I want to thank Rockin' Cullen. She is a super duper genius. This chapter is a joint effort between me and her! Please go read her stories, I am sure she is an amazing author. Anyway, I got a couple reviews saying that the powers are confusing, this should help.

"Of course, love." Edward lifted me up, bridal style. "You are welcome to stay in on of the guest bedrooms." Edward said directed to my mom. Yes, mom. Although she was never my mother she still held the title.

Edward carried me home and before he could even lay me down in the bed I was already asleep. This day had been emotionally wearing on me. I was tired.

When I woke up in the morning I was staring at the most beautiful green eyes on this planet.

"Morning, Beautiful." He said to me, before kissing my forehead lightly. He was about to kiss my lips before I cut him off, putting my hand in front of his face.

"Human moment." Edward sighed before letting me out of his grasp. As I left the door open as I went to brush my teeth and Edward came and sat on the counter and watched me. I blushed and tried to ignore him.

"Your mom wants to take you somewhere, so you and her can talk and be friends." I looked at Edward and he did not look happy.

"What is wrong?" Although Edward understood me, having a tooth brush made me sound very different. So it came out as a jumbled mess. He chuckled before answering me.

"She does not want me to come. I will stay here and you may go if you choose." I did not want to leave Edward behind, but I knew that I should at least give my mother a chance. I finished brushing my teeth and wiped my wet mouth off with a towel.

"Why can't you come?" I asked.

"She wants it to be mother, daughter time." I nodded my head in understanding.

"So what are you going to do." He asked.

"I think I should go. I mean I should at least give her a chance Edward."

"Okay, I will miss you, love."

"I will miss you too Edward." I kissed his cheek and turned to go and get dressed but, he pulled me back and kissed me on the lips quickly.

"I love you, Bella. More that you know." I smiled up at him and told him that I thought I had an idea before walking to get dressed. I rummaged through my clothes and decided that I was in serious need of going shopping. Of course I didn't have the money. There was a knock at the door and Edward went to open it.

My mother walked into the room looking as beautiful as ever. I had no idea how old she was when she was changed but, she could very easily say she was not a day over 19. Probably even younger.

"Good morning, Edward. Bella." She said acknowledging us both.

"Morning." I replied, Edward just nodded in her direction.

"Well, Bella, I'm sure Edward has told you about my plans. I would hope that you would accept my offer." Why was she being so formal?

"Why are you being so formal and of course I will go." I asked the question bluntly and hoped she did not take offense.

"Um, I'm sorry I have no idea why I was so formal. So! I thought we could go shopping and I could buy you some new things and then get you some lunch." I nodded my head and smiled in approval.

My mom was going to buy me new clothes! I hated shopping, but I was in desperate need of clothing. My mom left and I grabbed some of clothes and went to the bathroom, took a shower, then got dressed. Edward waited patiently for me to get out and gave me a kiss and hug before I left. He also handed me a cell phone telling me that if I didn't answer or reply to his texts he would freak out and come and find me right then.

I met my mom downstairs. I followed her out to what looked like a bran new Mazda RX-8. It was black and very beautiful. I sat in the passenger seat. Renee drove just as fast as the Cullen's, we were in Seattle in record time. She pulled in front of an expensive looking clothes store and the shopping began.

I do not even want to know how much money she spent on me. It had to be an ungodly amount. We went to store after store until my mother's car was almost full with bags.

"Okay, Bella! One last thing! Shoes! And then we can go eat!" Another thing. My mother had almost as much energy as Alice. We walked into the overly expensive shoe store just as every other store we had been to today. I didn't need this stuff. I was happy with things from Wal-mart or Target. This was just over the top. There was no need to spend so much money on clothes that would just get torn up anyway.

My mother and I did get closer through out the day, but we didn't really have much time to talk between trying on clothes and buying them. I was waiting for lunch to really began any serious talking and connecting. I knew that most people around me thought that I would have told my mother to leave and never come back, but they weren't in my shoes. They didn't know what I felt.

This was probably the last family member I had that could actually be there for me. I mean, the Cullen's were great, they were the best thing that ever happened to me but, they were still not my blood. Although they were my family and I treated them like family, just as they treated me the same, they weren't.

And also my mother was the only person I could actually connect to about getting abused and it wasn't just random abuse such as Rose getting raped. It was the same person. Her husband, my father.

