Takes place after Bella, Alice, and Edward leave Volturra. What if reality came crashing back and ruined the perfect little reunion between Bella and Edward. What if Charlie met Bella at the airport in Seatac? Sort of based on a deleted scene i read on Stephenie Meyer's website.

Chapter 1-Coming Home
"Bella" Edward said drawing my attention away from the tarmac. We had been sitting in an Atlanta Airport for the last three hours waiting for the storm to pass. "you can't ignore me forever."
want to bet? I thought to myself. It hurt to look at him, still so perfect looking as if the last six months had never happened. To know that I wanted him and he still didn't wanted me. The first few hours after we left Volterra had been heaven to me, being able to touch him and have him act like he cared about me. It was so easy to forget everything in Volturra, to hold off reality and replace it with the idea that we would be together again.
But reality kicked in the minute our plane touched down in Atlanta. So now I tried to stay as far away from him as possible, as far as they would let me. So that when he left me again, and i knew he would, it maybe wouldnt hurt as badly as before. Fat chance of that.
"I am not ignoring you, Edward." I said quietly, sure that if he didn't have his acute hearing he would not have heard me. "I have a headache" lame excuse.
Turning my head to the left, i saw Alice shoot Edward a warning glance "How about we get you some food, Bella?" She said holding her hand out to me.
"Sure, Alice" i said "i should probably call Charlie too. "
Edward stayed in the seating area with my bags as Alice gently led me to the closest restaurant. I could feel him watching us as we walked away.
"Everything is going to work out Bella," she said happily dancing along beside me, "you and Edward and meant to be together. Just give him a chance to explain everything."
"He doesn't have anything to explain."
"Be-"
"Just stop Alice, this is between me and him. And i need to figure everything out for myself. I know you love him, he's your brother, and i don't want to ruin our friendship by saying something that i cant take back. Besides i know he is listening to me through your thoughts, and that isn't fair."
"He's not," she said throwing a warning look over her shoulder, "I am just really worried aobut you and I want you to know that you can talk to me."
I smiled weakly at her, wrapping my arms around myself. "of course i know that," I said trying to smile at her. I am pretty sure judging by the look on her face that it was a sad excuse for a smile. "dont worry about me Alice, i will be fine."
"There is a phone over there, didnt you want to call your dad?" she said changing the subject once she determined that i would just keep repeating the same thing until she dropped the subject.
