Chapter 22

We were sitting outside a house; we had been sitting there for about five minutes. I took a glance at Bella through the rear- view mirror, trying to read her face. She sat there staring outside the window.z

"Bella, you don't have to do this, you know," Alice stated.

She nodded. "I know...its just hard. I haven't seen her since I left."

Bella closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then looked over at me and I smiled, trying to communicate with my eyes that I was there for her and supported her. She gave me a smile in return.

"Ok, lets do this."

We all got out and I got Sophee out of her booster seat. She clung to me and looked around.

"Where are we Eddie?"

"We are are at your momma's grandma's house."

Sophee looked up at the house and then looked at me with nervous eyes.

"Will she like me?"

I smiled down at her. "Remember what we talked about last night?" She nodded at me. "So she will have to be crazy not to like you." I started tickling Sophee and she giggled loudly. I met up with Alice and Bella on the walkway. I situated Sophee on my left hip while I took Bella's hand with my right one. I squeezed it and she returned it. We walked up towards the red door and waited for Bella to make a move. Her hand slowly slipped from mine and raised it to knock on the door. We waited a few moments before we heard the locks turn. The door opened to reveal a woman who had the same soft eyes as Bella.

"Bella?" she whispered.

Bella bit her lip. "Hi Gram."

Her gram stood there for awhile before a couple of tears trickled down her face. "I didn't think you would come. I heard what happened at your parents' house."

Bella stood there for a moment before launching herself in her gram's arms, crying. She clung to her while her gram smoothed her hair down, kissing the top of her head. They pulled apart, with smiles on their faces while wiping their eyes. She then ushered us inside and we followed her into the living room. We took a seat on her oversized couch while she sat opposite of us in a chair. She took a deep breath and her eyes settled on Sophee.

"Oh Bella, she looks so much like you! She's beautiful."

Sophee hid her face in my neck and I rubbed her back.

"And bashful I see." She then turned her attention to Alice and me. "And who are these people Bella?"

"This is Alice and Edward Cullen. They're...they're two of the closet people to me."

"It's so nice to meet you!" Alice beamed.

"And I see Sophee has quite the attachment to Edward," Gram stated.

Sophee turned to face her with a huge grin on her face. "Eddie is my bestest friend. He plays tea party with me!"

Gram let out a loud laugh and shook her head. "Oh she's adorable. Sophee, would you come over her for a second?"

Sophee looked at me, then at Bella. When Bella nodded, Sophee slipped out of my arms and walked over to her. Gram placed her hands on Sophee's shoulders. "Would it be ok if I hugged you Sophee?"

Sophee nodded and Gram wrapped her arms around her. Bella let out a little sob and I pulled her into my arms. After the hug, Sophee decided to climb into Gram's arms and turned to face us. "You right Eddie! She likes me! She not crazy like the others!"

I couldn't hold in my laughter and laughed loudly. Bella and Alice joined in while Gram just looked at us. She then shook her head and stated, "I think I have another word other than crazy for them, much there are young ears in the room."

"Gram!" Bella exclaimed

"Well its the truth. I am so sorry Bella. They were horrible to you. The things they said, and how they believe they disgusting boy whore..."

"Little ears Gram."

"Sorry. But I still can't believe it. They chose him over you, causing you to leave! I am so angry with them, being one of the reason you left. It was like they took my granddaughter and great granddaughter away; it was unfair,"

'Who your great gran...granddaughter?" asked Sophee.

She tickled her. "You silly!"

Sophee beamed and turned to me and whispered loudly. "Did you hear that Eddie? I great!"

We all laughed again. "Of course you're great Sophee. Anyone can see that."

Gram looked at me and smiled. "You know Sophee, I still have a swing up that your momma use to swing on when she was your age. Do you think Mr. Edward would like to take you out there while me, your momma, and Miss Alice get lunch ready?"

Sophee jumped off her lap and started clapping. "Please Eddie?"

I stood up and took her hand. "Of course. Lets go." I led Sophee outside and got her situated on the swing. As I pushed her I could see the ladies through the window looking into the kitchen. They were all laughing at something her Gram said. Seeing Bella smile and light up like that tugged at my heart. It reminded me of that smile she gave me when I first saw her. I knew I had to tell her soon about that day. I couldn't let our relationship get much further without telling her. She helped me so much that day, she deserves to know.

"What wrong Eddie?"

I looked down at Sophee. "Nothing sweetie, why do you ask?"

She shrugged. "You were just staring."

I smiled down at her. "Sorry, I guessed I dazed out."

She giggled. "Thinking about mommy?"

I couldn't stop the smile. "Yeah."

"You like her lot don't you?"

I nodded. "I do."

"Do you loooovvvveeee her?" she asked while giggling.

I started tickling her. "Why do you ask?"

Sophee looked up at me and smiled. "You make her happy. And she looks at you like the princesses do at the princes in my movies."

"Does she?"

"Yep."

I looked back towards the window and saw Bella looking at us. When she saw I saw her, she blushed, waved, and looked down.

I didn't say anything to Sophee, but I did think, "I do Sophee. I do."
