Chapter 25- Part 2: The will
Bella's POV~
Sun filtered through the curtains as I stirred awake. I could here Charlie moving around in the other room. Yawning I got up and looked around. I noticed a message on my phone and opened it.
Hey Bella!
We miss you like crazy! Good luck today! We are thinking of you!
Love the Cullen's (Rose is now officially a Cullen since she is my sister, A)
Xxxxx
I smiled and though of all the people that loved me. I wish they were here so I could give them a hug. I quickly jumped in the shower and washed my hair. I dried myself and changed into short and a t-shirt.
Charlie was waiting for me. We went and got breakfast at a cafe and then headed to where the will would be read. It was in Renee's lawyers office. I had met her once but only briefly.
He ushered us into the office and told us to take a seat. Already there wait was Phil. He gave me a hug and a kiss on the head and shook hands with Charlie.
He sat down and pulled the paper work towards him.
"Hello, I'm Jane and I am your mothers lawyer," Jane introduced herself to us, smiling. "I'm glad you got her safely and well."
"Thank you," Charlie said gruffly and I smile gently.
"Well, lets begin shall we," Jane said and we nodded. "OK. I am about to read to you the last will of Renee."
"I Renee Swan (can't think of her last name if it changed or not) give my last will and testimony. If you are reading this then you no I am gone. I want you to know that I will be forever in our hearts.
To my darling Bella. My sweet little girl. You are the best daughter a mother could ask for and I'm so proud of you. I want you to no that my death is not your fault if you are thinking of blaming your self. I want you to know that I am so proud of you and you were my life and joy. I want to leave you my possessions so that you can remember me and I can always be apart of you. I also want to leave you half the sum of my money, so that you can save away for collage and use it how you will. I love you forever my darling girl and will always watch over you."
I sniffed and tears rolled down my face. I sobbed and my dad pulled an arm around me.
"To Charlie, my first husband. I love you. Even though I left, I never stopped loving you and I'm sorry that I hurt you in the process. I leave you custody of Isabella Maria Swan and I know that you will take good care of her. You always have. I also leave you a quarter of the sum of money I have. Use this to help you with Bella and yourself. I love you."
Charlie sniffed and I looked to see a single tear running down his cheek. I hugged him and he squeezed me tighter.
"To Phil. I love you my darling. I'm going to miss you so much. I'm sorry and I don't want you to blame my death on yourself. What happens, happens. I love you with all my heart and I had such a fun and happy marriage with you. I leave you the rest of my money. I love you and I wish you well with your baseball career. I love you."
Phil sniffed and cried. I passed him a tissue and he gave me a watery smile.
"I will miss you all so much. Take good care of each other and especially my Bella. I love you all and I will forever be in your hearts."
I grabbed another tissue and dapped my eyes and blew my nose.
"I'll give you a minuet," Jane said and she left us alone. I went to Phil and gave him a hug. He sobbed and pulled me closer.
After an emotional hour, Jane came back in and we finished up. Afterwards Charlie offered to take Phil and I out to lunch and he accepted. We went to a small cafe that was close by and we had a nice meal. We were all feeling a bit better by the end of it and I was glad.
Phil and Charlie were talking about having a game of baseball.
"You should go. One of my friends is here. I'll catch up with him," I said. Charlie and Phil grinned. I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Jasper.
I didn't have to wait long before a got a reply.
Hey Bella,
Sure I can meet you know. You timing is perfect. How about we meet at Howitt Park?
Jasper.
Hey Jasper,
Sure, I'll be there in ten minuets.
Bella
It worked out perfectly as that is where Phil and Charlie were going to have a hit. After lunch we headed to the park and I saw a familiar blonde headed boy.
~Jasper's POV~
I headed to the park by myself. My dad had to work and had left me when Bella text. She did have good timing. I headed to the park and saw her coming. She grinned at me and broke away from Charlie and another man I didn't know.
"Hey, Bella," I said, giving her a hug.
"Hey, Jasper. How are you doing?" Bella asked as we headed towards a bench.
"I'm alright. How did the reading of the will go," I asked and we sat down. Bella sighed.
"It was so sad. I miss my mum so much," Bella whispered and I saw her begin to tear up. I pulled her into me and wrapped one arm around her.
"It'll be OK," I said to her.
"Thanks. I wish the others were here," Bella said, looking around the park.
