Where Are You Now

Chapter 8 – See You Again

(BPOV)

"Isabella, wake up," a velvety voice said.

I opened my eyes and all I saw was green.

"Hey, are you alright? You passed out," he asked with concern.

I rubbed my eyes, and I realized that the green that I am seeing are Edward's eyes. His face is so near to mine. I felt myself blush deeply.

I was lying on the couch, and he was holding a piece of cotton with ammonia, and he was kneeling in front of me.

I sat instinctively and I nodded. He handed me a glass of water, I took it, slowly drank it, and I gave it back to him. He placed the glass on the center table and he sat on the other couch across me.

"E…Emerald, she's your daughter?" I stuttered as I asked.

"Yes," he answered.

Is it just a coincidence that the name of her daughter is also Emerald? If it is Emerald my daughter, it means that he and Camilla are the ones who adopted her. But I have to make sure first. I have to see Emerald in person.

"I think she's adorable," I commented.

"She is," he agreed.

"I'll just call my fiancé and pack my things. Can you just wait here? You can watch tv if you want."

"Okay."

I scanned the room first. Jasper in not around.

"Um, where's Jasper?" I asked.

"He took care of the plane tickets," he answered firmly as he opens the television.

I went to my room, and I grabbed a travelling bag from my closet. I packed clothes that I think will last for a week. I placed inside my vanity kit, and I zipped it. I grabbed my clutch and I placed the necklace and my wallet inside. I applied face powder on my face and some lip gloss on my dry lips. I change my clothes from tank top and shorts to a white printed shirt and skinny jeans. I slipped on my black flats and I'm done.

Before leaving my room, I called Gab. I don't know his schedule today; I wish he's not on a meeting.

After three rings, he answered the phone.

"Hey Bells," he said.

"Hi, uh…I just called because I think I'll be gone for a few days."

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm just visiting my friends in New York," I lied.

"Oh, will you invite them to our wedding?"

"Maybe."

I heard a girl on the background, telling him something about a meeting.

"Bells, I need to go now. I have a meeting in five minutes. I'll miss you. Take care."

"I'll miss you too, love you."

"Love you too."

Then I hung up the phone.

I went out of my room and I went back to the living room where Edward was. The tv is open, but I can see that he is not really watching what's on the tv. He is watching me.

"See something interesting?" I asked bluntly.

He shrugged and his eyes went to the tv.

"We're going to meet Jasper at the airport. Are you ready?" He asked.

"Yeah, let's go?"

…

The flight will last for almost five hours and Edward and I sat beside each other. We are not talking. What are we going to talk about anyway?

I didn't know that it would be this awkward when I see him again. I admit that after the thing that have happened to us, I wished that could see him again. Who would not like to see someone like him again? He is unbelievably handsome. His face is so beautiful that sometimes it hurts to look at him.

I know that I should feel bad about the thing that has happened to us. He has a wife, and because of me he somehow cheated on her, and his wife was my best friend. But shamefully, I'm not. I feel like it's just fair. It's like my little revenge from all the things that she has done to me. I trusted her so much and she betrayed me. I hope that she's alive now so that she can feel how it feels to be betrayed by the person that you trust the most. I know it's so mean, but that's what I really feel right now. And if ever the Emerald that I will see in New York is my daughter, I will hate her more. Not only had she stolen my family, but also my daughter. Why does she love to take the things that make me happy?

I wonder what Emerald looks like today. All I have are memories of her as a baby. Did she look more like me, or more like Edward? I can imagine her dazzling green eyes, her bouncy chocolate brown hair, and her face. She does look beautiful just like his father. I can imagine her running happily, playing on the play ground with other kids, and squealing with that cute voice of hers. I miss her so much.

"Why are you crying? Are you okay?" Edward asked worriedly.

I was about to wipe the tears on my eyes, but Edward wiped it with his handkerchief.

"Thank you."My voice broke.

He gave me small smile, and he took away his handkerchief.

