Author's Note: Okay guys, I know it's been forever and a day since I updated this story, but hopefully, this makes up for it, at least a little bit. Anyways, let's get on to the story.


Chapter 13

Days passed, and Bella became even clingier to Tanya, and Tanya to the human. What really made the vampire worry was that Bella, who seemed to love sleeping more than nearly anything, was starting to fight going to sleep for as long as possible, even putting up a fuss at night when it was time to go to bed. This of course didn't work well, as the more Bella seemed to fight her desire to sleep, the more often she passed out at least once an hour.

Every time Tanya asked Bella what was going on and why she was trying to fight off her need for sleep, Bella would just sigh, stroke Tanya's face, and say, "You're right, but at least you're here and all sexilicious."

"Right about what?" Tanya would always ask, putting her hand over the hand Bella laid on her face as she tried to coax the answer out of her. But Bella would never answer in a way that made sense, often looking at Tanya with confusion before attempting to wrap her limbs around Tanya's body while mumbling about fruit, for some reason or another.

The truth of the matter was, Bella was having dreams, dreams that she really didn't understand. Some would start off nice, others would start off with screams, but regardless, they all ended up in the same place. She'd end up sitting on some grass, and on a small island, surrounded by a sea of blood, another version of her would stand, laughing maniacally with eyes glowing purple. And then, from behind, Tanya would appear, wrapping her arms around the normal Bella as they watched the other Bella.

"If I can't control you," Tanya would always say, "If I can't control that. I will kill you. I'll have no other choice. If I don't, then you'll kill us all."

Then the other her would turn and look at them, look at Tanya, and get a really pissed off look on her face, her lips lifting in a snarl, revealing thick fangs. As the other her would start wading towards them with purpose, Bella would wake up.

Each time Bella had this dream, she'd wake up a little confused, wondering why Tanya's melons were no longer pressing against her back. Then she'd see Tanya staring at her worriedly, and Bella would feel compelled to assure Tanya that she was still her, and that this Tanya was the real one. Then she'd get distracted by Tanya's breasts once more, mostly due to the low cut of Tanya's shirt, and feel the need to have them pressed against her once more. It was the best Bella could get, as Tanya still discouraged groping when she was in the right mind, as she seemed worried about hurting Bella for some reason.

When Bella woke up this time, however, things were different. She had no idea where she had fallen asleep at, and what confused the human even more was that the golden eyes looking down on her weren't Tanya's.

"Morning, Sissleepsalot," Emmett said with a grin which was quickly covered by Bella's hand as she pressed her hand against his face and pushed him aside so she could look around the room in confusion.

"Tanya's downstairs," Rosalie said with a roll of her eyes from where she had been reading her book on the other side of the bed. "She wanted us to watch over you while she cooked you breakfast."

Bella frowned, still confused, but got distracted by Emmett licking her palm. She finally took her hand off of Emmett's face, only to wipe his saliva on his cheek, making him chuckle as he wiped his the wet spot with his shirt. Bella then decided to go to where Tanya was, and since she didn't want to have to take even a step farther than necessary, she crawled right into Rosalie's lap.

Rosalie set her book aside but didn't know what to do after that as the hundred pound human managed to get her knees and hands onto Rosalie's lap. Bella then paused, confused and unsure as to how to continue her trek.

"Can I help you?" Rosalie asked dryly, but Bella didn't seem to hear her as the brunette was suddenly filled with determination.

Getting as low as she could, Bella reached towards the floor, only to find that, thanks to her small body and the tall chair, Bella couldn't reach. She let out strange grunting sounds as she waved her hand back and forth, willing it to stretch the necessary inches to where it could touch the floor. She was stretching so far, in fact, that she went a little too far and started to fall forward.

In a flash, Rosalie grabbed Bella by the back of the shirt, preventing the girl from hitting the ground face first. Bella didn't even notice the save, instead focused on how much closer the ground had gotten.

"Bella, you have to be careful," Rosalie chided the human, but this time, Bella actually heard her.

"I can't, I'm flying," Bella replied as she struggled to reach, now all four limbs flailing around since Bella was across Rosalie's lap on her stomach.

"That isn't flying, Bellsy, but there's lots of fun two people can have in that position. I bet Tanya would love to show you all sorts of joys with you across her lap like this sometime. Rose and I sure do love it a lot," Emmett said with a loud laugh, unable to contain it at watching Bella struggle.

"Tanya likes this?" Bella asked in confusion, looking over her shoulder at Emmett.

"Oh my god." Rosalie groaned. "Emmett, shut up. Bella, how about I-"

Before Rosalie can finish, Kate burst into the room, her eyes bright and a grin in place as she focused right on Bella. "Sorry guys, but I can't hold back any longer. I've been waiting for her to wake up for hours." She then scooped Bella up, holding the girl's body sideways under one arm like a football, and ran right out of the room. The entire time Kate was running, Bella had her arms stretched out in front of her, hands curled into fists, body straight, and everyone could hear the monotone "Weeeeeeeeeee," that came from Bella, clearly enjoying being carried in that way on some level.

