"So I may have been wrong about Bella." Adelaide tells her family. "She is smart and can tell that Edward is trying to keep her from finding out. I don't know how she knows, but her curiosity and suspicious are gone. She is assisting that she finds out the truth."

"So no matter how much Edward redirects Bella, she won't stop till she learns the truth."

"Yep." She replies. "She may be family, but that girl is meant to be one of us. Right, Alice?"

"Yep."

"She deserves a human life." Edward and Rosalie said.

"To her, she doesn't and one way or another, she will be one of us despite what you want." Adelaide says as she felt Jasper take her hand. "Edward, you brought her in by leaving and now she wants to know you better. I don't hate her or do I wish she was dead. She's the only family from my bloodline that is alive."

When no one said a word, Adelaide sat down in Jasper's lap and buried her face in his chest. There was no turning back for them and all they could do was let things go with the flow. Eventually, someone would have figured them out and who better than Bella Swan herself.

At lunch, Adelaide was sitting with her family when she saw Edward walking to Bella. "She's one step closer." Rosalie said making Adelaide close her eyes. 'None of this should be happening."

"Would you have a big mouth like Jessica knowing or Bella?" Adelaide asked. "Not once has she tried to get attention on us. All she has done was ask questions about our social lives. Which this was your idea for us to stay away from humans."

"They don't..."

"Its not coming in our lives if we actually had friends with humans." Adelaide said calmly as she stood up. "Carlisle wanted us all to blend in and how the hell are we blending in if we don't socialize with other human. We were lucky over the years, but we finally met someone who caught on."

"Adelaide, she shouldn't know."

"Let Edward be the one to choose because I already see how he looks at her. I will keep Bella Swan alive and if it ever came to it. I will turn her too." Adelaide said as she walked away.

Jasper stood up and looked at them. "Adelaide is right and I know she is right. I rather have Bella know instead of one of those who like to gossip." He tells them. "And she is right about letting Edward make his decision and I am rooting for him and Bella, despite how I feel about being around humans. This is in Edward's hands not ours."

They watched as Jasper walked away looking for Adelaide. Marylin looked at them and smiled. "I told you she would say something and she finally did."

"Remind me to thank her." Edward said as he sat down. "She's close to finding out and I don't know when she does, but I'm ready to answer everything along with Adelaide."
