Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight :(

Rosalie POV –

Is this really happening? I couldn't even think of Emmett being in that building. Alice gripped me and we both watched as the fire men arrived and put the fire out. They put it out, sealed it off and left. The police arrived and interviewed us. We both said we were driving past and saw the place on fire so called the fire department. After they left we just stood there staring at the restaurant.

"I can't believe this is happening" I whispered

"It'll be fine" Alice said "He's probably not in there anyway" She tried to reassure me however we both knew that there was a good chance Emmett was now dead.

"What's going on?" We heard a familiar voice speaking behind us, we both gasped in shock and hoping against hope we turned around

"EMMETT!" I squealed

"Oh Emmett, Thank God!" Alice said. We both rushed forward and threw ourselves at Emmett who looked shocked but hugged us both back. Alice let him go and stood back but I just gripped onto him even harder. How did I ever let him go and be stupid enough to let my illness and my father come between us? I loved him.

"I'm so sorry Emmett" I started dry-sobbing

"Hey, What for? What's going on?" He asked looking at me concern etched on his face

"The restaurant was on fire and we thought you were inside. We thought you were inside" Alice explained "Your car was just abandoned, Where the hell were you Emmett?"

"I just came here to talk to Adam" he admitted looking guilty

"And did you?" I asked standing back

FLASHBACK – EMMETT'S POV

I drove through the forest only half trying to avoid the trees. I needed to sort this out once and for all. I slammed the brakes as I came to the end of the forest. I raced across the car lot and burst through the doors. It was dark and Adam was sat at the bar on his own. He turned around and saw me stood in the doorway

"Ah Emmett, What an honour" He smiled

"Let's just skip the niceties and get down to business" I said my voice ice cold "I want to know where my wife is"

"ex-wife" he corrected

"Has Rosalie been here?" I asked him

"No, Even if she had come then I wouldn't let her in. I will forgive her only if and when she apologises but as she has inherited her mother's stubbornness, I feel I'm waiting for pigs for fly" I gripped him and pushed him up against the wall

"Listen to me, if Rose does turn up then you don't touch her, don't speak to her or even look at her in the wrong way. If I find out you hurt her then you're dead!" I snarled viciously at him before letting go and running out of the restaurant. I burst into the carpark taking deep breaths trying to calm down. I looked around and ran towards the woods. I was going to run in the forest and try to calm down.

EMMETT'S POV – PRESENT

"No" I lied to Rosalie "He wasn't here so I went for a run in the woods. I was angry and needed to clear my head. So does anyone know what caused the fire?" I asked trying to change the subject

"No" Alice said "I asked the firemen and they said it was too soon to tell but what I don't understand is Adam is a vampire. He would have been able to put out the fire before it got out of hand"

"Unless…Someone else set the fire…" I began

"…and he wasn't able to stop it because he was in pieces and that person was a vampire" Alice finished my sentence.

"It would make sense. Adam wasn't the most liked person in Forks" Rosalie admitted

"We need to get home and tell everyone" Alice announced "Rose can come with me in my car and Emmett you can go in yours" We all walked over to our cars and with a last look at what was now left at the restaurant I turned around and began the agonising drive home.

ROSALIE POV –

I was sat in the car only half listening to Alice chatter on. I was thinking about the restaurant and Adam. I knew for a fact that Adam was in that restaurant as I had seen him.

ROSALIE POV – FLASHBACK

I needed to see Adam. I needed him to leave us alone. He had destroyed my family and I felt really guilty. It was my fault he had caused them all so much heartbreak so I needed to do something.

I opened the door and stepped into the restaurant. It was dark and Adam was stood behind the bar

"Ah my second visit today by one the Cullens! How lucky am I!" he smiled sarcastically

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him "Are you that desperate for control? so desperate that you would do this to me, your own daughter?"

"I am your father and I deserve complete and utter respect by you!"

"Respect has to be earned Adam; you don't just immediately have it! You deluded pathetic old man! I cannot believe you actually think you are in the right!" I snarled angrily

"Ha That's what I love about you Rosalie, you always blame everyone else for your mistakes and never take any of the blame yourself" He scoffed

"That's because I'm blameless! You killed my daughter after telling me she was already dead! Not my fault! You ripped off my family after we wouldn't let you back in! Again not my fault! You are responsible for everything bad that has happened to me this past year! I am now asking you as your daughter to leave us alone and cease fire" I shouted getting closer and closer to him

"Do you remember this?" He asked me ignoring my question leaning behind the bar and pulling out a snowglobe. I remembered it clearly. When I was younger whenever I was naughty he would shake the snowglobe and only when each piece in the globe had fallen down he would stand up and punish me. He hated me misbehaving and especially if he'd had a drink the beatings where particularly bad.

