I opened my eyes to find that I was in my old bedroom in Forks. Huh?
My bedroom door was pushed opened followed by "Mommy, Mommy!". I looked towards the sound and saw my babies. They had smiles on their faces and were wearing their pyjamas. I pulled the blanket back so they could hop in. They jumped in immediately snuggling down, Delilah on my right and Cameron on my left. I sat up a bit so not to disturb them and watched them lovingly. I stroked their hair before kissing their foreheads, god I loved them.
*Scratch Scratch*
What the hell?
I looked towards the window and almost screamed out loud but remembering my darlings, sleeping peacefully next to me, I clamped my hands over my mouth. Someone was sitting on the windowsill, INSIDE my room. The moonlight shone through the window giving the figure a sort of eerie glow. I could tell it was a male from the build. I wasn't sure whether to scream for help or throw something at him. The latter seemed more appropriate but my aim sucks and I doubt a pillow could do any real damage. So I sat there.
"Hello Bella" his voice like velvet, sounded as if it were almost 'caressing' my name. I froze. I might not have been able to see him, but I would know that voice anywhere.
I gasped, then slowly lowered my hands. I couldn't believe it, he was here, in my room. Edward was actually here.
"E-e-Edward?" I stuttered, there was no way this was real. Was it?
"Surprised?" he asked, I shuddered, the way he said it was almost, cynical. I nodded my head, thinking he could see me. Idiot. I cleared my throat.
"Uh, y-yes very" I said almost breathless. My heart felt as if it was going to jump out of my chest, pounding to an untimely beat , I was sure he could hear it from where he sat.
"Good, because I've come for them Bella" he said. I waited for him to elaborate, he didn't. Well I had no idea what the hell he was on. I was confused. Come for what?
"Come for what?" I asked. I could feel the heat rising up to my cheeks. I mentally berated myself for sounding like a moron . I was thankful he couldn't see me.
"For my children, silly girl" he said softly, but I could here the underlying threat in his voice.
It took me a moment to comprehend what he said. Then my heart stopped, before kicking in to overdrive and going twice as fast as it was before. The world started spinning and I felt sick. Them.He wanted my babies. He was going to take them away from me. Did I hear him right? and as if he could read my thoughts.
He said "My children Bella, Cameron and Delilah. I think it's about time they come with me, don't you think?"
I was frozen. I couldn't speak. He wouldn't do that, he can't. No, No their was no way he was taking them from me.
"No, there is no way in hell they are going anywhere with you" I growled through my teeth, my hands clenched at my sides. How dare he.
He laughed, but it wasn't his normal laugh. No, this one, this one was evil almost as if he were mocking me.
"Oh, but I think you'll find that they are, I am, after all their father Bella" he said tauntingly.
Then, like a bad horror movie, lightening flashed outside. Everything was bright for a second before my room was thrust back in to darkness again. I waited for my eyes to adjust and started. Edward wasn't by the window. I looked around my room just in case he'd moved elsewhere, but he wasn't. I took a deep breath, trying to will myself to believe it was all a dream. I settled back down hoping to sleep when I realised, there should have been two soft bodies on either side of me. I pulled the blanket back. They weren't on the bed. The twins were gone. I jumped up and ran to the door.
I heard sobbing coming from the other side and a ghostly laugh, Haunting. Son of a bitch has my kids.
I banged on the door, trying to ram it down. "NO! NO! NO! Edward give them back!!" I yelled and screamed, trying to get the door open.
"Mommy, Mommy!" I heard Delilah and Cameron screaming for me.
I tried even harder to get the door open but it wouldn't budge. I heard a car start up outside. I ran to the window, and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. I saw him out on the sidewalk holding the twins in his arms. I tried breaking the glass, but it would reseal its cracks every time I tried.
Then very faintly, I heard him.
"I told you, Bella" I could see him smiling wickedly before getting into the car and speeding off.
"NO, NO NOOO!!!" I screamed, banging on the window.
"Ma'am, Ma'am" I heard a women's voice.
Someone was shaking me. "Ma'am"
I opened my eyes, groggily, to see the flight attendant hovering over me. I was still on the plane.
