Previously in Chapter 3
"He has no reason to be angry with you Bella. Now lets go inside. Everyone is waiting." He then took my arm and dragged me inside. I walked to the living room to find everyone sitting and staring at me. Carlisle looked at me with that same shocked look on his face. Ok, I thought, lets get this show on the road.
I stood quietly for a minute trying to think of how I should begin this. I just looked around the room with everyone's eyes on me. This wasn't going to make it easier. I took one deep breath and then spoke.
"Carlisle", I began, "I think I should talk to you alone, if you don't mind." He sat there for a moment still looking at me and finally said his first words to me.
"Bella, that sounds like a good idea to me. We can talk in my office. Excuse us everyone." He got up and led me to the stairs. I looked back to Benjamin scared out of mind. He looked at me and smiled, nodding for me to go ahead. I turned back around and walked up the stairs following Carlisle to his office. I walked in and closed the door behind me. Carlisle then sat behind his desk and motioned for me to sit down. I walked over to the big armchair in front of his desk and sat down. I looked up at Carlisle, terrified. I really didn't know how I was going to start this.
"Well Bella", he began, "Benjamin informed me that this visit wasn't just a friendly hunting excursion. He told me you had something you needed to explain to me. So please begin."
"Um", I said looking down at my hands, "I really have no idea where to start." I looked up at him.
"Why don't you start from the beginning", he said smiling.
"Ok." I took a deep breath and then began. "Well Carlisle, I am not a full vampire. I am actually half-human, and half vampire. Were very rare. Have you heard of our kind?" I didn't want to explain myself if he already knew about us.
"Yes Bella. I know what your kind is. A very rare bread indeed. Please continue."
"Alright. Well I was born just a little over 200 years ago in London, England. Another half-human, half-vampire found me in a pile of blood next to my mother's body. She heard my cries from inside my mother's house when she was hunting. Her name is Sarah. Do you remember her? She told me she has met you before. A very long time ago."
"Why yes of course I remember Sarah. She is the very first of your kind. Well, as far as we know of."
"Yes. She found me and took me into her care and raised me. She named me after her mother who well…you know the story." He nodded. "Sarah and I have stuck together ever since. That is until the other day." I took another deep breath and continued. "I started searching for…my father years ago. I even asked the Volturi for input. Benjamin came to my door a couple nights ago telling me he knew who my father was. That he overheard the Volturi talking about my search when he came to visit them a couple of weeks ago. He heard my mother's name and automatically had an idea of who my father was-"
"Your mother", Carlisle interrupted, "Her name? What was her name Bella?" I looked up at him, scared. I then looked back down at my hands. I wasn't sure how he was going to react.
"Her n-n-name", I stuttered, "her name was…Amelia. Amelia Anderson." I slowly picked my head up to look at Carlisle's face. Shock was written all over it. I waited for him to say something but he didn't. He just sat there with his jaw open staring at me. So I continued.
"Benjamin told me that you were with her for a short while. That you had a relationship with her. He told me that she told you to leave her the night after you made love to her. When you told her what you were. So…I am here today because both Benjamin and I have come to the conclusion that you are my father." I finally finished my story. Carlisle finally broke his gaze from me and got up walking towards a table in the corner of the room. He opened a drawer searching for something. He finally pulled something out and walked towards the big empty armchair that was next to me and sat down. I looked to see what he got out. He was holding what appeared to be a picture in his hands. He sat there, staring at it.
"Amelia", he whispered. It was a picture of Amelia. The look on his face made me burst into tears alone. He stared at the picture for a few moments more and then looked back up at me. He then handed me the picture. I've never seen an actual picture of my mother before. The only picture I had of her was in my head and that was the night I was born. And it wasn't a pretty site either. I looked down at the picture. It was old. The corners were shredded a little. Cameras were not invented yet, so it was a small portrait. But it was her. My mother. Her face was looking right into my eyes and I began to cry even harder. Carlisle pulled his chair closer towards me.
"She was such an amazing women Bella. She truly was. I loved her with everything I had. I swear to God Bella you look just like her. You have her smile, her nose. Everything. Even your expressions are exactly like hers." He said looking at me, rubbing my back.
"Carlisle I-", I couldn't even speak right I was crying so hard.
"Bella, listen. I wish I knew. I would have been there for you right in the beginning. But I didn't, and I will spend the rest of time trying to make it up to you."
"But it isn't yo-"
"Please listen. I know it's not my fault, but I feel awful that you have spent your entire life not knowing who I am. I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere and I would love nothing more then for you to stay here with me." I looked up at him, wiping my tears away. He was smiling.
"You…you won't mind me living here?"
"Bella, you are my daughter. My actual flesh and blood. I wont be taking no for an answer", he said laughing. I managed to escape a laugh through my crying as well.
"Carlisle I-"
"Please Bella", he cut me off, "Don't be afraid to call me dad."
"Ok." I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Dad…I honestly can't believe this is happening. I mean I only found out about you a couple days ago, and now I'm sitting here next to you. I just can't believe I finally found you." I hugged him, letting my tears take over me again. I could hear Carlisle dry sobbing as well. We both pulled away, but he was still holding me arms length, looking at me.
"I think we should go downstairs and tell the others", he said with the biggest smile on his face.
"I think that sounds like a good idea", I said wiping my tears. Then it hit me. Esme. His wife. What was she going to think of all this. "Wait Carl- Dad, your wife! What do you think her reaction is going to be to this?"
"Esme? Esme is going to be thrilled to meet you Bella. Trust me." He smiled and then opened his office door and led me out. We walked downstairs, to find everyone still in the living room. I looked to find Edward staring at me with a huge smile on his face. I forgot he could read minds. He probably heard the entire conversation through Carlisle's head. I walked towards Edward.
