The sheet entangled me; I squirmed harder as I attempted to break free. Home alone was not as peaceful as most would think. I knew it was only a few days he was spending with his family, and that it only seemed fair for him to go. I just hated being alone. The phone on the nightstand rang and I looked at the clock six ten.. in the morning?
"Hello?" I said groggy and still not awake.
"Hey," it was so nice to hear his voice, calming even.
"I miss you." I said sadly.
"I know Sophie; I just need to see them, that's all. It's been forever since I've seen Bells."
"I know Char, I just hate being alone. Its hard."
"Just think, I talked to the construction crew the house is near ready their just working on the upper wing."
"Can't we move back?"
"With the construction?"
"I could care less. I am so sick of you being there and me half way across the nation."
"I want it to be ready."
I gasped from the new pain. The phone slipped from my hand as I screamed and realized my water broke.
As soon as the pain passed and I got a chance I grabbed the phone.
"I'm going into labor." I said breathing heavily through the next pain.
"It's happening a lot faster than I remember." Charlie said on the other line.
"That was decades ago, Char! Please hurry!"
I hung up and dialed my sister's number.
"It's time," was all I said before screaming
CPOV-
I paced back and forth in the gravel of the Cullen residence. I was unsure of how to handle this only knowing I needed to leave. I yanked the gold ring from my pocket and put it on for the first ime since leaving LA.
I grabbed my credit card and as I walked I dialed the airport.
"Hi, I need a direct route to LA, as soon as possible."
"Okay we have one leaving in an hour."
"I'll take it." I read the numbers off of Sophie's card and let them run it. The thing wsas black, something about it having no limit?
"Okay, your card went through Mr., Swan."
"Thank you."
"Just show them your I.D and credit card at the counter,"
"Make that three," I said last second, "same card just run it again, it'll go through."
"Yes, sir."
Bella came walking into the room as I started to throw my cloths on the bed.
"Are you going to let me in on what's going on?"
"Yes, but I would like it if you came with me. Bring Alice if you want. I feel it's only fair to introduce you to her." I said packing the duffle on the bed.
"She already said she would." Bella said taking my hands.
Her cold skin still came as a shock.
"Sorry," she said pained as she dropped them.
"It's fine," I said sitting down. "Bells remember when I said I was getting re-married."
"Yeah, last year. I was in France when you did."
"Her Name is Sophia. She's in her twenties. Billy joked that it was a mid life crisis I was going through after I realized you were gone. But, I love her Bells. I really do. She said it best when we got married and she said it was like breathing again for the first time, realizing this was who you were meant to be with. I asked Edward not to say anything about her to you. She's a troubled soul, but who isn't?"
"If you love her dad, then that's all that matters. I just hope you don't expect me to call her mom." She said with a teasing smile.
My face fell.
"There's more." She said. it wasn't a question, she knew.
"She's in labor. And here is sit freaking out. it brings back lot of old memories, even if it was decades ago," I said smiling to myself, remembering what she said.
"She's a different person than mom is, you can't blame her for something she didn't do." Bells said standing up. In a rather unreal speed she folded and packed my bag.
"I'll get Edward to drive us." She said kissing my check.
"Thanks," I said as she walked out.
BPOV-
She was young, that's the only thing that kept running through my head. There was so much going on.
Charlie's house was practically being re-built. It made sense now, but didn't hours before.
Emmett and Rose were on the rocks, Edward said they fought. But I knew this time it was different. It was like we were constantly playing babysitter to the two of them.
I walked into the front room where I had left Edward to find him missing. I looked at his mother, my mother, Esme.
"He stepped out, it seemed like Emmett was getting to his last straw."
"Oh," I said.
It was a hard adjustment realizing that even as vampires we still had feelings that were near human, when combined with those we loved it was hard to shake them.
"I was going to ask him to take us to the airport. I didn't want to leave without explaining it to him, but it can't wait either." I said freaking out slightly.
Alice materialized.
"Relax, we'll take my car and leave it in long term." She said.
Esme laughed, it was forced but the look on her face said it was something she needed.
SPOV-
I gasped, gritting my teeth.
"Just think, this will feel like nothing the next time." Julia said as she pressed a cold wash cloth on my head.
"I'm not even going to think about a next time." I screamed as Charlie walked in.
"I'll take over Jewls." He said giving her a hug.
"You made it." I said.
The doctor walked in. Checked me and again said I wasn't far enough. I wanted this to be over.
"If you're feeling up to it, walking is good."
I wanted to laugh.
"Is there something you can do for the pain?"
"In about an hour, we don't want to rush and have it wear off to soon."
I didn't do well with pain. Most times when it was bad enough I passed out. I was near there and I knew Charlie could tell.
"Stay with me Sophie," h said wiping the hair off of my forehead.
"Is she okay?" the doctor asked.
"She's gonna pass put."
"I'm going to order an emergency C- section." She said.
My world went black.
"Dad," a female said.
"Yeah?" I could hear Charlie.
"She's coming around." She said.
"Charlie, I think she is droable." A different felme said.
"Sophie?"
His mouth was next to my ear causing me to smile.
"Where is she?" I croaked.
Charlie helped me sit up and a small girl with short black hair handed her to me.
I looked at her, sleeping. Her features were small and incredibly perfect. What shocked me was the curly red hair that was all over her head.
"Her hair!" I said as I started to sob.
"It carried on. Sophie, you mother would love her."
I kissed him.
"Thank you." I said staring at the small being in my arm.
