Chapter 20
Alice's POV
As soon as Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett left Edward's room, the kids rushed in. Lizzie and Luke went to lie on the other side of the bed, hugging each other. Lilly knelt in the ground at his head. She placed her arms in the bed and put her head on them.
I don't know who we were more worried about. If Lizzie and Luke who were silently crying again or Lilly who still hadn't said anything since the accident.
Jasper had to leave the house. The kids' feelings were driving him insane.
"I don't know how such small children can handle so much pain." He commented leaving the house. He was going to hunt. I wanted to go with him but I felt bad for leaving the kids. And there was Bella. She would call every few hours to know if anything had changed. I felt horrible for not being able to give her the news she wanted. She was completely desperate. I couldn't even imagine how I would feel if it was Jasper.
It has been four hours since the kids entered Edward's room. They hadn't eaten or slept. They just stayed there next to him. They did not speak or sob. They just stared and let the tears stream down their faces. Except Lilly. Esme was very worried because she was even less responsive than the others. It was like she was lost in her own world. Before leaving, Jasper had said she felt guilty.
We tried to talk to her and say it was not her fault but she didn't even move. We didn't want to leave them alone in the bedroom so we took turns to stay there. While we were with them we tried to convince them to eat something but they never answered us. They didn't even acknowledge our presence in the room.
A few hours later, Esme and I persuaded Luke and Lizzie to go to the kitchen and have Lunch. Lilly remained in the room. In the exact same position she had been since she entered the bedroom.
Lilly's POV
It is all my fault. I did this to him. If I hadn't been so stupid, none of this would have happened. Lizzie was right. What if he... if he... Lizzie would never forgive me. I would never forgive myself. She would hate me forever. Everyone would hate me.
I felt so bad. I never wanted this to happen. I never wanted him to get hurt. The truth was that I loved him. I couldn't not love him. I tried but I couldn't. That's why I didn't get any closer to him. I didn't want to love him. I didn't because he could leave again and because I didn't want him to hurt mommy again, and I didn't want him to hurt Lizzie and Luke. Mommy is always so sad and I know it's because of him. And I thought he didn't deserve us. He didn't deserve to be our father. He had left mommy and us. He might not know about us but he didn't have the right to hurt mommy so badly.
I want my daddy. I do but... I just wished he had been there from the beginning. It was difficult not to have him with us. Everyone says bad things about mommy because he's not with her, and some kids make fun of us because we don't have a daddy. There are some mean kids who said that he had left because he didn't like us. And Lizzie would always cry when they said that. But I couldn't. I wanted to cry too but I couldn't because I had to be strong for Lizzie. And Luke wouldn't say anything but I know he was upset too and he would cry at night. We wouldn't tell anything to mommy because she would be upset and sad.
One day I talked to Uncle Luke about it. He told me that those kids were mean and that they were just jealous because we were so pretty and smart. I went and told Lizzie but it didn't matter because she would cry again the next time. When it was Daddy's day, we didn't have a daddy to take to the school. We would always take Uncle Luke. But we were ashamed and sad. And we were jealous when we saw everyone else calling their daddies and we didn't have anyone to call daddy. Because he wasn't there. He never taught us to fly a kite or told us a story, and he never sang for us to fall asleep. Uncle Luke did that, Uncle Demetri taught us how to fly a kite and grandpa Aro told us amazing stories about vampires. But none of them was our daddy.
That's why I wanted to hate him. Why I wanted to hurt him. I didn't want him to be important to me, because he didn't deserve. Since mommy told us he was our father I had been ignoring him. Keeping him away. I wanted to hate him for everything he had put us through. I told myself he wasn't important. I thought that after Uncle Luke had helped his friend we would go back at home and everything would be the same. A part of me wanted that, to keep him away from us but another part wanted things to be different, another part wanted him to be with us. Wanted us to be a family so that the other kids wouldn't make fun of us. So that everyone could see we had a daddy and that he cared about us. I suffocated the second part but in the last few days that part that wanted us to be together screamed louder.
