Chapter 8:
Peter's POV:
Bella started to fall asleep and I couldn't stop looking at her. I leaned in and gave her a quick kiss.
"Love you darlin" I said to fast for her to understand. Jasper just looked over at me and smiled. He had been projecting love the whole time we were with Bella so I knew how he felt towards her.
I heard someone coming and started to growl only to see Emmett open the door. It might have been a good idea for him to knock because right now he was getting an eyeful. Jasper and I still did not put our clothes on and Bella was naked beneath the sheet I had tucked her under quickly when I had heard someone walking towards the door.
I didn't need Jaspers gift to see the anger on Emmett's face and all he did was turn around and swing the door back open flailing his arm and pointing outside.
"Well I guess our presence is request outside" I smirked at Jasper
"Now!" Emmett screamed and I saw Bella start to stir. She stopped moving so Jasper must have sent her a bit of calm.
I got up and grabbed a pair of pants and saw Jasper do the same. We followed Emmett to the parking lot off to the side of the building knowing his temper we needed to be away from humans.
"What the fuck man" Emmett almost cried looking at Jasper. "She is my baby sister, what are you doing" Well I hadn't expected this from him. Jasper looked at me and I guess I looked shocked and really confused as I really didn't know what to say.
"Emmett" Jasper started trying to find the best way to word it. "I won't lie to you, I won't tell you it isn't what it looks like because that is exactly how it is."
Well go Jasper for being honest but oh god I don't want to fight with anyone tonight. I have been having a wonderful evening after killing a few people, and then seeing my ex wife. We all just stood there in silence for a little while not sure what to say.
"I love her. " Was the first thing I could think of to say and I said it looking right at Emmett. Jasper knew it so why not just put it out there. "I don't know how she feels right now, she hasn't talked to us about it, but we love her and we will do whatever she asks of us. We are not stupid, there is a child involved, I know this, Jasper knows this. So it is not as though we can just act as though the 3 of us area an item. That would not go over very well for anyone."
"Jasper what about Alice?" I heard Emmett ask. "The family?" God he just cared so much about everyone around him it is was adorable.
"Emmett, Alice and I have been over for a while. As you could kind of tell from this whole issue so are Peter and Charlotte. This whole thing happened because we both screwed up. Well more or less I did. Honestly I got drunk and thought it would be a great idea to sleep with Bella. I was being selfious and stupid, but I cared for her and wanted to be with her even though I knew Peter liked her. I put her in a horrible situation, she had already been with Peter before that and it turned into a mess. So now here we are with no idea what she wants from us, but both of us love her to death and will do whatever she wants to be happy." Jasper sighed as he finished his semi- rant.
"Even leave?" I saw Emmett's face and knew he was serious.
"Yes, I would" Jasper told him looking over at me. He knew I wouldn't be able to do it. "If that is what it would take, for her to trust us, for her to be happy then yes."
"Peter?" Emmett said looking at him.
"I can't. I just can't say I will leave her alone. Fuck look at what Edward did to her in the past few months, look at what has happened to her. I feel like crap knowing her son being taken was because of me, but what will happen when Edward comes back to her?"
I wanted to find the bastard and kill him. I hated that this was such a big mess because of him, and because of me.
"Lay off the guilt there Peter" Jasper said looking over at me.
"So why the hell can't just one of you be with my sister?" Emmett whined. "Why can't you be normal, and let me think my sweet sister is an innocent angel"
"Emmett, I have a child I am not innocent anymore." I heard Bella say wrapping her arms around Emmett's waist in a bear hug.
"Glad to see you put on some clothes now" Emmett sighed looking down at Bella.
"Oh come on she looks hot naked" I smirked at her. She smiled back but I couldn't help notice the blush on her cheeks.
"Peter"
"Oh come on I would love to get you back under me and naked again." I winked over at her.
"She is my sister" I heard Emmett say while plugging his ears. "I can't hear you... I can't hear you."
"Yes you can because you are a vampire" I laughed at the kid. I see why Bella love him though, he was fun to be around.
"Are you coming back to bed?" She smiled over at us.
"Which one of us now?" I laughed knowing how to push Emmett?
"Peter" she blushed while covering Emmett's ears again.
"Um Bella, he kind of walked in on us all naked in bed." I heard Jasper say softly to her.
The blush ran from head to toe at that comment.
"Oh my god Emmy Bear I am so sorry" she whispered covering her head with her arms.
"Oh yeah because doing that will hide you" I laughed
"Ass" she laughed. "Well the human is going to bed now." She said walking over and giving both Jasper and I light kisses.
"Night darlin" Jasper smiled at her.
"Night Sexy" I smirked back at her
"Night little sis" Emmett said still looking a bit confused.
