I had a fan girl overload yesterday and this morning when both Bornonhalloween and Savage mentioned me in their AN...um...squeal!

He never made it back to bed.

Instead he forced himself to watch every interview…

Every story…

Every second of what his son had caused.

The worst was when Isabella Swan was shown leaving the hospital.

She was so small and all alone.

And it was entirely his fault.

He remembered the way she had pulled away from him when she found out who he was.

But she had comforted him when no one else had.

And that would stay with him.

He was shocked when he saw his own house flash on the screen.

The windows were dark.

They put Sam's school picture up and he searched his son's eyes for a clue.

He was desperate for answers.

When the doorbell rang he was hesitant as he walked to the side window and looked out.

When he saw the slight figure of Isabella Swan standing with her head down outside his door he felt bile bubble up into his throat.

He didn't want to answer it.

But he couldn't ignore her.

Not after what had already been taken from her.

When he opened the door she raised her swollen and red-rimmed eyes to his face.

He stepped back and motioned her in.

She came without hesitation.

Huge congrats to my girl Edward's Eternal who went over 2k reviews for 'Awaken' yesterday. I was reviewer 1999...cool huh? I was also review number one if I'm not mistaken.

Another one coming...
