Part 5 - News and Reactions

After the bon-fire had taken place and they also went and saw Angela, Bella's only true and best friend in town, as the two wanted to tell her the news in person, so they did, with Angela's parents and little brothers there, but also the other friends of Angelas also there, for they were studying for the GED's tests in few weeks time.

Angela was exicted, and wouldn't tell the others of why she was like that, when they also could hear a car pull up the drive-way and down running the stairs was her little brothers who flung the front door open and all of them could hear them scream "Bella, Eddie You are here finally!" And then some deep chuckles mixed with a lighter tone of giggles, as the lighter toned giggles, then said

"Hey boys, it is good to see you two, how are you doing?" The two hugged the two newcomers (while the others were in shock of who was there to visit them. Angela had huge grin on her face.), as one of them said

"We are good and doing good so far." Bella smiled, as Eddie said

"I am proud of you two, well done so far." The boys just smiled, as Angela's father said

"My goodness, it is been too long, Bella dear." Bella just smiled and went up to him and gave him a tight hug of her own, as he could feel the reason why they were there, and he just smiled happily, as his wife and mother of Angela and the boys also hugged her, and felt the same thing as her husband had, and just grinned happily, then Bella turned to Angela, said

"Ange! Oh it has been too long since I saw you, and you look so differently good too." Angela blushed slightly as the two girls hugged, then they split, as Bella said to the others,

"Hi guys, its good to see you too." Mike, Ben, Lauren, Jessica and Tyler look at her with some shock, that she spoke to them too, as Mike couldn't help himself

"Hi Arizona, it is good to see you too, how are you locka, and who is this with you?" Bella just smiled, as she said

"I am doing good, and this is my husband, Eddie Spears. Ed, meet my former high-school friends and best friend of course, Mike, Jessica, Tyler, Lauren, Ben and Angela."

Eddie gave a polite smile and handwave to everyone, as Angela's mother said

"Well I am thrilled to see you both, since your wedding, Bella, and Eddie. How is things going for you two?" Bella and Eddie just smiled, as Eddie said

"Everything is going really well so far for us both right now, and we both know you two aswell the twins felt the reason why we are doing really well after all."

At that the others looked confused as one of the boys said to Bella

"Can we tell them, Bells?" At that, the two of them nodded their heads, as the one who asked with his twin, said

"Bella and Eddie are having a baby!" Making some gasps of shock, happiness and jealously/angered tones of few of them. Jessica and Lauren look jealous/anger, while Anger was on Mike and Tyler, but Angela was really happy, as she went forward and hugged them both really tight then her parents and brothers did so again too.

"What are you two having if you know of course?" At that Bella gave a look to Eddie, who was smiling big, and he said

"We are at 18 weeks along so yes, we know what we are having and that is a little boy, his name will be Patrick Charles Spears, after our fathers."

Many cheers broke out, while those who reacted with jealousy, anger, still stood there watching the others react like they did for the two, as Lauren after it calm down, said snarkly,

"Are you even married, Bella?" At that Bella gave the girl a glare, as she said

"Yes, Eddie and I have been married for almost 6 months now, as we got to know each other after meeting for first time years ago, at the time we both were at different stages of life, and I was too young at the time to even know what love is, what being in love is too, as Eddie is 5 years older than myself, so we took our time after I had grown up to get to know each other really well, and after Edward had left me, in the way he did a year ago, I got in contact with Eddie more and more for each day, and then about 9 months ago, we began dating both in person and online, as we knew each other for years, so we could trust each other alot more than most, as we more or less grew up with each other. He is my true love of my life, as I know I am in total in love with Eddie, like I know he is in me too."

Many of them looked proud of her speech, as Lauren, Mike and Jessica just huffed of it all, as Eddie kissed her softly on her forehead, and pulling her alot closer to himself, and she just smiled up at him, while standing in his arms. Mike said

"When did you two meet and where?" Eddie said

"We met when I was about turn 15, and Bella was already 10 at the time, but also due to how her mother was alike at the time and still was until her untimely death few months ago, she was the child and Bella was forced to grow up and be the adult for her mother couldnt and wouldnt be one. So Bella was more like a 13 or above that age when we first met, and became great friends at the get-go, even my own brothers and only sister agrees on that and loves Bella as an extra-sister to them, and my mother loves her, like my father did until his own death few years ago."

