A/N: I know it's been a while..but I'm trying!!! :)

Oh, and hooray for the longest chapter yet!

Alice POV

It had been months since he left. No one talked about it anymore. Actually no one talked at all anymore. Things had changed and nobody knew how to fix it. Not a single member of this family had realized how tied to Edward we were. He held us together. Now he's gone, and we are just a group of nomads, not a family.

Wait...I'm having a vision.....

!!!!!!

Rosalie's POV

I picked up the Gucci blouse and held it against my bosom. "Emmett do you like this one?"

You looked up from the sports magazine he'd been scanning.

"Um....yes?" I sighed....guys.

I pranced down the hall to Alice's and Jasper's room. I needed to talk to someone. I pushed the door open and bustled in, unaware to Alice. She sat motionless on the bed, her eyes a clouded gold, her mouth parted, and her head tilted to the side.

I waited, not wanting to disrupt, her vision. Eventually, she snapped her head up and seemed a little bit surprised to see me.

"Oh. Rose, hi. I like that blouse!" I smiled. At least she noticed.

"What was your vision about?" I asked, for she was bouncing around, excitedly.

"Edward is coming for a visit!"

"Oh...? Why?" I asked skeptically. The last he came it had ended in me and him getting in a huge fight, and him storming out of the house. Esme wouldn't talk to me for days.

"I guess he wants to speak with Esme." She looked sweetly at nothing in particular. "Esme certainly does favor Edward. It's so adorable how Edward can fight a new-born, but all hail the wrath of Esme!" She giggled.

"Hey! I heard that!" Esme called musically up the stairs. "I do not favor Edward." She said dashing into Alice and Jasper's room.

"I see you're in a better mood." I commented. This felt so right. Like it used to be. "Does this have anything to do with your favorite son returning home for a visit?" I asked raising my eyebrows innocently.

"No." She said too quickly.

"Liar." Alice muttered and we all started giggling. Maybe things will be different....

"Rosalie," Esme asked, "will you behave yourself this time?" She finished sternly.

I looked down embarrassed by my prior actions. "I've acted foolish." I stated, and I watched love fill Esme's eyes.

"Yes, but you are our favorite fool." She said, brushing a lock of my blond hair from my face. I smiled as Emmett entered.

"Huh-uh! That's me remember!?" I giggled and loped into his open arms.

"Well I guess you guys are just prefect for each other!" Alice joked, and rolled her eyes.

"So, what did I hear about Edward?" Emmett asked kissing Rosalie's nose.

"He's coming back for a visit!" Alice squealed and I was again hit by a hint of jealousy; at how Edward and Alice were so close. You'd think that Alice and I would be close, us being girls and all. But, Nooo! Edward this, Edward that!

I sighed and Esme noticed. She placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

"I know," I replied to her unspoken gesture.

!!!!!!

Carlise's POV

I can't think right! This isn't working! Argh! I for the life of this, couldn't figure out how to pull my family back together.

"Dammit," I cursed under my breath.

"Now, now, Carlise you shouldn't use such language around the children," Esme said making me jump a bit. I hadn't heard her come in at all.

"Sorry," I muttered. I glanced at her and saw her happy smile slip from her face.

"Please." She begged me.

"What is it." I asked a bit softer.

"Edward is coming back to visit," She said wrapping her hands around each of my forearms. "And I think we should welcome him back. After all it's been ages." I could hear the pain dripping from her words.

She pulled me towards her, and I didn't need more encouragement then that. I wrapped my arms around Esme, my beautiful wife, and she snuggled into my neck. I breathed in her scent.

"Mmmm. I suppose I could be more optimistic." I purred against her neck.

"Really, and what would it take to get you to do that?"

"Hmm?" I said stroking my chin. "I have some ideas?"

"Mmm, yes." She murmured, her voice full of lust. She began pushing me backwards towards my couch in my study. "Besides, we are immortal, he'll be back eventually....I hope."

"Me too." Then I turned us around so I was on top and slowly laid her on my couch and straddled her waist. "Me too." I repeated.

!!!!!!

Alice's POV

Only 8 more minutes!!! Jasper! Where's Jasper?!!

"Yes, dear?" Jasper said in a voice that only he could use.

"How'd you know I needed you?"

"I could sense the neediness flowing off you like the Nile" Jasper chuckled.

I pouted and turned away, "I'm not needy"

"Of course not, "Jasper said as he wrapped his hands around my waist, "You're perfect."

