Chapter 22

After a few hours at the spa Nicole and Belle were feeling more relaxed, felt guilty about snapping at the guys they decided it was best to go home and apologize. Yes the Aden had made some comments which were quite offence to Nicole but it was harmless fun. The girls knew that made taken it too seriously. Belle needed Aden more than ever, plus she knew deep down she couldn’t stay mad at him for long. “I feel terrible about snapping at Aden before Nic.....I shouldn’t have spoken to him the way I did...this pregnancy is probably affecting him just as much as me. I mean the poor guy is coming to terms with becoming a father and I know how nervous he is about raising our children. I should really cut him a bit more slack” Belle said as they walked up the pathway to the house. When they reached the door Belle glazed through the window through a tiny peek hole where the curtain hadn’t covered the entire window. She could see the TV was on inside. There was no sign of Geoff or Aden. Nicole opened the door slowly, Belle followed usually their footsteps could be heard on the polish floor but this time Belle and Nicole walked quieter than usual, ensuring their footsteps wouldn’t portray them as angry hormonal women. Aden caught sight of Belle entering the living room as he walked down the stairs carrying a basket of washing. “Hey sweetie” Aden said kindly avoiding confrontation. “Aden, what I said before it was horrible. I really sorry...I didn’t mean” Aden dropped the basket onto the floor and walked up to her “Shh...Its okay” his hands made their way up to her cheeks cupping them with his thumbs. “Eww gross” Nicole said this was her typical comment whenever she saw the two going at it. Belle pulled away from the kiss slowly, “Why are you doing the washing....you never do the washing” Belle asked with one eye brow raised. Aden looked at her pretending to be offended “Excuse me I do the washing sometimes...” Aden said in an unpersuasive tone. “When” she crossed her arms with her eyes widen awaiting his respond. “There was that one time.....on a Sunday.....ummm” Aden tried to remember the last time he had made the effort to do the washing, the truth was he hadn’t and Belle could tell by the look on his face that he was desperately searching for a reply. “Well.....baby, when was the last time?” Belle asked in a childish voice. “It’s been awhile I’ll have to admit” he said looking around the room for a distraction. “Nicole” Geoff walked inside he had been out in the backyard mowing the lawn. “Geoff....I sorry for the way I treated you before.....it was childish” Geoff’s arms were covered in grass and sweat. “Damn straight” Aden mumbled under his breath quietly Belle was able to hear him and slapped him on the shoulder with a stern look in her eyes. “What” he whispered. After Geoff accepted her apology he assumed Nicole would want a kiss but instead she replied “Eww....gross look at you, you’re all sweaty and dirty” Once Nicole spoke the words sweaty and dirty Belle‘s eyes lit up “Mmmm I would have a sweaty and dirty man any day” she laughed. Aden wasn’t sure whether she was being serious or not and gave her a funny look.

The following day started out like any other day, the sun rose at 6 in the morning. The light seeping through the curtains, the window was half open allowing the wind to gently blow through the curtains, filling the room with a fresh breeze of air every so often. Breakfast would be at 8; Belle would make a coffee with two pieces of toast some days she would take a few bites and then run for the bathroom. Nicole was worse the smell of breakfast made her nauseous, sometimes it only took one tablespoon of cereal to make her gag. Both Aden and Geoff felt sorry for the girls. The sound of vomiting wasn’t a pretty one; at least they didn’t have to smell it. “Hey where are you going?” Belle stopped Aden in his tracks; he was sneaking out of the house. “Out” is he quickly making his way out when Belle stood in front of him stopping him from leaving; she wanted to know where he was going. “Out where?” Belle tapped her foot. “Outside” Aden said cheekily with a smirk on his face. “Aden” Belle said demanding a sensible answer from him. “I’m going shopping....if you must know” he gently pushed her aside. “Shopping...what for?” Belle continued. “I need to buy some clothes, okay darling?” he opened the door and blew a kiss. Belle sighed as the door closed, she was disappointed that he wasn’t going to buy her something, or so she thought.

“Excuse me do you have any smaller diamond earrings.....big jewels hanging off my girlfriends ears doesn’t suit her” Aden asked the shop keeper.

