Not So Happy Reunions

Bella

"Ready?"

"Not even in the slightest."

"You don't have to do this."

I looked up at Jasper, squaring my shoulders. "Yes. I do." I took a deep breath and tentatively opened the door. I could hear the TV in the living room; Charlie was probably watching whatever sports game was on tonight.

Jasper followed behind me silently. I debated on whether he should stay, but then considered he would be able to calm Charlie down should he get out of control.

I cleared my throat nervously. "Dad?"

Something crashed from the kitchen. Jasper put a comforting hand on my shoulder when I started to panic. "He just dropped a bottle." He whispered quickly.

"Bella?"

Charlie came out of the kitchen in a rush. Before he could register anything, he pulled me into a hug. I was surprised by the display of affection. It was so out of character for him.

"Isabella Swan! Where the hell have you been?"

He pulled back, finally catching a glimpse of my protruding belly.

I glanced at Jasper. "It's complicated."

...

...

"Y-you're pregnant." He stammered his face changing colours so quickly I could barely keep up.

"Yeah, I know."

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! You told me you and Edward—"

I cringed. "It's not Edward's baby. Trust me, Edward and I haven't done anything."

"I don't understand."

"Neither do I."

"Maybe you should sit down." Jasper suggested, pushing enough calm into the room to put an elephant to sleep.

Charlie looked at Jasper suspiciously. "Who are you, again?"

"Jasper Whitlock, Sir. I'm Carlisle's adopted son."

"Right," He stumbled into his chair, closing his eyes as he tried to understand. I sat on the coffee table in front of him, taking hold of his hands.

"Where have you been, Isabella?"

I knew he was angry; he only ever called me Isabella when he was really angry about something.

"Dad, what I'm about to tell you will be impossible to believe, but you have to trust me."

"Does this have something to do with those Quileute boys and werewolves?"

Jasper's surprise was palpable. "What do you know about that?"

"I was spending time with Sue Clearwater while you were missing. I saw Seth and that other boy— Embry? — go from large dogs to human right in front of my eyes."

Jasper and I exchanged glances.

"I guess those Quileute Legends have some truth after all."

"Dad, does Sue know you... know?"

"Sure. She was the one who confirmed it."

I suppose since Charlie knew about the Quileutes, it wouldn't be as hard as I expected to tell him about Jasper and the rest of the family.

"Okay Dad, besides the werewolves, what else do you know about the Quileute Legends?"

"Only that their natural enemy is the 'Cold Ones'." He snorted. "Although I'm not sure exactly what that is."

"They're vampires, Dad. The Cold Ones are vampires."

Charlie rubbed his chin. "Huh. I guess that explains a few things. Although I think Billy was off his rocker when he said the Cullens were vampires."

When neither of us laughed, he looked at us suspiciously. "Are you telling me the Cullens really are vampires?"

"Yes."

Before we could say anything else, Charlie started laughing. I knew nothing about this situation was funny. In fact, he was laughing hysterically. The news was taking its toll on him.

Jasper was sending as much calm to Charlie as he could. No one spoke until Charlie finally calmed down. "Good God Almighty, where do I live?"

"Supernatural Central, Chief." Jasper answered.

I elbowed him the side. "Not funny." I hissed.

After a long bout of silence, Charlie spoke, his eyes narrowing. "You knew all this time, didn't you?"

I blushed. It was only a matter of time before he came to that conclusion. "Uh, yeah. I did."

"How long exactly? Did you know when agreed to marry Edward?"

I nodded.

"Did you know when I first met him?"

I nodded again, my face burning hot from embarrassment.

Charlie sat stiffly, staring ahead at the TV blankly. I turned to Jasper. "What's he feeling?" I whispered, low enough that only he would hear.

"Rage, horror, anger; you know, the normal feelings a father feels when he learns his daughter was about to marry a vampire."

I was tempted to elbow him again but it would only enlarge the bruise already forming there. "You're just full of jokes today, aren't you?"

He smirked.

"Dad? Are you alright?"

Charlie still had yet to say anything. When the baby kicked, I subconsciously rubbed the area. Charlie noticed and snapped out of his stupor.

"That doesn't explain how you ended up pregnant!" he said.

I was going to have to tread very carefully. "Okay Dad, what I'm about to tell you is going to be difficult to grasp. Trust me, I was just as confused."

He eyed me suspiciously. "What are you talking about?"

"There are some vampires that have special gifts—"

"Gifts?"

I looked to Jasper for help.

He sent Charlie excitement, who hooted at something on the TV. When Jasper pulled the emotion back, Charlie sagged into his chair. "What was that? I felt all excited and now I just feel... normal."

"I'm an empath, Sir. I can control and project emotions onto other people. That's what Bella means when she said vampires have gifts."

