Once Upon Some Confusing Encounter

[sim323]

This is too juicy! I feel bad about her grandma though. Did she ever tell dad  {blink}

[yummybunny]

Thanks!  I did edit the story because yeah, I meant to add in her telling her dad, but just forgot.  Here is the edit:

I told him that his mother died, and I could tell that he really didn't know what to say.  I can also tell by his face that he was really sad, but also felt guilty.  "Look, don't do me like I did my mother." he said. "I really meant to talk to her one last time, but I just kept pushing it back. She was a great mother...we had our issues, but she was the one who cared most for me."

[Amiisay]

Ohmygosh.

I really love this.

[Earth Mama]

wow! that's an awesome story!

But I want to see more of Ally May too. Her point of view and such.

[yummybunny]

Yeah,  you will.

I mainly forget about her some of the times, because she's never home and always going to some friend's house or at school--she's a very busy gal!

But yeah, her POV is coming up in a few updates, along with the boys, since you all know Thornton and Bella pretty well.

[Nova]

I would like to get their point of view too, but I still want to know about Bella and her story.

"Bella." Dad came to me one night. "How would you feel if we move to another house?"
"I don't care." I responded. "This house is kinda cramped anyways."
"Good.  Cause I know that you are Ally are cramped in this little room, plus, you will have your own room.  Daddy has lots of money in the bank now."
"Okay daddy."
"Awww." Dad responded, then hugged me. "It's been a long time since you called me daddy! Is my little girl coming back?"
"No Dad." I groaned. "It just slipped."
"Bella, I have a secret, so it's between us. You know, your mom doesn't think you deserve it, because you are so bad, but I know you are being a little rebel, but still, I barely think you deserve it either."
"So why are you giving this item to me?"
"Bella, sometimes, you just have to take risks...you are almost grown, and will do nothing but hurt us if we take away more and more from you, so I'm saving up for a car, just for you.  I'm not going to buy it right away."
"Dad, what's the catch.  If I was my own parent, I wouldn't even give myself a car!"
"Listen, I'll add money if you have a good day or week or do something good, but will deduct money if you do something bad.  You also have to go to school."
"Then skip the car!" I laughed. "School is just not for me!"

Dad looked at me with worry and defeat as I walked away from him laughing.

It wasn't long until we moved into a bigger house.

After moving, I had gotten interested in a guitar that Cory gave me for my birthday.  It was always sitting in the corner at my old house, being looked at and admired.  Cory engraved, "To my Bell. You are the music in my ears, babe."  Though it was kinda corny, it was soooo sweet!  Cory tried his best, and it showed me that he really loved me.  Yeah, I was gonna actually be his Bell and try to play some music.  I started to take some guitar lessons, and of course, I needed some money...I got enough for 3 months of lessons from my parent's dresser.  Ally's college fund....well, part of it.  It was a stupid place to put a college fund anyways!  Mom actually liked me playing the guitar, but what she said about it really annoyed me.  "I'm glad you are trying to be something in life and get something you are good at." she nagged. "Too bad it isn't really useful."  I wasn't going to let her silence this Bell.

***Thornton's POV***

"Thornton, will you stop exercising." Lindy asked. "I need to talk to you about the family."  I had to roll my eyes...not the family again.  "Yes." I answered patiently. "What about the family?"
"Well, you know Ally May is turning 13." Lindy announced. "I was thinking about a party for her, well, she wants a party.  Then the twins turn 4 the same month, so what if we have a big birthday bash!"
"We have no friends!" I laughed. "Who's gonna come!"
"We have lots of friends, Thornton!" Lindy yelled. "And if it wasn't for Bella, we would have more friends."
"And there you go about Bella, Lindy.  Probably if you weren't so negative to her, she wouldn't be a mess today.  You never accepted her!  All her life, it was, 'Dress like a girl, Bella!" or 'You are gonna join cheerleading if you like it or not!' or 'You are such a crybaby, Bella'!"
"Well, she spent the most time with you, so you had to had mess her up, Thornton." Lindy growled. "I just know deep inside that you would be looking at other women!  She probably inherited some kind of demon gene from you!"

"Lindy, look, let's not fight." I said. "Look, it's been a while since we had time to ourselves. The twins are sleep, Ally's at a friend's house, and Bella is...um...out with Cory?"
"I hate that boy." Lindy complained. "What does she see in that boy?  He's short, bald, has a huge head, and looks like an older Bobby Hill."
I had to laugh at that...I thought the same thing too.  "Leave the poor boy alone." I laughed. "At least it seems like he's good to Bella. Not every man can be a handsome hunk like me."  Then I kissed Lindy.  "Look, let's have some fun."
"Okay, but no more brats." Lindy laughed. "One more in this house and my hair will go gray!"
"Oh, no way!" I laughed. "You saw what the few we have almost did to me."

