Carlisle
I came from work, my head was swimming with ideas, a dozen of questions had nagged me since I'd met the Swan girl. Why had she known who I was when she'd just woken up? How did she know all that stuff? Not only that but what intrigued me even more was how quickly she'd "came to her senses" and denied having said anything.
Had she been aware of her surroundings and what was around her when she was asleep? I recall talking on the phone with Esme about our children when I was in the room, but then, who was Reneesme? And why did she deny everything? My other theory was that she could be some kind of seer like Alice and was scared I would say she was crazy.
I parked near the house and got out of the car, entering my home quickly, eager to see my lovely wife, who was in the garden working with her plants. She smiled and stood up to great me, giving me a caring kiss on the lips.
"How was work?" she asked me.
"It was alright," I said, but then I added. "But the strangest thing happened to me today."
She looked up at me with interest. "It's been sometime since you've had unusual news about work. What happened? Did you see a miracle today?"
"Well, Isabella Swan woke up from her coma,"
"Oh, those are really great news! She was just seventeen, wasn´t she?" She said, a gorgeous smile stretching across her lips.
"Yes. Well, we were really happy that she had regained consciousness after only 2 weeks; the extremely surprising fact though was what she said when she woke up. She knew who I was, knew my name and accused me of having participated in a prank with Jasper and Emmett that was what had put her in the hospital. She even mentioned, Edward, Rose, Alice and You. She talked about someone named Reenesme as well." I stopped talking for a moment, seeing her reaction. Her eyebrows had arched upwards, and she was silent, still looking at me, wanting to hear more.
Suddenly Rosalie was right by my side, a weird expression on her face. "What did you say Carlisle?"
I repeated my words to my daughter, while entering our home and going to one of the sofa seats in the living room and sitting there. "I couldn't really ask her anything else because I had to get back to working on other patients. But the strangest thing was that when I came back to check on her again, she proclaimed not to know anything of the conversation we had had. I'm honestly intrigued."
A thoughtful silence ran through the room, Esme's soft voice broke it. "Could it be that Isabella is like our Alice? Maybe she had a vision about us and then when she saw you after opening her eyes she thought that somehow it was all real. But when you left the room everything caught up to her and she lied to you because you being a doctor would think she was crazy. So that's why she refused acknowledging any of what happened."
"Or maybe she forgets that she has the visions after some time," said Emmett coming down from the stairs. "We don't know her. But in this visions she seemed to know us, I mean from what you've been telling Rose she knows us, you said she mentioned that Jasper and I liked to play pranks, didn't you?" Emmett, turned to the television after that, his arm around Rosalie body. She rested her head on his arm.
"We need to find out, we have to make sure that we know if there is a chance this human girl is a risk for us." Rosalie said, her face protective and… something else I couldn´t decipher.
Alice burst through the door, her face bubbling with joy.
"There is going to be a big storm tonight!" Emmett jumped from his seat in the couch to give her a high five, smiling widely, Jasper entered calmly after her, checking his watch before starting to go up the stairs.
"You have twenty minutes to get ready!" She said. "I already told Edward, he'll meet us there"
I sighed, standing up and taking Esme's hand in mine as we went to our room, the mystery of Isabella Swan would have to wait a little longer to be resolved.

Rosalie
I brooded over what I'd learned in the last few hours while brushing my hair, I was in the past, Bella had been in a coma because of a car accident but was awake know, she seemed to know us. And if we kept in mind those facts then it all pointed to the slight but real possibility that I wasn't the only one that had gone back. Bella had too!
Thought I still hadn´t made sure that this conclusion was right, I knew in my gut that it was true. I had to see if it was tomorrow, and make sure as well that no one else in the family had gone back like I did. Esme was out of the list, as well as Emmett and Carlisle, I had known them for so many years that it was easy to know that they were indeed surprised by Bella. I still had to see what Jasper, Edward and Alice's reactions were.
I wanted to go check on Bella the next day, but how could I do it without risking Carlisle smelling my scent in her hospital room? Chance was Carlisle would want Edward to read her mind and confirm or deny his suspicions about her having a vision or whatever it was they thought that explain her actions.
I would make sure to go with them, especially if Edward reacted as I sensed he would, I mean, if he had trouble controlling himself in a room full of other scents and witnesses last time, then the same thing happening in a room that had had her scent concentrated in it for days and with only Carlisle to stop him who would end up covering him if something that serious happened the danger was dozens of times bigger.
