Thank you so much for supporting me. Thank You.
I have a new chapter for you.
Here we go…
Bella
"Bella" without missing a bit Alice pulled me for a bone-crashing hug.
"Can't breathe!"
"Oh, sorry!" Finally she let me breath. "Oh Bella, I missed you!"
"I missed you too Alice." I told her in a stiffen voice. Yes, I missed her but that not mean they could just come back in our life like nothing had happened. I won't allow it.
Alice's eyes immediately got total sad. It took everything in me to not hug her for comfort. "You are mad at me." Get a grip Bella. It was she who left without even saying a Good Bye.
"Should not I?" if she was here. That means they all know about Lily. Did they want to come back, at least for Lily's sake? My jaw clinched in determination. That's not going to happen so easily.
"Bella, please forgive us. Edward did not give us a choice." That's it!
"Edward did not give you a choice?! What you are Alice? A baby? Forget about Edward. You were my best friend Alice. I expected you to stay with me, supported me. At least you could say your good bye, Alice. Or gave me a chance to say mine? You all just vanished. And never, not for a one time looked back at me. You did not even leave a contact. What if Victoria or James would have come back for me? I had nothing to contract you if I had needed you. And I needed you" I pointed at my baby girl though I did not bother to mention I had other protectors. Alice flinched at my words.
"Bella…."
"What are you doing here now? And what the fucking hell you are expecting from me? I am not going to forgive, Alice. You know what I could forgive you for what you did to me but I would never forgive you for what you did to my baby girl. She deserves her family and you take it from her without giving her a chance."
"I am sorry Bella. Trust me…."
"No. I am sorry. I don't think I could ever trust you again."
"Please let me finish! Bella, Edward forced us to leave. He convinced us it was best for you. He lied, Bella. He told it was what you wanted. I never wanted to leave! You are my best friend. I would never want to lose you. He forced me." Alice voice was dangerously near to break down. I shot a quick glance to Lily. I did not want my baby girl to watch us fight. Alice understood.
"Stop it Alice. And it was hardly an excuse. You are a psychic. And I don't believe Edward could just force you to leave me. Or maybe I was never that important to you?" With that I moved away from her, collecting my stuff, effectively finished that conversation. And I wished it was the conclusion too.
I never thought they would ever come back in our life; I would have to face them again. So I never thought how I would confront them. Hell, I have no idea what I want. All I know that I don't want to forgive them so easily. My daughter's life could have been so much better if they had not abandoned me.
And what if they came back only to leave again? I could not face it. I could not go through that once again. And I would never let anyone hurt my baby girl like that. No I could let them come back in our life. I won't let them.
I looked back at Alice. She was looking at Lily with so much longing in her eyes. It was a little weird for her. Usually, Alice looked in her visions to find the best way to get what she wanted. There was something wrong.
Someone knocked the door.
Who the hell was that? I don't want to face another Cullen. It's too much for me. I looked at Alice and she was…irritated?
I opened the door and my mood immediately got a little better. I felt a little safe. Though Kayla was a normal human who knew nothing about vampires but I know she would have my back.
"Kayla." I acknowledged her. A worm smile spread across her face but she did not bother to acknowledge me back, instead she entered in the room. It was how we were. She spotted Alice.
"Kayla, this is Alice, my…friend? Alice this is Kayla, my best friend." The jealousy was obvious in Alice's face. But right now, I could do nothing about it.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Kayla was a little uncomfortable and if I was being honest, then she should be. Alice was really looking intimidating. I hope she would not really try to scare her. No, she would not do anything like that with having Lily here. Would he?
"You are not going to kill her. Are you?" I asked under my breath. Alice shook her head once but did not break her gaze.
"What are you doing here? I thought you should be at the shop." I just wanted to break their gaze. If it was Alice's reaction to meet Kayla, then what would they do when they will learn about the wolfs? I shudder at the thought.
