It's Been Awhile, Chapter Eight
It's been awhile since I updated, eh? Okay, bad pun. Anyways, I don't have a real reason. It was summer, so it's not like I was to busy. I just never 'got around' to updating. I dedicated most of my net time to my websites. School starts Monday (btw, my schedule SUCKS if anyone cares, hehe) but I'm going to try to wrap up all 5 stories I have going before I start any because I feel annoyed that I started to many, lol. I might delete one (a story called Denial) so that may make it a bit easier. Enjoy and please revew!
Oh does anyone know why borders aren't working?
OH and I just reread the chapters and realized that in chapter seven, I made a mistake. I mixed up Aarit/Aarick. So, if any one is confused, Aarit is the triplet that lives with Ashley and TC. So, Aarit Callaway. Then, Aarick is the boy who lives with Chris-Aarick Kelly.
Ashley stormed into the room where TC was sitting. "You lied!" She accused.
"Watch it, Ashley," TC warned. Ashley was more than a little hot-headed. But he had to laugh when all 4 feet, 3 inches of her stomped into the room, looking like her mother.
"Aarick told me that you lied. You said lying was BAD."
"I didn't LIE. And I said watch it," TC said, still attempting to stay calm.
"What'd you lie about?" Ashley demanded.
TC gave up on the 'watch it' warnings and decided to get straight to the point.
"Come here, guys," he said. He sat them down and went to his room. He pulled out a photo album and brought it into the living room. Opening it to the front page revealed a picture of Chris, TC and three newborns. TC pointed out the baby boy in the middle. "That is your brother, Aarick. Aarick James."
Ashley and Aarit didn't say anything. TC knew they wouldn't understand but he didn't expect them to say anything. "So we have a baby brother?" Ashley asked. "No, Ashley. That's our twin brother. Well, triplet. Right, dad?" Aarit asked. TC nodded.
He flipped the page and turned to a picture of a white-blonde haired boy snuggling with a dog. "This is Aarick a couple of years ago. When you were born, there were three of you. You know how you two are twins? Well, since you have another brother, you're triplets."
He flipped the page again and Aarick's school picture from the last school year was showed. It was a sharp contrast to the four-year-old that he had just shown. This kid had a smug look on his face, and looked as if he had purposely dirtied his face and ripped the collar on his shirt.
"He looks exactly like Aarit," Ashley said quietly. "So he's OUR brother? Where is he? Why isn't he with us? I wanna see him."
"He's in my class, dummy," Aarit snapped. TC stared at him. That was totally out of character. "Aarit, you know better. We don't make fun of people here, do we?" He demanded. Aarit looked sullen.
"Ashley and Aar, I know this is hard for you, okay? I know it may be a little confusing," TC said, slowly and carefully. "I want you guys to know that your mother loves you so much, just like I love your brother. But when we had you guys, we couldn't really afford it. We weren't living together, and your mom wanted to do stuff. You know how your teachers talk to you guys about dreams? What you want to do? Well, your mother wanted to do her dreams. So we decided to let her raise Aarick, while I take you guys."
He knew by the blank looks on their faces that they didn't understand.
He showed them a picture of Chris. "This is your mom. Her name is Chris, Chris Kelly."
"Is her name Chris or Kelly?" Aarit asked. "She has two first names."
TC laughed a little. "Her name is Chris. Kelly is her last name, like Callaway is your last name."
"She's pretty," Ashley commented.
"Just like you, babygirl," TC said and kissed the top of her head. "You'll hopefully see her tomorrow."
Aarick sat by his mom.
"I have a brother, and I have a sister," Aarick said right away.
"Yeah, you do," Chris admitted. Aarick just nodded.
"Can I see pictures of them?"
Chris got up and grabbed an album from the bookcase.
"THAT'S my brother and sister? I thought those were cousins!" Aarit exclaimed.
"Nope. That's your brother. His name is Aarit, Aarit Matthew. And this is your sister, Ashley Kelly. And this," she said, showing him a picture of TC hugging the two kids, "is your father. TC Callaway."
Although Chris was more straight-forward than TC, she could still see that Aarit didn't understand why he and his newfound siblings had been seperated in the first place.
"He's in my class. It was so weird."
Chris just nodded and kissed his cheek. "You need to get in the bed. School tomorrow. You'll see your...You'll see TC tomorrow."
"It'll be to weird. I'm in the same class as him, mom."
"I know, kiddo. Just...I don't really know what to say, okay? Try to talk to him. Hopefully TC has talked to them..."
Please review! I'll try to get a chapter out quickly
