My people! You came back! Thank you for reading my story. Now I was thinking of making this more of Bella and her being a toddler, but then I had this whole thing come into my mind and now I know how the story is going to end. So Bella in this part of the story is going to be 12.
I know, huge leap, but I will make it up to you because this story will have a sequel to it. And maybe another story of Bella's adventures when she was a baby if you really want that.
And I really need to say something. My window is open, and there's this bee that keeps trying to get in, but all it does is keep ramming it's body into the screen, and now it looks angry at me, so I don't think it's going to stop... So, I hope you enjoy.
P.S. - I need to name the bee. Any suggestions? It can be a boy or girl. And I know that this may sound weird, but whatever name you like will be a part of this story for important notices in the future.
And this author not is way too long. So here's the story!

Chapter 6: Reveal
Bella's POV
"Emmett! Give me it!" I shouted at him as he kept my left shoe away from me. Finally I just gave up and sat down on the couch.
"Aw come on Bells. Giving up already?" He said, throwing the shoe at me. It whacked me in the arm. "Ow!" I said rubbing my arm.
"Belllllaa," He sang out. "Let's play a game." Emmett said as I placed the shoe on my foot. "No Emmett, I gotta go or else I will be late!"
"I'll just drive you there. It will be fun. Please!" Was he really jumping up and down? Yes, he was really doing that. That's just kinda awkward. I sighed.
"Okay. One game."
"Are we making a bet?" He said. I had no money on me, so I had to think of something good. The TV had a commercial for the Man vs. Food show. I smirked.
"If I win, we have to go to every place that he goes to," I said, pointing to the screen where he was talking about a 2 foot long hotdog. "AND, you have to challenge him to eat ANYTHING." I added.
He had a look of disgust on his face but nodded. "And If I win, then you have to ask the dude to go out with you, and ask to go on a long lost journey with him to get fat and to eat as much as he does. AND you have to eat whatever he does and challenge him. Do we have a deal?"
I thought about it for a second, but then thought of something that I -hopefully- could win. He held out his hand and I shook it, and then hit him on the shoulder. "What was that for?" He said as he rubbed the spot on his shoulder.
"To make it sound like I got hurt." I said with a grin. I lowered my voice so the rest of the family outside wouldn't hear us. "First person to get someone inside the house wins."
"Oh you know I'm going to win this Bella, right? They will probably think that I broke something again, then Rosalie will come and smack me, Alice will probably kick me, Esme will scold me, Carlisle would just shake his head, and Jasper and Edward would laugh."
"Yes, but did you forget that I'm a little girl?" I said. I could tell that he thought about it.
"Wait, Bella I want to change the bet-"
"Nope too late." I jumped off the couch.
He now had a determined look on his face. "Fine. One. Two. Three."
"EDWARD!"
"ROSALIE!"
"Bella what's wrong?" Edward said before I even finished his name. He lifted up my arm, inspecting it before I told him that nothing was wrong. He looked relieved.
"Emmett what do you want?" Rosalie said, looking very annoyed.
"I won." I said quietly.
"Yeah right, Rosalie was here way before Edward was."
"No she wasn't!"
"Yes she was!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Actually they both got here at the same time." Mom said walking into the room. We both stared at her. Edward and Rose still looked confused. "Bella and Emmett were having a bet to see who would get here faster."
"So both of you have to do it." She wasn't serious right!
"Mom, you can't really think-" But she held up her finger.
"No. You made this bet; you are going to do it." So I have to go up to the dude and ask him to eat with me and go on a long lost journey to get fat?
"But I can't! Daddy wouldn't let me." I tried using the dad card.
"Actually, daddy does agree with this." He said walking into the room. He looked back at mom. "What do I agree on?"
"Me getting married."
"Absolutely not!"
"See!" I said, pointing to dad and staring at mom. Mom rolled her eyes. "Jazz she's not getting married. She has to go find that that Man vs. Food guy and ask to go onto a long journey with him and get fat." She said the ending with a laugh.
"Yeah but I feel more bad for Emmett." Rosalie laughed. "Have a nice time vomiting every 20 minutes."
"So let the games begin."
"Alright. I'm walking to the library now." I said I grabbed my jacket and phone. Edward was already at the door holding it open for me. "Why would you walk if we have about 14 cars?" He chuckled as he closed the door.