"Kate," Tanya snapped from the kitchen, stopping Kate just in time from using Bella as a battering ram on the door to escape outside. "I already told you, you can't kidnap her."

"But she's awake this time," Kate whined, pouting pathetically.

"I don't care. I made her breakfast, and I want her to wake up more before you drag her into even more trouble than she already gets in on her own," Tanya shot back as she went about setting food on the table for the human.

"But she never wakes up," Kate complained.

"Which is why I said I wanted her to wake up more, not completely wake up," Tanya replied calmly, pointing at the empty chair in front of the full plate of food. "Now sit her down here so she can eat."

The entire time that the two sisters had spoken, Bella had been completely quiet and still, her eyes fixated on Tanya. But when Kate started to obey Tanya's order with a sigh, Bella started to struggle, surprising both of them.

"Bella? What's wrong?" Tanya asked, alarmed. "Kate, put her down, you might be squeezing her too hard."

Kate was quick to put Bella down, making sure to put the human on her feet, then act as support when Bella nearly fell over, unbalanced by her own struggles.

"You need to sit down first," Bella announced, staring seriously at Tanya. She proceeded to try to walk to Tanya's side, only to nearly fall over twice, one being caught by Kate, the second time, falling right into Tanya's arms.

"Why is that?" Tanya asked with a soft smile on her face, looking down at her mate with adoration as she pulled Bella against her body.

For a moment, Bella didn't reply, thoroughly distracted by Tanya's smile and the feel of Tanya's body against her own. Then she snapped out of it, reluctantly pulling herself from Tanya's arms, and proceeded to try and pull out the chair next to the one that was Bella's. She somehow managed to pull it out with enough force that one of the legs slammed right into Bella's leg, and hard.

Everyone in the room froze, sure the blow had to have hurt, and Tanya was quick to put her hand on the small of Bella's back in case Bella fell over. But she didn't, surprisingly enough, and after ten seconds of silence, Bella looked down at her leg with a frown.

"Ow."

Kate, Alice, and Emmett cracked up laughing, and everyone else either had to stifle their own laughter or at least hide their smiles. All but Tanya, of course.

"Are you okay?" Tanya asked anxiously, only just restraining herself from bending down and pulling up Bella's pants leg to examine the damage for herself. She didn't want to risk upsetting Bella's balance again, after all.

"Sit in the chair," Bella said, getting back on task. She grabbed Tanya's hand with both of hers and started to pull, putting all of her strength into it.

"Okay, Bella, I'll sit down. Just be careful," Tanya murmured softly as she lowered herself into the chair, making sure to use her strength to keep Bella from falling once more, than get her to stand upright without stumbling once Tanya was seated. Tanya was about to pull herself into the table, giving Irina a look to let her sister know that she should keep a close eye on Bella and make sure the human didn't hurt herself as Bella sat down next to her, but was then given quite the surprise when Bella threw herself into Tanya's lap.

"Bella, what are you…?" Tanya trailed off, bewildered beyond compare, as Bella, now with her stomach against Tanya's legs, held her arms and legs straight out and began moving them furiously back and forth with a look of determination on her face.

Immediately, Emmett burst out into his loudest laugh today as Rosalie glared at him, backhanding him hard in the stomach. "See what you did?"

"I didn't think she'd take it like that!" Emmett protested, still laughing.

"What's going on?" Tanya asked, still incredibly confused as she looked between the scene on her lap and Emmett and Rosalie.

Before anyone could answer, Bella got up, and with a calmness about her, sat down at her seat and picked up her fork. Her eyes landed on Tanya long enough for Bella to say, "You're welcome." Then Bella focused on the food with a single minded intensity, and she started to shovel the food into her mouth.

Everything was quiet for a long moment once more, interrupted only by Emmett's laughter and Rosalie trying to hush him, but Tanya managed to get back on track as she focused on Emmett and Rosalie once more.

"What was that?" Tanya asked, but only after she regained her composure.

Sighing, Rosalie said, "My genius here made a stupid comment about our private lives and yours after Bella fell on my lap, and it seems she took that comment way too seriously and literally."

At first, Tanya had to struggle with her possessive instincts flaring as she thought of Bella in Rosalie's lap, but she reigned them in quickly. She could already piece together what happened, and she smiled as she looked lovingly at Bella. It was clear that Bella thought...whatever that was...would make Tanya happy, and it warmed the coven leader to know Bella had wanted to do that, especially after just waking up, as usually all Bella could think about at that time was food.

That's right. Bella was still Bella, and it was clear Bella loved her, no matter how strange her behavior was. If anything, Bella's strange behavior only made it clearer how much Tanya meant to the human. It was also thanks to this strange behavior that Tanya wasn't sure how Bella would react to certain scenarios, and while Tanya didn't think Bella would react negatively to what Tanya wanted to share, the coven leader couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, the two of them couldn't stay like they were forever. If Tanya wanted to spend eternity with her mate, and of course she did, she would have to tell Bella the truth. Tanya couldn't, shouldn't, wait any longer.

It was about time Bella knew that Tanya was a vampire.