The whole plane ride was filled with awkward silence.

When the plane landed, my heart started beating erratically, it's so fast and I think it's fighting its way out. My palm started to feel cold and it's sweating. I AM FREAKING NERVOUS.

When we were out of the airport, I felt worse.

What are they going to think of me? Will they hate me? Will they hug me when they see me? Will I hug them? What are they going to say to me? What am I going to say to them?

I didn't even know how I got inside this Mercedes. I looked at the window, and I can see the familiar city lights of New York. I actually miss the feel of the city…the city that never sleeps.

The car stopped because of the traffic light. Suddenly, I saw two persons that I never thought I'll be seeing again. It was Rose and her boyfriend Emmett. Looks like they are still together and they still live here. They are walking on the side of the street. Emmett was carrying few shopping bags, and Rose was carrying a baby. She has a baby already. I've missed so much in her life. Maybe they're married already. Based on the looks on their faces, they are happy. I'm happy too...for them.

The car moved again and I watched as Rose's and Emmett's figures disappear. And I sighed.

After, I think twenty minutes the car finally stopped in front of a white house. The house is not that big, but on the look from the outside, it really looks like a family is living inside. It has a weird atmosphere.

I didn't notice that Edward went out to open the door of the car. Oh, so he's a gentleman.

I gave him a thankful smile, and I went out.

Jasper didn't come out anymore. He said his farewell to us, and he drove away.

"Edward, I'm nervous," I admitted.

"Don't be, it's going to be fine. I promise that after this day, you are going to be with your parents," he assured.

I nodded and we walked to the doorway.

He pressed the button for the doorbell.

Everything is like in slow motion, but it still happened so fast. Odd.

A woman with strawberry blonde hair opened the door. He greeted me and Edward.

Is she…my mother?

We walked inside. She said that she'll just call her husband, Charlie.

When Edward and I are settled in his living room, I immediately went to ask him.

"Is she my—"

"Yes," he answered knowingly.

"Oh my god."

I smiled, and tears are threatening to fall.

Well, the tears really fell when I saw Charlie…my father. I look like him. I think so. We have the same color of eyes and hair. His hair is also curly like mine. I can see that I got his nose and the shape of my lips from my mother. They really are my parents.

Edward asked them to sit with us. When they were already seated, he handed them a letter and asked them to read it.

After a few minutes, my mother was crying already. My father wrapped his arms around her, and she continued to cry on his chest. My father whispered soothing words to her, and soon she faced me.

"Are you Isabella?" My mother asked.

More tears fell from my eyes as I nodded.

My sight became blurry, and I didn't realize that she has enveloped me in a hug. I hugged her back tightly, and I cried on her shoulder. Soon, my father joined us.

This is the kind of moment that needs no talk. Their presence and actions are enough to express what they wanted to say. No explanations needed, just them.

So this is how it feels to have a father and a mother? It's like my personality is complete already. It's like going back to the place where you came from…where you're born.

"Nana, daddy already here?" A little voice disrupted us. I'm pretty sure that it is Emerald.

Mom gently pulled away from me, with a big blissful smile plastered on her beautiful face.

From where I was seated, I can't see Emerald, but mom called her and asked her to come here.

Slowly, I can see a little girl walk to us.

As I have imagined earlier, her green eyes were shining and her curly hair is bouncing as she walks. She has a wonderful smile on her face, and she has dimples too.

When she saw Edward she ran to him and she hugged him. Edward kissed her forehead and he whispered something to her.

She kissed Mom and Dad on the cheek, and then she went in front of me.

"It's nice to meet you Miss Isabella," she said in her very cute voice.

She offered me her hand, as if she wanted us to be friends.

But instead of taking her hand, I pulled her into a hug.

She is Emerald.

She is my Emerald.

This should be longer, but I really have to go...I promise that Bella and Emerald will have a talk on the next chap.

Review if you want Bella to reveal the truth to Edward ;)

Sorry for the errors.

Thanks for reading.