"Sorry Ma'am, but we'll be landing soon. If you could please buckle your seatbelt and your children's"
I nodded my head before she walked away. Children? .Then almost too quickly , I spun my head to the left-giving me whip lash in the process-and sighed with relief. The twins were still there, sleeping peacefully. I leant over and kissed their foreheads, brushing their hair away from their faces before sitting back.
All of it. It was all a dream. I didn't know whether to be grateful it was a dream or terrified because it could happen. He could take them away from me, I kept them away from him for 4 years and I knew if this ever went to court he could use it against me. Shit. I'm throwing this all out of proportion, surely Edward would never do that. That's not how Esme and Carlisle raised him to be and I know him. He would never do something like that. Would he?.
'Ladies and Gentlemen, we should be landing in about 5 minutes, thanks once again thank you for flying with British airways hope you enjoyed your flight'
Well shit. We slept through our entire flight, which I guess is a good thing but I definitely could've gone without the nightmare. I noticed the flashing seatbelt light come on. I turned towards the twins and buckled them up. I don't think they'd want to be awake for this.
The plane slowly started to descend, shaking as it did so. I felt a little queasy but I tried to ignore it closing my eyes and holding my breath. Then the plane touched the ground. I was home.
After what seemed like hours we finally made it through customs.
When the plane came to a halt, I was glad that when I woke the twins up, they didn't make such a fuss like they normally do when I wake them up. I figured it was probably because they were excited they get to see the rest of the family very often now. But I knew they'd be starving as they hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast. We made our way through the crowds looking for Alice and Jasper. Charlie had insisted that he'd come and pick us up but Alice put her foot down and said she and Jasper were and well, you never say no to her if you care for your nether regions and don't want to suffer her wrath. She maybe 4'4ft but the damn pixie can be scary when she wants to be.
"Mommy, we're 'ungry" Cameron said, rubbing his tummy for emphasis.
"I know sweetie, we'll pick something up on the way home, but not too much we're having dinner at Mama Esme's tonight" trying to placate them.
"Okay" they sighed in unison.
I stood on my toes, looking out towards the doors hoping to see Alice, well Jasper really, I don't think I'd be able to see her even if I tried. Then I heard a very high pitched squeal, coming from my right. Alice. I turned around just in time to see a black and white blur, hurl itself at me. I let go of the twins so that when we fell down, I wouldn't pull them down with us because you don't throw yourself (literally) at someone who use to be the world's biggest klutz and not expect them to topple over.
Namely me of course.
"Bella Bella Bella Bella I missed you!" Alice squealed and half yelled, squeezing me to death. I laughed and kissed her forehead.
"Nice to see you too Pixie" before hugging her back. She hasn't changed one bit.
"Darlin, you might wanna get up off her, people are startin to stare" a cool voice said, although i could hear the embarrassment. Jasper.
Alice got up off me before squealing again and crushing the twins to her and placing kisses all over their faces.
"AUNT ALICE" they yelled giggling. I looked up to see Jasper smiling down at me.
"Need a hand?" he chuckled. I blushed and he laughed harder.
"Still blushin Bella, I see?" he teased
I rolled my eyes before laughing. He grabbed my hand and hauled me up before pulling me to his chest and giving me a hug. I missed Jasper, he was always like an older brother to me. When he and Emmett found out about Tanya, I had to beg them not get on a plane and fly to Chicago to kick Edward's ass. They'd always thought of me as their baby sister as I was the youngest of the group.
"How've you been Jazz?"
"Good, very good, Miss Alice here's bin keepin me on my toes" he said. Giving Alice a smile, I looked over and saw her blushing. She heard us.
I laughed, "Typical Alice" She glared at me and poked her tongue out, very mature Ali.
"Indeed" he said laughing as well.
Alice had finished hugging the twins, so we all went to get the suitcases. Alice and I were pushing them out on trolleys whilst Jasper was carrying Cameron and Delilah.
"I'm so glad you're back Bella, we all missed you so much" said Alice. I looked over at her and noticed her eyes filled with tears.
"It's good to be back and the twins and I missed you all too Ali" and we did, i don't think we'll be leaving again. I looked at her a second time. Yeup, definite tears there.
"Oh Ali" she was going to make me cry now. She suddenly stopped pushing the trolley and hugged me.
