Chapter 22: Revelations

Nessie's POV

I had so many things going through my mind right now that I didn't even know what to think. My head started to hurt from all the pressure I was currently under. I was worried about little Derek who was still vehemently against going home no matter what.

If I knew my grandfather the way I thought I did I was sure that he would not be able to keep Derek a secret for long. He would want to return the boy to his mother back in Denver. I can't say for sure but I think he just wanted to convince Derek that going home was indeed the best thing for him.

Besides all my worries about Derek I was also worried about what the witch had revealed to me. That I could, in fact, have my spell undone but I only had a month's time before the spell became permanent. Should I tell my family about this? Should I give them this hope only to possibly let them down when I fail? What about my human family? Could I really just up and leave them like that?

"Nessie?" I heard my father speak from the hallway. "I think we need to talk want to come walk with me?"

I got really nervous all of a sudden. Was my dad mad at me because I didn't want to leave my human family behind? Did he feel like I was betraying my real family by even having these thoughts?

My dad didn't say anything for a really long time. Not until we had reached the park. I was anxious to get this conversation over with but I supposed my dad just wanted to get away from my family first.

"Nessie can you please stop thinking that I'm mad at you. I'm not mad at you. I could never be mad at you for how you feel,"

"You don't think I'm betraying you? I still remember all the conversations I overheard between you and the others hoping that I would choose you over them. You even said that I didn't have a choice,"

"Which was a very stupid and selfish thing for me to say,"

"Dad-"

"Renesmee they're your family as well. They love you and you love them. They cared for you and raised you the same way they did with your brother and sister. Blood didn't matter to them when they took you in and it still doesn't matter to them now. You're just as much their child as your brother and sister are. If is unreasonable and completely selfish of me to want to take you away from them after all they've done for you,"

That is not at all what I was expecting to hear. What I was hearing from my dad now was a far cry from what I heard after first being reunited with him.

"I've been thinking about possibly having them turned,"

I stopped dead in my tracks and spun my wheelchair around. "What?!"

"I haven't forgotten that the Volturi have threatened them as well as us. For everything they've done for you the least they deserve is our protection. Having them turned might make that easier. Also, the only way we could all be together is if they joined our family,"

"You mean combine my two families?" I asked, completely shocked.

"That's exactly what I mean Nessie. I just have to run the idea by Carlisle and I'm not so sure that he'll approve of it,"

"You sure about this dad?"

"I'm positive Nessie. If you do succeed in undoing your spell then you would be immortal again. Which would mean that you would have to leave them. This is the best solution that I can come up with,"

"I'm not even sure I'll succeed," I admitted in defeat. "Only an act of true love can break the spell and I don't even have any idea what that means!" I yelled in frustration. Thankfully no one was within hearing distance.

"Don't worry Nessie if anyone can figure it out you can. I have faith in you. Besides, even if you were to fail, we would all still love you no matter what. It doesn't matter what you are our love for you will still be the same,"

That cleared up a lot of my worries right there. Now my only remaining worry was Derek Hale. I cared about that boy a lot and I wished that I could do more to help him.

"Actually there is more we could do to help him," dad said.

Mind readers! So annoying!

He chuckled.

"Okay dad what is it? How can we help?" I asked.

"Have him meet his father," dad said. "Because I think I know exactly who his father is,"

"What? Who? How do you know?" I asked him.

"Nessie I don't know how to tell you this but I've overheard some things in Jacob's mind and-"

"Dad," I interrupted. "Are you seriously trying to tell me that you think Jacob is his father?"

"When he lost his memory he fell into a state of depression and loneliness. He tried to ease his pain by drinking and being with women and one of the women that he was with happened to also live in Denver and she also happens to have the same name as Derek's mother. On top of him being a shapeshifter I'm sure that it's not a coincidence,"

"Jacob had a baby?" I muttered. "Jacob was with other women and he had a baby with one of them?" The words stung me badly. They really did. I wasn't going to be his first. Then he has the audacity to try and keep this a secret from me!

"Nessie calm down please he was afraid to tell you the truth. He was afraid that you'd reject him if he told you,"

"So he'd rather start off a relationship with secrets then is that it?"

"Nessie just talk to him. I understand your feel hurt and betrayed but just talk to him," dad suggested. "Besides Jacob will get his karma when Rosalie finds out that it was him who impregnated her great niece and forever infused her family's lineage with his wolf genetics,"

"Does she know?"

"No but I have a feeling it won't be long now. All I can say is you might want to get some popcorn ready because this is going to be interesting,"
