Decisions

BellaPOV

" I am so sorry Alice," I whispered as we sped through town.

" For what. If we weren't vampires, none of this would have happened. If everything in the world was natural. Everything would be much simpler," Alice said squeezing the wheel. She looked anxious.

" Yes but if you guys weren't vampires, I would never have met you," I said.

" Well, it doesn't matter now. We just have to think this over. We, of course, are used to moving, but the hundred-year ban is going to be difficult. Forks is practically the only place where we are really safe," Alice mused as she turned into her driveway.

Soon, Alice pulled into the garage. Edward was waiting. As soon as I had stepped out of the car he was there.

" What happened? I just got an urgent call from Alice saying to pick up Jasper and gather the family," Edward demanded pulling me into a hug. Then he looked down into my eyes. He saw the tears.

" What did the mutt do?" he shouted. The shout alerted the family and all the Cullens ran out followed by Jasper.

" Nothing," I said, " Well something but Alice can explain,"

Edward's eyes narrowed but Alice put up one finger.

" In the lounge room," she said. We all walked into the lounge room. Edward kept his arm firmly around my waist. Jasper knew Alice was upset and held her hand as they walked.

Once we were all seated, Alice began.

" Jacob has talked to his pack and they have decided to pardon Emmett, Jasper and Bella's transformations," Alice started. Edward looked quizzically at me as the rest started to cheer.

" Why is that upsetting?" Edward asked.

" There are conditions," I said glumly, clutching Edward's hand.

" How bad?" Emmett asked.

" Well, there are two. The first is quite simple to obey. We must not create another immortal after Bella," Alice explained.

" I still don't see the problem. We weren't going to make another immortal after Bella anyway," Esme said quietly from her place next to Carlisle on the couch.

" It is the second condition that is the problem," I said hoarsely.

" The wolves have decided that we are to move directly after we change Bella. And we can't come back for one hundred years," Alice finished.

" Like they could possibly force us out," Rosalie scoffed.

" It is that or they start the war," Alice said softly. Jasper's jawed tensed, probably at the thought of his Alice in a war.

" And we don't want to start a war," Carlisle said sternly, his gaze directed at Emmett who had started to open his mouth.

" I still don't see the problem," Jasper said.

" Jazz, we can't see Dad ever again. Not even check on him. He will be dead by the time we can return," I said, my voice straining as I tried to keep the tears at bay.

" You wouldn't be able to see him anyway. After you get changed," Esme said slightly confused.

" But I would still be able to watch over him," I said.

" Oh," was all she said.

" There is also the problem of Forks being one of the only safe places for us to live," Alice said.

" One hundred years is a long time. Even to an immortal," Esme said.

" Yes, I am not even one hundred yet," Alice said smiling slightly.

" We have to agree though," Carlisle said.

At that moment the twins walked in.

" And what time do you call this?" Esme said slightly angry.

" Sorry Esme, we got caught up," Ruby said giggling slightly. Jade grinned.

" I don't want to know," Esme said, " Please sit down,"

" Some kind of meeting?" Jade asked.

" Yes, the wolves have agreed to leave us alone if we leave once we have changed Bella. We have to leave for one hundred years," Carlisle explained. The twins' faces fell.

" But what about Tanner and Bailey?" Ruby asked.

" Wait, you haven't changed your last names to Cullen have you? You are still Pattinson?" I asked.

" Yes," Jade said cautiously.

" Well we could take it literally. They said the Cullens had to move, not the Pattinsons," I said. Jade and Ruby started to smile but Alice sighed.

" You do realise that would only mean Carlisle, Esme, Edward and Bella," Alice said.

" What?" I asked. Edward groaned.

" Of course. When Alice and Rosalie get married, their names change to Swan," Edward explained. My shoulders dropped.

" We would never do that to you Bells," Jasper said.

" Yeah, we would never leave you just so we can stay with Dad," Emmett said. I smiled slightly.

" Bella, I know this is hard for you to understand but your Dad will die eventually. Even if we move away for one hundred years or not. You will out live him," Carlisle said softly. I sighed but nodded.

" I know, I just don't want to have to say goodbye I guess," I said sadly.

" We all did it. It is just apart of our lives," Rosalie said slightly frustrated. Emmett placed a hand on her lap.

" So who is going to tell the mutts that we agree?" Alice asked. Jasper and I frowned.

" Um, there is still the problem of us leaving our mates," Ruby said angrily, " It is all fine for you. You have your mates,"

" They could come with us," I said.

" Oh yeah, and live with a family of vampires," Ruby scoffed. I humphed.

" And they wouldn't leave their family," Jade said.

" We will talked to Jake about it," Jasper said, " Well, I'll talk to Jake about it,"

" I want to come," I said, " I need to thank him for dinner,"

" Let's go," Jasper said taking my hand. I kissed Edward's cheek and we ran outside.

" Jazz?" I asked as we sped down the Cullens driveway once more. It was now 11 o'clock.

" Yes," he answered.

" What do you think it will be like? You know, saying goodbye to Dad forever, without really saying anything?" I asked gazing out of the window.

" I really don't know sis. It will be sad, for sure. You should ask Edward or Alice they'll know. They have done it before," Jasper replied.

" Yeah, but it wasn't their parents they were saying goodbye to. I mean Edward's parents were already dead and Alice's had already said goodbye," I said playing with my locket.

" I guess. Ask Emmett he already has," Jasper said pulling into Jacob's driveway. I nodded, biting my lip.

" Come on let's go," Jasper said leading the way up to their front door. Jazz knocked and we waited.

Finally we heard footsteps and then the door swung open. But it wasn't Jacob or Billy. It was a man about the age of 25. He had black hair that was cropped short and dark blue eyes. He was shaking slightly. He sniffed and the shaking doubled.

" Who are you?" he asked. Jacob appeared beside him.

" Oh hey Bella, Jasper," he said, " This is Sam,"

" Wasn't he the old Alpha?" Jasper asked looking Sam up and down.

" Yes I was and I have come back. I am Alpha again," he said superiorly.

" Can we please talk to Jake?" I asked.

" No, he is busy," Sam said.

" He is right behind you," Jasper frowned.

" We have just had two guys phase for the first time. We are very busy," Jacob explained.

" Oh well it will just take a moment," Jasper said taking a step towards the door. Sam stuck his arm out.

" Sorry, no can do. When we are like this you and your bloodsucker friends are the enemy. Please leave before we hurt you," Sam growled.

" The enemy?" I asked looking at Jake. He gave me an apologising look.

" Is the deal still standing?" Jasper asked. Jacob nodded once.

" Well then we will come back tomorrow," Jasper said curtly and turned towards the car.

" Bye Jake. I had a great time tonight," I said.

" Please leave," Sam said urgently.

" I am going god. I can see we are not going to get along," I said rasing my eyebrows.

" We were never going to get along. You hang out with leeches," Sam said and slammed the door in my face. I huffed and ran to our car.

" Well, he was a nasty piece of work," I said closing the door.

" Hmm, we will have to tell the Cullens," Jasper said starting the engine and pulling out of the driveway.

" Yeah, we will come back tomorrow," I mused, " I wonder who the new werewolves are? The Cullens will need to know that there are more of them now,"

" Yeah, I wonder why there are so many," Jasper thought out loud.

" Because the Cullens are multiplying," he said smiling. I giggled.

" And it is all our fault. The harmless, innocent humans," I laughed. Jasper smiled and we sped back to the Cullens.

A/N: Hey everyone, yeah this is a little weird I know but trust me it will all make sense. Oh and soon I will be skipping maybe a year to Alice and Jasper's wedding.
