big news, really big news

[Isabella Parker]

[/i] Her hands started to tighten into fists. Shelby and Bella were decent friends, after all it had been such a long time ago and it, supposedly, wasn't her fault.

Bella wanted to make sure nothing happened this time. She looked at pictures of her and a few of her friends. One of her and Sage caught her eye and she smiled slightly. God, she missed Sage. Her pale blue eyes scanned over every detail of the picture, from Sage's huge grin to her stomach that sort of stood out. She looked at a few other pictures, some moving and some weren't.

When she found one that was from a few years ago, a grin replaced her smile. Ashlyn was looking down to her new baby sister with curious eyes and looked back up to her mum. This picture was moving of course. She looked at the baby in her daughters arms and put down the picture that brought her back to reality. Having a baby was nothing new, but it still made her nervous to know she was responsible for yet another life. If anything were to happen to this baby... Bella put her hands to her stomach by force of habit. Thoughts of losing Rayden made her eyes tear up. She promised that nothing was going to happen to this one.[/size][/ul]

[/b] Jack copied the noise of his lock on the car. Turning round to his house walking up the path, form the road with the trees swaying in the light breeze of the wind. A smile painted across his lips, bitting his lower lip softly. As he waved to Dillon who was upstairs in her room.

"Just another day at Hogwarts.." He said with a light laugh as he approached the door, placing his key inside of the lock and turning the key pushing the door open. Walking inside a placing his bag at the bottom of the stairs, the door swung shut. Looking out over the front room, which was in an open plan room off of the stairs, Jack smiled faintly at the sight of Bella. "Hey sexy.." He called out to her with a smile as he began to walk over to her.

His hands on her shoulders starting to give her a massage Jack kissed her lightly onto her forehead. "How have you been today then?" Jack asked her. "So glad It's Friday" Jack smile, rolling his head on his shoulders.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She looked back at the pictures before putting them all in a stack beside her. "Good, very good actually." Her smile became a little wider. "How was work?"

She pulled him down to sit next to her. It was peaceful outside and the kids were away in their rooms, actually being quiet for once. Bella laid her head on his shoulder and looked at the sky that was turning slightly orange. Usually it was rather hot, but during the afternoon it was cooler and by then the sun was setting. When better to tell him than now? "I love you." She put her hand on his and traced circles around the back of his hand with her index fingers.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her replying to her being well. Blowing some of his hair form his face Jack sat down next to her, her head onto his shoulder.

"It was good. No problem, did the class out side today. To bloody hot inside, we were all sweating like pigs." Jack told her with another laugh. With a small frown Jack replied. "I love you to Bell." Placing a hand under her chin lifting up her rosy face, from the hotness of the sun. Smiling into her glowing face Jack kissed her lightly onto the lips. Stroking under her chin lightly while standing up, he looked around at all the pictures. "What with the photo graphs Love?" He asked her walking over her legs and to the wine cabinet, taking out two glasses and a bottle of muggle white wine.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She tilted her head slightly, her mind flooded back to her years at Hogwarts. Her thoughts were interrupted by his response to her last statement. A smile crept back on to her lips when he kissed her and she began to kiss back, but he had already pulled away.

Bella looked back to the photos she had neatly stacked beside her, momentarily forgetting that she even had the out. "I just wanted to look at a few. Reminiscing on old times I suppose." She gave a small shrug and a frown took place of her smile when he stood up. "I was looking at pictures from when I was first pregnant with Rayden and baby pictures of the girls."[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] Jack joked slightly, as he held his glass in one hand and the other hand in his pocket, as he looked at Bella.

Jack nodded to her, with a small smile creeping onto his lips. "Thats nice.." he replied. Looking at some of them to Jack's face started to glow from all of the memories. There were pictures of Jack and Harley, and Isabella and Ash, and both of them with Dillon. Lots of unforgettable memories. he thought. Bitting his lower lip once again he thought slightly again. "Hang on, last time you got out the pictures of the kids. You were pregnant with Dillon....." He trailed off a little.