"Yes I remember this but I also know that I am not a helpless little human girl anymore. I am a grown woman now, you can't control me anymore and I am no longer afraid of that stupid snowglobe" I watched the anger flash in his eyes as he smiled evilly, shook the globe and put it down on the bar. As I watched the pieces inside the globe fall down one by one I felt some of my childhood fear coming back. The belts and the shoes, "It's not the same, It's not the same" I told myself in my head,

"3,2,1" he said as the last of the pieces fell and he walked over to me. I slapped him and he gripped my hair. I gasped in pain and kicked his shin making him snarl and begin to push me towards the front door.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" I shouted. He ignored me and opened the front door

"Do you remember this Rosalie?! Do you remember as you walked through this door dragging your daughter? Do you remember how you callously threw her out?"

"Get lost!" I snarled as he stepped through the open door and he threw me on the ground

"Yes, you are totally blameless Rosalie" He said sarcastically before walking back inside the restaurant

ROSALIE POV – PRESENT

After my fight with Adam I set off for home but halfway there I decided to return. I looked over at Alice. She thought I had set the fire, I could see it in her eyes. We arrived at home and walked inside.

"Hello" I called out. Nobody answered

"Looks like nobodies in" Alice said as she sat down on the couch. I walked into the kitchen and gasped.

"Alice, Emmett Quick!" I shouted to them. They appeared at my side within a quarter of a second.

"Oh My god Edward!" Alice said rushing over to him and hugging him. Edward was in the kitchen. His shirt was torn, his pants where dirty and he had no socks or shoes on but he was here. Alice stood back and Emmett gave him a big hug. He looked to me, I didn't move. I hadn't seen Edward since before Bella died. Did he hate me for abandoning her? Did he think it was my fault?

"Hi" He croaked. He had obviously not spoken much since he had left.

"How are you?" I whispered then immediately regretted it. I more than anyone knew what he was feeling

"Surviving" he mumbled

"I'm glad you're back!" I smiled. He nodded

"Where have you been? Why are you back? How long are you back for?" Alice shot out question after question at him.

"I've just been…around. I just ran and ran at first not really caring where I went. Then I went to Brazil"

"Not that we're not happy to see you but…why are you back?" Emmett asked

"Jasper told me…about everything what happened with Adam and I thought I'd come back to help" He mumbled. We all shot a look at each other

"What?" Edward asked noticing

"It looks like there's no need. The restaurant set on fire today. We're pretty sure he was inside"

"Oh" Edward said

"That doesn't mean we're letting you leave" Alice warned "Esme has been going out of her mind with worry these past few months. If you have to leave please at least see her"

"Ok" he agreed

"Hello, Anyone home?" We heard Carlisle ask and the front door open and close

"Kitchen!" I said. He came in with a worried look on his face but it broke into a smile as he saw Edward

"Son!" Carlisle smiled walking over to him bringing him into a hug. We all smiled at the emotional reunion

"Hi Dad" Edward said hugging him back

"Don't stay away that long again" Carlisle lightly scolded him and he let him go.

"I only came back to kill that son of a bitch Adam but it seems that someone else has beaten me to it"

CARLISLE'S POV

I felt my stomach drop. Did they know?

"What are you on about?" I asked him trying to stay calm

"Well Emmettt, Alice and Rosalie say that there was a fire at the restaurant today and their was a pretty good chance Adam was inside"

"Who told you this?" I turned to Alice

"Nobody we were the ones who saw it and called 911. We thought Emmett was inside as his empty car was parked right beside the restaurant"

"Luckily he wasn't" Rosalie added

"Well if Adam was inside then surely he would have been able to put it out?" I asked

"Yes, that is what we said but if you think about it, Adam is or was a much hated vampire. He had loads of enemies mostly vampire. Someone may have done it on purpose" Emmett pointed out I looked at Rosalie and so did Alice and Emmett. She gasped and looked offended

"Don't look at me! I haven't seen him since the other night when he kicked us out of the restaurant!" She scowled

"Me either" Emmett said

"Me either" Alice said

"Me either" I lied

CARLISLE POV – FLASHBACK

He hurt her he hurt her he hurt her. That's all I could think as I stepped towards the restaurant. I was known to my family and friends as a kind person and I was most of the time but he had crossed the line. I opened the door and stepped inside. Adam was sat at one of the tables looking at a snowglobe. I slammed the door shut and he looked up.

