Edwards point of view
As months passed Alice and I found more out about our past. Also Jamie got closer to Bella, that started pulling her away from Isabelle and me. Though Anna, my mom and now Alice told me not to give up on saving Bella, I started to. "Hey guys" Jamie said smiling when she came up to us in lunch one Friday. She was so excited to invite us all to her family get together on Saturday. "So I was wondering if you all would like to come to my family get together tomorrow." she said taking her seat between Bella and me.
"We'd love to Jamie." I said automatically.
"Great, Carlisle and Esme can come to." Then she turned to Bella. "What about you? My mom's really looking forward to meeting one of my best friends." she said cheerfully.
"Well if your mother is looking forward to seeing me, then I can't let her down. I'll be there." Bella told her in her sweet voice I dreamed of hearing again, but it still had a little edge to it. She then gave me an evil grin that said I'm winning.
"yey, all my favorite people are going to be there." she said happily and hiding that she couldn't wait to show us her new one month old baby brother. Her mother got back on Monday and this party was really a celebration for her mother and the child's return.
The following day the sun was shining brightly over Forks. My family was really angry in their thoughts. Once they decided not to go I had to intervene. "you know whether the sun is out or not Bella will still find a way to go right?" I told them. They all looked at me then glanced at Alice. She concentrated and saw what I predicted.
"He's right, Bella will be at Jamie's party today. She's wearing all black." she told them.
"We still are doing nothing. We can not be exposed. No one can go through Forks today." Carlisle said looking directly at me.
"I'm sorry Carlisle, but I can't do that, I'll be cautious. I'm not leaving a house full of humans unprotected." I told him. Technically I wasn't lying but that wasn't my only reason for going.
"Then you don't go alone Edward. That's my only stipulation. Your not risking our family alone. If you go it's not alone." he stated with edge.
" Ok, I'll agree to that. I won't go alone." I told him seriously knowing he meant well.
"I'll go with Edward." Alice spoke, smiling at me.
"Me too." Jasper said reluctantly. He wasn't going to let Alice go without him whether I was with her or not. He wasn't about to lose her for anything or anyone, no matter how smart and tough she was.
"I'm going to because unlike the rest of you, I don't sparkle that much." Isabelle said. I didn't want my daughter to go and she knew that, by her thoughts. She also knew I wasn't going to stop her from going, because she has a right to be there. I would protect her though, whether she could defend her self against her mother or not.
"I'm in man. You need some backbone." Emmett said energized by his voice and mind. Rosalie was the complete opposite, but I knew that if I had Emmett I'd have Rose.
"I guess you know I'm going to." she said more reluctant then Jasper. I smiled at my siblings for their help and took Carlisle and Esme's warning thoughts to mind.
It was midday by the time we got to the party. It had just recently started, so we were ok. As we got out of my Volvo and Carlisle's Mercedes people gave us strange looks. We were all covered head to toe with clothes, some more extreme then others. They were mainly looking at Alice of course with her outfit. Sometimes she got out of control like she did today.
While the rest of us dressed as normal as possible, Alice went all out. She wore a long sleeved silk black shirt with silk while pants and of course black high heal shoes. Around her neck she had a white silk scarf and wore a short silk black hoodie. Also she had on white sunglasses with diamonds on them. Then finally the black gloves.
She was soaking in the attention; she saw it coming. When we got to the door we walked in with Jamie's cousins. She was greeting people as they came in and when she saw us hear thoughts matched up with the confused look on her face. "What are you guys wearing? And what are you doing here? When I got up this morning and saw the sun I didn't expect you to show. That's only because I've never seen you when it was sunny outside." she said babbling as her thoughts wondered the same thing.
"Well Jame, we didn't want to miss the get together and the sun does…" I started, but before I could finish Isabelle cut me off with out thinking or warning.
"Well you see it's quite simple Jame." she started out sweetly as all of us wondered what her explanation would be seeing how she was making it up as she went along. " Edward is allergic to the sun, the twins have a rare skin condition from their biological parents, and Alice and Emmett get sun burnt real easy and there is no sun screen strong enough to keep them from burning. It can get so bad that they'll die." All of us just stared at her and the thoughts were unconvinced.
There is no way Jamie will believe that it's a load of crap.
She's kidding right why didn't Edward stop her?
I can't believe she actually is believing her she feels happy that we would go through all this trouble.
Ideate she has to learn to keep her mouth shut now I have to act like I'll die from the sun!!! when she looked at me and saw my face she guessed what we all were thinking.
Sorry dad, I panicked and already interrupted. It was the first thing that came to my mind. I just nodded my head to her saying that I understood and followed Jamie inside relived and shocked she actually believed the lie Isabelle told. Jasper and the others were too but was mad by what they had to pretend to do. She was going to get it from them later; Alice saw it once they decided it.
