Upon the Horizon

Ch. 8 Farfetched

"Come with me Edward I want to see something." I said as I lead him into my lab I just had to see if I was right.

"Bella what are we doing?" He was just smiling like a child in a candy store how odd.

"Where going to see if you're still immortal because I'm not I want to know if Anthony changed anything. I still age but I'm also a vampire it's kind of like we both got what we wanted." We both smiled at that. "Now don't move this is going to hurt a little bit but I'll be careful not to take too much." I said as I took the scalpel to his arm.

He cringed away from me as the small blade pierced his skin; he's kind of adorable when he's venerable.

"Ok Edward it's all over you can look now." I said holding back a laugh.

"You know Bella it's a nice idea but the odds that I could go from immortal to mortal over night if kind of farfetched." I could hear that he wanted to believe it but he was the kind of person who needed proof.

"So are a lot of things like Anthony's existence that doesn't make them imposable." I put the sample onto the microscope plate and looked through the lends and moved it to a stronger setting ant then I saw exactly what I had thought. Edward had cells and they were multiplying right before my eyes. He was mortal.

"Well Edward like it or not I was right you're mortal now too." This was good I think it made me happy and Edward didn't seem to mind.

"Bella how did this happen I can't believe this it's amazing?"

"It's almost like you're body knew that you were a part of something greater than yourself so it made you more like a regular parent. Kind of like you gave your immortality to Anthony." That made senesce to me.

"Anthony is the best part of both of us and I know that I only have you to thank for that he is the greatest thing that I have ever helped to make and the purest. He is a beautiful person just like his mother." I wanted to cry Edward was such a wonderful person that's why Anthony is it wasn't just me.

"You know Edward you should take Anthony out for the day and just spend time with him by yourself I know he would like that and I have a meeting today anyway so I wouldn't be able to take care of him and then Carlisle and I were going to do some research." I said.

"Where could we go?" Right he doesn't know his way around.

"There's a park in the yard Aro had it built so Anthony could go to the park whenever he wanted. You too will have privacy it's his favorite place to go. He'll show you where it is." Edward would probably like it to it was a beautiful place.

"Thank you Bella."

"You're welcome. Now go wake him up I have to get ready for work and clean myself up." I said hurrying out the door because I was in a rush I was not ready for this meeting at all.

A/N I wasn't planning on doing this from anyone's point of view but Bella's but this had to be done, so here are Anthony and Edward at the park from Edwards point of view.

Bella was right Anthony did look a lot like me. He was sitting in the sand box playing but he wasn't saying anything. It was like being with Bella always wishing I could know what they were thinking.

"Are you afraid of me?" He was a kid blunt might work.

"No, I like you. You're nice and in the stories you were always the hero so I'm happy I got to meet you." That made me glad; even if I'm not a hero at least he doesn't hate me.

"Why don't you talk to me then? I really do want to get to know you. I'm your father and want to be your dad." I said.



"I don't have a daddy. I always wanted one but I never told Mommy. I think it would make her more sad. I don't like it when she's sad 'cause then it makes me sad." Anthony picks up on emotions really well; he and Jasper were going to get along great.

"Why is your mom sad, Anthony?" Not that I didn't know that answer already but I wondered what he thought.

"I think it's because she loves you and you left, that made her sad. Sometimes she cries and then all my aunts and uncles take me away so I don't really know why she cries for sure but that makes sense to me. Why did you leave Mommy anyway? I know she says it's 'cause you didn't love her but l don't think that's true." He knows that I love Bella even after what she's told him this kid is incredible.

"Anthony the truth is I left because I was stupid and I thought that I was protecting her by leaving. In the end, I hurt her more." He looked up at me with big butterscotch eyes that just made me melt; how in the world could a monster like me have helped create this angel . . . not without the help of his mother who is the queen of all angels and my heart.

"That was dumb 'cause my mommy loves you and I bet she still does, besides I like you." He liked me that had to count for something.

"I hope you and Mommy get married then I could have a regular family."

"I would be glad if she would just forgive me."

"She will." He said with a smile maybe he knew something I didn't.

"Thanks for your support."

"You're welcome Daddy." He called me Daddy I'm his dad. That was amazing. That was the most beautiful word in the world.

"I love you Anthony. Do you know that? You are the greatest thing I have ever helped create and I don't deserve you or your mother but I'm going to do everything I can to be deserving of you both." He had no idea how much he and Bella meant to me.

"Ok, Daddy." As he said that he got up and put his hands around my neck and his head on my shoulder. My son loved me. How could this be happening? I'm a father. I'm his father.

I stood up and headed back to Bella's apartment with my son in my arms.

I was just leaving my lab when Anthony and Edward came in. Edward had Anthony in his arms. I could tell Anthony felt safe with Edward just based on the smile he had on.

"Hi mamma I had lots of fun, daddy and I played at the park." Daddy, so Edward was daddy now?

"Well I'm glad you had fun." I really was. They should be happy together.

"Yeah I like playing with daddy."

"That's good because he's not going anywhere." Edward looked shocked that I had said that. Anthony jumped out of Edwards arms and grabbed his hand pulling him over toward me. He took my hand in his other.

"This is how it should be." Anthony said then putting my hand in Edwards.

I looked into Edwards eyes and saw what I had always wanted a future with him. I leaned over and kissed him deeply. When we broke apart I moved my lips to his ear and whispered: "I love you, I always have and always will."

"Bella you are my light and my life I will always be with you. I love you." He whispered into my ear. In that moment my heart became whole again.
