AN: OK, I came to a point in my story Bella's oops where I had 2 ideas for a path for the character to take. A novelist has to chose one and go with it, but not me I am writing both, so if you are reading this but have not read chapters 1-12 of my other Bella's Oops then stop, and read chapters 1-12 there then this. I am not going to post 12 chapters here too, it will be too confusing for those who have read the first story already to have to find where they left off. I am using the first part of chapter 13 which is the same as chapter 13 in my other story but it ends differently, to help the readers pick up their place from the first story, hope that makes as much sense to you all as it does me.......
Chapter 1/13 Questions and Decisions.
As they had left last night they all came together in the living room in the morning, the only difference was Nessie, came downstairs rubbing her eyes, walked up to Bella and touched her face. Bella said "You are a big girl now, you can go fix yourself a bowl of cereal sweetheart" To Nessie's huge smile Rose jumped up "I will help you!" Bella shook her head and remarked how Rose spoiled Nessie, but she could not bear to do anything to stop it because it made Rose so happy to do it.
After a few seconds everyone was looking at me expectantly. So I turned to Carlisle and asked "OK, firstly, you are all coupled up. How does that work? Everyone but Alice and Jasper made or picked their own mate, do I have to find someone and turn them, or what happens? I have been without a steady girlfriend for a while as a human and I was ready to begin seriously looking when this happened, so I am ready" Carlisle appeared thoughtful for a moment, then answered "For us it is not very different. You meet someone and hit it off or not. However it is much more powerful for us. Maybe because we live forever potentially the bond needs to be stronger but when we mate it is altogether different than humans our bond is much more powerful as our emotions are much stronger." Jasper remarked "Don't I know it" To a round of laughter.
"There are many single Vampires, we are kind of the exception to the rule when it comes to mating, Most of us are like Jasper and Alice, they meet and fall in love. But it usually happens a lot quicker with us, we make our minds up faster f we are compatible or not. "
Carlisle continued "If you are interested in finding a mate you will find one, believe me there are many female vampires out there looking for a mate, especially one as powerful as you are who can protect them. You see there are some of our kind who prey on the weaker among us. This is a large coven, only the Volturi are larger. Most covens are only 2-3 vampires. So you would be quite a catch for a female Vampire. Add to that you are a decent and kind hearted person." I looked at him quizzically and he explained "Last night while you were sitting her meditating on your future, myself, Jasper and Emmett went to your motor home and brought it back here. We went through it and found the receipts for the money you donated to all those charities both before and after you won the lottery. I hope you are not angry, but we wanted to know what kind of person you were so we knew what we had to deal with. So far you have not given us any indication you were anything but a decent person, but we had to make sure."
I smiled at that, and said "Well I should not be surprised you checked me out. I guess it makes sense, I am not mad or anything, it does not matter. I did not make those donations to make myself look good, which is why they were all made anonymously."
As if to save me and change the subject the doorbell rang. Alice's eyes glazed over when everyone looked at her since we did not hear anyone come up the steps and had heard no cars.
After a second she spoke "It is Tanya come for a visit!" She said clapping her hands "LET JOHN ANSWER IT!!!" I was taken aback, but got up to answer the door when Carlisle sat back down.
