Destiny, Whether You Like It Or Not

Chapter 20:
BPOV
This was awkward. I mean this give new definition to awkward. The Cullens and the Texans (I’m thinking of having Texas Coven bowling shirts made) were sitting in the living room. Hannah was next to Victoria. I had little Bella in my lap. She wouldn’t stay in her room and I didn’t want her getting into the middle of any fights that may break out so I kept her where I could protect her. Garrett was next to me. Char and Peter were on the other side of the room standing by the window. Peter had a fucking grin on his face and Garrett was glaring at him. He knew this was coming. Asshole. A little warning would have been nice. Jasper must be cranking the juice on the Edward, Vicky and Hannah because they were calm. Calmer. Calmer than they had been.
Carlisle spoke. “Alright, now that we aren’t trying to kill each other, what is going on?”
Victoria spoke first. “Hannah is my mate.”
“No she isn’t.” Edward responded. Okay. Good we have a starting point.
“Yes I am Edward!” Hannah responded.
“We have a child! Victoria is a female. A blood thirsty evil female!”
“I’m gay Edward!”
That quieted the room. I mean we all knew but that was the first time it had been spoken by Hannah.
“You are not gay, Hannah.”
“I think I would know Edward.”
“We had sex.”
“Once and don’t remind me! It sucked. If I wasn’t gay before that, it was certainly the thing that tipped me over the edge.” Emmett laughed. So not the time Emmett.
“Victoria isn’t gay. She was with James!”
I felt this needed some clarification.
“Vicky are you gay?”
“Bella how can you speak to her!? She wanted you dead!”
“Shut up Edward. Me and Vicki are cool. We’ve done each other’s nails and shit.”
“You let her do your nails!” I heard Alice say indignantly. Way to keep focus on the important things Alice.
“Bella I have always been I guess you could say, not choosy about my partners private parts.” Vicki informed the group.
“And you and Hannah are certain you are mates? Do you feel the pull to each other?” Esme asked.
“Yes Esme. I felt it the moment I laid eyes on her.” Hannah said, staring at Edward.
“I have seen it Edward. They are mates. I’m sorry.” Alice whispered.
“When the hell did you see it Alice?” Edward practically shouted despite Jasper’s calming influence.
“It’s why we ran back from Seattle.”
“I refuse to believe this. Hannah you are my wife!”
“I WANT A DIVORCE!”
“Fine. Go off and live with this red headed abomination! But you will not take our daughter and you will not live in this house!” Edward said rising up. Garrett stood up quickly and pushed Edward back in the chair. “Sit down boy.” Garrett was not in a good mood. I guess he was catching a lot of fish.
“You will not take my Mate’s daughter!” Vicki said rising up out of her seat.
Edward looked at little Bella. He did not need to put this child in this position. Don’t do it Edward. Please.
“Izzy who would you like to be with?” Fuck Edward. You asshole.
Little Bella to my surprise looked him in the eye. “My mommy.”
Edward sat back deflated. “I can’t believe this.”
“Edward you kind of brought it on yourself, changing a girl who wasn’t your mate.”
“Shut up Rose.”
“Go fuck yourself Edward.” Rose replied in her usual tone.
“Get out. Get out of this house Hannah. And take our little girl with you. She has apparently made her intentions clear.”
“No.” Esme spoke quietly but clearly.
“No? Esme I am not going to allow her to live in this house having sexual relations in front of my daughter.”
“No. I left Bella once because of you and you will not be followed again. Ever again. I will never make that mistake again. Rose is right. You brought this upon yourself. Hannah is going nowhere. If you don’t like it, you can leave. As a matter of fact I think that would probably be best.”
Wow. Didn’t see that one coming.
“And you agree with her Carlisle?” Edward said looking to daddy.
Carlisle looked Edward in the eyes. “You can’t keep mates apart. It’s impossible. And they are a part of this family. If you can’t deal with that you need to leave.”
Edward had a look of disbelief on his face. “You know what? Fine! I have had it with all of you! You can all go to hell. And Esme I don’t care if she has a heartbeat. She isn’t your daughter. No matter how much you want a baby or Rose wants a baby she isn’t yours!”
I never thought I would ever see what I saw next. Edward was flying through the front window. Esme hit him. She hit him hard. She went after him out the window. She tore his arm off. She hit him with his arm. All of us were to in shock to do anything. She continued to hit him in the face with his own arm. His face was cracking. Little Bella whispered in my ear.
“Grandma is mad Bella.”
“Yes. Yes she is Bella.”