Thankfully Alice let Kayla from her deathly glare. "Umm. I thought it was your first day so maybe you would appreciate some help. So I took a half day."
"Thank you Kayla. I really appreciate that. But I am done today. Would you take care of Lily while I pack my stuff?" I pointed toward my baby girl who was looking between Alice and Kayla. Shit. She noticed.
"Hi Sunshine."
"Hello Auntie." Without wasting any time Lily threw herself in Kayla's waiting arms.
"How was your day?" Kayla cooed Lily. I let them have their time and looked back to Alice.
Okay. I had to admit, she was really looking like a real vampire and I don't want to lose my best friend. She was human and helpless against her.
I hurried. "Let's go girls."
"Wait. Won't you introduce me to baby Lily?" Alice pouted.
She pouted?!
Before I could decide what to do, it caught my baby girl's attention.
"Who is she Auntie?"
Kayla looked a little uncomfortable but she can't deny Lily anything. No one can.
"She is your Momma's friend. Miss Alice?" Her answer sounded more like question.
"NO." And Alice busted, really busted. The one thing that kept her grounded was Lily's presence. By the way, why did she bust? Alice gave my answer anyway.
"I am your Momma's best friend. Your Aunt Alice."
Wow.
"But Aunt Kayla and Uncle Jake are Momma's best friends. And I don't know you. Hmm. You need my approval if you wanted to be my Momma's new best friend." Lily told in a serious tone. Did I tell you yet, my baby is overpossessive over her Momma?
Alice's jaw hung open. "I – I…." Though I was still mad at her but I think I should help her. My daughter got some of her grandpa's habit; she did not trust anyone easily when it's come on me.
"Baby girl she was my friend while she lived in Forks and then, we were best friends." She frowned, not satisfied. "After they left I did not hear from them until now." I didn't want to lie to my daughter so I gave her an easy version.
"But Momma, friends always call you. Aunt Kayla and Uncle Jake always do." She was confused.
"I don't know, baby." I don't know how to answer. "Let's go home. So we can have a lot of fun." I tried to distract her but she and Kayla share a look and they both giggled. They only do that when they were up to something I would not like.
"What was going on? I swear you both will be in trouble if you two did something like last time."
Last time those Diva hide all of my cloths except those baby pink ones, that I was forced to buy but never agreed to wear, so they decide it's time to force me to wear those terrible things. And they did not give me back my clothes for the whole day.
They both remembered it and they cracked up laughing so hard that they were almost crying.
"Come on Bells, you know you were looking cute in baby pink, really. You should wear those more often." I just huffed.
"No Momma, nothing like that. We are just going shopping." Unlike me, my daughter had no problem with clothes.
I looked back at Alice. She looked like she was having an internal debate between crying in sadness and clapping in happiness. "Alice, we have to go." I was ready for some normality.
"See you soon Bella. I love you." Alice hugged me and then surprising me, she also gave Lily a hug. "Love you honey." And then she left.
"Momma, what's wrong with her?"
It was confusing for her. But I had no idea what to tell her. What should I say? Baby she was your aunt Alice, your daddy's sister. They left me before you were born because they were outstanding vampire and I was nothing but a normal boring human. You saw your daddy too, he was in my last class. You remember, the guy with the same hair color of yours, sitting in the right corner? Yes now out of nowhere they came back and they probably wants to meet you. Not tempting.
Thankfully, Kayla understood my hesitation. "Come on Sunshine, we are going to be late." My baby girl was intelligent but she was still a baby. It was easy to distract her.
"Let's go Momma. Let's go." Now she was bouncing.
I looked at my daughter who was full of life and knew nothing about this cruel world. And I have no desire to let her learn anytime soon. "Let's go." I answered with a small smile.
"Come on Bells. I know there was something wrong. I never saw you that sad. And who was that creepy girl?" Kayla asked me after we tucked Lily in her Princess's bed. She was staying with me today. Actually she stayed with me in a regular basis. I owe her huge. She became my helping hand without expecting something in return.
