There's a Reason for Everything
Chapter 3
BPOV
Something was wrong. Very wrong. I needed to breathe.
"Edward? Edward, what happened? I need to breathe!" I started to hyperventilate with my newfound need.
"Calm down, Bella. It's okay. Oh, my God Bella, you have brown eyes." Edward looked like he was going into shock…or be sick.
"Bella?" Alice came over to me, curiosity shining in her deep blue eyes.
"Alice, what happened? My head started to hurt and then I passed out, wake up as a human, and find my sister is also human." I looked around at everyone. "No one else pass out," I told them. Emmett actually started laughing. Rosalie slapped him on the head.
"It's not funny, Emmett Cullen." Rose scolded.
"Sorry Rosie," Emmett looked down and looked like a toddler in trouble. Rosalie smiled victoriously. I saw Edward glance nervously at Alice.
"Alice, I can't believe it, but your vision might actually be happening! Can you see anything else?" Edward asked, curiosity burning in his eyes.
"Besides the fact that I'm hum-"Alice started. Her eyes glazed over and she was apparently having a vision. She snapped back into reality a moment later.
"Emmett, that's not funny." Alice said, obviously annoyed. Everyone looked a bit confused except for Emmett, who was wearing a cheeky grin on his face."Mr. Smarty-Pants over there decided to go hunting, now." Alice explained. Rose smacked him on the head again.
"Sorry! I just wanted to know if she still had her vision." Emmett said.
"So now that it's figured out that you can see things, do you see anything?" Edward snapped.
"Probably, but I don't want to because Mister Grumpy is getting on my nerves! By the way, Carlisle, can you turn on the AC? It's really hot in here." Alice asked.
Carlisle went to go adjust the rarely used thermostat.
Wow. I was sweating. It was hot in here.
Edward pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm down. "Alice," he said under his breath, so low I could barley hear him.
"Why don't we all just go sit at the table to talk things over like the grown adults we are," Esme said, mainly directed to Emmett and Alice. We all walked in and sat down. Carlisle was at the head of the table with Esme on his right followed by Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Alice, me, and then Edward.
As soon as Alice's little butt was in her chair, she started firing questions at me.
"Wow! Bella, how do humans see? It's so dark and blurry. I can't hear anything either. I don't hear anything coming from woods. Argh! And what's wrong with my stomach?!" She started poking it. It was growling.
"Alice, that means you're hungry." I explained. Her eyes showed nothing but fear.
"You mean I have to eat…" She looked over both her shoulders like a child looking for an adult after they just did something bad. "Human food?" I giggled. She was hilarious even when she wasn't trying to be.
"Yes. Human food. It's actually not that bad. You might like it." I encouraged. I looked into her eyes and immediately felt bad. She looked like she was going to start crying.
"Carlisle? Would it be alright if we ordered pizza?" Esme asked. Carlisle nodded.
"What kinds of toppings do you like Bella?" Esme asked me.
"Cheese." It was simple and tasty.
"Alice, is there anything you would like to try?" Esme looked at Alice with pure love written over her face.
"Sausage," she said, making it sound more like a question than an actual statement.
"Alright. I'll go order it. I'll be right back." Esme left the room to go order our pizzas. As soon as she left, even I, the human, was sure I could hear the crickets outdoors.
And then Rose spoke so softly, I'm not sure if it was just Carlisle who was supposed to hear.
"If they really are human, Carlisle, does that mean they'll be able to…to have children?" She glanced nervously around the room. Carlisle sat silently for a while until he cleared his throat and began to speak. He spoke a little louder than Rosalie had.
"There are two different possible theories I have thought up in the past ten minutes that could possibly happen. I'm only making an educated guess, so keep that in mind. Either they will not be able to have children because they haven't menstruated in, Alice's case, years. Another theory is that multiple children produced from the eggs that have just been sitting there. But again, these are just theories. And besides, we still don't know how they are human." Carlisle watched Rosalie's reactions as he spoke. She looked appalled, upset, shocked, and angry at the same time.
Rose looked over at me. She had a calculated expression on her face as if she was solving a very hard math problem in her head. Realization finally struck her features before she started talking.
"Bella, do you remember that time you were kidnapped by Alice and I talked to you?" I nodded slowly. She almost looked like Alice getting ready to go shopping, ecstatic.
"I told you about my history and then I lost it and told you that you were throwing your life away. You asked me if I would like you better if you stayed human. I said maybe."
Yep, she was defiantly Alice shopping.
"It's INDECISION!" She screamed. "Confusion, if you will. Human or Vampire? Mother or Father? Edward or Jacob? Stay or Go? Your power kicked in involuntarily when everyone said something at once. You used it on Alice. She was confused by her vision, so it worked on her, too!"
It was completely silent again, except for a different reason. Everyone was in shock.
"Ha," she said. "I'm smart." She smiled maliciously.
The doorbell rang. The pizza was here.
"We will discuss this issue farther, as soon as you both are finished eating your pizza." Carlisle informed us. He got up from the table to go pay the delivery man.
A minute later, he walked back into the room with one box of pizza.
"I had them put it as half cheese and half pepperoni since I know you wouldn't be able to eat a whole pizza." Esme explained.
I, of course, knew how to eat food. Alice, on the other hand, was just staring at the box as if she were to move, it would kill her. I'm pretty sure that might have been the expression on my face when I found out that Victoria was manipulating Alice's vision, on graduation day. I looked again.
Yep, same expression.
