Bella's POV

"Where have you been?" Edward questioned as I walked through the door.

"Out," I said walking passed him. There was nothing better to say and it was true, I had been out.

Edward stepped in front of me causing me to look up at his face. His expression resembled stone. It was hard and solid, nothing was going to break it. "Who drove you here?" He asked.

I snorted. "If you plan on being my father you should take care of that hard-on," I shot back at him. Edward's stone face turned to complete shock. I smirked and stepped around him. If he was going to play Charlie than I was going to play the annoying sarcastic teenage girl.

"I mean it Isabella, who were you just with?" Edward yelled.

I turned around to face him. "Ooo, I'm so scared of your exclamatory question. It just strikes fear into me when you avoid by the laws of grammar!" I called over to him. Okay, that was really stupid but I had always wanted to throw something schooly back into his face like that. I don't know why, just thought it be fun to take something he knew too well and show him I knew more.

"That doesn't even make any sense!" Edward yelled.

"You don't make any sense!"

"Stop acting like a child!" Edward said causing everything to stop. That was the moment I realized we had an audience. The whole family, Jacob included, were sitting in the living room watching this play out. Okay, now I had the right to put on a show.

"Stop acting like my father," I called back at him than to wrap up the perfect line I flicked him off the way I would anyone if I was able to use that line. I heard gasps come from our audience of eight and wished so badly I could see their faces. Instead I was satisfied enough with the look on Edward's. His face was mixed with both surprise and disgust, surprised because his trophy wife had just walked all over him like dog shit, disgust because his adult wife was acting like a teenager, something I never truly got to be.

I raised my eyebrows willing him to test me. "I am not your father," Edward finally said.

"Coulda fooled me," I smirked.

Edward sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb, a tell-tale sign of annoyance. "Now, can we just act like adults and you tell me who you were just with?" He asked.

I smiled. Now should I give him the satisfaction he wanted and tell him it was just a cab or should I take the opportunity to piss the hell out of him. I think I'll chose the second option. "I was with my daughter," I stressed the word, causing gasps from the audience.

"I have a sister," Renesmee asked right on cue.

I turned to her about to speak when Edward decide it was his line. "No, your mother is obviously confused and needs to stop spitting nonsense at everyone," he said glaring at me.

Renesmee never looked away from me waiting for an answer. I smiled. She loves me more, I thought letting my shield drop for a second so Edward could hear my thought.

"Not after she hears the truth," I heard Alice mutter.

My head snapped in her direction. "If you wish to talk about me you will do it to my face," I told her before turning back to Renesmee. "Yes, her name is Zoey and she is fifteen."

I heard gasps but was only focusing on Nessie reaction. "She's in shook!" Edward yelled. Suddenly I was pinned to a wall, I looked and saw it was Edward holding me there. "I swear if she is damaged because of you I'll, I'll…"

"You'll do what?" I asked.

Edward opened his mouth at the same time Renesmee screamed, "I have a sister!" We looked over and saw her jumping up and down with glee. Nessie ran over to Jacob and jumped on his lap hugging him tightly. "I have a sister Jake! Now I have someone to talk to that I know won't judge me!"

Edward growled and grabbed my throat. "You, I can't believe you did this to my daughter! She deserves a normal life not one like you and your bastard child!" He yelled at me.

Before he was able to think I had pulled myself out of his grip and pushed him against the wall. I grabbed his neck and squeezed it just hard enough not to tear it off. "You will not call her that!" I yelled at him. "Now if you wish to live you will not talk about my daughter like that ever again!"

Edward chuckled. I tightened my grip. "How can you defend a girl you never even wanted." I felt my mouth fall open. "That's right, I know you gave her away, I know you used drugs, I know everything about you Isabella!" Edward laughed.

I growled. "You. Don't. Know. Me!" With every word I became angrier and angrier. Before I knew what was happening I had ripped his arm off and tossed it across the room. His stone arm thumped as it hit the door earning a round of gasps from our audience.

"Isabella Cullen!" Esme yelled. I turned to look at her with a blank face. "You put your husband back together right now!"

I bit my lip. I loved Esme. Could I really disobey her? You have to be happy mom, I heard Zoey say over again in my mind. I smiled. It was time for me to take over. "No," I told her.

"What?" Esme said. "I told you to put your husband back together and expect you to do it!"

"I said no, Esme. I will not put him back together after he treated me like that," I told her.

I felt pride all of a sudden. I looked over at Jasper and saw him smiling. I sent him my appreciation. He really was my best friend.

"Mom," I looked over at my daughter, "are you okay?"

I smiled. "Yeah, mom's okay," I told her. "Mom's going to be fine now." Nessie smiled and nodded.

"Isabella," Edward said. I looked at him and saw Alice was trying to fuse his arm back on. "I'll make you a deal. If you apologize and tell that bastard child to leave you alone I will let you stay here."

I laughed without humor. "You think I'll be forced to leave?" I asked him. "My big brother won't let you do that," I smiled at Emmett and he smiled back.

