Time is a great healer

by Louisa taylor

"I had never given much thought to how I would die when I was human but dying for the one I had loved seemed a good way to die. Now I am a vampire, it seemed as though I had got my wish but in granting my wish. Edward had taken my father and my mother from me in one foul swoop but it led me to being with Data and creating our daughter Renesmee. Now I have closure.

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 1

Data POV

Bella was fast and I struggled to keep up with my vampire wife. "Bella!" I shouted as she sped up leaving a dust trail in her wake. "Data, my father still lives at his house, I see him!"

She stopped just inside the tree line, Jasper had followed and then the wolves came in behind us. Jacob had phased "Bella, are you sure you wanna do this?" Bella scowled "I am in control of myself. jacob, I promise." I jumped into the tree behind her. "Bella, we all have faith in you but your control is not in question here. You have golden eyes, it could frighten your father" Bella took an un-needed breath. "I love you" she breathed softly. I shifted a curl behind her ear. "I love you also. Always have, always will. You gave me a purpose Bella and a reason to exist"

"I have contact lenses in my pocket. I had a contingency plan for this scenario." she kissed me softly, such a soft kiss but it took my breath away. "Ewww, guys, ease up on the lust will ya" jacob yelled and jasper chuckled.

I smiled and we jumped hand in hand together.

Bella's eyes immediately tried to dislodge the foreign body but as she blinked the lenses became more comfortable to cope with.

Jacob decided to go with the public story rather than the truth knowing that humans could not find out about the existence of vampires.

He was in his cut off shorts as he approached Charlie. "Hi...uh...Charlie, we have a surprise for you. When Bella ran off, she kinda had an epiphany" Charlie held his hands out in frustration.

"What...epiphany? Jeez, jacob, you aren't exactly bein' straight with me here. Have you seen Bella?" Jacob groaned as he became rather tense. "She realised that Edward wasn't any good for her so she joined the army...kind of" This was not good.

"You are tellin me that my daughter who trips over her own two feet decided to run off and join the army." Jacob backed off "Like I said...kinda"

"Well, she is on leave and she wanted to visit with you...just to let you know she is happy and healthy." That was our cue "Hi Dad, it is so good to see you again" Bella shouted as I walked out of the trees with her and jasper.