Drinking down his shot quickly he started to pass up and down the coffee table. His eyes twinkling but his eye brow raised, Jack look to Isabella. "Bella?" He asked her, but finding the words to finish that sentence was hard for him, for some reason.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She said excitedly, some of her black hair fell around her face and concealed one of her ocean blue eyes.

A sudden thought came to her mind. "But what if it- no, she doesn't like me?" Bella refused to call her own baby an it. She never thought of a child as a curse, but a gift, a blessing as most put it. "What if I'm a bad mother?" Panic filled her eyes and her face was suddenly serious.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/i] He thougth. Yes, he wanted this baby with Bella, after all she was the only girl after Amiee that he could really love and trust. But what he had done. And the fact that they might be pregnunt as well, scared him to death.

A small smile painted onto his lips. "I'm gonna be a dad? Again?" He asked her with another smile. Jack kept his arms around her waist, her pale but exspressive face looking up at him with a wide grin. One hand mocing up to her face as he bit down onto her lower lip, moving some of her black hair form her face, and placing it behind her ear.

Frowning a little Jack took a deep breath in. "Hey hey hey, where has this all come from?" he asked her a little confused. Why would she be a bad mother now? "You've had three kids and you've been a wonderfull motehr to all of them no matter what!" Jack told her, he included Rayden, because although he wasn't really alive she still raised him the best she could in a way.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She asked with a small laugh, but it quickly faded.

Isabella regained her smile. "Yes! Isn't it wonderful?" Right now it didn't matter what they would to get ready for him/her. She pursed her lips. "I wonder what it's going to be?" Though it would probably be a few more weeks until she could actually find out, there always was more room for the mystery.

She gave a small shrug. "I don't know, but not every kid is the same. What if-" Bella stopped short. He was right, why was she worried? She smiled softly. "I just want to be the perfect mother." That was very impossible though. She had made a lot of mistakes, but everyones human, right?[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her with a smile.

"Yeah It's great. And I hope it's a boy. We haven't had a boy together yet.." Jack told her looking down at her light face, with a rosy smile. Although they both had had a boy, they had not yet had one together, and Jack longed for that.

Jack frowned a little. "What if what?" Jack asked her. "And you are a great mother any one would love to have you as a mum, you spoil the kids so much" He nodded with a laugh.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She laughed slightly. "And what have you been up to all day?"

"Yeah, but I claim Harley as mine though." She gave a small smile. "I'll bet Harley's gonna be glad if he does have a little brother tholugh." It would be a change from all the girls.

"Hey, I'm not the only one who spoils the kids." Bella grinned. "Always taking them out for ice cream and what not. And nevermind. I guess I don't really have anything to worry about, but its still another baby that I have to take care of and I'm always scared I'll lose it like I lost Rayden." She said his name carefully and her smile disppeared.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her with faint chuckle. "It's like you are his real mother. Well you are but?" Jack tryed to say, but closed his lips tight together. And took a deep breath in thinking it was time to stop talking.

"Never said you were" He laughed a little. "Bella look. You need to stop blaming yourelf for Rayden, he wouldn't want you to carry on living your life crying all the time because of what happened to him. And look you have me now. I can help you...." Jack told her.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She teased. "How'd you break your door? And that is pretty good for Harley."

Bella gave a small shrug. She hadn't really noticed. His next words made her forw slightly. At least she had always believed he had been her son. She ran a hand through her hair and smirked. "Yeah, you should really stop talking now." She muttered.

"I don't cry all the time." Bella looked away from him and glared at her feet. But I don't... Your always gone. "How can you help, Jack?" She asked with a weak laugh. Maybe she had been really depressed after Rayden's death, but it was hard to accept that your friend killed your baby.[/ul][/size]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her. "And I don't want to talk about it, and yer it is." He todl her with a small smile.

Jack mumbled nodding and laughing.

