Chapter 2

Alice's POV

"Alice!" I heard Esme call. I quickly made my way downstairs finding her in the kitchen.

"Yes mom?"

"I need you to go to the supermarket. Our groceries are out of validity. I need you to buy some more. You know… for the appearances." She explained.

"Sure. I'll take Jasper with me."

"Thank you honey" She replied smiling sweetly. Esme was the best mother you could ask for.

"Jasper!" I called leaving the kitchen. "We have to go to the supermarket."

"Okay I'm coming down Ali." I grabbed my leather jacket and went to my yellow Porsche. I had bought it two years ago and I absolutely loved it though I would appreciate it much more if Bella was here. Without her our family wasn't the same. It was incomplete; to think that we don't see her in almost five years… I have this strange feeling that I'm missing something very big in her life, but maybe it's just because I don't see her in so long. Usually, five years would be nothing in a vampire's existence but the last five years had been the most long our family had ever been through. "I'm here" Jasper said entering the car.

"Okay let's go." I said leaving the driveway.

The ride to the supermarket was calm and quiet. Jazz and I didn't need to be talking or making out all the time. We felt comfortable with silence and peace, just enjoying each others company.

"Let's do this so that we can go make some real shopping." I said smiling at Jasper.

"Sure honey." He replied.

Don't get me wrong, I love to shop but to go to the supermarket is not really shopping for me, especially because I won't eat anything. Of course shopping wasn't so fun anymore because I couldn't get things to Bella or do her a makeover.

No matter what I'm doing, it always reminds me of Bella. That was the reason that made me think I was wrong when right in front of me was a girl who smelled like Bella, it was just less potent. She had her back turned to me but she the way she moved was also very similar to Bella however she was very thin; thinner than Bella was. I decided to take a chance.

"Bella?" She froze. Yes! I couldn't believe it was Bella. She still had her back turned to me. "Is that you?" I pressed. God! I was so anxious. She turned around slowly, almost like if she was afraid.

"Hi" She said looking at us and waving her hand lightly.

"Oh Bella! I can't believe it's really you." I said running to her and hugging her. That's when I noticed: her skin was cold, hard and paler than usual. "You're a vampire." I breathed. That's why she smelled different. I should havenoticed as soon as she turned around. Her eyes were bright gold like ours. She was 'vegetarian'. I wouldn't expect less from her. She was gorgeous. Not that she was ugly when she was human, she was very beautiful, but now… Her beauty could even rivalize with Rosalie's.

"Yeah" she answered shrugging her shoulders. How could she dismiss this fact? Didn't she saw how important this was?

"Yeah? That's all you have to say about it? This was not supposed to happen." I looked at Jasper to see his reaction. As always he was very calm about this. How could he be so calm? Bella was supposed to stay human, get married, have kids and grow older. This was why we left. Because Edward wanted her to live a happy human life.

What had happened? Who turned her? Does she have someone else? What has she been doing? God! So many questions I wanted to know the answer.

"Hi Bella! It's great to see you again." Jasper said embracing her. He had missed her too and now that she was a vampire he could actually be close to her.

"You too Jasper." She said hugging him back. "How have you been?" She asked

"Fine. I missed you so much Bella" I said hugging her again. If I could I would be crying right now. I was so happy. I didn't want to let her go. I don't want to lose her again. She's my best friend. Eventually, I released her. "You?"

"Good." She spoke. Then I noticed her shopping cart. It was full of things for kids. I was sure she wasn't going to eat any of that. Then something occurred to me.

"Are you babysitting or something like that?"

"No." She answered nervously. Why was she so nervous? It was a very simple question. Was she hiding something? She was never very good at lying. "Why do you ask?" She was definitely hiding something. I looked at Jasper's and he seemed to agree with me. His face held a suspicious look.

"Well… you have your car filled with a lot of things for kids: jell-o, special milk for kids, cereals, cookies… not to mention all the draw material." I noted. She had more food than the one she needed to keep the appearances and a lot of stuff was things that only kids ate. She glanced at the cart as if making sure what I had said was true.

"Huh… I … Well…" She stuttered. Ha! I was right she was hiding something. I just had to figure out what it was. It was going to be hard. What could she possibly be hiding from us that was related to children?

All of a sudden she looked above my head and her expression changed. You could see she was even more nervous but she had a huge smile on her face and it seemed like she was glowing with happiness. I looked questioningly at Jasper and then we followed her gaze. Running towards us was a pale little boy with bronze hair and green eyes.

"Mommy! I got mines already." He said handing Bella some yogurts. WAIT! Did he call her MOMMY?

"Mommy?" I asked shocked. Maybe this was what she was hiding but she is a vampire. Vampires can't have kids. She was no longer paying attention to me. She only had eyes for the little boy in front of her.

"Don't run so fast Luke! Someone can see." She advised him "Where are your sisters hun?" she asked shuffling the little boy's hair. SISTERS? What the hell!

"They're still picking. Lizzie won't decide which flavor she wants." He looked a bit impatient but he was so cute. Then he noticed us and hid behind Bella's legs. "Mommy do you know these… people? Who are they?" The way he hesitated made me wonder if he knew that we were vampires. If so, how could he know?

"They're just some old friends of mommy hun. Don't worry they won't hurt you." She calmed him looking tenderly at him. The little boy looked so familiar to me. He looked just like… like… Edward! This boy was a miniature of Edward! What was going on? "Do you mind to go call your sisters? We're already running a little late. Tell them that if they don't hurry up you won't have time to play with Uncle Luke before dinner." She gently asked him. She waited until he disappeared before turning her attention to me and Jasper.

