Chapter 20: Settling In
Rosalie's POV
Tanya has already been in the house two minutes and she is already fawning over Edward.
"Tanya take a hike he is in love with Bella", I say
"What can she give him I can't?" Tanya asks
"A family", Mirabella says with the rest of the family behind her
"Well Edward will gain Eleazar, Carmen, Kate, Garrett and Irina", Tanya says
"No BLOOD family", Annabelle says
"That is impossible", Tanya says
"Look at me. I am Jalice I AM Isabella Whitlock and Edward Masen-Cullen's daughter", Jalice says, "I was born when my mother was human and father a vampire"
"Making her half/vampire, half/human. I am Jared, Jalice's mate", Jared says, "And I am a werewolf"
"You can always move in with us", Tanya say
"I have seen your kind. Change your ways before they land you in trouble or on the wrong end of one of our tempers", Jalice says
"Is that a threat?" Tanya asks
"Yes. Of course it is", Jalice says rolling her eyes
"Doesn't look like this one has much of a brain", Samuel says, "I am Samuel by the way"
"Eddie make them stop", Tanya whines
"That's it I am taking out the trash for the day. Alice care to help?" I ask
"My pleasure", Alice says
We both drag Tanya out and firmly shut the door.
"Let's give her something to do. Jalice", Matthew says
Jalice closes her eyes and Tanya disappears.
"Where did Tanya go?" Carmen asks
"She is in a clearing far from here. She will have to find her own way back", Jalice says
"Is it true your Bella and Edward's daughter?" Kate asks
"Yes I am", Jalice says
"I can't get a read on anyone of your powers. Nobody in the room. Is someone a shield?" Eleazar asks
"That would be spoiling the surprise", Michael says
"Everyone back to work. Except the Cullen's and Denali they need time to settle in for this drama", Charlotte says
"I FOUND IT", Peter calls running in the house with his manhood
"Uncle Peter. I DO NOT what to see that", Michael says leaving
"Baby maybe you should re-attach that in our bedroom", Charlotte says
"Hey Peter it is not very big", Jasper calls
"Can it Major. I am better in bed then you are", Peter yells
"Again we don't need to hear that!" Jalice says
"Get used to it. Char and I can beat you and Jared in bed too!" Peter yells
"Aunt Char can I remove a part of his body?" Jalice asks
"Go right ahead", Charlotte says with a smirk
"What is she doing?" I ask Charlotte
"She is mentally taking Peter's manhood out of his hand and I would say flinging it into the woods", Charlotte says
"HEY!" Peter yells from upstairs
"Told yeh", Charlotte says
"JALICE!" Peter yells coming back down the stairs, "Where is it?"
"I think you might find it in Montana. I did fling it far but it also could be in Oregon you know how my powers work", Jalice says with a smirk before leaving with Jared
"Maybe if you make NICE with your niece she will tell you where it is baby", Charlotte says trying to comfort him over the laughter
"Does this happen a lot?" I ask Angela
"Yeh. Jalice may through some person's stuff to another state but her power has limits. But she can always retrieve the object if she puts her mind to it", Angela replies
"She's done this before. Watch out for her temper", Eric says leaving the room
"She DOES have a bad temper at times I wonder where she gets that from?" Ben asks with a smile before leaving
"Hey Edward do you want to hear me play guitar? This song is meant for guitar", Jalice says coming back into the room
"I thought you didn't like me", Edward states
"Well if Mum is going to try. I might start somewhere. So listen to this. I am going to play piano" Jalice asks
"Listen this is about you and Mum. Mum composed this", Jalice says, "It is called At the Beginning"
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on….
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.
"When did Bella write that song?" Edward asks
"A week ago. I think it expresses enough of what you need to know. Maybe it will help you with Mum. I am only doing this because I want to see her happy", Jalice says
"Thank you", Edward says
"Can you play us something else?" I ask she was good at the piano like Edward
I see Edward nod in agreement to my thoughts.
"I can. I will play piano and Matthew you sing. This is from the Lion King called: 'They live in you'. It is about people we lost and how they are always with us", Jalice says and started to play as Matthew sings
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night, and the spirit of life calling,
Mamela and a voice of a child,
With the Fear of a child asking,
Mamela
Wait,
There's No Mountain too Great,
Hear these words and have faith,
Have faith,
They live in you,
They live in me,
They're watching over,
Everything we see,
In every creature,
In every star,
In your refection,
They live in you,
They live in you,
They live in me,
They're watching over,
Everything we see,
In every creature,
In every star,
In your refection,
They live in you,
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
We all clap.
