AN: I know this was a long wait for this chapter. I had a terrible writer's block.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight characters, only Blake and Alex.

Chapter 4

EdwardPOV

After what seemed like forever, Emmett cleared his throat causing Bella and Blake broke apart. The look of discomfort on their face made it seem like they had forgotten that they were in room full of people. She blushed when she noticed he had kept his arm around her waist. I couldn't hold back a growl.

"So why did you lie to me… I mean us," Alice backtracked with a hurt look on her usually playful and devious face.

"You wouldn't understand my reasons, even if I told you," Bella told her but she couldn't look her in the eye, instead her gaze was directed toward the window.

"Tell us your reasons then," Rosalie butted in viciously.

"To tell you my reasons I would have to tell you my story."

"Then tell us," I snarled.

"Only if you promise not to judge or ask questions until I'm finished," she looked around at all of us, her eyes held nothing but determination.

Carlisle glanced around the room making sure everyone agreed before answering.

"We promise."

BellaPOV

I took a deep breath before beginning. "I was actually born to Lucas and Agatha Swan, but when I was two my father was killed in a war between witches and vampires, and my mother was murdered in front of my eyes when I was nine." Everyone but Blake and Alex gasped. I could feel the tears begin to pool in my eyes. It shouldn't bother me like this, the little voice in my head called my conscious scolded. It was a long time ago.

I looked back at Blake when he put his hand on my shoulder, his eyes searching mine. Are you sure you want to continue this? He sent me through our bond. I nodded my head.

"Charlie and Renee are my aunt and uncle. They saved me from having the same fate as my mother and took me to a house where I met Blake and Alex." I looked at both of them. "We've been inseparable ever since. Alex was saved from a fire when she was five by Blake's parents; they raised her as their own since then."

The look on many of the Cullens shouted curiosity.

"Remember you promised to let me finish," I told them.

"When we were thirteen, Blake and I were betrothed to each other. We decide to at least try to fall in love so it won't be as bad in the future, and after two years we did fall for each other. On his sixteenth birthday we decided to… well…have sex for the first time… and I got pregnant…."

"YOU GOT WHAT?" screamed Edward.
