"What is it Bella?" I asked, and my smile began to fall.

"It's Charlie...he is really sick. Carlisle said said he-" her voice broke, "will only have a couple months to live.... If we're lucky."

Oh no. I had a feeling he was sick. He was acting a bit off. He kept forgetting things, and then turning almost as pale as Bella when she was human. I knew something was wrong, I should have asked. I love Charlie. He is like my second dad, he has known me since I was born. He is as much my family as Bella is. Until now, I never thought how much he meant to me. He taught some much, like fishing-even though Billy could have too. I remember how, once in a while, he'd babysit me. He accepted me from the time I was a toddler, to a shape shifting wolf. Hearing this news, it feels like when I found out my mother was sick.

Nessie's soft cry snapped me out of my daze. She is the only one that can catch my attention right now. She is my priority, my life, my reason for breathing. I see how she needs me now more than ever. She has never known anyone who has, or could die beside Charlie, Sue and the tribe. I went over to her to try my best to make her relax. It's times like this that I really feel bad for Jasper, having to feel the sad feelings enveloping everyone. He, Emmett and I have developed a brotherly bond. Until I knew him I didn't realize how outgoing he is. He used to seem so shy- but he is definitely my favorite of my two vampire brothers. Edward, although my comrade, is soon to be my father-in-law! As Ness drifted to sleep on me, I thought how this was probably one of the longest nights of my life. Normally I would leave her side and let her sleep (only because of Edwards rules with me sleeping in the in the same bed as her) but tonight I can't be without her. He understands that much - he feels the same way about Bella. As much as I want to be strong for my love, I need her now more than ever!!!

B.P.O.V: ( Before telling Jake and Nessie about Charlie)

Hearing that the Volturi are coming to destroy my family again scares me more than I let on. Only Jasper can tell what I'm really feeling, but with all the tense emotions right now, I bet he doesn't know who's feeling what right now. I can't show that I'm terrifies right now, or else I'll only worry Edward, and ruin everyone's night. I will not let my emotions ruin Renesmee and Jake's moment of happiness. This moment, is what's most important, right now. We all can deal with the Volturi later, but for now, it's the time of celebrating an engagement with friends.

(Many hrs later. After the party,and some old friends had left, Jake & Nessie are out of the house.)

A couple of hours ago Carlisle got called to the hospital. The doctor on call, that was supposed to be working tonight called in at the last minute with the flu. So at the house it is just Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmet, Esme, Edward, and I. When Alice ran out she realized that her running out was just like last time and she didn't want to put us through her leaving again without a word.

Everyone, but me, was involved in a conversation. I tried to pay attention at first, but I have too much on my mind right now. My thoughts were completely focused on the Volturi. Just picturing their piercing blood red eyes and their cold disregard toward everyone dominated my thoughts. I can't understand why they won't leave us alone. We haven't done anything illegal, by their standards anyway. We aren't planning to overthrow them, disobey our one law, or even gossip about how outdated their clothes are! I just can't see the logic behind their actions. The only thing that I can think of that might cause this upset is how much Aro wants to add Alice to his collection. And destroying her family is not the way to go about getting her to join. Alice would never join them. If they even try to force her to join they are breaking their own rules. If the Volturi destroy us they will have a large uprising on their hands. Our family is too big for other vampires around the world not to notice if we disappear. The word would eventually get out to others that we were destroyed. Vampires don't like leaders who abuse their power and break their own rules. Nobody does. The Volturi need someone to explain their reasoning for this, explain the pros and cons of their plan to get rid of Cullen's forever. If we just go and explain to them what will be the outcome of their little plot, using Alice of course, we can come to a solution where both the Volturi and my family can be happy.

"PERFECT!" exclaimed Alice as she jumped up.

"What's perfect?" I asked.

"Your idea will work." She explained slowly, as though that cleared things up.

"What idea? I haven't even said anything. Heck, I don't even know what you all have been talking about."

"You and I are going to go to the Volturi and we are going to have a meeting with Aro, Caius, and Marcus. During this meeting we are are going to explain to them that they will be destroyed once everyone finds out that the Cullen's are destroyed. I had to know that all the vampires will conspire against them if they broke their rules. You will also have to pull down your shield for Aro. You and I are the only ones Aro trusts in this family. Me because of my visions. You because you couldn't lie as a human and you haven't gotten much better!"

"Okay, so when are we going Alice?"

"In one month, we will leave and be gone for three days."

"Good it will be a short vis-" I was cut off by a phone ringing.

Esme answered, but thanks to our vampire hearing we could tell it was Carlisle.

"Esme darling I need to speak with Bella please." Said Carlisle almost in sad tone.

I wonder why Carlisle needs to talk to me.

"Hello Carlisle." I greeted cautiously

"Bella, I am afraid I have some bad news. Sue went home with Chralie and when they were getting ready to go to sleep Charlie collapsed. Sue called an ambulance and I did a scan when he arrived. Bella, Charlie has terminal brain cancer."

My hand dropped and the phone fell with a thud.

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. My very good friend Rhpsp wrote this chapter for me. Please R&R to tell us what you thought. It really does make us work faster!!!!