Then Lizzie started to call him daddy. She was always with him and they both looked so happy. I got jealous. I wanted that too. But I couldn't get past all the pain he had caused us. I continued to convince myself that he wasn't important. I got angry when Lizzie took us to his room and told us he had left mommy because it was safer to her. I didn't believe. I didn't want to believe that because I couldn't forgive him. I didn't want to. I was mad because Lizzie had forgiven him. She had let him in. Then she said I was stubborn and spoiled. Lizzie had never been so mad at me. Not even when we got into a big fight and even used our powers against each other, when we were younger. I blamed him. It felt like he was taking Lizzie from me. Like he was stealing my sister. I wanted to hate him for that. I wanted to hurt him. So I told him that I hated him and walked away. It felt right to say those words because deep down I knew they weren't true.
Then it was Luke. He had always been a fan of sports and when he knew we were going to play baseball, he was ecstatic. I knew that he too would give in. I could see in his mind that Lizzie had been able to convince him. Uncle Emmet had built us our own bats. Luke was the first to try to hit the ball. He failed and after his second failed attempt our father offered to help him. Luke got it right that time. He was so happy that he caved in and called him dad. I was mad. He had taken Luke too. I was angry and jealous. I was jealous because I wanted to be happy as my siblings but... it was him! He came to speak to me but I turned my face. I wasn't going to let him in. I wanted to hate him. They started playing. Everybody was happy and having fun. Everybody except me. They looked like a real family. It should have always been like that. But I didn't fit. I didn't fit in this happy family picture.
I decided to go for a run. It was not like they would miss me. They were too wrapped up to even notice that I was gone. I would come back in a while and they wouldn't even know I had left. I found a small clearing and settled there. When I decided to come back I realized that I didn't know how to return to the big clearing. I had been too distracted and got lost. I sat in the middle of the clearing and cried. It was dark and I was scared. Maybe they wouldn't even notice I was missing. Maybe they would just go back home and leave me there. Lizzie and Luke were too happy about their daddy to even miss me. And I'm sure that to everyone else I was just a spoiled little brat. They could never understand why I did what I did. They didn't know anything. Maybe they would only come look for me when mommy called and asked for me. I knew that mommy would never forget me. I cried harder. What if something happened to me? What if someone took me and I would never see mommy again? But Lizzie and Luke remembered me. They ask me where I was and he came looking for me. When he found me and picked me up I couldn't help but to grip his shirt. I was so scared that I ignored the part of that said that he couldn't do that. That he had to stay away.
He said everybody was worried. Maybe they were. I knew that Lizzie and Luke had missed me and they had been scared because of me. Maybe they could still like me a bit. I think Lizzie wasn't mad at me anymore. I decided to try to bat some balls too, but I didn't want him to be the one who helped me. So Esme came to help me. She was very nice. She was the only one that I felt more comfortable with. She seemed to be good like mommy.
Then Aunt Alice saw that the bad vampire was coming. We were scared. Everybody looked worried so this was very bad. During the night we had a nightmare. The bad vampire was going to kill him and take us away. I didn't want to be taken from mommy. I was terrified. Lizzie and Luke were with him on Liz's bed but I couldn't go. I didn't want him to be my father. Then he looked at me and extended his arm. Before I could control myself I ran to him. I didn't know what was going on with me but I felt better with him. Then he took us to his room so that we could all sleep together.
When Grandpa Aro, Uncle Felix and Uncle Demetri arrived I felt happier. At least I wouldn't feel so alone anymore. They had always been there for us and for mommy. I could trust them.
Then they were discussing what they were going to do since the number of vampires that was coming was bigger. He told us that we were going to stay inside of the house and do nothing. But we had powers. We could just blow them up and everything would be over. We could help. I insisted trying to make him agree but it didn't matter. He told me that he was my father and that if he was saying I was going to stay inside, I would. He had no right to give me orders. He hadn't done it for five years and we had managed to stay alive. Though I had said that I hated him and that I wanted him to disappear that wasn't true. I didn't mean it. I just wanted to hurt him. Like he had hurt mommy. I could see the sadness in his eyes when I said those words and first I felt guilty but then I thought he deserved it for all the pain he caused mommy and us. Grandpa Aro told me that he was right and to apologize but I wasn't going to. Edward was the one who had to apologize. For all that he had done to us and everything we had gone through because of him. Then grandpa Aro told me to go to my room. He yelled to me. He had never yelled to me. I cried and even hid my thoughts from Lizzie and Luke.
