"I mean if you don't mind telling me about some things," I said as I played with my hands in my lap. I have recently found out that I have this nervous tendency of doing that when I was getting nervous.
"Of course not, Bella. I am glad you are asking these questions. You have a right to know about us and how you are tied into this family," my father said in a tone that gave me a feeling that if I knew these answers I might be afraid.
"I can handle it."
Everyone in the room looked right at me. The moment honestly gave me a second of fear, but it was replaced by a moment of security when I knew that this was my family and that they loved me.
"Okay… the answer to your first question is that you need to know what we are a family," my father said getting up from his seat and he settled himself on the floor in front of me. "Everyone in this room except for you and Esme, your mother, I considered them adopted." Okay… I'm now totally confused. He must have seen my confusion flash across my face because he quickly explained the situation more. "I changed all of them into vampires including your mother, but she is my wife so I couldn't have adopted her," he chuckled. I loved the sound knowing that he was this happy.
"As you know, Emmett and Rosy are husband and wife, but for us to live in a place for extended amounts of time, they pretend that they are just dating, and Alice and Jasper are married as well," my mother said with a smile. Oh how I love her smile, her smile puts the sun to shame.
"I love your smile, mom," I said in a whisper. It felt really strange saying it out loud, but I couldn't help myself. I turned when I thought I heard a sniffle. Is she crying? "Are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't mean to get you upset," I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. I never wanted to bring anything but good feelings to this woman that loved me so much. She jumped over my dad. She made it so graceful I was memorized.
She sat in between Edward and me and pulled me into a hug that gave me a strange feeling that I wasn't really familiar with… what's the word… good. "I love you," she whispered in my ear, I murmured it back to her and she pulled me into an embrace and I laid my head on her shoulder.
"Alright… now that we are passed that, I will continue," my father said laughing at us, but he had a sparkle in his eye when we looked at Esme and me. It was clear that the sight of me with my mother was something he had wanted to see for a very long time.
"You are a miracle too. I guess you can say that you are one of a kind since you are the first of your kind," he said with a smile. What? I have a kind? That sounds way too weird. "There have never been two vampires being able to conceive a child known to the vampire world."
"Why?" This was insane. I couldn't understand this at all.
"You see, vampires just have venom in their bodies. That is the reason why we have to feed on animals to get the blood we need. However…" he paused in mid sentence. Lord… that's annoying. "I don't have sperm and your mother doesn't have eggs to be able to pro create or create life."
This conversation was very informative but it was embarrassing to be talking to your parents about how you were created and eventually born. Great, wonderful, perfect. I just blinked at him to continue. It couldn't get anymore confusing…
"You are apart of a prophecy as well," he stated as he stared off into space.
"Me?" Why me? Why couldn't I be normal or typical…? "What prophecy?" I couldn't believe this so I just shook my head.
"A prophecy of a girl that would be to born to a vampire who can resist and sustain from human blood even if human blood was spilled before him, who is married to a female vampire that has more love and compassion than anyone that walks this earth. She would have the ability to love unconditionally," my father stated as he stared at my mother as if she was the most beautiful being on this planet. His eyes twinkled with delight and admiration for the woman who was holding me to her.
I sighed in contentment.
My father continued on explaining about the prophecy which brought him to talk about my powers, my gifts.
"You my daughter are more powerful than any being that walks this earth. You have the ability to use any power you want at will and all you have to do is think about it and it's yours," he said with a happy tone but his smile disappeared as quickly as it came. "This also puts you in danger beyond anyone else in the world because every coven wants you. The reason is because who ever gets you and turns you to a full vampire will become the most powerful coven the world has ever seen. No one would dare to stand up to you or that coven." The words that he spoke sent chills down my spine and most of all, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"I will stop using them, I don't need them, and I will pretend that I have nothing. They will never know," I said in a worried tone. I then felt the trader tears start to form in my eyes yet again.
"I don't want you to be in danger because of me," I said looking at everyone. "I'm not worth it, I will just go. I have money saved up, and I'll leave and everyone will be safe from whatever the hell I am."
My father grabbed my face hard and made me look at him. I flinched away, he noticed.
"I'm sorry Bella… please listen to me. We don't care if we have to fight off the world as long as you're in this family. You are my daughter, do you understand me?" He asked in a tone that showed his authority but yet still had the kindness he possessed. I just stared at him for a moment because I wasn't sure if I should agree or not.
"Bella, I made a mistake fifteen years ago of letting you go. I should have never given you away in the first place. I just got you back. This family just got you back. You are not going anywhere. Our family is finally the way it was meant to be, complete. I am your father and I will fight till death for you."
