OKAY! LET'S SEE WHY THE GIRL CALLED HER MOMMY! AND I'M SORRY, BUT THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER! ENJOY!
Previously:
"Are you alright, dear?" she asked her, worried. To be honest, I know she's warm-hearted, if you get past the seduction, but not this much.
"Yes." she answered as she sobbed into Bella's chest. "It's so great to see you again, mom." she gasped. I froze. Mom?
BPOV
Thank god! I'm so happy to know that my child is alive.
"It's great to see you, too, honey." I murmured into her hair softly. She cried quietly for a few more moments, until she asked,
"Mommy, who are those people?" she asked, frightened by them. I hugged her closer as I turned to the Cullens. She must be traumatized by vampires.
"Don't be scared, Alicia. These are the people who helped me save you." I reassured her. She relaxed a bit. I think I have Jasper to thank for that. They all looked at me in a way that was demanding. I guess they want me to explain. "In the village." I told them firmly. "Is Jacob coming with us?" I asked.
"Since you want to explain in the village you guys are talking about, then sure." he shrugged. I nodded.
"The plane's just a couple of kilometers from here." Rose informed us. Edward was looking at me with a blank expression now. I don't like it whenever he's blank. I nodded and wrapped my arms around Alicia protectively.
"Alicia, we're going to have to run, okay?" I told her. She nodded. At that, I started sprinting. I activated my Byakugan and looked for the plane. All of us kept silent as we went towards the direction of the plane. Even Emmett! Ugh! When we reached the plane, I immediately went in and strapped Alicia down.
"Don't leave me again, mommy." she bellowed. I hugged her again.
"Of course not, dear." I told her promisingly. I sensed all of the Cullens, plus Jacob, behind me.
"Everyone, sit down. We're taking off in a minute." Carlisle said as he went to the pilot's chair. I sat beside Alicia. The rest of the Cullens just sat wherever in the plane. At least it wasn't too far away from me. I heard Alicia yawn.
"Go to sleep, dear. We've got a heck of a time when we get back to the village." I chuckled a bit, thinking about the villagers and the Cullens firing questions at me. Alicia closed her silver eyes and her breathing was a lot calmer. I buckled her seatbelt, then mine and then the plane was taking off. When we were in the air, Alice and Rosalie came to me and talked casually with me as nonchalant as they could. I could see the forced effort they were putting in.
"So, we've already faked our deaths in Forks." Alice started. I didn't want her to have to be casual with me if it's forced.
"I need to get some sleep, Alice." I told her as gently as I could. She nodded, a bit grateful. I closed my eyes and soon enough, I was asleep.
I woke up to screams beside me. My eyes shot up and I wrapped my hands around Alicia comfortingly.
"Ssh, it's okay. Mommy's here. Don't worry." I kept on whispering comforting words to her. The Cullens—minus Carlisle and Esme, probably piloting— and Jacob were surrounded around us.
"Mommy, red eyes were chasing me." she sobbed as tears ran down her pretty face. I hugged her tighter.
"Don't worry. I'll kill anyone who'll try to kill you." I assured her. She kept on gasping and we heard Carlisle's voice through the plane.
"We're about to land, kids. Buckle up." he said. No doubt, he heard Alicia's screams from where he was. I buckled Alicia's belt with one had and kept the other arm around her. Her crying and gasping seemed to slow down a bit and I could feel the plane hovering down. When the plane landed, I loosened my arms around her a bit.
"Are you okay now?" I asked her. She nodded, her face stained with tears. "Stop crying, honey. Your out of harm's way now." I said. She took a gulp and unbuckled her own seat belt. I did the same with mine and stood up with Alicia in my arms. Outside the plane, mom was waiting eagerly for me. It was sun set already, but it was raining. At least the Cullens would get out of the plane safely. A tear escaped my mom's eye.
"My granddaughter." she gasped a bit as she ran to us. Alicia looked a bit intimidated, but not frightened. That's a relief. Mom reached us and hugged the both of us. "Can I hold her?" she asked. I passed Alicia to my mom and she cradled Alicia in her arms.
