Chapter 5: Unexpected
Renesmee's POV
"Renesmee, have you ever talked to anyone about this? Sometimes it really helps to talk about what happened" Carlisle asked.
"Well I've talked to my parents about it. But there the only ones that I've spoken to about this" I said.
"Did you personally know the guys who did this?" he asked.
"I didn't know them personally. I just knew them from school. Royce King IV always had an obsessive interest in me but I'd have never thought that he would take it this far. I think that he's the father because there's a history of identical twins on his side of the family" I said.
His eyes widened in surprise at the mention of Royce's name.
"Did you say Royce King?" he asked.
"Yes" I said slowly as I wondered at his reaction.
"Where are you from Renesmee?" he asked.
"I'm from Rochester New York. Why?" I asked as my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"I thought that the name Royce King died in the 1930s" he said.
"Not exactly. There was a Royce King in the 30s. He was engaged to a young girl named Rosalie Hale who died mysteriously in 1933. Not long after his fiancé died he started bragging about how he had been seeing another girl who was even prettier than her, at the same time that he had been engaged to Rosalie Hale. He had also impregnated this girl when his fiancé was alive" I said.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked.
"Yes, my great grandmother, Vera, was best friends with Rosalie Hale back then. She told that story a million times. I can't count the number of times that I heard that story. She spoke very highly of Rosalie even after all this time" I said sadly. My great grandma had died just a few years ago and I still missed her very much.
He hadn't expected that answer at all. That much was clear.
"Did she ever tell you anything else?" he asked.
"She always suspected that her fiancé had something to do with her death but she could never prove it. She said that she never liked Royce King" I said. "You could always ask my grandpa Henry. He probably knows more than me. Why so many questions about this?" I asked.
"I'm just merely curious" he said. "I think I should get going now, my family is expecting me home soon" he said.
I hugged him again before he left. "Thanks for coming by" I said.
"I just couldn't leave things that way. I needed to apologize for the mistake I made" he said.
"Well thanks anyways, most doctors wouldn't bother to go through the trouble of finding me just to apologize" I said.
He smiled back at me. "I'm not most doctors, especially when it comes to you" he said "and don't forget to come by at ten tomorrow" he added before leaving.
"I won't" I answered.
I went to bed after he left because I was starting to feel very tired from the day's events. I woke up feeling more refreshed than I had ever felt in a long time. I quickly got ready before heading to the Dr. Cullen's office again. I ended up taking about an hour there before leaving.
After that I went to the store to pick up some of the things that I needed. I also bought some gender neutral toys and clothes for my babies that I just thought was cute.
I kept thinking about the way that Dr. Cullen first reacted to my pregnancy. I didn't understand why he reacted that way at all. The way their whole family acted around me was to weird. I just didn't understand them at all.
I was so absorbed in the mysteries of the Cullen family that I didn't even notice that the floor was wet until it was too late. I slipped and crashed right into a display of DVDs effectively knocking the entire display over. I instinctively threw my hands out in front of me to protect my unborn babies. Suddenly a pair of strong, warm hands caught me and prevented me from face planting myself on the floor.
"Are you okay miss?" came a husky voice that I assumed belonged to the owner of these nicely muscled arms.
"I'm fine" I said. I turned around and looked right at my savior. My eyes marveled over his six pack and nicely muscled arms. I looked all over his tanned body and finally stopped as I made eye contact with his beautiful black eyes. His eyes went from looking dead to suddenly full of light and life. He kneeled down on one knee as he looked at me. It was like he was seeing the sun for the first time. For the first time in a long time I actually felt happy, even if it was only for a second.
"Hi, I'm Renesmee" I said to break the awkward silence I was just beginning to notice.
"Hi Renesmee, I'm Jacob Black" he said.
"Well thanks. I should probably get going now" I said. I started walking away when I felt him grab my shoulder.
"Don't leave" he said in a way that made it sound like it would hurt him if I left. "I want to get to know you more" he added.
"I don't think you'd be interested in a girl like me" I said.
Now he looked upset. "Why would you say that? You don't even know me or what my interests are" he said.
"I'm pregnant with twins. Trust me, you don't want to be tied down to a girl in my situation when you can have so much better" I said.
His expression was unreadable now. "Are you dating someone then?" he asked.
"No. The father wants nothing to do with me" I said. I didn't have to tell him my whole story. He looked relieved.
"I'm still interested in you pregnant or not" he said. "at least give me a chance" he said.
Should I give him a chance? I'm not exactly emotionally stable right now. He could do so much better than a broken girl like me. A girl who may never run right again. At the same time, what do I have to lose? Maybe it would be good for me. I could go on a couple of dates with him and then see what happens. Right?
"please" he said. I think he could tell that he was winning me over.
"Okay Jacob, here's my number" I said. His smile reminded me of a child on Christmas morning.
"Can I see you tonight?" he asked.
"Maybe" I said.
"Come on" he pouted playfully.
"Okay fine, call me later and we'll set up a place and time" I said.
He smiled brightly again before leaving.
I couldn't believe that this tall, handsome guy wants to see me. Me, the pregnant girl carrying twins. I've never known a guy that would want a girl in my situation.
