Chapter 2: Questions
Nessie's POV
I tried to get up and walk all on my own but my grandfather wasn't having it. He picked me up and easily carried me into the house as if I weighed 15 pounds rather then 150.
The inside of his house reminded me of the one I used to live in back in Forks. It was only when my grandfather started working on my leg that I was reminded of the physical pain that I was in.
I watched in horror as my grandfather got a needle and a syringe. I was instantly reminded of the epidural shot I got two months ago. I nearly fainted when I saw that needle. At least it worked like a charm and saved me from the pains of giving birth. He injected the medicine into my leg and immediately the pain began to lessen.
"Nessie if you don't mind my asking how exactly did you injure your leg?"
"I fell out of a tree" I admitted as if it were no big deal.
"And what exactly were you doing in a tree?" he asked, one eyebrow raised at me.'
"I was running away" I admitted as if running away wasn't a big deal.
"And why exactly were you running away?"
I sighed. "I'd rather not talk about it right now. I'd rather tell everybody at once rather then keep repeating myself anyway"
"It's okay Nessie. I understand" I knew that he would. My grandfather had always been extremely understanding.
"Speaking of which where is everybody?" It had not escaped my notice that we were the only two people in the house.
"They'll be here shortly. I arrived ahead of time to set things up. Then got the best surprise of my life" he smiled at me. "What happened to you that night Nessie?"
He was referring to the night I was kidnapped or whatever it was that happened. The truth is that I didn't even know or understand. Last thing I remember was my mother telling me a story and kissing me goodnight. Then when I woke up I was somewhere completely knew. I had been dumped in the alley of some city.
"The truth is that I really don't know grandpa" I said.
He looked a little upset that I couldn't answer his question but the truth is that I really didn't know.
"I have one more question for you Nessie. Where is your baby?"
What the hell?!
"What? How? What-"
"The hormones used to produce milk in lactating mothers like yourself give off a very strong and distinct scent. Most vampires will know a breastfeeding mother as soon as they see one"
I felt the heat flood my face because that's totally not embarrassing at all.
His question brought another round of anger and sadness for me. Where was my baby? I couldn't even answer that question thanks to my so-called 'parents'. They weren't even parents. They were monsters. I would find EJ. No matter how long it took.
My grandfather was waiting patiently for me to answer him.
"He's part of the story I wish to only say once"
He nodded in understanding. "How old is he if you don't mind my asking?"
"EJ is only two months old" I answered with a smile.
"EJ?" he questioned.
"It stands for Edward Jacob"
My grandfather started laughing. I just stared at him in complete confusion. What's so funny about naming my son after two of the most important men in my life?"
"I'm sure your mother will be more then happy to explain" he said, noticing my confusion. Which only caused me confusion to increase. I just shrugged my shoulders and let it go.
"How do you think my parents will react to the idea of me having a baby?"
"Oh Nessie. Your father will most likely find out who the father is, track him down, and want to kill him for even looking at you in that way. Your mother I'm not so sure about"
I gulped. I better not think about Joshua anywhere near my father then. He was the star quarterback on our school's football team, most popular guy in school, and also my baby's father. I better not let my father see my Instagram either. Too many pictures of us kissing on there.
Or my Twitter. Oh dear lord my father would defy logic and die of a heart attack if he saw the things we DM'd each other on Twitter. It was all extremely sexual in nature. Forget my dad, my sweet loving vampire mother would personally kill us both if she saw our messages on Twitter.
"What are you thinking about Nessie?" he asked me.
"Oh nothing" I did my best impression of an innocent smile.
He looked at me suspiciously but said nothing.
"They're almost here" he said.
I could feel the happiness and excitement beginning to fill me up again. Tears of happiness started flowing once again. At long last I was going to be reunited with my family.
I did the best I could to hide my thoughts. I wanted to catch them all by surprise. At long last I could hear all of them pulling up. When I heard my mother's and father's voices I felt my body start to shake from the uncontrolled emotions.
My grandfather handed me a pair of crutches before heading out to meet everyone. It took me a moment to get the hang of my crutches before I began to follow.
I saw everyone before they saw me. Including my Jacob. Jacob the bestest friend that I ever had. He hadn't aged a bit either.
When everyone saw me they gave no signs of having recognized me. Not even my parents. Jesus Christ had I really changed that much?
Rosalie actually sneered and hissed at me. It scared me a little. If I remembered correctly she wasn't exactly fond of having humans that weren't family in our home.
"Nessie? Is that you?" Jacob said.
I smiled. "Well about damned time someone in this family recognizes me right a-"
I didn't even get a chance to finish my sentence before Jacob grabbed me and crushed me against his bare and extremely hot chest.
