A:N/ Sorry for the long wait had a bit of a road block with getting from where I was to where I want to be in the plot. It might take a few short chapters but as long as we get there, right?
I do not own twilight.
Ch. 4
Bella's POV
I can't believe he's hugging me…He probably thinks I'm a crazy person.
I don't know how long we sat there with him holding me, soothingly whispering to me that everything would be okay.
I was jerked back into what I like to think is reality by the front door opening. Wiping my eyes I reluctantly pulled away.
"Daddy! I'm Home! Did you miss me?!" An adorable voice called out.
"Jasper Ross! You know better than to run across the street by yourself! Car, someone parked in your driveway…I don't recognize it so it must be…oh…hi.." A beautiful blonde woman trailed off upon seeing me snuggled into him.
Rose can you please set Jazz up in the den with a movie…then I'd like for you to come back out here and meet someone very important to me." He said, nodding at me.
As she nodded and lead the small boy out of the room I heard him inquire as to who I am.
"I think I should leave…She didn't look to happy that I'm here." I suggested starting to get up.
"No! Please stay, I'm sure she has the wrong idea in her head about you but once she knows who you are she will be so thrilled. She was so excited to be an aunt to you and she will love to know that you have her name with you still. " He said urgently.
"Ok somebody needs to explain what's going on right now or some heads are going to roll." Rose came into the room with her hands on her hips. I quickly moved and sat in the armchair across from Carlisle.
"Rose, this is Isabella Higginbotham….Renee's daughter…" He said with a smile on his face.
"Oh…oh my god…Really?" she sat down on the couch next to her brother with her hand over her mouth. I waved awkwardly with tears back in my eyes.
"yes Rose, really. " Carlisle answered still smiling. He frowned when Rose got a pissed off look on her face.
"Well the bitch has some nerve! Breaking your heart by leaving without a word and then coming back 26 years later with her daughter to what? Finally bring back the daughter that should have been yours? To tell you that she's been happily married for years and that Isabella was raised by a great man and not to worry?" She spouted off angrily. "Well where is she? Hiding in the kitchen? The bedroom?" She continued on, pacing the living room.
"She's dead." I finally spoke up with no emotion in my voice. Rose stopped and swirled around to gape at me. Sitting down again she looked ashamed. "Don't feel bad Rose I'm angry at her too…no she never married and no I wasn't raised by anyone great, not even her…She never even told me about Carlisle, and she died 3 years ago I'm over it…Carlisle dropped his wallet this morning and when I pulled out his id to see where he lived, a picture of him and my mother fell out too…it was dated a few weeks before I was born so I came here thinking that he was maybe my father…" I finished looking down at my lap still disappointed that this kind man wasn't my father.
"He really wanted to be…I'm sorry for lashing out like that but she broke my families heart…We were so excited to meet you even though you were conceived from something so horrible. I have always hoped that your mother would have told you about us and you would come find us when you were of age if for no other reason than to let us know that you were ok." She said, coming and crouching down in front of me. She grabbed my hands and I looked up from my lap.
"I'm not ok…I'm so mad at her and I wish I could ask her why she left…There were people out there that wanted me and she took me away from you…for what? So that she could neglect me? Date a bunch of creeps that terrified me? So I would never feel safe for my whole childhood until I got out of there to go to college?" I said with more tears falling from my eyes.
Suddenly I became very angry and jumped up to pace the living room. I desperately wanted to throw and break something but this wasn't my house and I couldn't in good conscience break someone else's possessions. Rose stopped me mid stride to take me into her arms in a tight hug.
And that's when I broke down again.
So not my best Chapter but it really is getting hard to get from point A (where the story started) to point B (where I want it to go). Also if anyone has any suggestions on who I want her to be dating that would be great I'm flip flopping between Emmett and Paul and whichever one she dates is going to be Rose's man. Thanks for reading and please drop a review for me!
