Hello. I'm just in the writing mood, and I feel like I owe you guys for not updating regularly. By the way, I think I should tell you that I don't own these characters...except for Thomas, Parker, blah blah blah.So here's one of those amazing rare chapters that are in the view of our favorite vampire family. The Cullens! Don't read this part if you haven't read Breaking Dawn, though I assume most of you have. Renesmee is born, Bella is a vampire, basically where we let off after Breaking Dawn.

I knew they were all staring at me. Waiting for me to spill the good news, or, the bad news. So far, the only one who could see what I was seeing right now was Edward.

He had a look of happiness, sadness, frustration, and knowing on his face.

Quickly I snapped out of my vision and went back to the family. Jasper had a neutral look on his face, while Carlisle and Esme looked worried. Rosalielooked like she didn't care, but she did. Thomas was still her brother. And, Emmett was sporting a look of enthusiasm.

Esme was the one that broke the silence.

"Is he okay?"

"I...I don't know. He's found happines, but I don't know when he'll be back...or who he's bringing back."

More silence. This time, Edward broke it.

"Alice, I need to talk to you."

I agreed. In my head, and I knew that Esme would be worrying again. The whole family would be worrying. Jasper would fix that, but I needed to reassure them.

"He is okay." I saod, and automatically felt a little of the tension in the room lifting.

I looked at Jasper, who in turn was staring at me and mouthed a silent "thank you."

Edward and I then left and ran a short distance to where the family couldn't hear us.

"Alice, you can't do this!"

"Edward, it's already happening, and it's not my life at stake, it's his. No pun intended."

"It's not his life! It's her's! That girl! She doesn't even know what she's doing. She's throwing her life away to a life of uncertainty and bloodlust."

He knew what I was going to say, even before I said it, but it hurt more in the form of words.

"Is that what you did to Bella?"

He was speechless.

"You did that to Bella and it made both of you happy. Are you denying your own brother happiness? Remember how you used to feel? All of us had a couple. You were the only one. Is that how you want Thomas to feel?"

He was silent for a moment. And then, almost so quietly that Alice didn't hear, he said, "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay Edward. I love you, but you need to be more selfless. If Thomas could learn from your mistakes, he would, but you haven't made any mistakes with Bella. You love her and she loves you. That should be enough. Now, stop refusing Thomas the chance of love. He'll make it right. I know Thomas and I know that he'll do the right thing. Now, let's go back to the house."

"You go, Alice, I need to think."

I left. Edward was thinking and that was what he needed to do. I knew that eventually, he wouldn't care what happened, but this built self esteem.
