Hey peeps, here is another chapter for y'all. Like I said I was going to skip to when Bella is four almost five. I know I did not say when her birthday is and I am sorry for that. Its September 13th. So here you go. Enjoy.
Chapter 15: Almost school time
Edward's P.O.V
Well its July 31st almost time for us to start school again which I don't know what the point is because we are going to be moving in a year time. Bella is growing so fast. She will have start kindergarten here in Forks but then we will have to leave during the summer before people start to notice that we are not aging. We still have not told Bella what we are yet but we are planing to do that for her birthday in little over a months time. She is so smart. But living in a house full of vampires that have been around a long time you would be smart to. She can count to 100 without stopping, say her ABC's without stopping and so on. She may even be to advance for kindergarten. We have grown closer but she has also grown closer to Rose also. She always wants me and Rose to play with her all the time. I have been working with her on how to play the piano and she loves it. She can play a few songs.
Now soon we are going to start school and Bella can't wait. They are letting her start at 4 but soon she will be five. Dad talked to the school and they tested Bella and said that she could start a year early. See with her turning five when she does she would have had to wait to start next year but you know dad so he got her in a four. There is one good thing about her starting early, she wont have Mike or Jess to mess with her. Dad also helped the Webber's get Angela in because she is just as smart as Bella and we wanted to her have a friend in school. So today we are going school shopping. Me and my brothers and sisters are starting also. Me and Alice are starting in the 11th and Rose and Em are in 12th. I hate school but I will be able to go see Bella at lunch time with Alice to make sure she is doing good. Bella should be getting up soon.
I looked at the time and sure enough it was going on 8 and we heard Bella moving around. I started to head upstairs when Rose stopped me.
"Edward, you know what Bella told you. Not to come in when she is getting dressed. She is getting so big. I want out Baby Bella back," Rose told me then she did something that she never do, she gave me a hug.
I patted her hair and smiled.
"Yeah Rose, I miss the baby Bella also but she has to grow and with our help she will grow to be a very smart lady. I only have one thing that bothers me and that is when we tell her what we are she is not going to want to stay with us. But then again she can surprise me like always and just accept us for who we are," I told Rose.
"I know what you mean Edward. I also feel bad for Jazz right now. He is trying but her scent is getting stronger and he is having troubles with it. He talks to me telling me that he don't want to hurt Bella's feelings but he is just having troubles. I told him that she will understand when we tell her what we are. He just smiled at me and left to find Alice. Do you know if mom and dad decided where we are moving to yet?" Rose asked me.
"They have been talking about moving to Alaska with Kate, Eleazar, and Carmen for a couple of years and they have other places also in mind but have not decided yet," I told her.
Just then Bella came downstairs carrying her teddy bear that I gave her when she was one. She smiled at me and Rose.
"Good morning Edward and good morning mom. So what are we doing today?" Bella asked us.
"We have to go school shopping for you and us today. School starts next Monday so we have to get you ready and us ready to start," I told her.
"Edward, can I talk to you for a minute please?" she asked me.
I looked at Rose and she smiled at me and went to go find Emmett.
"Yeah honey, what do you want to talk about?" I asked her.
Just then mom called Bella to the kitchen.
"Mom, I will be there in a minute, I need to talk to Edward for a minute," Bella told mom.
Then Bella grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs and into her room where she closed the door. She the pushed me to the rocking chair and made me sit then she climbed into my lap. She start to play with the hem of her clothes acting all nervous and all.
"Honey, what do you want to talk about?" I asked her again.
"Well, I have some questions that I wanted to ask for a long time and I don't know how to start," she told me.
"Well start at the beginning," I told her.
"Um well, when I was one and yes I remember I seen somethings I'm not sure if I saw it right or not. One day I saw uncle Jazz outside with aunt Alice and they were shinning in the sun. Then one night I was in bed and I came out and saw you move really fast. About a year ago I saw mommy Rose move real fast also. Also why is everyone skin cold unlike mine is warm?" She asked me.
"Well Bella, we were going to wait to tell you something when you turn five but it looks like you have been watching us without us knowing. Hey, let me talk to dad and we will all tell you what is up with us okay?" I asked her.