I would be expecting it, so I could protect Bella if it came to that. Carlisle wouldn't be able to realize what was happening in time to save her life.
"Come on, I know you are worrying about that human, she isn't a real risk for us. Even if it's true she knows about us, who would believe her? She just woke up from coma." Emmett kissed my neck, his hands massaging my shoulders in a soothing motion.
"Yeah, I know, don't mind me,"
"There's something else, isn't it? What's wrong?" His eyes looked into mine, honest and caring, looking to give me whatever I needed. I pulled my arm around his waist and hugged him.
"I'll tell you later, you know how hard it is for me to keep secrets from you. Trust me, we don't have to deal with it right now, I'm just overthinking things as I always do, but it's not bad news. Everything is going to be alright," and I really believed it, I would make sure we were, my present and my future family. "Now, let's go kick their asses, shall we?"
He let out a guffaw, his eyes twinkling as he swept me up and run down the stairs. "That's my Rose! Let's go get 'em!"
"Emm, wait, I have to put a t-shirt on, you distracted me while I was about to do it." I slapped his arm playfully as he set me on the couch.
"Oops, I really didn't notice that," He grinned mischievously. "I'll wait for you down here, but I really wouldn't complain if you didn't get that shirt on at all."
Alice came downstairs as I laughed with him, she had my t-shirt in her hand and she handed it to me. Esme and Carlisle came from the kitchen, holding hands.
I looked at Alice, taking her hand in mine and dragging her back to the kitchen for a moment. I looked deep into her eyes, Alice was even better at lying than I was, but if I showed her somehow that I knew then she would have no reason to hide that she was in the same situation as me.
"Alice, does the name Reneesme mean anything to you?"
Her expression grew puzzled, she'd seen the question coming but she still didn't understand it.
"No, should it?" My shoulders relaxed, I wasn't exactly happy because Alice would have been of great help, but at least we got that cleared up. Alright, one down, two more to go. Although I doubted that Alice wouldn't know if Jasper did. I turned around, ready to leave the kitchen.
"Rose?" she asked, making me stop in front of the door.
"What Alice?"
"You know we can help you with whatever it's happening, right? I know you are keeping a secret but I won't bother you since you actually seemed happier than I've seen you in a long time." And with those words, she crossed ahead of me.
I let out a tired but satisfied sight, and I went after her.

Carlisle
After finishing the game, we all went to clean up, Emmett was covered in mud and had made it his goal to hug every one so we were all a mess. Rosalie was scolding him but we could all see the hidden smile in her features. Something was different with my daughter, I couldn't exactly point what but she seemed… warmer, happier.
I directed my gaze to Edward, he was speaking with Alice and Jasper, a small smile in his face.
Rosalie's eyes went to them and Emmett and her slowed down to run alongside them.
When we got home, Emmett proposed we could a game of cards after changing our clothes.
Then we played, and I decided that I could bring the Isabella topic. Since everyone was there and we were all quiet, it was the perfect time. I cleared my throat to catch the attentions of all of them, even Alice and Edward that were playing their own game on the other corner of the table.
I told them what I'd learned and Emmett and Esme gave their opinions just like they had before. Between all of us we decided that we could only know what she did if we talked with her.
"I'll go, talking may not be enough. If she decides to lie, we will get nothing out of her." Edward said with his jaw set.
"And I'll go with you to make sure you are not far too rude with her," Rosalie said. For some reason, Alice hid a smile at that, probably because Rosalie wasn't the exemplary of affability either.
"Umm, Rosalie, you don't like humans very much, I think you will scare her more than Edward."
"Don't worry, I'll be in my best behavior. I just want to make sure this is done well. We don't need this human girl endangering our family, why can't I just go find out if she knows anything? I'll be more relieved if I'd make sure myself." Emmett put an arm around her comfortingly, but he sent her a questioning look, and they shared a glance for a minute.
I decided to just let her be, I was going to be there to assure nothing went wrong anyway.
"Okay, Rosalie is coming with us. In case anyone asks we'll say that you both heard about her from me and decided to welcome her to town and get to know her. We will be leaving for the hospital at 9:30, you should take Edward's car so you can leave in it after we take care of this."