"So Ed why is it that you never told me you were allergic to the sun?" she asked after we were inside.
"It just never came up." I told her looking for Bella, though I didn't sense her yet.
"Oh, well it's nice to know why your never in the sun." she stated; her thoughts were not as sure as her words. She suspected there was more to my family and believed that I was keeping things from her.
"Jamie, can you please come get your brother, I can't work." her mother yelled from the kitchen. She excused herself from me and my siblings behind. After we split up in groups of two, besides Isabelle and me, I heard a mind I didn't expect.
Yes, Edwards here. Now the fun begins. Little Billy Black thought. I turned in the direction where his thoughts were coming from and saw him smiling a big smile at me. I smiled back as her approached me really excited and wanting to play. "Hey Billy, what are you doing here?" I asked when he finally made it to me.
"Jamie is my cousin silly. We're here to celebrate baby Josh. They won't let me hold him yet." he told me cheerfully and happily; also a little disappointed that he couldn't hold the child. I was shocked by his words. I never pieced together that they were related, just thinking about it felt weird. I knew that Jake's sisters had children, but for them to lead to Jamie was shocking. So I picked the minds determined to figure out how they were related.
"I see you've met my cousin." Jamie said unsurprised walking up from behind carrying Luke. She also pulled me from my trance, but at the same time I smelled the most sweetest scent there ever could be coming up to the house. Along with all the thoughts of observers.
"Actually, I've known your cousin for a while. I just didn't know he was your cousin." I said turning to her calmly as Billy walked up to my side. I hid the stress on my face from everyone in the room except for my siblings; they stared at me with the same look on their face.
"Oh, well he's my cousin." she said jokingly while supporting Josh's head. I smiled at her as she smiled back. She was up at the door now and about to ring the bell. All my siblings stiffened as Isabelle did the exact opposite. Billy was about to ask Jamie a question, but before he could get it out the door bell rung.
I tensed as Jamie went to let Bella in. My siblings made their way back to my side and we watched. Jamie released a hand from Luke and opened the door. "Hey Bella, come in." she said cheerful. As Bella walked through the door she glared at us evilly, but by the way her eyes looked I knew she had been crying.
"This is Luke, my little brother." Jamie said when she saw Bella looking at him. I could see in her eyes and posture that she thought of Isabelle.
"He's cute. One month?" Bella guessed as I walked up. I mainly wanted to get a closer look at her. When her head was down her long black hair got in the way of her beautiful face and I couldn't see Bella. How much I missed her brown hair, I was always picturing her as a brunette; not a black head. I could get use to it I guess, but she didn't look like my Bella with out the brown hair.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" she asked suspiciously as her thoughts trailed off to answer. Bella refused to even gaze at me, I wanted to know why so bad. But I controlled my self. No matter how much I wanted to see into her mind, she'd never let me.
"I've been around lots of babies. I know how to tell." Bella responded. Jamie just smiled and turned to me. A half hour passed before anything big happened and when it happened everything changed.
The three of us were standing around with Jamie's cousin's when her mother called. "Jame, I need you." She rolled her eyes and thought she can't do anything without me. then she looked at Bella. As I read her thoughts I got very nervous she hadn't let go of Luke one minute this whole day and now she planed on giving him to Bella. I was worried about what she would do. I mean I know Bella wouldn't even consider hurting a child, even when she's evil but I was still worried.
"Hey Bella, do you mind holding him for me while I go help my mom?" she asked. Bella hesitated before responding.
"I can't Jame. I haven't held a baby in a long time."
"Jamie, get in here!" her mother yelled.
"Please Bella, just for a minute. I won't be long." Jamie begged her.
"Jamie!!!" Her mom yelled again angrily.
"Coming mom!" Jamie shouted to her. "Please Bella!" she begged again about ready to hand him to me. I don't know what made her motive was, but I hoped what ever it was would help her change.
"Fine, ok" Bella finally said, all my siblings were about to react but held back. Jamie gently gave Luke to Bella and ran to her mother hoping Luke would bring her out more. As everyone went back to what they were doing my siblings and I watched her.
Bella looked down at Luke and for the first time in all these years I saw her smile my favorite smile. She rocked him from side to side and she looked normal. I walked over to Jasper and asked "How does she feel?"
"Happy. It's weird, I have got nothing but negative vibes from her. Now it's like she doesn't care we're here. She's not worrying about us at all." He stated confused as the others listened in.
"And the child?" I asked again not taking my eyes off her.
"You tell me" He stated looking toward me.
" I can only hear his dreams and they're not that exciting." I said not amused.
"He's calm." Jasper stated, but then I heard Alice's thoughts. Not for long. He's going to wake up and cry any minute. Sure enough after a few minutes Luke woke up and started screaming like crazy. In that moment a lot of things happened. Jamie and her mother came running from the kitchen with people behind them. The whole room got silent and Bella started humming her lullaby. She also started rocking Luke to calm him. Everyone watched as Luke calmed down. He liked the rhythm of the song, her soft motherly voice and the coolness of her embrace.
