Chapter 26: Alec's second life

— Is that a yes!? — Edward asked, making her smile, still on her lips. He smiled as well and left one more kiss before he walked away from her. Bella couldn't wipe the smile off her face. She felt happy and Alec was smiling at her from the sky.

— Yes — she whispered, feeling her cheeks warm, and then she repeated it again. — Yes!

Edward smiled openly and walked over to her, lifting her into the air. Bella laughed happily, hugging Edward. Her heart was beating so fast and her face hurt from smiling so much. She did not know what she was doing and was afraid, afraid of losing her new family, because now she had a beautiful family.

— Now you are dating — said Anthony surprisingly, happy to see his mother hugging Edward.

Bella blushed and walked away from Edward, who cleared his throat nervously. Then, too, he lifted his son into the air, for he was happy and nothing, and no one was going to ruin him.

Eleonora closed the door, taking care that none of the three of them heard her. When she was out, the anger took hold of her. This couldn't be happening to her. Her plans could not be failing her so much. The rat was now more than just a hindrance in her way, it was a damn problem that she had to take care of now.

— Why can't I finish you off? — she grunted, throwing the papers from her desk onto the floor.

— What do you have that I don't have? — she said, nailing the letter opener to her desk several times.

I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you and have so much fun doing it!

Said breathlessly, then laughed out loud:

— It will be as easy to get rid of you, as easy as it was with the dead fly.

She got up from her desk and walked out of there smiling.

Bella walked around the mall trying to find the perfect gift for her little Mozart. An antique shop caught her eye. A lady, with white hair, smiled as she cleaned the counter. Bella walked into the tent and the woman looked up still smiling.

— Can I help you with something, dear?

Bella frowned. The lady's kind voice became known to her, but no matter how much she thought about it, she did not know who she was.

— I'm looking for a gift for a boy, I want something special.

The lady smiled at her again and Bella approached her asking:

— Excuse me, do I know you?

The lady came out from the counter and said:

— The world is like a handkerchief, Miss Swan — Bella stepped back without understanding yet and the old woman came forward. — I'm the one who sold the piano to your mother too many years ago. I'm Lena Ivanov.

Bella smiled a bit frightened and said:

— Well, you're a long way from London — Lena shrugged casually and said:

— I'm just visiting my son and grandchildren, they say it's good to change environments from time to time. We were talking about a special gift for a boy. Please follow me.

Bella followed Lena behind the counter. She opened a door and entered a room, where three children were playing happily with water guns.

— Oh! Don't throw water on me here, you young men, you'll get all wet! — shouted Lena, with her hands on her head.

— Nanny! —they shouted in unison. Lena smiled openly and waved to them. The kids understood and left, leaving Bella alone with the lady, who opened a suitcase and turned around smiling with a box in her hands.

— I have the perfect gift for your boy.

Bella made her way through the party guests. The mansion looked different, it looked more cheerful. There were beautifully decorated tables, a dance floor, and musicians playing happy Christmas tunes. In the distance, Anthony politely greeted the guests with his father Edward. A chill ran through her and on impulse she brought her hands to her lips smiling like a teenager.

Anthony looked up bored from everyone in that room telling him that he looked handsome in a tuxedo and that he was a very polite boy. He had always hated hypocritical people and there were many in that room.

— Bored? — said a sweet voice that made him really smile.

— A little — answered Anthony quickly, turning to hug his mother. Bella received it gladly and with a smile.

— It's very nice to see an adult hug a child like that — said Eleonora, with a cold smile on her face, in a mischievous way, and then continued. — Anthony, you look good.

Anthony nodded politely and responded:

— Thank you very much, Miss Dinkley.

— Oh, honey, call me Eleonora — said this one with feigned tranquility.

Anthony nodded and took Bella's hand, saying, to get away from the evil heron:

— Come, Bella, I think I saw daddy over here. Let's go — Bella nodded and smiled at Eleonora, waving politely.

— Miss Dinkley.

— Miss Swan — she replied in a whisper that frightened Bella. Eleonora smiled even more and continued. — It's always nice to see you again.

Bella smiled and Anthony pulled her hand away from the heron. When Bella looked up, she stood still looking straight ahead, her breathing became altered and she took several steps backwards.

— Bella? — she heard Anthony say, but Bella couldn't stop seeing the woman who was just a few steps away from her. The blonde turned her gaze for some reason and her eyes met Bella's.

- London | May 2004 -

The laughter grew louder as she walked down the aisle.

— I can't believe you're here — she heard her boyfriend's euphoric voice and her heart imagined the worst. Alec couldn't be cheating on her, she had to see it with her own eyes.

— Well, Daniel screamed his head off when I told him I was coming back from Ireland for a while, but he can't boss me around, and you know it — said a thin voice with a strange accent.

