Hello again! Here is the follow up book to "Barely Hanging On." I would suggest that if you haven't read that one, you do, or else this won't make a lot of sense. I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Nessies POV

I come downstairs in the morning to the very concerned faces of mom, dad and Grandpa.

"What?" I ask slowly.

"Sit down." Grandpa says.

I go sit in the chair, waiting for them to explain what this is about. Why are they looking at me like that? Whats the matter?

"What?" I ask again, a little more sharply.

"Renesmee," Grandpa starts. "Did you notice the bruises on your back?"

"Um, no?"

"And you were sick just the other day. With the flu."

"Yeah?"

"And your always complaining about growing pains even though your done growing."

"Could you just get to the point? I want breakfast."

"Edward came into your room and noticed that something was off about the smell also. Sound familiar?"

I look down at my hands, realization of what he's getting at hitting me hard. "Yes."

"I think we need to get your blood tested again."

"I'm not sick." I mutter.

"You might not be. But its better to know."

"I'm not sick!" I snap before running back to the room I now share with Jacob. I slam the bathroom door shut and hear Jacob startle at the loud noise, jumping out of bed. I pull down my shirt and turn to the mirror.

Dark blue bruises run along my spine.

Jacobs POV

I'm pulled out of sleep by the slam of the bathroom door. I sit straight up and take a few deep breaths to calm my self. That was abrupt. What was that about?

I go to the bathroom door and knock gently. "Ness, what's wrong?" I ask.

She doesn't answer, so I turn the knob to find that its unlocked.

Nessie stands beside the full body mirror with her back turned to it, shirt on the floor. I rush to her side, gripping the top of her arms. "Nessie, are you okay?"

She shakes her head in answer. I look over the front her body, searching for some sign that she's hurt. Then in the mirror I see dark spots on her back, exactly like the ones on her arms and legs years ago. Now I know what she's freaking out about.

I thought she was safe. I thought everything would be okay, I mean, its been four years! Yet, its happening again.

I reach down and grab her shirt, helping her pull it over her head. I take her hand and lead her downstairs, to find that Carlisle, Edward and Bella are sitting in the living room.

"I'm sorry Grandpa." She whispers, then rushes into his arms. Did I miss something while I was asleep?

He pats her back soothingly. "I know sweetheart, your scared. We are to. Are you okay to go now?"

"Yes."

Its very strong deja vu, a tense car ride to the hospital, keeping a tight grip on Nessies hand, rushing through a blood draw. Before I know it, were standing in Carlisle's office again, while he examines the samples him self.

Nessie is in tears and shaking in my arms. I pull her over to the chair just in case she passes out again. A few minutes later the door opens, Carlisle comes in, and from the look on his face we all know the diagnosis. Renesmees cancer is back.