"Alicia, what do you think about spending some time with your grandma?" I asked her. Alicia thrilled at the word 'grandma'. She nodded frivolously, making me laugh. "All right. Mom, she's all yours for a few hours." I smiled. To be honest, I just need her to get away from the mansion where I'll be interrogated for quite some time.
"Okay, I'll bring her back at 10?" she asked. I nodded. I wouldn't normally allow a 10 o'clock for her curfew, especially at her age, but I need to allot as much time as possible. "Oaky, I'll see you later." she waved, giving me a knowing look.
"Yeah. And we have another guy." I pointed to Jacob. She nodded.
"Hello, Jacob." she greeted. "Well, I'll see you later." she walked away with a squealing Alicia.
"If you want me to answer, wait until we've reached my place." I said as I started running towards the direction of my mansion. I'm going to need a lot of tissues. Remembering the past won't be a simple walk in the park on a sunny day.
"Is that really Bella?" I heard Jacob ask as I sensed all of them starting to run. I didn't hear an answer so someone probably just nodded. When we reached my place, Jacob's jaw dropped.
"Yeah, that's what I said." Emmett chuckled, laying a hand on his shoulder. "You should see her cars." I could hear him trying to hold in a laugh. I opened the door and sat on the floor in the living room. The Cullens and Jacob sat wherever. They were all looking at me expectantly.
"Before you say anything, let me explain first." I said, my palms facing them. "I left Konoha for some reason I didn't know. It turns out that I begged mom to put a seal on me. That seal made me for—"
"Can you tell me first what all of this is?" Jacob cut in, waving his hands at me. I sighed.
"A ninja." I answered bluntly. He was silent and unmoving for a while, before hitting his head, grinning. Why the hell is he grinning?
"This must be the weirdest dream I've ever had." he chuckled. "First, Bella's a ninja and we're at an unknown village that isn't even discovered yet and then, a child calls Bella mom. Impossible!" he laughed. The rest of us remained silent. "And this village is filled with ninjas?" he asked, giving me a mocking look. I stood up and slapped his forehead. "OW! What the hell was that for?" he asked, giving me an annoyed look.
"How was that painful if this was a dream?" I retorted. He dropped his jaw again.
"So you really are a hot ninja?!" he exclaimed, baffled. Edward kicked his head. Jake yelped again.
"Yes, she is. Now, would you let her continue with her story?" Edward asked him, irritated. I kept my giggle in me. "What did that seal make you forget?" he asked me, a hard look on his face. I didn't like it. I sighed.
"It made me forget a whole 2 years of my life. The one with Alicia, Anton and Aaron." I whispered the last name mournfully. "Alicia is my daughter, but Aaron is not the father. It's Anton." I bit my lip as I heard their gasps.
"But he's a vampire. He can't impregnate you." Alice tried to keep herself calm. At least Jasper was here to help her.
"Apparently, he can." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before I continued. "He was my best friend. I befriended him." I took another deep breath. "It was my fault for believing him." a tear slipped my eye as I said this. "One night, he tricked me and in one week, I was growing a lot weaker. Anton left the village after that night." I wrapped my arms around myself. Rose looked pissed. Oh yeah, she hates rape so much.
"For some reason, I was craving for blood and kept having strange dreams about a baby. I also threw some sharp mood swings at everyone." I chuckled at the memory. "That's when I met Aaron." More tears escaped my eyes at the memory of him. "He was a great friend. He was sent by my mom to take care of me. He spent the hours with me and always tried to cheer me up. In no time, he was the one who actually took the spot as my first love." At this, Edward growled. I was even sadder, knowing that Edward was mad at me. "A few days after I met Aaron, I'd found out that Anton had impregnated me already." I breathed through my nose as I heard Jacob and Edward growling.
"When I was in labor, I was supposed to die. Mom was frantic because there was something abnormal in both me and the baby. I was supposed to die, but Aaron was the one who died instead. He gave me his life." I pursed my lips for a bit as my tears soaked my face. Everyone's eyes softened and I released my lips. "Just a couple of weeks after that, Anton came back to the village. I'd already filed a case against him, even if I knew he wasn't human." I chuckled at my stupidity. "He'd already taken Alicia under my nose and I thought she was already dead." I tried to keep myself from bellowing.