"Well good because you're never leaving again" I laughed and hugged her back. Now I'm crying.
"God, we're such girls" We both laughed this time.
We continued pushing the trolleys, with Jazz and the twins trailing behind us. We stopped when we got to….a minivan?. I stopped and looked at Alice questioningly. I distinctly remember her being the proud owner of a Porsche .
"I know, I know, but it's not ours, we hired it so we could come and get you's, Mom said we had to. I don't think we all would've been able to fit in my car anyway and Jasper has a motorbike." Alice huffed.
Enough said.
So we managed to get all the suitcases into the boot and Esme had already brought Car seats for the twins. Woman thinks of everything. It took an hour to get from Port Angeles to Forks and we stopped halfway to get Delilah and Cameron something to eat. Nothing too big because I know Esme cooks enough for an army and I didn't want it to spoil their dinner.
We came to a stop when we reached Charlie's house. I wanted to see him first and so did the kids. I told Alice we'll get dressed here and make our way over later. I grabbed two suitcases, one belonging to me, the other to the twins, the rest they'll take back to the house with them. Just before they left, the front door opened.
"Bells?" asked Charlie. He looked confused, as if he had no idea we were coming. Well he didn't, choosing to stop at his house was a last minute thing. He still looked the same, surprisingly. I thought his beer belly might've been a bit more pronounced this time around. I practically run to him and gave him a big hug.
"I missed you old man" I said kissing him on the cheek.
"I missed you too Bells" he said gruffly, his cheeks tinged pink. I giggled then let him go before going back to get the suitcases. Charlie never was one for showing his emotions, i'm more like my dad in that way but i hadn't seen him in a year, so the occasion called for it.
"POP!" the twins yelled before racing up the footpath towards him. He smiled before reaching down and letting them jump into his arms. He was always happy to see the twins.
"We're gonna get goin Bells, we'll see you's at the house" said Jasper kissing me on the cheek and getting into the van. Waving to Charlie and the twins.
Alice gave me one last hug, before putting something in my hand.
"Mom, wanted me to give you this key, so when you come home you don't have to knock okay. Oh and we definitely have to go shopping whilst you're here, considering your fashion sense has improved and I love your outfit'. Great.
I kissed her cheek. "Okay, okay now go I'll see you later"
"Love you!!" she said, whilst getting into the car.
They drove off down the street, Alice waving madly from the window. I laughed before waving back. I grabbed the suitcases and made my way up the path to the house. Charlie was already inside with the twins. Gee dad thanks for the help.
"Hey dad, we'll only be here for an hour to get ready then we'll leave for the Cullens. Are you going to come for dinner?" I yelled after lugging the suitcases inside.
"Um, no, no its fine you guys go, I um have plans tonight" he yelled back. Charlie has plans?
I went into the lounge were he was currently situated, the twins on his lap.
"You have plans?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He cleared his throat, visibly squirming. Delilah was looking at her grandfather too, Cameron was busy watching the football game on tv to notice anything.
"Huh…..I-I……um uh…..well it's…….uh" he sucked in a breath and he was BLUSHING. That on top of the fact that my father was stuttering, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I cracked up laughing.
"Da…….Dad…….I I…was just….kidding" I managed to get out in between laughs. He grunted obviously embarrassed but you could see the relief written all over his expression. I giggled once before kissing his cheek and apologising. I told him that the kids and I needed to get ready for dinner tonight and asked him if he could give us a ride there. He said yes. So I went upstairs and got the kids showered before dressing them.
[Outfits on page]
I dressed Delilah in light blue dress with yellow and white flowers on it with a jean jacket, white flats and a butterfly clip for her hair. Cameron wore slightly faded jeans, a vertical striped white and blue button up shirt with dark brown lace ups.I wore a strapless floral dress that was about an inch above my knee with gold, purple and turquoise flowers on it, with a black trapeze jacket and blue verni pumps. I did smokey eyes for my make-up, with a bit of blue and clear lip gloss. I had no idea what to do with my hair so I did big curls and left it like that. By the time I was finished, we had to go. Otherwise Alice would have my ovaries on a platter. Crazy pixie.
