Chapter 4 ~ Bella's House

Bella's POV

I was really nervous now that I had time to think all on my own. What are they going to ask? Of course they are going to ask about Renesmee but what will I tell them? How will they react to her if I told them the truth? Should I tell them the truth? ARGHH… this is so confusing. What am I going to do?

So enough later, we reached the house. As I parked on the driveway, I saw the Cullen's right behind me. Well they did a good job keeping up. ARGHH… I could have made them lose me. Only if I was driving faster and Ren wasn't with me. Now they now where I live.

I got out my car and pulled Renesmee out of her car seat as well. I walked over to the house door and unlocked it. As I entered the Cullens followed me.

"Renesmee go upstairs and change. Please wash your face as well." I told her as I put her on her feet. She ran upstairs to quickly change. Then I turned to the Cullens.

"Umm… You can wait in the living room while I get the groceries." I said well truning around to go back outside.

"Do you need any help?" Jasper asked. I turned around to answer him.

"I think I can get it on my own but thanks for the offer." I smiled. He smiled back.

I quickly walked over to the back of the car and got the groceries. Before walking back into the house I locked the car. As I entered I saw Renesmee walking down the staircase. I walked to the kitchen and place the groceries in the right spot. After that was done, I started cooking.

"Mommy, can I play the piano?" Ren asked. She was standing at the door frame.

Oh yeah. Did I forget to tell that she played a piano? You see she is very musical. Of course she got that from her father. She plays the piano and the guitar. She is pretty good at it for her age. She even knows how to play my lullaby. She learned it from me since I hummed it when she goes to sleep. I missed the lullaby. I wish I could be the one to hear it to sleep. But that is impossible. First I can't sleep. Second I don't think Ed – he would sing it to me. He probably didn't even think about it after he left me. I miss him so much.

"Mommy?" Ren asked again. Oh wow. I have been quiet for a while.

"Oh…Umm… yeah… you don't have to ask me." I answered her back.

"Thanks mommy." She said while running back to the living room and sitting on the piano bench.

I totally forgot about the Cullens sitting there. They had heard the conversation between Ren and me. Now they were all staring at her. She started to play Claire de Lu. The music was so relaxing. After a few minutes the music changed into my lullaby. I heard all the Cullens gasp and they all turned to look at me. I wasn't looking at them though. I was looking at what I was cooking but I saw them from the corner of my eye. Ren was still playing when I was done cooking.

"Angel, your dinner is ready." I called for her.

She slowly finished the music and got off the bench. She walked over to the dinning table and pulled a chair to sit. I placed a plate in front of her. She immediately started eating. She is very hungry. I turned to the Cullens who still were staring at us.

"After she is done eating we can go. While she is eating I'm going to go upstairs and change. Please make yourselves comfortable. Feel free to do anything." I told them.

They all just nodded. Okay that is weird. I went upstairs and changed. When I came downstairs, there was TV on and Ren was sitting on the floor watching cartoons. The Cullens were staring at her. I walked into the kitchen and started to wash the dishes. Everyone in the living room turned to look at me but then turned back to doing what they were doing earlier. After I was done with the kitchen I walked into the living room. I sat down on the floor beside Ren.

"Ren we have to go somewhere." I told her. She looked at me.

"Where?" She asked.

"Well you see… we have to go to their house." I told her while pointing at the Cullens who were staring at us.

"But why?" Ren asked in a little frighten voice.

"Don't worry about it. How about you go get your jacket and I'll turn off the TV. Then I have to call Aunt Ash."

"We are going now?"

"Yes. Honey."

"Kay, I'll get my jacket. Oh can you say Hi from me to Aunt Ash."

"Of course. Now go."

Ren got up and went upstairs. I turned off the TV.

"You guys can wait outside for us. It will only be a few minutes." I told the Cullens.

"Err… sure… we'll wait outside…" Alice trailed off. They all walked outside. I took my cell out and dialed Ashley's number.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey Ash… umm… I wanted to ask you when you are coming back?"

"Yeah well you see that's why I called earlier. John and I are coming back in 2 days. So why were you worried before when I called?"