"So we can walk. Duh." I said, grabbing onto his hand and pulling on it towards the road. He smiled. "That's a pretty long walk Bella."
"You're a vampire. You don't get tired. Me, yes I probably will." I said as I hopped onto his back.
He chuckled but then tensed at something. "What?" But then I saw it. My grip tightened on Edward as his did on my legs.
"Edward?"
"Tanya. Weird to see you here." He said as he continued to walk, the grip of his hands even tighter now, making my legs start to hurt.
"Actually, I was just on my way to your house," she said with a smile towards him. She looked up to see my and her smile died down. "Carlisle told me that I could stay for a couple months because the rest of the clan is going away."
"I wish you had gone with them," I muttered to low. But I guess Edward had heard me because he cracked a small smile.
"Well I'm sorry, but I have to get Bella to the library before it closes." Edward said politely. I scoffed.
"Okay, I'll see you around Eddie." She said. She actually had the nerve to kiss him on the cheek! I glared at her figure before she suddenly disappeared. He took his sleeve and whipped where her nasty lips attacked his face.
"She's staying with us. For MONTHS!" I groaned into Edward's neck. He sighed and nodded. Then he stopped. We were finally at the library. I hopped of his back, stumbling but catching myself.
He looked worriedly at me, and then pulled me into his arms. "Be safe," was the last words before his cold arms weren't around me anymore. I frowned a little but pushed the door open. Now I had to stay here for 2 hours.
"Bella," Ellie's mom, the owner, called from behind me. My head snapped around to see her balancing two heavy boxes of books. Quickly, I took one of the boxes, setting it down on the bench to the side of me.
"Thanks," she breathed out. "Ellie's waiting for you in the back room with the kids." She said, handing me a towel.
"What's this for?" I asked, holding up the towel. She chuckled and walked away muttering a "You'll see why..." I shook it off, walking into the back room to see Ellie playing with a little boy about the age of 4.
I walked in, laughing as they both argued about the latest "Hannah Montana" show, saying that Oliver should be with Miley instead of Lilly.
"I'm so agreeing with Nate, El." I giggled, sitting down next to them. She glared at me. "What? Oliver and Miley were meant to be."
"Yeah, sure they were." She muttered, standing up and whipping her hands on her pants. "So what's up?"
"I need help with the younger people. Help me?" She asked, not waiting for an answer and pulling me up towards her. Dragging me into the nursery room, I could see why her mother gave me the towel.
"Whoa. What are their parents feeding them!" I asked as the third kid spit up something green onto the towel. Ellie shrugged, frowning at the small child who spit out his mashed up carrots all over her.
"That's just wrong." She muttered. The door opened, revealing Ellie's mom. She smiled at us and laughed a little bit. "Tough huh?" We nodded at her. I placed the baby back into the small crib. "Bella, your sister's here to see you."
I sighed in relief; it was time to go already. I wonder who was picking me up. We had made the story that mom was my sister and dad was my brother, and we were all adopted. Edward and Emmett were Esme's nephews, and Rosalie was dad's sister.
I walked out to see mom standing there. She smiled when she saw me, but wrinkled her nose. "Hey mo- Alice." I almost slipped. I frowned. I hated calling her Alice. Her smile wavered but we had to keep up the act, since Ellie and her mom walked out to greet us.
They all exchanged smiles and greetings, then mom pulled me out the door. When we were outside and out of view of the library, I turned into mom's side. "Hi mommy." I whispered, hugging her to me. She chuckled, kissing the top of my head.
"Hi baby. You smell repulsive." She laughed, pulling me to the car. I rolled my eyes, strapping myself in. She drove like a maniac. Well at least it wasn't as bad as Rose driving. Don't even get me started on Edward's driving.
"Well that's not my fault. Those parents need to feed their kids nothing green. Or blue. I didn't even know what that was!" I said as I cringed back into the seat when we came to a stop.
"Why do you all like driving so fast?" I got out, my body going back into the seat as she took off. She laughed. "It's a rush. I guess since we run so fast it's something we can't control. We love going fast!"
"Yeah I know!" I squealed out as she came to a halt in the driveway. "What are they doing?" I gasped, seeing dad throw Emmett into the woods. Emmett charged back, his aim only on Edward now. Edward dodged, jumping over him and tackling dad to the ground.
Mom sighed. "There wrestling apparently."
