Song for the chapter: Blue Skies - Blue October

Chapter 24 – New Life

BPOV

Sara was acting just like I was as a newborn. We all thought it was because, like me, she knew what was going to happen. I was glad she wouldn't be deprived of months of her life, just to be able to adjust herself.

It had been two months since she was changed, and everything was going great. We didn't need to move away, just keep Sara inside the house for the whole time. She got bored, but understood the need.

We were fairly happy, planning the wedding along with Alice. Sara, thankfully, was way different than me, and had a say in everything. But that only helped Alice, she had always wanted to plan a wedding with the bride willingly participating on the preparations.

The wedding was set for December. They wanted it during the winter, saying it was a magical moment. Since no one but vampires would attend, it was all set. We could have the wedding on our backyard.

During the past two months, Sara's gift wavered a lot. She would mostly stay with red eyes, - which were slowly turning topaz – but sometimes they would turn hazel or green. She couldn't control it very well yet, but she had been practicing. When she was thirsty was when she couldn't control it at all. We usually fed once a week, so she could gain her strength.

We were discussing the wedding, like we usually did, when Alice froze. She was having a vision. It didn't last long, and when she came out of it, she let out a small yelp.

"What's wrong, Al? What did you see?" I asked her. Alice, Sara, Rose, Renesmee and I were the only ones home at the moment. The guys said they couldn't stand people talking about wedding arrangements anymore.

"It's… your parents, Sara." Alice said, in a whisper. "Your mom…" She began, but Sara interrupted.

"She is not my mom." She said with conviction.

"Okay, sorry. Karen is being discharged today, and both she and Malcolm want to come see you tomorrow." She told us.

"Why?" Sara asked.

"That I don't know, angel. I'm sorry, but there is nothing we can do. It can give you closure." Alice tried to calm her down.

"They're humans, Alice." Rose pointed out.

"Yes, I am aware of that. So we'll go hunting tonight, so she can try and control her eye color and bloodlust."

Alice and Rosalie agreed on taking Sara for a quick hunt, while Nessie and I cleaned everything up and called the guys.

I called Carlisle first, since he was still in the hospital.

"Hello?" He picked up on the first ring.

"Dad, it's Bella. We have a bit of a problem. Alice said Sara's parents want to visit her tomorrow. They'll probably talk to you today. Alice said there is no way out of it. They'll have to come here." I explained, fast enough so no one else would understand.

"Okay." He said uncertain. "We'll deal with it. How is Sara doing?" He asked.

"She freaked out a little. Al and Rose took her hunting, so she can try and control her eyes." I told him.

"Good. I'll take the day off tomorrow, and we'll see how it goes. Don't worry too much, Bella, it'll be alright."

"Yeah, I guess. Sorry about panicking, Carlisle." I said. He let out a chuckle.

"I'm more than used to it, Bella. See you later."

"Bye." I said, hanging up.

I called Edward next, and they said they would be home later in the night.

Renesmee had cleaned up the whole room, taking all evidence of wedding talks and all. No magazines, no fabrics, no nothing. We didn't know if Sara was going to tell her parents about the engagement.

It took the girls just about an hour to hunt, and the boys were back roughly an hour after them. We were all sat in the living room, minus Carlisle, discussing what we were going to do.

"Maybe we should just tell them she doesn't want to see them." Cole suggested.

"It won't work." Alice refuted.

"Disappearing in the middle of the night?" Emmett asked. We all had to laugh at that.

"Sorry, Em. We cannot leave town like that." Rose replied.

"Guys, let's just endure it. I'll try and talk to them, and see what they want. I promise to behave." Sara said. We all sighed, but nodded.

"We'll take our chances." Edward said at last.

Everyone retreated to their rooms after that. Cole and Arthur were staying the night in the house. I spent the whole night worrying about what would happen. Edward just put me on his lap, and held me, while I panicked. He was used to it by now, and knew how to calm me down.

"It'll be alright, Bella. Stop worrying so much."

"I'm sorry, Edward. It's just… they hurt her so much, and now they want to see her again? It's just wrong. They don't know what she has been through, they have no right." I vented.

"I agree, Bella. But she'll be fine. She is a strong young woman."

The rest of the night was spent like that. Edward eventually calmed me down enough to stop rambling about nonsense stuff, but I still did not think it right of them to come here.

Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do. They would be here in less than an hour. They had talked to Carlisle yesterday, and he agreed to escort them to our home at nine in the morning. It was 8:25 now.

Everyone was wandering around the living room, trying to act as human as we could. We gave Sara some tips on what to do, so she wouldn't look so different. Her eyes were their human hazel color, so she didn't look that much like us as one would think.

For sitting arrangements, we had decided that I would keep Sara on my lap, with Edward and Emmett on both our sides. Edward would be able to hear her mind if she couldn't handle the scent, and Emmett would help me restrain her. She was a newborn, she was stronger than us.

Cole and Nessie would have to sit on the farthest couch from us, just in case. Rose, Alice and Jasper would sit with them. Esme and Carlisle would occupy the loveseat, while Arthur sat on one of the chairs. Leaving the last couch for our guests.

I could hear the car approaching, and wrapped my arms securely around Sara. It would look like a normal gesture to them, but we all knew what it really meant.

