Chapter 21: Love

Nessie's POV

I blinked a couple of times as I felt myself coming back into awareness. I had the strangest sensation that I was moving.

I opened my eyes and right away realized that I was in a car. I looked to my right and saw Nelson fast asleep in a car seat.

Jacob was in the front passenger seat and Carlisle was driving.

"What happened?" I asked. I still felt somewhat out of it.

"Oh good Ness you're awake" Carlisle said. "You fainted again. I think it was all too much for you. That was a lot of information for you to take in at once and I am sorry for that. I should not have given you so much information at once"

"It's okay" I said. "Where are we?"

"We are on our way home. We are about an hour and a half away. Although with all of this traffic it might take even longer"

I somehow managed to look out the window and saw that most of the cars on the freeway were at a standstill.

I looked over at my son who was now awake and staring at me. He was even smiling at me. I felt the guilt crush me when I remembered what I did. I felt like a terrible person for hurting my own son.

Nelson started squirming and he held out his arms toward me. His little hands clenching into fists again and again.

"How is Nelson doing?" I asked Carlisle.

"He is doing just fine Nessie. He still has pain medicine in his system and it's helping him greatly"

Nelson started crying. I quickly got him and right away he relaxed. He was content just for me to hold him in my arms.

"He loves you Nessie. Do you realize that?" Jacob said .

"What?" I said in shock. He was only a baby. How can he love me? Especially after what I did?

"He loves you Nessie. His brain is much more advanced then that of a regular baby because he has vampire and wolf genes. He knows who you are. He knows that you have always taken care of him and that you love him. He loves you too" Jacob explained.

"After I broke his leg as a wolf he still loves me? And how do you know this?" I asked him.

"He still loves you though. Somehow he knew you hadn't figured out that he was the wolf and that's why you did what you did. As for how I know this? Wolf telepathy remember?"

"Oh right" I said. That was going to take some getting used to.

I just held my son for a really long time. I was happy. He was happy.

I started to think about all of the information that I had been given. I was half vampire. My family were all vampires. The guy I loved was a wolf. My son was also a wolf. It was a hell of a lot to take in.

About 45 minutes into the drive we stopped at a burger place because both Jacob and I were starving, and also because Nelson was in desperate need of a diaper change. I didn't like the looks people gave me when I was there. People silently judging me because I was a young mother. Society can be so cruel sometimes.

I ignored those people as best as I could.

"So Nessie are you feeling okay?" Carlisle asked me. He was the only one not eating.

"I'm doing fine. As well as can be expected for a girl who just found that she is a 12 year old half vampire that is surrounded by a bunch of other mythical creatures" I said just loud enough for him and Jacob to hear.

They laughed. Even Nelson giggled. Oh right, he probably has advances super hearing as well.

"I mean how are you feeling? You fainted twice today and I just want to make sure that you won't faint again"

"Well thanks grandpa. Wait, can I call you grandpa?" I asked him.

Carlisle looked very emotional now. Like he was about to cry.

"Nessie you haven't called me that at 12 years. I missed it so much. Nothing would make me happier. But only at home though. It sounds odd to the humans" he explained.

"Um guys, I think we should get back on the road again. It's getting late" Jacob said. He was right. The sky was starting to darken.

"Okay let's go" Carlisle said.

I got Nelson, refilled my soda, and followed them back to the car.

The rest of the drive home took another 45 minutes. I was surprised when I saw several more cars in the driveway.

"It's new vampires" Jacob said.

"What?" I said.

"I was not aware of this" Carlisle said.

Suddenly Edward, um dad I should say, appeared out of nowhere.

Dad. He was my dad. My real biological father.

"Nessie you know everything?" he said in shock. I forgot he could read minds.

"yes" I said.

"Oh Nessie" he said before hugging me to death. I hugged him back. He was my dad and he loved me. He really did. I could feel it.

"Edward what is going on here? Who is here?" Carlisle asked.

"It's Steve's family. It took me awhile but I was finally able to contact his parents and tell them where there son is"
