flashback 2

"My friend had invited me to a party when I was only 10 years old," Gabriella said. "and she had met Sled back then. But he started to bully me, and even teased me a lot."

"You did forgive him, right?" He asked.

"No," she said. "he just wouldn't stop. So, I never forgave him that day, even if he's still coming after me."

"Did you know why he started to bully you?" He asked.

"I think it was because he never got invited to a party, or something." She said, as he leaned into kiss her lips.

"How's our baby doing?" He asked, touching her stomach.

"It's doing fine." She said, as he sat her on his lap.

"Do you still think about Troy?" He asked.

"No," she said. "after he tried to kill me back in Angel Grove."

"So, you never thought about him at all?" He asked, as Carlisle came into the room to check on Gabriella's heart rate.

"No," she said. "I haven't really thought about him. Because your the only one I think about right now."

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes," she said. "you are the only one I think about."

(Flashback)

"Sled, you really need to stop bullying her." Sarah said, sticking up for Gabriella.

"Why?" he asked. "she's never going to get a boyfriend."

"She will," she yelled. "get a boyfriend, even if you are being a pain in the butt."

"Sarah," Gabriella called, standing behind her. "You don't have to stick up for me. Anyway, he's a jerk, and a really a bad freak who has no idea on how much it hurts me now."

(End of Flashback)

"There your all done." Carlisle said, leaving them on their own.

"Gabriella, your gonna have to lie down," he said, lying her down on the couch. "cause I'm going to kiss you."

"I know," she said. "but, be careful."

"Don't worry," he said. "I am always careful. Because right now, your still fragile."

"And your a vampire." She added for him, leaving a kiss on his lips.

"I know." He said, planting kisses on her face.

"Right now with you in my life," she said. "it's finally completed. It feels like that."

"It does feel like that." He said, as she laid down on his lap.

"So, can you explain how we never met before I even moved to Albuquerque?" She asked.

"Because I was never the one to get along with a human person," he sighed. "such as Jacob. We don't get along. Because he's a werewolf, and he could even kill one of us, if we even think about crossing his land."

"Do your ever wonder why you hated me for bugging your sister?" She asked, remembering that day.

"No," he said, taking her hand in his. "I never hated you for bugging my sister. But I must admit, that she didn't like the fact that you were staring at us."

"Is that why you told me to get a move?" She asked him.

"Yes." He just said.

"How did my sister die?" She asked, randomly.

"She died of an illness," he replied. "but the baby never made it."

(flashback)

"Gabriella, if your sister ever died, would you take her place?" Tommy asked her.

"Of course," she said. "I would take her place, but I swear on my life that I would never try to replace her."

She knew that she could never replace her sister. Because she made a promise to always keep her in her heart.

"You are right," he agreed. "you could never replace a loved one."

(End of flashback)

"Any who, I made a promise for my sister." She mentioned to him.

"And what was that promise?" He asked.

"That I would never replace her," she replied. "but you love me anyway."

"How can I never love you for making that promise to her?" He asked.

"You know why," she said. "she loved you for of who you are to her, and as long as you love her, she'll will always be with us."

"She will always be remembered," he said. "but this isn't the end of the story."

"Your right," she agreed. "this isn't the end of the story, and it will never ever end with out knowing. It must be continued as part of my life's history."

"Promise me," he said. "that you'll always stay with me, even after the baby is born."

"I promise with my life, Edward," she said. "I will always stay with you, but I promise that with my strength and soul."

"I'm glad that I have you with me." He smiled, as she slowly started to fall asleep on his chest.

"Edward," Tommy said, appearing out of the blue. "her time is nearing, and she can finally be the real her."

"What is the real her?" He asked, all of a sudden.

"The real her is a vampire," he explained. "and she's destined to be with you forever. You mustn't ever let her go."

"I would never let her go," he said. "she is destined for greater things."

(flashback)

"The heart never lies." She told him.

"How does your heart not lie, Gabriella?" He asked, as she put her head on his shoulder.

"Because when I was with Troy, I never knew that I loved you that day," she said. "you let me slip right through your fingers after I left for Texas and Los Angeles. I never knew how you felt for me."

