I want to be in my son's life (142)

Babs spent her week taking it easy. They had given her the week off. She redid the master bedroom in their new home.

The only staff they kept was an old butler, Jeffrey, who was very loyal to the Cameron family. He had promised to always look after the young master.

Jeffrey then got rid of all of the staff and hired new ones to run the house. Babs liked her new life.

David worked hard as a professor she wanted to work hard too. However could she really leave the baby all day with a nanny. That is what David's mother did and she did not even work. But could she let David support her so she could stay home.

She walked into the parlor and sat in a chair. A maid brought her some tea and cookies.

She sat their thinking.

"Madam, Neil West is here to see you." Jeffrey said.

She smiled, "Show him in."

"Hey bright eyes. Just checking on you and the baby." he said taking a seat.

"We're fine. Why are you here really?" Babs asked.

"It's to check on you. I have been thinking and I decided I don't like myself so I want to change. I want to be a part of my child life." Neil said pouring a cup of tea.

"It's a little late don't you think." she said.

"No it's not. I won't try taking him from you and won't interfere with how you and my brother raise him. I just want to also be apart of his life. I don't want him to find out someday who I really am and hate me."

Babs thought for a moment then said, "I need to talk it over with David, but I can't deny this child is yours."

"Thanks, I think it best if my name goes on the birth certificate and I let David adopt him. That way I can say as an Uncle I gave him his best chance in life."

"David will be home soon. Stay for dinner and we can all talk about this." Babs said.

"Ok" He finished his tea. "I have one more thing. I want to move back in here. I hate living in that apartment with my father."

"If David says it's Okay they I will not disagree." She smiled.

He realized what a great girl he had given up but was glad she was with his brother.

When David arrived home he sat down with his brother and talked about everything. David said he understood and agreed to let him live there as long as he caused Babs no problems.

That night as they were getting ready for bed David asked, "Are you really ok with all of this. I can change my mind and be the bad guy."

"No, it's all good. He needs to be a better man so I need to let him. Besides I got the Best man in the whole wide world." She put her arms around him but realize her tummy was getting bigger and she could not reach very well.

David picked her up and laid her on the bed to kiss her. He then felt the baby kick him, "Hey little one she is mine too." he laughed and rubbed her tummy.

Zane came home with the papers in hand. "Bella, I have something for you to sign."

"What?" she asked.

"Annulment papers. It will be like we were never married. I can wait till our real wedding to make you mine." He said.

Bella stared at him. "No, I don't want the baby to be born out of wedlock. It's not fair to him or her."

"Then how else can I fix this Bella, tell me." He was pleading.

"I don't think you can. I need to fix this myself. I have an appointment on monday to she a psychiatrist, Dr. Kelly. I seen him of awhile when I lost my mom." She said.

He pulled her close. "Do you want me to go with you?" He asked.

"I will eventually but not this time. Zane just give me time. I promise I won't leave you. I just need to get past what happened."

He kissed her head, "Ok, I'm going to shower and change. Are you making dinner or do you want to go out?"

"Dinner should be done in about an hour. I have a pot roast in the over." She said.

Zane was glad she still wanted to be with him. He has never been so scared in his life; however this little lady kept scaring the life out of him.

He quickly showered and changed into casual clothes. As he was walking out Lily called.

"Hello" Zane said answering the phone

"Hi, I am calling to let you know Jillian made bail today. Be careful and Bert said Bella use to have a bodyguard, I would get her one again. This girl seems off to me." Lily said.

"Ok got it. Do you think Oliver will get this girl off?" he asked.

"I don't know, we have hard evidence. We even found the guy who sold her the drug. I know Betty is eating herself up over all this."

"Tell Betty not to worry all is good between Oliver and I. I know he is just doing his job. Thanks for the heads up." He hung up then called for the two bodyguards he used last time for Bella.

When he got back to the living room he told Bella about the call and asked her if she would let the bodyguards follow her.

She just shook her head yes. She then went back to studying.
