AN: Yay! I had internet for a while so I was able upload the next chapter! Woooohoooo! Hopefully I will be able to post the next one soon. Thank you to those who have followed and fav
orited!
DISCLAIMER: Gah, I hate this part, anyways; I don't own any twilight things, they belong to SM.
My jaw goes slack, but I know that I'm not really shocked. I mean who didn't see this coming. Deep inside I knew it was true, because Charlie doesn't have a drop of Quilett blood in him.
My voice is strangled when I'm able to talk
"Yeah."
'Wow Bella, smooth. Any other word could have come out, but it had to be that one?'
Charlie looks shocked,
"You knew? How?"
I shake my head vigorously
"No, I didn't know… for sure. I kind of guessed it though. I mean honestly you have ne Quilett in you. Renee doesn't either, so how would I change? Unless I wasn't your kid, I couldn't have."
"Well, you are related to us… Well Renee anyways. You see,"
He settles in his chair and sighed, prepared for a long story.
"Your real last name is Ulley."
The guys lean forward in their seats at that, all of them waiting for a story.
"Your parents were so happy together, imprints. Josh- Your father was the Alpha of the pack at the time. Ephraim had died a while ago and his son, Billy, couldn't take over, he didn't phase. Pretty soon all the pack stopped phasing; all but your father.
"When you were 6 and Sam-your brother-was 12, a vampire attacked your home. He killed you mother and bit your father. Luckily you guys were having a sleep over at the Blacks.
"The venom from the bite ended up killing your father a day later. Me and Renee were just married. Before Joshua…"
He chokes out the name and for the first time, I saw tears in my dad's eyes.
"died, he called us. Renee was his cousin. He handed you over to us for care, while Sam stayed behind and was raised by the Blacks. (AN: I know he really wasn't, but it helps my story.)
"We raised you like you were our own kid; I was devastated when Renee left me and brought you. Later on I was told that you were brought to a therapist and he ended up… brainwashing you in a way. You forgot all about your past, everything about the pack and your real family."
Charlie takes a deep breath and exhales loudly. I just sit there; in my seat, staring, face void of emotion. Pretty soon Jacob got worried; he waved a hand in front of my face
"Bells?"
I snap to attention. Charlie is looking at me, his face pained and sad.
'Charlie, showing emotion… this is new.'
Quil and Embry are looking uncomfortable and Jacob is concerned.
"What?"
I snap at them. I know it's not normal to get angry, I mean most girls would cry. But I'm not most girls.
They all seem shocked. I just glare
"If ya'll are looking for the waterworks then you can go. They aren't coming."
I pointedly glare at Quil and Embry. They stand and back off-hands raised in defense as they back out of the sliding glass door and into the woods. I start to shake but calm myself.
I look to Charlie-no. I look to Dad.
"Da-"
He cuts me off.
"You don't have to call me that. Not now that you know the truth."
"Dad, I understand that I'm not your biological daughter. And Dad, I honestly Do. Not. Care."
My voice is firm and strong, not once wavering. He was going to let me call him dad no matter what. Nothing was changing, as far as I was concerned he was my real dad.
"Bella… you have no idea how happy that makes me! You have been like a daughter to me for so long!"
He stands and hugs me. I squeeze him right back.
AN: Hey guys… soooo sorry that this chapter is short . I guess this one was mostly for the purposes of explaining Bella's past. Anyways, rate, review, follow, and fave!