God she had us all wrapped around her little finger almost if not more than Anthony. So much for big bad vampires.
She woke up the next morning and Jasper had brought her up some food. Anthony was over with Rose and Emmett now instead of Esme and Carlisle as they were "sleeping" It made it easy for them to stay up late with him last night and then he slept and Rose and Emmett were having play time now.
"Morning guys" She smiled as she got up and went to the bathroom for her human moments. She was such a fast girl compared to Charlotte and Alice with her bathroom beauty time. They would make you wait hours before you could see them when the stole the bathroom. She came out a little while after and sat down at the table.
"Lets get this talk over with. I need to go and thank a few people." she said not looking away from her plate.
"Bella what do you want?"
"I need to just take Anthony and go. He said to stay away from everyone, you both and the family."
"No not what the hell asshole wants, what do you want." I tried my best not to raise my voice with her.
"I want, No I need to just go"
"No, again, not what you need to do, what do you want to do Bella. Fuck girl, we both love you, the family loves you. None of us want you to go. We want you to stay with us."
"I need to leave. I am going to head back to my house tonight" she sighed
"But you said" I whined at her. What had happened from last night that changed her mind. I was beyond frustrated and almost wanted to yell at her.
"Bella don't do this" I heard Jasper say from behind me. Well thanks for joining the conversation.
I started to look back over at her she started breaking down in tears sobbing.
"Bella don't cry" I told her as I reached my arms out and pulled her into a hug on my lap. "Bella I love you, please don't go"
"I need to keep him safe" she choked out.
"We will keep him safe darlin" Jasper said from his chair.
"Bella Maria is gone, Charlotte is gone, that means what we have Edward to deal with? Big deal. I am sure Alice will do her best to keep an eye out on him for us" I told her hoping it would help.
"But see Peter if I leave she won't have to keep an eye out. Anthony can grow up with a normal life, normal with a father and a sibling. For him to grow old and get married and have a family. I want…" she broke down in sobs and got up off of my lap throwing her things into the suitcase.
Crap, okay this was not how I planned to have this all turn out. She wanted a human life, vampire free. I guess she has made up her mind even if different then before.
Jasper didn't say anything as Bella walked out of the room, running towards where you could hear Anthony playing.
For the second time in the short time I had known her Bella had left us again.
Bella's POV
We got back to the house and it was nice to have some peace and quiet. I had missed the whole family being around at times, but then I had missed being alone to. I had forgotten how much time and effort being around that many people took from you.
The next few weeks went by okay. I went back to work and took Anthony with me like before. Thankfully I hadn't missed many days and had just told the family that I nannied for that Anthony was sick. I missed Peter and Jasper, and so did Anthony. The worst was about a week after we got home Anthony and I were sitting down watching tv. He turned around and I couldn't have been more shocked me with his question.
"Mommy when I can see Unki Eter and Jasper again?" he asked softly.
"Hunnie I am sorry but they live far away from us here, so we won't be seeing them anytime soon"
"But Mommy I wanna see them" he cried
"I know baby so do I, but things happened and right now we can't see them." I told him while part of me wished I could tell him the real truth and the other part wished it was really just something I could have him a simple explanation for.
I cried myself to sleep that night. I hated how much this all had upset my son. It made me realize why I had done what I had done in the first place leaving. Having them come in and out of his life made this even worse then them just not being there at all.
It took me a bit to not be shocked when we would go out. I always looked around for them watching out for me, especially since I had this strange feeling I was being watched.
I was at the coffee shop at the park one day and was shocked to actual meet someone who seemed like a nice guy. He was a single father, his daughter was at the playground playing with Anthony when we looked over. His name was Riley. Turns out his wife had died in childbirth and he had been a single father ever since. His daughter Bree was only 2 ½ so a little bit younger then Anthony but they still were enjoying playing we noticed as we sat down on the bench to talk. He was a teacher, and he adored his daughter, which to me is the most import thing a parent can do. By the end of our converstation at the park I had a date for tomorrow night.
We had agreed before we left the park to split a babysitter and let the children hang out at my place while we went out. We were going to go out to a nice little restaurant down the street. It was an old bank that had been converted into a restaurant. It had the marble floors, high vaulted ceilings. The kitchen was actually where the bank vault used to be located. It was really cool, I had never been here before and there was so much to look at. The bar had been lit up with changing colors flowing through the bottles which lit up the one whole wall.
We sat down and looked at the menu. I got the taco salad which turned out to be a taco shell about 10 inches wide and about 8 inches high full of everything. It was wonderful. Riley had gotten a cajun sirloin tip sandwich, which smelled amazing. The night was going great until my phone range and I saw it was the babysitter.
