Confessions
I was connected to too many wires to count, and the faint sound of the heart rate machine beeped. I looked at the round bulge that attached itself to my stomach.
Kenneth came in, his golden eyes twinkling. "Bella, I think it's time." He said.
I felt a tear escape my eye when I felt the pressure of pain that shot out from my uterus. "I'm ready." I whispered.
Kenneth nodded and sedated me. The last thing I remember dreaming was Edward's last words. 'It will be as if I never existed.'
How could that be, Edward, when I was giving birth to the proof of your existence?

90 years afterwards
I was sitting on the computer, scrolling through house listings when I heard a faint 'Bella.' I sighed and pushed myself up. I walked down the spiral stairs and headed to the living room. The rest of my coven was there, waiting for me.
First there was Kenneth. He was the patriarch, and he was so much like Carlisle. His black hair was cut short, and he wore glasses, even though he doesn't need them. Next to his side was Penelope, or Penny, and her wavy gold hair was brighter than Rosalie's. Kenneth and Penny were parents to the rest of our coven. I smiled at Ben and Angela, and remembered some of the human memories we shared together, and then the one that changed everything.
Angela and Ben were in a fatal car crash, and I thought they were dead. I examined the crash scene, and I heard the faint sounds of beating hearts, so I called Kenneth straight away. He took care of them, and now they were my brother and sister.
Sitting next to Ben, fidgeting, was Elijah. His bronze hair matched his father's perfectly, but his brown eyes weren't what I was expecting. His facial features clearly were those of Edward's, although some of mine sneaked in. He even perfected the same hair style as Edward, which made him look like him more. His heart was beating like a hummingbird's wings, and he looked up at me.
"Hi mom." He said, smiling. Using his gift, he pushed his thoughts into my head, going past my shield. Mom, everything okay?
Yeah. I thought back at him. He was able to communicate with thoughts, which was much more than what Edward could do. Edward could only read thoughts, except for mine; but Elijah could read and write thoughts, including mine.
"Bella," Kenneth said. "Angela and Ben decided on where they want to go." He looked at me, and sighed. "I know you might not feel right going, but it is Angela's turn."
"Where are we going?" I sighed, because I knew the answer.
Penelope stood up and hugged me. In my ear, she whispered, "Forks Washington." When she released me, I closed my eyes.
Oh how that place brought on memories. The first time we met, the first dinner, the first day at our meadow, our first prom, and the first and only time we slept together. The night of my 18th birthday, the night Elijah was conceived.
All the painful memories returned. The day he left, after creating the bruises on my body. Finding out he didn't love me. Realizing I was pregnant with his child, knowing it wouldn't be normal. Leaving school in the middle of the year, and upsetting Charlie.
Then happier memories came back. Stumbling across Kenneth and Penelope. Giving birth to my son and joining the world that his father lived in. Angela and Ben coming back into our lives, knowing the truth.
I sighed and opened my eyes. "I'm ready. It's about time we came back." I smiled at Angela. She got up and hugged me.
"Thank you, Bella, this means a lot to me." Angela whispered. She released me. "Trust me, you are not going to regret this."
"Okay, I already applied for a job at the Forks Hospital, and Penelope took the liberty of enrolling into school." Kenneth said. "Elijah and Ben will be our adopted sons. They will use the last name Hopper." Elijah and Ben nodded. "Elijah, you'll be a freshman, and Ben will be a junior." Kenneth turned to me and Angela. "Angela and Stella will be twin sisters. You will be my nieces, using the last name Weber." Angela smiled at that. Getting to use her last name again, after so many years.
"So, when are we going?" Ben asked.
Angela closed her eyes for a second, and opened them back up. "In a week." She turned to Ben. "And you're going to wear glasses again. She smiled. Angela could see the future, but it was much better than Alice's ability. Angela saw every course a person could take, and then the most definite one.
Ben groaned. "I thought I would ditch those things for good."
Kenneth chuckled. "Just do what I do Ben. Use clear glass."
Ben nodded. And Penelope clapped her hands. "Okay, let's pack."
I groaned. "Mom! We have a week before we go."
She shook her head. "In a week we will arrive, we're taking the long way." She said.
We lived in Wisconsin, and not the sunny part, either. Elijah could go out in the sunlight, but the rest of us couldn't. So, we chose dreary places.
"So we're actually driving at a human pace?" Ben asked. "Jeez, that's boring."
Everyone left to pack, and Elijah was the only one in the room.
Mom. He called to me. I turned my head towards his direction. Do you ever think about dad?
Often. I told him.
Do you still love him?
I was stumped. Did I still love him after he left me? Of course. We used to be soul mates, even if he didn't think that way anymore. He was my soul mate, and he still is.
I want the chance to meet him. Elijah said, and it surprised me. It doesn't have to be soon, but I eventually want to.
I sighed. I know.
