"Grandpa Edward." A delicate voice said to me. I turned my head slowly to see my beautiful granddaughter.
"Hey Sophie-Ana. How are you?" I said while looking at my granddaughter, and she looked like her grandmother, Bella. And I miss her dearly. I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 82 and I wasn't going to be around anymore longer. Isabella had passed when we were 83 a year after my diagnosis. She was murder at gun point at the while on her daily stroll around the neighborhood to the grocery market. And I still regret the day I didn't go with her. Sure I was an old man, but I could have been there for her when she needed me most. I feel the tears prickle down my eyes as I begin to remember the day my son came to tell my wife had passed.
Flashback
"Dad." I looked up to my son, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen Jr. He was an exact replica of me except he had Bella's eyes.
"What's up Jr.? Everything alright?" I said as he walked over to my bed and held my hand. My daughter Renesmee, Madeline and Jacqueline came in following my other boy, the twins Ryan and Skyler.
"Kids, what's wrong?" I said as I slowly got up to see their teary eyes.
"Dad, mom's in the hospital." Jr. said slowly I got up quickly and tried to get up. Even though all the pain I still had to leave. I had to get there. I have to see my Bella.
"No Daddy please. Your sick please rest." Renesmee begged.
"FOR WHAT? YOUR MOTHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL." I began to protest and shout loudly before hacking up a big cough. I let the tears fall and sobbed. My children huddled with me.
"Kids bring me to your mom." I said solemnly while I looked at them. They all slowly nodded and agreed to take me. They got me in a wheelchair and pulled up to the side of their cars.
I remember the car ride was so quiet and still. Tears upon my daughters faces and I couldn't be strong enough. They escorted me into the room and I saw my Bella, hooked up to all those tubes and it broke my hear. I saw the way her long grey curls were fowling from her head. Her heart shaped faced beyond the stage of pale. Her lips seemed to make a frown. Her wrinkles deepened as she struggled to breath. And eyes were shut.
I cried out to her.
"Bella, my love, wake up. Please open your eyes." I silently begged through my tears.
"Open your eyes my love. Let me see your beautiful brown eyes. Don't leave me without saying good bye." I held onto her hands and kissed it.
She opened her tired brown eyes to me and smiled.
"Edward. I thought I was going to die." She sighed out to me.
"No, no, no my love you're not. You're not, you hear me?" I held her hands as tightly as I could.
She slowly closed her eyes and said, "Edward my love, my times coming." When she said that, I cried out even more.
"No! you're not. You promised me you wouldn't leave. You promised on our wedding night. We would be together for as long as we shall live. Don't leave me my love." I cried out thinking of anything to say that will make her stay with me. Even if it was a minute longer it all counted.
"No, it is my time my love. It is time for me to go." She sighed out once more.
"No you said you loved me!" I cried out even more.
"My love, we lived a long and wonderful life together. You made me the happiest girl alive when we were young; you made me the happiest women when you married me. You made me happy when I felt so low. You made me the happiest when we started out our family. You made me the happiest when you would kiss me so gently and hug me so tightly. You made me feel beautiful when you made love to me and held me close on our nights together. You made me happy the day you said those three words. But most of all you made me happiest when we grew old together." I cried through all the words she's said to me and it made me yearn to hear her say those more and more till we passed together.
"Bella, my love. I love you so much." I kissed her hands once more.
"Edward love, promise me that when I leave, you'll live a long and happy with life with our family and be happy till your very last breathe. And when we are reunited at the other side, we shall live together forever." She sighed out.
"I promise my love." I said through my tears and cried when I felt she was losing grip on my hand.
"Edward. Kiss me once more." She sighed lovingly
I struggled out of my chair and leaned over her bed and kissed her lips. Her lips were slightly warm and I wanted to feel it every day until the very end of our lives together. Not the end of hers. Not the end of mines, but the end of both outs.
"I love you" she sighed
"And I love you my dear. With all my heart and soul." I reassured her bacl
"I'll see you on the other side." She smiled her gentle smile and closed her eyes. Heaving up her last breath she died. And I cried.
