(((I will never own this!)))
School has been uneventful, except I got loads of questions about my ring. Apparently, getting married in high school is a very uncommon thing here.
"Uh, hey," A brunet comes up to me and says.
"Hi…"
"Why do you have a ring on your ring finger?"
"I'm getting married…"
"Aren't you too young?"
"No."
"But you're a sophomore!"
"So? That doesn't matter, what does matter is love," I got a little mad, I have been getting this all day.
"How do you know if you're really in love?"
I softened a bit, "If it's true love, then you know. You just know," then, as if called, Edward came up behind me.
"Emmett's is looking for you, Love."
"I'm not forgiving him this time."
"Who's Emmett? What did he do? And who are you?"
"Emmett is my brother. He was being careless around our son. I'm Edward."
"Oh, so you two are getting married?"
"Yeah," I smiled, looking at Edward.
'Bella?'
'Yes, Edward?'
'She's abused.'
'WHAT???'
'Her father is a drunk and blames her for her mother's death.'
'We have to do something!'
'Do what, tip of the cops? All that will do is either worsen her treatment or get her in an orphanage.'
'I don't know, we just have to do something, anything!'
'What could we do?'
'Befriend her!' Alice, since when is Alice apart of our mental conversation?
'Alice?'
'Bella, that was just my gift.'
'Oh, yeah! Hey, How about she comes to eat lunch with us?'
'Sounds good.'
"What's your name?" I ask, realizing I don't know.
"Angel Mc Steen, what's yours?"
"Bella Masen."
"Edward Cullen."
"Do you want to sit with us at lunch?"
"Sure!"
"Great, Johnny will be there."
"Johnny?"
"Our son," I smiled at Edward.
"Who's bringing him?"
"My mom."
"Oh…"
"Edward! Bella!" Alice yelled from across the courtyard. She then ran towards us.
"Hey, Alice," we said.
"Are you two still planning on getting a horse after school?"
"That was the plan, why?"
"Can I borrow my nephew?"
"Is Emmett going to be anywhere around him?"
"No."
"Okay. Oh yeah, Angel, this is Alice. Alice, this is Angel. Alice is Edward's sister."
"Hi," Angel said.
"Hello, Angel," Alice went up to her and kissed her checks. Which made her blush.
"Angel is going to eat lunch with us today," I said, "Esme is bringing Johnny boy, again."
"Okay, I'll go tell Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett," Alice skipped off to go find them.
"I know who Emmett is, but who are Rosalie and Jasper?"
"Rosalie and Jasper are our siblings, too."
"How did your mom have so many kids in such a short time? Are you all twins?"
"No, we are all adopted," said Edward.
"Esme and Carlisle aren't old enough to have teenage children."
"Oh, that's nice of them."
"Yeah, that's exactly what I said when I found out."
The bell rang and we scurried off to class. The day flew till lunch, were we meet up with angel in the courtyard.
"Hey!" I said.
"Hey," she replied, she seemed kind of sad.
"What's wrong?" she looked up, surprise shown in her eyes.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you care what's wrong with me? No one use at this school does, neither does anyone at my house!" she broke down and started sobbing. I step forward and hugged her too me.
"Shh, it's okay. Everything will be fine," I coo into her hair. I look at Edward for some help. He comes over and hugs us both, humming my lullaby. I start humming it with him. She calmed down.
"Thanks," she sniffled.
"No problem," I smile in her hair, as Edward smiled in mine.
"What song is that?" Edward and I were still humming my lullaby.
"It's Bella's lullaby, I wrote it for her shortly after we met," I smiled at the memory.
"It's beautiful, just like you," she said the last part to me.
"She wont believe you, no matter how many times you tell her that, she will never believe she's beautiful."
"I'm not!" I protest, braking up our hug, "You say something is wrong with MY eye sight, I think you two need to have your eye sight checked!"
"It's two against one, Bella. You loose," Edward commented, I pouted and he gave me a kiss.
"Fine," I huff after the kiss, "Stupid, irresistible, wonderful kisses," I mutter, making them laugh again.
"Come on, love, Johnny Boy will be here soon," that instantly cheered me up. A big smile made it's way onto my face.
"Angel, you HAVE to see him! He is adorable!" I grab one of her hands and one of Edward's and ran to the cafeteria. When we got there, Esme was sitting at our table with my boy, and I ran a bit fast, but not too fast.
"Bella, where have you been?"
"Arguing with Edward and my new friend, Angel," I gestured to Angel, "Angel, this is Esme and Johnny Boy," I let go of both of their hands and held them out to Esme, who promptly put Johnny in them, "Thank you, did he eat lately?"
"Nope, waiting on you," she smiled at me and gave me a bottle; I smiled back at her.
"So, Angel, what do you think of our angel?" I asked.
"He's beautiful," she said in awe. I sat down and Angel followed my example, but there was no more room for Edward, seeing as Alice was on my other side. I stood up again, letting Edward have the seat. He sat down and I sat down in his lap. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist, to keep me from falling off. Angel noticed that we were sharing a seat and blushed, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to steal your seat!"
"It's okay," Edward assured her, I turned to look at him and smiled. He smiled back and rested his head on my shoulder, watching as I feed our son.
"Thanks so cute!" Alice gushed at us, as soon as angel scooted closer to us to watch as I feed Johnny. She was on the opposite side of me then Edward's head and was kind of… clutching us as if we were her parent and she was just a little girl. Angel Blushed again and almost moved, but I smiled at her reassuringly, and she stayed there.
After lunch, we all went to our next class, it turns out that Angel is in Edward's and my class, so we all sit together.
"What are you doing sitting with the new kids?" the snotty little girl that asked Edward out the other day asked, as if we weren't sitting right there.
