Chapter 9: Aunt Alice

Nessie's POV

I felt my knees suddenly go weak as I stared into the eyes of my unknown relative. Then my world faded to black.

Everything felt hazy as I started to come back into awareness. My memories of the events before I blacked out were all very hazy. I could hear two people talking close by but the voices seemed strange and unfamiliar.

"Charlie that is not Bella. I can assure you of that," I heard a female voice say.

"Then who is she and why does she look just like my daughter?"

"I don't know but I am going to find out,"

I groaned when I suddenly felt the pain of a splitting headache.

"Nessie what's wrong? Are you okay?" the sound of Jacob's voice was instantly soothing.

"Headache," I groaned. "What happened?"

"You fainted and we brought you inside,"

"What? How long have I been out?"

"You've been out for a few hours. You're aunt and your grandfather have been trying to figure out who you are for the past several hours. Apparently I'm just a fly on the wall because no one has bothered to ask me,"

"My aunt?" I gasped. Then suddenly the memories from right before I fainted flooded my mind. "She's my aunt?"

"One of them. The physic one. Who knows what shes doing here,"

"Well then," I groaned as I started to sit up. "It looks like I'm going to have to go ask "

I suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in my stomach. I knew it wasn't labor pains. Having gone through labor three times already I knew exactly what that felt like. This was something entirely different. Just as quickly as it came though it passed. I felt more relieved when I felt the baby's little kick.

"Nessie are you okay, I think you should take it easy. After all you were passed out for several hours," he cautioned. I nodded my head in agreement. Maybe I should take it easy. For me and my baby. When I looked at my stomach and I mean really looked I realized it had grown even more since morning. I was only about a month pregnant and I already looked like I was 6-7 months along. The bruising along my stomach had only gotten worse. The only conclusion that my mind could come to was that the introduction of vampire DNA had not only brought out my vampire side but it had also altered the genetic makeup of my unborn baby.

Or maybe it just brought out the vampire DNA in my baby. Perhaps all of my kids unknowingly inherited my vampire genes. Genetics that were just laying dormant in my four year old Bella and three month old Carl. Perhaps my son Jackson Jr even had them. My chest tightened when I thought of my son. I still had a hard time grasping that he was dead and I would never see him again.

"I see you're finally awake,"

I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of the unfamiliar voice. I looked up and saw a short pixie like girl with golden eyes. Jacob stood in front of me protectively and growled.

"Oh shut up mutt. Now can you leave so I can talk to her privately?"

"Over my dead body. I'm not leaving her here defenseless against you,"

"I'm not going to hurt her. Which is more than I can say for you and your pack of mutts,"

"Don't get me upset or things will get very ugly-"

"Jacob just go okay? I'll be fine. After all she is family,"

The girl just looked at me in confusion as Jacob walked out.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Renesmee. Who are you?"

Instead of answering me she seemed to go into a state of shock. Out of all the names in the world that was probably the last name she was expecting to hear. Especially since that was a unique name that my mother, her relative, had picked out for me

"Who are you?" I asked her again.

She shook her head. "Alice," she said. "Now who are you and what are you doing here looking for Charlie?"

"I told you my name is Renesmee though most call me Nessie. I came looking for Charlie because he's my grandfather and-"

"Impossibe Charlie never had any grandkids. His only daughter never had children so don't try to pull a fast one on me because I'm not going to fall for that. So tell me the truth. What are you doing here?"

"You mean my mother, Isabella Marie Cullen, never had any live babies. But she did have one that was supposedly stillborn right?"

"What? How did you-"

"I know because my father, Edward Cullen, lied to everyone,"

"How do you know my brother's and sister's name? How-"

"Because they are my fanily. A few days ago there was an accident and I had a memory of birth. My dad had pale skin, bronze hair, and golden eyes right?"

"Yes that matches Edward description but-"

"He and Bella had a baby together right? A baby girl that everyone believes is dead? A baby that she named Renesmee? A few days ago there was an accident and I had a memory of my birth. My father dumped me on the side of the road. I can show you if you'd like?"

I had recently discovered that I was gifted and I could show people what I was thinking by touching then. Maybe if I showed her my memory that would convince her that I was telling the truth. That I really was who I said I was.

"What do you mean show me?"

"I'm gifted. I'll show you what I mean,"

I grabbed her hand and started recalling the memory of my birth and my father dumping me on the side of the road. The way he had told me he'd hoped I'd get hit by a car and die to "save him the job,"

Alice looked at me with wide eyes. Too shocked to say anything. Then without warning she hugged me. I hugged her back. She was my family after all and I loved her already. I could tell that she loved me also.

"I'm so sorry," she cried.

"For what?"

"For what Edward did to you,"

"It wasn't your fault,"

"I can believe he-I mean I never imagined that he could've or was capable of-"

"Its not your fault Alice,"

"Aunt Alice. I'm your aunt. I can't believe-I mean I wish I would've seen-thats the problem. I never could see anything concerning your future that's why he was able to do what he did and get away with it," my aunt sounded like she was about to cry. "We failed you Nesie,"

"You didn't fail me. It wasn't your fault. What do you mean by 'seen' anyway?"

She smiled at me sadly. "I'm psychic. I never could see your future though. Don't worry Nessie. We're going to take care of this,"

"What?"

"Just relax and take it easy. Take care of those babies of yours,"

"Babies?"

She smiled again. "You have three heartbeats. While I'm no doctor I think it's safe to say you're expecting twins,"

I didn't know what to say. Before I could react my aunt already had her cellphone out and was dialing a phone number.

"Hello Carlisle. Yes. Its important that you get the whole family down here as soon as possible. Tomorrow preferably," there was a brief pause before Alice continued "make Edward come. I don't care if he wants to come or not he needs to be here to explain a few things. You'll understand when you get here,"

I listened in disbelief. I was going to meet my family. Even the father who dumped me and left me for dead.

Suddenly I felt another extremely sharp shooting pain in my stomach. It was all I could do to stop myself from screaming. Then, like before, the pain passed as quickly as it came.