"Umm… actually I was shocked, confused and worried about Ren."

"Why what happened with her?"

"No nothing is wrong with her. I – I just saw the – the Cullens today at the grocery store." My voice broke twice.

"Oh… so what happened?"

"Nothing… apparently I am going to their house right now."

"But why would you go to their house after all they did to you."

"They want to talk to me." I answered her back.

"You don't have to talk to them. They LEFT you!" Ash was angry now.

"Ashley calm down. I think I can give them a chance to talk at least."

"But they left you all alone with –" I didn't let her finish. I knew that the Cullens would be listening and I didn't want them to know about me being pregnant when they left. I will tell them but not like this.

"I know but I still think I can let them talk to me. It's not like I will be like living with them over something. We are just talking."

"Fine… but what are you going to tell them about Renesmee?"

"I don't know. That's why I called you. What should I say?"

"Bella tell them the truth."

"But… how? I don't know how they will react?"

"Listen Bella. I think they have a right to know."

"I know that they have a right to know."

"So just tell them. Tell them everything from the beginning."

"I will. Kay I have to go."

"Bye."

With that the conversation ended. The whole conversation took about 2 minutes. Ren had her jacket and was waiting for me at the door. I quickly grabbed my jacket and walked outside with Ren on my hip. I place Ren in her car seat and walked over to the driver's seat. I saw the Cullens were waiting for us. When I was in the car, they pulled out and started down the road. I simply followed them.

Edward's POV

All during the drive I was thinking about Bella and the little girl who happens to be her daughter. My family was thinking the same thing. How is that possible? Bella is a vampire and she can't have children. What if she can? No that's not possible. Is it? ARGHH… this is so confusing. Maybe she adopted the girl. But what is she moved on? What if the child was born when she was human? What if? I just couldn't think properly.

So enough later, we reached the house. The house has two floors. There was a small garden in front on it with flowers. There also was a garage which can hold 2 cars. Then there is the driveway. As Bella parked on the driveway, we followed her.

I saw her get out of her car and then she pulled the girl, Renesmee out of her car seat. She walked over to the house door and unlocked it. We just follow her without saying anything.

"Renesmee go upstairs and change. Please wash your face as well." Bella told the girl as she put her on her feet. Renesmee ran upstairs to quickly change. Then Bella turned to us.

"Umm… You can wait in the living room while I get the groceries." She said well turning around to go back outside.

"Do you need any help?" Jasper asked. She turned around to answer him.

"I think I can get it on my own but thanks for the offer." She smiled. He smiled back.

While Bella was getting the groceries we all walked over to her living room and sat down on the sofas. As Bella came back, Renesmee came downstairs. She was wearing a red skirt with a pink tank top. I had to admit this girl was so cute and beautiful. Alice had the same thoughts.

*Oh my, she is so adorable. Look at her dress. It's great but of course it can be better. But for her it's perfect. I wonder how she is related to Bella.* Alice.

Bella walked straight to the kitchen and started placing the groceries where they belonged. Then she started cooking.

"Mommy, can I play the piano?" Ren asked Bella.

Wow the little girl can play the piano. I wonder who thought her. Ren was standing at the door frame of the kitchen waiting for Bella to answer. Bella didn't answer for quite a while. She just stood there staring at nothing. She was spaced out. Finally Ren asked her again.

"Mommy?" Ren asked again.

"Oh…Umm… yeah… you don't have to ask me." Bella finally answered her back.

"Thanks mommy." She said while running back to the living room and sitting on the piano bench.

The piano was shiny black. It is perfect. It wasn't a small piano for a little girl it was actually a big one. I didn't know what to accept from her. I mean she is probably just 5 years old and she can play the piano. I noticed that everyone was staring at her.

Then she did something that I really didn't think she would do. She started to play Claire de Lu. The music was so relaxing. It was perfect. She didn't miss a note or a theme. She played just as well as I could. After a few minutes the music changed into Bella's lullaby. I heard all four of us gasp and then we all turned to look at Bella. She obviously told Ren about the lullaby. Ren actually played pretty well just like I would.

