Chapter 3: The Truth Always Comes Out
Nessie's POV
I loved Edward. Honestly I did. Not in a romantic way but more in a father daughter kind of way. It was strange the affect he had on me. Even though he only visited twice a year I felt a strong connection to him. A bond. I always felt that he loved me like if I was his daughter.
It didn't take me long to see him as a second father either. I looked forward to his visits. To his ice cold hugs that always felt warm and comforting to me. He would always listen to me as I vented about my problems. He would give me advice.
I have some very fond memories of Edward as well. One of my favorites was when I was 10 and first found out about what he was I insisted that he run through the forest with me on his back. He told me to close my eyes but did I listen? Of course not! The dizziness and nausea I got after was enough to make me vomit. Which I did. After that I always made sure to close my eyes when he gave me rides.
He always brought me gifts to. Usually it was money. I always pretended that I found it when my parents asked about it. To me though the real gift was Edward's presence.
I thought I knew him and I thought I knew him well. Now I'm not so sure. Throughout the day I noticed two things. A. How extremely nervous he was and B. How much he was avoiding an equally angry Bella. I just avoided the both of them like the plague.
I stayed true to my word though. At the end of the day Edward gave me a piece of paper with his address on it. I punched it into google maps on my phone and drove there.
I arrived there around the same time that the rest of them did. Bella looked angrily at me. I wasn't sure if the anger was directed at me personally though or just the entire situation that we had found ourselves in.
I cautiously stepped outside of my car and walked up to Edward. I could feel the rest of their eyes boring holes into my body. The fact that they could all end my life in a fraction of a second if they got too angry with me crossed mine and scared the shit out of me as well.
When we walked inside the huge mansion like house two other vampires instantly appeared. For a second I was caught off guard by the man that looked like a much paler version of Maxwell Lord from Supergirl. Carlisle I assumed he was.
Edward nodded his head in agreement.
"Who are you?" the woman, who I assumed was Esme, asked.
"I'm Ren-" I began to say before Bella interrupted me angrily.
"Well actually that's exactly what Edward here is going to explain" Bella seethed in anger. "Because apparently they've known each other for around 14 years now"
I walked over to an extremely nervous Edward. I hoped my presence would calm him down a little.
By the looks on their faces I could tell that none of them knew what was going on. Only Alice and Edward did. The other six of them knew nothing.
"Edward what exactly is going on?" Carlisle asked.
I rubbed his arm and he looked at me reassuringly.
"You all deserve to know the truth. Especially you Nessie. So I'm going to tell you now. Yes I've been keeping secrets for the past 17 years now. Please hear me out before you say anything. Bella when you were laying on that operating table dying you gave birth to a baby girl-"
"What does she have to do with anything?! She died!" The sadness on Bella's face was evident. Even after all these years she was affected by her baby's death.
"Bella I lied. Our daughter was not a stillborn-"
"What're you saying?!" Bella was getting angrier with each passing second.
"I lied Bella she did not die. I secretly took her to an orphanage and left her there for her safety. The wolves, I was afraid of what they were going to do to her when they found out she had been born. I did this for her safety. Alice did not approve-"
"Edward please don't!" Alice begged desperately. She was scared.
"No Alice it's time they knew the whole truth and you're part of that truth since you kept my secret for so long. Alice did not approve of my plan when she had a vision of what I was doing. But remember that makeup she acquired all those years ago? The one that has brought her billions of dollars The one she renamed Sexy Cullen? I bought her that makeup company in exchange for her silence and she agreed-"
"What?!" Bella roared she was ready to kill Alice now.
"Bella I-"
"So you knew the truth and didn't say anything because he bought you a makeup company?!"
"Bella I-"
Emmett actually had to restrain Bella because she was in danger of losing it big time.
Edward continued. "After about two and a half years I began investigating and searching for our daughter and I found her"
"Wait a minute" I choked out. "Are you saying that I'm your daughter?" years filled my eyes.
"Yes Nessie. You're our daughter"
Chaos erupted after that. Bella broke free from Emmett and lunged straight at Edward.
Carlisle yanked me out of harm's way just in the nick of time.