We made it to the Cullens in record time, going slightly over the 55 speed limit. Charlie must've been eager to get to where ever he had to go. The kids hugged him and kissed his cheeks,I did the same as we both got out to get the suitcases.
"I'll come by and see you tomorr-" i was cut off abruptly.
"No!" dad yelled. He saw my shocked expression and slightly back tracked. "I mean I'm kinda busy tomorrow Bells. Come by the day after?"
What are you up to old man. "Uh okay, well we'll see you then" I said slightly suspicious.
"Okay, love you" he cleared his throat. Same old dad.
"Love you too, bye dad" the kids and I waved as he set off back down the drive.
"Pop's actin strange" Delilah mused. I laughed, couldn't agree with her more. I looked up at the house. Although I had seen it many times before, it always had that wow factor. It had two levels and the exterior had a sort of Victorian style to it. The house, well, mansion really was white and it was surrounded by small gardens, courtesy of Esme.
"Woah, that's a big house momma" Cameron said stunned by the sheer size of it, Delilah was nodding her head in agreement. I chuckled shaking my head and lead them up the stairs to the front door with the suitcases in my hands.
I unlocked the door and immediately I could smell Esme's home cooking.I was starving. I could hear that everyone was in the kitchen and they weren't aware of our arrival. I left the suitcases at the bottom of the stairs, noticing that there were a few others as well. I thought everyone arrived a few days ago. I grabbed the twins and led them to the kitchen, Esme was coming out the door when she saw us. She gasped, her eyes filled with tears before smiling widely.
"My Bella" was all she said before she pulled me into a vice like hug. I reciprocated, because as much as I loved Renee, Esme was more of a mother than she was and I had missed her. She always had a motherly air about her, it was comforting.
"Hi Esme" she let me go before looking me over and giving me a warm smile, then noticing two little four year olds pouting at her.
"Where's ours Mama Esme?" Cameron asked. Esme laughed before sweeping both of them up into hugs and kissing them repeatedly and they did they same.
"Oh how I missed you all, everyone's home now" she smiled at me again. Tears still evident."Come into the kitchen everyone's waiting" Esme said before turning around and heading back through the door, "Guess who's here everyone" Esme said. Everyone stopped talking the moment we walked in. It was awkward for all of the 5 seconds that we stood there before Emmett broke the silence.
"Jelly Bean Jelly Babies!!!" he yelled. Good lord. Emmett and his nicknames. He'd been calling me Jelly Bean since Middle school and after I had the twins, it made sense for them to be nick named Jelly Babies. I thought it was cute, but I'm sure he had some strange obsession with candy.
"Hey Emmy Bear" I practically whispered.
We were swarmed immediately in hugs from everybody. Rosalie and Alice basically attacked me so we ended up on the ground. It hurt like hell, so we laughed to hide the pain. Jasper just kissed my forehead like he had earlier. Emmett picked me up and swung me around like a rag doll. I laughed and squeezed him back. I missed my Emmy Bear. Next was Carlisle, he held on to my shoulders and looked me over before pulling me into a hug.
"Welcome home Bella" he said. I pulled back and smiled at him.
"Thanks Carlisle" I said warmly.
I noticed that everyone aside from Carlisle and Esme were fighting over who got to hold on to the twins. I laughed, they did this when ever they came to England. I was so caught up in the moment I forgot about the suitcases.
"Hold on, I've been meaning to ask" everyone stopped to look at me. I blushed and ducked my head.
"Haha same old Jelly Bean" Emmett guffawed. Rose smacked the back of his head.
"Oww, Rosie" he whined. Everyone laughed including the twins. Rose and I rolled our eyes at his antics.
"I just wanted to know whose suitcases are at the bottom of the stairs" I said.
Then everyone was quiet. Carlisle and Esme looked nervous, Jasper and Emmett wouldn't look at me, Rose looked livid and Alice looked worried. Which immediately put me on red alert. Something was wrong.
"What is it, What's wrong?" I asked frantically.
I heard a throat clear behind me.
"Hello Bella" His voice
I turned around slowly but didn't look up.
"Hello Edward" Fuck.
AN: I know i'm horrible for leaving it there, but i promised he'd make an appearance ;) There will definitly be more Edward in the next chapter.
