Chapter 2
Carlisle's POV
I couldn't believe it!!… There standing 2 feet away from me was my daughter!!
I didn't care that I as in a parking lot in front of a lot of people I went and swooped her off her feet. I kissed her hair.
"Bella honey is that really you?" I asked.
"Of course it's me dad!" she replied with a happy sigh.
"What happened to you?" I asked. "How were you turned into a vampire?? "
"Umm, dad, can you put me down." I gently placed her on the floor.
"Soooooooo I asked?"
"If you don't mind dad I would rather tell you about it in a disclosed place away from human ears." I looked around and sure enough everyone was staring at me.
"Your right bells come on." I opened for her the seat of the passenger door, closed it and climbed into mine. As I started the engine she asked
"Where are we going?"
"Home." I replied. She noticed as I sped over 200 miles per hour. "Someone's in a hurry aren't they?" she teased.
"Esme is going to be so ballistic." I retorted. That stopped her in her tracks.
"Esme?? "She asked incredulously, "aunt esme?? You saved her didn't you!! Oh I'm so glad!! How many others have you saved" She asked
"Another 5," I continued "they're like children to us in a way" she nodded.
"Do you want to know about them??" I asked.
"No need." she replied. I looked at her in surprise. Miss I want to know everything Bella said that. She seemed to be reading my mind because she answered,
"I already know every thing I need to know about them." I looked at her incredulously. She took one look at me and said.
"Like I said let's wait until we get back to your house and I'll explain."
"My house?" I asked her. "Bells honey it's our house now. You are more than welcome to stay."
"Thanks," she said enthusiastically. I took a closer look at my daughter as a comfortable silence hung between us. She was the same Bella same features except more prominent and beautiful. Even more than rose. She wasn't going to like this. I took in her face. 2 lovely yellow eyes stared back at me. Wait yellow?? Not topaz??
"Bella what's wrong with you?? Why do you have weird colored eyes??" She looked back at me smiling.
"Dad 300 years has done nothing to your patience. I said I'd explain at your-our home and that's what I'm going to do." I shook my head. Yup, same old Bella alright, same old stubborn Bella!!
Esme's POV
I hung up the phone. Bella the name caused me grief. My poor sweet Bella I thought. She was my happiness in my old days. Of course Carlisle and the kids are my happiness, but it's not the same without her. Bella had done everything to me, stood up to my abusive husband, she took the beatings instead of me, she stayed by my side during my pregnancy and spoiled me. My poor niece. She had died of a heart attack 8 months into my pregnancy. It caused me so grief that I had my baby early, and then it died!! That's why I jumped off the cliff! I had nothing to live for, sweet bell was gone and so was my baby!! Then when Carlisle saved me I had found out she was his daughter. Bella had told me about her father I had just never met him. We shared our memories of her and we instantly connected over my niece and his daughter. We started out loving each other for what we had done for her and then we realized how we loved each other for ourselves not Bella. Oh the poor dear even in her death she brought me the happiness of being with my one true love! I started dry sobbing quietly. Just then I heard the Carlisle car coming only a mile away. I quickly went to the living room and sat with my children. I composed my face and tried to conceal my sadness. If it wasn't for me it was for Carlisle. If it wasn't for Carlisle it was for the children. If it wasn't for the children it was for Bella I thought as the car came up the drive way. She would have-. All of a sudden my children stiffened, and sniffed the air cutting of my thought... It was a new vampire's scent. I ignored it. It was probably a nomad. as Carlisle burst through the door... I finished my last thought. She would have wanted me happy even in her absence.. oh sweet loving-- just then The most beautiful vampire jumped out behind Carlisle. She looked me straight in the eye.
"Damn right I would!"
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!!