I couldn't help but let the tears run down my cheeks. I have not known them that long and here they were already prepared to be killed to save me. It was an amazing feeling to know.
My mom rocked me back and forth as if I was still the little child she lost. The movement was so soothing to me. The last thing I remember was the urge to sleep taking over me. It really had been a long day.

I watch the love of my life, the person that was so terrified to even let me touch her cry. The feeling it gave me was ripping me to shreds. All I wanted to do was to take her in my arms and wipe away all the tears and fears that she holds deep within her heart, but that wasn't possible yet. I watched as her eyes became heavy and she slipped into slumber in Esme's arms. She looked so peaceful.
"My baby," she said kissing her forehead. We all sat on the sofa across from Carlisle, Esme, and sleeping form of the woman I loved. Just watching Bella sleep.
"She is beautiful," I whispered looking over the sleeping beauty.
"She will come around Edward, don't worry," Carlisle said playing with a strand of her hair. I knew he was right, but still didn't take away the feeling of rejection I was having at the moment.
Esme looked sad then she spoke, "We don't even have a bed for her, what kind of mother am I!" It was obvious if she could cry she would be doing it right now.
"Already done! I order it on the internet and it should be here by morning. Thank God for the internet!" Alice said bouncing on the sofa.
We all laughed at how excited she seemed to be about getting her a bed.
"Is it okay if I lay her on your sofa, Edward?" Esme asked with hope in her voice.
I smiled thinking about Bella's sleeping form being in my room. "Sure. There is a cover on the end of it, make sure you put it on her." She smiled at me before she carried her up stairs.
"MOVIE TIME!" Emmett's voice boomed from the other end of the room.
We all agreed to watch "Interview With A Vampire." I really hate this movie, but Jasper likes it and it was sort of his reward for working so hard to keep everything nice and calm all these years. I had admirations for the man, my brother who dealt with so much and yet stayed for us.
Thank you, Edward. It means a lot. Jasper thought to me, of course he could feel it stupid empathy brother.
In the middle of the movie Emmett let out a scream like a little girl and jumped to his feet.
"What is wrong with you, Emmett?" I asked raising my eyebrow.
"It… it was like baby Bella was sitting next to me. It was like how she would do when she was smaller and she crawled onto my lap." Okay, he is officially going insane.
Carlisle went over to him "What are you talking about?"
"I'm serious I was sitting watching the movie and next thing I felt was a warm tiny hand on my arm, I looked down and there she was staring up at me." Emmett seemed freaked out by this.
"Oh... my… God… look," Alice said pointing at the end of the living room. It was like watching a movie.
"This is different," Carlisle said turning the sofa to sit and watch what was playing out in front of us.
It was a three-year old Bella bouncing a ball, her hair pulled back, and then I saw me picking her up and swinging her around in a circle. I am sure I had a smile like a goof on my face. I couldn't help but smile at the sight.
Then the next imagine we saw was her when she was around seven years old and her face was covered in bruises and tears tumbled from her eyes as she played with a small doll.
"What is happening? Why am I seeing my daughter with bruises on her face?" Esme sobbed.
"I think she is relieving her past, and some how we are able to see it," Carlisle said inhaling a deep unneeded breath. It was hard for all of us to be seeing this.
"This is better than a movie" Emmett said. We all turned to glared at him. "Not this particular moment, I'm just saying its cool… geez."
We watched Charlie come in and beat her. She couldn't have been more than eleven years old. Bella's crying and trembling form was more than what we could take, but what broke our hearts was what we heard her say, especially Esme.
"Mommy, where are you?" she cried picking up sharp blade and she began to cut her wrist.
Esme was sobbing uncontrollably "Please stop… please oh God please. What have I done to my baby…?" Carlisle picked Esme up and cradled her, it was hard for him as well, but he had to see how this will play out.
Then we saw at thirteen, it was Halloween.
"Is she dressed up as a Vampire?" Asked Rosalie with laughed in her voice.
"I think so," Carlisle laughed. We all cracked up as she turned towards us. She made a beautiful vampire.
"Wow, nice outfit!" exclaimed Alice. Leave it to Alice to compliment on the wardrobe. Bella went down in a crouching stance and it gave a feeling like she was going to pounce on Emmett.
We all looked at Emmett he look worried. "What is happening?" As that sentence left his mouth Bella pounced and he ducked his head and she ended up in front of him laughing her glorious laugh.
Carlisle looked at what was happening in front of him. Amazing. We never witnessed anything like this, not even him.