"Kayla, I saw him today." I sighed.
Her breath hinged. She understood, though she knew almost nothing about my past and she never asked. This was a part of her I loved. But today I am going to tell her all of it. I mean a human edition of course.
"Where?" she asked quietly.
"In my class. He came for masters."
"Masters?"
Human edition.
"They have all the money in the world. I don't know if he worked or not but the last time I checked, they loved to learn and their parents were supportive."
"Oh. How he react? WAIT. He knew about Lily. Had he always known?"
"Yes. He knew. If you saw the two of them, you will understand. She is a carbon copy of her father." I took deep breath. "But I have no idea if he knew about her before or not. He left me two days after my 18th birthday. And I conceived in my birthday. After a month, when I found out, I have no way to contract him. He left none. They just vanished. Like they had never existed, except the mess they created in my life and Lily. They did not even give me a chance to say my 'Good Bye'. They left me broken Kayla. They were the family I always craved but never had. They promised me to give it and then they broke their promise. He promised to protect me but hurt me beyond repair. He promised to love me forever but left me in the woods, alone." I could not hold back any longer. I broke down.
Kayla wrapped her arms around me tightly, holding me and let me ruin her shirt.
"I loved all of them Kayla. Not only him but all of them. Alice was my sister, Emmet, my big brother. Carlisle and Esme were like my parents. I just did not lose my sole-mate that day but I lost a whole family. A whole family.
You know Kayla I didn't remember what I did after he left me. Until I found out I was pregnant. That he left a part of him with me. I was that broken. I became like a zombie.
But we had needed him. I, Lily, we both had needed him. I was so helpless that I have no idea what I would have done if my dad had not supported me." And I was pregnant with a half-vampire child. "He never let me broke down. He supported me in every corner, every time. It should have been him but he was not there.
And now, after six years, when I managed it all on my own, they came back. I had no idea what they want and honestly I don't want to know. I just don't want to face them. He broke my heart once, its okay, I managed to survive it. But now, if he broke my daughter's hart too, I could not survive it. I just can't."
"What he told you in the woods Bells."
"He told me that I was not good for him. He didn't want me. He didn't love me." It hurt so much to remember those words. I wanted to forget them but it was like they have burned in my memory. I broke down once again.
"Forget him." Kayla spoke suddenly.
"What?"
"Let's just forget him Bells. He is not the last man in the world." She snorted.
I laughed humorlessly. "That's the problem. He maybe not the last man in the world but he is the last man for me. Though he hurt me so bad but I could not just get over of him." She opened her mouth to spoke something but I stopped her.
"Trust me, I tried. I tried many times. But no one ever catch my eyes. It just felt…wrong. I could not, no matter how hard I tried. It was like…like I was going against nature.
Kayla, for the last six years, I always feel like some part of me was missing. Like I had a hole in my heart. But the moment he entered the class I was whole. What could I do Kayla when my own body and heart was betraying me? My mind knows I should not forgive him but my heart was yelling for him and my body was accompanying her." I hoped I did not give too much. The last thing I wanted was to watch my friend running away from me.
"Okay. So maybe I should be surprised by your confession but honestly I am not. I always knew there was something magical about you and Lily." I could not help but laugh at her choice of word.
Hmm. Magical? Indeed.
"I mean I was not sure if every normal human have soul-mates. That's why there was a term like divorce. But your mind is stronger than your heart, right?"
"Yes, it is. I had made it stronger in last six years. And I believe I did a good job with it."
"Forget it. What are we going to do now? Don't you DARE tell me you are just going to take him back without any consequence! I swear Isabella Marie Swan I will kill you if you do not give him a hard time. No not only him but all of them. If he wants you back then he has to prove himself. And I am going to be the judge. He can't have my girls unless he proves his worthiness." She announced in a serious tone.
This time I really laughed. But I knew her and knew she was really serious. I felt loved. "Don't worry sis. I have no plane to go easy. And I think my dad and Jake would want to join you in jury board."