"I am sorry to call Miss. Bella but there is some guy outside and I won't open the door for him"
I could hear Anthony screaming in the background, and was wondering if this person had scared him. Could it be Edward, oh god.
"Why is Anthony upset?"
"He saw the guy and kept trying to open the door so I had to put him in his room"
"Did he say anything? Who is the guy?"
"Anthony said Eter? I am sorry but I don't know what he ment?"
"I do, shit, Sorry Riley" I sighed "Don't worry we will be back in a bit. You can let him in. It is Anthony's uncle"
Crap shit, what the hell was he doing there. Was it just Peter or was Jasper there too.
"Riley I am sorry but it seems a friend showed up at my house, and Anthony is a bit angry that the babysitter refuses to let him in. I am sorry to have to cut the date short"
"It is fine, maybe another night we can go out again?" I smiled at his request. I was enjoying my night and honestly wouldn't mind going out with him again.
The drive back to the house was surprisingly not awkward between the two of us. We kept talking about our past, our family, and our children. I obviously left out the vampires and werewolf part of my past. I am not sure what he would think of me. Well besides that I was fucking crazy and run the other way.
We got back to the house and walked up to the door. Peter wasn't outside so obviously the babysitter had let him in after I told her she could. I could hear laughing from Anthony and Bree so I guessed everything was okay, at least for now. I still might have to kill him though.
"I think goodbye out here might be best" I said looking over at Riley. I had no idea what was going on and why Peter was here. I also knew he could be a jealous fucking pain in the ass. I reached up and gave Riley a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. He smiled down at me and gave me a kiss on the cheek as well. I was happy he hadn't taken it on himself to try to give me one on the lips. It was a nice end to the night.
I opened up the door and saw Peter on the floor with Bree in his arms flying over his head and Anthony laying next to him looking up at the giggling little girl.
"Hey hunnie" Riley said looking over at Bree.
"I was starting to worry you hadn't told us something Bella." Peter smirked looking back and forth from me to Riley. "Well I guess you didn't tell us something." he almost growled at Riley.
"Mommy Unki Eter is here" Anthony squealed running over to my legs.
"I know hunnie, I can see that." I said looking at Anthony. "Why he is here though is a different subject." I said looking back at Peter.
He had put down Bree and she had walked over to Riley and was getting her coat on. I felt so bad right now. I wanted to flip out but knew it wouldn't be the best idea with Riley and Bree around.
"Bella it was nice going out tonight, give me a call sometime and we can take the kids to the park or something?" he smiled over at me.
"Sure Riley. Bye Bree." I smiled back at him. He was a genuinely nice man and I was more then a little annoyed that my date had been cut short because Peter decided to show up.
As soon as they were out the door I put Anthony to bed seeing that it was now almost 10pm, and walked back out to the living room. I held my breath looking at Peter. Fucking idiot was looking down at the floor. Well fuck, you show up here and now don't talk.
"Why?" I started to tear up looking at him. "Why couldn't you just do what I asked" I started to cry. "Fuck I love you guys, I really do but I can't move on with you in my life. Anthony can't move on with you guys being in and out of his life. Peter you can't" he cut me off pulling me into a kiss. I pulled back from him not sure what was going on.
"God damn it, I was thinking if I distanced myself from you that maybe I could get a grip on whatever it is that going on. Get a normal life, with a normal guy. I fucken cried myself to sleep the other night because Anthony asked where you guys were, and now you show up here. " I said, and realized Peter hadn't moved from his spot, or blinked, or even said a word; he was just staring at me looking almost angry.
"Peter just say something, Fuck, speak damn it!" I said getting anxious.
I started to think maybe I had fucked up worse than I had thought when I waked out on them twice, and went to pull away but he held onto me tightly. He started growling the minute I tugged and it sent a small chill down my spine.
"What the hell is the problem Peter?"
Fuck, I think I might have broken a vampire. All he was doing was staring at me and a low growl was steadily coming out of him. He didn't even look like he was really looking at me, only like he was thinking. It kind of had me worried. He showed up here and then kissed me, now all he was doing was standing here looking at me.
What the hell could possibly going through his mind right now?
The next thing I knew my back was being slammed against the wall in the living room and Peter's lips were on mine.
I was frozen; his lips were pressed firmly in place and I couldn't move. I didn't know what he expected when he showed up here, or even why he showed up here.
He started dragging his tongue across my lips, making me melt into him. I wanted to kiss him back so much, but god damn it I was pissed that he had just shown up. I gave up and stopped thinking about what we were doing. I pressed my lips back into him and breathed him in.