"Well well well, I am very popular today! My third visit by one of your family!" He stood up and walked over to me

"What can I do for you?" he asked me a smug smile on his face

"I know" I whispered

"I'm sorry I don't understand" he said

"I know what you did" I said louder clenching my fists

"You know I did what? What I did last summer? That I have an unusual fear of clowns?" His face broke into a smile and I just lost it. I punched his face and he wasn't expecting it. He fell to the floor and I didn't give him a chance to get back up again unleashing all my anger. Finally I let up and stood up. He sat up but stayed on the floor reattaching his finger which I had ripped off in my attack, He cringed in pain as he put it back into his socket

"I know what you did to Esme" I told him "I know that on that night she reopened the restaurant you followed her into the back office and after an argument you got mad and attacked her, forced yourself on her"

"Is that what she told you?" he looked at me

"It's the truth. I believe her"

"Then you're a fool" He said, I stood up and pushed him against the wall snarling in his face

"Yes I was a fool! I was a fool being taken in by someone as evil and twisted as you! I was a fool letting such a heartless man who clearly has mental problems ANYWHERE near my wife and kids and I swear if you come anywhere near anyone of my family again you will seriously regret it. You won't have known pain like it and I will make you suffer the slowest most painful death! Do you understand?!" He didn't answer and slammed his head on the wall making it crack "I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" I shouted he nodded and I let him go breathing deeply. I turned around and using every bit of my self control not to kill him I walked out of the door

CARLISLE POV – PRESENT

"Well it doesn't matter if Adam is dead or not. He's a worthless pathetic spineless coward and if he is dead we'll throw a party but in the meantime let's just try to forget about him" I said trying to change the subject

"Hello everyone we're home!" We heard Esme say as she came through the door "Kitchen!" we all said. She came in the room followed by Jasper. She gasped, dropped all her bags and rushed towards Edward throwing herself at him and beginning to dry sob.

"It's ok mom, I'm here" Edward shushed hugging her back just as fiercely as she was hugging him

"It's good to have you back Edward we'll catch up soon" Jasper grinned from the doorway "Meanwhile Dad I need you" He turned to me and gestured for me to go in the front room with him. I followed him and watched as he sat down and brought half a dozen books out of a couple of bags.

"We have a problem" He told me.

"Another one?" I groaned

"Afraid so" He nodded "Remember Mrs Stanley?"

"Jessica Stanley's mother?" I asked

"Yes, well she came looking for you today. She's pregnant and she wanted you to give her a private abortion. She doesn't want the baby because it's not her husband's biological child. It's Adam's baby" he explained

"What?" I said incredulously "That's impossible Adam is a vampire! It must be someone else!"

"No, she insists it's his and I believe her. She didn't want me to know and she says that she's not had sex with her husband in six months so it must be his"

"This is unreal!" I exclaimed

"I've been at the library all day trying to research it but there is no luck. I think you should give her the abortion privately here. If this baby is Adam's then we've no idea what might happen. This could be dangerous to her and it could reveal our secret if done at the hospital" Jasper said

"Yes it's for the best" I nodded

"I'll phone her and get her to come round" Jasper said picking up his phone

"Today?" I frowned

"Better get it over and done with" He shrugged as he dialled the numbers. He spoke to her and said that he had persuaded me to agree to the abortion. She said she'd come straight over so I went into one of the bedrooms and set everything up while Jasper informed everyone of what was going on. Edward's eyes were black so they all decided to go hunting to give her some privacy. Pretty soon she was at the door.

"Hi Mrs Stanley come on in" I smiled

"Please call me Helen" She stepped through the door

"Well Helen the family are all out so we are on our own and I've set up the bedroom so if you want to…"

"Actually Carlisle I came here to tell you that I've changed my mind" She announced sitting down

"Changed your mind?" I repeated blankly "but why?"

"I'm really sorry to mess you about like this but my husband overheard me on the phone. We had a big argument and I admitted about the affair. We worked through things and decided we're going to keep the baby and he's going to bring it up as his own" She explained

"Helen, please think rationally about this" I said desperately "You're in your forties and you're having this baby on the off chance that it might save your marriage"

"Carlisle I'm sorry but I'm keeping this baby. I already have a daughter and I couldn't imagine life without her. This is a baby too. I was only going to have a termination to keep my husband from finding out about the affair. Now I have no reason to get rid of my baby. I'm sorry but I'm not changing my mind"

"Ok" I sighed "Fine. I'll see you another time then" I opened the door for her

"I'm sorry" She repeated before stepping out the door. I closed it behind her and sighed. I could only hope that this baby would be more human than vampire or else we'd all be in trouble.

THIRD POV – FLASHBACK

Well, what a day. Adam sighed sitting down he had almost every Cullen threatening to kill him today. He knew none of them would though. They didn't have the bottle. He heard the door open behind him

"We're closed!" He shouted irritated turning around. "You again" He sighed "Don't you ever get the hint?" He snarled at them. He gasped though as he saw what they had in their hand. Adam knew he was in trouble when he saw one of his enemies carrying vampire proof rope and a lighter. He struggled fruitlessly as they tied him to a chair, He watched in horror as they poured petrol all over the restaurant and all over him. The person doing that to him grinned in anticipation, walking out of the restaurant throwing a lit lighter behind them. They stood and they smiled as they heard the screams coming from inside the building growing quieter and quieter until they stopped. Finally Adam was dead and their work was done.

AN: Another big long chapter :) What did you think about it? And who do you think killed Adam? Tell me in your review
