Here we are again. I tried updating a bit quicker, and I received my three reviews. So in order for me not to lose all my readers lets get started.

Falling In The Black

Chapter 9: Just So You Know

Previously:

It wasn't until I was a mile away that I realized two things. One I needed a different viewpoint to Bella's story, with that realization I took a sharp left turn. I also realized that I had driven Lauren to the diner that only made me laugh.

"Mommy why did Prince Charming leave with the Wicked Witch?" I heard Alice whisper, barely audible, as she fought of sleep.

I looked at her confused, "What do you mean sweetheart?"

"Your Prince Charming left with the Wicked Witch, mommy you can't let her it will ruin the story. You're the Princess mommy, don't let her ruin your happily ever after." Her little rant stirred Jacob out of his sleep, considering she was on his lap. I could tell he was pretending to be asleep, but the smile on his face gave him away.

I put on the best smile for her searching my brain for the best way to explain this.

"Sweetie, I don't think mommy's happily ever after is possible anymore, her happily ever after left a long time ago." I hated ruining her Fairy Tale, but I didn't want to her crushed again.

She laughed, "Don't be silly mommy, just because your happily ever after isn't here doesn't mean it won't come, its in all the books so there is proof mommy, there is!" The look of determination on her face made me smile, and I could see Jake shake with silent laughter.

"Now we just need to find you a fairy godmother." She turned to face Jake and pulled on his hair until he opened his eyes. "Uncle Jake can you put an ad in the newspaper, it has to say Fairy Godmother Wanted!" Before Jake had time to respond Alice turned to face someone at the door.

A girl who could easily rival any ballerina, with a pixie like frame and hair to match had walked into my room and it seemed like not even a second passed since her arrival that Alice turned to Jake once again and said,

"Never mind Uncle Jake I found one."

I had been knocking on the door for about 10 minutes now, I wasn't sure if they were avoiding me or if they just weren't home. Either way I refused to leave until I found Nikki. I heard a lot of crashing pots and pans, the stereo was suddenly blasting, and before I knew it a tall lanky twenty-one year old kid was at the door. He looked me up and down, and didn't seem to like what he saw.

"NIKKI SHOULD I GET RID OF HIM!" He shouted into the house never taking his eyes off of me. After more crashing and shattering glass sounds a pregnant woman was standing next to him.

"Well let's see who he is first." She said to the boy motioning towards me to answer her question.

"I'm Edward Cullen I helped your sister to the hospital a couple days ago." I said searching for any recognition in her eyes. She smiled, and pushed her boyfriend out of the way to let me in.

I walked in and was greeted with eight pairs of eyes, none of them smiled at me but I could tell they all knew who I was. I was suddenly very nervous, but I didn't any time to process before I felt Nikki push me to kitchen. As we entered she offered me a seat at the table as she told the boy who had answered the door to get me something to eat.

"No please don't trouble yourselves I'm really not hungry, I came here to talk to you about something." I could see in Nikki's eyes that she wasn't in the most comfortable position, but she looked willing to comply.

"Evan can you go watch the kids, I think Mr. Cullen would prefer to speak to me privately." Evan didn't look to happy about the request but he left anyways.

"Ok I knew you'd be coming soon about my sister, I just didn't know it would be for this kind of reason." She said with a distant gaze and smile.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Well your obviously falling in love with her, but you know nothing about her so you've come to me for the story." She looked at me like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I don't think you've got the best grasp on the situation at hand."

She laughed, "Sais the man completely blind to this own feelings."

I couldn't respond.

"Look if you want the story about my sister I'd be happy to give it to you, but Just so you know, it isn't a story you can sit here and swallow with no difficulty. It's hard enough to tell much less to listen. There is something about you, that makes it worth telling, so sit back Mr. Cullen and keep your mouth shut because this story is definitely a long one." The determination and protective instinct in her eyes made me sit back in fear, I had never seen a more threatening pregnant woman.

I did as I was told, and the story began.

"I guess it all started in Bella's Freshman year of high school."

"What happened?" I asked, by the looks of it the interruption wasn't appreciated but she answered anyways.

"Our father, Charlie Swan, abandoned us in the middle of the night, he only left a note on the refrigerator, but Bella had woken up, and she saw the whole thing. From the phone call he received that pushed him out of bed to the moment he slammed the front door and left Bella crying in front of it."

This story was definitely going to be a difficult one to swallow.

We are finally getting to the good stuff. Three reviews guys and you might just get to hear Bella's story. Thank you to my beta Lizbre, to all my patient readers, and to Ria! Hopefully you guys enjoyed.
