Prologue

"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up, Mommy!" Isabella Swan was rudely woken by the tiny little person jumping on her bed. Bella moans against her pillow, wondering how her daughter is able to get up before the alarm rings, but figures it is beyond her mental capacity to understand. She opens one eye, looks at the alarm clock on the nightstand and moans one more time.

"Lilly, I had five more minutes!"

"Let's go, Mommy! Let's go!" the excited little girl exclaims, pulling on one of Bella's arms, trying to drag her out of bed. It's at times like this that Bella realizes her daughter spends too much time with Alice Brandon.

"Okay! I'm coming! Just calm down!" Bella says drowsily, rubbing her eyes. "Why have you been so excited to go to school lately?"

Lilly flashes a bright smile at her mom. "Today, Anthony's Dad is going to drive me to school with them. Don't you remember?"

Bella smirks at her daughter. "Oh, so all that excitement is about Anthony?" She squeezes Lilly's cheeks lightly. "That's so cute! My little girl has got a boyfriend already!"

Lilly jumps out of her mother's bed and stomps her feet. "I do not have a boyfriend!" she grumbles, crossing her arms over her chest.

Bella laughs and gets up. "Okay, let's get ready." She takes Lilly's little hand in hers and the two of them make their way into the bathroom. "I mean, boyfriends don't like to wait too much, that's something you need to know."

"Mom!" Lilly whines, followed by Bella's laugh. She hasn't met Anthony or his father yet. The elementary school is in the opposite direction from Bella's job's path, so her friend Alice is the one who drives Lilly to school. However, today Alice would be out with her fiancé, Jasper, so Anthony's father offered to give Lilly a ride.

Of course, as a mother, Bella was worried about letting her daughter go alone in a car with some guy she had never met before, but Alice had calmed her down, saying that he was a friend of hers and that he was a very reliable and responsible man.

What Bella doesn't know, though, is that Alice is at home right now, wearing pajamas and that Jasper isn't even in the town.

When the doorbell rings, Lilly doesn't run to answer the door like she normally does. Walking past her, Bella raises one eyebrow, but doesn't say a thing. She opens the door with a beautiful smile on her face, but it immediately disappears. Her eyes widen as she comes to realize who the man looking at her is.

"Edward?"

Edward is surprised too. "Bella? Isabella Swan? What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here? This is my house!"

She seems upset, Edward thinks, knowing he must go away. He's probably at the wrong house and if he doesn't rush, his son will be late for school, but he can't stop looking at her.

Bella is simply amazing.

She's even more beautiful than she was as a teenager. He wishes he could touch her hair and caress her skin. He wishes he could do many other things, but when he sees some tears shining in her eyes, he remembers their past and instantly feels bad. He tries to think of something to say, but before he's able to do anything, Lilly appears at Bella's side.

"Hello, Mr. Cullen."

He looks down at the little girl and although he's very swayed by Bella's presence, he smiles at his son's friend. "Hello sweetie. How are you today?"

"I'm fine, thank you." She smiles back at him. Oh. Now he understands why he always thought she reminded him of someone — mostly when she was smiling. Of course! How could he not see that before? Lilly is just like her mother. "Mr. Cullen, I'll talk to Anthony in the car. Would you mind taking my backpack, please? It is in the living room, thanks!" the little girl runs to the car without waiting for a response.

Bella narrows her eyes at Lilly's back, even though she looked pretty innocent. How could she know about anything of Bella's past, anyway?

Edward runs his fingers through his hair. "Shall I…?" he motions towards the interior of Bella's house.

She hesitates but finally says, "um… sure… come on in."

Inside the car, Lilly and Anthony are celebrating in victory.

"That was a great idea!" Anthony says, looking at the now closed door of his friend's house. "You are a genius!"

"I know!" They both laugh. "What do you think they are talking about?"

Anthony shrugs. "I don't know. Do you think they remember each other?"

"Oh, they certainly do! You should see your Dad's face!" Lilly laughs.

He looks at her. "Your mother is so pretty. She seems very nice."

"She is." Lilly smiles at him.

Anthony looks at her house again. "I wish I had a mother like yours," he sighs, remembering all of the wonderful stories Lilly tell's him about Bella.

She shifts and slips her arm around his shoulders. "I can share her with you," she says, "as long as you share your Dad with me."

He looks at her and flashes a bright smile. Everything is scheduled — their parents meet again; they fall in love again and the four of them become a family. That's the plan.

It was implied at the beginning that they would eventually share their parents (that's why the plan emerged, first of all), but they had never actually used the word "share" before. And that's really, really good to hear, Anthony thinks. I'm going to have a mother!

"Deal!" he says. They both shake hands and smile as Edward comes to the car while Bella watches him from the front door.