"It was in the Lion King but it fits because we all have lost someone and they live on in us. Michael your turn to sing what song?" Jalice says
Michael sighs, "Fine. This is a song Mum wrote but got me singing it. It is called 'Not Giving Up", Michael says grabbing his guitar
This room barely alive
From all the ghosts we have
I witness in your eyes
We may have nothing left
What is the meaning of?
The lies we tell as truth
One thing I'm certain of
Is that I've little more to lose
Well faith means little if
We have no where to stand
This wound is deeper now
And I'm a broken woman
You held your words. A knife
The weapon armed again
But I'm not walking from
Our dream it grows as I begin
Giving up. Not giving up. Giving up
I used to feel us so on fire
And now I feel heat for the truth
With every flame of my desire
I'm not giving up on you
How love can teeter on
The edges of a blade
On either side it waits
The light and darkness play
I am not banking on
A simple twist of fate
I'm on a holy war
And how the battle ends today
"I have one more song to sing. It was written in a time I thought you were dead Edward. I needed to express my feelings. I was young but here it goes it is called 'On my Father's Wings'. At the time Mum wasn't really talking about you just saying that my father would want me to fight for what is what's right and courage", Jalice says and begins to play
If you were with me now,
I would find myself in you
If you were with me now,
your the only one who knew
all the things we've had to do.
I want to live my life,
the ways that I would
with courage as my light,
fighting for what's right
like you believed that i could
And I will fly on my father's wings to
places i have never been
there is so much I've never seen
and i can feel his heart beat still
and i will do great things
On my father's wings
This world I'll never see
my dreams that just won't be
this horse's stridge
with one days ride
will have covered more distance than me
And I will fly on my father's wings to
places i have never been
there is so much I've never seen
and i can feel his heart beat still
and i will do great things
On my father's wings
Someday, with his spirit to guide me
and his memory beside me
I will be freeeeeee
To fly on my father's wings
to places i have never been
and there is so much i've never seen
and i can feel his heart beat still
and i will do great things
On my father's wings
on my father's wings...
"You all sing brilliantly", Esme says
"Thank you", Michael says, "Do you get in now Edward?"
"I have always got it. Hearing her pain sends daggers into my heart", Edward says
"Maybe you will think. BEFORE you try and win her back. If that is what you truly want and if you are going to stay with her forever", Matthew says
"Now we have shown our talents and given advice. Now I think we should get down to work", Jalice says getting up from the piano
"Ladies gather round. These are the blueprints to the new rooms I am making. We are adding another wing to this mansion and Bella said you should all help. So come on", Charlotte says, "My office"
"Why is she adding more on?" Emmett asks
"Because there is a lot of family", Charlotte says leading the girls to her study, "You boys can either watch or go help the others"
"Can I ask you a question Charlotte?" Carlisle asks
"Of course", Charlotte says
"How are the beds as Bella put it 'unbreakable'?" Carlisle asks
"Easy the wood, steel has vampire venom in it. It makes it so it can't be broken. There is only one person who could break it. But I am not saying. That would ruin the surprise", Charlotte says with a smile
"Did you draw these?" Esme asks looking at the blueprints
"Yes I did. Do you want me to explain what we will be adding in the coming months?" Charlotte asks
"Sure", Alice says bouncing
"And while I do that you can tell me some of your guesses for the name contest Bella gave you", Charlotte says
"Sure", we all say
We sit done and Charlotte explains the new addition to the house and we tell her the names. She doesn't say a word but her lips twitch at Emmett's guesses.
"Dinner time!" Annie calls
"My we have been in here most of the day. Come on you all must be hungry now that Bella has used her power on you", Charlotte says
"Can you tell us more about Bella's power?" Eleazar asks
"Not for me to say", Charlotte says
"Where is Bella?" Edward asks as everyone was sitting at the table but Bella
Tanya had gotten back and was sulking.
"She is going to be gone for the next short period of time. She rang me", Mirabella says
"Is she alright?" I ask
"She is fine. Now tuck in. Before these pigs get to it", Mirabella says
"Hey everyone I found the good beer! Time to welcome the Cullen's and Denali's to the household" Peter says
Oh no this is only going to end in disaster…
