We didn't have much time to waist before Eleazar got here. So i had to act fast. I sent Renesmee down stairs to see if Jessica was still here. If she was i instructed her to inform Alice I was ready to come downstairs. I told Silviana to just return to her room and act as she had before. I didn't want Jessica to suspect a thing, so when she and i returned to our rooms, just than Alice had knocked at my door asking me if i wanted to join them down stairs.
I told her i was ready to go but didn't really need her help. She insisted of course and i let her have her way. One of Carlisle's Theory was that the male hybrids grew faster then the females. Hence the reason why I suffer so much morning sickness early on and the fact that Edward already was starting to hear his thoughts. Luckily i haven't suffered any serious damage. Just a few bruises here and there on my belly. Nothing i can't handle just yet.
When we got to the living room it was just Esme, Bella, and Jessica. Jessica was setting on the long couch by herself. I asked where the others where as i set at the opposite end of the couch from Jessica. Esme was the one to answer.
"Carlisle and Emmett went to the hospital for the last bet of equipment needed. He plans to perform a cesarean section. It's Edward and Jasper's turn to patrol tonight along with Leah and Seth."
"Will Carlisle and Emmett return soon?"
"They only just left a few minutes ago" said belle "look the news is on"
We stopped talking to listen and of course they began with the top story. It was about the four missing persons report. They found a clue that connected Jessica to one of the missing person from Seattle, Philip Smith. Apparently they found Jessica's hair inside the SUV that belong to him. The SUV was left at Fort Lawton Beach 15 minutes from downtown Seattle. The Seattle police Department had Jessica's parents come on live TV pleading for information leading to what had happened to Jessica and the others.
I looked over towards Jessica and could see this was getting to her. I could imagine the thoughts running through her mind at that moment. The longing to reach out. The wanting for them to know she was ok and still alive. All those feelings i had when it happened to me. Seeing my name in the newspaper and my parents picture, it had me wanting to give them an explanation a closer so to speak. Carlisle explained to me why i should leave it be even though i didn't want to. In the end it was for the best. I was protecting my new family now and after all i had found out there was good reason too.
After the news of her parents went off, Jessica lost control. She stood up so fast it was like a blink of an eye for me.
" i need to see them." Jessica said. " i need to explain what happened to me."
As bella tried to explain it to her, i realize this was the first time she had seen any news report about her disappearance. She was deeply upset and i could relate to what was going on more so then bella.
"Please calm yourself, Jessica." I spoke up."It won't do you any good. I've been in your shoes. All you can show your family is death. The Volturi will see to that no matter what." Not used to hearing my opinion or anything else for that matter, she stopped to hear me out.
That's when i began to explain my past to her despite my uncomfortableness. I have never been forthcoming like i was with Jessica just now. It was always something i kept to myself, Like many things. Only those closest to me new the truth. I felt that if i wanted Jessica here tomorrow i needed to be truthful and understanding in this moment. So i told her everything.
That i was born to a banker and his wife. How The Great Depression didn't seriously impact my family. How my parents thought my beauty would open doors for them. I told her how i enjoyed their pride in my looks, how one of my father's Pleasures was buying me beautiful clothes. The result of all this attention was that i tended to be self-absorbed and rather shallow. Something that still runs in who i am today, dispite my intentions.
I told her of my attack and how i too wanted to return to my family. I also told her what Carlisle told me so long ago. That going back to them would only result to them becoming a vampire or death. That the Voltori don't allow second chances. She seem to calm down and take in what all i had told her. I knew then that she was beginning to trust me. I looked over at Esme and Bella, they both nodded in encouragement to keep going.
"Before you make any regretful decisions, will you promise me you'll come see me tomorrow?" I asked. " i am getting rather sleepy, and don't want you to do something you'll regret."
"I promise." She replied
"Swear to me you will come see me tomorrow morning?" I asked.
"I swear i will be here in the morning."
"Thank you. Just keep in mind you going to your family puts all of us at risk. That includes your family." I reminded her then looked Alice and asked "Will you walk with me to my room? I'm ready for bed."
"Of course." Alice was by my side in an instant to help me up.
Even though i was capable of doing it myself, i didn't bother trying argue with her at this moment. I had something i wanted her to do for me. So staying on her good side would be best. As she and i headed up stairs, i took one last look at Jessica. She was back on the couch with a look of sadness on her face. I couldn't help but feel bad for her. It didn't last long though. In my head i told myself "Stop feeling sorry for her. She could be a spy."
When we got to my door i stopped and looked at Alice and asked. "Could you keep an eye on her? Make sure she don't do anything stupid? I'm worried about her."
With a look of surprise on her face she said "why Rose did becoming human finally unthaw that cold heart of yours? This is so unlike you. I'm glad you came down and sat with us. I told you she wasn't that bad." Clearly she mistaken my being worried about her for me being caring but i wasn't going to corrected her now.
"She has bella with her. i don't think she will run off and see her family." Alice continued.
" i don't know. Bella still sees her father Jessica might think it will be ok for her too. Bella's to trusting and may not pay that much attention to her with Renesmee around. Just please help Bella. Make sure she don't sneak out. I'd feel a lot better knowing you are watching her too." I pleaded with her
"I see your point. Ok, i will keep an eye on her for you. Just do me a favor and get some well needed rest. Your starting to get bags under your eyes. It doesn't look good on you." She said an turned to walk away.
I was glaring at her as she walked away and yelled after her "How dare you say that to me! Oh if i was still a vampire I'd make you pay for that comment"
"there's the Rose i know so well." She said with laughter in her voice. I was so mad that when i got in my room i slammed the door shut. I walked over to my vanity table and looked in the mirror. She was right though all this worrying was getting to me. I really did need a good nights rest. Thankfully Eleazar will be here tomorrow i thought to myself as i climbed into bed. It wasn't long after that i finally went to sleep.