It seemed like everyone hated me now. Everybody yelled at me and told me what to do. Why couldn't mommy come back? I didn't want to be here. I wanted mommy and Uncle Luke. I wanted to go back to my old life. The one we had before we meet him. Even with all the comments about our missing dad, it was better than this. It was better than being alone and yelled at.
Why couldn't I just be like Lizzie and Luke and forgive him? Why couldn't I forget what we had been through like Lizzie and Luke did? Why did I have to be different?
Then Lizzie changed some things in my idea and everyone thought she was amazing and smart and perfect. I was so jealous. I had never felt like this. I had never been jealous of my siblings before. Everybody treated us the same way. That idea had been mine and I could have made changes too. But they just had to say no. To them I was just a stubborn and silly girl. No one tried to understand how I felt about all this family thing. They just expected me to be like my siblings, but I wasn't. I was different and I wasn't sure why.
After we did our thing in the beginning of the fight Luke and I had stayed watching. Lizzie didn't want to. I noticed that there was still a lot of newborns and then I saw him going to meet, what I assumed was, the leader. She looked so dangerous. I felt the urge to go outside and do something to help him. That time I justified it to myself saying that I just didn't want Lizzie and Luke to suffer if something happened to him. But when I got outside she talked to me and I was too scared to move. Then he had to launch himself in front of us to save us and it happened.
Now he was lying here and we didn't know if he was going to be okay. Lizzie hated me and she would never forgive me. And I felt so confused and I was so angry with myself. This had all happened because of me. If I had been able to let go, to forget what he had done to us, then maybe this wouldn't have happened. If I hadn't been so idiot and stubborn none of this would have happened.
The last thing that I had told him was that I hated him and that I wanted him to disappear and if something happened to him I would never be able to tell him that wasn't true. That I loved him and that I needed him. Only now, that he was hurt, I had realized that he was important to me. That, even though he had put us through so much, I loved him.
I would not leave his side before he woke and I could tell him everything. Maybe he would understand and forgive me.
I was just trying to protect mommy and Lizzie and Luke. And myself.
Alice's POV
I joined Lizzie, Luke and Esme in the kitchen. I sat beside the kids while they ate.
"Where is Lilly?" Lizzie asked pretending not to be interested. I knew they were worried.
"She didn't come. She's still upstairs." I answered.
"Why?" Luke asked.
"You don't know?" I mean they could read her mind.
"No. She has been blocking us."
"Well I'm not sure either but Uncle Jasper told us she was feeling guilty."
"But won't she get sick?"
"Don't worry we'll make sure she doesn't get sick okay?" I really hoped Lillian would react soon.
"Okay." Luke said.
"What if you went to sleep for a bit?" I asked when they finished Lunch.
"No. We want to go back to daddy." Lizzie said. We let them. They returned to the bedroom and settled in the same position they were before having Lunch, laying on his side. We knew that they would eventually fall asleep. At least they started talking again. This eased some of our worry about them. But there was still Lillian. She still hadn't moved. How did she stand to be in the same position for so long? Wasn't she in pain? I walked to her.
"Lillian?" I called slightly shaking her. "Lillian you have to eat something." No response. "Doesn't it hurt to be on your knees for so long?" Nothing. She didn't even look at me. Esme tried to but the response was almost the same. Almost because she actually looked at Esme, only to start staring at Edward again, after.
About six pm Lizzie and Luke fell asleep. Rosalie and I moved them to their beds so that they would be more comfortable. I knew they would sleep long since it had been an exhausting day for them. When we returned to Edward's bedroom, we noticed that Lilly was also asleep, still in the same position. I didn't even know how that was possible. I tried to move her to take her to her room but I couldn't. One of her hand was on Edward's but the other was gripping the bed's sheets. And she wouldn't let go. Rosalie tried too but the result was the same. We gave up.
Carlisle got home an hour later and went to check on Edward. Bella had called a few minutes later saying that she was about to board her flight. Esme and I were in Edward's room waiting for Carlisle's assessment on his condition. I noticed that the wounds didn't look as bad as before.
"So Carlisle, how's he doing?" Esme asked anxiously.
"He's doing great. The venom is doing its job. I think he'll wake up in the next few hours. I knew that he would pull through." He said contently.
"He has more than enough reasons to do so." Esme said stroking Lillian's hair. "Carlisle, dear can you take a look at Lillian too. I'm so worried about her. She hasn't eaten anything yet and she's in this position since she entered the room."