"It looks painful..." I said, closing the car door and walking over towards them. Esme grabbed me and pulled me behind her before Emmett came crashing down where I was standing. "Oh yeah, thanks Em!"
"Sorry!" Then they all stopped and stared at me.
"What!" I panicked, looking all around me.
"Um..." Emmett's voice was weak. Edward walked over towards Emmett, muttering something to him. I was getting annoyed.
"Someone tell me! Dad," I halfway shouted. His eyes snapped to mine. "Well?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.
"Its nothing."
"Alright fine." I said, looking down. The only way to get the truth out was to start the water works. There was a gush of wind around me.
"Bella! Don't cry!"
"I hate it when she cries!"
"Dang Bella! Alright I'll tell you!" Emmett shouted. I looked up, my tears coming to a halt. They looked surprised.
"You smell repulsive." He said, scratching the back of his neck. I raised my eye brow. He screamed and dove behind Edward.
"Why are you hiding?" I laughed.
"Because it's wrong for a guy to say that a girl smells like... puke and apple sauce?" He said, still standing behind Edward.
"Okay. I'm going to go take a shower." I said, walking into the house.
"Come on Bella! I'm trying to stall you here!" Emmett shouted. I turned around. Edward and dad smacked him on the back of the head.
"Stalling me from wha-"
"I'm back!" Oh heck no. "Oh Bella! You're here! Thanks for letting me use your bedroom while I stay here. It was thoughtful of you." Tanya said, walking by me with 2 suitcases. I turned my head at her.
"Excuse me, my room!" I almost shouted at her. Why would she use my room if there were plenty of guest rooms here? That didn't make sense- it was the closest room to Edwards. No wonder why. But now, where was I going to sleep.
Mom started to butt in, but I shushed her. Tanya turned around, an amused expression on her face. She winked to someone behind me, no doubt Edward. A thought hit me then. I turned back to Tanya, smiling sweetly at her. I walked over to Edward, who was glaring at Tanya until I was close enough to him.
"Edward? Would it be alright if I slept in your bedroom for the time being with Tanya?" I asked sweetly. Tanya froze. Ha, didn't think of that one huh sister? No one is taking my best friend away from me.
"Oh course it's alright, Bella." He smiled, then grinning once Tanya walked back into the house. "But really, can I stay in there? I don't want to move into one of the guest bedrooms."
"Go right ahead. It will be nice to have company." Edward smiled. His stare caught onto moms, which looked like she was having a vision. I turned away, walking into the house to go and get this baby gunk off my body.
Finally after getting the gunk off, I went into my room and grabbed my belongings to put into Edward's room. Tanya tried to tell me that she shouldn't have taken my room from me like that, and said that she could stay with Edward, but I wasn't budging.
After finally telling that it was fine, I noticed what time it was. Eating a slice of pizza and brushing my teeth afterwards, I finally felt like it was time to go to bed. I grabbed my clothes from Edward's room and changed in his bathroom. I came out to see Edward sitting on the couch, Emmett sitting on the floor and Rosalie sitting on the bed reading a magazine.
"Ciao Vampiri," I blurted out. My eyes widened in shock.
"How do you know how to speak Italian?" Rosalie asked. She stared at Edward. He shook his head no.
"I'm sorry; I didn't know I was going to say that. It was like on instinct!" I blurted out. How did I know how to say that? It was like I turned into someone else for a moment. Emmett's head turned to Edward's and he muttered something to fast. All I got out of it was 'Princess', and I know that I didn't hear that right.
With his jaw set tight, Edward growled. I frowned at him and walked over to where he was, grabbing onto his arm and sitting down in his lap. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me away from Emmett.
My throat got dry then, but I didn't want to go downstairs alone. I know, I'm 12 and I don't want to go down the flight of steps into the dark, pitch black kitchen. I swallowed but winced at how it felt. They noticed.
"Bella?" Edward voice asked. I looked up at him. Emmett seemed to notice what the problem was.
"Are you afraid?" Emmett asked me, his face turning up into a smile.
"Heck yeah I'm afraid! I'm afraid that some vampires going to jump through the open window and bite me, all because I wanted a drink of water." I joked, but I knew that I was afraid to go down there myself. Edward frowned at what I said, but he shook it off.
"Isn't that a little weird?" Emmett said, turning his head and laughing. I fake laughed with then stopped, "No, it's not Emmett. Now, every time when I want a glass of water, you're going to come with me down the steps. No matter what you're doing."