"That's when I begged for mom to do the seal. I wanted to forget everything before I hung myself. After the ceremony, I forgot everything and the village wasn't allowed to utter a word about Alicia, Anton or Aaron." I wiped my tears with my hand. "So that's why I didn't remember anything about them until yesterday. Mom kept saying 'she's alive' or save her before she dies'. She was really confusing me, so when I remembered everything, I was shocked to hear that she's alive. I thought that Anton had killed her." I used my sleeve to wipe my tears. "So that's pretty much the history of Alicia." by now, my face was tear-stained and my voice was fresh of tears. Everyone stayed silent for a while, keeping themselves in their thoughts.
"How long were you pregnant?" Carlisle asked, breaking the silence.
"Much shorter than the usual pregnant women." I smiled a bit. "But it was tougher. My energy was being drained a lot, as though my life was fading. I kept craving for blood. I didn't know what was happening with me. My stomach was growing faster than the usual, too." I explained. Carlisle nodded, taking it in.
"I wish I had the chance to kill the bastard myself." Rosalie muttered. I chuckled a bit.
"I had to take my anger out on him, too, you know." I said. Rose shook her head.
"What was...Aaron like?" Jacob asked. I sighed.
"He was always there for me. He was the one who helped me stay positive. To be honest, he was the one who got me interested in classics." I chuckled painfully. "He never forced me to do anything and the last time I saw him was while I was in labor." a tear escaped my eye again. "He was really kind to people, especially to children. He understood my pain of killing people and he had something radiating off of him that made me forget about suicide." I hugged my knees to my chest as I hid my face in my arms. "After he died, I never thought I could love again, even with the seal on me. But Edward proved me wrong." I lifted my head a bit and smiled at him. He just gave me that blank look. My smile disappeared when I saw that he wasn't going to respond to me.
"Mommy!" I heard someone squeal happily. I thought Alicia was coming back at 10? I checked the clock and saw that it was 9:30. That was quick. I sat on my knees and spread my arms, ready to hug Alicia.
"Yo." mom greeted.
"Grow up, mom." I rolled my eyes. "Alicia, dear, how was spending time with grandma?" I asked her, smiling. She beamed at me.
"Grandma was so much fun! Also aunt Shinuze and grandpa Ji!" she giggled.
"It's aunt Shizune, dear." I corrected her. "And who's grandpa Ji?" I queried, looking at mom, who was looking away.
"Oh, you know, someone." she said vaguely, averting my glaring eyes.
"Mom..." I started, trying to keep Alicia from seeing my angry self. "I thought you knew that it was natural to keep her away from Jiraiya." I kept my nostrils from flaring.
"Hey! She slipped out of my office and when I found her, Jiraiya was already carrying her!" she defended herself. Then I back-tracked.
"You let her out of your sight?!" I screeched. Alicia giggled.
"Mommy's funny." she cooed. I chuckled at her, then went back to glaring at mom.
"She's just as sneaky as you!" she retorted. I stuck my tongue out at her. I heard a few chuckles from the inhuman beings in the room.
"Mommy, can I go to sleep already?" she asked cutely. I smiled.
"Let's go." I carried her in my arms and went to my room. I laid her down on the bed gently then jumped in surprise when I saw Edward behind me. "Gosh, you can really scare me." I said, holding a hand over my fast-beating heart. Edward's expression was hard, still. "Um, is there anything you want?" I asked hesitantly.
"We need to talk. Outside." he said in an expressionless voice. I just followed him out of the house, fearful of what he wants to talk about. Why won't he thaw out of the hardness? Did I do something wrong? I'm pretty sure I explained everything that they could possibly ask. When we got outside, he didn't turn to me. I was growing worried about his cold shoulder treatment. Only now did I realize that all of the Cullens and Jacob were out of sight.
"So...what's up?" I asked as casually as I could. He still didn't turn to me as he replied.
"You're not over him, are you?" he asked stiffly.
"Over who? Aaron?" I asked, a bit baffled.
"Who else?" he retorted. He still didn't let me see his face. God, what's wrong with him? I stayed silent for a while, choosing my words properly so that he won't get the wrong idea.