"Me too," Jasper sighed. We looked around.
"What's going on with your dad?" Bella asked me and I sighed again.
"Dad's company is moving him out here and he agreed," I explained and I looked to the ground. "Dad wants me to move out here with him."
Bella gasped and clung to my arm.
"NO. You can't move. We'll be devastated, not to mention Alice. She'll be hysterical. I know we haven't known each other very long, Jasper, but your a brother to me now, just like Emmett. I couldn't stand to watch you move," Bella said sincerely and I was touched.
"And I think of you as a sister. Edward and Emmett have been my brothers for a long time and Alice. I love her so much and I haven't even told her. I don't want to move," I said, sighing and running a hand through my hair.
Bella grinned beside me."You should tell the next time you see her," Bella grinned. "Don't worry, we'll think of something."
I gave Bella a hug and she hugged me back. I was glad that Bella came into our lives. We stayed silent, watching everything around us.
"So this is where you lived." I stated gazing around. Bella chuckled.
"Yep, I actually lived about a ten minuet walk that way," Bella said, pointing behind us.
"Really? Can you show me?" I asked, excited that I would be able to see where Bella once lived.
"Well, Charlie and I have to go around tomorrow. You can come with us then if you like," Bella offered.
"I would like that," I said.
Phil, I found out from Bella, and Charlie finished hitting. Charlie suggested we go for some ice cream. The weather was so nice and different that I couldn't say no.
Bella and I walked along behind Phil and Charlie, laughing as Bella told me some stories of when she lived here with her mother.
"Renee and I came here once. To this ice cream shop. She had just finished and arts and crafts session and she swore she would never go back. I teased her and we ended up smearing ice cream over each other," Bella laughed. "It was so much fun."
Her whole face lit up as she remembered the story and I grinned. When I first met Bella she didn't smile much but now she was laughing and smiling. Her cut on her face had disappeared.
"I'm going to talk to Carlisle and see if I can get these stitches taken out," Bella said, when she bumped them.
"That's a good idea," I said. We got our ice cream and walked around, looking in the shops. Bella and Charlie led us to some for Renee's favourite shops. We could see how happy Bella was so we didn't stop her.
It was getting late and my dad would be back soon.
"I should be going," I said to Bella. She turned and faced me, her expression concerned.
"Are you going to be OK?" Bella asked me.
"I'll be fine," I assured her.
"Why don't we meet up tomorrow. I could swing by your place and we can go to where I used to live, like I promised," Bella said, smiling. I grinned.
"I would like that," I said.
My phone rang and I looked to caller ID. It was Alice's phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Jasper," Emmett, Rose's, Edwards and Alice's voices chorused. Alice was the loudest. I chuckled.
"Hey guys. I'm with Bella. Hold on and I'll put you on speaker," I said.
~Bella's POV~
Jasper put his phone on speaker.
"Hey," Bella," they all shouted at me and I laughed.
"Hey, Bella," Edward said in his velvety voice and I all but melted.
"Hey, Edward, Hey everybody," I said.
"How did it go, Bella?" Edward asked me.
"It went OK," I shrugged and Jasper gave her a sympathetic smile.
"How did you too bump into each other?" Emmett asked.
"Bella, text me and we met up," Jasper said.
"Guess what," Alice said excitedly. I could feel her excitement from here.
"What?" Jasper and I said in unison.
"We are coming to Phoenix!," Rose and Alice said together.
"Yeah baby," cried Emmett and I heard Edward chuckled.
"What?" Jasper and I cried, stunned.
"Yep, we talked to Jaspers and Bella's dad's and they said that it was OK that we came up and visited up. We are leaving now and should be there late tonight," Edward explained.
"That's awesome," I said, grinning happily.
"Wicked," Jasper said, grinning too.
"Yep, we will see you tomorrow. We are going to meet you at Howitt Park at lunch time tomorrow," Alice said, her voice getting higher with excitement. "I can't wait to see you. I miss you so much."
"We miss you too," Jasper said, smiling.
"We go to go. See you tomorrow," the said and they hung up.
"Come on, we'll take you home," Charlie said, smiling. We took Jasper back to his dad's.
"We'll pick you up tomorrow," I told jasper. He nodded and we headed off.
I went to bed that night, feeling better than I had this morning. I grinned into my pillow, knowing that I would see Edward soon.