He brought my bottom lip into his mouth and gently tugged on it as my hands wrapped up in his hair. I was undone with the feeling of him sucking on my lip and my moves became desperate. I pulled him into me and deepened the kiss bringing my tongue out and begging for more. I had missed him, I had missed them both.
His cold mouth opened to my warm one and immediately we were both fighting for dominance. The struggle was amazing as I felt his tongue against mine as we explored each other's mouths like it had been forever since we had seen each other.
Fuck I want more!
It was unbelievable. The only time he was giving me to breathe was when his tongue left my mouth and that was only to kiss my top lip. Back and forth we were attacking each other's mouth, open and breathing each other in but never letting go of each other. His hands were on my back and pulling on my hair trying to get me closer to him. Neither of us was worried about soft or being gentle; this was passionate and dominating and growing wilder with every moment. I could feel his need just as I'm sure he sensed mine.
He started kissing along the corners of my mouth then making his way to my jaw and I couldn't take the distance he had put between our mouths. I grabbed his face forcefully in my hands and brought him to face me. I looked in his eyes for only a minute before I kissed him again. Snaking my arms around his neck, I brought my tongue into his mouth and I could literally feel my inside's explode with the intensity it brought.
Peters entire body was rumbling as our bodies were pushing against each other and our mouths were firmly locked together. We weren't leaving any room for an escape from the other. Both of us holding on tightly to the other as our tongues met and licked, our bodies molding right into one another.
I could feel every single inch of him as he pulled me even closer. I had never felt so scared and excited as I did when I felt his erection pressed firmly into me. I had a feeling where this might be going. It was at that instant that I felt the warmth between my legs, and Peter let out a deep growl as our tongues fought each other over and over.
I could feel his hands traveling and remembering every inch of my body then. I had to pull back; I wanted to look into his eyes.
"Mommy" I heard Anthony call from his room bringing us both back to the reality of this whole situation.
"I will be right back" I said as Peter took a step back letting me walk down the hallway to Anthony's room. I tucked him back in after I noticed he had kicked all his covers off. Silly boy. I smiled down at him tucking the blankets in around him.
I was doing this for him, I was keeping them away for him. A human life, a normal life. Not a life where "daddy" is a god damn vampire, fuck 2 god damn vampires. I couldn't drag him into this world. What would happen when he got older and I never did. It wouldn't work, it couldn't work.
I walked back out and couldn't find Peter. I did the only thing I could think of and sat down on the couch and started crying. He had shown up, fucking hell. I had no idea what to even say. He kissed me, and now he was gone without even saying a word. I pulled out my phone and saw that both Jasper's number and Peter's were no longer in my phone. What the fuck was going on?
I heard a knock on the door and opened it up without a second though only to be pushed back onto my ass. I looked up and saw Edward standing above me in the door.
"I told you to stay away!" he growled at me. "I can smell him on you!"
Why did Peter do this. Everything would have been fine if he hadn't been here.
"Edward I didn't call them, I don't even know his number. He showed up tonight and cut off my date-"
"You're what?"
"I had a date with a nice guy, human with a daughter" I told him looking at his chest. "My babysitter called about Peter and I came home to figure out what was going on"
"Then why can I smell your arousal Bella?" He glared at me
"Edward-"
"Where is he!" He growled at me
"I don't know, I went to check on Anthony when he cried and came back and Peter was gone" I started to tear up.
"Then why can I smell your arousal!"
"He kissed me"
"Oh so you didn't go fuck him and Jasper again?"
"What?"
"I saw it Bella, I saw it in Emmett's mind, him walking into your room finding the 3 of you together. You fucked Jasper and Peter! God damn it what the hell are you thinking? He drinks human blood Bella, you and Anthony will just be another god damn snack for him. He will kill you and Anthony. Jasper isn't any fucking better."
Part of it seemed like he cared but I knew not to even think that. With everything going on I hadn't heard him walking up until now over Edwards screaming. Oh god what had he heard. I kept my tears in knowing they would not help right now.
"Mommy, who's that?" Anthony asked from the hallway and I couldn't breath. Oh god please no, Edward don't hurt him was all I could think of in my mind.
"I've been watching you Bella" he sneered over at me.
So I wasn't crazy he had been watching me. I thought someone had been, but my mind went to Jasper and Peter first before Edward.
"Mommy?" Anthony was starting to sound upset. I was still in the same place ass down on the carpet with Edward looking down at me.
"Please go back to your room hunnie" I said not taking my eyes off of Edward.
"Who are you?" Anthony asked Edward.
"Go back to your room now!" Edward yelled at Anthony and I heard the tears start coming from our son.
"God damn it Edward!" I yelled at him. "Stop it" I slowly back away from his feet over towards Anthony and picked him up carrying him towards his room.
