Upon the Horizon
Ch.4 Reunion
Yesterday had been horrible. Having to see him again was all most unbearable. I could only hope he had listened and had gone home. But when I answered a knock on my door, it held behind it all of the Cullen's. This was not what I had expected at all and I was mad, very, very mad. Would it have killed him to just leave us alone no he had to piss me off.
"What is wrong with you? I tell you to leave us alone so you decide to bombard us with your family? Do you want me to kill you? We are most certainly more equally matched now." I said focusing my anger on Edward and not I his family it was not there fault.
"Oh Bella dear, we were just hoping to see Anthony. If you don't mind, that is." Esme spoke kindly. How could I ever say no to her? She was the sweetest person I had ever met.
"Fine, then come in." I said coldly. I closed the door behind them. And I was very grateful that Anthony was out with Alec for the day so he would not have to see the fight I was surely about to have with Edward. As we sat on the couch, the silence became unbearable. Esme was the first to break it.
"Where is Anthony?"
"He went out with Alec for the day he will be back around three o'clock." I said as nicely as could.
"Bella dear, how long have you been living here?" Esme spoke again.
"A little over four and a half years." I said.
"How were you changed?" Carlisle asked going for the more scientific question.
"Anthony began to produce venom when I was about three months pregnant. The venom began to spread through my body and I changed . . . of course the change was very unique." The stared at me curiously but I kept going before they could ask for details. "My body still ages. I have a unique cell structure that runs through my veins it is made up of venom, the blood I drink and my harder than average cells."
"Well that is interesting." Carlisle mumbled more to himself than to anyone else.
"I have spent the last year and a half studying my body. It is a very good job to have and I do enjoy it. I hope to someday come up with a way to help vampire women have children but as of now I have nothing." I said sadly.
"Ok, ok now that that's over with, tell us about Anthony." Alice said excitedly.
"Well, Anthony is four and a half. He loves to draw. He is incredibly smart and loving. I could never have asked for a better gift." I said proudly as I spoke of my son.
"What does he know about me?" Edward asked clearly upset about something.
"He knows your name is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." I said sharply.
"And. . ." Edward said angrily.
"And nothing; why should I tell him anything about you? " I asked in a harsh tone.
"Because I'm his father because he has I right to know who I am." Edward screamed at me.
"He does know who you are, that just happens to be all he knows. " I said back in an evil voice.
"You told him he was better off without me." With those words I heard the sadness leak into his anger.
"Yes I told him that because we are both better off without you. " I screamed. At those words he didn't know what to say. I felt like crying (if I could) but I had to stay strong and stand my ground.
"Bella I'm so sorry, I never meant hurt you." Edward said the pain was clear in his voice.
"Well it's a little late now, don't you think? " I said flatly.
"I know I was wrong and that you may never be able to forgive me but I would still like to be able to know my son . . . Please." Edward said.
"No, I have spent the last four and a half years trying to protect him and me from what happened. I can't let you just burst into our lives like this. I can't take it." I was so close to cracking.
"Fine, Bella, I will leave you alone from now on but please don't punish my family for what I did. Don't keep them away from Anthony too. They deserve to know him." Edward said, giving up on arguing me.
"Fine, your family can see him but you get out now and don't come back." I said not wanting to hurt the rest of the Cullen's for the pain he had caused me. He walked to the door and left.
"You can't keep Edward from his son."The door closed and Alice jumped up to defend her brother.
"I can and I will; it takes more than genetics to make a parent and I am Anthony's parent not Edward." I said wanting to get my point across. "Now I have work to do, you can come back and see Anthony at three o'clock. He should be back by then."
"Thank you Bella. We'll be back . . . but can you just reconsider letting Edward see Anthony. I know that he hurt you but he deserves the chance to know his son. Esme said; I simple nodded because if I had tried to speak my voice would have cracked. This was reunion is really taking a toll on me.
