Jail Talks

(Nessie's POV)

I sighed as I go to head out to the parking lot of the school I work at. I was hoping to go to lunch right now. Ever since I got pregnant the weird mood swings and cravings began. Fun. But back to lunch, right now I should be eating my turkey sandwich with the girls talking about whatever drama or nonsense is going on in our lives, but today I have bigger fish to fry. I rub my stomach as the Seattle cool breeze hit me. I pull my dark black jacket closer to my body as I try to spot my brother's shiny silver Volvo.

Today Edward and I would be meeting up with our birth father. Goody. I needed to do this though. I needed to face my fears and tell him off, or at least try to get him from calling me once a day. Once Edward found out about my dad calling me at least once a day he said we would be setting up a meeting with him at the jail to figure this whole thing out. I was a bit nervous, especially going to a jail when I'm pregnant with twins. When I told Jacob he freaked out a bit, but I told him I needed to do this. Anyway I would be safe. I have Edward there to protect me if anything happens and there were millions of cops and guards around the premise. Nothing bad was happening anytime soon...I hope.

The other girls were all meeting up during their lunch break to try and start calling all the Cynthia Brandon's in Seattle. Alice was determined to find this long lost sister of hers, and I don't blame her. I would want to know too, especially after thinking you were an only child for your whole entire life. It was almost like how I came into the Cullen family and met Edward again after five years. Siblings separated at young ages, reunited again after years. The only difference between Alice's situation and mine is I didn't have to wait all these years to find my brother, or even find out he exists. When I got put into foster care I knew that I had family somewhere in this world. The only problem was I was a small little four year old and I didn't know where they were.

I hear tires drive on the wet parking lot; breaking me out of my train of thought. I look up to see it's Edward's Volvo and I go to take a deep breath. Here goes nothing, I thought as my brother pulls up to me. I go to climb in the passenger's seat right away and close the door behind me so the rain can't come into his precious Volvo.

"Are you ready?" he asked me as he pulled onto the main road.

"Yeah," I mutter. "I just want this over with."

"Same," he agreed as we got closer to the Seattle Jail. It was a big white building you think you'd only see in movies. We entered the parking lot and soon we were entering the area were we would meet our dad. It was set up in a room filled with other visitors. I stayed close to my brother as I looked at all the criminals talk to their loved ones. I had my hand over my baby bump. That's when I spotted him. Old grayish-brown messy hair and dark brown eyes. I whimpered a bit, tugging my jacket over so he wouldn't see my bump, but I think I was only hoping he wouldn't see it. I'm pretty sure he did though.

I sit down next to my brother so we're facing our father.

"I'm surprised to see you two here," He muttered.

"We need to talk," Edward said. I nodded along with my brother.

"What? She's done yapping her mouth?" he asked looking at me. I frown.

"No, I just nodded," I growl, my hand still over my baby as if to protect my babies from their physco 'grandfather'.

"Fine..well what you do want to talk about?" He asked, leaning back in the chair in a bit of a casual way.

"Well one, stop calling Nessie. We are going to have it that you cannot contact us anymore. If you send one of more call to my sister or anyone else in our family I'll gladly make sure you never leave this jail again," Edward threatened.

"Fine. I'll stop calling," he agreed. I sighed mentally. At least that is over with.

"And we want to talk about us three," Edward said.

"Us three? Why not call us a family?" my father questioned, getting up from his leaning position so he was facing us. He had his hand together across the table while he looked at my brother and I.

"We're not a family," I said, with a bit of a growl on the end.

"How come? I'm your father and your my kids," he said. Edward and I both frown at him.

"You're not our father. Carlisle is. You abandoned Ness and I. You left us both fending for ourselves at very young ages. There are still things I can remember from this day from when I was little of you throwing bottles around like a drunk, or brining home women you called your 'friends'...And then the fire. Don't think I didn't forget about that, and I don't think I'll ever forgive you for it," Edward said to him sternly.

