The One

Chapter 26

Paige's POV

Ever since graduation, I've been having that feeling that I am being watched. I thought that after Linda stopped going crazy because I wasnt a wolf that the feeling would go away. Which it did, but now the feelilng is back.

Mason keeps telling me not to worry, but what can I do but worry? I am very close to giving birth and on top of the wedding preparations, I can't deal with more crazy people. I have way too much on my plate to deal with as it is.

Mason and I decided to get married as soon as possible because he wanted us to be husband and wife by the time we had the kids. So in two weeks, I will officially be Mrs. Mason Carter. To say that I am excited is an understatement. I've picked out my dress and i get it refitted every couple of days so the change by my wedding day won't be so drastic. 

Linda asked to have a meeting with Mason and me and I already have a feeling on what she is going to tell us. I never told Mason my suspicions of Linda because at the end of the day, that is still his mother and he will always love her.

Linda called us an hour before she wanted to meet us, giving us plenty of time to get ready, but of course Mason had other things on his mind, making me rush to get decent.  Mason insisted on us showering together, but I know if we did, then we would never get ready in time to meet with his mother. 

I showered in the bathroom joining our bedroom and I made Mason shower in the guest bathroom down the hall. 

Since I didnt have many options to fit my fat ass, I decided on wearing one of Mason's old shirts that he never wears and a pair of sweat pants. Nothing fits me now a days not that Mason is complaining.

I hear the doorbell ring so I pull my hair into a messy bun and head downstairs. "MASON! Get the door."

"I got it babe. You look good." 

"Pfft. Yeah right. I look like a whale, a fat ass whale."

He laughed and bent down to kiss me. "Well you can be my fat ass whale."

I rolled my eyes and opened the door which he forgot to open. "You are such a charmer. Hey Linda." To say she looked terrible was an understatment. For the woman who always, and I mean always looked perfect, she looked as if she hadn't slept for weeks, or showered.

"Mom. Everything alright. You look like shit." I hit him in the arm. His bluntness was not needed at the moment.

"Linda. Is everything alright. Can I get you anything to eat or drink?"

She finally looked up at us. Her eyes were puffy and red as if she had been crying. Her face was bare without her usual makeup. I've never seen her like this.

"No. I am not okay. I really need to talk to the both of you. I have a confession to make. I really-." I cut her off. 

"Wait. Why dont we come in and get a little more comfortable. Let me make you some tea of coffee first. Then we can talk." She just nodded and headed towards the living room.

"Mason. Take it easy on her. She looks as if she has been going through hell. No more bluntness." He just nodded and kissed my forehead.

I went into the kitchen and made some coffee. In the time that I've spent with Linda, I've really come to adore her. I really dont want her confession to ruin things between her and Mason. If I know Mason, which I do, he wont forgive her for this, he will blame her and try to keep her away from the twins. 

If I was a grandmother, that would tear me apart. I don't want her to stay out of our lives, I really forgive her because she thought she was doing what was best for her son. I know I will do what I think is best for my kids, but not to that extint, I will never judge a person until I've gotten to know them. That is her only fault.
