Last chapter
EPOV: "My decision is final. If anything happens, I'm sure we can get through it." He stood up. "Meeting adjourned. Thank you."
Human Carlisle's POV:
"So, how is Bella faring?"
I turned to my daughter. I chose my words carefully.
"It seems…" I started saying, "that almost everyone is starting to grow attached. Rosalie and Esme look to Bella as the child they could never have, and Alice and Emmett think of Bella as their little sister."
I had to admit; it was somehow weird talking that way—of our other part—with everyone looking at you.
But from what my other half has seen down in Forks, it seemed as if the child Bella was really making an impact on everyone. Especially Edward, even if he didn't show it.
"But what will happen to her, Carlisle? Will she get adopted? Or send to a foster home?" Rosalie pressed.
I shrugged. "I don't know. I'm no psychic."
Everyone's gaze went to Alice, who grimaced. Since we were all human, none of us—Alice, Jasper, Edward—could use our powers. Even if Alice had seen premonitions before she was a vampire, she couldn't now.
"However Carlisle," stated Jasper, "if Bella is sent to the foster home, wouldn't she be staying away from Edward and everyone else?"
"Who knows? Sometimes life can have an unexpected twist of fate. She might come back to them if she does get sent away; but for now, she's staying."
"They're planning on moving," Emmett pointed out.
"Ah, yes; they are. They've been in Forks too long. But they might stay another year or two."
"But what about the secret? Wouldn't an eight year-old—"
"Seven year-old," offered Alice with a smile.
"—Seven year-old girl find that scary? She could be scarred for life."
"That depends…" I stated.
Five pairs of eyes stared at me, waiting for me to continue.
"It depends how she finds out, and how it is explained to her. She might find out now, in two years, when she's seventeen, or never."
Everyone's expression was confused.
I sighed and started to explain.
"Yes, we gave Bella a second chance, and brought her into the Cullen's life, in hopes of bringing Edward back to us. But that doesn't mean that it will work out. It doesn't mean that those two will fall in love.
"Yes, she is the same Bella, but she doesn't remember any of it. Heck, she can live all her life without remembering. We can't control what Bella does and doesn't. For all we know, she could fall in love with someone else and leave the Cullens forever.
"If only Edward had any idea that his Bella is so close to him this moment," I sighed.
"Giving Bella a second chance," I continued, "was only an experiment. We don't know the outcome of this experiment. But we had to take the chance."
When I finished, everyone's expressions turned to shock.
"Then isn't there a way for Bella to remember everything?" Emmett nearly growled.
"Yes," I said after thinking. "There is a way for Bella to gain back her memories."
The room was quiet, everyone waiting on my answer.
"For Bella to regain her memories, something must trigger them. Something that reminds both Edward and Bella how much they truly love each other. Something that has to happen to show them that not even death can come in the way of their love."
Well, did you like it?
I'm so sorry that it's so short! But it's important...and it's still Carlisle's POV...well, HUMAN Carlisle.
Thanks so much for reading and please review!
