Chapter 11

I knew they would be shocked, but really, it was like Edward, Ean and I were in a room of statues. I looked at Edward uncertainly, and he smiled reassuringly, letting me know that what they were thinking wasn't terrible.

Esme was the first to recover from the shock of the story. Her face lit up with a smile bigger then I had ever seen, as she stood up and slowly approached Edward, Ean and I.

"Bella, Edward, he is absolutely beautiful. May I… may I hold him?" I nodded, as Edward answered

"Well Mom Bella did tell me yesterday it was about time Ean met his family, especially his grandparents." Esme's smile got even bigger as I handed her Ean. She rocked back and forth, obviously getting the idea he liked movement, as he nuzzled into her neck. I looked over at Emmett, who had started to walk over to meet his nephew,

"I think when he gets older we might have to keep an extra eye on you two, because so far he is living up to your name." After I finished speaking, I noticed Carlisle had gotten up and walked over to Esme and Ean, Alice had moved over to Jasper, and was talking to him quietly, and then I saw that Rosalie had finally moved. She was standing, glaring at me, unnoticed by the rest of the family.

"You should be happy that Jasper took a snap at you. It was one more reason for Edward to decide to make us leave." She had whispered it, but vampire ears do not miss anything, and everyone turned to look at her.

"You should be pretty damn happy we left. You have everything, humanity, a child, and I bet you would still give it all up. You. Don't. Deserve. It." It was like the venom in her system had completely been drained into her words, she looked so livid. She was gone in the next blink of my eye. Emmett gave me an apologetic look before chasing after her, calling her name. Jasper, looking more ashamed then I had ever seen, got up and walked away slowly, with Alice at his side. Esme gave Ean to Edward, and with a loaded look, she and Carlisle separated to go and talk to their surrogate children.

And that all happened before I had even begun to think about Rosalie's words. I sunk to the floor, feeling even more awful after witnessing firsthand the damage I had done to this family. Edward sat down next to me sitting Ean in between his legs before speaking,

"Bella, please don't blame yourself for all of this—"

"Why shouldn't I Edward? Any confidence Jasper had about resisting his temptation is shot because I was clumsy and got a paper cut, Rosalie is miserable because of my very presence, and just by being around and sitting next to you that day in Biology, I have ruined your family." Edward moved so quickly I almost didn't see him, but he moved to kneel in front of me while not moving Ean at all. Edward put both his hands on my cheeks, forcing me to look into his eyes,

"Isabella Swan" he hesitated, "Andrews. Don't you ever say you ruined us. You have no idea how happy you make us," I turned my eyes to the floor at that, because the scene I had just watched seemed anything but happy, "Damn it Bella when will you ever see yourself clearly! I haven't seen Esme or Alice that happy since Forks! Did you miss how everyone brightened up when you walked in the room?"

"Not everyone," I mumbled.

"Please Bella, don't worry about Rosalie, she's always struggled with out immortality. She does care about you, and she knows how happy you make us. She just needs a little while, and then she's going to love Ean. Everyone else already does, believe me." I had lost the will to fight back, and his words were starting to leak in. I looked up into his eyes, and didn't even notice that I was crying until I felt his cool fingers wiping the tears away. I nodded to let him know I was okay, and he moved his hands, helping me up and picking up Ean.

Ean smiled at me, and I knew that there was no way I was staying upset. Edward brought in the rest of our things, since I was staying with them for a few days, and we got out some toys for Ean. He was getting a little jittery, so Edward and I sat on opposite ends of the room and let him run back and forth. Whenever he reached the middle, he would look at both of us, and then decide to keep running straight, giggling the entire time. After a while, Esme walked back into the room, looking weary, but the moment she saw Ean switch courses to run to her she went back to the smile I was accustomed to. She swung him into the air and kissed his cheek, then set him down, tickling his stomach before he ran back to me. I looked over at her,

"I'm sorry about disrupting everyone Esme, if you want I can go stay somewhere else," "No Bella. Thanks for the offer, but I would much rather if you and my grandson stay here. I would like to keep all of my family close to me." With that, she walked over to the door, saying she was going to buy some human things, and I knew from the look on Edward's face it was no use arguing. Before the door was even closed Alice appeared, and smiling hugely at us said,

"Did you honestly expect me to let Esme go shopping without me?" She said something extra to Edward, I could tell from the way she glanced at him, but she left before I could say anything. I picked up Ean and walked over to Edward, sitting down.

"Alice had a vision of you talking to Jasper, she thinks it's a great idea. He's sitting outside now if you want to go speak to him." I smiled "I think I will," and after handing Ean to him, I walked to the door Edward pointed at, and looked around.

I saw Jasper sitting on swing a few yards away, and slowly approached him. He looked up at me, and smiled softly. I pulled a chair over and sat across from him

"Jasper, you know that I don't blame you for anything. I don't blame anyone. I really want you to stop feeling guilty, and trust yourself, because I trust you, and so does everyone else. I want you to meet your nephew, and to be able to be in the same room as Edward or I without hating yourself. It was three years ago Jasper. Even if that isn't very long to you, it is to me, and if you could please just put it behind you, because I promise you I did before the scratches even healed."

"Edward was right. You really do have no sense of self-preservation. But I'll try Bella, just give me some time."

"Okay, but I know that you won't hurt me, and I know that you definitely will not hurt Ean. You care too much." I reached forward and squeezed his hand reassuringly, before standing up and walking back into the house.

I walked in to a scene that definitely would have scared me if I wasn't with a bunch of superhuman vampires. Ean was on Emmett's shoulders, and sliding down a huge silver slide that had not been there 5 minutes ago. Ean was screaming happily, and pulling on Emmett's hair, which he had started doing when he was young and whoever was holding him was walking too slow. I really blame that one on Edward.

We spent the rest of the day with the entire family, just relaxing and getting back to how it used to be, but Ean involved. Rosalie didn't show up, but Jasper did, even if he kept a distance. I was proud of Alice for not buying Ean or I an entire store, and I was also proud of Esme for not making me a buffet for 12.

That night I decided it was time to put Ean to bed, and everyone said they were going to go hunting and leave Edward an I with Ean. I carried him upstairs and Edward showed me where his room was. He had put a bed for me and one for Ean in earlier that day. After Ean fell asleep Edward and I walked back downstairs. We sat on the couch and I turned to face him, "So what does everyone really think? And be honest."

A/N Thank my mom for this update. She let me go to school late so I could finish an essay, and I finished early so I worked on this for all of you. =)
