Edward POV
As soon as the sound of her car was out of my hearing, I turned and ran into the forest. I needed to clear my head and right now the only way I could think of doing that would be hunting. I ran about 18 miles north before I stopped and listened. I could smell a herd of deer about a mile west of here by some creek, but deer was my least favorite, and I waited to catch the scent of something else. I took a deep breath in and felt my eyes turn a deep black. Mountain Lion. I ran back about 3 miles south before I saw it. It was a big one. It was going around in circles, growling into the bushes. It must have sensed me. I smiled, and then pounced. Only a minute later I was feeling its warm blood slide down my throat, heating my entire body. I immediately felt stronger, but less human. As I was drinking its blood the animal was squirming and letting out cries. I didn't even try to stop it as it tore my clothes to shreds. When I was sure each drop of its blood was gone, I stood up, completely satisfied. I then ran the rest of the way back to the house.
As I was walking up the front steps, I glanced down at myself. My shirt was completely torn away, there was no way it could be fixed. My pants, however, weren't bad at all. My right pant leg had a split torn into it, but that was it. I reached my hand out to open the front door, but before I could it was opened for me. Alice was standing there, her face blank.
"Edward! I'm so sorry! I don't know why I didn't see it."
"Alice, don't worry. No harm no foul." I said as I pushed my way around her into the house. Esme and Carlisle were sitting on the couch. Jasper was in one of the chairs, and Rosalie and Emmett were no where to be found. I sighed, knowing what my family was waiting for, and sat down in the other chair, putting my head in my hands. "Where are Rose and Emmett?"
"They went out looking for you. Alice couldn't see if you were going to come back or not." Carlisle answered me.
"I don't know why I am having all these holes in my vision! It's driving me crazy!" Alice said as she sat on Jasper's lap. I looked up to see her eyes going in and out of focus. She was trying to see past her blind spots, but just couldn't.
"I'll call Rose, tell them they should get back here. Why don't you go change Edward." Esme said as she stood and walked over to the phone. I stood as well and walked upstairs. I went into my closet and got on sweatpants and a t-shirt. I hopped into an unnecessary shower just to see if it could help me relax. I stood there in the hot water for about 10 minutes before I got out and changed. Nothing was working. I walked back downstairs, seeing Rosalie and Emmett but taking no notice of them, and sat back down in the same chair, not saying a word.
"Edward, what happened? Alice won't tell us anything." Carlisle finally spoke.
"She's her mom." Was all I said.
"Who is whose mom?" Esme asked. I just shook my head.
"Just spit it out!" Rose said impatiently.
"Gabriella. Her mom is…" I couldn't bring myself to say her name. I was foolish in letting her go, and I regretted it every day of my soul less life.
"Edward just tell us." Emmett begged.
"Gabriella's mom is… Bella."
Gabriella POV
As soon as I knew my car was out of sight, I pulled over to the side of the road, and let it all out. This was my first date with a guy since Ashley had set me up with her cousin in 8th Grade. It was with a group to the movies, and I didn't even call that a date, so technically this was my first date ever and I blew it. As soon as I was all cried out, I drove the rest of the way home. As entered my house, I saw my parents sitting there on the couch watching TV.
"Hey honey, how was your night?" my mom asked me. I sat down and sighed. I had to tell them. It felt wrong lying.
"Um, I didn't go out with Ashley and Julie." I said.
"Then what did you do?" My dad asked, leaning forward.
"Um, well, I had a date with Edward Cullen."
"YOU WHAT?!?!?!" My dad stood then, anger taking over his face. My mom's face however was expressionless.
"Dad, don't make me say it again. I'm Sorry, but if it makes you feel better, I blew it, so I don't really think we will go out again." I sighed looking down at my hands. I thought I couldn't cry anymore, but I was already holding back tears.
"Well, yes that does make me feel better, but I thought I forbade you to even look at him!"
"Yeah Dad, you did, but I couldn't. I liked him a lot." I said, and then added under my breath "I still do."
