Tanya POV
The phone rings from the study. I grunt a bit and go to check the caller I.D. Esme? Why the hell is she calling. I answer and immediately realize my mistake. Esme's hurried excited voice blares through the phone. Yeesh that woman can be loud.
" Get down here now! She's getting married!" Esme squeals. Who's getting married now? I swear if it's Rose again, I'll jump off a bridge. She just got married less than three years ago. She doesn't need yet another wedding. It's too soon for that. I groan at the the thought. As much as I love her she needs to lay off the weddings for a bit.
" I'm sorry, but who's getting married?" I ask. Esme squeals so loud that I have to pull the phone away from my ear. Jesus Christ, that woman is way too energetic. I smile realizing how much I miss her. She's fun to be around.
" Bella! Bella's wedding is in a few weeks!" She cries gleefully. What the hell?! Bella's getting married?! She's only five years old! When the hell did this happen? And who is she marrying? There's no way in hell some random guy is stealing her away from me already.
" The fuck? Who is Baby Bella marrying, Esme?" I ask. She squeals even louder before, which instantly gives me an answer. It's Edward. She won over his heart completely, and now she'll be his wife. I knew she'd capture his heart eventually, but I didn't think she'd be able to do it so young. And maybe a small part of me hoped she never would. I've been in love with Edward for years. He knew I loved him, but he still chose a child over me. A human child no less.
" Wow. That's great Esme. I'll make sure to tell the others and we'll be there in a few days. When's the wedding?" I ask softly. I think she can hear the heartbreak in my voice, because she instantly asks what's wrong. But she already knows. She knows what's hurting me. She knows that I love Edward. And she knew it would hurt me when he married her instead. I know that they're mates, but I loved him for so long. Edward is everything to me, and he knows that. But he still chose her.
" Tanya, honey. I know you love him. But don't you want Edward to be happy? He loves her with all his heart and soul. And, don't tell Bella this. She will start freaking out. But she may not be with our family for much longer. Her biological parents live in Forks and want her back. Alice had a vision of them winning the court case and taking her away where we'll never see her again. We need to cherish every moment we may have left with her before she's gone." Esme says gently. Bella's going to be leaving the family?! NO! She can't leave us! She's OUR family!
" Oh. Oh god. Does Edward know about that yet?" I ask hoarsely. Esme tells me he saw it in Alice's mind. Wow. I hope he's okay. I know he loves her, and as much as it hurts to know he'll never be mine, I know it would break him to lose his Bella. They need heather.
" Can you put Bella on for a second. I'd like to talk to her." I say. The next thing I hear is Bella's cheerful voice squeaking out a loveable ' Hello'. I chuckle and remember why I love her so much. She's sweet and innocent. No wonder Edward's marrying her. She's perfect for him, in every way.
" Hiya honey droplet. Are you really marrying Edward, baby princess?" I ask smiling. I can hear Bella start laughing hysterically, and I immediately know Emmett's tickling her sides. She always laughs like that when Em tickles her.
" EMMETT MCCARTY CULLEN! YOU STOP TICKLING HER THIS INSTANT OR I SWEAR YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE MESS THIS TIME!" Esme screeches. Damn that woman can scream. I choke back a laugh.
" Ok. Sorry Mom." Emmett replies. He pulled out the ' Mom' card. There's no way he'll be in trouble now. Stupid damn cheater.