"mommy?" he cried looking up at me.
"Yes dear?" God I felt like such a piece of trash right now.
"Who is he?" I couldn't lie.
"Anthony he is" I stumbled on what to say.
"Don't you fucken say it Bella" I heard Edward growl from the kitchen.
"He is your uncle Jasper's brother." I quickly said to Anthony. It was true but it was not the whole truth. It made me feel even worse.
"Is he going to hurt you?" he looked up at me with those big green eyes. I hated how much he had seen already in the past months. He was to young for this.
"I hope not baby." I said tucking him back into his bed and kissing his forehead. I wasn't to sure I would get to do that ever again. I locked the door behind me not to keep Edward out because that wouldn't stop him but to keep Anthony in. I had no idea what was going to happen and I didn't need my son walking out into it.
I walked back out to the living room and saw Edward standing there.
"The lock won't keep me out."
"I know" I frowned "But it will keep him in" I said looking down at the ground. "Why are you here?"
"I told you to stay away from them!" he was growling at me again and almost screaming.
"I did, If you had been watching you would have seen that. And Edward the cops are going to be called if you keep screaming. If you want to-"
I was shut up by him slapping me across the face and I fell to the floor. I felt the blood pooling up in the scratch from his nail on my face and saw his eyes go black.
"Don't not tell me what to do you stupid fucking whore! You are the mother of my child and you are sleeping with my brother!"
"It has been 4 years Edward. Fuck you of all people should know how much of a sieve the human mind is, I got over you. Just like you told me I would" I smirked using the words he had said to me. That was a bad idea as I was grabbed and shoved back against the wall. I felt my arm breaking as he held me up by my forearms to the wall.
I couldn't hold back the tears now. God it hurt so much.
"So you slept with him!" He yelled at my face, I didn't want to cry out so I kept my mouth shut.
"You fucking slept with Jasper!" He growled venom spitting out of his mouth all over my face.
"So did you fuck Peter too?" He said as he pulled my shirt up and bit into my stomach and I let out a cry.
"Edward please don't turn me" I begged looking down the hallway at Anthony's room
"Oh I don't plan to" He said with a sick smiled on his face. Where was Peter now, Jasper, why hadn't Alice told him.
"I see your little brain running a mile a minute. Don't expect any help. I made a friend when I was killing Maria. She is a wonderful shield you see" I was dead. I looked over to the door and saw a women standing there with red eyes. I guess she didn't follow Edwards diet.
"Can I taste her" she smiled over from the door and I felt the tears running from my eyes as she walked over and bent down licking the bite on my stomach. Edward smiled, he fucking smiled at me the whole time she was doing this. I closed my eyes as I felt her bite my side next to the mark from Edward.
All I could think about was not to cry out, and praying somehow that Anthony would live through the night and would be okay in the future. I had made a will out as soon as I had given birth, and had kept it updated. I would give everything to Renee. I was pulled out of my thoughts as Edward pulled his little girl off of me and was licking along my throat.
She walked back out of the apartment and I don't know where she went. I hoped she went far enough away for Alice to see this, and for someone to get here. God for Peter to get back to here. God Peter.
I felt his teeth sink into my neck, and tried to push him away. I let out a scream as my arm was defiantly broken. He laughed at me pinning me back against the wall sinking his teeth into the other side of my neck.
I thought I heard a door slam and was shocked to see Jasper and Peter in the door. I felt some fear being projected but I guessed I got the weak end of it as Edward sank down to the floor screaming. Peter had me away from the wall in seconds and was taking me back towards my room.
"Anthony?" He said looking at me
"I locked him in" I told Peter, my eyes full of tears.
"Okay" He said placing me softly onto the bed walking back down the hall. I heard a small bang and then little feet running. Peter was back in my room a few minutes later.
"He promised to stay in his room" he told me looking me up and down. "he shouldn't see you like this"
Peter's POV:
I hadn't seen Bella in weeks and it was driving me crazy. I know she wanted a normal life but I couldn't bring myself to stay away from her. I was not going to call her my mate but I loved her and I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her.
I showed up at her house only to see some strange women inside with 2 children. Anthony and the other one I heard Anthony call Bree. What the hell did Bella have another child in the past years and not tell us about it? I had to trust her and I knocked on the door.
I think I gave the babysitter a heart attack as she closed the blinds and I heard Anthony running at the door yelling Eter at me.
I hear the phone call to Bella and knew she would be home soon. The door opened shortly after.
"I am sorry, um Uncle Eter?" she stuttered at me
"Sorry Mam" I said laying the accent on thick. "It is Peter" I smiled at her as Anthony grabbed onto my legs.
