Chapter 2

Swamped

"Aro?" I shireked. "What are you doing in Vancouver?"

Aro looked at us with surprise and love in his eyes. He then shook his head in disbelief. He stared at us for around thirty seconds and then he turned around and pointed to a tiny girl. The girl was seated at a desk and she had long flowing blond curls, green eyes, and pale skin. I checked for a heartbeat and she had one. She is a-

"Half- human half- vampire!" Edward said as I realised my shield was off. "Who's child is it?"

Edward asked his question too quickly for human ears to pick up but the blond child stood up and walked to Aro's side while taking his hand in hers. Was she Aro's child? She looked nothing like him. How could they be related?

"Bella, Edward. I have the exact same questions for you and your children? Would you care to go to my house or your's?" Aro asked politely. His eyes were locked on Lily and Anthony, as well Edward and my eyes were locked on the blond girl.

Edward shook his head. "No, sorry we can not. We have work today, but I could tell you about Lily and Anthony through my mind, if you tell us about the girl with you."

I looked at my grandchildren and they were getting squirmy in Edward's arms, so he decided to put them down. We kissed their cheeks and hugged them good- bye. The little girl wanted down when she saw Anthony's, and she let go of Aro's hand.

"Bye, daddy. I love you!" She said as she ran towards the twins. Aro waved good bye and looked back at us.

I hadn't noticed but Aro and Edward were having an internal conversation. After about a few minutes I started to get frustrated and I yelled at Edward through my mind.

Edward! You have to tell me everything Aro says. And hurry up. We are going to be late for work.

"Someone's getting annoyed. But, I must be off, as well. Sulpicia and I are decorating our new home. We moved here for Lucille, so she could have a normal childhood. Well, I will see you at pick up time. See you two later." He winked at us and he left the room with graceful steps.

I sighed as I no longer felt stressed.

I looked up at Edward and entwined our hands, and we kissed. "You'll tell me everything in the car." I mumbled during our kiss. He smirked my smirk and we left.

We approached Edward's Volvo and he opened my door for me. I pecked him on the lips one more time before he shut the door and got in on his side.

Sfter about a minute of silence I cleared my throat so he would explain Aro and his internal conversation.

He chuckled. "What?"

I sighed frustatrated. "Aren't you going to tell me why he is here?"

I crossed my arms and furrowed my brows in his direction.

He sighed giving up and began. "I began with who Anthony and Lily were and he asked how come Nessie and Jake didn't drop them off. I explained and told him why we were here and not with the rest of our family." He took a deep breath and began again. "When I finished explaining his questions, it was my turn."

He stopped and I waited for more but he didn't continue. "Love, aren't you going to tell me anything else?"

He tapped the steering wheel impatiently and frowned. "Well, basically. He told me he found Lucille in the forest when she was just a couple of days old. He was really thirsty at the time, and he wanted the blood. He was going to drink it, but then he noticed the colour of her skin, and her heartbeat was faster then humans, and she was thinking intelligent things in her mind. Instead of killing her, he took her in as his child, and she has been living with him and Sulpicia ever since. They just moved here because she was growing too much in the other town's they lived in and well...thats it."

He took a needless breath and I wanted to ask why they wouldn't just stay with the Volutri in Italy, and let her live like a child in a wealthy household.

We took an abrupt stop in a parking lot and I realised we were at work. I opened the door and headed towards the bank with Edward in my hand.

I still didn't feel like he was telling me the whole story and I really wanted to know what it was, but I didn't want to harp on him. But, why wouldn't he just tell me the whole story? Why was he keeping something from me? Most of all, what was he keeping from me?

I have decided to name the story Sunrise of the Dusk by Lambs16. Check it out and please review there, because I will only be adding them on there now as of the next chapter. And remember, the more reviews, the more happy I get, and the faster the chapter come up.

Please Review! :)