Bella calmed down for a few weeks...about four or five.  She was still acting like the smart mouthed rebel girl, but we knew where she was---at home, and she hasn't been bought home by the cops.

"I think my little girl's coming back!" I squealed.
"She's up to something." Negative Lindy commented. "Come on! I know something is going on in that devious factory."
"That's sweet of her!" I laughed. "She's singing the song that I made up when she was a baby!"
"Influencing Thornton..."
"Lindy, Thornton's gonna be just like his pops!" I laughed. "I'm going to make sure of that."

A month later...

Lindy:  What's up, Thornton. I come home from the grocery store and you are sitting down with the TV off and the game's on!
Thornton:  I don't even know what happened.
Lindy:  Babe, I know when there's something up...now tell your wifey-poo what it is.
Thornton:  Well, you said that if we had another kid, then your head was going to go gray, well, it's the end.
Lindy:  You want another kid?  Did you bring home one of those kids your team helps out with those fundraisers?
Thornton:  Sadly no...um...I guess you need to know, but you need to be in an absolute strong mental state to hear this.
Lindy:  Just tell me!
Thornton:  (insanely laughs) So, how would you feel about a grandchild, cause it's coming in the near future.
Lindy:  OMG!  Bella?
Thornton:  (nods his head) Before you go up there to only lose to her in another fight and drag me into it, just sit down...
Lindy:  (cringes and takes a deep breath) Okay...so how did you find out?
Thornton:  So, I just walked into Bella's room, and happened to see her putting on her robe, just pulling it down her, and caught a good glimspe of her belly.

Thornton:  What the hell!  That better be a tumor!
Isabella:  Dad! Do you ever knock!  And why would you want me to have a tumor more than this baby!
Thornton:  OMG....it is a baby...OMG.  How the...
Isabella:  Me and Cory messed up, plus, I like the fact that I'm having a baby.
Thornton:  And Cory left you, did he?
Isabella:  He's kinda shocked, but he'll come around...
Thornton:  I knew it!  So, it has no father.  This is the worst thing you had ever done!
Isabella:  Cory's not going to leave his baby!  And I think setting fire to that house is the worst thing!  Plus, why do you care!
Thornton:  Cause I'm gonna be paying for it!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af72/Mystic444/Screenshot-183.jpg[/img]

Isabella:  I'll support my own baby!  At least it's someone to love me!
Thornton:  You are so ungrateful!  You did this on purpose!  You know darn well we love you!  For the past FOREVER, I tried to reach out to you, but you just want to be a brick wall!
Isabella:  Yeah, trying to bribe me to go to school and stuff with a car is a very mature thing! 
Thornton:  You're an idiot!  You know how bad it's gonna look in this town with you pregnant!  You have to be the only teen pregnant, and everyone knows you are bad and dropping out!  Yeah, everyone's sure going to know your name.  And yeah, my name is going to be put down.  When my fans see me on television, they will say, 'That's the player with the pregnant daughter!'  I'm not even 40 years old, and I'm a granddad!"
Isabella:  Well good for you.
Thornton:  Know what, when you are grown and your life's messed up with Cory and that child who is gonna be treated bad, just because of who his mother is, you're going to think back on your days as a teenager.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af72/Mystic444/Screenshot-185.jpg[/img]

Thornton:  Then after that, Lindy, I walked out.
Lindy:  I don't want to say nothing to her.  What are the other women in the neighborhood going to think of me!  Gossip spreads so fast!  (Then she gets out Bella's old baby pictures and stares at them)  What did we do wrong?!
Thornton:  Look, we raised her good.  Every person has free will...they make their own choices.
Lindy:  Bella's gonna be huge by time the kids' birthdays are here, and I can't be embarassed at my party!  I invited all our neighbors, and Ally's really excited.  I should cancel it, or just try to give Bella something to do.
Thornton:  Lindy, who cares what everyone thinks!  And you know it's not fair for their party to be cancelled, and Bella cares for her siblings...she wants to go to their party!
Lindy:  Now, I'm thinking of what the baby would look like...Cory's big head, big eyes...head waddles to the side...brown hair...
Thornton:  LOL...leave that boy alone!  The kid will look fine.

[saminsim]

Wow, glitch.  XD

I wonder what the town is going to think of Bella. o_o

[yummybunny]

Yeah, I LOLed when I saw that snapshot of Lindy's arm through her chest. 

[sim323]
