Chapter 3: Carlisle
Nessie's POV
I actually started to cry as I hugged my grandfather. I had always thought that I would never see my grandfather ever again. Yet, here I was with my grandfather again.
"Nessie why did you leave like that?" my grandfather asked me. I was sure that had it been possible he would have been crying also. "Why would you do that? We came just to find you gone. Your father offered no explanation for your disappearance either"
"Because my father told me to leave. He said that none of you would want to see me after what I had done"
"What are you talking about Nessie?" my grandfather asked me.
"You and everyone else had always told me that I should never have sex before marriage. I had just found out that I was pregnant"
I then looked at my two boys as did Carlisle.
"Nessie we would have helped you. Yes, we would have been a little disappointed, but we would never stop loving you or caring about you because of this. We would have done all that we could to help you. We would have welcomed your children with open arms. We would have loved them the same way that we love you and every other member of this family"
"That's not what my dad said" I told him.
"What did your dad say that made you feel you had to runaway without a trace the way you did?" he asked me.
"I'll show you" I said.
I stretched my hand toward his face and began replaying the events of that morning in my head.
I walked outside the bathroom and saw my father waiting on the couch. He looked absolutely furious. My heart immediately began to pound. He had probably heard everything I was just thinking.
"Dad I-"
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen stop!" Full name. Not good at all.
"How could you do this?! How could you disappoint us this way?! I thought we all taught you better then that!"
I could feel the tears beginning to cloud my vision.
"Renesmee you are a complete embarassment. That is what you are. Nothing but a complete embarrassment to me, your mother, and the rest of this family"
"Daddy-"
"Don't you 'daddy' me. As far as I am concerned you are not my daughter anymore. Because my daughter would have never done something like this! You know what? Leave! Now! I never want to see your face again!"
"But what about Jacob-"
"Jacob doesn't need nor want to be burdened with you or that baby right now. He has a lot of other stuff to deal with right now" dad said.
I was crying really badly now.
"Bbbutt whattt about mom and the rest of the ffamilly?" I was crying so badly right now that I was even stuttering.
"They would all rather see you dead then have you around after what you did. Now I suggest you leave right now before they all return from their hunting trip. Leave and don't ever come back"
My grandfather looked absolutely stunned at what I had just shown him. I guess I would be too. That was something I would have never expected my father to say, no matter how disappointed he was in me.
"Edward really said that to you?"
"Yes. Sadly grandpa he did" I told him. The memory brought tears to my eyes. Every time I remembered it still hurt me.
"Nessie none of that is true. None of it. I can't believe he said that we would rather see you dead! That could not be further from the truth! Nessie we love you! We have all been going crazy with worry these last two and a half years! We have been searching for you non stop. All we have ever wanted was you back home safe and sound. None of us have been the same since you disappeared. Especially your mother. She has been so depressed and worried about you these last two and a half years. You leaving destroyed her. Did your mother ever tell you that there was a brief period of time when your father left her?" he asked me.
"Yes" It saddens me to even think about how my father's disappearance had such a strong affect on her.
"Well your disappearance has had an even worse affect then that. When she is not looking for you she is just withdrawn and depressed"
Now I was starting to cry just thinking about how this had affected my family. My disappearance has clearly caused a lot of pain. Much more then I had ever really thought about.
"What about Jacob? How has he been?" I asked, but fearing what the answer might be.
"Jacob has also been going out of his mind with worry. You are the love of his life. You have no idea how much pain he's been in. Like the rest of us, he can't figure out why you left with no explanation whatsoever" he said.
"Dad said that Jacob didn't want or need to be burdened with me or a baby right now. Maybe he was right. All I would have been was a burden" I told him.
"Nessie you and your children would not have been any kind of burden at all to him. That was just a flat out lie. Jacob still loves you with all of his heart. Once he finds out that you had his children he'll be beyond happy. And once he finds out that your father is the reason that you left and the reason Jacob never even knew you were pregnant with his babies, well, I would not want to be your father. Actually I wouldn't want to be your father anyway because once the rest of the family finds out what he did..."
My grandfather did not even finish that last thought.
"So what are we going to do about my son?" I asked him.
"Well" Carlisle began. "The best thing would be for him to begin treatment immediately. It's crucial that he starts as soon as possible"
My poor son. My poor baby boy. Just thinking about him battling cancer so young. It made me, well. I don't know. It's really hard to describe how it made me feel.
There was also one other thing I was worried about. The cost. I could not afford treatment for my son. I didn't have insurance either.
"Nessie what are you thinking about?" my grandfather asked me.
"I can't afford it" I told him. "Treatment I mean. I don't have much money and I don't have insurance either. I don't know what I am going to do" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Nessie do you honestly think that I would let them charge you for treatment?" he said.
"Um, well-"
"Nessie you don't have to worry about the cost. I will pay for everything that your son needs. Don't you ever worry about that" he said.
"Thank you grandpa" I said with tears in my eyes as I hugged him again.
"Now Nessie I think it's time that we take you home. Your real home that is"
"I would love that" I said happily.
I was so happy. I was going to finally see my family again. The best part was that I got to bring both of my sons with me. Carlisle had given me the okay to take Jacob Jr. home with me.
Carlisle had managed to end his shift early. I was happy, yet anxious at the same time.
"Right now it's just your mother and Jacob home right now" Carlisle told me.
"What about the others?"
"They have all gone hunting"
"Including my dad?"
"Yes Nessie your father is here too. But he is out hunting with the rest of them"
My children and I got into the passenger seat of my grandfather's car. I was going to drive my own but as soon as grandpa saw it he refused to let us ever get in it again. It really was an old run-down car that I was sure wasn't the safest. But it was all I could afford.
As soon as we got to his house I caught the familiar and fresh scents of my mother and Jacob.
I carried Jacob Jr. while Jason was happy to run ahead of us.
I walked in behind Carlisle.
"Nessie?!" I heard two voices scream instantly.
Before I saw her I felt her. Cold arms embracing me as tightly as they could. She kissed me over and over again. I could hear sobs resonating in her chest. My mommy. I started to cry for what felt like the millionth time.
"Mommy" I said.
Next thing I know I'm being hugged to death by warm arms. I could hear Jacob crying and I could feel his tears hitting my body.
"Nessie don't ever leave like that again"
"I won't" I promised.
"Mommy who they?" Jacob Jr. asked me.
"Kids this is your daddy" I said. "Jacob these are our sons Jacob Jr and Jason"