"Okay Edward, I am going to go eat and then I hope you all tell me what is going on," she told me.
She gave me a hug and hopped off my lap and out the door. I went upstairs to dads office to talk to him. I got to his door and started to knock. He told me to come in and I did.
"Hey son, what may I do for you?" dad asked me.
"Well, I just found out from Bella that she has seen us do stuff that others don't do. She told me when she was one that she saw Alice and Jasper sparkle in the sun. Then she saw me move fast and she seen Rose about a year ago do the same thing move really fast. I think we need to talk to her now and not wait any longer because she is already asking questions. I thought we have been careful around her but I guess we have not been," I told dad.
"Well, when she gets done eating then we will have a family talk," Dad told me.
"Okay dad, then I will see you downstairs soon," I told him.
I then got up and walked out. I went downstairs where Alice was smiling at me and I knew she knew what was going to happen soon. I sat down on the couch then and wait till Bella got done. Then dad came down and joined us. He call e for Rose and Em to come and join us also. They sat down on the other couch while Alice and Jazz were siting on the couch with me. Then mom and Bella came out. Bella saw us looking at her and blushed a deep red before coming to me. I helped her onto me and she smiled. I looked at dad then after mom sat next to him.
"Well family, we need to talk. Bella has been asking questions this morning and I decided that we should tell her what is going on. Okay Bella, you talked to Edward asking him questions about us. Do you know what vampires are?" Dad asked her.
She looked at all of us and nodded her head then she had a shiver go though her and I gave Em a death stare.
"Yes, uncle Em and I watched a movie with them in it. It scared me very bad. That is why I had someone with me at night for a long time when I was three," she told us.
"Emmett, when was this and why did you do that?" mom asked him.
"Well, I told her not to tell but with Alice and Edward and her telling on me I knew it would get to you two. I thought it would be fun that is why I did it. Then she would not sleep without someone in the room with her and I just laughed. Since then she just stays away from me when she can," Em told mom.
"Well Bella, the ones on TV are not going to get you. Anyways honey, we are not going to hurt you and have not hurt you since you joined our family. Bella, before I tell you do you know what secrets are?" dad asked her.
"Yes, I know what they are now. They are things people tell you and you can not tell no one unless they tell you its okay to," Bella told dad.
"Okay honey, then we have a really big secret. You have to promise not to tell anyone what I am about to tell you. See if you told anyone about what I am going to tell you then you can be taken from us and we don't want that and I know you don't want that either. So keep this one and never tell anyone not even Angela. Honey, your family here we are vampires, but we are not going to hurt you. We are good vampires. Edward told me that you seen Alice and Jazz sparkle in the sun and you seen Edward and Rose move really fast that is because of what we are. Do you understand? Do you have any questions for us?" dad asked Bella.
"I do understand now. I knew something was not right and I am not scared. Is there bad vampires out there? How do you become a vampire?" Bella asked.
"Bella, there is bad vampires out there but we will protect you and when you get a little older then we will tell you how to be like us," Dad told her.
I did not like that idea at all. I don't want Bella to be like us and be damned to hell like we are. No that will never happen if I have any say in it. Then Jasper stood up took a deep breath and got on his knees in front of us.
"Bella, I have something to say and please don't be upset. See honey, I used to be a bad vampire when I was younger but now I am a good one or at least I try to be. I know you noticed that I have been staying away from you, that is because as you get older your scent is getting stronger and I am having troubles with it. I hate to admit it but I am. So if you don't see me around a lot or if I don't play with you like I used to please don't be mad at me. I am just trying to keep you safe from me. I would never forgive myself if I ever hurt you and well the family would not let me exits if I ever hurt you. Do you understand honey?" Jasper asked her.
"I do now. I thought I made you mad somehow and I wanted to see what I did but I stayed away. But will I see you? Also can I give you a hug before you start staying away from me anymore?" Bella asked with tears in her eyes.
Jasper smiled really big at her then he turned his head and took a deep breath and held it. Then he got up and grabbed Bella up into a big hug and held her for a little bit. If we could cry we would all be crying. I can feel the prickly feeling in my eye but I knew no tears would fall. Then Jasper gave Bella a kiss on the forehead, wiped away a couple of tears from her check and gave her back to me. Then Bella hid her face and I felt her start to cry a little harder and that just made all of want to cry with her. I rubbed her back for a little. Then Alice lean over.
