AN: Ok everybody!! I updated twice in 2 days!! AHHHH that's a new record for me! Anyways, has promised, this chapter is Bella and Edward!! Enjoy!

Edward's POV

I quickly changed directions, going north instead. I was just basically going to run in a big circle. I still couldn't believe it. Bella was back, Kelsey was Bella's daughter. I was just a screw up. Everything I did ended up badly. I was a monster, the worst possible kind. I slid to a stop, and sat on a rock to collect my thoughts. Actually, that was easy. My throat was kind of scratchy, and I needed to hunt. So, before I decided to deal with my problems, I decided it would be easier if I had a full stomach.

Bella's POV

I quickly found a herd of dear, about 10 miles northeast of the house. I stood quietly, my stomach somersaulting, has I determined the best way to kill them. I took off to the front of the heard, and quickly took down the leader. I drank quickly, ignoring my heaving stomach, and moved on to another. After that, I couldn't drink anymore. I dry heaved, my muscles tensing. I held my breath, trying to make it stop, when I heard rustling behind me. I gracefully turned around, only to see the person I wanted to see the most, and the least. Edward.

Nobody's POV

Edward took a step closer, his face contorted into a worried expression. His hand was reached toward her, like he wanted to help, but he moved no closer, unsure of what to do. Bella calmed down, and straightened up, just looking.

Edward decided to break the silence first. "Bella," was all he said. Bella made to move to answer him, so he continued. "Bella," he said again, and after a slight pause, he continued. "I'm sorry," was all he said.

Bella's overwhelming temper kicked in. "Sorry? Sorry for what? For leaving so many years ago? For breaking my heart? For showing your face again, what I've wanted for so many years, just to see 

your arms wrapped around another girl? Who is, in fact, my daughter? Tell, me Edward, what are you sorry for?" Her face was getting red, an angry blush creeping into her cheeks.

Edward noticed this, his expression a mixture of shock from the blush, but also a heartbroken expression from her outburst. "All of it," he answered. "I'm sorry for all of it. I left you, in hopes of you having a normal, human life. I could see the stress I was putting on you. You had to lie to everyone, and you were always risking your life being with me, in so many ways. I'm sorry what I did to you Bella, it was never my intention. I know nothing I ever do will be enough to tell you how sorry I really am," he forced out. His voice broke, and he dry sobbed.

Bella stood and watched this, his words seeping in. He left to protect me? Has she thought back, to those foggy human memories, she realized how true they were. Why didn't she this before? After her disastrous birthday party, she should have caught on. He was so hesitant, and he gradually drifted away from her. And all she did when he told her he was leaving, was stand there and except it. No fighting, just her standing there, like the stupid human she was. She shook her head, and she felt the wetness of tears streaming down her cheeks, again. She collapsed to the ground and sobbed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she kept repeating, over and over again, covering her face with her hands.

She was still sobbing when she felt two marble hand gently tug hers away from her face. His eyes were soft, calming. "Bella, you have nothing to be sorry for. You didn't do anything wrong," he said softly, his voice has smooth and soft has velvet.

All Bella did was sit there, looking into his topaz eyes. She took a deep breath then got to her feet, giving a hesitant smile.

Edward smiled back. Has she wiped away the tears, he asked, "Bella, you…your…" he stumbled over the words, not sure of how to say it.

"You mean the tears and the blush?" Edward nodded.

Bella glanced at her watch. "I have to go. Kelsey's waiting."

Edward nodded, then said "Meet me later. Please. At my house. You can see everyone again. "

Bella hesitated, then nodded, smiling. "It would be nice to see everyone again."

He quickly told her the address, and then they both bolted their separate ways, back to their families.
