Time Of My Life, chapter 30
***Abby's pov***
My baby Jack was now two years old. Looking back over the years time had flown. Mike had spent two years of Jack's life with him getting to know him and they got on great. They were out at the park with Matthew and Emma. I was putting dinner out for them on the table when they came running in.
"Hey mommy!" said Jack giving me a kiss
"Hey aunt Abby!" said Matthew hugging me
"Hi Abby" said Emma also hugging me
"Hi guys! Did you have fun at the park?" I asked them
"Yeah it was fun uncle Mike went erm down the slide it was so funny when he got stuck" said Matthew laughing
"You got stuck?" I asked laughing at Mike
"Yes I got stuck it's not funny so don't laugh at me!" he said turning away embarrassed. I still laughed
"Well dinner is ready so wash your hands and come sit down" I told them all and they ran off to the bathroom. I went over to Mike and gave him a long kiss
"Eww mommy and daddy do that!" said Matthew wrinkling his nose in disgust
"Do they? Well all mommy's and daddy's do it now sit down and eat!" I told them all and that they did.
About an hour later they were all playing with toys before they went to bed. I had them all tonight because Matthew would not stop without Emma and Matthew had to stop because Billie Joe and Rebecca wanted some alone time.
I put Jack up to bed first and then half and hour I put Matthew and Emma to bed in the spare room. I went downstairs and watched a movie with Mike. When we went to bed I checked on everyone and when I checked on Matthew and Emma, Emma had moved into Matthew's bed. Aww so sweet I thought. Perhaps she had a bad dream. Without a further thought I went to bed.
I was awoken the next day when I heard the kids playing downstairs. I pulled on some clothes and went down and made some coffee. I sat down and watched them play for a while before making breakfast.
*Rebecca's pov*
I awoke at 2:00am to puke. I felt ill=. I had not been asleep very long either. Me and Billie Joe had some alone time together so we made the best of it. We had fallen asleep at about 1:00am so I was puzzled as to why I was puking. I went back to bed and fell asleep only to be awoken with a wave of nausea again at 6:00am. When I awoke at 10:00am again I got up and went downstairs leaving Billie on his own. I lay on the couch and wrapped a blanket around me. I turned on mtv I was so tired I just ended up falling asleep. I felt the couch sink down beside me and I saw Billie laying his next to mine.
"Hey Billie Joe" I said giving him a kiss
"Hi what's wrong? Why didn't you stay in bed?" he asked concerned
"I kept waking up to be sick so I came down at 10:00am and watched t. V and I was so tired I must have fallen asleep." I told him
"Are you sick honey?" he asked me stroking my forehead
"I must be I'll just rest a bit more and I will be fine" I told him.
"Ok sweetie. Would you like a coffee?" he asked kissing my forehead.
"No thanks I am just going to go back to sleep" I told him.
"Ok" he said putting his arm around me. I put my head on his chest and fell asleep against his warm body.
* a week later Rebecca 's pov"
I was sleeping when I awoke at 2:00am again. This had been routine for a week now. Around 2:00am I would wake up and puke. I was starting to get worried. I went back to bed and Billie wrapped his arms around me
"What's wrong honey is there something you are not telling me?" he asked looking concerned
"No there's not I promise I don't know what's wrong" I told him although, I was starting to have my doubts. I lay there with his arms wrapped around me. I heard him snoring softly. I talked to him even though he was sleeping. Sometimes I find it easier to tell people how I am feeling when they are sleeping.
"I am not sure Billie but I think I maybe. Please if we are support me. You are a great father to Matthew and I hope you will be to our new baby that is if I am... Pregnant. I told you I thought I was just sick but now I don't think I am. I think I will leave early and get a test just to be sure" why am I telling him this while he is sleeping? Oh well I should probably sleep before I am awoken again and with that I fell off to sleep.
When I did awake Billie Joe was downstairs giving Matthew his breakfast.
"Hey honey where are you going?" he asked
"I heard you talking to me about something last night but I can't remember what was it?" he asked again. Holy crap. He had heard. He was finding out anyway. I may as well tell him.
"BillieIthinkIampregnantagain" I blurted out quickly.
"What? Tell me slowly come here sit down" he said gesturing to his knee. I sat down and he put his arms around me.
"Now what is it?" he whispered in my ear. I started to cry. He rubbed my back.
"I am not going to be angry no matter what it is just tell me." he said soothingly.
"I-I-I think I may be pregnant again" I told him. His face dropped in a state of confusion.
"Why is that such a bad thing? It is mine isn't it?" he asked rather annoyed.
"Billie Joe I can't believe you would even suggest that!" I yelled at him.
"I don't know I have been away a lot recently it could easily have happened!" he yelled back.
" You said you would not get angry no matter what! You know what I'm not listening to this I'm leaving" I said and I got on the first jacket I pulled off the hook and walked out into the cold winter air.
*Billie's pov*
What the fuck have I just done? I know she wouldn't cheat on me so why did I just do that? I put Matthew in the car and searched around for hours. I looked at Abby and Mike's I looked at Tre and Kailey's I looked everywhere but I couldn't find her. What do I do?
"Where is mommy?" asked Matthew when bedtime came and she still wasn't home.
"She has just gone out she will be home in the morning" I told him
"You promise?" he asked. I looked at him. He was missing his mother. I did something I wasn't sure was true.
"I promise. Good night Matthew" I said kissing him
"Good night daddy" he said as I closed the door.
Only problem was. I was wrong. She wasn't home by morning. I went out and searched again for her but no luck. I searched all day and returned home only when night deprived me of my vision.
"Daddy you promised!" said Matthew angrily
"I know son but daddy was wrong. I am sorry but we have to stick together till mommy comes home ok?" I told him.
"Ok daddy. Will she be home soon?" he asked. This time I told him the 100% truth it wasn't exactly an answer but it was good enough for him.
"I hope so Matt I hope so" and with that I switched out his bedroom light and went to bed.
It had been three days and there was still no sign of Rebecca. There was only one thing left to do and that was to report her missing. That is exactly what I did. They said they would do all they could to help but would it be enough. I rang her cell phone and left messages but I got no reply.
It had been almost two weeks and everyone was worried sick. Matthew cried himself to sleep for his mommy every night. I had even left this as message for Rebecca hoping it would bring her back but, no luck so far. It was a week before Christmas and I had got all the stuff she wanted for Matthew and I had even gotten her some presents because I had a tiny bit of hope she would return.
"Daddy is mommy ever coming back?" asked Matthew. I looked at him. Was his fragile mind too young to tell him what I really thought? I told him what I did think it was only fair after all.
"I don't know son. I don't think she is but I am sure where ever she is she will be thinking of you" I told him. He looked so hurt. We went to bed not knowing what to expect.
When I awoke I picked the post up off the door mat and looked at it. There was a letter addressed to Matthew in handwriting a immediately recognised. It read :
Dear Matthew,
I am away at the moment. Mommy needs some time to think by herself. I can't tell you where I am because I know daddy will be reading this to you. I am thinking of you all the time and I miss you very much I just hope, you are missing me just as much. I will be home if I can come back I will see you again Matthew I promise. Love you always,
Mommy