"What do you think?" I asked him back, still arranging my thoughts. This time, which kinda surprised me, he turned around. His face was contorted in negativity—pain, sadness, anger, jealousy, everything. I didn't want to hurt him. I didn't think that I'd hurt him this much either.
"What I think." he laughed bitterly. "You made your mom make you forget him just a few months, which you weren't over him yet. And now, you remember him and you're obviously not over him!" he barked.
"Edward, it's not—"
"It's not what I think?! Well then, if you know my thoughts so much, then why don't you tell me what I think!" he almost screamed at me. Tears welled in my eyes. He said he'd never get angry at me. He promised me that there was no way that he'd be angry at me. He said that all of my secrets have a reason to be kept as secrets. So why does he make those words seem as worthless as the small rocks under my feet right now?
"Edward, would you just listen to me?" I asked him, tears obvious in my voice. He glared at me.
"So, what other secrets do you have now? You're the most powerful vampire in the universe that you can make yourself seem so human? That you've been the one who'd been the real one who changed me into a vampire? That you actually take pleasure in killing people—" I didn't let him go on anymore. I slapped him. My hand hangs in the air and his head was still to the side. That was sinking way too low. He's trying to imply that I'm keeping everything from him when in truth, I don't have anymore secrets to tell him! Tears fell a long time ago.
"If that's what you want to think of me, then get out of my house, and this village." I said darkly. His nostrils suddenly flared and blurs of white and black passed in front of me, pushing me away. Edward was being dragged away by Emmett, Jasper and Jacob. I was paralyzed. Edward was about to kill me. He's really angry at me that he doesn't want me alive anymore.
"Bella, I'm so sorry about him." Alice apologized. "He's just deluded into thinking...you know." she bit her lip. "But if you really want us out of the village, we'll go." she said sadly. When she turned away, I grabbed her hand, as well as Rosalie's, and pulled them to me.
"No, I just need some time to think. Don't leave me again." I whimpered helplessly. The two of them looked at me with sympathetic eyes.
"Don't worry. We won't leave if you don't want us to." Rose said as she wrapped her arms around me. I could hear Edward's scream. I grew worried. What happened?
"Edward's just screaming as he wants, he isn't in any physical pain." Alice assured me. No physical pain, but I'm sure his emotional pain is going through the roof. I've never seen him that angry before. I must've really upset him. I started sobbing. I can't believe that I was the one who caused him all of this pain. I stood up.
"Bella, where are you going?" Rose asked.
"I'm going to sleep." I muttered as I went to the room where Alicia was sleeping so soundly.
"Okay, then. Goodnight." Alice said. "And don't worry about Edward. He'll be back to his usual, prudish self by tomorrow." she smiled at me. I just nodded as I continued my way to the room. When I got there, I laid beside Alicia. I stroked her hair and murmured.
"Alicia, you're so lucky that you've finally gotten out of your pained state." I sighed. "Mommy's having a hard time with the person she loves, other than you, of course." I smiled sadly. "I love him so much, and he doesn't think so after he found out about Uncle Aaron." A tear slipped my eye. "At least I can feel relieved after I found you."
"Mommy, don't be sad." Alicia replied, surprising me. I didn't know she was awake.
"Hey, you're supposed to be asleep." I chuckled a bit. She didn't even smile back.
"I heard screams outside." she frowned. I pursed my lips. I guess she's a light sleeper. "I don't want you screaming at him. You love him, right?" she asked me.
"Yes, but I love you, too." I answered her.
"It's a different kind of love." Wow, she's smarter than I thought. "You should make-up with him. I don't want to see you sad." she yawned then closed her eyes.
"Sleep, dear." I wrapped my hands around her as I went to sleep myself. Hopefully, things should be tolerable tomorrow.
I woke up with 2 pairs of cold hands around me, the other pair colder then the other. I opened my eyes slightly and saw that Alicia was hugging me back. I smiled a bit, then I looked at the owner of the other pair of hands. When I saw Edward's face, I sat upright.
"Love, are you alright?" he asked, that familiar tone of concern lacing his voice. I nodded, taking a gulp.
"Let me throw that back at you. Are you alright?" I asked. He frowned immediately, his eyes apologetic.
"Love, I'm truly sorry about last night. I didn't listen to you and—" I covered his mouth.