I heard Bella and some guy talking outside and heard a quick kiss. She opened up the door and I was on the floor with Bree over my head. She loved playing airplane and Antony was curled up next to me laughing with Bree as she flew over our heads.
"Hey hunnie" the man said looking over at Bree.
"I was starting to worry you hadn't told us something Bella." I smirked looking back and forth from her to Riley. "Well I guess you didn't tell us something" I almost growled at the guy. I know she had wanted a human life but god damn it I didn't expect to see it.
"Mommy Unki Eter is here" Anthony squealed running over to Bella's legs.
"I know hunnie, I can see that." She said looking down at Anthony. "Why he is here though is a different subject." She said glancing over at me.
I put the little girl down and she ran over to the man. I guess she was his daughter.
"Bella it was nice going out tonight, give me a call sometime and we can take the kids to the park or something?" he smiled over at her.
"Sure Riley. Bye Bree." she smiled back at him.
As soon as they were out the door Bella had picked up Anthony and took him back to his room. Looking down at the clock I noticed it was getting late.
She walked back out towards me and I looked down at the ground. I knew she didn't want me here.
"Why?" she whimpered and started to tear up. "Why couldn't you just do what I asked. Fuck I love you guys, I really do but I can't move on with you in my life. Anthony can't move on with you guys being in and out of his life. Peter you can't" I didn't know what to say. She loved me, she loved us she had said it. I cut her by pulling her into a kiss. She pulled back from me looking confused.
"God damn it, I was thinking if I distanced myself from you that maybe I could get a grip on whatever it is that going on. Get a normal life, with a normal guy. I fucken cried myself to sleep the other night because Anthony asked where you guys were, and now you show up here. " she crie. I just stood there looking at her. She cried herself to sleep, Anthony asked for me.
"Peter just say something, Fuck, speak damn it!" she yelled at me.
She tried to pull away from me and I couldn't stop myself from clinging onto her. I started to growl at her. I didn't want her out of my sight or my reach.
"What the hell is the problem Peter?"
I didn't know what was wrong so I did the only thing I could think of. I wrapped my arms around her and walked her back until she was up against the wall and my lips were crashing down on her. I was slowly dragging my tongue across her lips trying to get her to open up to me. She eventually let out a soft sigh and melted into my arms. My hands were running all over every inch of her body and I didn't want to stop. We kept kissing with her breaking away to look at me and it seemed to make sure I was real and this was going on.
"Mommy" I heard Anthony call from his room bringing us both back to the reality of this whole situation.
"I will be right back" she said looking at me as I took a step back from her. I couldn't do this to her. It was obvious things were going well for her. Anthony was happy, or was trying to be, and we kept bringing him down when he missed up and we would pop in and out. Shit then add Fuckward into the mix and things were a mess. Jasper didn't know where I was right now and I knew he wouldn't be happy with me when he found out, but I just had some feeling I had to be here tonight and see her.
I walked out before she came back out. I stood outside and heard her start to cry when she saw I wasn't there.
I walked back out towards the car I had brought. For some reason I had driven Bella's Lotus here. I wanted to give it to her, but I could tell she wouldn't take it. She was angry with me now for showing up and I can't say I blame her.
I walked around the town looking for something to snack on. Looking down at my watch it had been about an hour when I heard my phone buzz. I saw it was Jasper and picked it up.
"I have no fucking idea where you are but Alice said get to Bella now!" he screamed into the phone.
"How far are you?" I asked hoping to not need to tell him that I was only about 10 minutes away.
"About 10-15 minutes out" He said.
"I'll meet you there" I said hanging up the phone.
I got to bella's in time to see his car pull into the space next to the lotus. He would know now where I have been. He slammed the door and before we could even think we both smelled him.
"Edward" he said running towards the apartment.
We got into the apartment to see Bella covered in blood down on the floor with Edwards teeth in her neck. This is not good. I felt Jasper shove out fear into the room and saw Edward drop. Bella clung to her arm as I ran over and picked her up going down the hallway towards her room. I hadn't seen Anthony anywhere.
"Anthony?" I asked looking around.
"I locked him in" she told me, her eyes full of tears.
"Okay" I said as I gentle put her down onto her bed. She was going to need care and not the type a hospital could give. She had bite marks on both sides of her neck and her shirt was covered in blood. I hadn't looked at her body yet but I had a feeling it was not something Anthony should be seeing.
I ran over to his room and opened the door. He looked so scared. He ran over and I pulled him into a hug.
"Is mommy okay" he said into my shoulder.
"She will be okay buddy" I said looking down at him. "Now can you promise to stay here tonight, Uncle Jasper and I will take you for treats if you can?" I had no problem with bribes.
