Cross My Heart And Hope To Die

We're all victims here

"I would had expected a different welcoming here." Dana sulked.

"Well you're not welcome here." Ade is persistent she leave but just in time for Charlie to see them both in his house.

"Wow so I guess the surprise is gone-" Charlie was in on it. Ade felt betrayed but come on, he had no idea that Ade and Dana were long broken off.

And seeing how Ade is around Dana, is giving himself flashbacks.

"How long have she been here?" Ade nudges Charlie to the kitchen, as Dana goes thru some family albums in the living area.

"Quite a while. She was staying in an inn, because she wanted to surprise you. I'll take some extra pillows out. And please clean your room."

"What? No. She is not staying here."

"Why not? Look Ade. Every relationship has its own flaws. But you gotta choose that person everyday. And you never told me about me being a grandfather. So I'll let you tell your mother that one yourself."

--------
Bella gets dropped off by Edward and they see Dana. Edward gets this indifferent feeling from her. He can read her mind but somehow she has a way to make her head complicated. He gets out of it in an instant.

"Are you okay?" Bella asks discreetly, as she felt his muscle spasm.

"Yeah yeah. Uhm. I have to go Bella. Chief Swan, Adrien. It was nice meeting you, Dana." Edward goes to exit.

--------

"I don't know, but there's like a blur in my visions lately. A pattern that doesnt make sense, like different events that is connected somewhere but where?" Alice tries her best to decipher it with Edward.

"Try looking at this new human at the Swan's residence."

"Oh the girl? She's no threat." Alice proclaimed casually as Rosalie raise a brow.

Clearly Dana's presence may not be a threat to the vampire beings but Rosalie isn't liking that face around Forks.

"Looks like someone got your snack." Jasper teased, making Rosalie glare at him. Only making everyone chuckle.

"What the hell does that even mean? She's merely human."

Edward gives that phrase a thought. Merely Human, and yet here they are frustrated on what has come to Forks. Like some quiet chaos swirling just below their noses.

"I'm just saying lets keep an eye on her." Rosalie added.

------

"That is not mine." Ade points at Dana's slight womb bump. It wasnt that obvious that she's 4 months away,  though some mothers would be glowing from pregnancy, and Dana is looking like her life is being sucked out of her, and Charlie being a soft father he is, of course its no question that they give Dana the best care they can. "What is your reason really?"

"I came here for you, Ade."

"Lie."

"Actually she is telling you the truth." Edward was already in the room with them. He got this habit of being feeling at home in the Swans now.

"Wow. Thank you for believing me." Dana said in a relieved tone tho not even a slightest frustration on how a person who had just met her yesterday wouldn't doubt her.

------

As Bella joins the Cullens residence while Ade is struggling having Dana in their house, they discuss Dana's presence, she was a blocker, somehow, could it be that the one in her womb is definitely a swan? Alice gets a vision that makes her drop her plate.

"Newborn" she said.

"You mean still born?" Bella asked as if a vampire would make a mistake at that.

"No. Newborns. A whole lot of them." Alice looks at her family in a panic. Edward was more concerned as seeing Alice's vision, this is all orchestrated by Victoria, for sure. But Dana is clear. She wasn't doing anything harmfull. Or was it the effect of her unborn child? Does the child have the same capabilities as a Swan bloodline? Something was infiltrating the Swan residence and they didn't even notice it.

"She's like a parasite huh?" Rosalie judged harshly.

"We're not to harm her. Not until we get to the bottom of this." Carlisle makes it clear. Whatever they do will backfire on them. Moreso, Dana is part of the Swan family in their knowledge.

------

Meanwhile back at the Swan residence. Dana gets an intense body cramp, she almost falls but thanks to Ade's fast reflexes, she didn't hit the ground. He carefully places her to the couch. And despite their quarrels she takes it to himaelf to give her care half heartedly tho.

"Its your first time being pregnant, but I know damn well that this isnt normal." Ade is angry. Mad angry. But was it the heart in him that made his eyes softer. That at some point Dana was the thing he cared for the most, and he questions the child she carries. Understandable. But was it a bit of sadness that he knows it isnt his, or he wished it was his. "Thats it. I'll take you back to the city. You're doctor is there right? We can get an appointment as soon as we land." It was an impulse. Like was it something he wanted to start over with.

"No. Don't." But Dana realized that Ade was suggesting them together. "You're going to?" She was taken aback. Almost crying but held it together. "I can't go back. I have no one back there." Then she tucks in pain. But Ade could only think of one person who can help her.

Carlisle.

--------

"Hi Dana, I'm Carlisle." He gives her a gentle smile, Dana is uncomfortable but at the same time mesmerized by him.

And of course with a human in their residence, Rosalie goes to see whats going on. And she rolled her eyes in disappointment.

"Oh so that's why it smells so bad in here." Carlisle gives her a scolding stance without even looking.

"Why don't you give our guest a glass of water." She didn't like it but goes out of their hair anyway. Though she feels oddly weird about Dana and its not just because she is someone new, there's something about her that everyone can't seem to point out if they like it or not.

Rosalie and Edward exchanged looks.

He flinches in pain a bit. Rosalie noticed it.

"What happened?" She asks curiously and concerned.

"I'm not quite sure."
