Chapter 7
I know Jasper is the one with the emotion control, but Alice took any feeling of calm I possessed with her. I remember Edward once saying that he wished I would be scared of something, to reassure him. Well he would be plenty reassured if he could see me now. I was going to see him, my Edward. The tricky part was, I wasn't sure if I still wanted him to be my Edward. I missed him, yes, and I wanted him to be a part of Ean's life, and a part of mine. But I didn't know how big a part. And I was already bracing myself for his surely overly dramatic reaction. His self-blame guns were always at the ready, it was ridiculous really. And what about the rest of the family? What if they hated me for getting involved in the first place, or not telling Edward about the babies?
I called over to Renee's room, and before the phone stopped ringing Renee and Angela were at my door. "Isabella Marie Swan Andrews. What in the world is going on??" Renee looked confused, but worried and maybe even a little angry. "Mom, I'm not even sure I know. I saw Alice at the casino, and I think it's time I let all of the Cullens know about Ean. They are his family too, and they have the right to know that. Alice said they live a couple of hours away and I was going to take Ean and go explain everything to them, and take it from there." Angela looked at me understandingly and spoke softly before Renee had time to explode "What are you going to tell Luke?" I shook my head and said, more to my self then anyone else, "I have no idea, but I better figure it out now."
Renee looked dumbstruck. She just gave me a hug, and when I looked at her questioningly, she just said "Your going to need that later Bells. I may have only met him once, but that boy had quite an effect on you. Feelings like that don't just go away sweetheart. Just follow your heart, you will figure this out, I promise. But don't forget about Luke, you know what being hurt feels like." Angela nodded, giving me a knowing smile. "Ang, I am so sorry that this is ruining your birthday present to me, but after I sort all of this out I am taking you back out for a girls weekend. Thank you for being so amazing last night, by the way."
Renee told me to go call Luke, and tell him everything, she and Angela would watch Ean. I walked slowly to the top floor of the hotel, which was completely glass, and stared straight outside while I dialed Luke. I was trying not to think too hard, it would only make it worse. As his phone rang, I realized he was probably out at the lake, and although it wasn't like me, I decided a message would have to do. I could not put this off any longer. "Hi its Luke, I am probably fishing or with my beautiful family (Say hi Ean! "luuuu!" *laughter*), so leave something for me and I will get back to you later." "Hey Luke, its Bella. I hope your having fun with Ben! I ran into Alice Cullen last night, and she invited me back to her house, and I think its finally time that I tell the Cullens and Edward what they've missed. I'm going to be gone with Ean a few extra days, but don't worry, I'll check in. Call me when you get this, and remember I love you. Bye Luke."
It was horrible, that much I knew, but I was selfishly glad to get to postpone that conversation. As wonderful as Luke really was, I doubted he would take to me visiting my almost family too well. I walked back to the room and took a nap, and my only dream was myself sitting in my bedroom. Just watching, waiting for something that I wasn't even aware of.
After waking up, Renee and Angela helped me get Ean together, and then said goodbye. "Please let me know what happens Bella, and don't worry it will be fine." Angela promised. Then they dropped my son and I off at Alice's designated coffee shop. As they drove away Alice came out of nowhere with a very large bag from some expensive baby store. "Alice! Your going to spoil him already?" She looked at me like I had suddenly grown another eye, "Bella he is almost three years old. I am so behind on his wardrobe its sickening." Then she leaned down to my now awake son, and said, "Hi there Ean, my name is Auntie Alice," and tickled his stomach. I noticed she had gloves on, but I also knew that they wouldn't stop her cold. I also noticied that Ean put on one of his million dollar smiles straight off of Edward's face and started giggling while he grabbed her hand. Alice's smile was so big I was sure it would jump off her face. "Does he talk much yet Bella?" "Constantly, but he's been a little quieter the last few days." "Awiss!" Alice looked absolutely thrilled. She then handed him a little stuffed lion, and showed me where her car was parked. "So, how is this going to work?" "Well, I was thinking that I could drop you and Ean at our extra smaller cottage near the current house. Then go home and convince Edward to go hunting with me, and then tell him I left something there." "Wait, do you think when you come back you could sneak Ean out and just walk around with him until I want Edward to meet him? Just a few minutes is all I will need." "Sure Bella, if that's what you want. Then I can leave, but still stay close by in case you need me. And we can take it from there." I tried to steady my shallow breathing, and let my thoughts wander to how I would say everything, and face the man who had haunted my dreams. Before I knew it Alice was dropping me at the cottage, and driving away. I convinced Ean to eat something and then put him down for a nap in his stroller, so Alice could take him quickly. About 20 minutes later Alice sprinted in the back door and grabbed the stroller securely, giving me a kiss on the cheek and a reassuring smile before disappearing. Then the front door flew open, "ALICE. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DO—" It was him. My own personal angel, ten feet in front of me. I gasped and took a step back, "Edward."
A/N Hahahahhahaha, I' m sorry, I really had to. I would like to thank SilverAngel1234, FRK921, and jkmk for my reviews for the pitifully short chapter I posted last week. I hope this makes up for it and everyone will give me some opinions? They really help me out, and my motivation is a little shotty this week, since I got hurt at basketball, and am on crutches for two weeks. I honestly will never stare at anyone or judge people ever again.
Sorry, off topic. But please review and I will also try and get something else up here soon, this next one coming is tricky to write. --Caitlin=)
