Part 3 - News and Reactions
"Now the reason we came to see you for first time, at least for myself, was that Bella wanted to see if you had moved on in your life,and also let me get to know her father, despite that she felt he had never been a good one, he still was or is her father, therefore she wanted to give it another try and chance to have a relationship with you, without demands or anything but love and acceptance of her being who she is today."
Clay said, as he held Bella's waist in gentle manner, it was then they all could see the way he held her like that, for her belly area was distended abit outwards, and Bella had just a soft smile while he held her like this, her hands joining in with his own hands there for now.
Charlie sat in shocked anger still, Renee looked confused while Phil looked unsure of everythingach, as Bella said
"Only person who remotely had been like parent to me is you, Phil for when you came in my life to be married to mom, you took over what I had done to keep us safe and sound, aswell have a roof over our head, for we were very close many times over the years to be out on streets for you, mom, you were not great handling your money, for whatever you got in as salary as teacher, you would over-spend it if I didn't take control when I was just 8 years old, and took over to cook, clean out over going to school, why do you think I was so relieved when you met Phil, the most kind man of all the men you slept with or dated over the years, who were the most sleezy and sick men too, as they loved to watch me sleep or in the showers. How you didnt see it, I don't know if the so-called love you had for them was blinding you or not able to hear my voice on those sleezy scumbags of men you would drag home to fuck or whatever. I hope you have grown up and be the woman you are now, and not a child anymore. Dad, you may been my father, but your work and other things took over your mind very easily, and having me around made me feel like i was just in the way, therefore you ship off to stay with Black's despite I had told you I don't like Rachel or Rebecca as they were alittle too old and too busy with themselves to care for me, then there was Jacob, who would follow me around like a lovesick puppy dog. Why do you think I stopped coming and asking you to come where I was at the times from I was 12 years old, I just was tired of not being heard anymore. Same thing when Edward over there did what he did to break up with me and break my spirit for good while, afterall my screaming night terrors and being a "Zombie" would tell you that something was wrong, but like before you didnt care much more then to tell me to hang out with Jacob, despite I knew you wanted us to be more than that, when I couldn't and wouldn't for I never have loved Jacob in that way, and never will either now, as I am with Clay and he is my perfect match, for one; he doesnt have to let me do anything I do not want, for I can choose for myself without another person's input, though I do ask him if he feels ok with something I do want to do, but in the end it is MY own choice to make, not someone else. Something that I know Edward and Alice had very much issues to see or let me do. I am still in therapy for what had happened during those months of dating Edward over there, and I still have nightmares, but they are less frighten now, for I have tools to get through them while dreaming too, so I dont wake Clay up with my screaming of NO, please do not leave me here, for what I saw for months after Edward broke up with me for good for some childish lies and whatnot, was only darkness in my dreams and it terrified me to the point of me waking up screaming my head off. But I do not do that anymore, for Clay coming into my life when he did, saved me and made realise how dangerous of a life I was living at the moment, and made me wake up and start living my life again as I should have done all along. I am a person, not a fucking toy to play doll or emotions with, something I with my therapist realised that Edward and Alice essentatilly your whole family did with me, by making it like I belong for once in your family, just to be broken when Edward said his things to me when he broke up with me in the forest behind this house years ago, and not helping me back to my dad's house, instead I was found by Sam over there, at around 5 AM in the morning after and I was on verge of getting sick by flu and the rain that had fallen all through the night. How he found me I don't know but I have a clue of how but I dont know if I should say it or not, as it is not my secret to tell anymore really. So Sam, thank you for finding me when you did, for I was very close to death that night."
Sam nodded as he too was shocked of her long speech, so were the others, Edward sat with his head bent down in what he thought was of shame and anger aswell regret, while Alice looked she was vibrating in anger in her seat. Charlie sat in shock of what she said about himself, and Renee looked like she was ashamed for real of her behaviour had been that bad really, and Phil looked just proud and glad of what she spoke of himself being like towards herself. The others ranged from this and that emotions. Jacob looked angry at this point of being told the girl he had a deep crush for, would never love him back in same way, for another person had taken that place from him, and not Edward either.
Carlisle said
"How ill were you that night?" Another voice from the doorway, said angrily at Carlisle
"When I got to see her that night, she was very under normal body temperature and she was very wet into the bones under her clothes, and incorhearant to hear most words as it was mostly with shattering teeth, but all I got to hear was "He is gone." from her mouth when she could say it without hacking up coughs or teeth shattering of the cold she was in. How you allowed your under-aged son to treat her like that, fathoms even me, that you allowed him to be a "father" of decision, when he is too young to even know how to be like a father. I don't know you afterall that comes around about the way you up and left just for your under-aged son who seemed not have to change one bit since then either, let him decide for you to up and leave without another word to us others who depending on your help in the hospital, Carlisle."
Many sat in shock as it was none other Dr Gerandy, Bella on the other hand, smiled wide and went over to give the elderly man a hug of her own, as she said
"I never thank you both for the care you gave me that night but also the suggestion of moving away and getting help of a recommended therapist to where I was moving to after graduation, Dr Gerandy."
He smiled, said while still in a hug with her;
"I only did what my oath I gave at my own graduation from College said to me to do whatever your feelings are towards the person you are treating may be a bad person, something I know you are not at all, Bella. And Bella dear, it is John now, not Dr Gerandy, as I went into retirement last year. I only came for I heard you were in town by my recommended friend and your therapist, Bella."
Bella nodded as the others were shocked of his words. Carlisle looked like he wanted to hide away or something like it. Clay came over and thanked the man himself with a handshake, and words of thank you for saving my wife and her health. He just smiled and said modestly only did what I was trained to do. Bella said
"And how is your wife, Marianne, doing as i heard what happened?"
"She is on her way to getting better, thank you dear. She is really happy know you think of her."
Bella just smiled and snuggled up into Clay's arms. Who just smiled and held her gently in his arms as John said
"Oh my, may I say you are glowing perfectly fine in your pregnancy, Bella?!" Bella smiled, while the others in the room were shocked to choked up on his words, as Bella smiled, said
"Thank you, I feel finally good in my pregnancy, as first trimester was horrid on me, but now I am finally gaining the weight and getting back to my more normal self too."
Making John chuckle, as he said
"Oh I can see that you have do so, dearest. And congratulations on your pregnancy and marriage to Clay here. I am very happy for you both."
Bella smiled, as she then turned to the shock audience and said
"Surprise, I am 4 and half months pregnant with our first child, and I am due in April."
Many of them sat gapping at her or them in shock and anger in some's eyes and faces. Clay just smiled at this, as John bad goodbye as he only came to see if the rumours were true or not and say his own piece in things, but he left with a congratulations from Marianne and a promised word from Bella to call more often to himself and Marianne, which she promised to do so too. Clay just smiled, then he also left them there, and they turned around, as Edward finally enough of the bashing stood up quickly, almost too quickly for normal humans to see difference of his speedy rising, and started to yell...
