Prologue

The drive is long and I am tried, I have been on the road for the past 2 weeks, stopping on off. We spent some in Montana, where Emmett, Rosalie and Charlotte spend some time with Emmett's parents before joining me. Alice and Jasper are due back from their honeymoon in 2 weeks. We will all gather at my childhood home as we decide on our next move. Odd, how we have become as close as siblings. We are friends who have decided we want to be together always as that was what was important to us.

I look back, Charlie is sleeping in the back seat, strapped in, game boy still in his hands as he sleeps, his head hanging oddly to the side, mouth open. He looks so much like Edward, his father.

Edward… he been in my thoughts more than usual, not only looking at Charlie is a reminder, but returning here has been plaguing my thoughts, bringing up memories I don't want to remember

I am entering a the little town of Forks, where I grew up with my dad, Charlie and my son's namesake, another 10 minutes I will be home, in my childhood home.

Chapter 1

Bella

I awake with a start, Charlie jumping on the bed, "We made it" he says smiling; he just lost one of his front teeth, so his smile looks lopsided and very cute. Ruffling his crazy ass hair inherited from his father, I laugh "Yes we did, now get off me so I can get to the bathroom, or I going to go potty right here on the bed"

'Potty, really mom, who says potty anymore" he snorts, "You need to piss?"

"Charles Edward Swan, do not let me hear you say that word, where did you hear that word" I am shocked

"umm Uncle Jasper, I told him had to go and I heard him tell Auntie Alice I had to take a piss", he quickly covers his mouth with his hand, eyes wide and the tips of his ear red. "It's ok" I say, Potty is too much a baby word, he just turned 6, how about "pee" I say let's use the word " pee rather than piss"

"ok' he says, a bright smile lighting up his beautiful face, " you gotta pee?" he asks.

I huff yes, jump out of bed and head to the bathroom, "go get changed, we need food, we need to go grocery shopping" I hear a muffled response, running feet, he is off.

I used the bathroom and grab a tooth brush and start my morning routine. Welcome home Bella Swan, I mutter as get ready to face my hometown, memories and all.
