Chapter 3: Flashing Back

(CHRISTINE'S POV)

"Wow," Bella said, "That's one intense story Christine!" I had just finished explaining my past to Bella that i told to Jacob and the rest.

"Tell me about it!. So really Bella, how are you really feeling," Bella and I were alone in the living room. Our family gave us some space to bond and gave me time to see what her purposes were for keeping the child living on inside of her.

"I'm great really! And I know most of them want you to try to reason with me on getting rid of him but I won't. He's my son. I want him!"

"It's a boy?" Edward never mentioned thy got an ultra sound reading....

"Well, we don't know yet... But I think it is. When ever I close my eyes. I see his tousled reddish, brown hair just like his father's..." She smiled distantly, "I can't take away a life that he deserves. Whatever I may have done to make the others feel I don't deserve him doesn't give them the right to try to take him from me..."

"Oh no no no no no sweetie," I Stammer out quickly, "No one is trying to tell you that they think you are unfit to be a mother. They're concerned about the fact that the child is half vampire, and is making you look like a live a half starved skeleton."

Bella looked away, with tears forming in her eyes. "I know," she muttered pathetically, "He's just starving also. He's hungry and just a bit strong"

Hmmm... hungry.. Half-vampire... maybe blood?

I look towards the doorway, knowing Edward would have heard my thoughts and sure enough, he was standing there, passively looking upon us.

"Could it be that simple," he asked so quietly only I could hear. And what I heard was a man suffering a great deal more than he was letting bella on about.

"I'll be right back Bella. I need to speak to Edward." I swiftly rise from my place at her side and joing Edward in walking towards the piano.

At first we didn't speak. He just stood there silently assessing my thoughts.

Edward, whether or not you brought me here to try to convince Bella not to go through with the pregnancy or if you really just wanted to know if I've ever come across this, I cannot tell her to abandon her baby. She loves him already, so dearly and so deeply that I can instantly tell that if she dies for him, she'll be happy just to know that the child is safe. And I have to say if I was in her position myself, I'd do the exact same thing.

At this thought he looked at me with confused eyes.

Out-loud I replied, "Look at me Eddie," I use my old nickname for him, " I'm never aging, never growing, and have been alive way past my time to be here. I can never have a child just as Rosie can't. I'm stuck in a void of never being able to have that possibility. And frankly, that just plain sucks. Its her choice to make and all we can do is help her through it."

"You're right," He sighed, "That's all we can do.

I wanted to say more. To somehow ease his pain. It hurt seeing my brother stand there as if the whole world were falling apart.

"What about that last part you were thinking in there," he asked, "about the blood?"

"Well its just a theory," I tell him, " but if the child is half-vampire maybe what we need to try is a diet more like your own. I mean, Bella looks starving, the child probably is as well."

"That just might work. I'm gonna go get Carlisle and see what he thinks." Edward quickly rushes up the stairs.

Well Christine... Haven't seen quite everything now have ya!?

Oh... be quiet!

Still it beats the surprise of shape shifters doesn''t it?

Yeah... that's one thing I'll never forget....

FLASHBACK

"HAHA! Ephriam, I'm gonna be late as it is now I'll see you tomorrow!" I shout buoyantly over the roar of the waves.

"Okay Okay but someday your gonna have to have me meet your family Christy!!" I hear the distant reply

Sure hope not anytime soon.

Feverishly, I hurry back to my families hunting ground. It was a good thing that my skin was indestructible and that I didn't even smell like a human(unless you counted my shampoo and soaps) because once I got there my family was spread out, eye's glowing yellow, with fresh deers in their hands.

Hey Chrissy!" Emmet bellowed, "Wanna bite?" he cock's his head towards me, offering out the leg of the deer he just finished mauling.

"Ah.... no thanks. I'll stick to the cooked kind up at the house." I tease back

Stifled giggles erupt out of my family, just as Carlisle stands, forgetting his own meal.

"What?" I asked quickly, "Is it a human? Carlisle, whats wrong?"

"No, its not human," he whispers.

Suddenly, my whole family is faced off against a pack of three very large wolves.

"They're not what we think," Edward said.

And before my eye's, The largest of the wolves transformed into a man. The tremors rippling the body from furry and rugged to tan skinned and familiar. No... No it can't be... And right before my very own eyes, standing just were the large wold was standing before was none other than Ephriam Black

"You will not harm any humans here. Me and my brother's will fight and take back the girl. You cannot have her!" Ephriam's voice, usually so soft, was radiating power and position, I was even scared.

Carlisle, already knowing the danger we were in, was trying to make them see the truth. "No wait you don't understand. My family and I are vampires, yes but we are not a harm to any humans!"

"LIAR!!" Ephriam shouted and pointed at me, " And just what is she, huh? A snack for you all to share!? You kidnapped her on here way back home!"

"No Ephriam," I cried, "Its not like that. They are my family!" I move myself out in front of him, blocking my family the best way I could."

"Careful Christine," whispered Edward, "He's very close to transforming. You could get hurt."

"Ephriam would never hurt me," I brushed off, "Listen, Ephriam. Look at me."

I waited till his eyes left Edwards and turned to mine. That was when I told him my story and how my family survived without feeding off of humans. At first, It didn't look like he believed me. But when he saw the dead deer that we simply forgot about and when I showed him how my own pocket knife couldn't even scratch me, I saw his eyes full of pain and knew, deep down, he believed.

"Fine. We will promise never to hunt your family, as long as you never bite another human." Ephriam stated.

My family promised and hurried on back towards our side of the border. I stayed behind searching for something in Ephriam's eyes that might say we were still okay. But all I saw was pain and agony. Never had I wished for a gift like Edwards as much as now. Just to hear that he still cared for me. Still wanted me. But, all i could see was that nothing would ever be the same.

Those eyes that would forever haunt me till the end of my days... if they ever came.

Present Day

I don't know how fate could put me in this spot and make me see the one thing I never wanted to see again. The very same eyes that were Ephriam's, now belonging in Jacob's head, and looking at me the same way that cruel and helpless night.

Here we go again....
