A/N This is unedited! I really just wanted to get something up because I've been hard core slacking!

Previously 

There was a light almost fragile knock at the door to my hospital room. I took a deep breath and before I invited them in. "Come in"

When I seen the lady come in my jaw dropped and so did hers. Wow I can't believe it's her. She's the mysterious relative.

"My gosh dear" was all that stubbled from her lips.

Wow I can't believe all of this is happening, It's uncanny. Everything seems so familiar yet still so foreign. I can hardly believe my eyes, I never expected it to be her, of all people how can it be her!

"Hello again Isabella"

"Hello Grace"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Bella's POV

What the heck is going on here. Out of all people how could Grace end up being the one I'm related too? Why is she even forks? This is all insane I can't believe any of this is happening I feeling I'm in the book "the series of unfortunate events" I mean I love the book but It doesn't have a happy ending. I think thats why I love the book so much though, It's realistic because there no such thing as happy endings. 

Grace rushed over to hug me. I subtly flinched but it was hardly noticeable. "Oh dear, I thought I would never see you again" She hugged me tightly. This time I flinched, not in fear but in pain. She instantly released me taking a step back to examine my face. "My granddaughter" 

Her what? How can I be her granddaughter, my grandparents were dead both sides were gone. "My grandmother died" I stated flatly looking away. How could she be standing her? I was told she DIED! 

When I was younger me and my grandma had a very close bond. We did everything together. When my mother died she turned into my second mother until she "Died'. She died a year after my mother did, and thats when my father really started to pick up the slack. I know it's awful but sometimes It's easier to remember the things I got to do with my grandmother rather than my own mother.

"I'm right here" She spoke slowly as if she was trying to construct the perfect sentence. "Your Father and I, thought it might be best If you thought I had died. At the time your dad was getting to the deeps of his depression and he didn't know how much longer he'd have to care for you. I offered to take you but at the time I was very sick. You are too young to remember any of this but I was ill with cancer. The doctors told me I had a 10% chance of survival, no one expected me to survive. I and so many others gave up to me, I got visitors daylily that came to say there goodbyes" She smiled at me "We thought It would be easier if you go adjusted to the home rather than loosing your dad and then me. I'm not sure If you remember but you leaned to hard on your father after I "passed" It brought you too closer than anyone thought possible. I never thought I would actually come out of this" 

I lend back on the hospital bed (Which was adjusted into a sitting position). How could any of this be happening? I lost my grandma. Grandma Swan died. "If it helps, as soon as I realized I was going to live I searched for you, but when I finally found the orphanage that you were being held at they told me it was too late, that you had already been adopted. I asked if I could get any information on where you currently were hoping maybe that they'd let me see you, but all the information was classified"

If it's fair some of this  does make sense and I'm glad she at least tried to look for me, but certain aspects of this story and ridiculous and I have no Idea why either her or my father thought It would be a good Idea to tell me she died. Did neither of them realized how close I was with her? They told me I wasn't "old" enough to attend the funeral, think back on that I should have pried a little harder because I was old enough to attend my mothers. "I'm truly sorry about this all Isabella. I know it's only fair for me to take the bla-"

I cut her off "Stop right there! I've had enough people come in here and try to blame themselves. It's no ones fault except my own-" She tried to cut me off but I stopped her, holding up my pointer finger to symbolize her to stop " I know your going to say the same thing as everyone else has "Its not your fault" but Im so sorry if you haven't realized this before, but it is my fault. I had many occasions to call for help to get myself out of the situation but NO! I was cowardly and didn't take the opportunity's. Please resit from telling me it's not my fault because I'm finally starting to accept what has happened" She nodded. This all came out a lot harsher than I meant it to but I'm not going to lie I was/am a little infuriated.

"I know you might not want my help, but please let me show you how much I love you give me another chance to prove that I care. I will never let anything like this happen to you again" I never related to someone so much until now.

"Yes" I whispered. She looked at me in shock obviously not expecting I'd agree to give her a second chance. "I know how It feels to let someone down" I explained "Every word that came out of your mouth is how I'm currently feeling toward Mungo. All I want for him is for him to know how sorry I am that I ever let any of this happen, I want him to know that even though I didn't act like a good mother I could be one If I tried, I want him to know that I love him and I will never let anyone hurt him ever again. I understand how I feels to want a second chance. I also know that If I was ever refused one there would be no knowing of what I would do." 

She smiled widely and pulled me in for another hug. "Thank you so much Isabella. I promise I will prove to you once again the amount of love I have in my heart ready to be shared with both you and Mungo"

"Wait one more thing" She looked at me concerned. "Please don't call me Isabella, It's Bella"

"I'll do my best to remember that. I hope you can also find It in your heart to call me grandma once again" She hugged me again.

Gosh all this hugging is new, If i'm honest I don't know how I feel about this new hands on approach to the expression love. Of course I do the same to Mungo but I hardly know this women. This has been one crazy day. 


A/N I hope you enjoyed this chapter I'll be editing it later, I'm REALLY sorry if I was hard to understand with all the spelling, grammar, and possibly the actual construction of a sentence, errors. Please let know what you thought. Next chapter Bella will be moving in with Grace. 

I wanted Bella to live with a relative because In books like this I find the characters always end up living with the Cullen's and I'm not sure how realistic that is. 

AGAIN sorry for all the errors!
