Late That Night
Everything slowed down. I wasn't in as much schock as I was earlier. I laid down on my bed, my hair spreading out all around me. I closed my eyes a few times but all I saw was Edwaed and the mountain lion. The last thing I or the baby needs is more sleep deprivation. I tried a lot of different positions to try and get comfortable. After an hour of trying I just decided to go out into the livingroom. Rosalie sat donw in Emmett's lap kissing him. Alice was seated in Jasper's lap, they were just smiling at each other. And the old couple, Esme and Carlisle, were sitting side beside holding hands. Edward was not there.
"Hi guys," I said coming into the livingroom, my blanket wrapped around my body and I had my teddy bear in my hand.
"Hey Bella." Alice greeted. I yawned.
"What are you guys watching?" I asked and sat down on the floor sitting with my legs crossed.
"Just a movie." Alice said stating the obvious.
"Is Edward around?" I asked looking around trying to find him.
"No why? Need to talk to lover boy?" Emmett asked, Rosalie hit him and I blushed.
"I just-I need to talk to him is all." I said becoming flustered. Is that all that anyone thinks of?
"Oh you love him." Alice said in her singy song voice. "You do." I blushed deep red.
"Alice." Jasper said lightly.
"No it's okay. It's kinda obvious." I said. I guess it was obvious I had a little-or maybe big crush on Edward Cullen... Who doesn't?
"Hey guys have you seen my-" Edward starting trailing off as soon as he saw me sitting on the floor. "journals?" he finished still looking at me.
"Are they sitting on your shelf?" Esme asked. "They're usually up there collecting dust on your book case."
"Thanks... Uh... Esme." Edward said tripping over words as he started staring at me.
"Edward can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Of course." he said and we walked to the kitchen so we could have some privacy away from the Cullen's but thaty was not posible because of vampires super hearing.
"I'm not... I'm not mad at you." I said staring into his eyes. "I'm not."
"Bella what I was said was true. I will never hurt you. Just trust me."
"I do." I took a deep breath. "I really do."
"Bella I love you. I really do. I will protect you. I will love you. Please let me in."
"I trust you and I do love you too." I confessed.
"So does this mean?" he asked. "I mean.."
"Yes!" I said. He smiled and picked me up and spun me around. We walked back into the livingroom and sat down on the floor together.
"This is so exciting!" Alice said.
"What?"
"I'm sorry but we could hear you guys."
"Yeah I forgot the super sensitive hearing." I said. "Vampire. I got it."
"So Bella everyone has a back story... What's yours?" Emmett asked. Rosalie slapped him.
"Now Bella does not have to share if she does not want to."
"No I'll share." I said. "I just need someone else to share. I don't like spot light."
"Of course." Edward said. I took a deep breath adn tried to compose myself.
"My parents were divorced. I hardly saw my dad. I lived with my mom and her recent boyfriend Phil. Phil is an uprising baseball star." Emmett cut me off.
"You'll have to come to one of out baseball games." That earned Emmett another slap.
"Three strikes and your out mister. Got it?" Rose whispered.
"Yes ma'am." he said,
"Phil and my mom, Renne, were going to travel a lot. And I don't really do traveling. So I decided to stay at my father Charlie's house. And it was alright. Just a while after I was staying with Charlie and I got a call sating he was attacked by an animal. But I don't think it was a 'normal' animal. It might have been a wolf or now I think maybe vampire. He was on life support but he was brain dead. He wasn't waking up from his coma. So I pulled the plug. I had no where to go, Charlie's house was getting foreclosed and I didn't want to live with Phil and Renee. So that only left the streets." I said. I really didn't get emotional telling the story. Maybe because I'm not one to get all touchy and emotional all the time. Or maybe it's because Charlie didn't play a big role in my life. He wasn't one to hover or get into my personal buisness unless it could potentially hurt me.
"I'm sorry Bella." Edward said with sympathy growing in his eyes.
"I don't like people who have pity on me." I said. I didn't mean to sound rude but I think that is how it came out.
"Would you like me to share my back story?" Edward asked. I snuggled into his chest and nodded. "Maybe some else will share too."
"Okay." I said and yawned.
"Okay so it was 1918... I was in Chicago, Illinois. My parents were both plagued with the Spanish Influenza. They eventually died from it and when I got it my mother asked for Carlisle to take care of me. I was on my death bed." he said and rubbed the back of his neck. "So.. uhm Carlisle he saved me. He bit me and changed me into a vampire. At first he welcomed me but I declined. There was a period in my life when I rebelled and went against my vegetarian lifestyle. But I only killed those who have committed a serious crime." he said. I just nodded. "But in the end Esme and Carlisle adopted me and now I found you."
"Cheeky." I said and gave a soft smile.
"So you got the power to read minds after you were changed?"
"Yes."
"Are you the only one with a power?"
"No Alice can see the future and Jasper can manipulate people's moods. He can sense peoples feelings." Edward explained.
"Oh." I said. I never knew Alice and Jasper had a gift to.
"Yes." he said. I looked around the room. I spotted Esme.
"Esme would you like to share your back story?" I asked politely.
"Of course Bella." she said with a smile. I saw her and Carlisle interlock fingers. I knew this was my last story. Baby adn I were both very tired.
"I was in Columbis, Ohio at the time. I was sixteen at the time. And I did something I was warned not to."
"Sounds like somone I know." Rosalie said looking at Emmett.
"What?" he asked. "I do not." he said defending himself. Esme shook her head and smiled.
"I climbed a tree and I fell out and broke my leg. And guess who was my doctor?"
"Carlisle?" I asked.
"Yes." she smiled. "He was working there at the time. But he had to leave. But fast forward a few years and I was stuck in an abusive relationship with my husband Charles. And after I found out I was pregnant I ran away, fearing my safety and the babys." she said. She composed herself. If vampires could cry she would be balling. Carlisle squeezed her hand. "A few days after my baby was born he died. And I lost it. I jumped off a cliff attempting suicide. Carlisle found me, with my heart still beating. He changed me. If I would have never fallen and broken my leg I wouldn't be here right now with my wonderful family and you Bella." Esme smiled and pecked Carlisle's lips.
"Okay Bella I wanna tell you my story." Emmett said. I burried my head in Edward's chest. "Bella you listening?"
I yawned and rested a hand on still flat belly.
"Tired Bella?" Edward asked. I nodded.
"I'm going to take Bella to bed." he said and picked me up. I was too comfortable to move.
"It's okay I'll tell you later." Emmett called out as Eward took me back to my room. He laid me down on the bed and I unravelled.
"Lay with me." I said tiredly. Edward climed in the bed and laid dowm even though he couldn't actually sleep. I laid my head on his chest. I couldn't hear his heartbeat. But I knew he still had a heart.
"Sleep now love."
