Lost

part 3

Rosalie ran upstairs to check on her mate. To her surprise she found Bella sitting with Jasper giggling at something Jasper had told her. Jasper looked up when she got to the doorway and nudged Bella. The human girl looked up. She waved at Rosalie.

"Do you want something else to eat?" Rosalie questioned. Bella thought about it for a minute before nodding. "Is there anything in particular you want?"

"Spaghetti?" Bella asked unsure.

"Sure," Rosalie said, walking over to her closet and grabbing her sweatshirt for Bella.

"One minute Rosalie," Alice yelled.

"One minute for what?" Bella asked, pulling on the sweatshirt.

"Edward, Carlisle and Esme will be back," Rosalie replied. "We have some things to discuss and then we can see about getting you something to eat."

"Okay," Bella agreed.

"Can you walk downstairs or do you want me to carry you?" Rosalie questioned.

Bella bit her lip. "Carry her," Jasper muttered low enough that Bella couldn't hear him. "She's in pain but won't ask you to do anything for her. She already think you've done too much."

Rosalie nodded and slowly walked over to Bella. "I'm going to touch you," Rosalie warned softly, before reaching over and lifting Bella off the bed.

"I can walk," Bella protested weakly.

Rosalie ignored her and carried her downstairs to the couch. Emmett sat on the chair across from the couch. Jasper sat on the couch beside Bella, close enough to calm Bella if necessary but far enough away so he wouldn't scare her.

"They're coming," Alice announced. She looked at Bella. "Hi Bella, I'm Alice. I know we are going to be great friends."

Bella glanced at Rosalie and then at Jasper. "She's been looking forward to meeting you for a while," Jasper told her.

Bella nodded as the back slider opened. Bella jumped at the sound and Rosalie stroked her arm. "It's okay Bella," Rosalie muttered. "You're okay."

"What's going on?" Carlisle demanded walking into the living room. He noticed Bella sitting near Jasper and frowned. "Hello Bella."

"Bella," Edward exclaimed stepping toward her. Rosalie growled as Bella flinched. She pulled the sweater tighter against her body.

"Rosalie, what is going on?" Carlisle repeated.

"I have a few questions for your Golden Boy," Rosalie said. Carlisle frowned again.

Edward pulled his attention away from Bella. "What is it?" he asked. He wanted to get this discussion, whatever it was as he couldn't read their thoughts, over with so he could go back to wooing Bella.

The way he saw it what happened to Bella was unfortunate and something he wouldn't wish on anyone, but it was merely a bump in the road. He didn't believe Rosalie's claim that Bella was her mate. It was obvious Bella was his mate. After all he couldn't read her mind, and she was his singer. It was Fate and Edward couldn't be convinced otherwise.

He would allow Rosalie to help her heal because Rosalie was her best bet but Edward had a plan to woo Bella away from his unstable sister. There was no way he would allow Rosalie, who had fed on humans, to spend too much time with his mate.

"Were you in Port Angeles?" Rosalie asked though she knew the answer. She was giving him the chance to come clean. If he was honest then his punishment wouldn't be so bad.

"Rosalie what are you..." Rosalie cut Carlisle off. This was between her and Edward. Carlisle needed to learn to keep his mouth shut.

"Answer the question Edward," Rosalie snapped.
