Chapter 10

I looked away from Emmett. I could not he was bringing this up again. Especially at a time like this!

"We need to get back, Rosalie might need us," I said quickly. I stood up and got ready to go.

"Why do you always avoid this subject?" Emmett asked as he hurried to catch up to me.

"Because there is nothing to talk about," I replied as I hurried along the streets.

"There's everything to talk about," Emmett argued.

"No, Emmett, there isn't,"

"There is Bella –" I stopped and looked up at Emmett. I squinted to protect my eyes from the rain.

"How can you even bring this up while Rosalie needs us? Please, just…drop the subject. Please," Emmett's face fell sad again as he nodded and continued to walk on. I sighed and followed behind him. I was angry for bringing up the situation that Rosalie was in. All it did was make Emmett sad all over again. Once we got inside the house, Emmett went straight into the living room to find Rose and hopefully save her from Sue's constant chatter. I was about to go up the stairs when Seth stopped me.

"Hey Bella?" I smiled at him.

"Hey Seth, what's up?" He shrugged as he stuffed his hands into his pocket.

"Nothing much…" We stood there in awkward silence for a bit.

"Was there anything you needed?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yeah, um, Charlie said to tell you that one of your friends called…Edwin or something like that and he also said to tell you that he went down to visit Billy Black and his son, Jacob Black." I nodded.

"Thanks Seth," Seth nodded and walked into the living room to sit next to the very unhappy looking Leah. I suppose that neither of them were very happy that their mother had moved on so fast. I sighed and walked up the stairs and into my room. I pulled out my mobile phone to see that I had five missed calls and three text messages.

To: Bella

From: Edward

Hey Bella

Hope you arrived safely, text me when you get there.

Edward

I smiled at that. Edward was always so caring and gentleman like. I looked at the next text

To: Bella

From: Alice

Bella!

Hope you drive was nice.

Let me know how Rosalie's doing and call frequently. I want updates!!

Ciao

Alice

Xx

I laughed at that. Alice was so happy, even in her text messages. I looked at the last one.

To: Bella

From: Edward

Bella

Call me as soon as you get in

Edward

I looked at the missed calls then; three from Edward and two from Alice. I frowned. Why would Edward be so worried about me? Wasn't that Alice's job? I decided to call Edward back first. He picked up after three rings.

"Bella?" I smiled slightly at the sound of his voice. I had missed it.

"Yes Edward, it's me," I replied.

"Oh good, I was getting worried," I laughed slightly.

"Worried about what?"

"You weren't answering your phone and then when I called your home phone, your dad said that you were out with Emmett," '

"How'd you get my home number?"

"Alice." Well…that explained a lot.

"Ah, well…that's Alice for you," Edward chuckled.

"That is Alice for you. How are you?"

"All right, I guess, you?"

"Pretty good, now that you called back. How was the drive?" Uhh…how to describe that in one word…hmmm…silent? Slow? Depressing?

"Long,"

"Really? Isn't it just a two to three hour drive from Seattle?" Edward asked.

"Yeah…but we didn't listen to music the entire way,"

"That's odd…I thought you three were big on music when driving," I laughed.

"Yeah, we usually are but this time we decided to just have some quiet while driving," I explained. I heard my door open and turned to see Rose entering the door. Her eyes were red and puffy. She saw me on my phone and looked at me apologetically. "Can you hold on a sec?" I asked Edward quickly.

"Sure," I removed the phone from my ear and held it to my chest.

"Everything all right?" I asked Rose softly. She shook her head and tears streamed down her cheeks. I quickly pulled the phone back up to my ear.

"Can I call you back?" I asked Edward quickly.

"Uhh…sure…" I could have sworn that I heard a bit of hurt in his voice.

"Thanks, call you back soon," I replied.

"All right, talk to you soon," I quickly hung up and rushed over to Rose, pulling her into a tight hug.

"What happened?" I asked her after a few minutes of letting her cry softly.

"I may never be able to have kids," she whimpered. I knew Rose had wanted a family badly and to have a kid of her own.

"Oh Rose," I whispered softly, holding her tighter. She cried a few more minutes before pulling away and wiping her eyes.

"Sorry," she whispered. I shook my head.

"Don't be sorry, Rose. I'm always here for you. I'll be at your side through this whole time, along with Emmett." I promised her. She smiled weakly at me. I took hold of her hand and held it tightly in mine. "Have you talked to Emmett about it?" She shook her head. "Maybe you should, I think Emmett's going to get upset that you keep on coming to me first," I smiled softly at her.

"But you're my sister," she argued.

"I know that, and Emmett knows that too. But Emmett does want you to come to him for some things before you come to me." I told her. She nodded. I smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Why don't you go clean up and then go talk to Emmett. We'll tell dad tomorrow, all right?" Rosalie smiled and nodded. She hugged me once more before exiting my room. I sighed and sat down on my bed. I covered my face with my hands. Telling dad was going to be a nightmare.

- - -

I hadn't called Edward back yet and I made sure that I would do that after Rosalie told dad that she had leukemia. I walked down that stairs after having a shower and getting dressed to find dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper and drinking a coffee. Rosalie and Emmett were nowhere in sight.

"Morning dad," I greeted him as I went to grab myself some coffee. Dad smiled at me.

"Morning Bells, how was your sleep?"

"Yeah, good." An awkward silence filled the room. "You gonna be home all day?" I asked him.

"Yeah, took the week off to be with my kids," dad smiled at me. I smiled back. It was nice to know that he was going to be around and not at the police station all day.

"Will Sue be here all the time?" I asked cautiously.

"No. Why? Do you not like her?" I shook my head quickly.

"No, it's not that dad. Don't worry. I just…want to spend time with you," dad smiled at me.

"What will we do today?" He asked as he continued to read the newspaper. I shrugged.

"There's not much to do in Forks, dad, and besides…it's pretty bad weather out there," I commented as I looked at the cloudy sky that was about to start pouring buckets of rain. I sighed. This had to be one of the reasons why I didn't like Forks very much; it rained nearly all the time and the sun barely showed through the clouds. Plus, Forks was way too green. Everything that should have been brown was green and for some odd reason, that annoyed me. "Plus, we don't need to do anything special…last time we saw you must have been around Christmas, when you came to visit us," I smiled at the memory. Charlie chuckled.

"I remember that," he murmured softly. Just then, Rosalie stumbled into the kitchen with Emmett following carefully behind her. He always watched her with wary eyes now. He was so worried about her. I was glad that Rosalie had Emmett to look after her, because I knew that I wouldn't be much help.

"What's for breakfast?" I heard Emmett ask. I smiled at him. I was glad he was acting mostly like himself, always hungry and needing to be fed. Mind you, he wasn't as childish as he used to be…but I guess he was bound to mature sooner or later. At least he still held onto a bit of his childishness for certain times, like when the family was together or our friends and there were no issues.

"How about I make everyone some pancakes or some eggs? It really depends on what dad's got in the fridge," I commented as I headed to the fridge.

"I'll have you know, Bella Swan, that I can look after myself and that I do have food in the fridge!" Dad commented with a laugh. I chuckled as I looked at the well-stocked fridge.

"I can tell,"

"Sue must have helped at least a little if she knew we were coming down…with Emmett too," I heard Rosalie point out. She sounded a bit nervous but happy at the same time. I knew she missed dad too, I was just hoping dad wouldn't catch onto her nervousness.

A/N: I hope you liked that chapter. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been in Malaysia for the past week and just got back on Monday and then started TAFE. Hadn't had time to really write.
