Chapter 3
The car had barely come to a stop before the front door opened and four figures stepped outside waving at the car. Conner was quietly fidgeting which meant he was nervous, something very odd for him. I knew it wouldn't last long especially after he met Emmett, I knew the two of them would get along well, what with Emmett acting Conner's age most of the time. I, however, was overjoyed to be seeing the people I had considered family most of my life.
The first person to greet me was Rosalie. We had always gotten along well and I considered her my sister. She grabbed me in an tight hug and whispered in my ear how much she had missed me and how happy she was that we were here. Next was Emmett who picked me up in an enormous bear hug and swung me around before setting me back on my feet.
"We're so happy you could come dear." Esme said as she hugged me. "We missed you so much." Carlisle nodded his head in agreement as he hugged me and kissed my forehead.
Then all the attention turned to Conner who had been clutching onto Jasper's hand through the whole exchange. I went over and picked him up, he clung to me as if I were going to jump back in the car and run away leaving him here. Jasper rubbed his back soothingly as I introduced him. "Conner this is Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett everyone I would like you to meet my son Conner." Everyone raised their eyebrows at this news but nobody said anything. I turned to Jasper "You didn't tell them?" I asked.
"Nope. I didn't think it was my story to tell." he replied, picking up our bags and heading into the house.
"Please come inside, you must be tired from you trip." Esme said kindly. She ushered us inside giving us a tour of the house and showing us to our room. They had two guestrooms but I told her Conner wouldn't be able to sleep alone in a strange house.
After freshening up we made our way back down to the family room where everyone seemed to be gathered. Jasper appeared immediately by my side asking if there was anything we needed. "Well I think Conner needs a snack." I knelt down next to him and said "Sweetie I'll bet Aunt Rose would take you to the kitchen and make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich how would you like that?" Rosalie's face lit up at my words and she nodded her head holding out her hand.
"You won't leave will you Mommy?" he asked timidly.
"Of course not baby, I'll be right here okay." I replied. He nodded and took Rose's hand.
As soon as they left the room everyone began talking at once. I quieted everyone and retold my story once again, trusting that Rose would find me later or get the story from Emmett. When I was through I was surprised to find myself a bit choked up but not in tears. Everyone was quite for a few minutes absorbing everything I had said Jasper once again rubbing my back soothingly. Then Esme came over with tears in her eyes and hugged me tightly.
"Bella I am so, so sorry I have wondered and worried about you everyday since we left. I hated to leave you behind. I wish you had called me I would have been there in a heartbeat." she said, as she sobbed into my shoulder.
"Its okay Esme. I understood why you had to leave. You have no need to apologize." I said, returning her hug.
"Well you have to tell us all about Conner. He's such a handsome boy." she said, drying her eyes.
"Yes he looks so much like his father. I'm sorry I've kept him away from his second family for so long." I told them smiling. "I mean after all how will he learn to play abhorrently violent videogames if not from his uncle Emmett?" We all laughed.
Rose and Conner came back in and I somehow don't think it as well as Rose had hoped. Conner was covered with peanut butter and Rose had a shocked look on her face. We all burst into laughter at the sight. Conner was grinning from ear to ear.
"Mommy, Aunt Rose let me make my own sandwich!" he squealed.
"Really and how did that turn out Aunt Rose?" I asked trying to keep a straight face. Rose mumbled something while going to sit by Emmett still looking shocked that such a small child could make such a huge mess. Esme offered to get Conner cleaned up and we spent the evening chatting and watching Emmett and Jasper teach Conner how to play videogames.
The next afternoon while I was washing the dishes from lunch Jasper came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my head. "Its really nice to have you back with the family again Bells."
I was surprised again by the way he was acting although I couldn't deny that I loved the feeling of his arms around me. I leaned into him sighing. "Its really nice to be back, I've missed you all so much."
"Bella would you …like to go do something with me tonight? Esme already made plans for her and Carlisle to take Conner to see a movie and play at the park." he asked sheepishly.
"Umm sure Jazz what are we doing?"
His face broke into a huge smile as if I had given him the greatest gift ever. "Just dinner and a movie if that's alright. I think Rose was looking for you she's in her room." he said kissing my head again and leaving the room. I dried my hands and went in search of Rose wondering what was going on.
" Rose?" I called knocking lightly on her door.
"Come in Bella." I heard as I opened the door. It looked as if Rose's closet had exploded into the room there were clothes everywhere there was even a dress hanging from the light fixture.
"Rose what's going on?" truly scared now. Everyone was acting very strangely today.
"We have to get you ready for your date and I looked through the clothes you brought…" she trailed off looking at me as if I had committed a crime.
"What's wrong with the clothes I packed?" I asked a little peeved.
"Nothings wrong with them you just didn't bring anything appropriate." she replied.
"Rose what's going on?" I asked confused. "Why is everyone acting so strange?"
"Come on Bella you can't honestly tell me you don't know." She sighed.
"Know what?" I asked a little annoyed. I seemed to be the only one that didn't know what was going on.
"Bells, Jasper is in love with you. He has been since we were about 5 and you gave him your cookies at snack time. He's been patiently waiting for you for years." she replied, looking at me as if I had grown a second head.
"What? No. Jazz never even paid attention to me when we were growing up it was always him and Alice."
She shook her head sadly. "I know Bells and I'm not saying he didn't love Alice but he's always been waiting for you to notice him. When everything happen with Edward and then with him and Alice it took him awhile to see that he hadn't really gotten over you and moved on like he thought. And now you're here and he's taking his chance. Haven't you noticed the way he looks at you?" she asked.
"Umm, Rose I think I need to be alone for a little while. I'll be in my room can you watch Conner for me please?"
"Sure Bella, just think about what I said and decide how you feel because I love you like a sister but I won't let anyone hurt my brother. So don't lead him on."
I started to protest but she cut me off.
"I know you didn't know before now but now that you do if you don't return his feelings or your not ready then tell him. It's only fair."
I nodded at her as I left the room. "Thanks Rose."