I couldn't help but giggle. I turned in his arms so I was facing him. He leaned down to kiss me, and I stood on my toes. He barely brushed his lips against me and even after decades, it sent a shock through me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed myself against his lips. They moved together in a sync, pushing and pulling on each other. I took his bottom lip in my mouth and sucked on it.

He moaned into my mouth, and held me behind my thighs, pulling them around his waist. He pulled away from me and began giving light kisses down my neck. I moaned as I felt a wave come off Jasper.

"JASPER! ALICE! Cut it out!" Rosalie yelled down the hall and Jasper and I reluctantly pulled away from each other. I pouted and Jasper kissed it away. I let him hold me for a minute.

Only 2 minutes!!!

"Oh! Jasper, here put this on!" I said running in and out of our closest.

"Why?" I want you to look nice when Edward gets here." I smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, 'cause Edward has always been so fashion forward." Jasper snorted sarcastically.

"Oh, Jazz, just put it on." She laughed.

...

"Oh my God!!! Jazz! Edward is here! YYYEEEAAAHHH!" I skipped out of the room and down the stairs. I opened the door.

Edward stood a few feet away.

Edward looked so different to me. Although the average human probably couldn't tell. His pale skin was almost translucent, and deep bruises marked under his eyes, which were black with the palest bit of onyx in them.

"Edward." I breathed and gathered him in a hug.

His body stiffened, and he stopped breathing, so I pulled away quickly. Then it was Esme's turn, and this time Edward looked guilty beyond reason. Then Carlise was hugging him, and Edward looked like he was having a hard time not talking. Rose, Emmett, and Jasper appeared to react much the same as the rest of us.

"Edward, tell us what you've been up to?" Carlise asked him.

Edward glanced around to see if he could change the subject. Seeing none you answered, "Tracking."

Emmett sat up at that. "Really?"

"Yes." Was all Edward said. I could see the hurt in Emmett's face.

I gave it a shot. "What have you been tracking?"

"Victoria."

This set us all back a bit. There was a moment of uncomfortable silence.

"I'm going to go hunting." Edward said and it was the most he'd said since he got here.

"I'll go with you," Emmett said trying to prove to himself that Edward still liked him.

"No, I'll go by myself." Then he stood up and walked quickly out of the room.

After several quiet seconds Esme began sobbing tearlessly.

Edwards POV

This was a very very very bad idea. I shouldn't be here. I need to go.

I jumped lithely and snapped the neck of a deer, and plunged my teeth into its delicate neck. After 2 deer, I decided I was more in control, and headed back to the house. I pulled my shoes off, so I could feel the snow on my feet. It felt strange to feel something colder then me.

I could see the house up ahead, and began running fast. When I finally got to the house, I listened to their thoughts.

'My boy. Why did I let my boy go. I feel like I killed him. I wish I could take back that decision. I wish we never would have gone to Forks.' Carlise thought, darkly for once.

'I've lost my baby! He won't even talk to me! I'm his mother. What if he doesn't love me anymore?! Oh no! I've failed as a mother. If only I could kill myself again. NO! Don't like that. You have other children to love.' Esme tormented herself. I winced.

'If you're listening Edward..I'm about to come bitch slap you!' Rosalie vibrated with hatred.

'He hates me now. We used to aways go hunting, Always. What's different now? Is it me? I can always change. Anything for Eddie.' Emmett thought desperately.

'I know you're out there listening. You need to get in her and explain yourself! NOW! We all missed you and you're being a total ass hole!' Alice chirped.

'EERRR! Edward, stop them please. I'm gonna explode from all the sadness. It hurts so bad!' Jasper hissed.

...

I quickly slipped in the door, and sat down.

I cleared my throat and looked up. Everyone was watching me. "I need to explain." I glanced at Alice and she nodded her head solemnly. "I'm sorry" I spit out. "It will just never be the same with me. I don't even see the point in life anymore. I don't like being around people because things about them remind me of...of...her." I said and dropped my head in my hands. Horrified of my weakness.

"I can't be around you guys, and I'm sorry, I just wanted to say good-bye." I looked up. "Good-bye." I made eye contact with everyone and then walked to the door and opened it. I turned around again, and memorized everyone. This most likely was the last time I would ever see them. Then I turned and walked out shutting the door behind myself.

A/N: WooHoo! Took me long enough getting that one posted, eh? Well I hope you liked it.