Then another thought entered my head. What if he just wants to use me? What if he just wants me for sex? Maybe he wouldn't take me seriously.
I wasn't sure what to think by that point. I decided that I should give him a chance and just be careful.
Bella's POV
Back to the night before….
After all these years, I couldn't believe that after all these years I'm seeing my daughter again. My little girl, my little nudger. It was a shock to all of us that she would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Not even Alice saw her coming because she hadn't been watching out for her future. We had decided since a long time ago that we were never going to interfere in her life. So we had even asked Alice not to watch out for her future. We never thought that we'd see her again.
Giving her up was a tough decision for Edward and I, but we felt that it was best for her. Somehow the vampire genes skipped her completely and she was rendered completely human. We didn't want to risk that we accidentally hurt her one day or that the Volturi ever found out about her. No doubt that Aro would want to covet her as one of his prized possessions if he ever learned of her existence.
The moment that I heard her babies hearts beating my world stopped. I had wanted her to have a good future. I wanted her to go to college, get a good career, and then marry and have children. I know it sounds hypocritical coming from me, but I wanted her to experience that. Her adoptive parents had promised that she would go to college and have a good life. I never wanted her to get pregnant this young. What was she thinking?! How could she throw her entire future away that way?! She ruined her own life. What went wrong? Where did her parents go wrong? What was she thinking? She could have at least used protection.
Everyone else felt the same way. Edward even more so. He wants to find out who the father is so he can strangle the guy. He's so upset that her parents let her go off on her own to. He feels that she will make more 'mistakes' now that she's unsupervised. Although I don't understand how that's possible seeing that she's already pregnant with twins.
The door suddenly opened revealing a very upset looking Carlisle. I wondered what was wrong. It takes a lot to unsettle him.
"What's wrong Carlisle?" I asked. Everyone else looked just as worried as I felt.
"I made a very upsetting discovery concerning Renesmee" he said looking very emotional.
I went into very worried momma bear mode now.
"What's wrong with her?!" I demanded.
"What are you hiding?! Why are you trying so hard to hide your thoughts?" asked Edward.
"I had Renesmee as a patient a few hours ago. I don't know how to say this. This is very hard to say" he said. He looked like he wanted to cry.
"What's wrong Carlisle?" asked Esme.
"We misjudged her badly. She's only pregnant because she was, she was….. gang raped" he whispered the last two words.
My whole body went numb as well as my mind. I couldn't process what Carlisle had just said. I put my head in my hands as I let out a wail of despair. No! Not my little girl! Not my innocent little girl! Not my innocent little baby girl!
I could feel my body shaking from the tears I was no longer able to shed. I felt another pair of arms rap around my body. I looked up to see my husband. He looked exactly the way I felt and sobs were coming from his body to.
Not my little girl! How could someone do something so horrible to her?! My baby girl violated in a way that no girl ever should be.
What hurt the most is the way we all judged her so harshly. We didn't hide the disappointment we felt when we saw her. We judged her when she's already going through so much. All we succeeded in doing was confusing the poor girl. We added to her pain without even realizing it. What were we thinking?!
I was vaguely aware of everyone else around but when I looked at Rosalie she was furious. Of course she would be, she was the only one who knew exactly what my daughter was feeling.
"I swear I'm going to kill the men that did this to her!" screamed Edward in pure anger. "No one hurts our daughter and gets away with it unscathed!" he screamed.
I felt the fury rise up inside of me "I'm coming with you! I'm going to tear them limb from limb!" I shouted.
"Who did this to her?" Edward asked Carlisle
"I only got one name from her. Royce King IV" he said.
"What?!" Rosalie screamed so loud that she actually scared the crap out of the rest of us. "It would be a King. I thought I eradicated their genes a long time ago!" She continued to scream.
"She's almost sure that he's the father" Carlisle continued.
Rosalie got even more angry now. "How dare that sick bastard! I'm going to murder him the same way I murdered the ancestor he spawned from! He should have never existed anyway!" Rosalie shouted.
"Renesmee says that her great grandmother used to tell her that Royce was cheating on you. He impregnated another girl when he was engaged to you. After you 'died' he bragged about what he was doing" Carlisle said.
If we thought Rosalie was livid before we were dead wrong. There were no words to describe the fury that emanated from her. She had lost all restraint and in less than two seconds she had done thousands of dollars worth of damage to the house. It took all of the guys in the house to restrain her. Jasper worked furiously to calm her down with not much evail. Once she was finally subdued we were able to talk again.
"What are we going to do about Renesmee?" Edward asked.
"We need to be friends with her. She needs us to be close to her so she doesn't feel so alone. She needs to feel loved and supported. She needs to know that people do care about her very much. We just need to get close to her" I said.
"You're right love. You're always right" Edward said before kissing my brow.
A/N: Finally I'm able to post this! I've been trying to post this all day but for some reason Fanfiction wouldn't let me log in! Anyways I hope you all had a great Christmas like I did. Let's just say I'll be eating popcorn for a really long time. Also, there's still time to vote for either two boys or two girls. Right now it's a tie. Also, who else thinks that Jake would be a great dad to Nessie's babies?