"Sure darling." Carlisle answered. "I can't do much since she's asleep. But from what I've seen, she seems to be fine for now. Let's allow her to sleep a bit, even if it's in that position. Though when she wakes up it's very important that she eats something. Maybe Edward can convince her if he is already awake by then."
"Okay. I've already tried to move her but she doesn't let me." Carlisle looked at me questioningly. I tried to pick her up to show him what I was talking about. As I expected she squeezed Edward's hand harder and gripped the sheet.
"Looks like we won't get her out of here soon." He sighed. He and Esme left the room to tell the others the news. I stayed. I wanted to be here when Edward woke. I picked a pillow and placed it under Lilly's knees. At least she was more comfortable.
I sat in the piano bench and stared at Lillian and Edward. From time to time she would squeeze his hand, like if she was comforting him or giving him strength. She was very pretty. Like a mini copy of Bella. Her beautiful brown hair was spread in the mattress next to Edward's arm. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. We hadn't really interacted with her in the past few days. She was quiet whenever she wasn't playing with her siblings. When Lizzie and Edward got closer whenever she wasn't with Luke she was sitting somewhere, lost in her own world. The truth was that she didn't let us get too close.
A few hours passed and I was getting a bit tired of staying in Edward's room. Neither he nor Lillian had woken up. I was about to leave the room when a small moan came from the bed. I looked at Lillian, thinking that her body was finally resenting all the hours she had spent in the same position, but she was still deep asleep. Then I looked at Edward, small wrinkles appeared on his face as he tried to move. I ran to the bed.
"Edward? Edward?" I got groan as answer. Thanks god he was waking up. Slowly he opened his eyes.
"Alice?" He asked.
"Yes. About time you woke. Everybody was worried." He tried to sit in the bed. "Calm down. You have to be careful. I'll call Carlisle." I went to the door and called Carlisle saying that Edward had woken up. Two seconds later Carlisle was entering the room with Esme right behind him.
"How's that going son?" He asked visibly relieved.
"Fine I guess. Can somebody help me to sit in the bed? It looks like I don't have strength."
"That's normal son. I'll send Emmet and Jasper to get some animal blood for you." Carlisle said while helping him to sit. As soon as the words were out of Carlisle's mouth I heard Jasper and Emmet leaving the house. "Take it slow Edward. I'll be downstairs if you need anything."
"I'm so glad you woke Edward." Esme said dry sobbing and hugging him carefully. "Everybody was so worried."
"I'm fine mom. Relax."
"Okay. I'm going to cook something for Lilly. Maybe she'll eat now." She sighed and left the room.
"Lilly? How are they? And Bella? Did you tell her?" He asked suddenly.
"Calm down Edward. Of course I told Bella. She's desperate. At least when she calls again I can give her good news." I was so relieved.
"Why can't you call her?"
"Because she is already on her way here. Maybe her plane will do a stopover and she can call."
"What about the kids?"
"Lizzie and Luke are better but she's not." I said pointing to a sleeping Lilly. "We are worried about her." He looked down, only now noticing Lilly's presence.
"Lilly?" He whispered staring at her. "Where are the others?"
"In their room sleeping."
"Why isn't she there too?"
"I'll start from the beginning. After you were attacked the fight was over quickly. Carlisle went to see you and with Jasper and Emmet's help brought you inside of the house while the Volturi took care of the remains and me, Rosalie and Esme were with the kids. Lizzie and Luke were freaked out and Lilly was frozen. She didn't move. She feels guilty and Lizzie didn't exactly help. They waited outside of the room and as soon as Carlisle left they came inside. They refused to eat and sleep. Lizzie and Luke lay with you in the bed and Lilly has been in this position since she came in. A while ago we convinced Lizzie and Luke to eat but Lilly stayed here. After they finished they came back but fell asleep and we moved them to their room. We couldn't move Lilly though." He gave me the same look Carlisle had so I tried to move her. She did exactly the same thing as the other times. He looked at me surprised.
"What do you mean with 'Lizzie didn't exactly help'?
"Before Carlisle, Jasper and Emmet brought you inside, Lizzie went to Lillian, pushed her and told her that it was her fault, that if Lillian hadn't gone outside you wouldn't have gotten hurt, that she hated her, she said that Lillian had took you away from her and that if something happened to you she would never forgive her. It wasn't pretty. But Lillian didn't react at all. She just stared. She hasn't spoke or sob since we got to them. Sometimes she silently cries but that's all. We are very worried."
