Present Day

Today is September 13th, on this day I always take the day off of work at the hospital, pull the children out of school and spend the day with my family. This day we remember our human families and loved ones. It was a tradition I began after I was turned in honor of my little one, my Bella. She was my daughter from my marriage while I was human. She was only 3 the night that I was attacked. I was never able to return to see her, scared about what her reaction of me would be and for her own safety. The 13th of September is when I determined her birthday to be, as dates where not documented as well when I was human; and as a family we chose this day to celebrate those in our lives who could not continue with us.

**Flashback**

"Bella, Bella, my little one!" I exclaimed tossing my daughter in the air. She replied with her giggles and her yells of "Papa!" I had just returned from visiting my father at his parish and discussing plans for tonight's hunt. My wife, Sophia, watched on as I played with my little one, giving me a scowl and muttering under her breath. Sophia was not pleased with our arranged marriage and became less so with the arrival of Isabella. She had been hoping for someone who had status in the court, not the son of a pastor. We both fulfilled our obligations and produced my little one, however we were unable to produce a son and due to complications during the delivery of Bella, another child would never be.

Later that evening as I was placing my little one to bed I prayed with her. As I kissed her on her forehead I whispered my love for her. "Papa, take care. I love you- always!" with that statement she wrapped her little arms around my neck and placed butterfly kisses on my face. I replied "As I you, now to sleep, with dreams of angels and sweets." I left her in her room and said my farewell to Sophia. I never returned that night.

**End Flashback**

A snort from Edward drew me out of my memories what is it you find amusing? "Papa, I never get tired of hearing a little girl calling you Papa." As soon as he was finished, one of my other son's, Emmett, collapsed on the floor in a fit of laughter. "That's it; I am calling you that from now on!" While today is a day of remembrance we do not mourn our loved ones, we celebrate their memories and pray they had lived happy lives.

Jasper and Alice walked through the doorway after their run with grim looks on their faces. Jasper spoke first "I spoke with Sam Uley, he stated that another vampire has been running in the area. He said that they have not spotted him, but stated that we need to find them and maintain that they stay off of their lands and not kill a human or they will consider the treaty broken." Rose and Emmett both jumped off the coach and began heading to the door with matching looks of fury; however stopped dead in their tracks with Alice's next words: "They are no danger to us or the humans," with a smirk on her face "the only group that needs to fear them are the dogs, besides they are not."

Emmett turned around and looked directly at Alice before speaking "So wait, how many are there?" Jasper spoke at this "only 1 scent has been picked up by the wolves, and we were followed it north for a while before returning to inform you." Alice spoke up after "Also for some reason I am unable to locate this vampire's future, but as of now we will not be crossing any paths with them." This statement seemed to calm the rest of us down, and we were able to return to our memories and the original purpose of the day.
