First of all, I just want to thank you for reading my story. This is a first for me but I really enjoy doing it. I hope you gonna keep following it. Please review !
BPOV: October 18, 2010
It was 6 o'clock and I was coming back from work. I was exhausted, my back and feet were killing me and I had a terrible headache. Ever since I told Mike about the baby I was feeling extremely lonely and every little thing I had to do was always very complicated. I stopped at the mail box, took the letters without even looking at them and went straight inside my apartment.
I made myself a cup of tea with vanilla syrup in it and sat on the coach going through all the mail I got. After one bill and two ads, I finally saw three letters coming from oversea.
"AH finally, a letter from Jasper." My brother and I had always been closed even if we didn't have the same parents. He was my stepdad's son. My parents got divorced less than a year after I was born. My mom took me across the country and got remarried a few months later with Phil. When Jasper was 6 and I 3, Mon and Phil died in a car crash so we went to live with Charlie. Even at 6 years old, Jasper was already very protective and he refused to leave me so went Charlie came to take me back to Forks, he took Jasper with us and raised him like his own son. I could wait to see what he was thinking about Mike. I hesitated a lot to talk to him about the fact that I was going to be a single mom because I knew how protective he could be and I knew he would want to be with me. But even if, he still had 9 months to do, I had to tell my brother. He couldn't be here for me during the pregnancy physically but still he was there with me in my heart.
Belly bells,
I am so angry at Mike, I can't begin to tell you how much I am made at him. It's killing to not be able to be there for you. If I could just take the first flight back to Seattle I would but the army would never let me …
When I read your letter, I went crazy and thank god my buddies where there to calm me because I would have ruined my authority with the new recruits…
Have you told dad about Mike and the pregnancy? God, I wish I was there to help him kill the mother fucker! Please tell me that you will not take him back if he wants to. You know it doesn't matter if it's your bio dad that he the one raising you. The only thing that matter is that the guy love you and clearly he doesn't love his child…
Please keep me update in anything concerning your pregnancy and your life. I miss you like crazy and I will try to call you soon.
I love you bells, take care of you please…
Jasper
PS: First Lieutenant Emmet McCarty and Captain Edward Cullen wrote you a letter. I don't know what they say in them but I thought it was very nice of them… love you.
"Wow" I thought to myself one again Jasper had said the right words and they went straight to my heart. Mike was may be my baby's daddy but it didn't mean that he was the right man to help me raise my little one …
Jasper was so right about Dad. He was so going to hunt Mike but for that I would had to tell him first… I was so not looking forward this conversation.
I took the second letter and saw that it was from First Lieutenant McCarty.
Dear Bella
I hope you don't mind me calling you Bella. It's just that Jasper is only calling that so …
Jazz man just told us about your ex and all I can think about is that maybe it's not such a bad thing. I mean what kind of man does that? I know it must be hard and you must feel lonely but I feel like I know you with everything that Jazz told us about you. So if you ever need to talk or more precisely to write to someone please do; I will happily reply.
Take care of both of you and I will take care of your brother.
Sincerely, Emmet McCarty.
This Emmet was very nice to say that. And suddenly, I felt less lonely; as if I had another brother protecting me. Jasper and he were right. I was better without Mike. I didn't even love him; it was just a comfortable situation. He was nice, we would go out, walk around the park but he was more a friend than a lover. I finally took the last letter. The one from Captain Cullen.
"It was one hell of a night" I thought to myself. I suddenly felt the urge to cry. Those three men, my brother and his two friends were already better for my baby than his own father. Maybe I should search on the internet to see what I can do to prevent Mike from coming back in our life. I probably should contact a lawyer or something. I don't know, was it such a good idea. I really needed someone here in Seattle to talk to… I took my phone and quickly dialed Edward's sister's number before I regret it.
"Hello?" I heard her say
"Hum, Hello, hum, my name is Bella and …" I didn't even have time to finish before she cut me.
"Oh my god, Bella? Is it you? I just received Edward letter telling me about you. I am so happy you called me; I can't wait to meet you, and get to know you. We are going to be best friend I just feel it. When can we meet? Tomorrow? Or I could totally see tonight! Why aren't you answering?" Wow, that woman can talk I mean wow.
"Hum, you didn't let me the time to answer you" I told her honestly
"Bella, you're so silly! So when can we meet? Tonight?"
"Hum, Alice, it's very nice of you but tonight I just want to take a bath and go to bed but maybe we could see each other Saturday for lunch?"
"Oh, but, it's in three days, I don't want to wait that long…" I was already imagining her pouting over the phone. I had to laugh.
"Alice, three days is not so long. What do you say we meet Saturday at noon at "Le café"?"
"Fine, but we are going shopping after and I will not take no for an answer."
"As long as every hour I can take a break it's fine."
"Ok, bye, see you there!" I told me squealing.
"Bye, Alice."
I got up, made myself reheat a portion of lasagnas and went to take a long bath with my iPod. As I went to bed I began to rethink about my evening and how my life had change in one hour.