"Well yeah, but close enough." He told her pulling away from her grip, It seemed to him like they were about to fight so Jack wanted to do things while they talked. Picking up the glasses Jack smirked. "I don't know" He told her looking up at her face lgithly.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She muttered under her breath. Whe he picked up the glass, she picked up hers. She shook the glass, debating over whether or not to drink it since it wasn't healthy to drink during pregnancy, but right now she really wanted one and she was only a few weeks. "I know what we could use, a vacation!" At least thats what she wanted. Even if it was just a trip to the muggle world and back.

"I could drop off the kids at moms and we could do whatever you want. It would be like... I don't know, but I could use one and you could use one from work and whatever else it is you do in your spare time." Bella took a small sip of her drink. One drink wouldn't hurt anyway.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her walking into the kitchen with the glasses, and placing them into the sink. "Why do you want to go on holiday?" He asked her, her proposal was a bit out of the blue, Jack wasn't expecting that at all.

Did she say Whatever? What the hell have I done this time? He thought to himself as he turned on the tap rinsing the glasses. "So where are you going then?" He asked her. It seemed that she just wanted to get away from not only the kids but him as well.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] Bella smiled slightly, at least he stopped her because one drink usually turns into four and she would have messed up. "It would just be a break. I mean you work all the time too." She figured it owuld at least help him. At lest she figured he was at work most of the time. What else you he be doing when he's not at home?

"Well, no where without you. Bella crossed her arms and shifted her weight to her right leg. "I just figured we both could use it. Its not much of a vacation without you, my love." She tilted her head, smiling weakly.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her with a smirk placing the glasses up side down on the draining board. Bitting his lower lip as he dryed his hands he said. "I know I work. But what can I do?" He shrugged. "I mean I work as hard as I can so that we have lots of money to spend on each other" He said walking back to Bella. "And It's only five and bit days" He smiled weakly.

Frowning a little Jack smirked once again. "Well what would we do, where would we go, how long would we be there?" Jack asked her. His head buzzing with questions all that he wanted to be answered.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She said with a small laugh. "Not work so much?" She offered. "But thats five days I don't see you all day. When you are off your always busy doing everything else." She leaned against the counter with her arms still crossed across her chest.

"Anywhere, anything, and only for a dew days. Say... I don't know, America maybe? Or who even says that we need to get away from home? I honestly don't know." Bella racked her brain trying to thing of something. It was a mere suggestion and she hadn't thought of all the details.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He laughed slightly more. Walking closer to her his hands tapping on her crossed arms. He watched them softly.

Frowning again Jack asked. "Why do you want to go some where all of a sudden?" Jack asked her. It was a brilliant Idea he would love to go away for the weekend, but why did she want to go?[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She asked softly and slipped her hand in his.

"I just figured it would be fun, you know, to get away for a while. You deserve a break." Isabella gave a small nod, a smile at her lips. "It was just a random suggestion, but we don't have to if you don't want to..." She trailed off. They didn't have to go.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] Jack told her kissing her back just as lightly.

Nodding to her with another smile Jack said. "Yeah it would be really nice." He agreed with her.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] She smirked and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"So we'll do it then?" Bella asked, her face lighting up. Vacation... The word made her even more eager to get away from it all for a while. Everyone needed a vacation.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] Jack smiled wrapping his amrs tighter around her. Kissing her black hair lightly, the laying his check onto the top of her head.

Taking a deep breath in Jack smirked. "Yeah, will do some thing this weekedn if you want. Just you and me no body else." Jack told her his face lighting up.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] Bella said with a light laugh. "Of course I want you, more than anything." She looked up at him and kissed him lightly.

Isabella grinned. "Promise? I don't want to make you do anything you don't want."Finally, alone time. She tried to work it all out in her head. The kids would go to her mums for however long they decided to be gone. But she didn't know where they would go though.[/size][/ul]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told her with a smile.

"I promise you Bell" he told her kissing her on the lips softly.[/ul][/size]

[Isabella Parker]

[/b] Bella matched his smile.

"Ill keep you to your word." She muttered and kissed him back.[/size][/ul]
