Chapter 3

Family Reunion

Previously:

"Em, I want you to make love to me tonight. I want you to make me forget the pain and replace it. I never want to feel this way again."

He looked at me shocked. I knew that I had rendered him speechless. That was a great fete for Emmet.

"Baby, are you sure?" he looked at me with love and hope in his eyes.

I looked back at him and smiled.

"Yes, baby I'm sure."

I don't think I've ever seen this big hulk of a man move so fast. He had me off his lap and standing in front of him.

"Bella, baby, I want this to be perfect. I'm not saying I don't want to do this. I'm just saying not this way. Let me plan something romantic. Please Bells?" he gave me the pleading puppy dog eyes.

"Ok, you win. Not tonight, but please baby make it soon." I stood up on my tip-toes to kiss him.

He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me off the floor. Instinctively I wrapped my legs around him to balance myself and as soon as I started kissing him I heard someone clear their throat.

"As much as I hate to interrupt you two, Bella, you have a visitor." Carlisle said to me. I saw the laughing in his eyes.

"Thanks, Carlisle." I tried to jump out of Emmet's arms but he wouldn't let me go. "Babe, you have to let me down." I heard him sigh and he let me down but still kept one arm around me.

We walked down the main stairs and I saw my bio-dad, Charlie standing there. I let go of Emmet and went running to my dad.

"DADDY!" I think I startled everyone when I went into this strange mans arms. I turned around with Charlie's arms still wrapped around me.

"Everyone this is my dad, Charlie Swan. He's the chief of police in Forks, Washington." My friends look stunned except Emmet and Alice. I've told them tons about my dad. I used to visit him every summer until my mom married Aro. They refused to let me go see him anymore. It's been almost 3 years since I've seen my dad.

"Dad, this is Emmet." I reached my hand out to him and he walked up and shook my dad's hand.

"Its nice to meet you, sir." Emmet look scared. My big hunk of a man was scared of my dad. Edward and Jasper were going to give him hell over this.

"This is the rest of the Crew, Dad." I pointed to them as I said their names. "The blonde guy is Jasper, he's dating my best friend Alice, the cute little pixie. The blonde girl next to him is his twin sister, Rosalie, she's dating Edward. His parents are Carlisle and Esme. That who I've been staying with."

"Bells, I got a phone call from your mother last week." my stomach dropped.

"Oh really? What lies did she tell you this time?" I spat at him. The only person who could ruin my happy mood was my mother.

"She said you accused Aro of molesting you. Is it true? Did he hurt you?"

"Dad, why don't you ask my doctor?" I pointed at Carlisle. "He treated me when I came to the hospital with a broken jaw and multiple internal bruises from the beatings I got from him." I was sobbing again and Emmet was trying to hold me up. He finally gave up and picked me up and went to the couch and sat down with me in his lap. I looked at my dad and he looked murderous.

"Isabella Marie Swan! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU CALL ME TO COME GET YOU OUT OF THIS MESS? I HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD FROM YOU IN ALMOST THREE YEARS. WHAT THE FUCK?"

I have never heard my dad blow up that bad at anything. I knew he was pissed. I looked at him with tears streaming down my face. I stood up and walked toward him. Emmet was the only one who kinda knew what was about to happen, only because I went off on him once.

"YOU KNOW WHAT DAD? DID YOU EVER THINK THAT THE REASON I HADN'T BEEN TO VISIT IS BECAUSE OF THEM? THEY BEARLY LET ME OUT OF THE HOUSE. YOU CAN ASK ANY PERSON HERE. I WAS ON LOCKDOWN 24-7 SO ARO COULD USE ME AS HIS FUCKING PLAY TOY. DO YOU THINK I DIDN'T WANT TO CALL YOU? I WANTED TO EVERYDAY BUT I COULDN'T BECAUSE HE MONITORED ALL MY PHONE CALLS. I DIDN'T HAVE A CELL PHONE UNTIL A WEEK AGO AND THAT WAS THANKS TO ALICE AND EMMET! SO DO NOT TRY TO PUT THIS SHIT ON ME! I WENT THROUGH A LIVING HELL THE LAST 2 YEARS!"

I was so exhausted after my rant that I passed you in the middle of the living room. I woke up and Emmet was next to me looking very worried. I smiled up at him.

"Hi baby. Where's my dad? I really need to apologize to him for going off like I did." Emmet looked at me with pain in his eyes.

"Your dad left after you passed out. He said something about going back home and then to the Rez to get someone named Billy and his son Jake. He did say to tell you he's sorry and that he will be back."

"He went home to get Billy and Jake. OH SHIT! That's my dad's best friend and his son. Its not a good thing that they are coming here. Jake is only 13 but he's about as big as you. Something tells me my dad is gonna go after Aro."

I sat there thinking as Emmet went to tell the others. I hadn't seen Billy Black and his son Jacob since my last trip to see my dad. Jake was like my best friend in Forks. I had missed him in my two years away. I know it could be disastrous for him, Billy, and my dad to be here, but they were family and I needed to see them. I grabbed my cell and dialed their number.

"Black residence, this is Jake."

"Jake, it's Bella."

"Bells is that really you? Your dad just got here and told us some shit about Aro and your mom. Are you ok?"

"Yeah Jakey its me. Everything my dad told you is true. I'm ok now. I'm living with friends and their parents."

"Bells we're coming to see you."

"REALLY! WHEN?"

"We're leaving in 5. I can't wait to see you baby girl."

"I can't wait to see you either Jake. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah expect us early, I'm driving. I love you Bells"

"I'll be here waiting Jake. I love you too."

As I hung up I notice Emmet in the doorway. I motioned for him to come in and shut to door.

"Baby, my dad, Billy and Jake are headed here. I need to get some sleep so I can see them in the morning. Will you stay with me and hold me? It seems only you can keep the dreams away."

"Of course I'll stay with you Bella. I'll always be here for you. I love you."

"I love you too Em."

I laid there in his arms and drifted off into a peaceful sleep wondering what tomorrow would hold for me.
