The Truth

We pull up to Grandpa Charlie's drive way and I quickly jump out and run to the door and knock several times. "Wait for us Rene you don't want to scare him." Bella says. The front door opens and an old man in a wheelchair is in the door way. "Billy Black!" Bella yells excitedly while running up to him to give him a hug. "Bella? It's been years." says Billy as he looks at her up and down noticing all the changes he had expected to see. He hadn't seen her since she had left for her honeymoon with Edward 10 years ago. He knew when he'd see her again that she would be changed. He also had heard from Bella's father Charlie that she had given birth to a little girl right after the wedding. He knew that little girl would be different too and that that was the reason why they had moved away. He turns to look at Rene and smiles. "Hello there you must be Renesmee your grandfather has told me so much about you, I was kind of expecting to be meeting a little girl but you're so grown up." He sticks his hand out. "Hi nice to meet you Billy, I'm sorry I haven't really heard much about u." she said as she shook his hand. "Billy as you probably can tell Renesmee isn't exactly normal. My father Carlisle determined at birth that she was half human and half vampire. You could call it a hybrid. She grows at an abnormally fast rate and over the years that has slown down a bit." Edward says to Billy. "I can see. Well how are you planning to tell Charlie about this? He's planned a whole day of fun activities for a little girl." "Well we were thinking of just telling him all of what has been going on. Every little secret that has been kept from him will come out today. We hope that you will be there to help us keep him calm." Says Bella. "Well I hope we don't spill all the beans, I don't think he really needs to know about my son just yet. It might over whelm him a little too much." He says while looking at Edward and then back at the door. I wondered what he meant about his son. Was he a vampire too? "Listen why you guys don't come in. Charlie went out for a few beers he said he'd be back soon." They all follow Billy inside with Renesmee's luggage in hand. They sit on the couch catching up and telling a few jokes. Right as Billy was telling the punch line to one of his favorite jokes Charlie walks in and looks a bit shocked. "Bella? Is that really you?" he runs over to her. Bella gets up to hug her father. "Yeah dad it's me." she says with a wide smile on her face. "Oh my god I just can't believe it you look so different. Your hair, its bright auburn did u dye it?" he asks. "No dad I haven't been dying my hair. This is just my new natural color." She says. "Oh wow, your eyes are golden brown. Are you wearing contacts?" he asks with a puzzled look on his face. "No dad I'm not wearing contacts. But I think you might need glasses cause you have yet to notice your granddaughter sitting right there." She says while pointing to Rene. Charlie turns to look at her. He is in even more shock to see a fully grown teenager. Rene gets up and runs over to hug her grandfather for the very first time. "Hey Grandpa Charlie, I'm Renesmee." She says. He hugs her back and looks at Bella with confusion. "Um dad there's a few things we need to tell you. I know you might not believe what we are about to say but you need to know." Bella says. "Well I hope it all explains why my 10 year old granddaughter looks like she's 18. And why you've been gone for 10 years and haven't come to visit once!" he says with a stern voice. "Charlie everything we are going to tell will explain everything that you have been questioning since the day me and Bella started to date." Edward says.
I look at my grandpa as his face get red with anger and confusion. I know I'm not what he expected to see and that he's mad about not being told anything about our leaving after I was born. I sit back down on the couch next to Billy and listen to my parents and him talk. He sits down and my dad starts to explain everything. Once he tells him he is a vampire I see him cringe with fear and looks at mom and me and his face goes white. He must have then realized that mom was a vampire too. He's probably thinking I am one too. Then my father starts to explain what had happened after the wedding on his and my mom's honeymoon and how she was pregnant with me. he looks like he's going to throw up hearing how my mom had giving birth to me in such an awfully disgusting way. I turn to look at Billy and he has no reaction to it, like he's heard things like this before. They soon get to when my mother's best friend Jacob who is Billy's son ran off in anger when he found out my mom was changed into a vampire. Jacob apparently has no idea I was born and that we are even in town.
Charlie's face is still pale white. Almost as pale as my father's face. He seems to still be in shock with all that he was told. My mother and father look relieved to have finally of told him the truth about everything. I also feel relieved and excited to finally be here with him to spend time with him. Hours later after having given him the news my parents decide it's time to leave. But before they walk out the door my mom goes over to Billy, I hear her ask him a few questions I'm not too sure what they were about but I knew they were about Jacob. "Billy how's Jacob doing? I really hope to get to see him next time I'm in town." She looks down at Billy. "Well Bella, to tell you the truth I have no idea how he's doing, I don't even know where he is. After he had gotten the news that you had been changed he came back to La Push and left me a note saying he was leaving. He's been gone ever since." He says with a sad look on his face. Bella kneels down to hug Billy one last time before she leaves. "Well if you ever her from him tell him I said hi." "I'll do that Bella." He says. "Well I guess this is goodbye dad." Bella says to Charlie. "We'll be back before summer break is over to pick up Renesmee." "Okay honey I'll see you then." Charlie says. "Thank you for understanding Charlie, I hope Renesmee has a fun time here with you. I hope you can keep her safe for us." Edward says while shaking Charlie's hand. "I sure will. She's in safe hands with me. now you guys better get going I hear it's going to start raining and you don't want to get stuck in traffic again." He hugs Bella one last time. Then Renesmee runs up to her parents and hugs then tightly. "I love you mom and dad." Rene says while looking up at them. "we love you too." Says Edward with a smile. I watch them walk out the door and head to the car. Charlie shuts the door and I go up to the window to watch them drive off.
Billy is sitting right next to and notices I have tears in my eyes. "don't you worry Renesmee they'll be back soon. I don't think they'd leave you here forever. And even if they did you'd be perfectly safe here with us." Billy says. "I know I'm just going to miss them, I haven't been apart from them ever. Also I don't mean to be rude Billy but could you call me Rene, I don't really like my full name." I tell him. "sure René." He winks at me and laughs. "okay Rene come with your old grandpa Charlie I'll show you up to your room." I follow him up stairs with the rest of my bags and see him go into the room on the left. "this is your mother's old room. I fixed it up a bit, I hope u don't mind the flowers and pink wall paper. I expected to have a little girl stay in this room." He says. "I know its ok I actually like pink." I say with a smile. "I'll just leave you to get settled in, I'm going to go into town for a bit with Billy to pick up dinner. I'm not much of a cook so we'll be ordering out most of the time." Charlie says as he walks out of the room and down the stairs. So I spent my time organizing my things into my new room. Charlie and Billy come home around 8:30 with dinner and we sit at the table talking about all the things we have in common.
Later on that night I sit in front of the window in my room and watch the clouds move to hide the stars. I look into the dark forest below and think about maybe talking a walk through the trees the next morning. I lay bed thinking about how happy I feel having my grandpa Charlie know who and what I am. Having met him has made that empty feeling inside go away somewhat. Yet I still feel like I haven't fixed it completely. I fall asleep and dream of all the wonderful things that I'll get to do with him while I'm here.
