Chapter 12: Part of the Family

Belle's POV

I still had trouble processing everything that happened. But I was just so happy that Bella, that my mom finally knew the truth about me. It was heartbreaking that she didn't even know I existed. That she had given birth to more then one baby. I wanted her to know that I was here. Now she finally knew and that made me feel extremely happy.

"So where are we going to eat?" Bella asked me. "Even though you will be the only one who is actually eating" she added with a bell like laugh. Then I laughed to.

I ended up choosing a Burger place. I could not wait for them to bring me my food, honestly I felt lke I could eat a whole cow right now.

Bella kept staring at me for some reason. I didn't know if it was because I looked exactly like Nessie or if it was because I was a long lost daughter that she never knew about. Or maybe it could have been both. I didn't know.

"Bella, why do you keep staring at me?" I asked.

"I'm sorry" she said. "I just can't believe it, that's all. I'm also sad to. I had another daughter and I didn't even know it. I should have been the one to raise you and love you. I should have taken care of you. I feel guilty for not knowing that you existed. I should have known" she said.

"That's ridiculous" I responded.

"How so?" she asked.

"How were you supposed to know about me? You were dying when I was born. You weren't fully concious. It's not like you could have read my father's mind either and know that he was keeping something from you. None of this was your fault and I don't think that you should blame yourself" I said.

"Thanks Belle. Your words mean a lot to me. But that doesn't erase everything that I am feeling right now. Nothing would have made me happier then to have raised two kids. It would have given me great pleasure to raise you like I raised your sister" she said.

"Well there is nothing that we can do to change the past now" I said. "All that we can do is look to the future and make up for lost time" I said.

She sighed. "Yeah, I guess you are right" she said. "But I just want you to know that I already love you and care about you as much as I do Nessie"

"Really?" I asked in complete shock. I didn't think that she would care about me so quickly. After she just found out about me.

"Yes. I do. You are my daughter. My only regret is that I haven't been able to show you any love at all throughout your life. But, as you said, we have all the time in the world for that now. And I do intend to make up for lost time" she said.

"Thank you mom" I said. "I love you and care about you to and I can't wait to make up for lost time"

She didn't say another word. But she looked like she was about to cry. She got up and came over to me and hugged me and then gave me a kiss on the cheek. She loved me and she cared about me. I was a part of the family now. And that is all that mattered to me.

"I'm also interested in getting to know your sister, Kate" she said.

"Because she is your sister to, right?" I said.

"Yeah, she is my sister and therefore I care about her to and I want to get to know her. She seems like a sweet little girl" she said.

"Oh, she is" I said. "But she can be a bit stubborn sometimes. And she loves arguing with my brother. Actually, they both love arguing with each other" I said.

She just laughed.

It was actually kind of hard to believe that my sister was also my aunt. My younger adoptive sister was my aunt or half aunt. Well, whatever you want to call it it was sort of weird. But I guess weird is just something that I would have to get used to in this family.

I enjoyed spending time with my biological mother. It was nice to be able to hang out with her, just the two of us. I think that it also made her happy. It helped her to avoid thinking about what my father had done. She looked happy, and she looked calm and relieved. It was just the two of us and that was enough to make us both happy.

But as we were walking home my father appeared and instantly the whole atmosphere changed.

"Bella, I am so sorry" Edward begged. "I never meant to hurt you"

"Shut up Edward" Bella said through gritted teeth. It was clear that my mother was pissed at my father and I mean really really pissed. I was honestly afraid for my father.

"Bella, I said that I was sorry. I thought that I was doing the right thing" he begged. "I was only think-"

"Shut the hell up Edward!" Bella shouted. "You lied to me. You made me believe that I only had one child. You secretly gave away one of MY daughters. You falsified my signature! Help me understand what you mean by doing the right thing. Because it seems to me that everything you did was wrong!" Bella shouted.

"Bella I-"

"Stop it Edward!" Bella shouted. "There is nothing that you could do or say that would change the way I feel right now. Because nothing will ever change what you did!"

My father didn't know what to do or say to do that.

"Belle can you please leave?" Bella said.

"Um, sure, why?" I asked in confusion.

"Because I am about to kill your father and I don't want you to see this" Bella said angrily.

I hurried away after that.
