I Wish This Was Different

CHAPTER 5

Rosalie laughed, "Why should we help you?" she hissed. I glanced toward her but deciding to ignore her comment.
"We will help her because she is family, and family stick together." Carlisle calmly answered.
"She is not family," she hissed, "she's just some stupid whore."
"Rosalie, don't talk about her that way." I was surprised that it was Emmett who stuck up for me this time.
"What kind of trouble are you in?" Jasper spoke, in his quiet voice.
I again looked to Carlisle, this time he spoke up.
"The Volturi are after her." He answered just as calmly as before.
"And you expect us to what, help you fight them off!" Rosalie screeched.
"No," I answered immediately, "and a fight isn't what they want."
"They want her to join them." Carlisle sighed.
"No, Alley." Esme had a look of pure horror on her face.
"Yes." I said.
"You aren't going to join, are you?" She asked in a choked sob.
"Its the only way to protect Noah." I whispered looking down.
"Who is that boy?" Emmett asked.
I looked him straight in the eye, trying to decide whether or not to tell him. Glancing at Carlisle, I got my answer. It was time to tell him, to tell them all.
"Noah is my son." I said turning back to look at him.
"An immortal child!" Rosalie hissed, "no wonder they're after you."
"He isn't an immortal child," Carlisle voiced, "I was there for the birth."
"His birth? When?" Esme asked.
"Three years ago. Alice had a vision that I was hurt, or so she thought she, and Carlisle came back to Seattle. They got there just in time to save my life. Carlisle turned me." I explained.
"That was where you guys disappeared to for a week." Esme sighed.
"Yes, but we couldn't tell you that. We promised Alley that we would keep her secret. Both of her secrets." he calmly spoke.
"Both?" Jasper quietly pressed.
"Yes, both. My power being the second." I replied, looking to him.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I can track people. Know exactly where they are, what they're doing, who they're with, how long it would take to get to them, and if they have a power like Edward or Alice, I can communicate with them." I replied.
"Noah is your son?" Emmett asked still trying to figure out how that was possible.
"Yes." I replied bluntly.
"You had him three years ago."
"Yes."
"But he looks ten." He spoke.
"Thats what happens when you have a half human, half vampire kid." I shrugged.
"Oh ok- wait what?!" He asked. I was expecting that.