"Angel, your dinner is ready." I heard Bella call Ren.

Renesmee slowly finished the music and got off the bench. She walked over to the dinning table and pulled a chair to sit. Bella placed a plate in front of her. She immediately started eating. She is very hungry. After a while Bella turned to us.

"After she is done eating we can go. While she is eating I'm going to go upstairs and change. Please make yourselves comfortable. Feel free to do anything." She told us.

None of us seemed to know about what to say so we just all nodded. Then Bella went upstairs. After few minutes, we saw Renesmee got up with her plate and walked over to the sink. She placed her plate in the sink and walked over to us. She just stared at us for a while and then turned on the TV. She sat in the middle of the floor and just stared at the TV. She looked nervous and scared. She kept glaring at us after a while and we kept staring at her.

Then we heard Bella walked down the steps. When I looked at her, I just kept staring. She looked beautiful. She was wearing a light navy blue t-shirt which was pressed against her body and showing all her amazing curves. With that she was wearing dark blue skinny jeans that were also pressed against her long slender legs. She was wearing about 4 inches black high heals. I had never seen her wear anything like this. She is unbelievably stunning. I just couldn't stop staring at her.

She continued walking to the kitchen. She washed the dishes. After the dishes she came in the living room and sat down next to Renesmee.

"Ren we have to go somewhere." Bella told her. She looked at Bella.

"Where?" She asked.

"Well you see… we have to go to their house." Bella told her while pointing at us.

"But why?" Ren asked in a little frighten voice.

"Don't worry about it. How about you go get your jacket and I'll turn off the TV. Then I have to call Aunt Ash." Again that name. The girl that called Bella at the store.

"We are going now?" Ren asked Bella.

"Yes. Honey." Bella answered back.

"Kay, I'll get my jacket. Oh can you say Hi from me to Aunt Ash."

"Of course. Now go."

Ren got up and went upstairs. Bella turned off the TV.

"You guys can wait outside for us. It will only be a few minutes." She told us.

"Err… sure… we'll wait outside…" Alice trailed off. We all walked outside.

As we walked outside I saw Bella taking her cell out and dialing a number. We reached the car and listened to the conversation that was happening inside the house.

"Hello?" The woman answered on the phone.

"Hey Ash… umm… I wanted to ask you when you are coming back?" Bella asked.

"Yeah well you see that's why I called earlier. John and I are coming back in 2 days. So why were you worried before when I called?"

"Umm… actually I was shocked, confused and worried about Ren."

"Why what happened with her?"

"No nothing is wrong with her. I – I just saw the – the Cullens today at the grocery store." Bella's voice broke twice. What if she didn't like us?

"Oh… so what happened?" Ashley asked Bella.

"Nothing… apparently I am going to their house right now."

"But why would you go to their house after all they did to you."

"They want to talk to me." She answered her back.

"You don't have to talk to them. They LEFT you!" Ashley answered in an angry voice.

"Ashley calm down. I think I can give them a chance to talk at least." Bella tried to calm her down.

"But they left you all alone with –" Bella didn't let her finish. She stopped her as if she was hiding something. Which is possible.

"I know but I still think I can let them talk to me. It's not like I will be like living with them over something. We are just talking." When Bella said that I looked at my family. All their faces were hurt. Of course she wouldn't allow us back in her life.

"Fine… but what are you going to tell them about Renesmee?" Ashley continued.

What about Renesmee? What is she hiding? I thought to myself.

"I don't know. That's why I called you. What should I say?" Bella answered back in an unsure voice.

"Bella tell them the truth." Ashley answered her back. What truth are they talking about?

"But… how? I don't know how they will react?" Bella said again.

"Listen Bella. I think they have a right to know."

"I know that they have a right to know."

"So just tell them. Tell them everything from the beginning."

"I will. Kay I have to go."

"Bye."

With that the conversation ended. The whole conversation took about 2 minutes. We could see that Ren had her jacket and was waiting for Bella at the door. I could see that Bella grabbed something and picked Ren up on her hip while walking outside. She placed Ren in her car seat and walked over to the driver's seat. Then we pulled out and we saw Bella following us.
