Chapter 4: In My Mother's Arms Again

Nessie's POV

For that one moment that I was in my mother's arms again all of my problems appeared to have vanished. There was no cancer, there was no dying, there was nothing but pure love and happiness.

I was reminded of my childhood. When I was just a kid my mom always comforted me when I was sad. She comforted me when I was scared. She was there when I was lonely. Her presence alone had a way of making me feel happy, safe, and loved. It appears that time has not made me immune to that affect that she has had on me since childhood.

"Nessie? Baby?" she was clearly still in shock over the fact that I was here.

"Mom? Mommy?" was all that I could say to her in return. She just held onto me tightly. It appeared that she would continue to hug me for the rest of forever. I would not have it any other way.

"You are really here? I'm not dreaming?" My mom was always a little on the absurd side. She still had not changed.

"Im really here mom and I'm never leaving again"

"and I'm never letting you leave again" she said. "I will never in a thousand years lose you again. These past ten years have been excruciating. No words can describe the pain that I have felt"

"I'm so sorry mom" I started crying again. "Leaving was the stupidest thing that I have ever done. I've missed you so much"

"Nessie it was wrong of me to try to keep you from seeing Jacob. It was wrong of me to try to force you to fall in love with and marry David instead just because he was from our social class. Jacob was exactly right for you. Your heart chose him. Your father and I were just to stupid and blind to realize that before it was to late. We made mistakes to. Our mistakes forced you to run away"

"None of that matters anymore mom. What matters is that we are finally together again. I wanted to come back sooner but I was afraid of how you and dad would react. But now I see how stupid my worries really were"

My mom hugged me tightly and then gave me a kiss on the cheek. I gave her one as well.

"Where have you been this whole time?" she questioned.

"New York City" I told her.

"Where is Jacob?" she asked me. "Is he here with you?"

I took a deep breath. Thinking about my deceased husband was still really hard for me. I needed Jacob now more then ever. Why did he have to die?

"He's dead. He died in a car accident last year" I told her with tearful eyes.

Right away my mom began to comfort me. "I'm so sorry honey"

"It's okay" I lied when nothing was okay at all.

"Nessie I know you're lying. You don't have to lie to me" Why was my mother always so perceptive?

"It's been hard. I miss him so much. And it's been even more difficult on the girls-"

"Wait what do you mean by 'girls'?" she asked me with a confused expression on her face.

"That's right. I haven't told you have I?"

"Told me what?" she demanded. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen what are you keeping from me?"

"Mom I have two daughters. You're a grandmother" I told her.

The expression on her face was priceless. If I thought my mom was happy before I was dead wrong. She was beyond happy now.

"I have a 9 year old. Her name is Belle. I named her after you"

Now my mom was crying tears of happiness.

"Were you already pregnant when you ran away?" she asked me.

"Yes. I was already three months pregnant. Carlisle had just confirmed the pregnancy when I ran away. I wanted to tell you and dad. I really did. I tried to but that was the day that you and dad forbade me from seeing Jacob and threatened to disown me if I ever saw him again.

10 years earlier...

I rubbed my stomach soothingly. For the past two weeks I had been throwing up every single morning. Then a couple of days ago I looked at my calendar and I realized that I was late. I secretly went and bought a pregnancy test which came out positive. Then I had made an appointment with my grandfather so that he could confirm my pregnancy. My grandfather was the only one who supported my relationship with Jacob.

Carlisle confirmed my pregnancy. He had agreed to keep the secret until I was ready to tell my parents. Only he and Jacob knew that I was currently pregnant. Jacob was ecstatic. No words could describe how happy he was that he was going to be a father.

Now 24 hours later here I am about to tell my parents.

"Mom, dad. I have to talk to you about something"

"Is it about Jacob?" my mother asked.

"Well, yes. I mean, it involves him-"

"Then we don't want to hear about it!" my father shouted. "You and that can't be together! He is nothing but a poor little kid that will never amount to anything! He is not from our social class! The only thing he is after is our money and we will not allow it!"

"But-"

My mother then slammed her hand down hard and scared the crap out of me. My mother never got upset like that. "Nessie that is enough young lady! You will never see him again! You are forbidden from seeing him! And if we ever find out that you are still with him then we will disown you!"

I ran up to my room crying. That is when I started making plans to run away with Jacob. Which we did the very next day.

Back To The Present

By the look on my mother's face I think I could safely say that she was reliving the memory of that day just as clearly as I was. She even started crying.

"Nessie I'm so sorry. But you should know that we regretted what we said about disowning you the minute we said it. We would have never gone through with that. I've relived that day every single day for the past 10 years. It's always been a painful memory for me and now that I know you were going to tell me you were pregnant I feel even worse"

"Mom I'm not mad at you. I love you. I always have and always will. Now I really want you to meet Belle and Lisa. Lisa is only 5 years old"

I will forever remember the moment that my mom met her grandkids. It was clear that she already loved them and they loved her. But sadly the kids could not stay long. There is some rule about hospitals and kids.

When I was sure that my mom had fallen asleep I called Carlisle. I needed to talk to him about possible cancer treatments for me. I've already been getting treatments but it was urgent to continue them if I wanted a chance to live.

He came to the room.

"What's wrong Nessie?" he asked me.

"I need to talk about cancer treatments" I told him.

"Oh Nessie you really don't have to worry about that. I already talked to your father yesterday and he already has a treatment plan in my mind for your mother"

"Grandpa you don't understand it's urgent that I discuss this with you and you need to hear me-"

"Nessie I don'g need to do anything" his voice had risen in pitch at the end. "It's already been settled with your-"

"I'm not talking about-"

"Nessie I know you sometimes have a problem with listening-"

"It's about me!" I shouted. "I have terminal leukemia and I need your help!"

My grandfather went as white as a ghost.

"You have what?" I turned around when I heard my mother's voice. Then she broke down in sobs and tears.