My mother and I walked into the shoe store laughing about a joke she had just told me. I was distracted by the joke but, when the funny wore off I looked up to see Lauren and Jessica. My smile quickly turned to a frown. Two of the worst people to run into. They were terribly rude to me and had their fun with there friends beating me up.

My mother noticed the somber look on my face and questioned it.

"Oh, um, nothing." My mother didn't seemed fazed that I didn't tell he what was wrong.

"Bella, honey, you know you can tell me anything." I looked into her eyes, she was serious. She really wanted to be there for me.

"I just don't get along with those girls," I said motioning toward Jessica and Lauren.

"Oh." My mother nodded her head in understanding. "Well, would you like to go to a different store?" I knew my mom wanted to go to this store she proclaimed many times that she heard from Alice that they had the best selection. I shook my head no. I did not want to ruin this for her. I would not run away from this.

I followed mom to a row of cute flats She picked up the most expensive pair on the rack and said, "Aren't this cute Isabella?" I nodded my head saying 'yes' before I heard snickering behind me. My mom turned and I followed her, not ten steps away from us Lauren and Jessica were laughing.

"Hello, Bella." Jessica said.

"Hi." I said, hoping that they would leave me alone.

"Hello, girls." My mom said. "I'm Renee." She held waved slightly at them.

"Ooohh, Bella, she has the same name as your mother! Looking for a replacement?" Lauren snickered. Jessica laughed along with her at what she taught was a funny joke. I didn't think it was too funny. I only wish I could tell her that this really was my mother, but of course I could never do that. My mother was frozen at this age and I could not let anyone know that she was perfectly alive, in a sense.

I just looked down as I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Of course she isn't ladies. Oh and Lauren, when are you due?" I looked up at my mom and saw her smile, I glanced toward Lauren and Jessica.

Lauren looked confused and Jessica was pale.

"I'm not pregnant! That's her!" She said pointing to Jessica. The smile grew on my face and I held back a laugh. Jessica was pregnant!

"Oh, I'm sorry I guess I just assumed it was you with your little bump." My mother said giving them the most sincere smile. Lauren had a look of shock now, she looked down at her stomach. Of course Lauren was practically anorexic but, of course she thought she was so huge just like most girls now a days. Jessica looked like she was about to puke. She and Lauren practically ran out of the store. When they got out side it suddenly started pouring down rain. They were soaked in an instant. I couldn't contain my laughter and I suddenly started laughing hysterically with my mother. This was too good.

"That was amazing!" I said to my mother.

"Thanks Bella."

"No, thank you."

"I will never let anyone hurt you again. I promise." I threw my arms around my mom, she was sincere in her words and I would forgive her. I knew that it might not be the easiest thing and I would still have negative thoughts about her, how much she wasn't there for me but, it was the right thing to do for me.

I couldn't help, but to throw my arms around her in an embrace. She seemed a little stunned at first but, put her arms around me, hugging me tightly to her.

"So how about these shoes?" She asked after we had release each other and looked back at the shoes.

She bought me an ungodly amount off shoes, and when we walked to the door I noticed it was still raining. I didn't want to get wet.

"I got this, Bella." My mom said, I looked back outside and with in seconds the rain was gone and all that remained was the clouds. I looked up at my mom in shock.

"It's my power." She said quietly.

"So, you made it rain on them?" I questioned.

"Yes, I did." She said. I smiled brightly at her. I wonder what my power would be, would Edward even make me a vampire? I pushed the question out of my head. I could think about that later.

We put all the bags into my mother's car and she asked where I would like to eat.

"I don't care, where ever." I said.

"Bella, honey, you have to tell me somewhere. It doesn't matter where, it's not like I'm going to eat."

"Um, how about this little Italian place." I told her the name and she headed in that direction. Along the way there was a car and on the bumper was a sticker that said "As a former fetus I oppose abortion." My mother and I laughed our heads off at that one and made it a rule that we would look for more bumper stickers like that.

When we got to the restaurant my mother and I walked in together. We were seated almost immediately with the promise that our waiter would be there in a few minutes. I glanced over the menu and quickly picked out what I wanted. I set the menu down so me and my mom could talk.

"Hey, Bella." I knew that voice. I looked up to find in was the condensing voice of Mike Newton. For the second time in one day I had to ruin into some one that hated me.

"Mike." I said acknowledging his presence.

"What are you doing here isn't this restaurant too expensive for you?" I looked towards my mom, she looked furious.

"Actually it isn't too expensive for her. Isn't that right, Isabella?" My mother said.