"Even if Rosie and I are-" Before he could finish Edward whacked his shoulder, and Rosalie whacked the back of his head.
"Forget what he said Bella. He'll be with you, won't you Emmett?" Rosalie said his name angrily. He nodded, giving her a puppy dog pout.
"Good. So right now. Let's go." I said, pulling him up out of Edward's room and down the stairs into the kitchen. I glanced at the windows every now and then as I poured the water into the glass full of ice.
There was a loud sound, and I couldn't find Emmett. I panicked. Forgetting about the water, I tried getting up the steps, to suddenly see a figure coming through the window. I did what I could. I screamed.
Mom and dad were down there before my scream went on for a second. Edward came right after that, him and dad walking towards the window. Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie came down next, an angry expression on her face.
Edward threw the figure into the wall, telling him that that wasn't appropriate. Dad walked over, pulling me into his arms, shushing me. Who knew I was still screaming? Emmett's huge figure bent over laughing, but all I could see was his shadows.
I guess Esme noticed that, since she flicked the switch and the lights came back on. Emmett had fake blood coming down the side of his mouth, with fake bloody fangs. He was smiling, but all I could do was let the silent tears come.
When he saw his face changed, becoming sad. Yeah he should be. He walked over, crouching down a little bit to be at my height level. "Aw, I'm sorry princess, it won't happen again." He said, and then froze up. Everyone did.
"What?" I sniffled, turning around and looking up at dad. He looked at mom. She nodded at him, and he pasted me onto my mother. She brought me over to the couch and sat down. Everyone else followed.
"Bella, when you were younger, we learned a very important thing about you," she said, her voice soft. I looked up at her questionably. Something clicked in my head. Upstairs Emmett had muttered 'princess' and the three of them froze up. And now he says it again and everyone froze up.
This wasn't real. I was interpreting something wrong here. I shook my head. No way in this world would I be-
"Bella, you're a princess."
_
Should I end it here? Nah, I think I'll keep going a little bit more...
"No way. There's no way-"
"She's right Bella," Edward sighed, looking over at me. "It makes perfect sense. The two men that were hunting you down when you were younger. The sudden changes in mood, when you go from funny to graceful suddenly, taking control of situations. Speaking Italian upstairs. It's all making sense now."
"But I can't be a princess. I don't know how! And what about-" I started saying, but my eyes went to mom's. She sighed and had a small smile on her face.
"Yes, you're real mother is the Queen."
"No, you're my real mother. She left me. You saved my life." I said, pulling her into a tight hug. She held me against her for a couple of seconds, then let go. Rosalie came into the room with a computer, showing me a page from an advertisement.
There was a picture of me when I was a baby, in a white dress with a black background behind me. In the picture I looked happy, my eyes lighting up. There was a message at the bottom. "Princess Isabella from Italy now wanted. If you know where she is, please contact this number. 555-342-3430 (Fake Number!)
"There looking for me?" I whispered, my eyes meeting everyone's gaze. "I can't go with her," I said, closing the laptop and putting it next to me on the floor. Mom wrapped her arms around me.
"We won't let that happen. I see you here for a long time... Up until your 16." She muttered the last part. My eyes opened in panic. I would only be here for about 3 more years? I shook my head violently, sobbing into her shoulder. She stroked my hair, rubbing my back, telling me that she wouldn't let her take me away from her.
Finally all cried out, I fell asleep in her cold embrace. I knew that I was moved from mom's arms to Edward's arms as he carried up into his room, lying me down gently on the bed. I whimpered at the loss of his touch, but knew that he would be sitting right next to me in a couple of minutes.
And with that happy note I fell asleep, thinking of what my life would be like if my real mother hadn't have put me up for adoption.

So things come out in this chapter. All because of a glass of water. And sadly, that's me right now. It's dark right now downstairs, and I don't want to go down there to get a drink of water, but I'm really thirsty, so I'm taking you guys down there with me. Let's go.
Okay, so I'm in the kitchen now, trying to find a plastic cup. I dropped my plastic cup, making me jump from the sudden noise. Wait, what was that!
Ah stupid DJ! What's he doing up? He says he needs to "refill his apple juice cup". Yeah, nice way of scaring me. Thanks for staying with me tonight! And yes, I am drinking my water right now.
So good night to you all, and to all a goodnight! :o)
