Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight series, books, or characters.

A/N: Thank you for everyone who stayed with me. As promised I am updating my stories but Peter will not be as often because he is going somewhere. I don't even know but he told me that there should be limited internet. I will not be updating as often as I would like but I will still be updating. The Holiday season also means that I will be updating more.

I will try not to hold back when updating but I want Peter to read everything before I post.

Although I am still debating whether to add any of Edward and Bella in the story. I might just end the story before they meet and then write a sequel. Let me know your thoughts in PMs or Reviews. Remember if you want to see any Edward and Bella together scenes then PM me or Review. My boyfriend will inform me of your choices if I am unavailable to check myself.

POV: Edward

I went straight to Carlisle's office. The hospital as usual smelled strongly of death and sickness. It changed through out the years though. It became more into technology than when I was in a hospital last. Then again last time I was in a hospital it was about two decades ago. Technology has changed increasingly within the last decade alone.

"Who are you?" A nurse came up to me and I tried to avoid hearing her thoughts. OMG he is so cute! She squealed in her mind and I winced. Sometimes I wonder how the human mind works because it is highly disturbing most of the time. I still hadn't responded and the nurse took it upon herself to guess. "Your Emmett right? I can guess because of the muscles." She giggled and my look darkened. There was nothing that I hated more, other than men flirting with Bella, than those women who think that they have a chance with me.

"No" I responded through annoyed and I walked past her into the office of my adoptive father. I was waiting for only a couple minutes before Carlisle walked into the room and settled down.

"Edward, what can I do for you?" Although I knew that he knew what was coming, it was only a matter of time anyways.

"Carlisle, I need to get something off of my chest and it is highly important." I breathe "Do you have an hour or two?"

"Yes, my shift just ended. Don't you remember that I work the night shift and occasionally the afternoon?" He seemed to be joking but today I was not in the mood surprisingly.

"I remember I just wanted to make sure before I take up your time." My voice was dead serious and Carlisle caught one quickly.

"What is it that you need to tell me?" He removed the scrubs that he was wearing and sat down once again in his chair.

"I have a wife" To say he was shocked was an understatement.

"When did you get married and why didn't we know?" He sputtered out, not believing that I have, or should I say had, someone.

"Wait!" I nearly yelled to speak over him "You are taking it in the wrong manner." He quieted down and listened intently again. "I got married when I was human." I explained "We were a happy couple and the reason you didn't know about her was because she was visiting relatives at the time of my illness."

"You had a wife? Why did you not tell me?" He whispered

"I didn't want to because it was personal and I was still getting over the fact of being a vampire." I put my head in my hands "I was scared that if I told you then you would forbid me to see her and then my hopes, of seeing her, would be crushed."

"So this is the reason why you never showed interest to anyone else? Because you are already married?" He leaned back in his seat still taking the information all in.

"Yes, I will never love anyone else like I love her. Don't you see? It has been killing me for the past decades. That fact that she was left alone and she was pregnant with my child at the time as well." I was letting everything off of my chest now. "She was pregnant and I left her alone to raise and support the child by herself. I bet that if she was still alive by some miracle then she would hate me forever."

"Son" Carlisle tried to interrupt me but I kept going

"She was the most beautiful and trusting person to ever walk the earth as well and I just left her like she meant nothing to me. What do you think she thought when she came back and found me nowhere to be found? Then what about when she found my grave?" I nearly pulled out all of my hair in my fury. "She would have been heart broken." I choked

"Son!" Carlisle raised his voice before I could continue to beat myself up about this. "I barely know her but I believe that she is a strong woman, to survive your temper." I nearly smiled, nearly.

"I wish you could have met her. No doubt you would have been very surprised on what you found when you did." I felt the smile creeping up my face at her image but I shoved it away, I deserved to be miserable for what I did to her. "She was the most beautiful person to ever walk the earth." I needed to keep saying this so that he would understand. "She was also the most kind and caring person you would ever meet. It didn't matter to her if you were a murderer or if you stole, she would do anything thing she could to help you."