"Okay" he said as I tucked him back into his room. I walked back over to Bella and she looked all around my ankles.
"He promised to stay in his room" I told her as I looked her up and down. "he shouldn't see you like this". I couldn't stop the frown on my face. She shouldn't even be like this.
"What happened?" I said pulling her only my lap.
"Can we talk about that after my arm gets fixed, I am pretty sure it is broke" she whimpered as I picked her up.
"Crap" I said "I will have Jasper call someone, but with these bite marks we can't exactly go to the hospital." I felt like an ass that she wasn't getting the help she needed but I knew we had to wait and think this though. A girl coming in covered in bite marks, a broken arm, and a smacked up face would bring a lot of questions. Add her having a son and they would take Anthony away.
"Bella what happened?" I asked her again.
"He showed up after you left" she cried into my shirt "He had brought Maria's shield with him so Alice wouldn't see it. I can't" she stuttered.
"Did he rape you Bella?" I asked. It was the most important question right now and I knew Jasper could hear me ask it.
"No, he only bit me" she said looking down at the ground.
"Where is the shield?" I wanted to know if we had someone we needed to be looking for.
"After he let her bite me she had a bit of control issues, so she went out and I guess left to go feed" she cried into me. "Then he bit me more and you guys got here" I hated asking her this.
"Why Bella?" I sighed looking down at my sweet Bella. This was not right.
"Because she is a god damn fucking whore, she fucked both of your asses!" I heard Edward scream from the living room. It was cut off by a tearing metal sound and I knew he had lost some body parts.
"is that why?" I asked. I need to know. Was this my fault too.
"Yes, he saw you here. He had been following me." She sobbed and I tried to hold her without causing her more pain.
"Bella lets get you cleaned up." I reached over and carried her into her bathroom slowly lifting her shirt up over her head.
"I need a minute" I said standing up and turning around after I had seen her stomach. She had a few bites on her stomach besides the ones on her shoulders. I felt like a fucking pussy turning around but I wanted to much to walk out of here and kill the bastard out in the living room. I am not sure what the Major had planned for him but it would not be harsh enough.
I turned back around and she had her eyes closed.
"I am sorry Bella" I said leaning in and kissing her on the forehead.
"I am sorry I showed up, I am sorry I left, I am sorry this happened, fuck I am just so sorry" I said looking down at her hoping she would look up at me.
"Peter" she sighed leaning her head forward into my stomach as I stood in front of her sitting body.
"Lets get you cleaned up" I turned on the water and got it warm. I didn't put any soap in the water though in case it would sting the bites. She slipped her skirt of that she had put on for her date and she sat down into the steaming water. She let out a soft sigh as the warm water went all around her. I had turned around and sat with my back up against the side of the tub. She had closed the curtain ½ way so I couldn't see her body but could see her face.
"Bella, I am sorry that this happened because of me" I figured might as well talk while she soaked.
"Peter yes he did this because of my relationship with the two of you, but it was not your fault that he has turned into a psychotic asshole."
I heard Jasper knock on the door.
"Bella, I wanted to let your know Carlisle is on his way. He is bringing a portable x-ray and some things for a cast if need be." He said from the other side of the door.
She laughed. "Open the door Jasper" I heard him let out a breath as he opened up the door and saw her.
"I don't get a kiss?" she smirked over at him. God she was wonderful. He walked over and gave her a quick kiss without looking down at her body.
"Also, Edward is now in 4 pieces in various locations around your house, and his body/head are in my trunk"
"Will that keep him apart for now?" she asked looking a bit worried.
"Carlise should be here in about 4 hours, it should last easily that long Bella." He told her looking at me.
"Are you sure your okay?" he asked as she just sat in the tub.
"I've had a rough couple months" she laughed.
"Well I brought your present" I smiled looking over my sholder at her.
"What are you talking about."
"Um it is white, and shiney, and has 2 seats, a convertible top, goes almost as fast as the lambo you loved" I smiled at her.
" And I bet it is a stick?"
"I am not a jackass Bella." I laughed at her "it is an auto. But if you want to learn how to drive stick with a broken arm I will teach you once we move back home." I told her hoping she would agree now.
"Home?" Well the way that came off was a no.
"You don't want to come back with me do you?" God I felt like crap. "I'll let you finish your shower I said standing up and walking out the door."
"Peter- wait" she called out after me.
"Jasper, what did I do now?"
"He is in love with you Bella, just as I am. However the more you push him away the more he is upset. I can feel how you really feel and know you are just trying to do what you think is best for your son and your little family. He doesn't know that, he can't feel it. To him you are angry at him for what has happened tonight as much as I feel your guilt. You are worth it Bella, and we will do whatever it takes to keep you both safe now. I don't think you will be getting rid of us very easy now." I heard Jasper tell her as I sat down in the other room watching Anthony sleep.
