Chapter Four (Anger and Comfort)
(Edward's POV)

I couldn't believe it. But now knowing, I couldn't believe I miss all the physical similarties between Anabella and her grandmother, my Bella. They had the same facial structure, same cheekbones, nose, the same shape of their eyes. And Anabella's hair was almost identical to the texture and color to Jacob Black's hair. How could I have missed that?

So, here we were, Emmett, Alice, Carlisle, and I staring open mouthed at the decendant of Isabella Swan.

(Anabella's POV)

Okay, the fact that three people I barely knew were staring at me made me just a little bit uncomfortable. Okay, I lied. It made me REALLY uncomfortable. Almost as if he read my mind, which he probably did, Edward tore his gaze away from me.

The rest of the Cullen's did the same. "I knew there was something I liked about her!" Emmett boomed in that loud voice of his and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "Welcome to the family, lil' Bella!"

"I must say," Carlisle smiled. "This is quite an unexpected and yet welcoming surprise."

Once Emmett put me down I was soon enveloped in another hug, this time from Alice. "We are going to have so much fun together! I wonder if you are anything like your grandmother!"

I blinked. "You knew my grandmother?"

"Yes, we did," a blonde I assumed was Jasper leaned in the doorway. "She was the only friend we had that wasn't a vampire. It must be destiny that you found us. Bella Swan was always meant to be here and I guess her granddaughter decided to follow in her footsteps." He gave me a small smile before he went over to Alice and put an arm around her waist.

I realized Edward was unusually quiet. I touched his arm and he flinched back like he was burned. "Edward, are you alright?"

He looked me in the eye, and I could see the anger across his face. "Does your family LIKE to torment me? I am finally starting to get over my loss, and then the gods decide to smack me in the face with no other than the decendant of Bella, MY Bella." He turned away and started walking out the door. "I suggest you stay away from me or just leave this house and never return."

The door slammed and I felt like I was going to cry. How DARE he! I didn't do anything to him and all of a sudden it's MY fault my grandmother was someone they knew long ago? I huffed and pouted, using all my power to not sob so no one would know how much he hurt me.

Carlisle rubbed my back soothingly sensing my distress. Then against my will I suddenly felt better as a wave of calmness swept over me. Carlisle told me earlier of Edward's, Alice's, and Jasper's powers, but that didn't stop me from being shocked and almost jumping out of my skin.

"There, there, Bella," Carlisle whispered. "I'm sure Edward will warm up to you in time. He just needs to be alone for a while to digest all this information. He isn't normally like this so please don't think ill of my son."

I wiped at tears that weren't even there and chocked back a sob that almost came through. "He didn't have to be so mean..."

"I know, I know..."

Emmett picked me off the chair than sat me down in his lap on the floor. I was surprised, he started to pat my back. "Edward is just a spoilsport. But don't worry, you still have me, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, and Rose." As he said this an evil glint shone in his eyes. "I have an idea." Alice and Jasper playfully groaned and he mock growled at them. "How 'bout we all play a game? Y'know, something to make you feel more at home with all of us?"

"Wow, Emmett. You're two for two with good ideas today," Alice giggled. "Well, what do you want to do, Bella?"

"Hey, it was my idea, why don't I get to pick?" Emmett pouted and it made me giggle. It was amusing to see someone who could take on an oncoming missle and not get scratched pout like he was five. In a sense, Emmett did act like he was a little kid.

"Bella is our guest," Jasper replied. "Therefore, we should let her choose."

"No, no, that's alright. Emmett wants to choose." He flashed me a big grin.
He wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on mine. "Y'know, I have a feeling we will get along just fine, Bella. You're the little sister I always wanted. Alice doesn't count." He boomed with laughter when she glared at him. Suddenly, he grinned wickedly at me which made me instantly suspisious. He quickly got up making me drop to the floor with an 'oomph!' Before I could blink his face was in mine. "Let's play a hunting game. Whoever gets the biggest prey wins."

I blinked then grinned back. "You're so on."
