I don't own Twilight

"Bella can I talk to you? "Emmett asked knocking on Bella's door. It was the night before the party but he had something he wanted to give to her in privet.

"Of course she slide across her bed making room for him." He sat there and looked at her the daughter he thought he would never again see.

"I have something for you."

"But I thought the party was tomorrow." She said.

"It is but I wanted to give this to you privately." He opened his hand and held out a tarnished heart shaped locket. He gently flipped the hinges open and inside was a picture of a young women that Bella could only assume was her mother. "Bells I want you to have this."

"But….. But… she stuttered looking for the right words. "How do you have this."

"After Rose changed me I snuck back into the house one last time I watched you sleep I whispered good bye to you and my parents and I collected this locket."

"But why?" she asked bewildered she always figured her father hated her mother.

Emmett could tell that Bella was confused he didn't need Jasper for that. "Bella Becky might have been a lot of things but above all she was your mother, and my first love. Even if she never did anything else good in her life she did one good thing in giving you to me."

Bella took the locket and looked it over carefully she had never met her mother let alone seen a picture of her. So that's what she looked like slightly darker hair then herself and light eyes.

"You were a perfect mix of both of us." Emmett whispered.

"Did you really love her?" Bella asked, Did she really love you?" these were questions she'd been dying to ask somebody her whole life questions her grandparents really were not able to answer for her.

"Bella its complicated but Yes I loved your mother I would have married her I thought I was going to marry her or I'd have never slept with her. Your mother on the other hand is a different type of girl I think she cared about me but she was very fickle she got what she wanted and didn't really care about anyone in the process. Her family was rich she expected everything handed to her on a silver platter and she thought love was a game."

Bella looked over at her father. "When did you realize?"

"Oh she was good at the game that's for sure I didn't realize until she told me she was pregnant and she refused my proposal telling me she was going to hand you over to me after your birth." He could see the stricken look in his daughter's eyes and held her close. "Honey don't doubt your mother loved you because in her own way she did but she was seventeen she wasn't a mature one either she didn't know what to do with a puppy let alone a baby." He looked into her eyes. "I did watch her hold you the moment you were born and I know it was hard for her to give you up but really I think that is the one unselfish thing you mother every did baby girl and for that I have to be grateful to her."

"What about Rose?" She whispered into her father's chest.

"Rose is my soul mate my one true love I trust her and love her to distraction but no one not even Rose can take your mothers place for just that Reason she's your mother." She pulled away the locket in her hand.

"Thank you daddy." She hugged him tightly "I love you."

"I love you to baby girl I love you to." He left the room Bella stared down at the locket that held so much pain and memory's for her father and thought back to all she had learned that night all she had to think about and stuff from her past that all made sense now. She laid the locket on her dresser and climbed into bed she contemplated her past and future for the rest of the night.

A/N I know shorter than usual but this scene came to me and I didn't want any other scene's to distract from it. Thanks for all the reviews and please review if you want more.