"Did you tell them already?" I asked, whispering to Edward. He chuckled.
"No, I didn't say anything. The others tried to force it out of me, what the two of you were chatting about. But I told them it would be better for you to tell them", he finished still smiling at me.
"Thank you Edward." I then turned to look at everyone. My dad was standing next to his wife smiling at me.
"Alright spill", Emmett said sitting on the edge of his chair.
"Alright. Well as you all know my name is Bella. I was born 200 years ago in London, England. My mother died while giving birth to me. Half-human, half-vampire births are very…complicated. I'd rather not go into detail about it right now. Anyway, another half-human, half-vampire found me crying in my mother's house while hunting. She took me into her care and she has been with me ever since. I started searching for my father years ago because I wanted to meet him. I told the Volturi about it was well. Benjamin was in Volterra a couple of weeks ago and over heard them talking about my search and heard my mother's name. Benjamin knew of my mother because Carlisle was with her a very long time ago." I looked at my dad. I wasn't sure if he wanted me to tell what happened between the two of them or if he wanted to tell it himself. "Carlisle, do you want to tell what happened or should I?"
"No Bella, I'll explain it. You see", my Dad began, "I was with a women a very, very long time ago. Way before Esme was even born. I wasn't with just any women, I was with a human. Esme please don't be offended. With what I'm about to say", he said looking at her worried.
"Carlisle don't be silly. It was a long time ago, please continue", Esme said smiling up at him. He smiled back and then continued.
"Her name was Amelia. She was one of my patients. We were together for…I think only about two months. I loved her very much. It took me a very long time to work up to it but I did. I decided I could handle making love to her." He stopped to look down at Esme, who was still smiling. She nodded for him to go on and he continued. "I then decided if I was going to be with this women, I needed to tell her my secret. I needed to tell her I was a vampire. The day after we made love, I told her everything. She hated me. She was scared of me. She yelled and yelled at me to get out. She started taking anything she could get a hold of and thew it at me. I tried very hard to explain that I would never hurt her, but she refused to listen. She screamed at me and told me I needed to leave and get as far away from her as possible and never come back to her. She didn't care what the cause was. So I did just that. I left and Benjamin came with me. I was heart broken. That was the first and only time I have ever truly hated being a vampire." He looked back to his wife who was still smiling up at my father. He smiled back at her and hugged her deeply. He pulled back and looked at everyone. "It was a very long time ago. After Amelia, I never thought I would love another women as much as I loved her, but I was wrong. I found a women that I love even more", he said pulling Esme to his chest. He then looked back at me. "Go ahead Bella, please continue."
"Ok", I began, "a couple of days ago, Benjamin came to my door and told me he knew who my father was. He said that it was Carlisle. He told me how Amelia and Carlisle were together and it just made sense." I heard gasps from everyone in the room. I looked back over to Edward who still had that huge smile on his face. It made me want to melt to the floor. I looked back towards everyone and then at Esme, who looked like she wanted to explode with joy.
"Oh Carlisle!" Esme said. Yep, she was exploding with joy alright. "This is so great Carlisle! You have a daughter! An actual daughter! Oh I couldn't be happier for you!" She threw her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her laughing. Esme let go, and turned to me. "Bella. I know you have never had an actual mother figure, well other then Sarah, but I would love nothing more then to be a mother to you." Oh god let the waterworks begin.
"Yes Esme", I said crying again, "I would love that." Esme then ran over to me and gave me a hug.
"So everyone", my dad began, "Bella is going to be living with us from here on out. Welcome to the family Bella!" A family. I have a family. For the first time in 200 years, I'm actually apart of a family. This has to be the most craziest three days of my life.
"Yes! Another sister!" Alice said shooting up and running over to me to give me a hug. "Oh this is just going to be so great Bella! Oh. . Ohmygod! You're going to be needing new clothes if you're going to live here! Shopping trip!" She was bouncing up in down in my arms. All I could do was laugh and bounce along with her.
"Hey, get out of the way Alice let me hug my new sister!" Emmett got up and hugged me. "Alright, now that you're living here, you need to show me those amazing video game skills you claim to have!" I was laughing even harder now. You got to love Emmett.
"Yes Emmett of course. If your lucky, maybe some of my skills will rub of on you", I said breaking the hug. He then began to laugh. Rosalie and Jasper both began to make their way over to me to hug me. After I broke my hug with Jasper, I looked up to Edward who was making his way over to me. He opened his arms and gave me a hug.
"Welcome to the family Bella", he whispered in my ear. His voice was like velvet. It was very comforting. He let go and smiled that gorgeous smile at me. I smiled back and then looked back to Benjamin who was laughing.
"I told you it was going to be ok Bella!", he said making his way over to me.
"Benjamin", I said, "Thank you. Thank you so much for coming to find me. If it wasn't for you, none of this would be possible. Thank you."
"Yes Benjamin thank you", Carlisle said shaking his hand. "Well Bella", he turned to look at me, "lets get you situated. Alice, Rosalie, why don't you show Bella to the spare bedroom. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper, why don't we head to Benjamin's car and get her things out." The boys nodded and headed out the door.
"Come on Bella", Alice said yanking my hand, "lets go upstairs! Come on Rosalie!"
"Coming guys", Rosalie said walking over to us. I then walked upstairs, into my new bedroom, and began my life as a Cullen.
A/N
Phew!!! This chapter is long! I liked writing it though. This is personally my favorite one yet. A little tear jerker in there as well. Rosalie isn't going to be a bitch towards Bella, but she will still have that attitude we all love. So, you know what to do. Please review and you will get your chapter 5. Until then….be safe.
