Edward's POV
After our early dinner I drove Tanya to the hospital where Bella was staying. I was doing this because I needed Tanya to understand that we may get married but I'll never love her like I love Bella.
What I'm doing isn't wrong. Many men do this. Jasper is doing this with Alice and Maria. So it wasn't wrong for me to do this with Bella and Tanya.
I knocked on Bella's door three times then opened it.
Senna and Bella were sitting on Bella's bed. Senna was trying to feed Bella with a spoon. Tears were streaming down her face as Senna shoved the spoon in her mouth. Bella squealed and spit it back out on Senna.
"Oh fine Bella I give up!" Senna said setting the bowl and handed Bella the bottle. Bella fell back against her pillow and started sucking on the bottle.
"Hey Senna what's going on?" I asked her, Senna never gets frustrated with Bella.
"Bella's being so difficult! She hasn't eaten anything all day, the only thing she will eat is her bottle. I've been trying to wean her from it but she fights me every time. I'm getting sick of it!" Senna stood up and wiped herself off. She shook herself out a little bit then recomposed herself.
"It's okay Senna, I have faith that Bella will get better." I said putting a hand on her shoulder. She sighed and shook herself out.
"Yes I know that. I'm just a little stressed is all. I'm worried about Bella, and then I haven't seen my kids in a while. I guess I'm just losing my mind." I nodded at her and patted her back.
"Well I came by to introduce Bella and Tanya to each other. Um just, could you give us a moment? Please Senna?" I asked her she sighed again and then left. Probably to go sneak in a little whisky before she came back.
I looked at Bella who set the bottle back down against the pillow. I smiled and walked over to her, then sat on the bed.
"Hi Bella. Do you want to meet someone?" I asked her then waved Tanya over with my hand. Slowly she walked over almost as if she didn't want to.
Bella and Tanya just stared at each other, not saying or doing anything.
I sighed then put my arm around Bella's tiny body and scooted both of us over. So Tanya could sit.
"Here sit Tanya. Bella is sweet, come get to know her." Tanya's smile was tight and seemingly forced.
"Um uh is she clean? Because I'm wearing a very expensive dress and I don't want to get it ruined."
"Yeah Bella is cleaned just come sit down Tanya." I said smiling, hoping that she would just get over herself and meet my mate. Tanya walked slowly to the other side of the bed and slowly sat down. She put her feet up and settled on the bed, as far away from Bella as possible. I sighed and then pushed Bella a little closer to her so she could at least understand why I wait for Bella.
Bella sank down into the pillows. As if the pillows could swallow her and she'd be invisible. I knew what she was trying to do though. She was trying to get away from Tanya.
Bella was never really comfortable around people she didn't know. And her and Tanya were so close in age, Tanya only being about four years older than her. Bella didn't like people who were young like her very much, I never knew or understood why she didn't like young people, only that if a young person was around she'd act very cold and distant.
From the way Bella and Tanya were leaning away from each other I had a feeling that they weren't going to get along at all. I wasn't going to blame it on just Bella or Tanya because I don't think they liked each other. I needed both of them to understand why they were both her and why that probably wouldn't change.
I sighed and sat up a little so I could face both of them. I needed to explain to exactly why Tanya is here.
"Alright Tanya I'm going to explain to you why Bella is so important to me and why you're here. If you cant accept it then I understand and please feel free to leave. If you do then that would be amazing and I hope that you and I could take care of Bella and take our relationship to the next level." I carefully watched Tanya's face to make sure she wouldn't become upset by this. She nodded at me with no emotion on her expression.
"Tanya, Bella is my mate. I love her very much but right now Bella is very young and she's also very sick. Not sick physically but mentally. She needs all the help she can get from everyone. She needs people to love and understand and be patient with her. Now I think with time you and Bella could become great friends and consider each other sisters. I care a lot about you Tanya and yes one could say I love you but I love Bella also if not more. I want to marry you I truly do but in the future when Bella gets better I will take her as my mate. I wont forget about you you'll still be my wife. You and Bella I guess would be like sister wives. (Please no one get offended because I was trying to make a point or example so Sorry if I did offend you!) I hope you understand." For a moment Tanya didn't say anything just kind of stared at me then at Bella. She then broke into a huge smile, jumped up and hugged me. I was shocked at the sudden outburst but smiled widely knowing that she understood.
"Oh Edward I don't care if Bella is your mate or not, I'm just so happy you want to marry me and that you love me. I love you to. Well with time I'm sure Bella and I would become great friends. And yes I will help take care of her. I'll come here everyday if you want me too. I'm sure this will all work out perfectly." She said I hugged her again because I was so happy then hugged Bella tightly. Bella relaxed against my chest and shoulders like she was snuggling with me. I pulled her into my lap. Then hugged both Tanya and Bella in my arms.
"I'm so glad you understand. You don't know how much this means to me, this makes me love you even more." I kissed her on the lips then kissed Bella's head. And for that moment holding both Tanya and Bella in my arms everything felt like it was all going to get better. I feeling I hadn't felt in a while.
Tanya's POV
Damn it! Screw my life and everyone in it! I didn't know was coming here to meet his retarded mate, I thought it was a family member or something! I'm screwed if this stupid little girl gets better. Edward says he wont forget me and he'll love me but I know how this little game works. Our relationship will be great and for a long time everything will seem like its perfect then bam! His actual mate gets better and suddenly its all about her and I'll be forgotten and unloved.
I need to come up with a plan, I want to be Edward's one and only love. Everything was good before I knew she existed. I needed to find a way to get rid of her without Edward know it.
As I looked at the small mentally challenged girl I thought to myself. 'I'm going to let this dirty little bitch get in my way?' hell no! I am Tanya Denali I come from one of the richest families in the world and my dream of marrying Edward with no complications is going to be ruined by this retard.
No I will not let it be ruined by her. I told Edward I would come here everyday if I have to. Maybe I come for a few weeks make everything seems good like were getting along and then maybe get rid of her. All I'd have to do was make the nurse leave and then my plan would work out perfectly. A medical problem, something could go terribly wrong Edward is sad for a while and I'm there to console him. We fall in love, get a huge house, get married and have kids, not having to worry about a stupid little girl. Our lives would be perfect! I had my plan…
Ok so here's the first chapter i've written! Hope you all like it!
