Chapter Twenty: Earth to Bella
BPOV
I stood outside the house and took a deep breath. "Mommy?" Emma said as I looked down at her.
"It's okay baby, we're home." I said with tears in my eyes as she reached up and wiped one way.
I smiled down at my daughter and kissed her forehead.
"Let's go baby," I took a deep breath and started walking towards the door.
Finding his house hadn't been hard. It was the same house we'd talked about moving into when Jackson was born and when I saw his car outside…I knew.
I knocked on the door and waited for someone to come. I could hear commotion inside and I figured that he didn't hear me. So I knocked again.
"Jeeze I'm coming for god sakes," I heard him say as the door opened.
He stared at me as I smiled up at him.
"Bella?"
"Hi Edward." I said as he continued to stare at me.
"What are you?"
I smiled up again and I adjusted Emma in my arms.
"This is Emma, your daughter." I said as he stared at me.
"My…daughter?"
"Emma," I said as I looked at my daughter, "Can you look up at your Daddy?" I asked as she nodded to me then looked up at Edward.
She opened her big green eyes and gave her father a big smile.
"Her eyes…"He said as I looked at him.
"She's yours Edward. She's completely yours." I said as he held his arms out.
I handed our daughter to him and he cradled her to him.
"Hi," He whispered as she smiled at him softly.
"Daddy?" She said as he smiled.
"Hi Emma." He said as I felt tears come to my eyes.
She looked over at me and stared at me.
"What's wrong baby?"
"Don't cry mommy." She said as she smiled at me.
"I'm not crying because I'm sad baby. I'm crying because I can't believe we're finally home."
Edward put Emma down and reached out to pull me into his arms.
"Bella," He said as he buried his face in my hair and I wrapped my arms around.
"Edward, I was so scared. I didn't think I was ever going to see you again."
He pulled back and crushed his lips against mine.
"Mommy?" I pulled away from Edward and looked down the hall. I stared into the eyes of my son…my son who I hadn't seen since his first birthday.
"Jackson?" I said as I pulled away from Edward and started walking towards him.
"Are you Mommy?" He asked as the tears poured from my eyes. I dropped to my knees in front of him and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm your Mommy Jackson." I whispered as he walked towards me and touched my face.
I smiled at him and stared at me. "I'm so sorry Jackson." I whispered as he slowly walked closer to me and wrapped his little arms around me.
I felt the tears start falling even harder as I stood up with my son in my arms.
"He never forgot you." I heard Edward say from behind me.
I turned around and saw that Emma was in his arms.
"He never did?"
"No…we all told him stories every night and showed him so many pictures. He never once forgot you." Edward said as I hugged my son even tighter.
"I can't believe it's been so long." I said as Edward stared at me.
"We need to call everyone." He said as I nodded.
"Can we put these two to bed first?" I asked as he nodded.
"Do you mind sharing a bed with your sister Jackson?" Edward asked as Jackson looked at Emma.
"I have a sister."
"Yeah son. She's been with your mom, but she's home now."
"Jackson?" I said as he looked at me.
"Your sister's name is Emma. And she already knows all about you. Do you think she could share your room tonight?" I asked as he looked at Emma then looked at me.
"Sure Mommy." He said as I smiled at him.
"That's my boy." I said as he kissed my cheek.
We walked upstairs and quickly tucked the kids in before going back downstairs.
The second we made it down Edward pulled me into his arms again.
We stood there holding each other as tears fell from both our eyes before Edward pulled back and cradled my face in his hands.
"I was so scared…I thought you were gone forever." He whispered as I nodded.
"I didn't think they'd let me go, but after Jacob disappeared…the stopped caring."
"They?"
"Quil and Embry." I whispered as he shook with anger.
"They took you."
"Jacob took me…they helped him keep me." I said as he closed his eyes.
"I shouldn't have left you outside with him."
"I didn't think he'd go that far Edward." I said as he shook his head.
"He wasn't right Bella. We couldn't predict what he was going to do, but I could stopped it if I had just stayed with you."
I reached up and put my hand against his cheek. "I love you Edward. I've missed you so damn much." I said as he leaned forward and crushed his lips against mine.
We threw ourselves into the kiss, showing each other just how much we loved each other still.
We pulled apart and he stared into my eyes. "How? How is Emma?"
"Let's go sit down okay?" I said as he nodded.
We walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch. I took his hands into mine and I smiled up at him.
"I was pregnant when he took me."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know." I said as he laughed.
"How'd you find out?"
"Jacob…Jacob raped me." I said as he stared at me.
"He what?"
"He raped me a month after he took me. It was…Edward I cried so hard."
Edward wrapped his arm around me as I looked down. "I didn't want to have the reactions that my body was having. It was like my body betrayed me and let him have what he wanted. He thought I was enjoying myself."
Edward growled beside me as I took another deep breath.
"After wards I started to just fell so sick and one day he threw a test at me. I was so scared because I thought…I thought I was pregnant with his child." I whispered as he looked down.
"But then they came."
"They? Quil and Embry?"
"They told me that Jacob was sterile. That Leah had tried to have a baby with him but they couldn't. That's when I knew."
"That it was mine?"
"I was 6 months pregnant…at least I thought it was 6 months. But then Claire…Quil's doctor girlfriend came and she told me I was actually 7 months along. I couldn't understand that until they said that Jacob couldn't have kids."
