Ch.3 The Unexpected

Elena was a year old now she was amazing her little face just lit up when she saw me but my face lit up when I saw her. I only had one class today and I was on my way to drop Elena off at the collage daycare center. She wasn't good about being away from me but she got used to it. She usually spent the day with Elizabeth but she had to work.

The class I had today is required for class for all premeds and pre nurses which is what I am. I was always good at biology. We are supposed to have a guest speaker today who will tell us the reasons why what we do is important and how we will use what we learn now in our careers later in life. I don't really think that this class is going to be major but I'm not the kind of person to skip class.

I got there just in time to find a free seat right in the middle. The class room was huge and I didn't like to sit in the very front or the very back so the middle always worked for me.

The teacher was on time today which was a shocker to begin with but the man who walked in behind him was not someone I ever expected to see again.

"Class I would like to introduce today's guest speaker Dr. Carlisle Cullen." That was very unexpected. I thought I was never going to see them again and now. I didn't know what to do I wanted so much to see them again to see him again. I just didn't know if I could handle it or if I could deal with him being so close and not being with me.

The class went by in a daze but as Carlisle was thanking the class for being here he caught my eye and that was it, he saw me. When class ended I was the first one out the door. I ran straight for the daycare center to go get Elena of coarse getting her took ten minutes because she wanted to keep playing and then I have to sign her out it's a whole project.



I ran as fast as I could to get to my car (which went at a pretty decent speed) when Carlisle finally caught me.

"Bella wait please." Well I had to there was no way I could out run him in my car or with Elena in my arms; I always went slower when I had her. So I stopped. "Bella you're a vampire . . . and you're holding a baby and so many other things. I don't really know what to say." This was not like Carlisle he was usually so controlled but today he looked confused and flustered.

"There's nothing to be said." I said flatly.

"Bella there is plenty to be said, we can deal with this at home. Won't you please come and see everyone and explain a few things." I owed Carlisle a lot I couldn't deny him he had saved my life on a number of occasions but I wasn't sure I could do this.

"Carlisle I just don't know if that's such a good idea." I replied I didn't have any better argument than that.

"Bella please we have all missed you and we want to see you. Please come with me." He pleaded. What he said meant a lot to me. I leaned over and gave him a hug.

"I missed you guys to. Alright I'll follow you to your house." I said before letting go and putting Elena into the car. I guess I was about to see if I could handle it or not. Maybe they did want to see me.

It was only a ten minute drive to the new Cullen house, this one looked remarkable like the one in Forks. I got out of the car and then unbuckled Elena from her seat. I grabbed my baby bag I never went anywhere without it.

"Do you think mommy can handle this?" I whispered to Elena in a silly voice. She just giggled and gave me a loud sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"You think it's funny do ya, do ya?" I asked in response as I tickled her chin before meeting Carlisle by his car. He didn't say anything as he led me to the door and let me inside.

The inside of this house wasn't all that different from the one in Forks either.



"We have a visitor." Carlisle said at a normal level everyone could hear him. One by one the whole family ensemble into the living room and as soon as they saw me their jaws dropped and their eyes bulged out of their skulls. I couldn't tell whether their expressions were caused by seeing me or seeing me with a baby. As I looked at them all I realized that the most important one of them was missing, Edward.

"Bella!" Alice screamed as she came running at me luckily she slowed down near the end to reduce the power of the impact. Probably because of Elena. I however ended up in a huge bone crushing hug but it felt good to have her tinny arms around me again I had missed this, I had missed her my sister.

"I missed you to Alice." I said as she finally loosened her grip. But when she did I was in another huge this time with Emmett.

"Emmett you going to hurt Elena could you loosen you grip a little bit, please." He did but only the sliest bit and it was another two or three minutes before he would let someone else huge me. When he did I was brought into gentler embraces with Esme, Jasper and even Rosalie. By the time the hugging was done Edward was there to. I felt so awkward to have him stand there and just look at me.

"Bella dear come have a seat. We need to talk." Esme said breaking through the uncomfortable silence.

"Um, Bella whose baby is that exactly?" Emmett asked. All I could think was whose baby would I have.

"She's mine Emmett and her name is Elena." I replied.

"Bella she's so cute, how old is she?" Alice asked.

"She turned a year old in June the day after Edward birthday actually."

"When did you get turned Bella?" Carlisle asked.

"October of last year." I said wondering what they would make of that I really did not want to explain what had happened.

"How were you able to carry her to full term if you were a vampire your body should have stopped accelerating both of your growth and maturity?" Carlisle was right by everything he knew.

"Elena is the one who changed me, I was never bitten." I didn't want to out and out tell them that Elena was Edward's daughter, but maybe if I dropped enough hints he would figure it out. "She's a vampire too; when I was three months pregnant I just changed. I can't explain it." He had to figure it out. I would not tell him. I saw him thinking he had a mask on that would not show his emotion.



"Bella do you mean that Elena is my daughter?" Edward asked; I always knew he was smart. I lifted my head up to make eye contact and nodded head, yes.

"How is that possible?" Carlisle asked not really expecting an answer but Edward had one.

"Carlisle how is any of this really possible out existence isn't possible but we're here. Who are we to say a vampire can't have a baby with a human. Hell, I'll believe it and I usually have more trouble with this stuff than you do." Edward must really want this to be true. He looked happier now then he had when I walked in and he hadn't looked that sad then.

"Bella can I hold her?" Edward asked sheepishly.

"Of course Edward." Within half a millisecond he was on the couch next to me. I gently handed Elena to him. She looked at him curiously then giggled and started to play with his hair. Edward just put on about the dumbest smile I'd ever seen and kept staring at Elena. It was love at first site for both of them.

Everyone else quietly left the room leaving only Edward, Elena end myself.

"When did you find out you were pregnant?" That was another question I didn't want to have to answer. Leave it to Edward to ask it anyway. Well might as well try the truth.

"The day you left." I said I a mumble. "I took the test that morning, three actually. I was planning on telling you when you said you were leaving."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Edward said sounding hurt.

"I didn't want you to feel obligated to stay so I didn't say anything." I mumbled back.

"Bella I wouldn't have felt obligated. Do you know what it means for me to have a child? It means everything and I've already missed so much, I really would have wanted to stay." Edward said.

"I also didn't want you around all the time. If you weren't with me it would have been too hard to have you there, I can barely stand it now." Oh God did I just admit that I accentually can't live without him well that's a little embarrassing.

"Bella I never wanted to leave you, I-I always just thought I was doing the right thing. I wanted to protect you from me from what I am, from what I could have done to you." Edward said.

"You don't have to lie to me. I understood what you said that day. I have to go to work I'll be buy later to pick her up. That is assuming you want to do some father daughter banding or whatever." I said on the edge of tears.

"Of course I do but Bella . . ." I didn't let Edward finish I just couldn't.

"Good I get off at seven, I'll see you at seven thirty. Everything you'll need is in the baby bag. Bye sweetie." I said giving Elena a peck on the cheek.