"Gabriella!" My dad sighed. He heard me. He started yelling at me, but I wasn't really listening.
"Jacob." My mom spoke, interrupting my dad. He and I both froze because her tone was so… dead. She then addressed me "Gabriella, what happened?"
"Well, everything was going good. We went out to dinner and everything was okay. It was when we were driving back. He accidentally called me Bella, which is odd because that is your name, and I told him that. After I said that was your name he just tensed up and everything was awkward." I said, telling my story. My parents didn't say anything for awhile, but my mom finally spoke again.
"Your clothes?"
"Um, well yeah, he has these too sisters and they kind of helped me get ready." I said, as my mom looked me up and down.
"I should have known. That outfit has Alice written all over it." She smiled, as a tear slid down her cheek.
"Yeah. Um, how'd you know his sister's name?" my mom ignored my question, and just looked over at my dad.
"I think we should tell her. Everything." My mom said.
"Tell me what?" I asked, again being ignored.
"Filthy bloodsucker." My dad said as he sat down and started telling me the most unbelievable, but true, tale.
Edward POV
'So you mean- Bella is a mom?' Jasper asked in his mind.
"Yeah. I guess she is Jazz." I said.
"Then why are you so upset about her having a happy life? Isn't this what you intended?" Jasper asked out loud this time. I sighed.
"Yes. It is what I wanted for her. To live a normal life. I think I'm just hurt because even though I wanted it, I never actually expected her to move on."
"Or, maybe it is because you fell in love with her daughter, and you don't know what to do about that." Esme said. I looked at her and tried to hide the fact that she was partly right.
"No, I uh, I don't love her!" I said. Why was I such a good liar to everyone but my family?
"Edward, I think you might." Carlisle said. I held his gaze for a moment, and then I leaned back in the chair and forced myself to stare at the ceiling, nothing else.
"Even if you like this chick that happens to be Bella's daughter, that is beside the point." Emmett said. I gave him a dirty look, and then he continued. "You wanted Bella to go on. Now she is apparently married and you are whining like a little baby. You wanted it to happen and now it did. Aren't you lucky?"
"Emmett, you don't understand completely," I started before I was interrupted.
"Why are you so mad about her being married and happy?" he said.
"Because, Emmett, she married Jacob Black." I spat out the name.
"That dog?" Rose asked.
"That's the one." I answered.
"Okay then… never mind." Emmett said. Just at that second, Alice gasped. She was having a vision. I listened in.
"Victoria?" Bella asked. She was answered by a laugh, as a woman with fiery red hair approached her.
"So you do remember!" the woman said in a high voice. "20 years I've waited for this moment. The moment I am going to kill the thing that matters most to little Edward Cullen. This is the moment am going to kill you."
"Well, that would be a waste seeing as to he doesn't love me anymore." Bella said. "We both moved on."
"Well then. If he moved on from you, he must love someone else even more. Tell me who that person is and I will spare you your life." As she heard this, Bella looked down, but not quickly enough for Victoria to see the tears in her eyes.
"I, I can't." Bella choked out.
"Fine, your choice. I will find out though, so technically, as you think you are doing a little heroic action, you are dying for no reason." Victoria said, as she leaned in closer. "I think I should warn you, this might hurt a little." With a smile, Victoria opened her mouth, ready to bite into Bella's neck, but before she got the chance, someone burst through the door to the small house.
"Oh, Edward! What a pleasant surprise!" Victoria said as she stood from her spot on the ground. She walked towards me before saying more. "Do you want to watch as I kill your little lover girl?" She turned, but Bella was gone.
"What little lover girl?" I asked with a smile.
"Bella! Where is she!"
"You mean my wife?" A rougher voice asked. Victoria turned to see Jacob Black standing there.
"Your wife? But I thought-"
"Bella told the truth. We both moved on." I stated. "And you will never live to see who I now love." Victoria turned back towards me, her eyes turning black. She tried to dart around me, but Jacob was already in wolf form, clawing her to pieces.
"Goodbye Victoria." I said, as I flicked a match down onto her twitching pieces.