I found myself being brought into a flashback, to the time when she had aided a helpless woman from being beat by a gang of men. This was also the first that that we had met.

*Flashback*

"Please someone!" The woman screamed out. It was obvious that she was scared and helpless. I was frozen though, I did not know what to do. I started to move forward but a figure whirled past me and headed towards the men crowding around their victim.

"Get your hands off of her!" I did not see the person's face but it was obviously a woman who had rushed to the other's aid.

"Oh yeah little girl? What are you going to do about that? Someone as small as you can't stop someone as big and strong as me." The man boasted and I nearly punched him but was beaten to it by the woman. She smacked him so hard, where a man never should be hit, that he stumbled back and landed on the ground unconscious.

"Who are you?" The other men in the gang started to run away from her when she only looked at them. I walked forward asking the question, although warily. I did not have any interest in taking a blow to my private parts.

"No one of interest to you, Sir." She refused to meet my eyes. Why did she not look at me?

"Who are you?" I repeated this time more forcefully. She bent down to be half-beaten woman and offered her hand.

"I am sorry that you needed to go through that." She spoke so softly. I knew I had never met this woman but I immediately felt as if I had heard her voice my entire life. "I hope I was not to late." The woman took her hand and got up.

"I thank you for helping me. Many people would walk past and not give me a second glance." The beat up woman left after straightening her dress.

"Your welcome. My name is Bella by the way." She turned to me and I gasped. She was the most beautiful thing ever, and do I mean ever. Her silky hair that fell past her waist and her beautiful brown and green eyes, that seemed to look into my very soul.

"My name is Edward" I stuttered not able to be rude to such a lady but not exactly concentrating at the moment. I could not when she was there tempting me. Her entire body seemed to scream to me. I blushed, I had been raise to be a gentleman and here I was, thinking impure thoughts of a woman that I hardly knew.

"Nice to met you Edward." I tried to remember if I had seen her before. Surely I could not have. I would have remembered if I saw someone as beautiful as her, at least I like to think I would remember.

"Nice to meet you to" IT came out sounding like a question

"Is there something wrong?" She looked around alarmed

"No, nothing is wrong. Please excuse my behaviour. May I walk such a beautiful lady to her home?" I leaned down and grabbed her hand and kissed it softly causing her to blush deeply. My eyes must have been begging her because it took her a while before replying.

"Of course kind Sir." She was still very red from blushing.

"Where do you live?" I asked, perhaps I could see her more often if I knew where she lived.

"I am new here" She seemed confused

"I see, do you know what your house looks like?" I tried to remember if any of the houses near mine had been on sale. I only came up with one but I didn't think she lived there.

"Yes, it is a big huge mansion and my father's name is Charlie Swan." My heart sank to the floor. She was rich, and my family was in middle class. I hoped our class difference would not put a wedge between us but society would always look down upon her if she married me. Why did she have to be in a higher class than me? No, more importantly why couldn't I be in a higher class?

"I know that place, if I may" I linked my arm with hers not caring what other people must have thought, for right now the most important thing in my world was her.

*End of Flashback*

"Edward" Carlisle's voice sounded worried "Edward" He waved his hand in front of my face and I blinked and came back into reality.

"I'm sorry, I was just reliving one of my memories with her." I said, dazed.

"You really miss her that much?" I could hear the pain in his voice, I nodded.

"Well then, you are at least going to see her grave." He said confidently. "You did say that you don't know what happened?" I nodded once more not sure where this was going. "Well, there is a small chance that she is a vampire now and then you could have a happy life with her." He sounded jolly but I wasn't so sure.

"Carlisle, the chances of that happening are so slight, please don't get my hopes up." He put on a serious face but I knew better, inside he was rejoicing. It was probably the one time he wished for a person to be a vampire.

"I won't but wait here. I need to straighten everything out with the hospital before I drag the family to visit Chicago." He left and I could vaguely hear him conversing with the school secretary and then his staff at work. "Edward, get ready to leave now. We are going to Chicago as soon as we can." I got up and climbed into the Volvo. I drove home not really seeing anything because my mind was to busy thinking of her.