"Edward, take her upstairs to let everything sink in. Then here in a few we will all leave to go shopping," Alice told me in my ear.
I smiled at her and picked up a still crying Bella and took her to her room. I then sat in the rocking chair and just let Bella cry. I hummed her song to her while she cried.
Jasper's P.O.V.
I watched Edward carry a crying Bella up to her room and I put my face into my hands while I dry sobbed feeling so week. I felt Alice rubbing my back but that did not help any. I then felt some others hands on me and I heard mom shushing me while she was dry sobbing also. I just hate feeling so week. We found out the other day that Edward is having troubles also and he is having more trouble with Bella scent and we found out that Bella's blood is singing to Edward. Bella is Edward's singer and yet he is still staying with her. Why can I not do that, I just don't understand. I then looked up and saw everyone was looking at me and feeling very sad and bad for me. I gave them a week smile and then me and Alice went to our room so I can try to pull myself together.
Rose's P.O.V.
We just told Bella that we are vampires and she has accepted us. Now she is in her room with Edward crying because of what Jasper had to tell her. We are all dry sobbing a little over that but everything will be okay I hope. I looked at the time and it was going on noon now and I knew Bella would be getting hungry so I got up and walked into the kitchen to fix her some lunch. I fixed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a glass of milk. Then I came out of the kitchen with it and took off upstairs to take it to her. I also wanted to see how she was doing. I knocked on the door and I heard Edward say come in. I opened the door and saw Edward and Bella in the rocking chair. When Bella saw me she smiled at me. Her eyes were still red from crying but she looked like she felt somewhat better.
"Honey, I thought you might be getting hungry so I fixed you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and brought you a glass of milk," I told her.
She then got off of Edward and went to sit at her little table. So I put her plate and glass on the table and then she got up and reached for me to pick her up. So I did and she gave me a big hug.
"Mommy, I love you very much. Thank you for bringing my food. Will you stay in here with me and Edward?" she asked me.
I smiled at her then I went to sit on her bed. Me and Edward talked a little while Bella ate. When she was done she looked at me.
"Are we still going shopping for school stuff?" she asked me.
"Yeah honey, when every you are ready then well all go," I told her.
"I am ready to go. Is aunt Alice and Uncle Jazz coming with us?" she asked me.
"That I know of yes. So lets wash your face and brush your hair again then well head downstairs with the family," I told her.
She smiled and then started to eat again. When she got done Edward grabbed up her dishes and then I went and got a washcloth and her hairbrush. I came back and she was playing with her teddy bear. I got down on her level and grabbed her face and started to wash it. When I got do she kissed me on my check. Then I started to brush her long hair. When we got done we got up and left her room. We walked downstairs where the family was waiting for us. She saw Jasper and smiled at him. Then he did something that I did not expect, he came up to her and picked her up and started to hug her. She hugged him back starting to cry again.
"Bella I am so sorry to make you cry earlier. Me and Alice talked and she told me that I can be near you. She and the family will help me and we can be friends again. I just can't be by myself with you but other than that we can hang out and if it gets to much then I will tell you and walk away to keep you safe. I love you little girl and I don't want to be away from you if I don't have to," Jasper said.
Bella hugged him some more then Alice stood up.
"Okay guys, lets go shopping," Alice told us.
We all laughed and got up to leave. Edward, Bella, me and Em are going in Edward's car and mom, dad, Alice, and Jasper are riding with mom and dad. We all walked out of the house and got into the cars we were riding in. Then we were off to the mall in Seattle. 30 minutes later we were pulling into the mall parking lot.
Edward's P.O.V.
We pulled into the mall parking lot and started to get out. I grabbed Bella out and she smiled really big. She then started to walk to Alice and Jasper and Bella being Bella tripped over her own feet and Jazz caught her before she could hit the ground. We laughed and Jasper stood her up and smiled at her. She then grabbed his hand and we all walked in. We started to go shopping then. I went with mom and dad to help them get Bella's stuff together. We walked into the the school shop. Mom had Bella's school supplies list and we started to shop for her stuff. Bella picked out purple backpack that had Cinderella on it. We spent a little longer in there and we picked all the stuff that she needed and we picked up somethings I needed. The others can get their own stuff.
