My Fallen Angel

Summary-

She was an Angel, but no matter how much he wanted her to be, she was not his Angel, she be longed to his son. He vowed to always be there for her, in any way he could be. That was why he was there for her when her father was murdered, not his son. And when his son left her in her time of need, he was there.

Chapter One-

Bella silently sighed as Edward opened the car door for her. "What's the matter?" He asked as she took his hand and allowed him to help her out of the car.

"I don't want a party, Edward." She told him. She had been telling both him and Alice this for the past three weeks. She hated her birthday, not because it meant that she was now technically one year older than Edward, seeing as he was forever frozen as a 17 year old, but because nothing ever good happened on her birthdays. Nothing.

At her 6th birthday party, her mother tried to cook, burnt the house down and caused her and two other kids to go to the hospital. On her 10th birthday she and her mother had been held at gun point and robbed. On her 12 birthday, her mother crashed the car and Bella had shattered her left knee. Oh, and on her 15th birthday, her mother had gone out with some friends and two hours later Bella had gotten a call from her mother at the county jail asking her to come and bail her out. So, no, Bella did not like her birthday.

"Come on Bella, me and Alice just want you to experience some normal human experiences." Edward told her as he led her in to the Cullen house that was lit up by thousands upon thousands of fairy lights. Bella bit back a snort and had to keep herself from telling Edward that she was not a normal human. For starters, she had a vampire boyfriend that could read every bodies mind, except hers. Her best female friend was a vampire that could see the future. And she was going into a house filled with 'vegetarian' vampires. Yes, she was just like every normal human.

"I get that Edward, but this is one experience that I do not want. I just want to go home, put on some comfy clothes, lay in bed with a nice relaxing book, and pretend that this day is just another normal day and not my birthday. I mean, that's what I did last year, and I was totally fine with it." Bella said dragging her feet. She heard Edward exhale through his nose and knew that he was getting annoyed at her, but she honestly didn't care. She did not want to do this and she was not going to make this easy on him if he was going to force her to do this. She would rather go to prom than do this.

"Bella, please just do this for me, or at least Alice, she would be heart broken if you didn't let her do this for you." He begged, and normally she would cave and give in, but not on this.

"No, I told you Edward. I. Don't. Want. This." Bella said, punctuating that last four words to reinforce them. She didn't care if Alice was going to be hurt by her refusal, which she assumed that she already saw, if not heard.

By now they two had made their way into the family room where everyone was standing. Bella looked around the room at everyone. Alice stood in front of her with a sad, but understanding look on her face. Jasper was behind her with his hands on her shoulders in a comforting way, he was smiling softly in understanding. Rosalie and Emmett were standing off in a corner together, Rosalie had an annoyed look on while Emmett had his signature smile in place. Esme was standing awkwardly near a table that had Bella's favorite food ready for her, a birthday cake, and presents. Carlisle was standing in the middle of the room with an apologetic smile one his face.

"Bella, I'm sorry, I knew that you didn't want to celebrate your birthday, but I thought that once you got here that you might change your mind." Alice said as she made her way over to Bella and took her hands. Bella gave the pixie like vampire a small smile and gave her hand a squeeze.

"It's alright, Alice, I forgive you. I do appreciate the gesture." Bella said and Alice smiled and pulled Bella into a hug.

"We can do what ever you want. If you want to just go into the living room, put on a movie or let Emmett beat everyone at video games while you snuggle up with a nice relaxing book and pretend that this is just a normal day than we can." Alice said as she let go of Bella.

"I would-" Bella started but was interrupted by Edward.

"No. We are going to celebrate Bella's birthday properly." Edward said.

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." Carlisle snapped shocking everyone, Carlisle rarely used everyone's full name, "This is Bella's birthday and we will celebrate it any way she wishes. If she wishes to pretend that this day is just a normal day, than that is what we will do." Carlisle said giving Bella a small smile, which was returned.

"This is Bella's birthday!" Edward cried.

"Yes, and we will celebrate it how she wants to!" Carlisle snapped back at him. Bella looked between the two vampires that were now silently challenging each other. With a sigh Bella crossed her arms and moved to stand in between the two of them.

"If you two don't stop it I will have Alice here take me home! I don't really wish to be alone, and seeing as Charlie was called into work I will be alone at home. But if you two don't stop, I will go home because I don't like to see any of you guys fighting over me." Bella said before muttering. "This is why I don't like to celebrate my birthday, nothing good ever happens!" Carlisle looked like he was about to panic for a second before looking sorry, while Edward turned his head and glared at the wall like a child.

"I am truly sorry Bella, please do not let my behavior ruin your night." Carlisle apologized, the look in his eyes tugged something in Bella's heart causing her to walk over to him and pull him into a hug.

"It is alright, you are forgiven." She said before pulling away from him and turning to look at Edward who was still glaring at the wall. "How about this, I haven't eaten dinner yet, so while I eat that delicious looking dinner that Esme made for me, you all can give me my presents and wish me a 'happy birthday'. But after I eat, I want to go into the living room and spend the rest of my evening with all of you while curled up on the couch watching Emmett crush everyone at video games, and probably read a little bit while we pretend that this is just a normal night for us. Meaning, after I eat, no one is to mention that tonight is my birthday."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea." Esme said and Bella turned towards the woman who was like her second mother before looking back over to Edward who had yet to stop glaring at the wall.

"Edward?" She asked.

"Whatever, it's your birthday, do whatever you want." Edward said before turning and leaving the room. Bella closed her eyes and sighed while counting to ten slowly in her head. Lately Edward had been acting like a spoiled child, and when ever Bella had mentioned doing something without him or hanging out with anyone other than him or not wanting do do things his way, he threw a hissy fit. It was a hissy fit like this that had made her stop hanging out with her best male friend Jacob. She opened her eyes and turned to look at the rest of the Cullens in the room, she would not let Edward ruin her mood.

Bella laughed as Carlisle sat down beside her on the couch after being utterly crushed at Super Smash Bros for the tenth time in a row. "I don't get how kids these days can enjoy this." He said with a smile on his face causing Bella to hide her face in the book Carlisle had let her borrow from his study to read and laugh.

"Careful Carlisle, your true age is showing." Bella said after calming down enough to actually speak. Carlisle looked at her with a hurt look, though Bella could tell from the amusement in his eyes that he was just playing with her.

"Are you calling me old?" He asked as Bella bit her lip to keep from laughing as she shook her head. "I'll have you know, I am not old, I am only 367 years old, give or take a few years." At this Bella lost the fight and fell onto Carlisle while laughing harder then she could ever remember. This caused Carlisle to begin laughing which lead everyone else in the room to start laughing as well. Bella's phone began to ring and Bella answered it still laughing.

"Isabella Swan?" The voice asked sullenly. The tone of the voice instantly sobered Bella, causing her to stop laughing and sit up as fear suddenly settled into her heart. Something had happened.

"This is she." She said and looked around the room, everyone had also stopped laughing and were now looking at her. Jasper sat his controller down and flashed over to her so that he was kneeling in front of her and tried to get rid of the fear in her. And though it helped some, the fear refused to leave.

"I am Officer Lance. I work with your father." The person said and Bella wanted to snap at him to tell her stop stalling and tell her what was wrong.

"Yes?" Bella said and knew that something had happened to her father. Had he been hurt on duty and was now in the hospital.

"I am sorry to inform you that your father was shot and killed in the line of duty tonight." Officer Lance said a minute before the phone hit the ground.
