I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update this. Just have had a bad case or writer's block with some of my stories and this is one of them. Anyway I hope that you all enjoy this next chapter or Raised By A Pack Of Wolves.
Chapter 7: Family
Nessie's POV
I could not believe that everything that I had gone through I was finally back with my biological family. I looked at my mother's face and she looked back at me and smiled. In her eyes I could see all of the love she held for me. There was no measurable comparison. She and the rest of my family, minus my father, had always wanted me. I wasn't just some unwanted burden. They had all wanted me and they had all loved me. No matter what though, I could not wrap my mind around the idea that I was with my biological mother.
When we got home I was surprised, but also happy, to see that Edward had already left. He was not stupid, I am sure that he left because he realized that he was not welcome here anymore, at least not right now. I wondered if the Cullens would ever forgive him for what he had done. Probably not. He admitted that he thought I was a monster just because my mom was dying when she was pregnant with me. He admitted that he had dumped me in the forest so that the wolves would kill me. I'm pretty sure that that was something that was going to be nearly impossible for my family to forgive.
"Nessie? Baby are you okay?" my mother asked me.
"I'm okay. I'm just a little tired" Just then I yawned as if to prove my point.
"You should rest" Carlisle said. "try to stay off your feet. I'm surprised your ankle is not bothering you yet"
As soon as I was reminded of my twisted ankle I felt the pain start to return and I grimaced.
"Yeah. You are probably right" I admitted as I felt another shooting pain in my ankle.
He disappeared only to reappear a minute later with some tablets and a glass of water. "It's for the pain" he said.
"Thank you Carlisle" I quickly swallowed the medicine and the water.
"You are welcome Nessie" he said to me in return. He left afterward just leaving my mother and I.
I don't know what came over me. But I suddenly had the urge to hug her again. I caught her by surprise when I threw my arms around her. But she quickly hugged me back. Before I knew it I was crying into her chest again. My mom just held onto me. I think, had it been possible, she would have been crying to.
The day's events seemed to catch up to me, even though it was only eleven in the morning. I started to get really sleepy. Soon I had fallen asleep in my mother's arms.
When I woke up I right away realized that I was not in the same part of the house that I had fallen asleep in. I blinked a couple of times and scanned the room. I was in the same guest bedroom that the Cullens had loaned to me last night. Whoever had brought me here had propped me up comfortably against the pillows. I even had a warm blanket thrown over my body which would easily explain the unusual warmth.
I smiled when I thought about my family. All of this time I had been wrong. All of this time I just thought that I was an unwanted burden. I had thought that maybe I was too loud, or too annoying. I had thought that I was just the unwanted result of two teenagers having sex. I I had imagined a lot of scenarios in my head to try and understand why my mother never wanted me. I had tried to understand what would make my family just get rid of a defenseless newborn. But I was wrong, I had always been loved and wanted by my real family, just not my father. My real family had always loved me and wanted me. My mom had been in so much pain all of these years because she thought that I was dead. It was all because of my father. It was all his fault.
I got up slowly and carefully. I stretched my legs as soon as I stood up. Then I looked at the clock and I realized that I had slept for two and a half hours.
When I walked out to the living room I was surprised to see the whole house decorated with birthday party decorations. There was even a birthday cake and presents. How the hell did they do all of this in only two and a half hours?!
"Happy birthday!" everyone said from behind me and scared the crap out of me.
"What is going on here?" I asked in complete confusion.
"Well yesterday was your birthday. So you know what that means right? A party!" Alice squealed excitedly.
I sighed. My mother looked at me sympathetically.
"It was all Alice's idea" Esme said.
"Well I'm flattered. Really I am but I'm really not one for lavish parti-"
"Oh no you don't! I will not allow you turn into your mother! We need to make up for 15 years all at once"
"Alice" I groaned.
"Come on" she said. I could tell that she was not going to take 'no' for an answer.
"Okay, fine" I said. "In the long run I think it's just better to agree with you"
"Unfortunately Nessie, that is true" mom said.
Alice just smiled devilishly at me. "Now come on let's have a party!"
Again I'm really sorry for my long absence on this story. I promise to try and update this story more often. Anyway, I just have one question for all of you. Which point of view should I do next? I can't decide between Edward and Bella.
