Chapter 6: Alice's Vision

Bella's POV

My anger had not lessened up one bit by the time that we got home. I wanted to kill those girls that had dared to even think about bullying my daughter. Then the nerve of that so-called principle. Never in my years as a vampire had I actually wanted to murder a human so badly before.

I heard a howl in the forest close by. "It's Jacob," Edward said. "He's trying to calm down enough to phase back. He's failing though,"

I thought back to just a few hours ago in the cafeteria. As soon as Stacy had taken Nessie's iPad and broken it he nearly exploded into his wolf self out of anger. He tried to remain in control but Edward knew he was losing the battle against himself. Somehow we managed to get Jacob out of there before he phased. Keeping wolf Jacob out of that cafeteria as the bullying escalated proved to be almost impossible.

I settled into my new room. After we found out about the Denalis betrayal we purchased a new house and left. Every time I thought about what the Denalis did it brought on a fresh wave of anger. How dare they keep Nessie hidden from us! My daughter!

It bothered me even more was just knowing that they would have kept my daughter's death a secret from us for the rest of eternity if she had died.

My daughter. My baby girl. I wanted her back with us where she belonged. I didn't want to pretend to be her friend. I wanted her to know that I was her mother.

I felt Edward's arms grab me into a tight hug. "Everything is going to be okay,"

"Our daughter just lost her parents. She fought cancer, she has no idea who we are, and she is being bullied. People who we used to consider family betrayed us in the worst way possible. How can you be so sure that everything is going to be okay?!" If I could I would have been crying an ocean's worth of tears right now.

"You're right I don't know how everything will turn out and that terrifies me," he admitted. "But we found her and that has given me faith. Something I lost years ago,"

"What are we going to do about our daughter? I hate that she doesn't even know I'm her mother. I want her to remember us. I'm so worried that she's living alone-"

"Technically she doesn't live alone. She has her sister and her little brother,"

"So three kids living alone. That's even worse," I glared at him.

"I know. But there's not much we can do right now,"

"I know and I hate that. She's our daughter. She should not be struggling like that,"

"I agree," I could hear all the pain he was feeling in those two words. Edward tried to keep his emotions to himself most of the time but somehow I always knew what he was feeling.

I tried to keep myself busy. I did my homework. I started reading Wuthering Heights...again. But no matter how hard I tried it was impossible not to think about my daughter and the situation he was in.

It was early morning when I heard Alice squealing in delight. I turned to Edward and he was smiling.

"What's going on?" I asked him in confusion.

"Alice just had a vision,"

I suppose I should have expected that was the reason behind her sudden excitement. But what had she seen that would cause her to become so excited?

Half a second later she was opening the door. The amount of energy she had would put the energizer bunny to shame.

"Alice what happened?"

"Something good," she smiled.

"Okay?"

"Right now Nessie is in the hospital with Carlisle,"

"My daughter is in the hospital?!" I started to panic. "and that's good news?!" for the first time ever I was seriously questioning Alice's sanity.

"Relax Bella Nessie is fine. It's her little brother that's sick in the hospital. From what I understood Nessie and her sister drove him there,"

"Okay and what exactly is the good news?" I failed to see how little boy in the hospital was good news.

"Carlisle has decided to ask them if they would like to come live here with us,"

I held my breath.

"The girls won't agree to it at first but he will manage to convince them,"

"Alice," I took a deep unnecessary breath before continuing. "Are you saying that my daughter is going to come here to live with us?" For the first time in a long time I felt true happiness.

"Bella you're a little slow today aren't you? I'm saying all three of them are going to come live here,"

"When?" Edward asked.

"Later today. We're going to help them pack up their stuff at their house and move them in today,"

"How are the others going to take this news?" I looked at my husband like he had lost his mind. Why would the others be anything other than happy.

Then I saw Alice falter a little.

"Alice?"

"Everyone will be happy about Nessie moving in. But the other two. Well I'll have to keep an eye on Jasper more in case he starts to slip," I shuddered when she mentioned Jasper. Jasper still struggled with self control around humans and three humans were about to move into our house. "Rosalie will be very angry that she now has to pretend to be human even at home," Alice continued. "Emmett won't mind at all,"

"What about Esme?" I asked.

"Esme will be absolutely thrilled. You know how much she loves kids,"

"and you're sure there aren't going to be any problems?" Edward asked.

"I can never be sure of that Edward and you know that,"

It didn't matter what the future held. At long last my daughter was coming home and right now that was all that mattered. The rest could be dealt with later.
