Don't own Twilight.
CPOV
We have been in Forks for over a year and we still have no solid leads as to where Bella was.
Jasper's guy Jenks has tried everything on his end but has hit nothing but a deadend.
Alice even left to relax alone to see if maybe she would finally be able to see where she was. Sadly, it also turned out to be fruitless.
Edward is getting more and more depressed. I can't even imagine what he is going through. He made the decision to walk away from the woman he loves. His mate. To choose her happiness over your own is a tough decision. When he came to me and said he couldn't go on without here I knew we had to help him. I refused to lose my son.
Then there is my beautiful Esme. She has been trying to be upbeat and positive about finding Bella. She even made sure there has been food stocked and a room done for her just in case. To Esme and myself Bella was truely our daughter in every sense of the word.
Emmett to most was a big oaf but in reality he was the most sensitive of all my children. Bella was a little sister to him. She easily took on the role that was left empty after he entered his new life.
The only one who could care less if Bella was dead or alive was Rosalie. I don't agree with her feelings but I can begrudge her having them. Her only wish was for Bella to stay human and have a normal human existence. She wanted her to have the experiences that she was denied. Marriage to a man she could grow old with. The chance to have children and see her children grow and thrive. We all knew she loved Emmett with everything she was but we also knew she would give it all up in a heartbeat for the chance of those things.
Sadly, we weren't going to be able to call Forks home for much longer we had simply stayed to long. People were starting to question our looks. You could only give credit to plastic surgery and skin products for so long until it becomes unbelievable.
So as a family we decided to send Jasper on ahead to open up the house in Canada and make sure it was still in liveable condition.

I was so fucking happy to be getting out of that house. Fuck living with Edward's emo fucking personality was one thing but fuck me if the rest weren't just as bad.
Finally free of all the drama that has become Casa De Cullen I decided to veer off and hunt around Mt. Baker. There were some small towns around the base of it but I didn't expect any problems.
After taking down a few deer a strange but familiar smell hits me. I'm not able to place it so I follow it to see where it is coming from. About a mile from the nearest trail seemed to be a campsite. There was nobody there so I figured it couldn't hurt to take a look around. No harm no foul right?
I was just getting ready to look in the tent when I heard a tree limb crack behind me. I snapped around to see a guy that could have easily been Emmett's twin by sheer size alone holding a shot gun.
"Can I help you?" He asked watching me.
Yeah, this was a great idea Jasper.
"I was just out hiking and happened upon your tent." I say pushing trust his way.
"Sit you hungry? My wife sent fried chicken." Ugh I was going to have to eat that shit.
"Thank you kindly." I sat down at a small picnic table and watched him open the cooler and take out two beers and the chicken.
Oh fucking great kill me now. I wonder if I could just drain him instead of eating that vile smelling shit he sat on the table.
He sat down across from me.
"So you out here by yourself?" I ask hopeing to distract him but no such luck when he passes me the food.
"Yeah, usually my wife comes with me but she wasn't feeling well so opted to stay home." I nod
"I hope it's nothing to serious."
He shook his head and smiled.
"Nah, she's just pregnant with pur first little one."
"Congratulations." I tell him honestly he seems like a nice guy.
"Thanks she's so damn tiny she looks full term instead of four months." He chuckled with me joining him.
Just as he was about to say something what I'm guessing was a satellite phone rang from inside the tent.
"Gotta get that be just a minute." He said standing and already walking to retrieve the device.
I look down at the chicken leg and threw it as far as my arm would allow. Thank god for that phone. Being the intrusive vampire I am I tuned into hus conversation.
"Hey babygirl you ok?"
"Yeah just checking on you." Right then my world froze I knew that voice. It was the voice of the person who we all believed to be dead.
"Aww you know I'm good. How's my princess doing?" I heard her giggle
"Baby we don't know what were having yet." He chuckled
"Father's guy instinct. I got a deer to help fill the freezer up."
"That's good because the weather forecaster is saying a very early bad winter."
"We will be ready. Now go rest I'll be home tonight." He tells her.
"Okay baby I'll see you then love ya."
"Love you too baby girl." Then I hear a click and grab the beer to pretend drinking it.
"Sorry bout that."
"No problem man everything alright?" I ask
"Yeah, just the wife checking on me." I nod
"So mister you from around here?" I'm afraid to say Forks incase she mentioned it.
"Outside of Seattle." Close enough. I don't wanna give anything away till I talk to the rest of the family.
"We live not far from here at the base of the mountain." I nod
"Well thanks for your hospitality but I best getting on back or the rest of my party will send out search parties." I tell him.
"No problem man." I take off back down the trail and as soon as I know I'm far enough away from him I call Carlisle.
"Jasper?" He answers after one ring.
"I'm on my way back to Forks we need to talk tell the family." With that I hang up and run.
A/N: I'm sorry for such a delay. It has been an emotional few months. We laid my wonderful father-in-law to rest. My husband is doing well so is my daughter. I want to thank everyone for all their thoughts and prayers you guys rock.
Some have asked about my kids. I do have all girls.
London is our oldest at 7. Aribella is 5. Sophia and Sophie are 2 1/2. Maria is 1 1/2. Charlotte is around six months old. Yes we have 6.
I have been with my husband since we were sixteen years old. We always talked about having a huge family and we are blessed to have one and the financial means to have one.
Sorry, just thought it he easier to do it here then answering individually. :)