Bella just stroke his cheek, as he hated talking about his dad's death still to this day, as most were shocked of the history of how and when they met, but also about Renée was like even back then, as Angela's mother asked

"Bella, how long was your mother like that towards you and others of course?" At that Bella looked into her eyes, said

"For as long I can remember, Renée was always like that, never could stay still or at the place we were at for too long, as we stayed only about 2 years when I met Eddie and his family, before she again would pack everything up and take me with her dragging me to next place, where she eventually met Phil, my step-father, who stepped up and took over from me finally and I could be normal if I wanted to, but time had gone pass that stage for me, and I was just waiting to become 18 really and could move out and on with my life, and get back to Eddie and his family again too."

Angela's parents were in shock of her story of what Renée been like, like most of the others were too. Mike, Lauren and Jessica just shrugged it off, as Angela's father said

"If we had known, Bells, you would have been with us instead of your mother and father as both are at fault of how they treated you over the years, your father tried to do his best, but he didnt know how to deal with a teenage girl and her own grief of a heartbreak, I do, as I met alot of girls in my job as Minister of the Church I am part of, and I got to know alot how to deal with it, as my own daugther had to deal with some of her own, but me being who I am, helped her alot, right, Angela?" At that Angela nodded, smiling at her father, while Bella just smiled, and said

"I would've loved that help when Edward had left me, but I was a total bitch and very emotionless person, a Zombie, which Angela and her other friends got to see and gossip about me, when they thought I wasn't here or listening, but I did and most of the things were true, but most others things said was complete lies and made-up fuckery's, sorry Mr Weber for my swearing, I do not do it alot around people, mostly I tried to stay as pure-mouthed as possible."

He just chuckled, said

"Oh you are not to worry, I swear too, I am not that religiously clean priest of my own, as I dont hold back my swearing if neccessary, Bella. Besides that, I hate you suffered in silence, if your dad only had come to me, I would have helped out, as he was known member in my church and knew my expericance in it, but he never did, I dont know why either." Bella scoffed said

"He wanted me to move on with my life, as he told me to get over myself and get together with Jacob Black, his godson or someone else in this town, but I was not ready yet to even move forward, as the loss and pain of what Edward said to me when he broke up with me, was too painful and too much for my fragile mind as I had alot issues and insecurties within and with myself."

Making he shake his head at that, so did his wife, Angela's mother, as Angela said

"Wait he told you to move on with yourself and get together with Jacob Black, the biggest stalker of your life and someone you never even loved before or liked even as boyfriend material, was he insane to think he was best to go forward with after Edward being a bastard to you through your whole relationship?!"

Bella nodded, as her parents looked at her, wondering what she meant with it, but Bella said

"Edward was a controlling, abusive bastard to me, and he had also Alice, his own sister, to help out with his control and being abusive to me."
"What did he control you with, and how did he abuse you?" The others were shock to hear this, as they stayed quiet, as Eddie held her as he knew everything already, and she took that strength to tell them from his support and love for her, and said

"He would control what to eat, drink, wear and talk, and if I didnt do so, he would slap me or tell me off in very mean tone aswell trying to stand over me while screaming his head off in his abuse towards me. The last drop was when he broke up with me, he told me all what he thought was wrong with me and that his trying work, hadn't worked out and he wanted to break up with me and my heart with those cruel words and action of that evening, as I was found 6 hours later frozen and uncouniess by Sam Uley and his team, he took me back to the house and my dad at the time was just too worried to think on anything else, and took care of me as best he could."

They were in shock of her story, as Eddie held her tightly to himself, just supporting her in telling the story, as she was near tears now. Angela just gave her a hug as she seen the tears brimming in Bella's eyes, and Bella hugged her back.

"So he was verbal and psycial abusive to you, did it ever come to sexual abuse?" Bella shook her head, said

"No that was for he was such a virgin prude and believed that sex is to have after marriage, and only then, seems he still thinks so, as he hated that Eddie and I had sex before our marriage even began, but that is for we chose to have sex, as we knew at the time, that we were going to get married soon too, so we did it but we used protection each time. At least until 18 weeks ago, when we decided we wanted to have a child and started to try. We got it on first try of trying to get pregnant, we were lucky ones, as it sometimes can take time to get pregnant even."

At that Angelas mother nodded her head, and Angela's dad just smiled, and nodded as he too knew all about this before today so he wasnt too surprised of her so openly talking about sex and trying for pregnancy even. Beside he and Angela's wife had been lucky to have their 3 kids, and years between them too.

Jessica, Lauren just sneered of her tale, as Mike looked rather shocked and angered of her story too. Ben looked uncomfortable with her story for some reason, and Angela who knew it all was just shocked of the full details of her relationship with Edward Cullen really been like.

"Did your father know or suspect anything?" Bella just shook her head no, and turned slightly into Eddie's arms, who just held her in there for now.