"Yes." I said. Looking up at Mike. I had my mother here, nothing was going to happen to me and if anything did she would defend me.

"Humph." Was all that came out of Mike." What is a pretty woman like you doing with Smelly Belly?" I blushed at the nickname that I had never heard before. (Your mom, don't know that you are missing she be pissed if she could see the parts of you I been kissing….sorry I 3 animals (nickleback))

"Like what?" My mother asked innocently.

"So sexy." My mother did a little condescending chuckle before grabbing Mike by his collar and giving him a death glare not inches from his face.

"You will apologize to me and Bella, or I will have you fired and I will just have to tell your boss that you need to be fired."

"Uh…Um…Sorry." He muttered.

"Sorry what?"

"Sorry Bella, and you too?" Mike's apology came out as more of a question than anything.

"Thank you." My mother said, releasing Mike and going back to her happy appearance.

"Now, what would you like Isabella?" My mother asked. I told Mike what I wanted and he walked off.

"Thanks again, mom." She smiled at me.

"So, Bella, I am sure you have many questions for me.

"Yes, first, how do your powers work?" She didn't seem surprised by my first question.

"Most people assume that it had t do with the weather since that is what I usually effect, it has more to do with water and air. I can control both. I guess it doesn't affect you, if it is being done to you. Such as with Edward nothing happened when I got mad, which I am very sorry for, but with Lauren and Jessica you could see because it was not happening to you." I nodded my head in understanding.

"How do you have so much money?" She laughed at my question.

"I'm a vampire. I did some errands for some high power vampires and it just so happened that they pay rather well." I nodded my head, I didn't really want to know the details.

Mike brought me my food and he had a rather terrified look on his face. I felt some what sorry for the poor boy. The I thought about what he had done to me in the past and I didn't feel so sorry any more. I started to eat and my mother asked a question of her own.

"What about this boy Bella, Edward?" I almost chocked on my food. It's not that I cared that she asked, I was just surprised.

"What about him?" I asked in between two bites.

"How did you meet?" She asked.

"In school. He is in my biology class." I said, not caring to fill her in on the detail that Edward seemed to hate me.

"Are you in love with this boy?" She asked.

"Yes, I am." I nodded my head along with my answer.

"Bella, I know that I haven't always been there for you and I am sorry for that, but I want you to be careful with this boy, I love you and I don't want to see you get hurt." I nodded my head towards my mom. I trusted Edward. He would never hurt me.

I finished eating and Mike came and took my plate, handing us the check. My mom paid and left a penny as a tip. We had quite a laugh out of that. On the way home we say another funny bumper sticker but, this one said (inset funny sticker here).

When we got home Edward was there in an instant, pulling me out of the car and into his arms.

"Why didn't you reply to my texts?" He asked accusingly. I had completely forgotten about the phone. I wasn't used to it.

"Oh! I'm sorry Edward, I forgot." I said pulling out the phone and handing it to him.

"It's okay Bella." He let me go and Emmett walked up helping to carry the bags inside.

"If me and Jasper weren't holding him back, he would have chased you down, Bella!" Emmett said laughing. I looked up at Edward who quickly looked away, grabbing some bags and taking them inside. I took a couple bags but, of course I could not grab as many as Edward or Emmett.

I took them to mine and Edward's room and set them down on the bed with the rest of the bags. I let out a sigh while Edward brought in the last bag. Suddenly the wind started to whip and everything became a blur, I thought it was my mother but, then I saw Alice suddenly appear in front of me.

"Wow." I let out after seeing that all the bags were gone, empty and all the clothes in the closet.

Alice smiled before leaving the room. My mother walked in and I thanked her and gave her a hug. She said she would be back in a couple of days, that she had business to attend to. I could almost feel Edward stiffen up behind me. I didn't want to press her about anything. It was not my place, yet.

I told her bye, as she did to me and Edward and her exchanged a knowing glace, as if they knew something I did not. I didn't like being left out, but at the same time, I did not want to know, but then again, I am a human. I had to ask.

I waited for about twenty minutes until my mother was sure to be far gone.

"Edward?" I asked.

"Yes?" He asked.

"What aren't you telling me?" I asked. He let out a sigh, he led me to his couch and sat me down, he kneed down in front of me and held both my hands. I already knew that I did not want to what it was. It was bad news for sure.

"Bella, know that I would do anything for you and that I love you with all my heart. I would never let anything happen to you…"

Thanks again Rockin' Cullen…and because this chapter is sooo long…25 reviews!
