofy ball gown, with pale blue trim

"I dunno.... I think that something a bit more form fitting would be nicer on you"
It did look beautiful, but I wanted her to look a bit more mature. I mean, she is older than me.


"does that have pockets!!" Aimee looked appalled! Your wedding dress can't have pockets!!!"
That settled it for Eliza.
"ok next one "


Eliza stepped out from behind the curtain in a gothic looking corseted dress with lace print and of course, pale blue trim.

"how about this one?"

" I like it, but it seems a bit too sexy for a wedding don't cha think? "
It was a nice dress but I could tell that Eliza and Aimee were not that impressed.

"hmmmm" Eliza inspected her self in the dress
" it makes my butt look big too"

Aimee giggled and I glared at her.
"ok next!"


Eliza tried on about 5 more dresses before she tried on one that Aimee picked out.
She stepped out in the lace dress with an open back and I started to tear up.


"it's so beautiful!! If only dad could see me now, all grown up"
Eliza dropped to her knees and started to sob.

Aimee was quite alarmed but stayed seated as I kneeled on the floor next to Eliza.

"shhh Eliza, it's ok. I'm sure he can see you and he is probably crying too" I slowly talked to Eliza.

Tears were rolling down my face... every time I think of them, broken memories flash through my head
Mom

Dad


Eliza

The whole time something in my head is saying
'But this can't be it!'


" your right Becks, I need to be strong "
Eliza and I stood up just as the consultant walked into the room.
"so dear," she said "is this the dress?"
Eliza looked at me and I smiled, while Amiee gave her a huge 2 thumbs up

"yes. This is my dress"

Aimee and I cheered and we left the bridal shop with smiles on our faces.

~*~*~*~

"you know... I could really go for a hot dog right now" I was in the first trimester of my pregnancy and I was starved.
Aimee laughed and put her arms around my stomach.
" you or the baby?!?"



Eliza laughed as well and we headed into the food stop to get something to munch on.

When I finished eating, I asked Eliza something I've been wanting to ask her for a long time. Something that has been bothering me since Eliza came to my house that night.
"Eliza, what happened to mom and dad"

Eliza's looked at me, her bright blue eyes like sad little puddles.
" are you sure you want to know?"

"positive"

"well......."