"She is sitting with us because we want her to and she wants to," I interrupt her, "Now, if you are done, leave," I flutter my hands in the go-away-now gesture, that's when she noticed my ring.
"Where did you get that ring?"
"My fiancée."
"Your getting married? Does you fiancée know that you're dating?" she smiled smugly, as if she's so smart, moving to sit on Edward's desk, she reached out to try and stroke his hair, but it grabs her wrist before he can touch her.
"Edward IS my fiancée, you nitwit," I say, her smirk falls along with her jaw.
"He didn't get a very big diamond in that ring," she stated as if the size of the diamond has something to do with love.
"Because she doesn't like things that are to flashy, I could have gotten her one with a bigger diamond and other stones, but she wouldn't wear it," Edward said, scooting a bit closer to me. I smiled at him.
"Well… well," she huffed and turned away.
"A lot of thought went into that ring, didn't it?" Angel asked.
"Tons. I wanted something that screamed Bella," I kissed his nose and the teacher came in.
A few minutes after the teacher started class, a note landed in my lap, I looked at Angel and she blushed, I'm guessing it's from her. Edward looked over at me and read it over my shoulder.
Bella, would you and Edward mind giving me a ride home? It's okay if you don't want to.
Of course we will. If you don't have to go strait home, we can all three go get a horse.
Edward stole the paper from me.
It's pouring rain, if you were planning on walking home, your not anymore. Even if I have to tie you up and put you in the trunk.
I took it back from him when he was done and gave it back to Angel.
Thanks, I really didn't want to walk, but my father won't come to pick me up.
Don't worry about it!
So, are you coming with us to get a horse? We can get you one too!
Oh, I don't want to impose! And you don't have to do that!
Come on; let him spend his money on you seeing as I wont let him buy me anything!
Please?
I guess… but where would I put a horse?
Where we are going to put ours! In a stable!
That Alice just bought…ALICE BOUGHT IT!!!
Why did she do that?
Yes, she did. Privacy.
The bell rang then, startling us all.
"Meet us at the stupid shinny Volvo after school," I told Angel
"Stupid?" she asked.
"Oh, after I meet Edward, he was being weird, so I called him a stupid shinny Volvo owner," I said, laughing. Edward pouted.
"You didn't tell me that!!!!" he whined.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I just remembered that I did," I laughed again and kissed his nose. His nose is fun to kiss.
"What color is the Volvo?"
"Silver."
"Okay, well we should get to class now," I stop her when she ties to leave, she looks a little scared, but I just hug her. Edward hugs her, too, and then we let her go.
"Bye, see you soon!" I call as she walks away.
"Bye!" she says over her shoulder.
--------
We are waiting by the Volvo for our new friend. She's a little late, and I am getting worried.
"Edward?"
"Yes, Love?" Edward is leaning against the Volvo and has his arms wrapped around my waist, nuzzling my neck.
"Where is she?"
"I don't know."
"Can you check?"
"Okay, love."
I dive into Edward's mind so I know what he knows. Not again! They can't really want to do that again! That jerk and his friends are cornering her and she's too tiered to run anymore.
"Come on Edward," I grab his hand and run full speed towards her.
It doesn't take long to find them using her mind as guidance. "Please don't," I hear her whimper. I growl loudly and they turn around to see me, Edward is hiding to sneak over to Angel and check over her. They smirk and start to circle me instead, that's just what I wanted. There are only four of them so this should be no problem.
"Oh, honey, we're going to have a good time with you!" one said. Edward got to Angel and is soothing her.
"Yeah, and then a pig will fly in with a talking gerbil on his back," I laugh, then kick the one that spoke where it hurts, he bends over in pain and the over three move in on me, "oh no, I'm so scared."
"You should be!" another one says.
"You're not going to be a problem soon," a different one says, they are standing side by side and they both pull a knife.
"Oh my, you've got a knife in school! Whatever shall I do? Oh! I know!" I slam their head's together and they fall to the ground, but they're not dead.
"You're going to pay now!" the last one says.
"Really now?" I say and step closer to him and he steps back.
"Ye-yeah!" he stutters. I walk closer to him and he is backed up against the wall.
"I better not see you or any of your friends disrespect a female ever again, got it?"
"Yes," he squeaks.
"Good, now run," he runs as fast as he can out the door and I go too Edward and Angel, "Is she okay?"
"She's just scared, like you should have been after that day you almost got…" he trailed off, not wanting to scare Angel more. I take her into my arms and Edward starts humming my lullaby while stoking her hair. I rock her back and forth and rub circles in her back.
"Momma?" she says.
"Shh, sweetie, Shh. everything is going to be alright," I sooth. Does she think of me as her mom already?
"Momma, I'm so scared," she whimpers.
"It's okay, sweetie, it's okay. We all get scared sometimes," I start humming my lullaby with Edward and she calms down more. "I think that lullaby is magical," I whisper to Edward.
"You never know, Love, you never know," we stand up, with Angel still in my arms, and we start walking to the car.
We decide that we are still going to go to the horse place. I sit in the back, laying Angel down so that her head is in my lap. When we got there, I gently woke her up, "Angel, honey, wake up," I whisper in her ear. She stretches and yawns, then opens her eyes.
"Bella?"
"Yes, sweetie?"
"Did I call you momma?"
"Yeah," I smile my motherly smile.
"I'm sorry," she blushed.
"It's okay. I like that you did."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Would you mind if I call you Momma all the time?"
"No, of course not," I smile again, now I have two kids.
'Edward?'
'Yes, love?'
'Can we tell her?'
'I think we should, but when we get home.'
"Do you want to spend the night with us?" I ask.
"Can I?"
"Yes"
"Then yes, thank you."
"Now, lets go get a horse," I say, and slid out of the car, Angel following.
