Bit short but we're coming close to the end folks! Only 3 or 4 chapters left! Maybe going for 12; you know, like that 12 days of Christmas, haha! Enjoy and please review.


I spend the whole twenty minutes it takes him to get here, freaking out.

I am dying to see him, but I am worried.

Will he still want to see me when he sees how much I've changed? What will he say? What will he not say? What should I say?

My head hurts from all the thoughts running through it.

I take a few deep, calming breaths and my heart jumps to my throat when I hear the knock on my door.

I stand on shaky legs, swallowing deeply before slowly opening the door.

The sight of him after all these years causes my eyes to blur with tears. His strange bronze hair is still as unruly as ever; his facial features even sharper than they were 3 years ago; and his jade eyes are brimming with tears as they stare at me.

His warm hands reach up to cup my face, and fat tears roll down his face as he stares at me. My knees almost buckle from the intensity of his gaze.

"Bella.." he whispers brokenly. "Oh, Bella.."

My tears flood from my eyes as I stare into his beautiful eyes. "Edward.." I breathe.

He sobs once, pulling me into his arms quickly and rather roughly, but I don't care. His arms are squeezing me tight, but I don't care. I feel his tears dampening my hair and I'm pretty sure mines are staining his shirt, but I couldn't care less.

Because I'm home.
