I do not own Twilight or the songs, just the story line

Chapter 8

Portland, Oregon

Bella's POV

Oh My God. I can not believe that just happened. The Cullen's are here, they have VIP Passes, I can get my revenge. Also, I GOT ENGAGED. I am going to be able to spend the rest of my undying life with my best friend. I could not be any happier. The rest of the band just walked in with the Cullen's right on their heels. This should be interesting.

"Hello Cullen's" I stated

"Bella is that really you" asked a confused Alice

"Well, it depends on which Bella your referring to the weak human you met in Forks all those years ago, or a badass famous singer. Either way your correct." I stated

"Bella, why were you singing about deadbeat dads, Charlie was a great father to you." Asked a even more confused Emmett.

"Well Emmett, to answer your question, Charlie is not my real father. In fact, I do not even know my real father and the man that raised me was a real jerk." I stated

"Bella, how long have you been a vampire?" Jasper asked

"Well, to answer that question let me sing to you one of my favorite songs growing up and maybe you could figure it out." I stated

Nearer, My God, to Thee | Sarah F. Adams

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

Refrain:
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to Thee.

There let the way appear, steps unto Heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

There in my Father's home, safe and at rest,
There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

"Bella, that song is from 1859. That means you were a vampire when you were at Forks. That means your older than most of us. That means you are 159 years old." Jasper stated. At this point I can see that Carlisle is finally starting to catch on.

"Yes, your correct or at least partially correct." I stated.

"Bella, what is your full name?" asked Carlisle

"From which time period, I have changed my name often?" I stated

"From when you were human?" Carlisle asked.

"Well Carlisle, I see that you're finally catching on, but to clue in the rest of YOUR family. My human name was Isabella Annabelle Cullen." I stated

"Cullen?" asked Esme

"Yes, Cullen, do you want to explain, or do you want me to dad." I asked

"Carlisle, you had a daughter in your human life." Asked Esme

"No, I was a vampire. I am not Bella's biological dad. I was living in Italy with the Volturi. I was on a hunt when I found a woman who was pregnant with a creature. The baby clawed it way through the mother's stomach killing her. The baby was a little girl that Aro allowed me to raise. I named that little girl Isabella Annabelle Cullen." Carlisle stated looking at his family.

"But dad, you left out the best part of the story. Do you want to explain to them why you left me with the Volturi all alone at the age of 10 because I really would like that answer as well? Luckily Uncle Aro cared for me because you obviously did not, I mean you never told YOUR family about me or even recognized me when I came to Forks." I stated. "I mean that was the whole reason I traveled 5,694 miles all those years. I felt like once I saw you and your new family that I would understand why you left, a little 10-year-old girl who was trying to figure out how to live as half vampire/ half human feasting on animal blood surrounded by human drinkers. But no, it only left me more confused when I saw that you had new better, stronger children. The only good thing to come out of Forks was my relationship with Edward and even that did not last all that long." I said looking at Edward, then looking at Alec. "At least that lead me back to Italy to my true family. To my true mate. I realized that what I had with Edward was just a schoolgirl crush. I mean it was my first time in high school, I was in a new town, experiencing all types of new things as a human, but Alec is my forever. I think I always knew that even as a child, but it only took me suffering from two types of heartbreak to realize that he is the only one to make me feel truly whole." I said with a smile. Alec came over and wrapped me tightly in his arms and whispered, "I love you, Bella, today and every day for the rest of forever.".

"Bella, I am so sorry." Carlisle said.

"Don't apologize, I just want answers. You at least owe me that. If you want to leave after and never return to my life than so be it, I just want answers." I stated.

"I have the answer, but I do not know if it is what you will want to hear." Carlisle stated.

"I don't care if it is what I want to hear. I want the truth as to why my father, the only person I had left me at 10-years-old." I stated

"Ok, the truth than. I had wanted to leave Italy and the Volturi for years before even finding you. I never really felt like I belonged. When you were 10, the Volturi made you their princess. I knew that you would do wonderful things one day, but I also knew that I could not stay with the Volturi. I wanted to take you with me but realized that would never be allowed now that you had a title and I could not take you away from the title because I knew once you were old enough to make changes, they would be the best for the vampire world. I could not bare to take that way from the world. I had ever intention of coming back to see you, but then I found Esme and Edward. I was starting over and knew that if I went back, I would be stuck in that castle again because of you. I had to do what was best for myself. I am so sorry." Carlisle stated clearly upset. "But why they not taken it public that they have a princess?" he finished.

"It was my choice; I did not want to take a bigger role as princess without answers from my father. I did not want the vampire world to have a broken princess, but I have taken on some princess responsibilities. I have been helping Uncle Aro and the other kings make decisions. I was the one that pointed out the good of allowing our band to go public to the world. Granted no one knows that we are vampires, but we now have a public influence with the human world." I stated. "I just want to add on that I forgive you dad. I still do not understand why or how you could have done it, but I want to try to forgive and forget. I still want you in my life. I want your family in my life. I want to have you at my wedding. I want you to be in my future children lives, I want you to want to be there for them since you couldn't be there for me. But if you ever hurt them like you hurt me, you are done. Do you want to be apart of my life?" I stated.

"Wait, what do you mean your future children? You are a vampire we can not get pregnant and immortal children are illegal." Rosalie stated.

"As a half vampire/half human hybrid, I still have the ability to have children. But, what do you say dad? This is your last chance; do you want to be apart of it all? To be apart of everything." I stated slightly hopeful, but ready for disappointment.
