CHAPTER EIGHT : First Meeting
When I shot the phone I was happy because EJ wanted to meet Edward. I wonder what cause the sudden change. But I was worried about his reaction to Ray Tanya's friend. I mean he has reacted badly to the other friends Tanya has brought. But never so bad that he would try to use his powers on them. Or even asked me like he did today not to like him.
Jasper was the first to break the silence.
"Bella are you ok."
"No." I said their was no us lying when he knew what I was feeling.
"You don't want him to meet me?" Edward asked and I could hear the pain in his voice.
So I looked up and looked straight in to his eyes and answered him.
" No am happy that he wants to meet you. But am worried about his reaction to Tanya's friend. I mean he never reacts great, but never this bad."
"He is probably just trying to protect you like you said before. So don't worry honey." Esme said she was so comforting just like a really mother. She walked over to me and Rosalie moved over so that she could take a seat next to me. Then she hugged me and I hugged her and I was like I had just got my mother back.
"Thank you ….. Mom." I said and I looked up at Esme and she had the biggest smile on her face. And she hugged me tighter.
We all talked about the kids. They asked me question after question and were fascinated with every answer I gave them.
Then about twenty minutes later my phone buzzed and I picked up.
"Hey Jake." I said
"Bell's we are about to leave. But EJ finish talking to Angie and wants to come with me. I think he knows where we are going."
"Bring him then. And why are you taking so long?"
"Well, Mary-Lee is bring you clothes because she said and I quote 'Mommy has to look really pretty for the party and if she picks her own cloths it will be her sweats and I don't like that.'" Jake said and laughed
"Isn't she nice my little mini Alice." I said and laugh at the comment and because Alice was bouncing up and down with happiness.
"Hey everyone went to hunt except Kate who wanted to talk to you before going."
"No one's their beside Kate?" I asked
"No, why?" Jake asked
" Just asking ok Thanks and put Kate on the phone and I'll see you in five minutes."
"Ok bye Bell's." Then Jake said ' Here Kate and see you later have a nice hunt.'
"Bella. Hi how are you."
"Fine. And you Kate?" I asked
"Great. And I had an idea since our visit going to be so short and you haven't been here. I thought maybe we could do something tonight."
" What?" I asked skeptical.
"Go to a club up in Seattle. Come on please and the Cullen's are invited and before you say it Elezer and Carmen are watching EJ and Mary-Lee."
"But Kate you know they can be a hand full." I said in hopes of get out of going.
Then Esme and Carlisle said " We will also help. We can catch up with Elezer and Carmen and get to spend time with our grandchildren."
"Great then its settled we can go." Kate said excited.
"Fine. But we have to comeback early."
"Fine Bell's" Kate said
"Can I ask you something Kate?"
"Sure. Shoot."
"That guy Ray what do think of him."
"I mean he hasn't done anything to anyone and he acts really nice. But I get a weird vibe from him. Why do you ask?"
"Just curious because of EJ reaction he has never acted that way."
"I know." She said and it sound like she was really thinking about it.
"But its ok he's probably just being protective." I said
"Ok don't worry. And am going to go hunt."
"Bye."
I close the phone and looked up to meet Edwards eyes. Then he asked.
"Can we talk?"
I didn't need to have Alice power to know what he wanted to talk about. And I couldn't talk about that right now. Luckily some one knock the door thank God.
I said " Am going to get the door. We can talk later."
"Ok." He said
I headed to the door and saw my angels standing their holding their hands. I said
"Hey Guy's. Happy Birthday."
"Hi mommy and Thank you." They said in unison.
"Where's Uncle Jake?"
" He's changing. Why are we here mommy." Mary-Lee asked
"Well, because I want you to meet some people."
"No mommy I want to ask you something first." EJ said
Jake was walking up the steps so I said .
"Ok wait here with Uncle Jake ok."
"Ok mommy." EJ said
"Jake watch him while I take her inside."
"Sure Bell's"
"Come on Mary-Lee." She Giggled as I picked her up and she waved bye to Jake.
We walked into the living room where I saw all the Cullen's lined up. When Mary-Lee saw them she hugged me tight and her smile was so wide she was full of happiness.
"Ok so that is your Auntie Alice and your Uncle Jasper. You meet them yesterday ." She nodded and wiggled so I put her down and she ran and hugged and kissed them.
Then she stood in front of the next couple which were Rose and Em.
I said " They are your Auntie Rose and Uncle Emmett." She smile Rose picked her up. Mary-Lee hugged her and kissed her and did the same to Emmett.
Then she said to Rose " You know I have your middle name Lillian."
"Yes I do honey." Rose smiled and hugged her tight. Then set her down and Mary-Lee stood in front or Carlisle and Esme and she hugged and kissed them even before I said anything. Then she turned to me for names.
"Those are your grandparents Esme and Carlisle."
Then Esme set her down and Mary-Lee was in front of Edward and she ran back to me. Then asked me in my ear.
"Is that my Daddy?" Then she looked at my face and I nodded and smiled.
Her smile grow wider and she said "Thank you mommy." and hopped down and ran to Edward.
Then she said " I love Daddy I have missed you so much."
Edward said " I love you too princess and I am sorry."
"It's ok Daddy you're here now and just promise you won't leave again And that you won't make mommy's heart hurt." He looked up at me as he said
"I promise princess."
After that they were seated so I said "I'll be right back."
They nodded and headed outside.
When I got outside Jake was playing with EJ when he saw he ran to me.
"Hey Jake can you go home and set the gift up."
"Sure Bell's"
"Here take the car I'll catch a ride with them back to house."
"Alright. Good luck."
"Thanks." In minutes Jake was of and EJ and I head back to the steps. I didn't want to go far and I they would be able to listen anyways. So we set on the steps. And I started the conversation.
"Ok ask your question honey." I said
"Well, Auntie Angie told me everything but am still scared."
"Why." I asked
"Well, she said that he left because he didn't love you anymore, but that he didn't know about us. But what if he stop loving us after a while and leaves." His eyes were filled tears.
I placed him on my lap and said " He will never stop loving you. He loves you just like I love you and I will never stop loving you and he won't either. The love for you kids and the love between a man and women it's different."
"How?" He asked but he was calmer
"Well, a man and a women can confuses a friendship or closeness with love. And it is love but a love like I have for Uncle Ben or Aunt Angie. And that's what happen with your Dad and Me. He was confused he thought he loved me, and he dose care but the same way I care for Uncle Jake or Uncle Ben. But a love for your kid for you it can't be confused. He loves you with all his heart and he can never stop." I said and I was sure of everything I said.
"But you still love Dad?" He asked
"Yes."
"But you don't love him how you love Uncle Ben or Auntie Angie. You love him how Uncle Ben loves Auntie Angie."
He wasn't asking he was stating I just nodded.
"So won't your Heart hurt when you see him because he doesn't feel the same way?"
"No it won't. Look do I look sad and I been here for a long time."
"No you look happy."
"Ok so you want to meet him."
"Yes."
"Ok come on." I said picking up.