“Yes sir we do, just a moment” The shop assistant left for a few minutes and then returned with a pair of glistening diamond earrings. “There perfect” he held them staring at them with a satisfied look. “I’ll take them” he said affirmatively.

When he got home Belle was in the kitchen preparing some lunch. Geoff and Nicole weren’t home as they went to the cinema to see a movie. “Hey gorgeous” Aden cuddled her waist as she stood facing the kitchen bench chopping up some onions. “I have a surprise for you” he said placing his chin in the crook of her neck. “What you bought some billabong t-shirts for half price” she said unhappily. “Ah no, I got you something” Belle turned around quickly delighted Aden picked up a small bag which had the logo of a well known jewellery store on it. Belle knew instantly that he had gotten her some sort of jewellery. She reached into the bag and pulled out a pair of diamond earrings. “Aden....they’re so beautiful” Belle’s eyes started to tear up. “Belle” Aden said noticing her eyes were wet. “What it’s the onion” she lied. “Try them on” he helped her take them off the cardboard holding them together. “They suit you” Belle flashed an enormous smile at him. “Thank you so much” he gave him a kiss. “I hope it’s not too soppy” he replied. “No of course not” her smile was plastered on it no matter how much strength she had at the moment it seemed she couldn’t wipe it off her face. “I knew there was a reason why I love you”.

The day had finally arrived. That night Aden tossed and turned he couldn’t sleep he was so nervous but excited at the same time. Usually Belle was the one who suffered from sleep deprivation. It was two o’clock in the morning tired of tossing and turning Aden finally gave in and got of bed, hoping a glass of milk would send him back to sleep. As he stumbled down the stairs quietly making sure he didn’t wake the others. He rubbed his eyes to regain focus. As reached the entrance of the kitchen the fridge door was already open. “Hello” he said concerned that someone was out of bed at this time of morning. Geoff closed the door wearing only a pair of Simpson boxes. “Oh hey” he said in a sleepily voice. Yawning he poured himself a glass of milk, Aden requested politely to pour him a drink too. “Can’t sleep” Geoff slurped down the milk. “Nah....I’m too stressed about today” Geoff looked at him having no idea what he was talking about, it had been ages since they last talked about Aden proposing. “You know...Today I’m asking Belle to marry me” he reminded him. “Oh yeah right, sorry” he placed the glass down. “Yeah...” he said looking at the ground. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll say yes” Geoff said trying to ease his anxieties. “What makes you say that” he looked at him wanting a believable answer. “I’ve never seen Belle so happy, I’ve seen Belle with a lot of guys....I’m not saying she’s a skank or anything” Geoff quickly said wishing he hadn’t made that comment. “It’s just when she is with you...it’s different, the way she looks at you. It’s like under a spell or something”. Aden couldn’t grasp what Geoff was trying to say. “You’re not like any other guy she’s been with, you two you’re practically soul mates, made for each other” This was now making sense to him. “Mmm” Aden couldn’t think of anything to say, he agreed with Geoff that they weren’t meant to be together, but how was he any different to the other guys she’d dated. “You guys have been through a lot together, you two have been together whether you wanted to be with each other or not” He was referring to the time Belle and Aden worked together at the diner, they both had no say when he was rostered on and at this point in time Belle found him extremely irritating. “That’s true mate....anyway I’m going to hit the hay” Geoff and Aden nodded their heads as a signally goodbye.

It was time, Aden casually asked Belle if she wanted to go for a walk on the beach. She agreed. It was the start of a new year. Aden thought it was the perfect time to ask her hand in marriage. They held hands walking against the wind they exchanged loving looks every so often. As they reached the shoreline of the beach Belle took off her shoes as did Aden. Belle turned to Aden “It’s so beautiful here Aden” she then watched as the waves crashed, the wind blew her hair across her face. Pushing it away gently with her hand she turned to him and smiled wondering what he was thinking, she could see he was thinking deeply.

“Belle there’s something I need to tell you” Aden took both of her hands and eyed her; his eyes were wetter than usual. They looked as if they were about to release several tears.

