《The Unwanted Mate (Edward Cullen x OC)》Laughter and Tears

Advertisement

After meeting Alpha Sam, I walk back into the Cullen residence to add new floral arrangements to the vases around the home. I quietly hum as I dance slightly while in my own word. My thoughts keep going back to Edward and how he doesn't care for his mate, is he truly selfish or is he just blinded by obsession?

While dancing around the kitchen with my eyes closed, I gasp when I feel someone's hand on my waist. I open my eyes and see Carlisle step back and bow with his hand out for me. I giggle and curtesy before accepting his invitation to dance.

After dancing together like we used to, we hear claps behind us. I timidly turn around and if I were human I am sure I would've been bright red as all of the Cullen children are there clapping. "Did they know you could Carlisle?" I ask quietly seeing the shocked faces.

The sound of a low chuckle makes me turn back to face my uncle "no little one. I left my dancing back at the castle with you. Well I danced with Esme but not like we used to. Everyone used to love us dancing together." I can see his eyes that he is reminiscing the old days.

I turn to Jasper and walk forward looking him dead in the eye "Now Major I'm about to expose your secret. You're coming and dancing with me. Everyone will know that you truly are an amazing dancer." Before he can even respond, Alice is dragging us both outside to the patio. The look on his face is amazing, he looks like a deer in headlights but he forgets I had more information than most.

"Now Jasper don't think I don't know your full capability. I've known about you since before you decided to falsify your age to join the war." I say in a fake stern voice and by his small smirk I can tell he knows it. A once around the area shows all of the Cullen clan standing on the sidelines watching intently, probably because they know nothing of Jasper's dance skills.

All throughout the dancing, myself and Jasper are just laughing and smiling. He looks so carefree when he's dancing and I want to let him be like this more often. When we finish, the applause is overwhelming and the look on Jasper's face is enough for me to know they all are happy. "Thank you Jasper. I knew the Texas Major would be able to keep up." I say with a slight smirk and giggle before walking back over to Alice and Rosalie.

"Jasper! I didn't know you could move like that! Who knew that the introverted war god would be able to move like that?!" Emmett's booming voice and laughter fills the whole area and we all have a smile on our face.

"How was school girls? I want all of the gossip." I loop my arms through Alice's and Rosalie's arms dragging them up to my room. "Come on! I want the gossip!" I squeal and push them into the room.

The girls can't help but laugh at my excitement. "Well, Mike Newton still tries to get with Bella by flirting and just being a typical hormonal boy. Bella actually had the audacity to rant about you behind your back, she was ranting to us for half of the lunch break before we all snapped. By all I mean myself, Alice, Emmett and Jasper. I actually was surprised that Jasper was able to control himself." After Rosalie said that I look to Alice with a questioning look.

"Did he put the flower that I gave him on? That's all that I can think of. That can control even his alter." I say while fiddling with my fingers thinking. Alice squeezes my shoulder "Don't worry about Bella. We don't like her. We stand by you and you alone. Who else would give us pretty flowers?" She asks as a joke and it works, I let out a little giggle.

Suddenly, the door smashes open with a bang startling all of us. "Gaia, up now!" Emmett says while picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. "Emmett! Put me down! I can walk." I say in between my laughter. My laughter seems to energise him and he just laughs with me and carries on walking down the stairs and out of the front door.

"Now Princess, we are going to have to blindfold you." That sentence from Jasper scares me but I know they won't do anything to harm me so I just nod my head and suddenly a blindfold is placed over my eyes.

I feel Emmett carry me bridal style before placing me down, they both don't say anything which is slightly frightening. All of a sudden, Jasper grabs my hand and pulls me along slowly making sure I don't fall. Jasper wraps his arm around my waist while Emmett throws his arm over my shoulder on the other side. "Now, before you see it. Just know we love you and this is because we love you." With that they remove my blindfold and I gasp at the sheer beauty of it.

The memorial in front of me takes my breath away, venom tears gather in my eyes and all I can do is stand and stare with my hands over my mouth in shock. "What....you....how....you... whats this?" I finally am able to stutter out quickly glancing at the two males either side of me before looking back at the memorial.

"It's for you munchkin. We heard how much you miss talking to Didyme with a physical thing to look at so, with the help of Esme, Jasper and I made this. We thought you would do the floral stuff as we don't have a clue." Emmett's nervous voice is actually adorable and he looks so scared. I squeal and wrap my arms tightly around the large teddy bear. "I love it!" I quickly run to Jasper and hug him tightly as well.

After a while of thinking, a lot of yellow and white flowers start to bloom around the area. Mainly daffodils, sunflowers and white roses but also a few pink stargazer lilies dotted around. "Hmm, now for the flower crown...." I tilt my head side to side thinking before I finally get inspiration.

The floral crown she added to the Didyme memorial stature is absolutely breathtaking. Adding the butterflies and the variety of colours just adds a light to the whole place that seems to capture the essence of both Gaia and Didyme perfectly. I can't help but wrap her in a tight hug and spin her round erupting us both into a fit of laughter.

That is short lived however when we all hear people come outside to where we are. Carlisle and Esme look like they would cry if they could, Rose and Alice start squealing and walking around the flowers gently making sure not to disturb anything. Edward looks in awe of his mate's talent even if he doesn't know what she is to him yet. No one saw Bella move around the side with a scowl on her face yet as we are all looking at the beautiful sculpture.

"Ahhh!" A scream sounds before we know what's happening the flowers are destroyed and then Bella moves to the statue. Gaia looks at the scene with such a broken look that would break even the most villainous person's heart. Bella continues the destruction and looks at the statue with a glint in her eye no one has ever seen in her before. The next second, we are all rushing to catch the statue before it breaks. Unfortunately, for vampires with super speed we are too slow and we all watch the sculpture break into tiny pieces.

Edward looks the most murderous as he glares at Bella with a hiss "What did you do that for?! It was a queen's memorial! That's disrespectful to not only Gaia but the whole vampire community. Didyme was a royal! She died serving our species!" He shouts at her before gently picking up the gorgeous floral crown and saving the butterflies letting them fly away before turning to Gaia.

Throughout this whole thing, Gaia must've ran off as when we all turn she's not there. "Get Bella out of here before we kill her" Carlisle's voice sounds and he looks just as heartbroken but not for himself. Jasper runs into the house and pounds on a door so loud we can hear it outside and there isn't a need for our sensitive hearing.

"Gaia please! Open the door. You need us right now, losing the memorial will bring back a lot of unwanted emotions. I can't help unless you let me in. Please." He pleads and his voice cracks at the end but to no avail as her door stay a locked.

Edward gets an idea and turns to the forest "Grace I could really do with your help and also Isa if he's around. Gaia needs you right now. She won't let us in so maybe she needs people who can't judge her all that much." We all look at him like he's lost his mind. Seconds later, a young fawn and a bunny come bounding over to him with a cute head tilt. "She's upstairs at the very end. Just try to get her to let you in please." He pleads and quickly pets the bunny before they both go inside.

"Edward....how? How did you just get a bunny and a fawn to follow your words?" Rose asks which I'm thankful for as I don't think I would've worded it so nicely. "Grace is the bunny and Isa is the fawn. Isa fell in love with Gaia when I went to apologise that night and Grace loved my presence. Grace told Gaia to tell me that if I ever need a cuddle or a bunny then just to call her. Gaia can talk to animals and she formed a special bond with those two." Edward explains before picking all of the trampled flowers up and throwing them away while Alice forcefully drags Bella to her truck.
