A Twilight's Eclipse - Breaking Dawn AU Fanfiction

By Fantasy Writer

Charlie Swan broke the silence between him and his daughter. "Ok so you're not grounded anymore. But I want you to use your newfound freedom to see some of your other friends like Jacob" Bella winced, she kept trying but Jake wouldn't give her the time of day. "Also" he continued, "I'm going to need your help a little more around here, because your cousin Nicki is coming."

Her eyes lit up "Really? That's great Dad!"Thinking that with someone else here keeping house, she'd have more time to spend with Edward.

"I wouldn't get so excited Bells. That poor kid's had it rough these last ten years. Losing either parents in one form or another. She's going to need help."

Bella sighed, hearing the weight in her father's words. "Oh! I'm so sorry Dad, but I don't see why you need me around more. I mean Nicki can surely take care of herself right?"

Charlie groaned, "Bells, the poor girl has no legs"

Bella blinked as she let the information sink in. "What?" "There was an accident…"

Later, Bella sat in her room thinking 'Ok so I'm free but conditionally:

1, I have to patch things up with Jake if he'll let me.

2, I'm stuck babysitting my 15 year old legless cousin when she arrives.

But that doesn't matter, for soon I will have forever to spend with Edward and the rest of my family. Oh the joys of being immortal! If only Edward would let the marriage idea go. I would give him anything else. Now I understand that things were different in his time but can't he see that doesn't work for now. I mean look at Charlie and Renee: They married young, had me and were divorced within the first two years. And the idea of Children, Forget it! I raised Renee. Not to sound mean, did she do anything for me besides giving birth? Now I'm going to raise somebody else…."