“That you love me....I know” she said jokingly. Aden gave her a serious look. Belle then realized he was being serious. “Aden what is it?” she asked softly, touching his arm affectionately.

“I just wanted to tell you that......that.....I never imagined that I would be standing here with you now. I never ever dreamed that you would consider being with a person like I was when we first started to date. At first I found it hard to let you in but eventually I learnt to trust you as well as other people. You changed my life, you changed me. I was so messed up before we got together I found it hard to love and trust. You gave me my life back. And I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for giving me a chance....a chance to change. I know that I gave you hard time when I first started working at the diner years ago, but I didn’t know how to talk to the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on. Because the truth is you’re perfect, so perfect. Everyday wake up and I know everything will be okay...because I’m with you. You make me so happy and I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make you as happy as you make me Belle Taylor”.

“Aden...” she started to get teary. She blinked vigorously trying to withhold tears.

Susan Belle Taylor will you marry me?” he got down onto his knees and reached into his pocket pulling out a blue box and then opening it.

“But I thought you didn’t believe in marriage...’ she sobbed.

“Do you seriously think give up the chance to marry sweet lips....nah of course I believe in declaring my love for you and devoting myself to you for the rest of my life...so Belle Taylor will you marry Aden Jefferies?”

“Yes” Belle whispered with tears running down each side of her cheek.

“Great answer” he said using his thumbs wipe away her tears. Sliding the ring onto her finger she smiled and then the two shared a passionate kiss for several minutes, not daring to let go.

“I knew this would be a happy ending” Nicole said standing in the distance with Geoff watching the two embrace on the beach.

{2009}

It was a brand new year; this meant a bunch of new arrivals would enrol at the preschool. Despite being pregnant and continually asked by Aden to slow down Belle refused to neglect the children at Taylors. “Hello everybody” Belle clapped her hands smiling with Aden by her side if she was going to work he wanted to be there for her. She was now gaining more weight, her stomach had expanded dramatically, and it would be a matter of time before she would become much bigger. Aden biggest worry was the amount of stress Belle was placing herself under, as much as he hated children being neglected he knew the children were in good hands, there were plenty of volunteer helpers caring for the abused children. “Belle” Aden said softly tugging at her hand as she got up from the seat “I know, I know, take it easy” Belle mocked him. “You know Geoff and I could run Taylors, you really are working too hard” he pushed gently. “Aden, please...I want to work....hearing all these heartbreaking stories...they just.....they make me want to work, work towards creating a brighter future for these innocent lives” Belle said looking at him with a sadden look. “Alright, just slow it down babe” he rubbed her back. The children were doing craft activities in the morning, this allowed the kids to express their inner emotions that words couldn’t express.

Three months later....

{Taylors}

“Miss Taylor, why is your stomach so big” the child looked up at her puzzled.

“I am pregnant” The child looked confused. “There is a tiny little baby growing inside of me” she said in a cheerful voice she didn’t want to humiliate the child by making her think she was dumb.

“Oh...” she placed a thumb in her mouth and walked away. Belle laughed she thought the girl was adorable, she couldn’t wait to have two little children of her own. “Hey Belle” Aden walked over holding a chicken and mayo sandwich. “Hey” she smiled. They both sat down near the sandpit eating their lunch when Belle felt something move inside her stomach “Ouch” Aden flinched “What...what is it?” he said protectively. “I think one of your babies kicked me....ouch, it did it again, Aden make it stop” Belle said childishly causing Aden to laugh. “What does it feel like?” he asked quickly. “Here” she grabbed his hand and placed it onto her stomach. “I don’t feel anything” he said disappointed.

“Wait” Belle kept holding his hand, waiting for the baby to kid her again. “There...do you feel it” Belle said immediately after feeling like the inside of her stomach were turning. “Yeah...I feel it.....Oh my god...” a tear made its way down the side of his right cheek. “How amazing is this” she also started to cry. “So amazing” he replied kissing her neck.

Aw! That chapter was just too good!

That ending was so sweet! I loved it!

The proposal made me AOL so badly! For a moment, I was worried she might say no [don't ask me why...]. Glad she didn't though.

Cannot wait for more!