"Maybe Lily, too." She giggled. "It's okay. I could appreciate some help. But when are you going to tell them. You know we have some discussion to do."
I don't know. I won't have any problem to tell dad but Jake – I am not sure. Jake didn't like Cullens, partially because they were natural enemies and partially because he left me and his niece and his niece was one of the most important people in his world, more important than me. Though I was not sure how much he would love if he had never left.
The point was clear, though I didn't like him but I didn't want him to get killed. Or vise-versa.
"Maybe in morning?" My answer sounded more like question. It caught her attention.
"What's wrong Bells?"
"Nothing."
"You don't want to tell your dad?"
"No. it's not about dad but I was not sure about Jake. One step at a time. I will think about it tomorrow. Now I am tired."
"Yes it was something to worry about." She told thoughtfully. She doesn't know the mythical pat but she heard about Jake. "You are going to tell me more about that idiot boy tomorrow?" it sounded more like question and I knew she would not force me.
"Sure." I could tell her everything except the mythical part. I mean human edition.
"Okay. Good night. Sweet dreams. And don't you dare dream about that asshole."
I rolled my eyes. Like I could control my dreams. "Good night Kayla."
Kayla left for the guest room which was unofficially her bedroom, leaving me alone in my room.
I could always ask her to come back, right? NO. Never. I was doing this alone for last six years. And I could do it now. Come on Bella. You are strong and you can do anything. Just don't give up.
Don't give up.
I am not going forget everything so easily.
And definitely not going to forgive them either.
They have a long way to go if they want us back. Of course, if they want. And if not then I had no problem with it either. I was not sure which way I would like more but definitely not have a problem with the second option.
Rosalie
Come home. Emergency – Alice
I was just leaving my last class when my phone buzzed.
Emergency? I had no idea what's going on. But I started to run for our new house anyway.
My whole family had gone pretty much unresponsive after that idiot's little stunt. That selfish asshole left his mate behind and never for once he thought how this was affecting our full family. I like her or not, Bella was a part of that family. Emmet was no more that goofy boy. He was missing her too much, his favorite little sister.
Okay.
If I was being honest with myself than I miss her too. I don't know when she became an important part of my world but I – I love her. She was like the key of happiness for our family. You accept her unconditionally and it's her responsibility to bring you happiness. Though I have a doubt that she knew about her ability. But I saw it, when she was with us, Emmet, Alice, Carlisle, Esme accepted her unconditionally and in exchange they got whatever they were missing, I never saw them that happy.
But I was being stubborn. I should have tried it too.
Wait. It was not my fault. I would eventually accept the fact but Edward did not give me a chance. It was completely his fault that we all were unhappy for last six years. How could he do it?!
I don't know what exactly he told Bella before leave. But he better give her, her choice because he did not give us, ours. Or he had no idea how much in danger he is in.
That's it. I can't take it anymore.
I am going to find Bella. I will leave tomorrow. I know Jasper was planning the same for last few months. It was Alice's lack of response what was holding him back. Alice was an idiot. She was still holding on Edward to go back to Bella. But I could not hold back any longer. I need my family's happiness back. I and Jasper should be enough for this task. Jasper is already a good tracker; it would not take long for track her.
I was just a three minutes away from our new house.
I controlled my thoughts. I would ask Jasper later. I had no idea where Edward was. But I had no wish to take risk either. Better safe than sorry. Though he could not stop me even he wanted. I was not going to have that.
I was taken aback when I entered the house.
Everyone was gathered in the dining table. But it was Edward and Alice's reaction that shocked me. Alice was crying in Jasper's arms and Jasper was trying to sooth her. And Edward – well he was looking like he was having an internal debate between smiling and crying. I think the happy part won the battle because he settled in smiling like a stupid. And I was not the only one who almost had a heart attack seeing his smile.
This has to Bella. The only way my brother could smile like this was Bella.