They all stared amazed at Bella, even my family. "How did you calm him so quick? No one besides my mom has ever been able to stop his crying, and even that takes a while." Jamie finally said with amazement.
"I guess I just have away with kids" She responded not looking at Jamie. As Mrs. Nate watched Bella with her son, she thought about how Bella had the mother instinct when it came to a baby. She believed Bella had a child of her own some where.
When Bella went back to humming her lullaby Mrs. Nate asked "What is that your humming to him?"
"Oh, it's my lullaby. It was hummed to me long ago. It helped me sleep and relax." She said calmly while looking at Mrs. Nate.
"Can you play it?" Isabelle asked suddenly. I glared at her and growled only where she could hear. Bella turned to our daughter, who was standing right next to me, and responded.
"No, I'm not that god. I know how to play it, but the one who wrote it for me has more talent and I'd be a disgrace to him if I played it." she stated glancing my way. I gave a little smile, then whipped my head toward my daughter. It's not like you haven't already disgraced him, your playing can't be much worse. In your case though she thought as she gave me a look that she'll pay for later and then walked off.
I quickly turned as I heard Luke's mumbled thoughts. Yet that's not what made me turn. I turned because of the thoughts I was hearing and wasn't suppose to be. Bella's thought's were coming in loud and clear to me . I stared at her curiously and as far as I could tell she didn't know she had let her shield down.
If she did, I knew she wouldn't be thinking what she thought now. Isabella Marie how could you abandon your child. Even if they were to care for her. She is your daughter, your only child. Your miracle and everything good in the world. You truly are evil, but he has raised her well. She's tough, strong and determined just like him. Thank god that she has the heart of the lion and not of the lamb. I was amazed and confused about her thoughts all at the same time. Amazed because she felt she messed up with our daughter. Confused because she believed I've raised Isabelle well and she's more like me. If anything at least she regretted something about turning to the Voltri.
I can't believe I actually remember how to hold a child and know what they want. The last time I took care of a child was Jackie. I told myself I needed to have someone to love and since I knew I'd never have my daughter back I found a substitute. I should have never left Isabelle with him. But I didn't want to take both parents away from her. I would have had to kill him to get her. As I listened to her thoughts I realized she was just as confused as me. She tells her self that she hates me to make herself believe.
She doesn't want to love me or feel guilty about our daughter, but she can't help it. Something tells her she was the wrong one inside. Then she turned to me and I smiled at her just like I use to. I wanted to see how she would react. She turned away quickly and reluctantly. Why did he smile at me? I shouldn't feel weak at the knees. How can he still make me feel vulnerable? He still stops my heart and makes me want him more. How, Why? I chuckled a little and she heard me because in an instant I could no longer hear the mind of the stupid lamb.
A few hours passed as she kept her mind from me and her distance. But the longer she held on to the child the more she started to act like she use to. I wasn't the only one who noticed. "I don't get it. She's so calm and cool. She has no anger or frustration. Though there is confusion and sadness." Jasper stated to me still confused.
"Yeah I know what you mean" I told him just stairing at her as she talked to Jamie. She looked Just like she use to and as vulnerable. I knew I was falling in love with her all over again.
I slowly left Jasper's side and went to Jamie and Bella. "Hey Edward, where have you been?" Jamie asked as I came to stand beside her. She was also glad I came up.
"Around, like always. And trying to guess what people are thinking." I responded staring at Bella.
"How's that going for you?" Bella asked me calmer than I thought she would.
"Not that well. The one mind I still want to here in all the universe, I can't. And I'd trade hearing anyone's mind to hear hers." I said glancing at Bella. She Glanced down knowing I was talking about her. Jamie on the other hand didn't get the notion or thought that I was talking about Bella. He's so sweet, one day maybe I'll let him into the mind he wants to see. She thought as I spoke the words.
Then I started to see tears fall from Bella's face and I imagined what she was thinking. Why me? "Bella, are you ok?" Jamie asked her really concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine." she started hysterically crying. "I just need to go." she finished while handing me Luke. Then she ran out, but while she did she gave me a glimpse of her thoughts. My heart hasn't beat in 120 years Edward and you're the reason. I now have to hold it back from coming out of my chest and you're the reason for that too.
I calmly handed Luke to his sister shocked. Not only because of her thought's though. I couldn't believe it didn't hit me before. Probably because I didn't think it was possible. Now that I think about it though she had plenty of opportunities. And now she was Mine. Chelsea was going to pay for braking my family ties. She's going to die by my hand for ruining my life, making me suffer night after night and day by day for the last 120 years!!!