"These really happened; she did that to some one to scare them. You were just in the same area as the person she was doing it to Emmett," Carlisle said, trying to explain what was happening.
Then the next image that we saw was the most beautiful thing I have seen. There in all her beauty was Bella, standing in a clearing deep within the woods… a light shining brightly above her head.
"She's an angel," Esme whispered, mostly to her self. Esme was right though, she was an angel.
Bella raised her hands and we saw what her powers could really do. She was chanting and within her hands an orb of energy was forming. She turned, and that was when we saw an army approaching, she threw it at them. Every single one of them was thrown and many of them appeared to be destroyed. She kept throwing energy orbs at them, but there was a never ending line of them coming for her. The next image and words made my heart drop.
She turned around with tears in her eyes. "I love you all, for family…" With that she turned around and ran for the approaching line of vampires… then the whole group including the angel of life blew up in a mind blowing explosion.
"NO!" We all screamed at the same time jumping off the sofa and then the vision ended.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??" Emmett was trying to catch is breath.
"Emmett language," Esme said not knowing what else to say.
Carlisle got up off the sofa and dropped to his knees and looked up at us, "I think that is what is to come." I have never seen Carlisle look so helpless in my hundred and some years I have been with him.
We all just sat there not knowing what else to say or do.
We all heard light foot steps walking around upstairs. "My baby's up," Esme said with a smile on her face looking up at the ceiling trying to be able to look right through it to see what she is doing.
"Hello?" Bella called down. We all chuckled at her, did she really think we were going to leave her? Well she had never been up stairs before so that probably explained her confusion.
Then we heard her walk down the stairs and she looked at us with an odd expression.
"I um… I have not been here that long, but why is the furniture facing the stairs?" she asked turning around to look at the room we were looking at. I watched her as she swished her hair over her shoulders. She looked so beautiful when she woke up.
We just looked at her; we were still speechless because of the imagines she allowed us to see. I'm sure she doesn't know that she did it though, but still she gave us a piece of things we missed and it was clear that we all wished that we could change some of the many things that had happened to her, but we couldn't.
She turned to look at us again and she did that eyebrow thing she did when she was younger.
AWW… she still does it how cute. I chuckled at Alice as she thought that. She was still cute… not just cute, but absolutely stunning.
Look… Oh I remember that. I remember if Carlisle remembers it, I'm sure he does. Esme was just amazed to see her standing in front of her again, and seeing that she hadn't lost all her mannerisms was a great feeling.
She would always do that to me when she wanted to get her way. Rosalie smiled.
I wish I could give her a hug, I'm her big brother, and she looks like she could us a big bear hug. Emmett was finding it hard that she was so terrified of men, he just wanted to be her big brother again.
She is laughing at us internally. I can feel her laughing at us. Jasper chuckled at the feelings that Bella was giving off.
I wonder if she will let me play dress up with her now that she is awake…. She does have all those new clothing that I need to get started on her with. Maybe I should warn her that Alice wants to play dress up with her, she might not like that too much.
She just started laughing at us, and then we joined in with her.
"The TV is that way," She said pointing behind us like we missed something completely. She tried to walk past the sofa.
Then Alice pounced and she landed with a hard thud on the hard floor, we all stared wide eyed at them both.
"ALICE!" We all screamed at her.
"UH… morning Alice, missed you too," Bella said laughing at her sister. She had a beautiful laugh.
"BELLA CULLEN! YOU WILL NEVER DO WHAT I JUST SAW YOU DO, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" She was screaming and it was not necessary.
Bella just lied there on the floor looking at her with sad eyes. Oh no… she has no idea what Alice was talking about and she had to think she had done something wrong.
"Carlisle say something, she seriously thinks she did something wrong," Jasper said in a low whisper for only us to here. "She feels like she did something to anger us and that is the reason why we are not saying anything to her."
Carlisle got off the sofa and picked Alice up off of Bella.
"Alice stop, you're making her sad," Carlisle pulled Bella to her feet, but her eyes shined back with sadness.
Alice didn't mean it, she looked down at Bella, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way." We knew what she meant since we all saw the same thing. Hopefully we can prevent those events from coming to pass.
"Did… did I do something wrong?" Bella said as she pushed her self closer to the corner.
"Bella, baby no. Please come to me. Ignore Alice, you did nothing wrong. Please come give me a hug," Esme said trying to get her to trust that we are not mad at her.
Bella got up and half ran, half walked into her arms. You can definitely tell that they are mother and daughter, she has that bond with her that none of us had or ever would have.
