EPOV:
I watched Bella for what seemed 5 minutes. She looked as if she was in pain but I could only guess how hard it is to lose you family at this age. If it were me I would have surely gone crazy.
I also thought of the plan if it shall work I will be free of Tanya forever. But then I thought of Bella, would she be able to handle being a princess.
I would teach her every thing that she would need to know and I would always be with her when she needed help. I would always keep an eye on her to make sure she would always be smiling
Now there was the matter of explaining to my parents Carlisle and Esme about the marriage and Bella. Also what would Rosalie, Alice, Jasper think about Bella?
I could get the marriage postponed until I could explain everything. Esme always loved children and the entire reason for the marriage was for an heir.
There was no benefit of my getting married except, I would never be alone. All the benefits were given to Tanya and her family. They would receive more land and riches.
At that moment I thought of something so horrible that I saw my life flash before my very eyes. What if Tanya came to ask why the marriage was postponed and she sees Bella.
If she came and saw that a 2 ½ year old girl was taking her place she would kill her without even thinking a thought.
There was only one way to make Bella as safe as possible and that was to keep her with me at all times.
Especially when Tanya was at my family's castle, I would also have to carry Bella with me at all times to keep her safe and not lost in my family's castle.
She would stay in my bedroom to sleep and come with me almost every where. I could ask Esme when I needed her to be watched by someone with enough power to keep Tanya away.
Just then Bella sat up with a jerk she had been crying silently in her sleep and I hadn't even noticed because I was so deep in thought. I picked Bella up and cradled her to my chest.
I started to hum a melody from the last lullaby that I had written. When she calmed down enough, I started to ask her some questions not to get answers but to here her voice. But, all she did was nod.
I held her in my arms until it had become morning. When the sun had risen I kissed her on the forehead and started walking to my parents to explain what had happened the night before.
When I reached my parents room I heard several voices. All of my brothers and sisters voices to be exact. I opened the door and slowly walked inside. I received various looks from every one except my parents, Emmet, and Alice.
"Edward care to explain" Carlisle asked motioning towards Bella. I then explained what happened and my plan of keeping Bella as my heir.
Out of no where Alice yelled "its genius" "Edward why do you not want to marry Tanya, you wouldn't be alone any more" Jasper asked.
I wouldn't be alone but I wouldn't be happy either, it would be as I'm living in a prison no right to do anything.
"Edward we will support you in your plan with Bella as your air but, you will be the one to tell Tanya the marriage is off. You will have three days to tell her for we have already had the marriage postponed." said Esme.
"Now let me hold the heir of this kingdom" Esme said while reaching towards Bella. I gently handed her to Esme who started to hug her.
She then handed Bella to Alice. Alice held her and then said, "Does anyone smell that? She started sniffing the room and then sniffed Bella. Edward I think you missed something in that letter."
What do you mean Alice? "Edward, Bella doesn't smell human." The entire night that I had watched her I hadn't even noticed if she was a human.
"Bella sweetie are you a human" Esme asked her. Bella lowered her head and shook her head and quietly said in the most beautiful voice I had ever heard, "No"………….