"Ssh! Alicia might wake up!" I whisper yelled, half joking half honest. I could feel a small smile on his lips. "And it's okay. I understand." my voice was normal again and I also had a small smile on his face. I patted the seat next to me and he took the seat. Alicia was sleeping soundly behind us. "I'm over him already." I told him sincerely. He looked a bit disbelieving.
"What? But you only remembered him now? And you forgot him when he just...you know." he was baffled. I smiled as I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"It's because I've met you." I sighed contentedly. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in closer. I was content. I like being quiet and gentle like this like before. I like the old Edward—well, he is old. These moments, I will treasure always.
"Mommy..." I heard Alicia call out groggily. I turned around immediately and Edward withdrew his arm. I smiled at her.
"I'm here." I opened my arms out for her. She crawled over to me and cuddled to me. Her position right now is like a real baby's.
"Mom," she started hesitantly. I smiled encouragingly at her. "Can I have a daddy? I don't want my old one." she murmured embarrassingly. I glanced at Edward, who was already looking at me.
"If it's alright with you." he smiled at me. I grinned back.
"Then come over here, daddy." I wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him to me and Alicia, who was squealing. I felt Edward's arm wrap around us and Alicia went on each of our laps. I had my arms around Alicia and Edward had his arms around the both of us.
"BELLA! EDWARD! COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" I heard Alice demand. I sighed.
"I have no doubt that people from Australia are trying to figure out who was calling that." Edward chuckled. I carried Alicia in my arms, but she was trying to get away from me to Edward. I looked at him. He took Alicia in his arms and I bit my lips to keep myself from crying at the sight. Edward fits the description of a father perfectly.
"You really are perfect in everything." I mumbled. He gave me a crooked smile in return. We both went downstairs and saw that the Cullens were seated on the couches, but Jacob was no where in sight.
"Finally." Alice rolled her eyes. "I thought you were trying to give Alicia a sister, knowing another secret in the vampire world." she said. I blushed. Alice danced towards us, grinning. "Come here to your aunt Ally." Alice held her hands out to Alicia. Alicia complied and Rose approached them.
"Mind giving auntie Rosie a hug?" she asked. Alice was supporting Alicia so that Alicia was still being carried as she gave Rose a hug.
"Your mom's demanding her to be at the hospital before noon, or else she'll bring the hospital here." Emmett told me. I bit my lip again.
"She's only half human. How can they check a half vampire?" I asked him.
"I'll be doing the check up." Carlisle said, raising his hand in the air. "But since she's still part vampire, she needs to hunt tonight." he stated. I looked at Alicia's eyes again and noticed that it was darker than a usual pair of Byakugan eyes. I nodded, but I was worried about her hunting.
"By the way, Alicia, is it okay if grandma asks a question?" Esme bent to the height of Alicia's smiling face. She nodded. "What was given to you to eat?" she asked. I stiffened. It never occurred to me that since Anton's diet was on human blood, he won't give Alicia animal blood.
"Blood from animals. He said that I'm not worthy of something as 'delicious' as human blood." she answered, a bit baffled. She probably doesn't understand what it meant. I sighed in relief.
"Well, we better get going to the hospital. We wouldn't want a whole hospital here." I chuckled a bit as I led the way to the cars.
The rest of the months passed by quickly. The whole gang in Konoha were always goofing around in their free time, Renai-nee-chan was taking care of her baby and mom and Shizune were always doing things to improve the village. The Cullens and I never had a major fight after that, just minor ones like which color would suit Alicia better. Alicia and lily became friends quickly, but it's sad that she has to leave with us after the wedding. No one was being suspicious about the Cullens or Alicia and things went by smoothly. After the wedding, the honeymoon didn't start off on the right leg, but we adjusted and after a while, we had another child. We named her Renesmee and when the Volturi thought that she was a demon child—to which, I wanted to kill them—we proved them wrong. Jacob had also imprinted on Renesmee, so he cut off all his ties from the pack. I wasn't exactly happy at first, but I managed to accept it and every now and then, I'd teach my family some nin techniques.
Hopefully, the rest of eternity won't have anymore drama and trouble will keep us out of it's sight.
