Chapter 21

EPOV

I faced my mother and watched her expression. She gasped and her heart monitor beeped loudly, speeding up.

"Edward?" she whispered. 'Is that my baby?'

"It's me, Mom," I said, walking closer. Bella excused herself and walked out.

I sat down in the chair and she grabbed my hand, kissing it. 'So cold.'

"My baby. How is this possible? You were suppose to be dead!" she said with as much strength that she could muster together. I looked down.

"I'm not human any more," I said.

"I guessed that much. But what are you?" she asked. I had to tell her. She was way too observant.

"I'm a vampire," I said, looking up at her, waiting for her reaction. She was silent for a minute, until she broke out into a smile.

"You're still my baby. I don't care, I'm just glad you're alive. I knew, somehow, you were alive. It's a mother's intuition. I'm so glad you got to meet your daughter," she said. I laughed quietly.

"I'm glad, too. She's beautiful, like her mother," I said. She smiled.

"I'm so glad you found Bella again. You two were always perfect for each other. What do you plan to do in the future?" she asked.

I sighed. So like my mother, to ask a question like that on her deathbed.

"I don't know yet. If she still wants me, hopefully, one day I'll marry her," I said.

Mom smiled. She slid her rings off her finger and put them in my hand, closing it around them.

"And marry her you shall," she said.

"Mom, I can't take these. These are yours," I said, trying to give them back. She was having none of that. She shook her head.

"Take them. I want you to give them to her when you're ready. You and Bella and Sophie will be together always. Changer her, if it's possible. Don't let them go, Edward. Keep them with you forever, or however long vampires live. Promise me you'll do that, if they want it," she said.

"Mom, I can't put them in that kind of pain. It's three full days of burning pain. No way could I do that to them," I said.

She smiled at me. "People will do anything for the ones they love," was all she said.

This is what always shocked me about my mother. It's like she was the one who could read minds and see the future.

I took a deep breath and nodded, giving in. This woman knew how to make me agree to things I wouldn't dream of doing.

"I promise," I said. She smiled.

"Can I meet who changed you? I would like to thank them for saving you," she said. I nodded.

Before I could move, everyone came in. Bella stood behind me and Carlisle, Esme, and Alice stood on the other side.

"Mom, this is Carlisle, Esme, and Alice. Alice changed me when I was dying," I said. My mom smiled at them, then turned to Alice.

"Thank you, for saving my son," Mom said.

"No biggie! He's an awesome new brother. It's fun getting on his nerves. Our brother, Emmett teases him all the time. We all love him though," Alice said.

We all laughed.

Then, Mom turned to Carlisle and Esme.

"Please, watch over my son. Keep him safe," she said.

Carlisle and Esme nodded.

"We promise," Esme said.

"Mom," I whispered, willing tears to fall, knowing they wouldn't.

She turned to me and smiled sadly. She touched my cheek.

"I'll be with your dad, Edward. I'm not whole without him. I lost the will to live. It's like you and Bella. She was heartbroken when she thought she lost you. She wasn't whole, like I'm not whole know. But I promise I'll always watch over you," she said.

I sobbed tearless sobs. I laid my head on her chest and she stroked my hair. Carlisle, Esme, and Alice left, taking Sophie with them.

Bella sat down behind me on the bed and laid a hand on my shoulder. I could smell the salty tears coming from her. We listened as my mother's heart monitor began to slow.

"I love you," she said, very weak.

"I love you, too, Mom," I said.

She smiled, and then closed her eyes. Her heart monitor flat lined.

*hides under a rock, watching the angry mob pass me, not noticing me*...okay so don't kill me! But it had to be done, even though I didn't want it to happen, it had to! I'm trying to keep to the books as much as possible! And that means I had to kill off Edward Sr. and Elizabeth! But how bout that chapter? Hehe...*awkward silence as angry mob glares me down*...Okay, don't be too mad! I personally hated the thought that Edward's parents died in the books, but it had to happen! But to get on lighter topics...I have started a new story! And it's awesome if I do say so myself! It's called 'Alternate Eclipse'...now before you assume anything, it's kinda the same as the book and movie (it's a mixture between the two cause I like both the book and the movie), except one small detail...okay a huge detail! Well, we all know Riley from Eclipse...of course we do! Anyways, I was pissed off that SM made him die! I FRIGGIN LOVE RILEY! Almost as much as Edward...haha almost! Anyways...so I wrote a story where...actually I'm not going to give away the ending! Anyways, here's the summary: Starts in all know Riley,Victoria's ,what if Riley was actually Bella's older brother?Follows the events of Eclipse,but has a slightly different Riley remember his little sister?Or will his 'love' for Victoria rule out?...So yeah! Go read it! I'm posting the next chapter to it after I finish updating this story! I've gotten like 20 reviews in 2 days, which I think is a good thing, considering I usually get only 5 or 6 a week on my one-shots! But this isn't a one-shot! It's going to be a full story! Not as long as 'My Baby' but a very nice length! So go read it and tell me what you think! Review guys! Love yall!
