Bella's pov-

"Aubrey?" I called. I was avoiding this conversation as long as possible, but I decided now was the time to do it. Of course I wasn't going to try to find Edward without Aubrey's permission. I know, getting permission from a two year old. But, I have to do it.

"Yeah, mama?" She asked, waddling into her room. Hey vibrant green eyes reminded me of him. Just thinking of him made me need him even more, if that was possible. She also had my brown hair, but she was oddly graceful for a toddler. She rarely ever fell, and I knew where she got that from, and it had nothing to do with me.

"Baby, do you remember when I told you Daddy had gone away for a while?" I asked, hoping she would remember the conversation we had around a month ago. Her little brow creased for a moment, then she finally nodded. "Well, he might be coming back. Is that okay?"

She just sat there, and after five minutes I was about to call an ambulance. I thought she had gone into shock. Then, slowly a wide, ear-to-ear grin spread across her face. She looked as if she was about to explode with happiness.

"Yay! Finally! Daddy's comin home!" She yelled, as she ran around. Oh lord. What if I couldn't find Edward? I couldn't let her down. But the truth is, if I couldn't find him...I'd be letting myself down, too. I grabbed the phonebook, and started looking.

I ran my finger down the list of 'C' last names. I finally found what I was looking for. Edward Anthony Cullen. I didn't know if I could do this now. I mean, was I really ready for Edward to come back into my life? But, it wasn't up to me anymore. My duty in life wasn't just about taking care of myself anymore. No, it was about Aubrey. And I had a funny feeling that this call would most definitely change our lives for the better. I dialed.

Ring...Ring...Ring...

"Hello?" He answered. His voice sounded like a melody. And right now, it was my favorite song.

"Uhm...Hi, Ed-Edward. It's me...Bella." I said, stumbling carefully through my words. What was I supposed to say? He could contribute to the conversation, too!
"Bella? As in Bella Swan?" He asked, amazment clear in his voice.

"Uhm, Yeah. Could we meet somewhere, I REALLY need to talk to you." I said, trying to sound casual. "I need to explain."

"Sure, how about at the mall, at 7, tomorrow." He suggested.

"Sure, see you then." I said. "Oh, and Edward?"

"Yes?"

"I'm really, really sorry." I replied. I hung up the phone, and sat it on the table. I couldn't help but feel that this was the beginning of something great.

Edward's POV-

My phone rang, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. I decided to answer, it might be important.

"Hello? I asked, waiting for a reply. Who was this?

"Uhm...Hi, Ed-Edward. It's me...Bella." The unknown caller answered, stuttering nervously. Bella Swan? Okay, if that was her, this was fate.

"Bella? As in Bella Swan?" I asked, getting my hopes up. I mean, what other Bella's do I know. Or did know, atleast...

"Uhm, Yeah. Could we meet somewhere, I REALLY need to talk to you. I need to explain." She replied. My heart, that was ripped out, felt as if it was putting itself back together.

"Sure, how about at the mall, at 7, tomorrow." Trying to sound as if it was unimportant. But, right now, getting Bella back was the msot important thing in my life right now. I needed her back into my life. Now.

"Sure, see you then...Oh, and Edward?" She said.

"Yes?"

"I'm really, really sorry." She said, and heard the click. I pulled the phone away from my face. I starting racking my brain, trying to figure out why she left. Oh well, She was explaining tomorrow. I had wanted to find Bella. She just beat me to it.