"How long was I out?"
"Almost a day."
"What? And you are telling me that she hasn't eaten or move during all that time?" He asked concerned.
"We tried but she wouldn't even look at us." He started stroking her hair.
"What exactly did Victoria did to me? And what happened to her?"
"She almost ripped your arm out and she opened three huge gashes on your chest. From your right shoulder, almost to your left leg. Jasper took care of her." I explained. He turned his attention to Lilly.
"She looks so much like Bella." He sighed. Then she started to move, waking up. She looked around until her eyes fell on Edward.
Edward's POV
I felt the darkness slowly fading away. I tried to move but there was a strange feeling in my chest and my shoulder. It hurt a bit. I moaned trying to move. I couldn't find the strength to move.
"Edward? Edward?" a familiar voice asked. I slowly opened my eyes recognizing Alice's face.
"Alice?" She said something about me waking up and calling Carlisle. Seconds later Carlisle appeared with Esme right behind him. I talked a bit with Carlisle and he helped me to sit. Then it was Esme's turn, I could say she was relieved. She left saying that she had to cook for Lilly
I was a bit confused. I wasn't sure I remembered what had happened. Suddenly everything came rushing to me. It was like a movie. I immediately asked for the kids and Bella.
I knew that Bella would freak out and I couldn't even imagine how the kids were. Alice told me what had happened after I blacked out and what Victoria had done to me. I could certainly feel it. Surprisingly it didn't hurt that much. Now, I was worried about Lilly.
"She looks so much like Bella." I sighed. I kept stroking her hair and she started to move. She looked around disorientated until her eyes fell on me. She immediately started sobbing and crying, getting up and hugging me.
"I'm sorry... so sorry daddy ... I ... I... sorry... I didn't.... I didn't mean it... I didn't want... you... hurt... my fault... sorry daddy ... I..." She spoke while sobbing. I was... well, surprised is an understatement. She called me daddy. I was sure. But she was so nervous. I remembered that Alice had said she felt guilty. I would have to speak to her.
"Ssshh. It's okay now." I let her cry and sob. Alice had told me she hadn't spoke or sob yet so I thought it would be good for her to let everything out. I have to admit that I was shocked when Alice told me what Lizzie had done. I never thought she could do something like that. They must have been desperate. I noticed that Alice had left the room. I got to the other side of the bed and helped Lilly to climb up.
She curled against me and kept sobbing and crying, occasionally mumbling words like sorry and daddy. I was happy that she called me daddy but it broke my heart to see her like this. I could say she was consumed by guilt and that wasn't good for her. If she didn't stop sobbing soon I would have to make her stop to talk to her. She needed to eat and sleep.
Finally she calmed down. She looked at me and sighed.
"I'm sorry daddy. I'm sorry I disobeyed you and went outside. I'm sorry I froze and didn't attack. I'm sorry you got hurt because of me and I'm sorry I told you that I hated you. I didn't mean it. I don't. I... I... I love you and I'm sorry. I know it's my fault... I never wanted you to get hurt. I'm sorry..." She started crying again.
"Listen to me Lillian. This is not your fault. It's Victoria's fault. You shouldn't have come outside but it was Victoria who did this." I pointed to my chest that was still covered with bandages.
"But if I hadn't gone outside..." She sobbed.
"It could have happened the same way. Victoria could have tried to get into the house and I would have done the same thing to stop her. Or we could have fought and it could have been worse. We can't know. Maybe the fact that you came outside may have helped. Have you thought that it could have been worse if I had actually fought with her? There is no way to know. But I don't blame you. This is not your fault! Do you hear me?" She was looking intently at me.
"But Lizzie said..."
"It doesn't matter what Lizzie said. Lizzie was nervous. This is not your fault!"
"But she hates me and..."
"She doesn't hate you. She was just upset and confused. This is not your fault Lillian! Okay?" I meant every word I had said. I wasn't just trying to make her feel better. I truly didn't blame her. This was all Victoria's fault.
She slowly nodded. In that moment Esme came in with a plate full of food and a bottle with a red liquid. Blood. She handed me the bottle and I drank it quickly, handing it back to her.
