"You know each other?" Lucy asked me, looking between myself and Carlisle.
"Of course, Bella's my-"
"Friend. Yeah, we're friends right Carlisle?" I looked at him meanfully.
"Oh, yeah friends! That's exactly what I was going to say, eh? So, Bella how-"
"Lucy, do you mind if me and your doctor talk outside for a moment?"
"Sure, no problem!" She said brightly, returning her gaze to the TV we had switched on.
I walked outside, "Is there anywhere we could talk privately?"
"Not here, what about my house?" He questioned.
"Um, no thanks."
"But you have to meet my children! And my wife - she's called Esme, and she is amazing!" He smiled, just thinking about her and I was happy for him, even though I had already known.
"That's great but I think it might be better to meet at mine."
"Okay, well my shift finishes in five minutes, so do you mind waiting. Then, I can just follow you in my car - "
"Okay, well see you soon."

We sat in my house, both of us sitting awardly across from each other on the large sofas in my living room. I had been careful to lead him into a room in my house which had the least objects showing exactly ... what I was. Carlisle looked plain awkward, but I was pretty sure I looked guilty for something I had never told him before. "Look - " we both said at the same time, then burst out laughing. "Just like old times, eh?" Carlisle laughed, though I was sort of guilty.
"Carlisle, there's something you should know."
"Course, speak away my child,"
"See, its sort of about that and I, well, I'd appreciate it if you didn't interrupt. And, I completely understand if you hate me and never want to speak to me again after I tell you, but you have to understand I couldn't, I wasn't allowed to! And, I can't tell you everything either, just a little bit.
"I suppose, you already worked out that I'm not human, I mean obviously I'm not if I'm still alive and if you listen you hear no heartbeat. Yet, none of your children, well your adopted children, have realised that which is probably why you haven't heard about me until now unless, I may have been described as the bitch who made them eat food. Sorry about that, I wasn't in a good mood.
"So, here I am, looking exactly the same as I did when you were changed into a vampire, though add a few years. But not any differences apart from that. Were you to imagine what I looked like back, before you were changed, you would have thought I looked like this, and so I do. Which raises the question, if I was supposed to have died 300 years ago, yet I'm still alive now, what am I?
"Which is the bit you're going to hate me for. Carlisle, this will probably going to make no sense, I know that, but I'm going to try my best to explain this mess that's my life. It's confusing but I'm going to try because I owe it to you, and I owe it to your old wife to explain it, or at least attempt you. So if you'll please just listen to me and I will tell you before you kick me out or order your children to try to kill me or something like that.
"I know ... vampire's human memories fade, and I understand if you don't remember as a child but if you can, think back. Back to when I was first born. Do you recall, that even when I was only a day old, I was able to speak and speak just like you could, carry out proper conversations with you, and I could walk when I was only an hour old. You remember that, but you and your friends thought I was just smart, and I suppose yeah I was - smart, I mean.
"But, it was only your wife that knew the whole story. And I'm really sorry about this, and I really am. I can't even describe how bad I feel about this, but Carlisle I'm not your daughter.
"No! Don't interrupt. Just let me explain what happened okay, just let me talk for that long please. So, then you'll be wondering who's child am I? And that's a really good question, but I can't the answer. You can guess what I am, but I can tell you because I'm bounded by a law by my kind forbids me from telling anyone important imformation about my kind.
"What I can tell you, is that I come from a family. I have a sister, and I have a father. My mother is unexistant. My family is the only one is the entire existance of plant, animal and mythical exsistance that has no mother. We're one of a kind, created by our father. One thing I can tell you about us is that all of us have been alive since before time, since before the world was created.
"So, if I've been alive for that long, you probably want to know how come you knew me as a child growing up, more specifically as your child. Its a good question. As time flew by, as centuries past people grew more and more suspicious, it became harder and harder for my kind to remain inconspicious so I invented something which would help me do that.
"I do a thing called rebirth. I pick a mother and a father which are suitable to raise a child, and wouldn't think I was crazy if I was far, far too intelligent for my age. I'm born into the family by the mother, and so I become a part of teh family. Although, if you were to look at my genes, you'd find that I would look nothing like what are supposedly my parents, and that I don't even seem to be related to anyone, even my father.
"In the 1700s, I had done what I had invented many times and its only fair for me to tell you exactly how it happens. I don't have to do it. In fact, I haven't been a child since ... Well for a while now.
"And, first of all, I had to choose a family I could go into. It needed to be a good family, a lovable one and one with a mother I would be able to trust. And I met your old wife Catherine one rainy day.
"I had found it hard to find someone that was suitable, and I had been looking for over a month but eventually I found Catherine. I looked at her, and I knew that she was the one I needed to be my mother. I explained to her what this entailed and she agreed.
"But something went wrong, to this day I still have no idea what happened. Every single time, other than that day, my rebirth worked and both parents live but I don't what I did, but Catherine died the day she gave birth to me. And I'm really sorry about this, and everything else, and the fact that I can't even tell you anything else."
I stared down at my hands, too ashamed, guilty and scared of his reaction to look up at Carlisle.
