Tony's P.O.V.

After Bella was off to bed, we sat silently for a while.

"I can't believe that boy!", Ziva said after a while. If it was possible, she looked as furious as I felt.

Who did this boy think he was, that he had the arrogance to play with someone like that.

"Me neither.", I said, "But I hope that I will never meet him or any of his family. I really don't know what I would do."

"Isabella is quiet the exceptional character, don't you think?", Ducky said, "She has every right to hate these people but she still loves them."

"That's why she's still so hurt, I guess. It would be easier for her, if she just hated them or if she was at least angry.", Abby said with a sad sigh.

"That's right. But we must not forget who we are talking about. This is Bella. She is simply not capable of hate.", I said.

This statement was welcomed with approval from the others and an hour or so later they all left.

Saturday morning - Bella's P.O.V.

The Saturday went by quickly. Abby showed up and together with Tony we wandered through the city and ate lunch at a small restaurant.

Nobody mentioned the Cullens or anything related to them. I was very grateful for that. It's still hard to think about them. I mean, they were the closest thing I had to a family and they just left, leaving me alone and heartbroken. It's not just hi- Edward that I was missing, it was rather the whole family. The way they interacted with each other, the love that was radiating off of them that simply screamed family.

The rest of the day was spent in the park, where Gibbs, Ducky, Ziva and McGee joined us. We were just hanging out and I felt like I belonged. My life finally made a turn for the better.

"Hey, Bella!", Gibbs said at one point, "What are you going to do now, that you are back. I mean, all your future-plans aren't really up to date now, are they.?"

"Uh... well, I thought about going to college next year. Until then... I don't know... I guess I will be getting myself a job and save money." I said and shrugged. I hadn't really thought about it yet, but that seemed like a good plan.

"If you are looking for job, why don't you start at NCIS?", Tony asked.

"Really?"

"I'm sure we can find something for you. Come to headquarters on Monday with Tony, and we'll talk with the director.", Gibbs said. I nodded. Working at NCIS could be great. I can imagine working there, with my family around.

When it was time for dinner, we all went home and I warmed up the leftovers form last night.

I went to bed soon after.

Sunday - Bella's P.O.V.

I woke up around 7:30. I had this stupid nightmare again but it was different this time. First of all, I didn't wake up screaming and I wasn't alone in the end. Tony was there and Gibbs and Ducky and Abby and even Ziva and McGee. It still hurts, but being here is definitely helping.

After a small breakfast, Tony and I drove to the cemetery where Kate was buried. We bought flowers for her grave on the way there.

Then we got to her grave.

"Hey, Kate.", Tony said, "Look, who I brought with me. She sure has grown a bit since you last saw her, hm? Well I will give you two a bit space. Bella, I will be at the car when you are finished here, okay?"

He laid the flowers on the foot of the gravestone and walked away slowly.

"Hey, Kate.", I said while sitting down. "I'm back home. And I'm soooo sorry that I wasn't here sooner but I'm sure you understand that, don't you? I had a great time with Renee and Charlie. After I had to leave Phoenix, I went to live with Charlie in Forks. When I came there, there was a new family. A doctor, his wife and their "adoptive children"(I really did the quote sings here), who went to high school.

I soon found out that they were vampires. Yeah, you heard right. Vampires do exist. Most of the myths are wrong. They don't have fangs, they don't sleep in coffins – they never sleep at all, garlic does nothing to them... what else? They don't burn in the sun – they sparkle like thousands of diamonds. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Oh, and a stake through the heart won't kill them. The only way to kill them is to rip them into pieces and burn them. They are ice-cold and marble-hard and their eyes can change colors. When they are thirsty they are black, otherwise they are crimson red when feeding of the coven in Forks had golden eyes because they are living of animal blood.

They became something like my second family and I fell in love with one of them. His name's Edward..."

And so I told her everything that happened. The incident in Phoenix, my birthday, Laurent, Jake and the pack, the fact that Victoria was still after me,... simply everything.

After I finished I sat there silently for a while, before I stood up and left, promising to visit again soon.

We drove back home and I started cooking. We watched a bit TV after dinner and I went to bed after a while.

The next morning went by smoothly and we were soon at NCIS. We just got out of the elevator, when I saw the director.

"Director Sheppard! Do you have a moment?", I asked.

"Oh, Bella. Yes I have. How can I help you?"

"I was wondering if I could get a job here.", I said a bit nervous.

"Well, the training already started this year, but you surely could get a desk-job til then."

"I was just thinking about a little job until I could go to college next year, but would you really like me to work here constantly?", I asked surprised.

"Yes, I wanted to talk to you about that anyway. I know you are smart and very observing and if you are anything like your brother, you would make a great agent. But if you want to go to college next year, I would understand that as well. I don't want to force you to anything you don't want..", she said.

"Oh, no, no. It's not that I don't want to work here, it just never crossed my mind that I would be capable of doing it, so I never thought about it."

"Well, you still have time to think about it. Let me know how you decide and I'm sure that we can find something for you until then. I'll call you later to let you know, okay?", she asked.

I nodded and she left.

Since the team had no case at the moment, they were all doing some overdue paperwork and I spend the day in Abby's lab until the director called me and told me where I would be working from now on.

I would be doing desk work. Delivering files, typing down stuff the others had no time to, and so on.


AN: So that's it for now... tell me what you think and happy easter!

love, T. ;)
