How To Save A LifeChapter Nine:
Andromeda
Last Time:
"Hello?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Emmett .
"Bella? It's Renee. I'm calling to let you know I'm sending you a rather large and cuddly present and in about three hours she'll be there!"
Huh? Renee isn't coming here…I'm lost!
"Really?! You're kidding! I can't wait! Are you coming too? Where is she flying in? O my God, I'm so excited!"
Okay. So its obviously a good thing…what could it be? Damn, I missed her mother's answer!
"She said she'd call? Okay. It's so great I can see her for a bit. Wait! She's staying with me! You're kidding! I have so much to do! Love you! BYE!"
And she screamed in excitement. To be completely honest, my ears may never be the same again! I ran upstairs, flanked by Laura, and I knocked on her door to make my presence known.
"Come in Emmett." I entered, and so did Laura.
"Bella sweetie, what's going on?" I asked calmly so she wouldn't freak again.
"My baby's coming home! My baby's coming home! My baby's coming home!" She repeated while doing a happy dance.
I frowned. What in the wonderful world of Carlisle was going on?
. Laura .
I'm so glad 'Meda is coming to stay with Bella. Yes, of course I know how she even has a daughter…shit, Edward may be listening…Ich bin Auslander und spreche nicht good Deutsch…
. Emmett .
Bella has a daughter…since when? This is confusing. I looked over to Laura who shrugged. It's her story to tell. She thought-said to me, I mentally growled.
"Emmett? Could you please get everyone in the family room and help me get there. Please?" Bella asked, and obliged.
-- ten (vampire) seconds later --
. Bella .
Emmett carried me into the family room, and I waited for everyone to stop talking. Once they did, I started telling my tale…
"So here is my story, when I was nearly thirteen, I was raped by one of the kids in my Phoenix school. Nine months later I had a baby girl, who I named Andromeda Rose Swan. Naturally, I couldn't take care or her, or tell people what happened, so my mom and I told everyone that it was her daughter, not mine. ((A/N: Daniel was sixteen, and Bella was nearly fourteen when this happened to her. Andromeda is six, but like a genius))
"She was going to come and live with me two years ago but I went cliff-diving, and she couldn't come since I was blind. Now, however, SHE CAN!"
Everyone was silent for about two seconds, and then all chaos erupted.
"Everyone shut up!" I screamed. Surprisingly they listened, wow score one for Bella!
The first to talk after I yelled was Emmett. "Who?" was all he said.
"As ironic as it is, his name was Daniel Fig." I said, as if admitting great weakness.
"Wow. That's almost as odd as Newton's name!" Edward said. I turned my unseeing eyes in his direction.
"Edward, the reason for the similarity is that they're cousins. Mike Newton and Daniel Fig are cousins, through marriage but still." Again with the damn chaos.
This time, Alice cut everyone off. "Okay, now that we're up to speed on things, its time to shop. Bella, there is no way you are leaving this house ever again. Charlie can take care of himself and we have more room, not to mention more people power. I'll handle that fiasco in the making, but this is what we're going to do: Edward and Jasper are going to clear out a spare room; Carlisle and Emmett will get stuff for Coon. I'm talking like cover all bases here; toys, food, leash, collar, ID tags, everything! The girls will go shop for her and then go get her from the airport. Now, is everyone clear? Oh, and Coon will go with Carlisle and Emmett to PetCo or PetsMart! Okay, lets get cracking!" She chirped somehow all in one breath.
"Guys, before we go, can I say something to Emmett?" I asked timidly.
"Emmett, I think it will be a shock to you when you see 'Meda. If you know of the constellation, she was a princess who was put in the stars…well, she looks like a princess; Like Rosalie did." I said softly to him.
"Thank you, Bella, for telling me. Have fun." He said, and we left.
At this point I really didn't care where we were going shopping. My little girl was coming home!