We paid for the stuff and I took it out to the car while they went clothes shopping. I walked back in and went to find my family but then something hit me. I went the other way then and found the jewelry store. I looked for awhile and found a charm that I wanted to get Bella. It was a school book that was black and gold. I paid for it. Then I went to find my family again. I found all of them in the same clothing store. Alice had already a big buggy full of clothes for her and Jasper. I saw mom, dad, Rose, Em, and Bella looking at clothes for Bella. They had picked out a lot of clothes that I am sure Alice had a say in. Then I started to look for new school clothes for myself.
We were in the mall for a long time and it was getting late. So we paid for the stuff we had and then we went to our cars. Rose put Bella in her seat and then we were off back home. We got home around 5:30 pm. Bella fell asleep and Rose grabbed her out and woke her up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. She saw that she was home. Then her stomach growled and we all laughed. She just blushed and hid her face in Rose's long hair. We got everything in the house and put up while mom fixed Bella diner. Bella was sitting on me and then looked at all of us.
"Why do you all not eat when I eat?" Bella asked.
"Well honey, we can't eat human food. We have to drink animal blood. If we eat food it makes us sick and it don't taste good to us," I told her.
She just nodded and then got an evil look. She looked at Em and smiled really big. I think that is the first time I seen Em go paler than normal and he kinda looked scared. I just laughed and then Bella got down from me and walked over to him.
"Uncle Em, I dare you to eat dinner with me and not get sick for an hour then you can get rid of it," Bella told him.
Everyone knows Emmett and he accepted the dare being the goof ball that he is. Mom called Bella to eat then we all went in the dinning room. Mom looked at us.
"Whats going on?" mom asked.
"Bella dared me to eat diner with her and me not being a chicken accepted the dare," Em told mom.
So she went into the kitchen and fixed him a plate of mac and cheese, hotdog and apple juice. He sat down and she put the plate in front of him. We all watched him eat making faces all the way though then him and Bella got done at the same time. I looked at the time and it was 6pm.
"Now Em, remember that you have to hold it in for an hour or we will come up with something worse than eating food," I told him.
He looked at me and he looked like he will not make it for an hour. We all sat down talking and watching TV. Then the clock struck 7pm and Em was up out of his seat at vampire speed and went into the guest bathroom to get the food off his stomach. We all heard him getting sick and we all laughed. He came out after a little bit looking much better. He sat down next to Rose and smiled.
"That was me getting you back Em. Edward told me what you did to me when I was one with red bull. So you do something to me then be ready for me to get you back," Bella told him.
He just smiled at her and looked at the TV. We all watched TV for awhile. Bella yawned then and I looked at her.
"Bella honey, are you ready for bed?" I asked her.
"Yes I am. I want a bath first then I will be ready for bed," she told me.
Then Rose and mom got up and they walked upstairs with Bella. I looked at Jasper and his eyes were almost black even tho he went hunting a week ago. He looked at me and Em and I read his mind then. He wanted us guys to go hunting with dad.
"Dad, Em, do you two want to go hunting with me and Jasper?" I know its been a week but he needs to hunt and he wanted us guys to go with him," I told them.
Dad and Em both nodded and then dad went upstairs along with Alice to tell them that we were going hunting and that we will be back before morning. Dad came back down and I heard Bella ask mom and them a question about us going hunting. They told her that us guys were going to go drink. I saw though Rose's mind that Bella just nodded. I smiled and we took out the door to go hunt.
Esme's P.O.V.
Me and Rose gave Bella a bath while Alice fixed her bed and got out her night clothes. I carried Bella out of the bathroom and sat her on her bed. She dressed herself and we all stayed in there taking turns reading a book to her. Then she fell asleep with a smile on her face. We left her room and went downstairs to talk and whatever we want while the guys are out. I then decided I wanted to go swim in our pool that we have for two years now. Rose and Alice joined me then. We played in the pool while Bella slept.
Well there you go peeps. I hope you like. Please tell me what y'all think of it. Thanks for reading and voting and fanning me. Love JenCullen28
