Chapter 31:

Thinking

EPOV

The was a tall blond sitting in the coaches chair when I got to the gym.

One period left.

"Okay every, Mrs. Gymfit is out sick today so I will be subbing for her which means today is a free day" she announced as she flipped open a Sports Illustrated magazine.

Everyone cheered and went off doing their own thing.

We were all standing in a corner, talking in whispers when we heard them

"Rosalie is so psychotic. Jeez, we actually had to take you to Dr. Cullen" Sophie said.

Dad? We all turned to Rosalie. I knew something had happened but they had both been blocking me. She ignored us fixing her hair.

"I know. Hmm . . . I wonder if she even knows?" Nessie asked.

Knows what?

"Probably not, and if she did, she's so self-centered I highly doubt she would care" Alex added.

I had to stifle a laugh. That was mostly true. Rosalie noticed and slapped me.

"Oh shut up"

"Tell me about it. She probably twisted the story and was let off the hook or let off easy" Will agreed.

That's when Rosalie lost it. She lunged at the family one millisecond before Alice 's vision. Uhoh

"You know what you worthless piece of trash, I'm GROUNDED!! For a MONTH!!" Wow. What for? "Yeah, because you had to go running to Carlisle complaining that I broke your shoulders" Carlisle?? Who is she talking to? "Did you run off to your mommy and daddy too? Oh! That's right, they're probably Dead. Pathetic" she said and slapped Nessie so hard she flew back.

We started speed running to her to grab her and shut her up when Will shocked her all the way back to us, making us fly back. We got up and saw her family crouched. We took up defensive positions when someone called "Stop"

I froze. I knew that voice. I loved that voice. Yet, I didn't exactly want to hear it now. I turned to her in shock to see her standing by the doorway staring at us. Bella. Not good.

She glared at Rosalie before slamming us into the bleachers and then pinning us there.

"Again, we're stuck here. You know, Rosalie, maybe you do need to see a physiologist" I said.

"Shut up Edward. We wouldn't be here in the first place if you never left her" that was a low blow and she knew it.

I automatically went silent. I turned back toward Bella. Sophie was back and they had medical supplies. They cleaned up Nessie's blood and . . . wait! Blood?!?! I sniffed and sure enough, I could smell it. Yet, it wasn't appetizing. Just . . . sweet. Almost like smelling a perfume or cologne . . . it smells nice. But she's a . . . a vampire! She . . . how can she . . . she smells like vampire yet had blood and a heartbeat. What is she?

Bella got up and started walking towards us before turning back. They had a quick talk. I saw Sophie lifts Nessie's shirt's sleeves. There, Carlisle I assumed had placed a 2 braces over her shoulders. Rosalie wasn't paying attention and the whole story replayed in her head as she watched Nessie.

I listened in horror. I felt so angry at Rosalie for hurting Nessie . . . but why?? I felt . . . sort of like I knew Nessie . . . or like I was connected to her. Finally, Bella turned towards us. She seemed to be debating something intensely. Then suddenly, her shield dropped and she lunged at Rosalie.

The force of the impact sent them flying through the back doors. We ran after them. They tumbled down a hill, kicking and punching yet it seemed Rosalie as getting the worst end of the stick. Finally they reached the bottom. Rosalie sprang up a second too late and she got hit square in the chest by Bella.

Before Bella could go an further, I caught up with her. I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Bella, stop it" I whispered in her ear.

"No!" she yelled in defiance as she broke free but Emmett had already caught up to us and he grabbed her arms, pinning them to her back.

"Emmett, I swear if you don't let go, you'll regret it" she yelled at him as she pulled.

I suddenly got an idea.

"Let . . . me . . .go!!" she said.

"Bella, look at me" I said as I moved in front of her, inches from her face.

She opened her eyes and I closed the distance between us. As our lips met, a shock when through me. I remembered feeling Bella. Her warm touch. Her softness, her love . . . everything. Yet here she was, once again in my arms. A feeling of bliss spread throughout my body.

I pulled away, ecstatic. She smiled back until her eyes focused on something behind me. Her smile faltered and I could see her getting angrier and angrier. She made Emmett let go of her and then threw me against a tree, me head smashing against the bark.

"You lied to me!!" she accused angrily.

What? About what??

"You said you missed me! You said you LOVED me!! But it was all a lie. I get it now. You were distracting me so I wouldn't realize what Rosalie did!!" she yelled at my face.

No!!! That's not true!! I heard her family yelling, slamming against what I guessed was her shield.

"You used me, just like you did some 30 years ago. Used me until you no longer needed me and then just left me there like a broken toy. Well guess what, I know now! You can't use me anymore. You can't cover up the fact that Rosalie is attacking my daughter!!!" she yelled.

"No, Bella, I swear it wasn't like that. I . . . did you say daughter?" I said as my eyes got wide.

She couldn't have a . . . a daughter! Who? When?

"Ugh! No! Well, yes but . . . you know how it is. She was the first I changed so I think of her as my daughter more than the others who are more like siblings. Now stop distracting me" she said her voice unnaturally calm.

She's lying. She's not telling me something. She's hiding something.

"Bella, I swear it wasn't like that. I didn't find out until yesterday" Uhoh. Wrong thing to say. "I mean . . . and she . . . I tried to talk" but she made me put my hand over my mouth.

She let her shield down because Emmett came running to Rosalie She then ran over to Nessie, picked her up and ran off. After she left, I could finally let my hand go.

"Rosie, you okay?" I heard Emmett say.

"Yeah that" I stopped listening know Rosalie was probably cursing Bella out. I heard one word though . . . psychotic, and I totally lost it.

"You think she's psychotic Rosalie? Well think about everything you've done. I think you're the one who needs help. She was accepting, we were talking, sharing a moment and you . . . you ruined it! Now, she hates me again and more than before!" I yelled at her as I stormed off and ran into the forest. I ran until I got to a small meadow I had found. It was at the base of a water fall. I laid down next to the edge against a rock.

Bella.

I almost had her and I lost her again. I took out the crumbled note from my pocket. Bella had dropped it before going into gym. I unfolded it and looked it over. A couple lines caught my attention.

Really Edward, you left me broken, beyond possible repair. I gave you everything and you simply rejected it. My love, my trust, my soul. You broke and went back on every promise you made me. You made everything . . . my life in Forks . . . a lie. I don't think I can forgive you easily for that.

Ugh! I can't believe it. I left her and . . . it only made things worse. I put the note away. There was something else that was bugging me . . . Nessie. What was she?

I remembered Nessie's blood in the gym . . . her heart beat that I heard so many times but disregarded. Her broken bones yet her vampire smell. Her extra strength . . . could she possibly be half human-half vampire? Is that even possible? And . . . how . . .

! ! ! ! ! !

Bella.

Flashback

"You used me, just like you did some 30 years ago. Used me until you no longer needed me and then just left me there like a broken toy. Well guess what, I know now! You can't use me anymore. You can't cover up the fact that Rosalie is attacking my daughter!!!" Bella yelled.

End of Flashback

Bella's protectiveness of Nessie, the resemblance . . . her saying daughter on accident . . . could she possibly . . . wait!

Flashback

"Guys, I just noticed but isn't it weird how that Nessie girl has the same color hair as you bro" Emmet said to me.

"Yeah, and she has such a temper like you" Jasper said.

"We are nothing alike" I said stubbornly.

"Oh come on, you are so much alike it's creepy" Alice chimed.

End of Flashback

The hair. The same bronze hair . . . and her temper . . . could Bella possibly have a daughter? Could . . . could I possibly be a father?
