Chapter 10: Second Chances.

This should be interesting.

"Danielle!" She said again.

Danielle just shook her head. "I'm sorry, Gabi. Its time you faced this. Stop running away and just deal with it."

"Traitor." I heard Gabrielle mutter turning away from her sister. "Fine!" She said throwing her hands up in the air. "You win mom. Everything is all screwed up again!"

"You shouldn't talk to your mother that way." Edward said simply watching Gabrielle's every move.

Her gaze flickered from my face to Edwards and then back at mine, before finally setting on Edward.

"Hey, dad." She said sneering the word.

"Gabrielle!" I warned.

"Its fine Bella. Whatever she has to say to me I deserve it. You should know that, better then anybody." He said stopping me. I just shrugged.

"Say what you want." Edward said giving Gabrielle the floor.

"Gah! I hate this, what? Are you trying to be the concerned father now that we ran into you again? Going to be the father to that baby rather then us? Why the hell did you leave in the first place? We just didn't fit into your perfect plan? Just admit that you didn't want us!" She said, and I saw a lone tear fall down her face. She did nothing to try and hide it.

"That day was the biggest mistake of my life. I realized that the second I got on the plane." He said a gloomy expression forming on his face.

"Yeah, but you did nothing to solve it for months!" She said.

"I figured that it was too late. I made my bed, so I had to lay in it." He said watching the ground.

As much as I hated him for what happened, I couldn't help but feel my heart ache for him right now. He looked so vulnerable.

Gabi scoffed. "That's it! You figured it was too late! You could have tried harder, I'm sure eventually her resolve would have crumbled!" She said staring at me now.

"Got a point there." I mumbled to myself.

"Listen," Edward started "I love you, you are my daughters, whether you want it to be true or not. That day was the worst day of my life, and not because I figured out I was going to be a father, no, it was the worst day because I let something I loved very dearly go. No one will ever forgive me for it, and I know you two," he said nodding at Danielle too "Have a right to never forgive me again. But I'm asking for another chance."

I noticed Danielle had moved away from the door and Esme had walked through it.

"You got my mom, pregnant, again!" She all but screamed "and you want another chance?"

"What's going…," Jasper said walking through the door again. In fact behind him was everyone.

"What!" Emmett said way too loud. I flinched at the sound and stared at everyone.

Everyone's glances went from my stomach to my face, and then flashed to the other three people in the room.

"That's what you wouldn't tell me!" Rosalie said looking upset.

Esme and Carlisle stood there. Not doing anything, just watching. Alice was sending me an apologetic look. Emmett, well he looked on the verge of falling over from laughter. Rosalie looked extremely disappointed. Jasper, well he looked calm. Nick and Eric were standing there just like Carlisle and Esme watching everything unfold.

Eric was Searching Gabi's face, and looked extremely upset to find tear tracks.

"I think its time we go. Happy Birthday Brooke." I said moving from my place against the counter and moving towards the exit.

"Come on girls." I said trying to leave as fast as possible.

They followed, no one tried to stop us.

Once we were all in the car I pulled away from the place I had parked and exiting as fast as possible.

I tear fell from my eyes, as I remembered the faces back there. Shock, sadness. A baby was supposed to be something happy, but everyone was just upset, all over again.

"Mom, I-" Gabrielle started but I cut her off.

"Forget it Gabi."

She turned her head towards the window watching the scenery go bye.

How the hell was I supposed to face them after this? My daughter had a screaming match with her father who she has met once before. The all found out I was pregnant. Gosh Damn it.

GPOV.

I watched the trees fade and the houses appear, then the malls and shopping center appear. Usually watching everything made what was happening in my life easier. Right now, though, it was just making it harder. I turned to see another tear fall down my moms face. The guilt of what I had put her through overwhelmed me.

She was upset, crying, again, over me. It shouldn't be this way. Everything was all messed up. I should still be with Eric, but I pushed him away after the fight with mom.

I didn't want to be happy; I didn't want to have a pregnant mother. I didn't want Edward to come back. We were doing fine without him. Things were… normal. I longed for that feeling again. I wanted that: normalcy.

But no one cared what I had wanted. No one listened to me, unless I was screaming and fighting with them.

I pushed my friends away. Everyone knew not to mess with me now. I started failing, because I didn't care. If it got my point across I was willing to do anything. Except hurt my family, which I had been doing all along. Standing in that kitchen it all came crashing around me.

Finally getting to talk to Edward, and get him out of our lives. But when I realized I didn't want my mom to have to do everything herself again, I started to crumble. When Edward asked for another chance, I wanted to give him one. But then the thought of me and Danielle growing up hit me hard. He left. Nothing could change that, but maybe he should have a second chance.

Before I knew it we were at the apartment. I walked up slowly, even slower then mom, who was on crutches.

(Authors note. I have never actually had a broken leg or ankle, and I can't drive so I don't know if you can... but for the sake of this story let's just go with it. Sorry that thought just came to mind)

When we did reach the floor, I couldn't help but fell that guilt hit me again. New tears started falling as I thought of what my actions caused.

"Mom-" I started but just like in the car she cut me off.

"Gabrielle, its fine. You're not in trouble just go do whatever you want." She said moving towards her room.

"Mom!" I said trying to get her attention.

She stopped and turned around.

"I'm sorry." I stated.

She nodded. "I know."

"For everything. From the beginning, I just wanted everything to be normal again, but after that asthma attack everything changed. I didn't like it." I said tears forming in my eyes.

"I thought, that if I was a brat you would eventually see my point and we would move on. Without Edward." I looked up at her to see her staring intently at me. "But then you got pregnant, and back in the kitchen when Edward was talking it hit. I don't want my little brother or sister to grow up without a father like me and Danielle. I think, Edward should have a second chance." I concluded.

"Gabi, I am sorry. I'm sorry you felt that way and I knew nothing of it. And I think he deserves a second chance too." She said a smile on her face.

"I think so too." Danielle said from beside me.

I looped my arm through hers and nodded.

"I'm really sorry for how I acted." I said softly.

The next thing I knew I was being tackled by Danielle, and hugged by my mom.

"Good to have you back sweetie." Mom said pulling away. "I'm going to go call Alice, and see what damage we left behind us."

Danielle and I nodded together.

Who knew how this could end up…

Authors note. I know this is kind of short, but I just wrote it, and the whole point of the chapter was to get a feel of how Gabrielle was feeling, and for her to get over her problems and accept what has happened.

Please review. I got like 5 reveiws for the last chapter, and that made me sad… ):

Reveiws are like the perfect guy. (or girl…). Ummm… perfect. :)

Xx
Danielle.