"Do all vampires have gifts?"

"Not all of them, no." Jasper said.

"What about your... family?"

"Only Edward and Alice; Edward has the ability to read minds and Alice can see the future based on the course a person decides to take."

Charlie sat silent, considering his words. "What does any of this have to do with Bella being pregnant?"

"Well, there was a vampire who is able to send a person to any reality that he wishes. He charmed an antique mirror, which Esme ended up buying. The mirror was meant to draw a specific person towards it, and then send them to a reality of his choosing." I paused. "Do you understand?"

"Not at all,"

Jasper spoke up. "Bella was essentially sent to an alternate reality by a mirror."

It annoyed me how easy he made it seem.

Charlie's face paled. "Go on."

"I was sent to a different reality, set in the late nineteenth century. While I was there, I had to pose as their Bella, who, to my knowledge, came into this one."

Speaking of which, I still had no idea what happened to that Bella; was she still in this reality or was she sent back when I returned here?

Jasper

When Bella stopped talking, I couldn't help but wonder just what she was thinking about.

To be honest, I was a little interested in hearing what happened. Our realities were so different but from what Bella said, everything was turning out exactly the way it was there. The issue that Edward cheated on Bella is such an unusual event. Was his affair with Angela just a onetime thing? Or was it a continued affair?

It was strange to think Angela would hurt Bella this way. Especially after what Ben did to her. Out of everyone at Forks High School, Angela was the one who had genuine, friendly feelings towards Bella. That was the problem about humans. No matter how close you are to someone, they could still stab you in the back when you least expected it. I wondered if Angela felt guilty.

I tuned in when Bella started speaking again. She told us how Renee was there, how Emmett was her brother—Emmett would have laughed boisterously—and how Charlie had died from a heart attack.

Charlie flinched when he heard it. I couldn't blame him.

Bella told Charlie how she was engaged to me, told him about the wedding. I knew she was leaving out details she didn't want him to know.

"Are you saying Carlisle was the only vampire there?"

She nodded. "I know. I thought it was weird too." She said. "But Carlisle was always there. He offered to help me get back home. When I found out I was pregnant, my relationship with Jasper was falling apart at the seams. He tried to make up for everything but it was like taking one step forward, two steps back."

I could feel his anger towards me building. I would have liked to point out that I wasn't the same person but it wouldn't have mattered to him. I would still be evil in his eyes.

Finally, Bella told him about Archer and how she returned to our reality with no idea how she got here.

"Carlisle told me the babies are healthy." She finished. "He took an ultrasound this morning."

"Bab-ies?" he stuttered. "You're having twins?"

She nodded, rubbing her belly affectionately. "Boys,"

For a minute, I could feel Charlie's excitement. I could understand why he was feeling that way. He would have grandsons; he would be able to do all the things he was never able to do with Bella.

"So are you still going to marry Edward?"

"Hell no!"

"Bella!"

"What? That rat bastard cheated on me."

Charlie's anger skyrocketed. Alarmed, I sent him a healthy dose of calm. "It'll do you no good, Chief. You'll only break your hand if you try punching him and a bullet won't cause any damage."

"Emmett's probably ripping him to pieces as we speak." Bella said cheerfully.

I had no doubt in my mind that she was correct.

Carlisle

"EMMETT MCCARTY CULLEN! YOU LET YOUR BROTHER GO THIS INSTANT!"

Esme's body was vibrating with anger, not only at Emmett for breaking very rare, precious pieces, but also at Edward for what he did to Bella.

I couldn't blame Esme for wanting them to separate, but at the same time, I could understand why Emmett felt the need to dismember his brother.

Emmett was holding Edward's left arm in one hand and hitting him with his right arm. Venom was oozing out of his arm sockets, which I knew was painful.

"That'll teach you not to cheat on my little sister you piece of shit." Emmett said, dropping one of Edward's arms and stepping on it until the hand shattered. "You deserve everything you get."

Edward looked at me, his black eyes pleading with me. I shook my head.

You brought this on yourself, I thought. Deal with it.

I knew it was harsh but I didn't condone cheating; especially for someone like Bella. She had had more than enough heartbreak.

Edward had been my oldest companion. I had seen him do things that I was able to forgive, but this... I couldn't forgive him for this. Bella didn't deserve this, especially this far into her pregnancy. Any more shocks and surprises, and she could go into early labour.

I turned around when I heard Alice come inside. "Alice? Where have you been?"

"I just needed to go for a run." She said carefully. "Too much drama,"

I frowned. Alice wasn't one to run when there were family problems. Especially when Bella was involved.

Rosalie hissed. "Why do you smell like wet dog?"

Sorry about the cliffhanger.

Actually, no I'm not. Until next time