"Isabella," I looked back at Esme. "If you intend to treat my son the way you just did I will have to ask you to leave."

"Esme?" Esme loved me. She was my second mother, I loved her. Was she really asking me to leave?

"I'm sorry Bella but Edward is like my own son and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that," Esme said. "Now unless your going to apologize you will have to leave."

I frowned. I was wrong, life isn't worth it. I shouldn't have ever trust anyone. Because when you trust people you get hurt, and I've had enough hurt in my life. "I should have relapsed," I muttered as I started to walk to the door.

"Bella."

I turned around. "Jasper?" I addressed him.

Jasper walked over to me and grabbed my hands. "No, it was good you didn't relapse. If you did you would have never had Renesmee or got to meet Zoey and told her the truth." He looked up at me sheepishly, "I might have never got to see you again."

I smiled. "Thank you, Jasper," I said hugging him.

"For what?" He asked my hair.

I smiled and pulled back. "Everything," I told him. I pulled out of our hug even though I knew I may never get to do it again. I turned to address everyone else. "Now, if the majority of you want me to leave I will. I don't see a reason since we all have a past," I looked at Rosalie for a second then looked away. "Now, let's vote. If you want me to stay vote yes, if you don't then it's a obvious no." I rolled my eyes for having to even say this. I shouldn't be evicted from my own family.

"Esme," I said knowing she'd say no and wanting to get it over with.

"Will you apologize to my son?" She asked. I shook my head. "Then no. I'm sorry Bella." I could tell she was sorry, sorry she had to do this, and sorry she had to say no.

I nodded. "I understand," and I did. Edward was like her first born and, like Esme, I would do anything for Zoey, my first born, including betraying a family member. "Carlisle?"

"I want you to be a part of my family Bella, but," I knew there was a but coming, "if you are going to treat my children the way you've treated Edward, I can't risk it. I'm truly sorry."

I nodded. I didn't understand why Carlisle would want me to leave. Besides the fact that he was doing exactly what Esme wanted. "Rosalie?"

"Yes, I want you to stay Bella," she said smiling at me.

I smiled. It was hard for Rose to do this because I knew she was jealous that I had had a normal child but at the same time she saw that something had happened, something serious, and knew I couldn't lose my family, not like I lost my teenage life. "Thank you," I whispered. "Emmett?"

"Hell yeah!" He said. "I will not lose my sister!"

I smiled at my loving little kid of a brother. "Edward?" I asked knowing the answer.

"Unless you are willing to apologize and follow my terms then no I want you to leave," he said coldheartedly.

I rolled my eyes. "Alice?" My best friend, she was so nice. I don't know how she could ever say no and send me on my way.

"No," Alice said.

I stared at her, wide-eyed. My best friend had just basically stabbed me in the chest and for what? The chance to see me lose? Bitch. I gulped back my tears and looked to Jasper.

"Yes, you can't leave Bella," he told me.

I smiled and hugged him again. "Thanks Jasper," I said then turned to Jacob and my daughter. "Nessie?"

"No," Edward said. "She is a child and doesn't have a say in this."

"I'm not a baby!" Renesmee yelled at him.

"Yes you are. Renesmee you are only a few years old despite how old you look on the outside. Therefore, you do not have a say in matters like this," Edward said.

Nessie was about to protest but I held up my hand. "It's okay sweetie," I told her. "Jacob tell me you want me to stay."

"Jacob is not a member of the family," Alice said. I turned and was about to yell at her 'Jacob is a hell of a lot more of a family member than you' but she continued before I could say anything. "He is a Black, therefore he can not be a Cullen."

I frowned and looked at Jacob. "I'm sorry Jake. You know I see you as family," I smiled at him weakly.

"It's cool Bells, if it matters both me and Ness would have said we wanted you to stay," he smiled at me.

I smiled back. "Well, what's the count?" I asked everyone.

"Four to three in favor of you leaving," Alice snickered.

I rolled my eyes. "Last chance, who's going to change their vote," I looked over at all the people who voted me out. No one said a word. I was heart broken. "Fine be like that! I'll leave." I looked over at Nessie. "Sweetie, mommy's gonna be back I promise."

She nodded and run up to hug me. I hugged Emmett and Rose then headed to the door. Jasper came up behind me. "Sorry, I forgot about you Jasper," I hugged him.

He smiled. "Thanks but I'm coming with you," he said.

"You're what?" I stumbled.

"We're going together, and when everyone lets you back, I'll be with you," he smiled down at me.

I smiled. "You are my best friend," I told him.

"I know," Jasper smiled sheepishly. "And after I meet Zoey we're going on a vacation."

I smiled. "Let's go before someone decides to break my heart even more!" I called over my shoulder. I heard Esme let out a sob but ignored it. Jasper grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I smiled at him. "Thanks."

He nodded and we set off on the adventure of a lifetime.

Happy Easter!