"BELLA!" I screamed out hoarse.
"BELLA, PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!."
"PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
I collapsed at her bed and tried to get up with all my might, but I just couldn't. I struggled and struggles. At the verge of giving up Jr. came and lifted me onto her bed where I cried and held her close. I looked over to see my children. Teary eyed as they came close and hugged me and Bella together each of them crying out just like me."
END FLASHBACK
"Grandpa! What's wrong?" snapped out of my memory as I felt my granddaughter's soft hands brush my tears away"
"Oh ho, silly me. I didn't mean to do that darling." I chuckled as I whipped the rest of my tears with my old, wrinkled hands.
"You can tell me Grandpa, you always listened to me." She said.
"Well baby how old are you?" I asked.
"I'm 18, Grandpa. How could you forget?" she teased me.
"Oh no. It's just you grown so much. You know you look like Grandma Isabella" I said and smiled at her name.
"You think so?" she asked me through her brown eyes and I nodded.
"Yeah baby you do. You have her smooth ivory skin and her beautiful brown eyes and you got her waves too. Except the bronze is mines." I said and held my granddaughters curls.
"I know you miss her grandpa. I miss her too." She smiled sadly at me.
"I know baby. You remind me of her so much. You even got her clumsiness." I chuckled out to her.
She held my hands close.
"I married her when we were both your age. And darn straight I loved every single day we were together." I smiled through my tears. She hugged me close and it felt like Bella was hugging me again. I felt as if her warm embrace was holding me close. I felt as if it was Bella's small soft hands were wiping my tears. I felt as if she was still here, alive today.
"I love you Grandpa don't be sad. Just think of her being on a vacation. We will see her soon." She hugged me close.
"I hope so. I miss having her here. If it wasn't for you, I'd be a lonely old man." I stated.
"Don't say that grandpa, I'm here for you no matter what." She stated. I know she was trying to make me feel. It kinda did. I loved out moments like this where we could talk and I could share wonderful stories of my life with Bella.
"I know Mom and Dad is busy and all but we visit all the time. Don't ever say that to me! Or I will move it and stay with you." She said to me.
"Oh no you don't. You're going to go to school this fall. You're going to get yourself a good education. You're going to meet the one man that will make you happy. You're going to marry this young fellow and you're going to start a family and live happily. Don't let me stop you from having your life." I breathe out to her.
"Okay Grandpa, but I'm staying till fall so you're not getting rid of me this easy." She started. 'Stubborn. Just like Bella' I thought
"You know your middle name is her middle name too? She was Isabella Marie Cullen and your Sophie-Ana Marie Cullen." I said to her and she smiled through the tears.
"Really Grandpa?" she asked.
"Yep, and we were so happy when we your father told us. It was the happiest your grandma has been. And now you're growing up and gunna leave old grandpa here when you're off at college." She smiled at me.
"I want you to keep something Sophie-Ana. Here you take this." I pulled out a small but silvery heart locket engraved with the Cullen crest.
"It was your grandmothers. I gave it to her the day we got married. She left it for me to give to someone special in the Cullen family. I think you need it more than I do." I said and she gasped at the locket.
"Grandpa, this is so valuable. I can't it."
"But you must my dear. Do it for old Grandpa. It'll mean the world to your grandmother if you kept this." I said as I motioned her to sit down so I could it put it on.
"There. It looks beautiful on you. Just like if did on Bella." I said to her.
"But why now grandpa?" she said as she held it.
"Because, I won't be here long enough to give it to you on your wedding day." I said as she looked at up to me. I could see the tears forming in her brown orbs.
"No grandpa, don't say that. You said you're gunna live till your 200 for me. She laughed through the tears.
"I know grandpa made that promise. But it seems like times running out for me soon. But you keep that. Remember your Grandpa and Grandma." I smiled. She was sitting with me on my bed in silence. But it was comfortable and peaceful until she said, "Grandpa, can you tell me about you and Grandma?"
"Well it all started in high school…"
