I don't own Twilight
The rain pelted down on the ground as Bella stood over the fresh grave, tears falling down her porcelain cheeks. "Oh Katie how could you leave me," She whispered to the rain soaked wind. Her older sister the girl she'd looked up to her whole life was gone.
A cry startled out of her sadness as she looked over at the child nestled in her arms. "Oh Parker what are we going to do." She kissed the babies forehead. She turned around and walked slowly back towards her car being careful on the muddy ground as she held her nephew in her arms. Just as she reached her car a voice called out behind her.
"Miss Swan," turning around she saw her sisters lawyer striding towards her.
"Mr. Banner," She tightened her hold on the baby, fearful of what this man would say.
"This is from your sister; It was her last wish that you would find Parker's father." He handed her a plain white envelope with her name on the front. Bella felt her face lose all color.
"Thank you." The words sounded shaky to even her own ear." Nodding Mr. Banner turned and she watched with fear filled eyes and he got into his car. As soon as he pulled away from the cemetery she opened her own car door. Making sure Parker was situated into his car seat she bent of and kissed his head, pushing his brown curls from his head. "I love you buddy and I'll fight for you we'll get through this." She stood in the rain looking at the baby that had come to mean so much to her in the last year. Closing the door she made her way around the car and slide into the driver seat. She started the ignition to warm the car and staring out at the rain soaked world her hands gripping the envelope she finally swallowed the bile that threatened to raise in her throat.
Opening the flap she pulled out the single sheet of paper. Her eyes welled at the familiar hand writing.
Bella
If you're reading this, that means that I'm gone, now no tears.
Bella tried unsuccessfully to wipe the tears from her eyes and face. She moved her attention back to the letter.
I need you to do me one favor please baby sis, I know I never talked about Parker's father. I also know you've always wondered who he was and why I never talked about him.
"Yeah," Bella sighed "I always did wonder." She talked to herself as if she was talking to her sister.
We cared about each other that much is true but we were never in love. He would have married me if he knew I was pregnant but I didn't want that. He was the prince charming we'd always talked about our whole lives but he's a military man Bella nothing good can come of that. I didn't want to sit around wondering waiting and I didn't want that for Parker either. To Always wonder if he was going to come home.
"God dame it Kate, How selfish could you be." Her hand ripped a small corner of the paper. She felt for this man who had cared for her sister but who had never known he'd had a son. Her sister had always been flaky until she showed up at Bella's house sixteen months ago and five months pregnant Bella hadn't seen her in two years. Kate was four years older than Bella and well Bella had been a home body. Kate had always floated on the wind. So like their mother of course they hadn't seen Renee since they were children. Bella also knew that their father's death as the chief of their small home town when Bella was 19 and Kate was 23 had also affected her sister in horrible ways but to leave a man and not tell him he had a child, She had never expected that. She shook her head and went back to the letter.
I know you Bella Marie stop cursing me, I thought I was doing what was best at the time. I was planning on doing this myself but at 8 weeks after my first appointment they told me I had cancer. They told me termination was the best option but I couldn't I couldn't do it so I swallowed my worry and worked up my courage it took a few months but finally I found my way to your door. You maybe my baby sister but you where always the more responsible one, I knew when I said yes to continuing the pregnancy I was saying no to a long life, I hope I at least made it to his first birthday. I know you'll be the best mother you can to him. please make sure he doesn't forget me and he knows I loved him. Now Bella I need you to find his father. His name and his parents address is at the bottom. I wasn't strong enough to do it myself so my brave little sister I'm counting on you. I'll always love you.
Your sister.
Catherine Louise Swan
Bella wouldn't let herself look at the bottom. She looked in the rear view mirror at the baby in the backseat. Taking a deep breath she knew she had to do this for him. biting her lip she looked down at the bottom of the letter.
Emmett Cullen
7235 west nylon Rd. Boston Massachusetts.
She read and reread the name and address reading her sisters words. Should she look up the number or just show up. She couldn't decide at the moment. She pulled out of the cemetery and all the way home the contents of the letter ran through her head. How was she to know at 25 she'd be in the care of a child? She barley could afford herself she worked at the local diner to support herself as she went to grad school in Seattle two days a week. She was getting her master in Literature hoping to be a lit professor at some point. I parked in my driveway of my childhood home which had been willed to me and Catherine after our father's death. Getting Parker out of the backseat she went inside she spent the rest of the night trying to settle him and her mind. Finally as midnight approached and she crawled into bed she decided the best thing was to show up letter in hand. Hopefully these people would be ok. She shook her head. He was a military man would he even be on this side of the ocean. Though Kate's letter had said it was his parents address.
With a decision made Bella made sure the baby monitor was turned on and let herself fall into a fitful sleep.