— God, I can't imagine Dad's face when he sees you — Alec replied. The girl laughed and imitated a man's voice.

— "What the hell is going on in that head of yours, Jane?"

— "Ireland is a chance of life greater than London" — they both said in unison. Bella walked up to where the voices were coming from and Alec had a tight grip on a blonde, short but beautiful girl.

— Bella! — exclaimed a surprised Alec, releasing the girl. Bella looked at him and the girl turned around with a big smile.

— So you are the world-famous Bella — said the girl, surprising her with a hug. — I'm Jane, this fool's cousin — she said, pointing to Alec and making Bella's heart beat happily again.

- Present day -

Bella saw Jane approach her and automatically her eyes filled with tears. Jane smiled with her crystalline eyes too and opened her arms.

— God, Bella — said Jane, holding her tightly with her body trembling with tears. Bella hugged her back and laughed, crying too.

— You look beautiful — that was all Bella could say at the time. Jane let go and said, looking at her simple black dress:

— Oh honey you look more than beautiful.

The two laughed openly and hugged each other again in excitement.

— Well, I don't think introductions will be necessary — said a man's foreign voice. Jane turned around smiling openly and said hanging from her shoulders:

— Honey, this is Isabella, my cousin Alec's fiancée.

The man opened his gray eyes with understanding and said:

— I'm very sorry for your loss, I'm Laurent O'Hanny — Bella smiled and nodded politely, accustomed to such words.

— Am I interrupting? — said Edward behind them, looking at them intently. Bella blushed when Edward put a hand on her waist and kissed her cheek saying — Hi, honey.

— Hi… — Bella whispered seeing him nervous.

— Laurent, I'm so glad you're here — Edward said politely. Laurent smiled and said:

— My wife has decided to stay for the party. I was just about to come and get you to say goodbye.

Edward smiled at Jane and said:

— Well, then I have to thank you, ma'am.

Jane smiled uncomfortably and Bella knew it because she knew her too well, but a little boy bumped into Bella and caught everyone's attention.

— Oh, I'm sorry — he said with a smile. Bella looked at him and then turned to Jane, who smiled and said without stopping to look at her son:

— I know.

Bella opened her eyes wide. The boy was just like Alec. He had his beautiful sky-colored eyes and his smile, his nose, his hair. It was Alec, he was her prince.

— Alec this is Isabella. Isabella, this is Alec, my son — said Jane smiling at her son and bowing to him. Alec, the beautiful little Alec, smiled at her and held out his hand with his rosy cheeks.

— I'm Alec Laurent O'Hanny. I'm glad to meet you.

Bella laughed unavoidably, for the child was too much like her late boyfriend, and with her voice broken by the involuntary tears that were stuck in her chest, she bent down at the child's height to caress his face.

— Hello, darling, has anyone ever told you how handsome you are? — she whispered to him without being able to stop seeing him. A tear slipped down her left eye and Bella quickly wiped it away, before getting up and hugging Jane again. The boy pulled up his father's pants and told him:

— Look, Daddy, I conquered a girl.

They all laughed at the same time and Bella looked at him with an adoration that made Anthony jealous and try to get away from there, but Bella looked at him and said:

— Anthony, why don't you play us something?

Anthony stopped and looked at Bella, who smiled openly at Jane.

— He's Mozart, my little Mozart.

Anthony blushed but smiled at the pride Bella showed in saying that and Edward said proudly and happily too:

— Yeah, Anthony, why don't you play us something, son?

Anthony walked to the piano and took off the lid, warmed up, drawing the attention of all the guests and began to play a Christmas tune that made them all laugh. Bella looked at little Alec and Anthony in an alternative way.

Looking closely at the little boy, she could see some small differences with her fiancé, but it was basically him.

Alec had returned to have the life that had been cut short. With a mother like Jane, she had no doubt that he would be a happy child, a child as happy as Alec used to be.

Bella felt euphoric because where there had been a loss before, where there had been an empty place, a small one identical to the previous one had been filled. She hoped that when he was older he would have the same fortitude and goodness that characterized Alec. There was no doubt in her mind.

Now, after feeling at peace, she turned her gaze to her little boy, who was playing with total concentration. She noticed that Anthony was casting little glances around, nervously, but he wouldn't stop playing.

And it was true, Anthony did nothing but cast glances at Bella and his father, who were together.

For a moment, he had been jealous of that little boy, but he quickly dismissed that feeling, as his mother looked at him as she always did, with much love. And now she was standing next to his father, watching him play. And besides, his father had asked him to play.

He couldn't be happier. This Christmas was going to be special, there was no doubt about it. He could finally have the family he always wanted and it all started there.

But not everything is happiness, the door opened and James Davis came in. When everyone turned around, Edward came to the door, furious to see that man there, but Rosalie got there first.

— Dad? — she said, making Edward stop and turn to look at her.
