Chapter 1.

The soft breeze blew my hair around my head, as I drove the the road. It was an unusually warm and sunny day in the quiet little town of Forks. It had been four years since I last stepped foot in this place. After Edward had left and Jacob had started to ignore me, I had decided that a change of scenery was needed, So I had moved in with my aunt and uncle in England. I had really enjoyed the time that I spent there, and I had made some really good friends, but it wasn't home. I had missed Forks terribly, and I had missed my father and my friends here.

Last year I had received a letter from Alice. In it she explained that although Edward lied to me that day in the forest, and that he did love me, I was not his actual real mate. A mate and a singer could never be the same person to a vampire, because you normally drain a singer dry, but you would never be able to harm your mate. He loved me, I was his first love, as he was mine, but we had both gotten over that, and Edward was now in a happy relationship with his mate - Megan. Megan seemed like a lovely girl, we had chatted a few times over the phone. Once I wrote back to Alice, writing that I was happy for Edward, he had wrote to me once a month, keeping me up to date with everything. It felt good to simply be his friend. I had realised that life was precious and I would rather live one normal human life than have immortality and live forever. I wanted to be a mother, I wanted to know what it felt like to feel myself grow round with my child, to feel my child moving within me. I was now glad that Edward had always refused to change me.

I rolled to a stop, pulling up outside a small little house, hoping that I had followed the directions - that Charlie had sent - right, I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. I was in La push, apparently, Sue Clearwater - Leah and Seth's mother - and my father had been getting quite cosy lately, and according to Seth, he spent all of his time down at their house, on the res. Just great! Note the sarcasm. The door swung open before I had even raised my hand to knock.

"Bella" Seth yelled. He pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Put me down, you big oath" I said, giggling. He spun me around before placing me back on my feet. "Really. What have they been feeding you around here." I joked. of course, because of the Cullens, I knew now that the guys were all shifters, but seeing the difference in the size of them... It was amazing. The guys just laughed, shifting uncomfortably, not knowing that I knew their secret already.

"Look at you" he drawled, stepping back and eyeing me up and down. "Damn, you are looking hot girl" I shook my head, laughing. He'll never change.

"Me?" I asked, shocked. "Have you seen the size of you? Didn't your parents teach you that steroids wee bad for you, Jesus Seth, what have you been eating?" I laughed. "Is my dad here?" I asked.

"Sure, Sorry. Come on in." He opened the door wide and I followed him inside. My dad, Sue, Leah, Jacob and a girl I had never met before sat around. I stood there, watching them interact with each other. I was shocked at seeing Jacob here, but I was even more shocked when I saw him gently kiss Leah on the lips. Since when were they an Item, and why hadn't nobody bothered to tell me. I cleared my throat, causing several people to turn my way.

"Bells" My dad whispered. "Is that you honey?" He stood up, and came over to me, hugging me to him.

"Yeah, It's me" I said back, just as quietly. "I missed you dad."

"Missed you too kiddo" he said, squeezing me just a little more tightly, before letting go and taking a step back.

"Bells" I heard Jacob murmer, and when I looked at him, he looked pained. He took a slow, step forward, like he thought I would disappear if he moved to quickly.

A moment later I was engulfed in his broad arms. "I missed you so much Bella. I'm so sorry about what I said to you before you left. You're my best friend Bells" His voice was thick with emotion as he held me against him.

"Your my best friend too Jake" I told him as he held me tighter. "I missed you" I really had missed everyone. It was good to be home. I stepped away from him and looked towards my dad. "Is there anywhere I can freshen up?" I asked.

"Of course. Leah show Isabella to her bedroom" Sue said. Lea smiled at me before standing up an walking towards me.

"Bedroom" I said, shocked. I hadn't expected for them to make room for me here, and I was touched that they had thought about me. "Of course Bells" Seth exclaimed, "Your part of the family."

"We built an extention" my dad said, "But I also kept the old property for you, in case you came back. "It's yours kiddo, if you want it." I nodded eagerly. "I want it, but if it's ok, for now I'd really like to stay here while I get reacquainted with all of you." I said, shyly.

"Of course Isabella. Our house is your house too" Sue said, kindly. I sad thankyou to them and then followed Leah out of the room. My bedroom was gorgeous, and to top it of, I had my own en-suite bathroom. "Wow" I whispered in awe.

Leah chuckled. "I take it that you like it?"

"of course, it's beautiful. Thankyou" I said, as I set my bags down on the floor. Leah sat on my bed.

"Thankyou" She said after a moment. I looked towards her in shock, wondering what the hell she could be thanking me for. "For making Jacob smile again" she clarified. "He hasn't really been himself since you left. He really did miss you. He felt wrenched about ignoring you, then sending you away" Yeah, I didn't understand that, well I hadn't until Edward explained how volatile a new wolf could be, then told me that Jacob had probably just been concerned about my safety.

"It's good to know" I told her. "I missed him aswell" Seth interrupted the rest of what I was about to say. "Here's the rest of your stuff Bells" he huffed and dropped my case on the floor. "Well, we'll leave you to freshen up" Leah said. She moved towards the door. "Oh, before I forget, there's a bonfire down on the beach tonight. I hope you can make it." She said. I smiled at her.

"I'll b there" I said, before she walked out, closing the door behind her.

After I had pulled out the clothes that I would wear tonight, I decided to take a quick nap, or I would be too tired later on. I wondered if my bed was as comfy as it looked. Yes, it was, I layed down and was asleep in no time.