Oh.
Is she coming back?
No. if Bella was coming back them why Alice was crying. It did not look like happy tears.
What the hell was going on?
When I thought I was going to lose mind, Alice spoke. And of course, it also had to be a shock.
"She hate me." Alice continued to sobbing.
"No Alice, she is just mad at us. She does not hate you. You know her, she would never."
"But she should be mad at you, not us. It was completely your fault! I would never forgive you for that Edward Antony Mason Cullen!"
What the fuck!
"Are you two planning to drive us crazy?! STOP IT!" Emmet yelled.
Edward went back to his stupid smile. Alice glared him. If look could kill. Finally Edward stood up.
"First of all I want to say sorry. Leaving Bella behind was the most stupid decision I have ever made. I wish I could go back in time…."
Fucking stupid bastard.
Edward glared at me and Jasper. I think he also shot some kind of insult.
"DON'T YOU DARE GLARE AT US! IT'S YOUR FAULT." Alice yelled. I wondered what that bastard did to enraged Alice that much.
"Sorry."
"You should be. That does not solve anything. I warned you!"
"Then why don't you tell me what to do. I promise to listen to you." He countered.
"You know I could not see." Alice hissed. We all gasped.
"WHAT?!"
"Wait Alice. Let me talk first." Edward begged and Alice nodded.
Edward took a deep breath. What the hell is going on? "I saw Bella."
"Where?" Esme breathed.
"In collage. She joined as a new professor, Native American History."
"Wow." I could see everyone was proud of their little human and if I was being honest then I was too. She did not ruin her life like Edward, she made it much better.
"She did a good job with her life. I am proud of my daughter…There was something else. What's that son?"
"She was not alone."
"What do you mean?"
"Mom, I have a daughter!"
Okay.
I think vampires could have hear-problem too. There was no way I heard correctly.
Could I?
NO WAY. I wonder if there was a doctor for vampire. Surely Carlisle would know.
"What's the punch line?" Emmet was finally able to find his voice.
Edward's face was composed. "I am not joking Emm. I have a daughter. I am so sorry. I had no idea…."
Edward started his rambling. I knew better than hear him. I watch from peripheral Esme went to sooth him but I was not paying attention to them.
Edward has a daughter. That means I have a niece? The only reason I hate this existence though I had a perfect husband and a perfect family, was because I could never be a mother. I could never have my own child. But now I am an Aunt, I have my own niece. Aunt Rosie. It sounds perfect. More than perfect. What did I tell about Bella earlier? You accept her unconditionally and it's her responsibility to bring you happiness. I knew it! But I had no idea it works that fast!
Edward looked at me quizzically. I ignored him. There was no way he could ruin my mood now.
"So you had sex with Bella. WAIT. That means my little brother is not a virgin anymore!" I smacked my husband's head. It was not time for his jokes. We had much more important things in our hand.
"Ouch"
"Tell us about my granddaughter, son. She should be half-vampire. How is she? And Bella? Is she fine?" That caught my attention. I wanted to know about my niece.
"I can't say much dad. But she almost looked like a normal five year old…."
"How does she look like? Can you bring them here? I missed my daughter and I want to meet my granddaughter. Oh My Goodness. I have a granddaughter! Now I am a grandmother! What is her name? What is her surname? Is it Cullen or Swan? I hope it is Cullen. What you think she should call me? Grandma is perfect but I think Nana would be more perfect. Yes. That's final. When are you bringing her home? What are you waiting for? You should do it already…."
"Take a breath Mom." Edward chuckled and I was a little unhappy she herself already asked most of those I wanted to ask.
"Yeah, did you take pictures? I want to meet the little one."
"Why bother Emm. Just ask him the address. We could go and meet our little sister and niece personally."
"Don't ask him about picture. He was too busy to ogling over them. Ask me." She offered some pictures proudly.
We all took one of them.
Oh. My. Goodness.
