Carlisle POV:

As soon as my shift was over I headed straight home. Abby had a memory come back. Something about her mom teaching her the piano, which also led to figuring out hold old she was. Turning twelve in February. That puts her ahead of her age with her education. She was home schooled.

I needed to talk to Edward about how he pulled this memory to the surface with her. Try to trigger more memories from her.

I walked in to the house Esme was upstairs in our room reading. Edward was still at Bella's for a few more hours. Rose and Emmett were in their room. Alice and Jasper went hunting.

I went up to Abby's room to check on her. When I opened the door she was not in bed. I walked in to find her setting in front of the fireplace. She looked mesmerized by the flames. I walked over to her and set beside her.

"Abby it's three in the morning. Aren't you tired?" I asked softly.

Never taking her eyes off the fire. "I couldn't sleep. If I don't sleep I don't have those empty nightmares."

"Esme tells me you had a memory tonight. You know how to play the piano. And very well I might add."

"My mother taught me. Did she also tell you that we figured out I will be turning twelve?" She said blankly.

"Yes and I think Alice is jumping for joy as we speak about throwing you a birthday party." I laughed

"But we don't know the day." She looked at me.

"If we leave it up to Alice. She will have a party for you everyday just to make sure we don't miss it." I laughed and she let out a small giggle.

But her face went slack and she turned back to stare at the fire. "Carlisle, what happens if I get memories that I don't want to remember?"

"Then we will work on them as a family. Did you remember something else?" This is one of those moments I needed Edward's ability.

"No. But nothing is perfect and I'm quite sure I have just as many bad memories as I do the good ones. Why else would I be found in the woods in the shape I was in by myself." I saw a tear fall down her cheek.

"Abby you have a home here. And when we figure out what had happened to you, we will deal with it. You are not alone anymore."

"Thank you, I think I'm tired now." She stood up and gave me a big hug. I hugged her back.

I got up with her and tucked her into bed. Before I got to the door. She said something that struck me weird.

"Carlisle, you can sit by the fire if you want to. It must be really cold out because you are freezing."

I turned to look at her. For the first time since she has gotten here she catches on to things quick.

"I might take you up on your offer. But first I want to tell Esme goodnight."

Edward POV:

It was almost time for Charlie to get up for work. I kissed Bella lightly on the lips and left her bed. I drove home and noticed everyone was home. I walked into the house.

"Edward, how did you get Abby to go into detail about her memory?" Carlisle said

I set down at the table and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I heard Esme comment me on the piano but it wasn't me. So I just walked up to Abby and set down beside her. She was so focused on playing that I don't think she noticed me setting there until I talked to her. Then I just kept my voice low not to startle her and kept the questions simple." I said trying to read his thoughts. He was blocking something. I will have to talk to him later about that.

"Were you able to read her thoughts?"

"Yes, she was thinking about being small and her mother sitting beside her and tapping her foot to keep up with the beat. She knows what her mom looks like. I saw her. None of this makes since. Why if such a good memory be in a abandon house and her running?" I looked at him.

"She said the same thing to me tonight when I got home. I went up to check on her and she was awake and sitting in front of the fireplace. Wanted to know about bad memories." He looked at me. I shrugged. What could I say about that got to take the bad with the good.

Alice spoke up which reminded me that this was a family meeting and not just me and Carlisle.

"She will be waking up in about an hour. She is restless right now." She said.

"Well then I need to start her breakfast. You kids need to go act like you all just woke up when she does." Esme called to us while heading into the kitchen.

Abby POV:

I raised up and yawned I got out of bed and started to make it. I put the stuffed animals on my bed. I swear Alice buys me a new stuffed toy every time she goes to town.

I had a thought. They have to go to school today! I ran down the stairs to be by a big back sitting on the bottom steps. I leaped and wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Emmett laughed and took off towards the kitchen. He took my arms and lowered me down off his back. Alice sat beside me and was smiling.

I looked around at everyone in their school clothes. "Do I get to go to school today?"

Rose came up and put her arms around my shoulders. "Carlisle thinks it is best that you stay here until we find out more about your schooling. So far your only twelve and your smarter than Emmett."

I giggled. He looked at me. "Hey! Who side are you on?"

I glanced at Rose she winked at me. "Mine of course." Everyone in the room busted out laughing.

"Yep developing attitude just like Rose." Jasper kissed the top of my head.

I got all serious. "I want to go to school."

"Maybe after the first of the year we can enroll you. But right now we just want to safe." Carlisle walked into the room. "Remember when we talked about bad memories? I don't want you to have one and none of us are around to help you with it."

I dropped my head. "Yes sir."

I got up from the table "May I be excused?" Esme nodded her head and I turned and walked back up to my room. I didn't feel like eating right now.

Alice POV:

School was boring. We had taken a few weeks off from school due to illness in the family. But now was time to go back. I kept an eye on Abby. She pouted a little bit but before we left she came back down and gave us hugs.

Sitting in 5th hour class with Emmett I could tell his mind was wondering. Then it hit me.

I turned to Emmett. "Alice what is it?"

"Abby" was all I had to say and he was gone. One second he was setting there the next he was gone.

Oh no what has she gotten herself into?