"You'll have to try and not breathe." Edward told her. "Hold your breath as much as you can, okay? It's going to be hard, and you'll have to let us know if you can't handle it, got it?"

She nodded.

"Yes."

Two minutes later, we heard doors being closed, and people talking. Sara took one last deep breath and held it. She remembered to move her shoulders to look like she was breathing.

The front door was opened, and we heard gasps from both Mr. and Mrs. Jones. They probably didn't expect the whole family being there.

"Hello." Esme said, getting up to greet them. They nodded their heads, and replied with a quick 'hi'.

"Have a seat." Carlisle pointed to the empty couch. They both looked around before sitting down. I was only mildly paying attention to them.

"Sara, honey, how are you?" Mrs. Jones asked.

"Fine." She replied in a low voice. I held onto her.

"Listen, we won't stall. We want you back, Sara. Come back home to us, where you belong." Mr. Jones asked. I held my breath, because I knew what was to come.

"I belong here." She said, still lowly. "Where people care about me. Did you even call when I got hit by a car and almost died? Or cared, for that matter?" She asked. She buried her face on my shoulder and took in a deep breath. She wasn't handling their scents all that well.

"You're our daughter. You should be home with us. Your mom is better now, we miss you." Malcolm tried again. They should have known, as their parents, that she did not like guilt trips.

"She is not my mother." Sara said with venom in her voice. No pun intended. "She kicked me out." She accidentally took a deep breath, and Edward called my name in a quick and low voice. I held on to Sara with all my might, and whispered,

"We're taking you out of here." She nodded and looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Edward," I called in a normal tone, "Sara is not feeling well, can you help me carry her up?" I asked. It wouldn't be right for me to be able to carry her, even though she was a small girl.

"Yes, of course. Excuse us, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Sara has been feeling ill lately. Have a nice day." He explained.

"But…" Mrs. Jones started. Edward picked Sara up, and I went after them.

"If you knew your daughter as much as you claim you do, you would know she really hates people trying to guilt her out of something. She does not like being manipulated." I said, trying to sound normal.

"She had an almost death experience not two months ago. It took her a long time to recover, and she is still not strong enough. She only agreed to see you because she doesn't like hurting anyone. But she won't be going back to you. Ever." I finished, making my way up.

Edward had put Sara down on her bed. I made my way to them, and whispered,

"It's okay, Edward. I got this."

He nodded, and after kissing my forehead, made his way back downstairs. I could hear their conversation still, and they weren't happy. Carlisle was trying to convince them that Sara was indeed ill, and just now were they stopping to argue. I tuned them out and made my way to Sara.

"I hate them." She said, and started dry sobbing. I just held her while she let it go.

"And the burning, it was overwhelming. I wanted to attack them. I wanted to drink their blood, and I hate myself for it. I almost attacked them. Dad could hear in my mind, all the different ways I was thinking about killing them. I didn't care about anything else." She kept on crying.

"But you didn't. We were there to make sure it didn't happen, and it didn't. You did great. Most vampires can't handle even being in the same room as humans, let alone talk to them, like you did. I am proud of you, sweetie. You handled it like no one else." I said, calming her down.

"But I wanted to kill them." She argued.

"I know, and I've been there as well. Sara, not two months ago, I almost did kill you. And yet, you forgave me." I retorted.

"Yes, because you didn't do anything wrong, it was instinct." She told me.

"Exactly. And what do you think happened downstairs? It is the same thing. Do not blame yourself for following your instincts. You are a newborn, you know how they are. You're in control, and what happened was not your fault. Got it?" She stood still. I gently pulled her face to me and looked into her eyes. "Got it?" She let out a sigh and nodded.

"Good." I said, kissing her forehead. "I don't think they will return, Sar. I sort of told them off."

"Yeah, I heard." She chuckled.

"They're gone already, Carlisle is taking them back to their place. You won't have to worry about them anymore. I won't let them near you again." I said with conviction.

She smiled brightly at me. "Thank you, Mom."

"I love you." I whispered. "Forever."

"I love you, too." She replied.

We stayed there for a few more minutes, just basking in the silence.

"Are you ready to go back downstairs?" I asked. She nodded.

I got up and took her hand in mine. We made our way down rapidly, and saw everyone waiting for us. Carlisle had already arrived home again.

"I'm sorry." She said as soon as we got into the living room.

"It's okay, babe. I was ready to go beat some sense into them when you left." Cole told her, making her laugh. He took her in his arms, and sat down, cuddling her close.

"I was ready to attack them. If Edward hadn't been so fast." She continued.

"It was not your fault. We should have considered your young age and all. We got used to you being controlled around us, we forgot that human scent is a different thing. You are not Bella." Carlisle said.

"Yeah, Bella's the only freak that dated a vampire while still human and passed out at the sight of blood." Emmett had to put his two cents.

Everyone got a laugh at my expense, again.

"Whatever." I scowled.

The rest of the evening was spent like that, reminiscing and laughing at old memories.

For now, our lives was more than perfect.

I have to say this story only has a few more chapters left =( I do not want to drag it on too much, and turn it into a boring thing.

Buuut, it's still here, so review!!!! ;) Love y'all =D