"Mommy?" I asked again. She had some explaining to do. In fact, she had a lot of explaining to do.

"Bella how can you have children?" Jasper questioned right after me "Vampires can't have kids!" I could hear confusion and shock in his voice "Are they yours or have you adopt them?" That's right! She could have adopted them.

"They're mine. And I haven't been a vampire since ever" What? How could she have had kids? Who's the father?

"Oh! Oh!" Edward! Edward could be their father. That would explain why the little boy looked so much like him. No. It couldn't be. Vampires can't have kids. "You have more than one? How many are they?" I asked remembering she had asked the little boy to go call his sisters. How can Edward be the father? She couldn't have more than one kid… Only if… "How old are they?"

"They're four-years-old triplets." She answered. They were triplets! That way Edward could be the father of the three but we still had the fact that vampires couldn't have kids. Edward couldn't be the father.

"Are they vampires?" Jasper asked curious.

"Half-vampires." She responded. Edward had to be the father!

"Mommy! Mommy!" With the boy came two tiny girls. One had brown curly hair and also brown eyes. She was like a little Bella, except that Bella's hair wasn't so curly. The other girl had also brown slightly waved hair, just like Bella's, but her eyes were deep green like her brother's. They were so beautiful.

"I'm sorry momma but I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted. Here." The green-eyed girl said handing Bella the yogurts she had chose. Her sister did the same and Bella placed the yogurts on the cart.

"Well, we have to go now." Bella said. Oh no! There is no way she's leaving without explaining this to me. The little girls were looking intently at Jasper and me. The one with the green eyes seemed a little frightened. "They're just some old friends of mommy." Bella tranquilized her, stroking her hair. They were the most beautiful children I had ever seen.

I was getting ready to restart my questioning but Bella's cell started ringing filling my ears with a beautiful and soothing song. She quickly picked it up from her purse.

"Hello." She answered without even looking at the ID.

"Bells? It's Luke." We were so close we could hear the entire conversation. Who was this Luke guy?

"Hey." Oh probably he's 'Uncle Luke' Bella talked about before

"I just wanted to tell that I finished hunting a minute ago. Are you done in the supermarket?" He was a vampire too. Was he Bella's boyfriend?

"Yeah… we're heading to the cash register" She said

"Are you okay? You sound strange. Is everything okay?" He asked. He sounded worried

"Well it happened something but I talk to you when I get home. Okay?"

"Sure. See ya."

"Bye Uncle Luke." The kids yelled.

"Bye." Bella said ending the call.

While she was putting her cell in the purse again the kids ran. She freaked a bit when she looked around and they weren't there but relaxed when noticed that they were a few meters away helping an old lady. They weren't just beautiful, they were also very kind. As soon as the old lady dropped some stuff they ran to help her. They picked everything from the floor and handed it back to the old lady. Bella made her way there and Jasper and I followed.

"Are you their sister? "The old lady asked Bella, smiling. Of course everyone would think of Bella as their sister instead of mother.

"No. I'm their mother."The old lady seemed shocked by Bella's answer but quickly recomposed herself and kept smiling.

"Well you've raised them very well. And so young… They're such angels." The lady complemented, looking at the three kids who were now standing in front of Bella.

"They are." Bella proudly agreed. I would be proud too, if I was the mother of those wonderful kids.

"Congratulations. You're doing a very good job. I never met such wonderful children."

"Thank you." Bella said. I bet she would be blushing if she could.

"We were just helping this lady mommy." The green-eyed girl explained.

"You did very good honey." Bella praised them.

"You always taught us that we should always help the people who needed." The little boy, Luke, said smiling.

"Here, these are for you" The old lady said giving each one a chocolate. "To thank you for your help. Be good to your mommy. She's very brave for taking care of you at such a young age, and she's also a very nice lady." The lady spoke, now looking at Bella.

"We will ma'am." They answered in unison. They are soooo cute.

"Okay lets go home Uncle Luke's waiting." Bella said after the old lady left for the cash register.

"Bella wait." I begged "You have to tell us what happened." I stepped closer to her and whispered "Who's their father Bella?" I needed to know I was almost sure Edward was the father but due to the detail that vampires can't have kids I couldn't be certain. I needed a confirmation.

"I really have to go Alice. Come on kids." She said moving the cart forward with the kids running happily in front of her, chasing each other. I was going to follow but Jasper stopped me placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't Alice!"

"Why not Jasper? We have to know what happened to her, who is the kids' father…

"Alice, this is hardly the place and the time to have such talk." He said looking lovingly at me.

"But Jazzy…" I pouted. We needed to know! I had to be sure those little angels were my nieces and nephew. All the clothes and toys I would be able to buy them…

"Alice lets just finish what we came here to do and go back home. Rose and Em should be there already and Carlisle must be arriving. We go back home and talk to them about this. Carlisle will have an explanation." He reasoned.

"You're right." Jasper was right. This wasn't the time and certainly not the place for this, besides we had to tell the others. Oh, Esme will be so happy! "I guess it's good Edward is not here yet." I thought aloud. Edward would freak out.

"Yes it's good." Jasper agreed "We should figure this out before telling Edward." He said.

"Ok lets get this over with and go back home." I chirped. I was so happy we had find Bella again.

I hope you liked it. Please let me know what you think! It only takes a minute and it would mean a lot to me. if there's anything you'd like to ask, do it. I would be more than glad to answer your questions. Review please. Bye