She was super cute. And she looked so much like Edward. She had the same weird hair color as Edward. She had curls. This photo did not reveal much. But I could tell she is vision. I looked at Bella. She did not look like twenty four, hardly twenty or twenty one. But looked healthier then earlier. That's all I get from the picture. I was not satisfied with the picture. It was not a posed photo. I needed a better view.
I don't know what Edward is going to but I am going. Right now. I need to see my sister and niece.
"Before you could say something, I am not sure going to Bella's was a good idea." Alice told with a sad tone.
"You are not sure? Since when you started to guess Alice?" Emmet joked. I smacked his head; it was not a joking matter.
"What's wrong Alice?"
"What with that blind spot?" Edward asked.
Blind spot?
"I don't know what's that, but I can't see Bella and Lily…."
"Lily?!"
"Umm. Bella named our daughter Rose Elizabeth Cullen. Lily is her nick-name." I did not bother to study her tone or face.
Rose Elizabeth Cullen.
Rose Cullen.
Rose?!
My niece is named after me! Did I mention already I started to love Bella? Well from now she is my favorite sister and I love her more than my other siblings. Even she is one of my favorite people. I wanted to hug her. Oh, I could give her my new BMW if she wanted it. She named my niece after me.
"Elizabeth was your mother's name." Esme spoke quietly.
Uff. They had to notice only that part. Her name is Rose. She is named after me! I wanted to shout from the rooftop.
Edward glared at me which I shrugged. "Yes. And with her green eyes she almost looked like my mother. I got most of my feature from my mother. My daughter brought back so much of my mother's memory. I thought I had lost them forever…."
"I don't care. Can someone tell me why we just can't go and meet our sister and niece already? Even bring them home?" I would not mind if she wanted to change. This was her life not mine, so this should be her decision, not mine.
"Because this bastard had fucked up everything!"
"Mary Alice Cullen." Mom chided. Though I think she was right. He is a bastard indeed.
"Sorry Mom. But I don't think I said anything wrong. Today Bella practically kicked me out of her office! Can you believe guys? Our Bella?!" Everyone gasped. This was not the Bella we know. "He pushed her to this extreme. She did not even acknowledge me as her best friend. She was not even sure if I am still her friend. She made new best friend." She started to cry again.
"Don't worry Alice. She is still our Bella. I saw it in her eyes. She is just hart. She made a wall to protect herself which I am going to break." Edward told with determination.
I didn't know what to say since I did not meet her yet but I had a feeling that I am going to like that new Bella more.
"We should deal with one thing at a time. What were you saying about blind spot?"
"Yes Jasper is right. I did not understand it."
"I did not understand it either. Before whenever I tried to see our future with Bella, she was always a blind spot in my vision but I could see us, we all are happy but the vision is not as clear as others, without Bella. I could not find the timeline either. And with Lily, she is just a blind spot. I could not see her."
"Hmm."
"Interesting."
"Don't start it again." Emmet shouted before they could continue.
"I have a theory about Lily but I have no idea about Bella. I would like to meet them first."
I did not like it one bit. Why were we discussing that now? It was not that important. Yes, Alice's vision could have help but since we could do nothing about it then why bother now? Our first priority should be gate them back.
"We can discuss it later Carlisle. Our first priority is Bella and Lily." It was Jasper who spoke. He sounded impatient and did I hear wrong or he really ordered Carlisle? Because his last sentence sounded more like an order.
"So Alice what you think we should do?"
A/N
So what you think?
What you think about Rosalie?
At first I was planning to write the second part from Edward's POV since his mind is my favorite place to wonder but it would get more chaotic with all of the Cullens thought. You see they all lost it a little. Of course, after so many years of believe, out of nowhere they have a baby in the family now. Not to mention after six years of sadness, suddenly they got so much happy. It could be a little overwhelming for vampires too. Right?
By the way, I don't think our Bella was going to forgive them so easily.
And she should not!
Don't you think so?
