-ParaisGal- Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Note – Belle’s dad is Jesse McGregor. Chapter Twenty Four. “You’ve never told me anything about my dad, except he got you pregnant when you were 13.” Belle told her mother as they walked back along the beach. “Well, it was at that time I was rebelling. Your father didn’t know that I was pregnant, truth was he had absolutely no interest in a 13-year-old love struck girl. He really just wanted a bit of fun, and to have someone adoring him. That’s what he was into. But you’re dad isn’t the best guy, Belle. He’s just out of prison for murder. On bail and good behaviour. So be nice to him, he really wants to know you.” Amanda told her daughter. “How old was I when he found out about me?” Belle asked, turning to her mother. “You were ten years old when I saw your father again. I was 23 at the time, and we were polite. I told him I’d been pregnant to him, and that I’d had a stillborn daughter. But, it appears that your grandmother has seen him as well, and told him that you aren’t actually stillborn.” Amanda told her, facing Belle “Please don’t hate me, but I didn’t want you to hate me.” She told her. “I don’t hate you. I can’t hate you. You’re my mother. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to love this man, love my father. I doubt I ever will, because he used you.” ----- Martha froze when she saw the guy a little way away. It had been years since she’d seen him, and even longer since he’d broken up with her. She looked coldly at him, as she spotted him talking to her grandfather. Jesse turned his head, in turn looking at the dark-haired woman who was on crutches. He realised who she was, and felt a little bit guilty. Prison had given him a conscience, something he hadn’t had before he’d gone behind bars. “What’s wrong?” Jack asked her. “Nothing.” She assured him, turning away from Jesse. “Are you sure?” He asked. “Of course.” She told him. “Alright.” He nodded. ----- “Can we talk?” Jesse asked Martha, in Noah’s Bar as she sat with Ruby. “Talk about what Jesse? The fact that you practically assisted in Josh’s death?” She asked him furiously. “He was trampled, Martha. I didn’t do anything.” He told her, almost as though he was bored. “Who was the one sending that horse crazy? Who was the one who made Josh work even though he was sick? If he wasn’t working whilst he was sick he would’ve been alright. But no, because of you he’s dead. You used to be my absolute best friend, we were so close. Now I want nothing to do with you. Stay the hell out of my life. Just leave the bay and never come back.” She spat at him. “Martha, you okay?” Belle asked, approaching her. “Yeah I’m fine.” She said, glaring at the wall “It’s okay Belle.” “Belle? Belle Taylor?” Jesse asked. “Yeah, so what?” She asked. “I’m your father.” ----- “Great, he’s my dad.” Belle groaned after Jesse had left. “Yeah. He was my boyfriend, did you know? We were together before I let Josh, we were so close, I was 14 when I started going out with him. I know, young and stupid.” “Mum was pregnant to him and had a baby to him by 14. Count yourself lucky.” “I know. We went out for a year, before he cheated on me, dumping me really quick. Then I met Josh, who worked for him. Jesse didn’t like the fact I was really close to Josh, and made him work under conditions that weren’t too decent. He was working when he had a bad flu, and he couldn’t get away from a horse which Jesse had sent crazy. Jesse’s dad is some top notch guy, and he owned racehorses and the like, and Josh was training for him.” Martha told her. “Wow, you just gave me even more reason to hate the guy.” Belle commented. “Sorry.” She apologised. “Don’t apologise, I’m thinking the same thing.” NEXT UPDATE: Jack finds out Martha’s ex is in town. How does he react?

-ParaisGal- Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 Murder isn't good. Yes, update nearly ready to be posted.