"I've made some food to you Lillian. You have to eat." She said.
"I don't want to. I'm not hungry." She mumbled.
"Give it to me, Esme." I took the plate and set it in my lap while Esme left. I looked Lilly in the eyes. "Alice told me you still haven't eaten anything. You have to eat." She sighed and nodded grabbing the fork and taking small bites.
All of a sudden the door opened and Alice appeared holding my cell.
"Bella's going to call." She said. I sighed. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. Two minutes later the cell rang. Alice answered immediately.
"Hey Bella."
"Alice. Is there any news? How's Edward?" She sounded tired and worried.
"He's fine. He woke up a few minutes ago actually." Alice said with enthusiasm.
"Thank god." I could hear the relief in her voice. "Can you put him on the phone please?" She asked.
"Sure, just tell me something. Do you know why I couldn't see if Edward was going to be okay?"
"Yeah. It probably has something to do with the kids. Ask Aro. He'll explain better than me."
"Okay. Thanks." I took the phone from Alice.
"Love?"
"What the hell Edward? Do you have any idea of how scared I was? Don't you ever do this to me again!" She yelled.
"Sorry love. I had to protect them."
"I know Edward but you should have taken someone with you to fight against Victoria, not go alone. It was irresponsible." She scolded. I had to admit that she was right. Maybe things would have been different if I had called someone to help me.
"I'm sorry love. Everything is fine, now. I'm fine."
"What about the kids?"
"They are better. Lizzie and Luke are asleep."
"And Lillian?"
"She's here, eating."
"I wanted to talk to her but the plane is leaving. Tell her that I love her. I love you."
"Love you too." I replied. I placed the cell in my pocket. "It was mommy. She wants you to know she loves you." She nodded and finished her food.
A few minutes later she looked at me and opened her mouth but closed it right after.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" I asked.
"No. I want my mommy! When is she coming back?"
"She's on her way. Why don't you sleep a bit while she doesn't come?" I started humming the lullaby I had composed for the kids. She fell asleep immediately. I called Alice and she took her to the kids' bedroom. We would need to talk but right now she needed to sleep.
Carlisle came to my room and removed the bandages, saying that I didn't need them anymore. The wounds were already closed. Now I just had to drink a lot of blood to get back my strength. Alice and Esme brought me more bottles filled with blood. I already felt stronger.
I was anxious for Bella to come back. We would finally be able to have our happy ending. About seven in the morning Lizzie and Luke wake up and came straight to my room.
"Daddy! You're okay!" Lizzie said coming to lie in the bed with me and hugging me. Luke did the same. They were so happy.
"I promised I would never leave you again." I said hugging them back.
"Oh daddy. I'm so happy you are okay!" Lizzie squealed.
"Is Lilly okay daddy? Did she get sick?" Luke asked worried.
"Your sister is fine. She ate before she went to bed. Now let's allow her to sleep a bit because she needs it." He sighed relieved. "Lizzie, I want to talk to you. Aunty Alice told me what you did to Lilly. It was not Lilly's fault." I said seriously.
"But is she hadn't gone outside..."
"I could have gotten hurt anyway. Victoria did this to me. It's not Lilly's fault. Victoria was very dangerous and I shouldn't have fought with her without having anyone to help me. Maybe it could have been worse if Lilly hadn't come outside. We don't know. I already told this to your sister and I'm telling it to you. This was not Lilly's fault and you've made her feel very bad. Now she thinks that you hate her. You'll need to apologize when she wakes up. Do you understand?"
"Yes. I was just upset. I don't hate her, I just..."
"I understand, but Lilly suffered a lot with this. She thought it was her fault."
"When she wakes up I'll apologize."
"Good. Now your mother is going to arrive soon. Let's go downstairs to wait for her?"
"Yeah!"
I had a quick shower and changed clothes before heading downstairs. When I got to the living room with the kids, Aro was about to explain why Alice couldn't see if I was going to be okay.
"Edward. It's good to see you are better."
"Thanks Aro. I'm feeling a lot better." I still hadn't gotten used to see Aro so friendly. "But please keep talking I would like to hear your explanation too."
"Let's make a small experience. Alice try to see Emmet's future." Emmet was sitting beside me and the kids.
"I can't." She stated a few minutes after.
"Good. Emmet go to the yard please." Emmet complied. "Try to see his future now Alice."