"What did Jacob do?"
"He took care of me. I guess he figured that he could raise the baby as our own. He just didn't count on her eyes." She said as she looked up at me.
"She has your eyes Edward…every time I looked into them…they gave me strength to get through it. That's why her name is Emma. The closest I could get to yours."
He drew me into his arms and I held him as he cried. Finally he pulled back and stared at me.
"I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"Jacob is dead."
"What?"
"They found him a year ago in the river. All his things were gone."
"Quil and Embry." I whispered as he looked at me.
"What?"
"They wouldn't tell me where Jacob went. But I knew they did something. There was a big fight one night about Emma…it was a year ago. They couldn't understand why he was keep us alive. Why he was keeping Emma alive."
"They wanted Jacob to kill you guys?"
"They wanted us gone. They knew they were in trouble. How could they not? They were accessories."
"Bella what happened?"
"They told me that he couldn't handle Emma anymore so he left. But I knew that wasn't true. He tolerated Emma enough that he wouldn't want any harm to come to her and he definitely wouldn't want harm to come to me. I knew something wasn't right."
"He was murdered."
"They did it." I said as he nodded.
"Edward I forgot my-" I looked up and saw Alice standing in the kitchen looking a little more round in the middle than I remember.
"Bella?" She said as I stood up and walked over to her.
"Alice," I said as she ran to me and pulled me into her arms.
I wrapped my arms around her and let the tears fall again.
"I missed you so much Bella. God let me look at you." She said as she pulled back and looked at me.
I laughed as she looked me over.
"You look like Bella." She said as I smiled at her.
"You look like Alice only with a little addition." I said as she touched her stomach and smiled.
"Number three actually." She said as I stared at her.
"You have two kids?" I turned around and looked at Edward who nodded.
"I have a daughter and son." She said as I stared at her.
"Alice," I pulled her into another hug and she started crying again.
"Jasper is going to be so excited." She said as I pulled away from her.
"Where is my brother?" I asked as she smiled.
"I'll call him. God Bella he's missed you probably more than I have."
"Is he alright?"
"We named our daughter Elizabeth…but we call her Izzy…like…Isabella."
"Alice," I said as I held her hand.
"Jasper wanted it that way and so did I." She said to me before she pulled away to call my brother.
"Two kids?" I said as Edward smiled at me.
"You have a secret of your own remember." He said as I smiled.
"I missed so much." I said as I looked at the pictures on the table.
"Bella…" Edward said as I looked up at him.
"Edward?" I said as he pulled me back into his arms.
"I love you so much Bella…I missed you so damn much." He said as I wrapped my arms around him again.
"I'll never leave you again. I swear." I said as he stared into my eyes and nodded.
"I don't think I could handle it again." He said before he leaned forward and kissed my lips lightly.
"Bella?" Alice said as I turned to her.
"Yeah sis?"
"Jasper is bringing Charlie and the kids. I called Carlisle and Esme too."
"Good, I want to see everyone." I said as she smiled.
"Good Bella, because we missed you." She said as I smiled at her.
"Bella," Jasper said as he ran into the house and straight into the living room.
I stood up and smiled at my big brother.
"Jasper," I said as he pulled me into his arms.
"God I missed you. Are you alright? are you hurt?" He asked as I laughed.
"I'm fine big brother. Really I'm great." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes as my father walked in the room.
"Bella?" He said as I smiled at him and Jasper let me go.
"Daddy," I said as he walked up to me and pulled me into his arms.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Dad. Really I'm completely fine." I said as he looked me over.
"What happened?"
"Jacob took me. I've been in an abandoned house outside of La Push. I didn't know it till last night." I said as he stared at me.
"Are Quil and Embry apart of this?"
I nodded. "I think they killed Jacob." I said as he nodded.
"I have to go make some calls." He pulled me into his arms again and I sighed.
"I love you Daddy." I said as he smiled at me.
"I'm so glad you're alright." He said before he walked away.
"Bella," Esme said as she walked over to me and pulled me into her arms.
"My other mom." I whispered as she held me.
"I was so scared for you. We missed you every day." She said as I smiled.
"I have someone that I need you guys to meet." I said as she looked at me.
"Okay sweetheart."
"I'll be right back." I said as Esme sat next to Edward and I went upstairs.
I walked into the kid's room and smiled when I saw Emma sleeping next to Jackson. I walked over to the kids and gently lifted Emma into my arms.
"Mommy?" She said as I started walking out the door.
"I want to show you off baby. You can sleep." I said as she yawned and curled up in my arms.
I walked down the stairs and heard Alice gasp when she saw me.
"Bella?"
"Come in the living room." I said as Jasper followed behind me carrying a young boy in his arms.
Once everyone was sitting down, including Charlie who had finished his calls I smiled at everyone. "I want you guys to meet Emma."
Emma opened her eyes and looked at everyone.
"She's Edward's. I was pregnant when Jacob took me." I said as Emma fell back asleep.
Esme stood up and walked over to us. "She's beautiful Bella." She said as I thanked her.
"She's every bit Edward. She already sings and dances. She knows everything about you guys. I wanted her to know her family. Even if she never got to meet them." I whispered as Esme put her hand on my shoulder.
"You're home now Bella. That's all that matters." She said as I smiled at her.
I looked around the room and I felt happy…for the first time in four years I felt like things were finally looking up.
