Getting away from Bella for a moment, but I wanted to go to Fredrick and Thomasina for a little bit.
I own Nothing, except Bella's new family, and the plot.

I honestly don't think I've ever scene a room with such a small amount of possessions in my life, and that's really saying something. I mean, she had a job; didn't she spend at least some of it on herself? I guess I'm just asking that because that's what all of my other sisters do. Although, I wasn't the only one confused, Thomasina was verbally accusing of having no sense when it comes to spending money in the, "Right way" as she put it.
But, we didn't pack much: Just a couple sets of clothes and her books. We both didn't think Bella wanted anything else really; She didn't have that many CDs, and I doubted, after that night, she wanted anything that would remind her of her folks. But as we was about to leave, I stepped on a floorboard that seemed a little…less pressured? I guess is how I could say it. If that made no sense, it felt like there was something underneath it. Neither Thomasina nor I was the curious type, but it's not everyday you would feel something under a floorboard, even if you're supernatural. I stepped off of it, and pulled the board up by it's loose corner; and I was right. There was an envelope, three pictures, and two boxes; both of which I'd suspect had jewelry under the covers.
Thomasina was very excited, probably because she thought she could have them, but as I looked a little closer at them-well, at the envelope, and background of one of the pictures, they seemed to be gifts. When I told Thomasina, she was pretty ticked off, but luckily, she wasn't too selfish, I mean she had the largest collection of jewelry of all the women in the house. In fact, it was probably bigger then what any queen had in their safe.
I grabbed all the contents and put them into the cardboard box I had in my hands.
"Since we're practically done." She said gesturing to the room. "And so I'm not tempted to peek at those jewels, why don't we visit Bella at the hospital and drop them off for her."
"You know, I think that was the most selfless thing you have said in…since you learned how to talk." That earned me a punch in the shoulder, but it didn't hurt.
"Let's just go before I vomit from the hanging smell of blood and slaughter downstairs.
At the hospital

Oh what a relief it is to get out of that house. I swear, I almost died, but whatever Aldrich said we had to do it, so I just shut up and went. I didn't really pay attention to Bella's joining our family, I mean, it has happened a number of times before, so the excitement wore off, but then that night happened and she was sent to the hospital, again.
"We're here for Isabella Swan." Fredrick said to the receptionist, who was eyeballing him with lusting interest. Get a life you drunk whore. My brother's been through so many break ups in the past half-century. I honestly never know what he possibly sees in blonds, especially since most of them turn out to be bimbos looking for one-night stands as opposed to a serious relationship.
We walked over to the elevator, and pressed the button for the fourth floor. When we got there, we walked down the hall to the left, then to the last door on the right. When we entered the room to find Philomena on the side closest to the door, and Aldrich at the far side. He looked pissed though, "I thought I told you to go right back to the house when you were finished." Shit, I forget.
"We found some things that Bella might want beforehand." Fredrick sounded so confident saying that, but he seemed like an idiot to me. "These were under a floorboard in your room. I don't know why, but here. He opened the box he put the gifts in, and took all of them out in one. Then he put the put them on Bella's lap, the pictures facing down. "You might want to hold on the boxes especially 'cause Thomasina really wants to look at whatever's inside. But as she picked them up, her hands were shaking, tears were falling down her face, and she was mumbling something that sounded like, "He lied, I knew he was lying."
"Bella, dear, why are you crying?" Philomena put her hand on her shoulder to try and sooth her.
"I think you two should go now." Aldrich ordered, demand in his voice. "We'll see you back at the house."
We left then, "Did you hear what Bella was mumbling before?" I asked.
"Yes."
"What the hell was that about?"
"Maybe someone broke her heart? But it's really none of our business, so we shouldn't bother her about it. Until she wants to tell us herself."
"Whatever."

I can't understand the second box, I mean, I know one of them contained the necklace Alice gave me, but I'd never seen the other one before. Maybe it was due to the fact that I didn't want any presents in the first place, but then again, no one really listened to me that day.
"Bella?" I looked up at Philomena. "Would you like me to put those away for now?" I looked at the contents of my lap, deciding, I know what was in the envelope and of the boxes. I cried my heart out when I looked at the pictures and saw Edward, put it hurt me even more to think they would be taken away. I gave her the envelope and the box with the necklace in it.
"I want to hold on to these. I haven't opened this on yet." I said lifting the velvet box. Something told it was something very extravagant, knowing the Cullens and their money, but it doesn't really matter now. I opened the box to the most beautiful sapphire/diamond bracelet I've ever scene:
It had a graceful wave design with a beautiful array of marquise, round and baguette diamonds, arranged with rich blue floating emerald cut sapphires. And at the end, was a heart-shaped locket piece blanketed in an uneven of more diamonds and sapphires.
I cried even more than before just looking at it. I knew it was from Edward, because blue was always his favorite color on me. But when I opened the locket. I was blubbering; inside, on each of the sides, was a combined note in his script:
My dear Bella, words will never describe how much I love you. Instead, I give you my heart. With all my love, Edward.
A/N I hardly get any reviews anymore, (TEAR) ;( Those are my driving force to keep going. If you guys want me to keep going...
Sorry in anyone with blond hair is insulted, but I was just implying to the stereotypical; Dumb Blond just for Thomasina's character, and the fact that Fredrick likes blonds is a forshadow for later- Not TELLIN.
PS. Edward & Bella WILL meet again soon. Mark my words.