"I did it. Though I prefer I wouldn't have seen what I saw." She said with a disgusted face." I knew what she meant. She had saw Emmet and Rosalie... 'spending some time together'. Everybody laughed.
Then I heard the sound of a car. Bella. I bolted to the door followed by Lizzie and Luke and got out. Everyone followed. The car parked and the passenger's door opened revealing my Bella. I had missed her so much. As soon as her eyes fell on me she ran to me. When our bodies collided she launched her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, hugging me close. I hugged her back.
"Thank god you are okay!" She breathed to my ear. "Don't do this to me again."
"I promise love. I love you." Then she kissed me. Our lips moved in sync. I really had missed her. I could barely believe I was holding her again.
"Uncle Emmet take your hand off my eyes!" I heard Lizzie and Luke say angrily. Bella smiled against my lips and let her legs slid down, putting her feet on the ground. She removed her arms from my neck.
"Emmet keep your hand on their eyes for a little longer." Bella asked.
"Why mommy?" Then she slapped me. She just slapped me.
"What was that for?" I asked still shocked.
"That was for scaring the living shit out of me!" She said in a low voice so that the kids wouldn't hear. I heard everyone laughing.
"I didn't know you swore." I whispered in her ear.
"I don't but I decide to open an exception." She said. Then she grabbed my hand and went to say hello to everyone.
"Mommy!" The kids said hugging her legs.
"Hey sweeties!" She said getting on her knees and hugging them. Luke was already greeting everyone else. "I missed you so much!"
"We missed you too." She got up as they went to talk to Luke.
"Where's Lillian?" She asked me worried.
"She's asleep. " I answered pulling her to my arms again and burying my face in her hair. Ahh! How much I had missed her.
"Mommy?" A voice full of sleep asked from the doorway. Lillian.
"Lilly." She ran to Bella, who was already on her knees. As soon as her arms were around Bella's neck she started sobbing and crying hysterically.
"I missed... you so... so... much... mommy. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
"Lilly. what's wrong honey?" Bella asked concern filling her voice. Now I was worried too. Lilly just kept crying and screaming. I didn't even know how she kept breathing. Then she suffocated in her cry. Her mouth was open like if she was screaming but no sound was coming out of her mouth and she wasn't breathing. Bella was truly scared. "Lillian!" She screamed shaking her and slapping her back. Finally Lillian let out the cry she had been choking. "Don't suffocate the cry, Lillian!" Bella told her sternly. "It's okay baby, don't cry." Bella spoke again now calmly and slowly patting her back.
"Take her inside Bella. And don't let her suffocate the cry again." Luke told her. Bella nodded and headed inside.
"What was that?" I asked him.
"Lillian does that when she's very nervous. It's like the cry gets stuck in her throat. Bella's gets really scared but you just have to hit her in the back and she gets better. Though it can be dangerous."
"Why?" Emmet asked confused
"Because they stop breathing Emmett." Esme explained.
"Will she get better?" Rosalie asked.
"As soon as Bella talks to her I'm sure she will calm down." Luke answered.
"Good." I was just glad she hadn't done that when I was alone with her. I don't know if I would be able to react the way Bella did.
"Let's go inside now." Carlisle said. We went to the living room.
A few minutes later Bella came down and sat in my lap.
"So?" Luke asked.
"She calm down and fell asleep. But I'll have to talk to her tomorrow. I have no idea why she was so freaked out."
"Mommy, are you and daddy together again?" Lizzie asked.
"Yes honey." Bella answered.
"Then we will all be a family?" Luke questioned.
"Yes, we will. A very happy family." I said putting my arms around Bella's waist. I had everything I ever wanted and more. There was no one more blessed than me.
So what did you think? I have a cousin that does this suffocating the cry thing. It's actually a bit scary. REVIEW and let me know your opinion. I still don't know if I will make one or two more chapters before the epilogue. Don't forget to REVIEW. I'm sorry if there some mistakes but I'm very sleepy so probably there are some I didn't notice.
My next story. It's set after Eclipse

So what do you think? Is it a good idea? I know it may sound like an overly used plot but I promise it will be different. I'm not very good with summaries but... I do what I can. Please help me find a title for this story so that I can start publishing it when I finish Consequences. And tell me what you think of my it. HUgs