Carlisle was the first to snap out of it and jumped out the window after them Peter was on the ground with venom tears in his eyes laughing. He definitely knew this was coming. Asshole. Carlisle pulled Esme off of Edward and she launched his arm into the woods. A good throw. I would say about 200 yards. Edward stood up a little shaky on his feet. Esme ran back through the window and we all got the fuck out of her way. Where was she going… Oh shit!
We hit the ground and saw what looked like a big wooden lump being launched out the window flying towards Edward.
“Take your fucking piano with you!” It him Edward in the head.
She then ran to the garage. Edward was staring at her in disbelief. We all were. I heard the sound of metal crunching. She stepped out of the garage with a large metal ball and threw it in the direction his arm flew off too.
“And take your fucking Volvo! And that is all you get you fucking spoiled brat! I ever see you again you are ashes Edward Cullen! ASHES!”
“Grandma is really, really mad Bella.”
“Yes,” I whispered. “She is very, very mad.”
Edward looked at Carlisle in disbelief.
“It’s time for you to leave Edward. Good luck with your life.” Carlisle told him.
Edward glared at Hannah and Vicki. He glared at his daughter. Wait is he glaring at me? What the fuck did I do? I shot the finger at him. I couldn’t resist.
Edward was gone. He ran in the direction of his arm.
So we were all silent. Esme was no longer taking deep breaths. Carlisle had a sad look on his face. Peter looked at Garrett who stood still, too shocked to move.
“And you wanted to stay in Texas. Shame on you Garrett.”
Garrett shot the finger at Peter. Char was staring at me. I’ve seen that look before… wait is she horny? So not the time Char.
I looked at the others in the room. Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Rose were standing as still as statues. Then Emmett broke out in a grin and rushed Esme. He picked her up in a bear hug.
“Hell yeah Momma!”
Carlisle cleared his throat. The Denali’s came downstairs. They all had looks of shock on their pretty faces. Alice had told me recently in secret that Tanya had always had a thing for Edward. I don’t suppose I will get lucky enough that she may go after him.
“So Victoria.” Carlisle began. “What brought you here today?”
“Oh shit, I almost forgot. You guys know a lady named Irina right?”
We all nodded our heads.
“Well that bitch has lost her mind. If she isn’t careful the Volturi are going to come for her.”
“Actually Vicki we all kicked the crap out of the Volturi a couple weeks ago. They won’t be coming after anybody for a very long time. Ever if they know what’s good for them.”
“You guys beat the Volturi. Fuck…”
“Victoria why do you say Irina is crazy?” Carlisle asked, getting us back on point.
“Okay well she found me hanging out in Brazil. She told me she was Laurent’s mate and she planned to avenge him by destroying a pack of werewolves that killed him. I didn’t even know he was dead. She asked for my help and I was like sure, why not? I’ve never taken on wolves before. So I go with her to Seattle. She starts turning people. I mean a lot of people. And I’m like what the fuck are you doing? And she’s like, we have to have vampires to take on the wolves, and then I’m like your making a fucking newborn army? Are you out of your mind? And then she’s like yes and yes. And I’m like I got to get out of here. And then she attacked me but I escaped. I was going to head back to Brazil, but then I thought, you know this is not going to end well. And then I remembered the talks we had and the fun we had Bella and how I almost helped kill you when you were human and I started to feel bad. But I didn’t have any help and I didn’t know where you guys were so I thought I would come here to see if the Cullens were still her. Then I found Hannah and you were here Bella and I guess you guys know the rest.”
If vampires needed to breathe she would never have gotten that all out.
“Vicki do you know where Irina is keeping the newborns?” I asked her.
“She was in an abandoned warehouse district outside Seattle by about 10 miles. But I doubt they are there anymore.”
“Do you know how many she has?” Garrett asked.
“She had 15 when I left but I think she wanted about 20. And they were killing each other often. So the numbers were going up and down. It was crazy.”
“Could you show us exactly where she is Victoria?” Eleazor asked. “This may be our only chance to catch her before she leads the army here and dies.
“Sure, lets go.”
Hannah looked at me. “Bella can you stay with little Bella? I have to go with Vicki.”
“I understand Hannah. You know I won’t let her get hurt.”
“Garrett are you coming?” Carlisle asked.
“I have to stay with my Mate Carlisle. You know that distance would be to great.”
‘Of course. Peter, Charlotte?”
“Ahh we are going to hang out here with our coven buddies. Call us if you need us. Good luck.” Peter smiled. Char came and sat down in my lap. Little Bella poked me on the shoulder.
“What sweetie?”
“Are mommy and Vicki going to act like you and Char now?”
I guess me and Char really are obvious. I looked over at Peter.
“You knew this was going to happen.” It wasn’t a question.
“I had an idea something big was coming down yes.”
“And you didn’t think to share this idea?”
“And miss your expressions?”
