Bella POV
My eyebrows went up in surprise. Emmett had the same shocked expression as we went towards the door. I opened it and found two beautiful vampires standing there. The woman had long, brown curly hair, wide gold eyes, and a porcelain face just like a doll. The man…more like boy, had curly reddish brown hair and sparkling gold eyes. He had a crooked smile on his face. Something about them was too familiar, but I couldn't figure it out.
"Hello." I greeted, trying to hide my confusion. The woman also looked confused, but it vanished from her face.
"I'm looking for Edward Masen? A friend of mine told me he lived here?" All of a sudden I realized who the two people in front of us were; Ruth and Anthony, Edward's wife and son. How much of a coincidence could this be? An alarming surge of jealousy passed through me as I looked her over once more. It shocked me. There was no reason for me to feel jealous at all. Emmett and I were perfect mates. It didn't matter that Edward and I were married before or that he married Ruth before me. I have Emmett and that is the only thing that matters. I pondered the jealousy for a moment and wondered if it could be from their son; something I never realized that I wanted till it was too late. I shook off the negative feelings and smiled warmly at them.
"You must be Ruth and Anthony." Emmett said with a smile of his own. Ruth looked stunned.
"How do you know who we are?" Anthony asked. He sounded so much like Edward that it was mind boggling.
"We found a bunch of records a little bit ago and a memoir that your mom wrote was in there. We also know Edward and his coven very well." I explained calmly. Ruth seemed a little less freaked out by my explanation.
"I always wondered where that paper went." She mused. "Who are you two exactly?" She asked politely.
"I'm Emmett and this is my mate Bella." Emmett said with a smile in my direction.
"It's nice to meet you two. Would you mind if we come inside?" She asked with the same politeness. I nodded and we moved out of the way so they could come in. Emmett kissed my cheek softly as I shut the door. We followed them to the living room. Ruth looked around thoughtfully before stopping in front of the piano. I took off the cloth cover so Ruth could sit at the bench. "Do you mind if I play?" She asked.
"Please, go ahead." Emmett responded with a smile. Ruth began playing a soft melody. Not long after she began to play, she started to sing.

Looking into your eyes
I see all I want to be
I don't want it to end
If I could only put to words the way
I see you
I only know I have an angel with me now
And when I fall asleep
You're all that I see
You're in my thoughts
And all of my prayers
I wish I could be
All that you mean to me
My angel without wings
My angel
Her voice was beautiful. It truly sounded like an angel. "Edward wrote that for me a long time ago." She mused happily at the memory. I bit my lip, fighting off the underlying ugly jealousy I was feeling. It wasn't so much that he wrote her a song, but the fact he called me an angel without wings on our wedding day. Emmett stared intensely at me, trying to make sure I was okay. I gave him a reassuring smile before taking a deep breath.
"You have a lovely voice." I commented sincerely. Ruth smiled at me in appreciation.
"Thank you, Bella. Do you play any?" She inquired curiously.
"I have learned a piece or two, but it isn't anything too impressive." I admonished.
"She's being modest. I think she has the voice of a heavenly angel." Emmett admired while placing a kiss on the top of my head. Anthony grinned at us from next to Ruth.
"Thank you two for being hospitable. We did not know what to expect when we got here, but do you know where I could find Edward at?" Ruth sounded thankful and nervous all in the same breath. Emmett and I exchanged looks before nodding.
"We can take you to him." Emmett answered and I nodded again in agreement. No matter how much we did not want to see the Cullen's, Edward deserved to know that his wife and son were alive and looking for him. God knows how long they've been searching for him. We had to put our own personal feelings aside and do the right thing.
"Thank you!" Ruth exclaimed gleefully.
"We've been searching for so long." Anthony sighed. I could hear the happiness lying in his voice at finally finding an answer.
"I suppose we should grab our bags again." I laughed. Emmett raced upstairs and came back with our duffle bags. We led Ruth out towards the car and we all piled in, leaving the white house in the rear view mirror.