I had it bad for this women, and as much as I loved her, I loved her son as well.
I heard her standing up and getting dressed. I knew she needed to rest and I figured I would just stay here and watch her son sleep. What would we do in the future. We couldn't turn Bella. What would happen with her son. We would have to let her grow old, she would die and we would loose her forever. The more she talks to us the more I think it is what she really wants and I hate that now I can't give her what she wants. I don't know why but I know she has to come back with us. I just have this feeling that Edward was only the tip of the iceberg, Maria and Charlotte, child's play. Whatever was after her was going to be coming for her soon.
Jasper's POV:
I couldn't bring myself to look at Bella when I came into the bathroom. I felt like I had failed her when we let her come back here. Edward was pissed, he had found out about the 3 of us, thankfully after we had gotten Anthony back but that still didn't help. My darlin was sitting in a tub with a broken arm, covered in bites and bruises.
"Jasper stop being an emo and help me out please." She laughed looking over at me. I grabbed a towel from the cabnet and opened it up to wrap around here. The wounds were still bleeding and it worried me.
"Bella can I please tend to you?" I asked her softly.
"Sure Jasper." The things are in the cabinet behind the towels.
I wrapped her up softly and she walked over to the bed laying down on her back. Thankfully Edward had no idea how to torture someone, he hadn't bitten her on her back and her front so she could still lay down peacefully and rest. I grabbed out some large gauze pads and medical tape. I also got a small bowl of hot water and some peroxide. I knew she was going to hate me but it needed to be done.
"Oh fuck no" she whined when she saw me caring the brown bottle."
"Bella we need to make sure it is clean." I sighed down at her. My poor Bella was a mess.
"Fine" she pouted biting on her lower lip.
"Well lets not make more blood for me to clean up okay darlin" I smiled down at her and she relaxed a little bit.
I washed up her bites, and put the bandages on.
"Carlisie should be here in a few hours. Would you like to take a nap?" I offered knowing I could send he the good vibes she would need.
"Stay with me?" She said holding onto my arm.
I pulled her in closer to me making sure my arms when wrapped around her were not rubbing against the bites on her stomach. She inched back until her body was pressed up against me and my head was in her neck. I had sent her some vibes and she was starting to fall asleep.
"God I wish these were from me." Sighed and when she tensed I knew she had heard me.
"What Jasper?" I felt her fear.
"Bella don't worry, I meant, well, crap" I closed my eyes.
"I know it is not what you want but I would love for you to be with us for eternity." I figured I had fucked up enough why not dive in.
"I can't Jasper." was all she said curling back up in my arms. I felt her guilt, sadness, and love pouring from her. It was not her lack of feelings for us that was the problem, there was no problem. She had a son and she wanted to be the best mother she could be for him. No one could fault her in that.
She was asleep shortly after and I stayed in her room watching over her. I heard a faint knock at the door and knew it should be Carlisle. I got up and saw Peter in Anthony's room on my way to the door on the floor with a giant stuffed animal as a pillow watching the child sleep.
I opened up the door and saw Carlisie outside.
"Come in, Bella and Anthony are both still sleeping. I figured I would let them sleep in though since they both had a late night"
"Where is Edward?"
"Which part of him?"
"Oh Jasper what did you do?" God this guy was always on Edwards side.
"He is alive, which is more then he deserves right now." I said between clench teeth.
"Do you know why he did this?" He sighed looking around. I knew we would have to pay someone a lot of money to come redo the carpets and walls. Having blood everywhere was not something people didn't ask questions about.
"Yeah he told Bella in between biting her all over and breaking her arm." I growled out a him. His son was far from perfect.
"Well then what was it son?"
"Me and Peter was why he did it."
"You didn't stay away?"
"Yes we stayed away, but he saw something in Emmett's head that didn't sit well and he came down here and attacked her."
"Not exactly." I heard Peter say from the bedroom.
"Out here now." I growled at my brother. What the hell had he done now.
"I came here and saw Bella today." He said looking away from me. "Edward admitted to stalking Bella since she moved back here. He saw me come in and visit. Bella wasn't home at the time though, she was out on a date. I hung out with Anthony. I left after she got home." He said. I could feel the guilt spewing from him so strong.
"What else?"
"We kind of um kissed a bit." he said and I punched him right in the face.
"Why did you come here?"
"Because I love her."
"He fucking came after her because you didn't listen!" I screamed at him. I knew I should have raised my voice because a few seconds later I heard a thump.
