Chapter 1

BPOV

He was gone. Not forever, but for a while. It hurt when he was away. My true other half was at the Cullen Mansion. Another theory, another test. That's the way it went. In the search for answers as to why Jane's power affected my husband, Edward, more that anyone else (it didn't even affect me being a shield and all) The theories hurt me, Rose thought Edward had a glitch in his brain, Emmett thought that it had something to do with the fact he was a virgin for over 100 years (I threw a rock at him at that one, much to Jaspers amusement) Alice thought Edward was more sensitive to pain in his human life, but Carlisle disagreed; he had watched him suffer through Spanish Influenza in silence. The other theories were worse.

Carlisle was testing the most plausible theory, but it hurt me to think about it. Could it be true? Well that's what their testing dumb-ass! Unfortunately one feature of my human life was retained in my change, the fact I still war with myself (and that my brain is still over thinks things way to much)

"Bella, honey would you please sit down," My father Charlie was watching the NBA Sunday Showcase, Oklahoma City vs. Miami Heat, yeah. I had decided to take a chance to see my father, Edward wanted to see his family again, so I figured I should take every chance to see mine while I still can, "I'm sure Edward's fine sweetie, he's a big boy you know." Charlie gruffed, he was still bitter about the hole Edward leaving fiasco... Charlie thought Edward was having a routine check for an illness (not the Spanish Flu)

"Yeah well, Dad he is my husband" I replied sharply.

"Husband" Charlie mumbled under his breath. "How's Nessie?"

"Not you as well! Why does everyone call her after the Lock Ness Monster?!"

"Sorry Bells, it's just easier than Renesmee... How old is she know?"

"15, Dad"

"ALREADY?!"

"Yeah Dad..." It hurt for me not to explain why his grand daughter had aged so quickly, but after Jake turned into a wolf in front of him he stopped the questions.

"Jake seems to like her a lot"

"Thanks Dad, no need to remind me that my best friend might possibly be in love with Renesmee"

"That's my job!" He turned around and smiled, I just rolled my eyes and resumed my pacing. "If you're so worried about Edward, why don't you call Alice or Rose." There's an idea! Finally something for me to do. I walked into the kitchen of my old house, it was exactly the same.

Alice picked up after the first ring, obviously seeing my call her, "He's out." Was all she said, not even a 'hi.'

"Where is he?"

"Your cottage" I hung up and went back to the living room.

"Well Dad it was lovely to see you, I will come with Renesmee soon but I have to run some errands" I said, giving him a hug.

"It was lovely to see you too Bells, love you." He said as I walked out of the door. I ran to Edward and I's cottage.

What I saw when I entered would scare me for the rest of forever.
