The Hale Daughter Rises

Passing Out Isnt Fun

Right before lunch, I got a text from Alice ~Can you come to lunch I have a surprise for the whole table.~ -Alice. I said, "Hey Em I am going to join Bella for lunch." She said, "Have fun." I put Addie in her seat and drove to the school. I sat next to Edward and put Addie on my lap. She immediately stole his pizza. Mike said "My fellow students. Cool. Right? right?" Jess said "Cute." He said "We are the future. Anything is possible... ... If you just believe. Blah, blah, blah... Perfect. And got yourself a speech." He handed Jess the page who crumbled it into a ball and threw it at his face making Addie laugh as she said "No, this will be my speech. When I want everyone to throw diplomas at my head. So... Thank you." Mike said, "Ya gotta embrace the cliches, Jess." Eric said, "They have the bread and butter of all valedictorians." Angela said, "And that is why you are not valedictorian." I said "And Jess doesn't need cliches. Speech is gonna be epic." Jess said "Epic? It'll change lives." Alice and Jasper sat down next to me. Alice said, "Why haven't you come over?" I said, "I'm tired Ali, she screams when I put her down." Jasper wrapped his arm around me so I laid my head on his shoulder and ate his Bosco stick. Alice said, "I decided to throw a party." Jasper said, "After all, how many times are we gonna graduate high school?" Edward and I stifled a smile as Angela said "A party? At your place?" Jess said, "I've never seen your house." Eric said, "No one's ever seen their house." Edward rolled his eyes "Another party, Alice?" Alice said, "It'll be fun." Bella and I said "Yeah. That's what you said last time." Suddenly she froze. Mike said "Well cool, that's really uh... normal of you. What time? Dress code? Bring anything? Cheetos?" To cover Edward said, "Wake up, Alice." Jasper said, "She hasn't been getting much sleep lately, senior jitters." I said, "Well I'll see you all later then."

During the weekend Bella and Edward went to Flordia. The pack and the Cullens chased Victoria. During this Emmett crossed sides and Paul attacked him shoving him into the river. Jake said, "Im gonna go see Bella." I warned him "Jacob." He said "Chill, im over her but I still want to be friends with her. I said "Just friends?" He said "Just friends." He left and I looked around Emily said "I don't know if I believe him." Sam said, "I don't either." I leaned against Nick who was leaning against the counter. He wrapped his arms around me and Addie smacked his hands "MY MOMMY!" We all stared at her I said "Oh this is getting old real fast." Sam said, "What's gonna happen when you give birth?" I sighed I was tired and irritated but I said: "Sue says Leah did the same thing so hopefully when she meets the twins and sees I still have time for her she will stop." After breakfast, we headed outside and saw Jale and Bella. Embry said, "Look who's back." Quil said, "What up, Bella?" She said, "Quil, you too?" 

Quil said "Yep. Finally made the pack. I'm glad you're here, Bella. Maybe we can get a break from Jake's obsessive inner monologue." Paul said, "I wish Bella would call." Jared said, "I wish Bella wouldn't call." Embry said, "Maybe I should call Bella." Nick said, "Maybe I should call Bella and hang up." Jake said, "Alright, you can shut up now." The boys laughed and pushed each other. Leah came put, kissed Addie's cute little face then glared at Bella as Jake said "Bella, this is Leah Clearwater. Harry's daughter." Bella said "Hey. I'm sorry about your father." Leah said "If you're here to torture Jacob some more, feel free to leave. Aqua, mom wants you, Nick, and Addie to come over for dinner." Then she headed into the woods. Jake said "Fun, isn't she?" I said "Jake how would you feel? Cut her some slack." Emily hugged Bella "Bella... Hi. I was wondering when we'd see your face around here again." Bella said, "Yeah, same here." Jake said, "Sam, we're good?" Sam said "We're good. She won't be getting through our line anytime soon." The boys cheered and ran off into the woods. I felt a little dizzy so I sat on the porch and laid my head against the railing and closed my eyes.

(3rd POV)

Aqua sat down on the stairs and quickly passed out, Addie said "Mommy? Mommy?" Sam and Emily heard her and turned around to see Addie trying to wake her mother. Sam quickly said, "Call Nick and Sue." And pulled the toddler off her lap who started to cry. He ignored her and tried to wake Aqua. Sue, Billy, Nick, and the pack rushed back. Bella said, "Is she ok?" Sue said "I don't know Bella. Emily gets a blanket out here so we can lay her on the grass." Billy was trying not to cry as he held Addie who was crying.  He said, "Addilyn, I need you to be quiet so Sue can help mommy." She tried to quiet her cries as Billy rocked her to sleep. Once the blanket was laid on the grass Nick laid Aqualyn on the blanket. Nick and Jake each held one of her hands as Sue first checked on the babies. They were thriving so she checked Aqua's stats. Sue looked very worried "How many times a day does she eat?" Everyone kind of just looked at each other. Sue asked, "How much water is she drinking?" Again no one knew the answer. "Sleeping? Is she getting rest?" Silence Billy said, "Has anyone made sure she is taking care of herself since she is so busy with Addie?" Again silence. Sue and Billy were in disbelief Sue said "She passed out from dizziness. She is dehydrated and not eating enough, she is also exhausted. She sees you all daily how did none of you catch that she was overdoing herself?" Jared said, "She never asked for help otherwise we would have." Billy said "She isn't going to ask for help. Do you boys remember how she was last year when you met her?" Everyone nodded and he continued "That doesn't just go away. The eating disorder doesn't just go away. The mindset of if she needs help she is now a burden doesn't just go away." Sue said "Take it from a mother, now that she is pregnant and has Addie she doesn't think of herself. She only thinks about the three babies she is now responsible for. Plus you all eat all the time how has she not been?"