-ParaisGal- Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Chapter Twenty Six. Jesse watched Jack as he walked into the diner, Jesse knew that this guy had something to do with Martha Mackenzie, he just didn't know what "Hey." He said, standing up and walking towards Jack. "Hi." Jack said slowly, glancing at Jesse then back at Leah. "I'm Jesse. Jesse McGregor." "Jack Holden." Jack nodded, grabbing his food and preparing to head out. "I want to know what's going on between you and Martha Mackenzie. I used to know her." He told him. "Martha? She's my wife mate." He told Jesse simply. "You're wife? Geez, I never knew she married." He mumbled. "How do you know her?" He asked curiously. "I used to date her." He said, almost proudly. "You two came from the same town? Or was this long ago?" He asked. "Same town." "How old was she when you dated her, you seem a fair bit older than her." He commented. "She was 14, I was in my early thirties." He said. "Why the hell was she allowed date you when she was 14 and you were much older? Most of the time people aren't allowed date until their sixteen!" "It wasn't really supported. But we did it anyway." He grinned. "Right. Well, I'd better get this home. Martha and the kids will be looking for it." ----- "What's up?" Martha asked curiously, Jack seemed a bit angry. "How come you never told me that you're ex was in town?" He demanded. "I didn't think it was important Jack. Okay, yes me and Jesse were pretty serious, but nowhere near as serious as Josh was." "That's beside the point. I would have appreciated knowing, I mean you're my wife!" "I was young, I was naive, I believed that I could have a romance with an older guy who wouldn't cheat on me with my best friend." She told him bluntly "You really think I care he's back? After what he did to me, I don't give a damn if he's here or on the moon. As far as I'm concerned, Jesse McGregor doesn't exist in my world. I loathe him, he treated me pretty bad. Oh, and he's also Belle Taylor's father." She told him, slamming the plates on the table. Jack watched her, he had thought that Jesse had been a proper boyfriend, and didn't know exactly what he'd done to her "I'm sorry, we just started talking at the diner and he mentioned you two, and I was just, I don't know, maybe a bit protective. I didn't want you running back to your ex." "No way would I ever go back to him, even if I was paid a million dollars. Seriously, he's not worth it." She told him, unhappy that he didn't appear to trust her "I never thought that it would matter he was back, simple. He's horrible to his women. He got Amanda Vale pregnant when she was fourteen, is that enough for you?" "Well it did matter at the time, but now that you've explained it, it doesn't really matter as much anymore." He told her, giving her a hug. "So we're okay?" She asked him. "We're good." He confirmed, kissing her gently. ----- "I can't wait until he's walking." Martha grinned at Leah, holding her son in her arms, watching as Ruby came hurrying down the stairs. "Well boys always start walking later than girls." Leah said, smiling at Harley as she tickled his foot. "Yeah, I noticed. Ruby was walking by now, but every baby is different." She smiled. "I couldn't help but overhear Jack and Jesse's conversation. So Jesse McGregor is your ex huh?" She asked. "Yeah, if you want to say it like that." "He was here for a while, before Jack's time. He dated me, before I met and married Dan. I'm happy I didn't end up with him, he did time for suspected murder of Chloe, another girl that Irene took in. It's really heartbreaking, because Chloe was a single mother to Olivia." She said "I hope he doesn't come in here too often, I'm sure Irene won't like seeing him too much. He was in jail until some stupid evidence came out that it wasn't his fault, but who cares, he still killed her in my eyes." "Speaking about Chloe love?" Irene asked tiredly. "Yeah, sorry." She apologised. "No need to apologise. By the way, Livy's coming here for awhile, probably to stay because James' lifestyle isn't the best for an eight year old girl. She was two when her mummy died. She's coming sometime over the next few days, could even come today, I don't really know. But I do know that Jesse isn't coming anywhere near her." Irene said, almost darkly. "So she's staying with you Irene? That'll be nice." Leah commented. "Diana isn't getting her. I told Chloe I'd never let that woman get her hands on Olivia and I intend on keeping to my promise." ----- "Have you met Olivia yet?" Martha asked, walking to the table in the diner, pushing the stroller ahead of her and handing Harley to Jack. "Nope. I gather you have though." "Yeah, she's really nice. Ruby and Olivia were playing for a little while, and they got along really well!" "Irene took the rest of the day off to spend the day as her guardian. And to get her enrolled into school." Leah told them, coming over with some drinks. "Really? Wow she obviously loves Olivia though. She's gorgeous!" "Yeah, she is. She's so sweet. I remember how it was the night Chloe died, I was minding Olivia at the time. It was so hard, we had to tell a two year old her mother wouldn't be coming home to her." Leah said, sighing "Poor Irene, it was so hard on her." "Irene will be happy as long as Jesse stays away from Olivia, but who knows if that'll ever happen?" NEXT UPDATE: Irene has a talk with Jesse. - WILL BE FINAL CHAPTER! If I write it. If you would like to write the final chapter, message me.