"And for putting me up for adoption," I add, "I spent years in foster care. I've seen things I will never ever forget even though you don't think I'd remember that stuff since I was only a four year old, but I remember. I have been hurt and abused in all ways possibly. I was never okay until the Cullen's found me after years of trying to search for me. They are good people and if you ever harass them I will gladly kick your ass," I say to my 'father'.

"Understandable," he grumbled. "I guess I shouldn't be one to judge. I'm not exactly parent of the year."

"You think," I snort at him, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I just want to be forgiven though," he said softly.

"I can't," I say. "I really don't know if I can. What didn't you get. My life was hell. That is something you, or even me, can't take back. Sure it's in the past and I can't do anything about it now, but it still affects me to this day."

"I don't want to either," Edward piped up. "You, specifically you, made my life hell as well. You damaged my early childhood before Esme and Carlisle found me burnt up in a hospital bed. You almost killed me in that fire and you abused me. As Nessie said, it's in the past, but I still have scars to remind me. I still have it in my memory of what you did. It's something that isn't easy for me to forget," he said.

"I know, and I am sorry for this all...Well maybe I wanted to go off on good terms with you kids...because I'm dying," he said. I frown and share a look with my brother.

"You're dying," I repeat slowly. My brother raises his eyebrow at our 'father'.

"What do you have?" Edward asked curiously, trying to crack our 'dad'. My brother is a doctor so my so called 'dad' won't be able to get away with that excuses.

"Well I have liver failure, and I've had HIV for awhile..." my 'dad' murmured, trailing off a bit.

"What? From the drugs and alcohol?" I asked. He nods.

"Yes. Why can't a man have some peace with his only children before he leaves this earth!?" he said to us. Edward and I are quiet for a moment as we look at our 'dad'.

"Well let's say we are on civil terms," Edward spoke up. "But that doesn't mean Ness or I forgive you. All that crap you pulled isn't something easily forgotten, remember that."

"I understand. If civil is all I'm going to get, I'll take it," he replied.

"Fine," Edward says. I nod in agreement with my brother. "Good enough for us."

We were about to leave the jail, when our 'father' stops us one more time.

"One more thing, congratulations you two," he murmured. I frown, raising my eyebrow at him before sharing a quick look with my brother.

"Huh?" I question.

"I know your pregnant Vanessa. I may be an asshole, but I'm not stupid," he said. I chuckle a bit as I place my hand on my bump.

"Thanks...It's twins," I reply to my father. He smiles slightly at me as he looks at the bump, realizing what moments he's about to miss the lives of his grandchildren.

"And Edward boy," our 'dad' said to him.

"Yeah?" my brother grumbled.

"Be a good dad. I know your girl's pregnant too. Don't be like me," he said. Edward nodded, a bit of a smile played on his face before he lead me out of the room. I took one last look at my 'dad' before heading to the parking lot with Edward.

"So he's dying," I mutter as I slump back in the seat of the Volvo. "So much drama going on, huh?" I mumble to my brother.

"Yeah." he sighs. I go to take my big brother's hand in mine and squeeze it.

"Whatever happens, I'm going to be in your corner," I told him softly. He chuckles as he goes to pull me into a hug.

"Same goes for you Ness. Now, come on. I just got a text from Bella, I think the others want to meet up with us now. Plus I'm curious about Alice's biological sister," he said. I chuckle as he begins to drive through the city of Seattle with the rain pouring down on us.

"Can you promise me that whatever happens, Alice, you, and me will always be siblings. No matter what bio sibling or crazy father comes our way?" I ask my brother. He nods.

"Of course Ness. We're always going to be Cullen's, and Esme and Carlisle will always be our parents. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever change that," He said.

"Good." I smile as I look out my window with my brother's classical music playing in the background. I saw a small light shine through the sky as we pulled up to our apartment complex, ready to walk over to the coffee shop together.

As I walked to the coffee shop with Edward, both of us trying to fit under one umbrella, I saw the little beacon of light sticking through the gray clouds once again. Somehow that little light shinning through all those dark clouds meant something. It meant there was hope and better times coming our way.
