"Bella Swan."

As Bella stumbled across the graduation stage, she turned to look at the faces of the people who shouted her name. Suddenly she was elated as among the well wishers were not only her father, and the love of her life; but her mirror image, her other half, her identical twin, Grace. Whom she hadn't seen but once in the 2 years since she'd moved to Forks.

Grace was everything Bella wished she could be. A world- renowned ballet dancer, Her name could not be more appropriate. Bella tripped over her own feet. Make no mistake however that Grace was some sort of stuck up, stick figure prude. Curvy, every dance teacher she ever had told her she had the wrong body for ballet. She never listened and by combining classic ballet techniques with step dance, and modern hip-hop, she'd become an innovator. Confident to the point of cocky, Grace needed no one but herself, except maybe her sister, though she'd die before she admitted it.

Bella was so relieved to see her. She hadn't even told Edward about Gracie. Her twin sister just, was. They weren't involved at all in each other's lives and yet their need for each other was stronger even maybe then her need for Edward. She'd known she needed to say goodbye before...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grace had originally planned not to attend her sister's graduation. She hadn't seen Bella since she'd landed in the hospital a year after her move to Forks. They didn't even talk that frequently, but they didn't need to. Every time they reunited, it was like they'd never been apart. Gracie didn't consider Forks home, actually she didn't consider anywhere home. Even after both her parents called her and said they thought she could take a break from her life to watch her sister walk the stage, she simply brushed off the guilt and said she was too busy, knowing Bella wouldn't care about pomp and circumstance.

Then the dreams started. They were silly really, not overly dramatic. Grace would be onstage dancing, and the only member of the audience was Bella. Bella who hadn't seen Grace perform in over five years. Suddenly the music would stop, and Bella was gone. That was it, but every time Grace would wake up in a cold sweat, something was certain this was some sort of premonition, that she would soon lose her other half.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She knew. Edward didn't know how, but Grace definitely knew. First of all how the girl who was willing to give up her mortality, her whole world for him, could neglect to mention an identical twin was mind boggling enough. But the realization that that twin not only didn't trust him but was openly suspicious was enough to make him hyperventilate. If you know, it was necessary for him to breath.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After a quick round of "congratulations" and the excitement of their reunion Bella told Grace she'd meet her at Charlie's, Edward would of course drive her home. Once in the car the silence was practically unbearable. Finally Edward let out an exasperated sigh.

"Did you fail to mention something, my love?"

"Um...I have an identical twin?"

"Yes, that was the something to which I referred."

"Edward, I'm sorry it wasn't that I intentionally kept it from you. It just never came up and then I was going to tell you in the hospital in Phoenix, but then I didn't want to give you another reason not to change me. And now you've promised, so no going back on your word!"

"Bella, an identical sister! She's your carbon copy!"

"Yeah maybe according to out DNA. But Grace is more beautiful, charming, poised, not to mention talented. Oh and like her name says graceful. You wouldn't have to protect her every minute of everyday."

"Are you jealous?"

"Of course! Now that you've met her, why would you want the boring twin?"

At this comment Edward immediately pulled over the car and pulled Bella into his lap.

"You are the twin I want, and you are not boring. You know why?"

"Why?"

"Because not only can I hear your sister's thoughts but, she loathes me already."
