Chapter 52.
I had fallen asleep, next to Ava, and me coning into consciousness and my eyes fluttering open, due to the disturbing sound of loud voices downstairs, proves this.
At first, I think I was simply dreaming, but after a few seconds, hearing this, I know that I am hearing right. I move out of bed to investigate, wondering what in the world could be happening, all of a sudden.
I am aware that I am still at the Cullen residence, and I'm still in my evening dress, but I'd taken off my shoes a long time ago.
" Did you think I wouldn't know, that everything was a lie?!"
This is what I am able to hear clearly, as I stand at the top, looking down at the scene in the living room.
Colton looks beyond upset and he is throwing words at Mrs Cullen?
I can't see her expression, because her back is facing me.
I don't see anyone else anymore, but the family.

" Thank you for meeting with me." I say to Daniella, who has spared me a few minutes of her time, during her break.She nods. " I was surprised, to hear that you wanted to meet with me."" I was thinking that maybe, as time passes, we would be comfortable around each other. I mean, my dad will be marrying your mom soon."" I have no problem with you." She says so fast, that I get taken aback and I have to take a second, before I answer." I never thought of you as someone who had a problem with me. " I say with a small frown." N-no, don't get me wrong. What I meant to say -------"" Was that getting used to the changes in our lives, might be different, for each one of us." I finish for her." Yes, right. Um, I don't have much time left......" She trails off, reminding me to get to the point.And that's what I do." My dad

He should have remained where he stood, because now that he is walking towards me and the distance between us, is closing, I'm truly getting upset.He lied to me, it's as simple as that." Skylar." He reaches out his hand to touch me, but I take a step back." You're here. Reece, you are here." My voice rises a level, when I repeat my words." I know and I am aware of how this may look, but --------"" No, no, no buts. It's as clear as day that you lied to me and I should be asking you why, but I'm too upset, so I'll just leave you be." I say, before turning around and walking off." No, no, Skylar, wait!" I jerk my arm back, when I feel him touch me." Don't touch me, Reece, just don't. You lied to me, when I gave you no reason to do so."" I know, I know, and I want to tell you the reason for me being here when --------"

" I'm sorry." I hear these words being said, as I come into consciousness. By the bright lights and the beeping sound, it's as clear as day that I am somewhere, I wish I didn't have to be. The hospital. I turn my head to where I heard the voice, and that's when I see him. " Thank goodness my mom is not here, to see me like this." I mumble. She would have freaked out and started babying me. His first reaction is to move his eyes all over my face, before he leans forward and literally hides his face in the bed. " Reece." I call him, but he doesn't move. I call him again, but he neither moves. My heart starts to race, when I ask this question, as something comes to mind. " Are they gone?" It's then, he picks his head up to look at me. There's tears in his eyes and I can tell that he is trying, by al

I have heard of people, wishing that they could go back in time, to undo, the undone now. At some point, my thoughts had taken me there, where I wished, that night was different. But I know that one can't undo the yesterday, and only today, stares one in the face, for them to take charge of it. I have cried and cried, and all the times I did, I experienced a headache. It didn't help that I had just come back from the hospital, hours ago, feeling really tired and wanting to be alone for some time. My parents and friends, have felt differently, wanting to be around me each time. I didn't want to be rude and demand time alone, so I just took it as them, not wanting me to feel alone. I felt grateful, to Reece, for making a way, for both my parents to be here with me. He truly didn't want me to be alone. His thoughts were leaned towards two years ago, in which he didn't want a repeat of. H

" Do you ever think about the future?" He asks me." Sometimes, why?" I say.He doesn't answer for a few seconds as we are walking, until at some point, he does." I haven't been able to think of me alone in the future. It's not possible anymore." He glances to me and days, " I see you in it."My heart skips a beat, when I hear this coming from him." I think about you a lot."" Does this mean, there's a possibility of seeing me in your future?"I smile at him.Pulling his arm around my shoulders, I wrap my own arm around his middle and we continue on.When we finally reach my apartment complex, we turn to each other." Well, this is me." I say.He reaches out his hand, to gently push back my hair behind my ear." I want to take you away, for a while."" Y

I've been having a hard time, taking my eyes off of her. I know that we have spent time together, but it feels like the first time, now that I know who Ava is in my life.Oh gosh, she is my daughter.My own daughter, who I carried in my womb for nine months.With it being late, we decided to return back to Colton's home and I won't lie, and say that I didn't wish to take her back to my place immediately.I had to remind myself that this was not just about me, but Ava, and the changes, that would befall her as time goes.There is so much that will need for us to adjust to, and as difficult as some things may be, but Ava is the most important.I'm a mother, and as a mother, I have to put my daughter first.Gosh, my daughter, it hasn't sunk in totally. It's like a dream, that I wish to not wake up from.Being seated on the rug, against the so

" Thank you for bringing her over." I say to Jane." Anytime you need me to bring her to you, just call me."I nod." Hopefully, I won't need to do that anymore, soon." I say, looking at Ava.I'd asked Jane to bring Ava, so I could spend the whole afternoon with her. Two days have passed, since I last saw everyone, except Ava of course.At first, I'd asked Kelly to bring her over but then, I later considered asking Jane, since I didnt want to be the cause for a disturbance, at her workplace." How have you been holding up?" She asks me, after some minutes of silence between us, passes." Better than the last time you saw me."" That's good. At least, you've had some time to yourself, and some time to think."" Not enough, unfortunately. All that keeps coming back, is Ava, and the time I lost out with her."

WEEKS LATER....' Custody, will be granted to the biological mother, Skylar Grey, as of today.' These are the words that have brought a smile onto my face, for the past weeks.Hearing it being declared and being made official, that Ava is supposed to be with me, as her mother. So much worry had gripped me, standing there and waiting for the verdict.I had worried that because I was in contact with an adoption agency, and that financially, I'm not in the level of the Cullen family, it would be used against me, and would be the main factor, which would make me lose the possibility of having custody of Ava, but no.Custody has been granted to me and she has been with me, ever since.With her being so young, the solution came from the discussion that happened, between me, Reece and Colton, one time, on the days approaching the day for court.