"I guess you didn't," he said, keeping his eyes on the road. "But there's one thing that you didn't tell me."

"And what is that one other thing?" She asked him.

"Tommy told me that you were pregnant with his baby," he said. "is it true?"

"No," she said and looked away from him. "he was un-expecting it, but he swore to protect us."

(End of flashback)

"Tommy, what happened before you died?" He asked, wanting to know.

"Before I died," he said. "I realised that I loved Gabriella more than ever, and by the time I realised that I loved her, but I never knew that she would turn out to be pregnant with your child. She cares for the both of us."

"How do you know that she cares?" He asked.

"Because I didn't hear her say anything to the both of us," he sighed. "even before I died, I still never knew that she would cared for us both. But her sister, Isabella, is still grieving after she died, and she's been trying to tell you's both to get married before the baby is born."

"So, she died without explaining that to me first?" He asked, confused.

"She just didn't want you to suffer for life." Tommy said, as Gabriella woke up.

"Tommy," She questioned. "what are you doing here?"

"I'm here visiting your husband-to-be," he answered. "never question why, but I know you love him more than ever."

"Of course," she said, stating the obvious. "I do love him more than ever."

"I knew it." He screamed from the top of lungs.

"You knew what, Tommy?" She questioned.

"I knew you always loved me and him from the start." He said, but she obviously, knew what he meant by loving the both of them.

"I know," Edward said, cutting in.

"Edward," Tommy called. "You better take care of this lady."

"I will always take care of her." He said, catching a glimpse of Gabriella.

(flashback)

"Mum, I'm going out for some fresh air." Gabriella said, as one of her friends joined her outside.

"I can't believe Sled." Sarah said.

"Why can you not believe him?" She asked.

"Because he never told me that he had already had a girlfriend," she cried. "even before I told him that I like him."

"Your better of with out him." She said, going back to her house.

(End of Flashback)

"I know you always will, Edward." Then he disappeared.

"I wish I had met you," she sighed. "before Sarah."

"Because we would have grown up together," he said. "and even, fallen in love with each other."

"So, how comes you never came to Texas?" She asked.

"We had to stay out of the sunlight," he breathed. "Otherwise, we would show the sparking on our skin."

"That's a secret I never knew." She said, truthfully.

"I guess you didn't know about us mythical creatures then?" He questioned.

"No," she replied. "I didn't know about the mythical creatures, such as vampires, witches, wizards and werewolfs."

"So, you were right," he agreed with her. "but why didn't your teacher tell you anything?"

"Because it was un-known to many of my class mates, except, Skylar, she always admired how the vampires skin glowed in the dark," she mentioned to him. "but she always knew that there will come a day when vampires walk the earth."

"I believe you," he said. "and there are others just like us."

"What do you mean by 'others'?" She asked, confused.

"Well, there's the three vampires that go by the name Victoria, Laurent and James," He answered. "we intend to run into them."

"Do they eat of human?" She also questioned.

"Yes," he said. "they don't eat. They drink blood of off humans."

"So, why do they kill humans?" She asked.

"For thirst." He replied.

(flashback)

"Skylar, do you honestly think that vampires are real?" She asked.

"If they never exist, then why do they only exist in stories and movies?" She argued.

"Because it would never be the same world again," She said. "and if you put it this way, the Cullen's are vampires. Not you."

"I know," She said, putting her books away. "but what if you found out that they were truly real to you?"

"I would never find out that they were real," she said. "but one day, I will move to Albuquerque."

(End of flashback)

Then it was time for Gabriella to go to bed, and get some rest.

"Carlisle," he called, as he entered the room. "Do you ever think that Gabriella could be the one for me, and that she could replace Isabella Montez?"

"She would," he admitted. "but she could never ever let you go, even if you are trying to find a knew Bella."

"So, she would replace her, by staying with me forever." He asked.

"And she would never hate you for bringing her into your life, Edward." Carlisle said, touching his shoulder.

"I never knew how much she would change my life." He said, stroking Gabriella's head.

"How much?" Jasper asked, walking into the room.
