After hugging my daughter once last time, I head for my car. Slipping into the seat I let my head fall back and try to figure what the hell is going on.
Why the hell has my daughter been so sick these past couple of weeks, and more importantly why is she suddenly perfectly fine, better than fine really because I don't think I have ever seen her looking better.
Jake had said she was like the Cullen's now, and he wasn't kidding. Bella now had the same pale skin they had, not that she was overly tan before, but now it's a whole new level of pale, she also seems to have the same perfection going on that the Cullen's have, her skin no longer has one blemish or scar.
Then there is her eyes, they were still brown but it was off, they weren't as dark and they had sort of a red tinge to them.
That child that Edward had claimed was his niece had Bella's exact eyes though, and she was a whole other issue that I wasn't sure how to address. Edward suddenly having a niece is bizarre enough, but her having Bella's eyes, Edward's hair, and some of Edward's features, was just too much. I was pretty certain that she had something to do with Bella being sick, but even that didn't add up because she didn't look like a newborn, and Bella hadn't even been gone long enough to go through an entire pregnancy.
I sat up and rubbed my temples as the image of Jacob turning into a giant dog suddenly entered my mind. How could a boy I had known for his entire life do such a thing and I had no idea. Billy and I were in need of a serious chat.
I shook my head to clear the image of Jacob the dog away, and went back to Bella. Bella had assured me that she didn't turn into an animal, but she had turned into something new that much was clear.
I started the cruiser and started drive while trying to think about what I knew about the Cullen's. They had always seemed nice and polite, a bit strange sure, but they never caused trouble so I never really worried about them. Now I was plenty worried, worried about them and what they done to my daughter. On one hand I was pissed because I knew whatever they were, was part of the cause of Bella's mysterious illness, on the other hand I was grateful because they had saved my baby girl.
I spent the rest of the drive coming up with theories about the Cullen's could be. At first I was thinking maybe they were plastic surgery nuts and Bella jumped on the band wagon, that would explain their perfection, but I quickly dismissed that because Bella wouldn't be into anything like that. Then I thought, because they are so pale, and their skin, when I shake their hands, is so cold, that maybe they were undead like zombies. That didn't fit either because they are way too attractive and articulate to be Zombies, not to mention they don't seem to have a taste for brains. Actually come to think of it, I didn't think they had a taste for anything, because I couldn't recall seeing a single one of them ever eat anything.
By the time I got home I was thinking angels but I couldn't seem to make that fit either. As I got out of the car I decided to drop it because for some reason it seemed important to Bella that I don't know everything. I trusted my daughter so I knew if she said it was best I didn't know, she was probably right and I would respect that.
What mattered most was that my daughter was healthy and happy.
I pulled my boots off and head for the kitchen, because after the day I had just had I really needed a beer.
AN: Ok people I am so sorry it has taken so long to get this up. My beta is in the process of moving and that has understandably been taking up all of her time. I decided that rather than making you guys wait any longer I would post this as is, so please excuse any mistakes as this has not been looked over by my beta.
Please review and leave any prompts you would like to see. Thanks :)
