A/N: Previously; I looked around the room quickly, saving the best for last, mostly because I knew that my father's face would be the most difficult to look at right now. I hope you enjoyed the last chapter... I'm sorry about the cliffy... hope you weren't too distressed... ;) anyway Enjoy

Disclaimer: I do not own this. Kaity and Dan are mine and so are Louise, Sophie, Connor, Melanie. But all the rest belongs to Steph Meyer.


Edward met my gaze and he looked at me intently, it was as if he could see right through me… his expression was frustrated as he held my gaze. It scared me a little, but I was trapped, I couldn't look away until he suddenly looked at the Blonde haired man who I assumed was my Grand father. They were all so young it was hard to tell. Wait a minute… why are they all so young? My father looked the same as he did in my mom's scrapbook. He hadn't aged a day in over 17 years. That's when I thought of Jacob again. He looked the same too, but it didn't make any sense. How could they all just not age?

"Are you ok?" Alice whispered to me. I couldn't answer at first. I was having some sort of epiphany. The visions. The lack of aging. The way I ran home so quickly this afternoon. The way I fell two stories without a scratch. It was all linked. I felt the shock on my face as I tried to search for a reason for all these weird unexplainable occurrences.

I felt Alice shake my shoulders. "Kaity? Can you hear me?" she brought me back from my thoughts and helped me focus on what was happening right now. I shook my head and looked at her. "Yea, Alice I'm fine. Sorry…" she looked at me for a minute. I could tell that she didn't buy it. But she turned back to face her family, who were still watching us with wary eyes.

"Everyone this is Kaitlin Elizabeth Alice Masen…" she said boldly.

With that, the room fell completely silent and still. All I could hear was my uneasy breath, I couldn't even hear anyone else breathing. I turned to look at Alice with a scared expression on my face; she gave me a comforting smile as she gave my hand a soft squeeze.

"What?! But that's not possible!" Edward suddenly burst out. There was another silence then. I watched him ball up his hands in fists and react the same way I had seen him react in my vision, but I forced myself to not think about that.

"Will you all please stop hiding things from me? It's bad enough I can't hear her!" He screamed as I expected him too.

"That is the proof though…" Alice said quietly, almost pleading with him.

"That proves nothing Alice! It may prove that she is Bella's. But we all know that it is impossible!" Edward half screamed. The blonde man moved to his side and put an arm on his shoulder. This I had not seen coming.

But as I had seen, everyone turned their attention to me and scrutinized me, falling silent. I felt my heart accelerate as the fear set in.

"Stop it! You're scaring her!" Alice yelled.

"Alice, I think maybe it would be best if we spoke in the other room for a minute." the Blonde man said.

"Sure Carlisle, but maybe Esme should stay with her?" Alice responded, squeezing my hand again.

"Of course. Come on Kaitlin, would you like something to drink?" a beautiful brunette woman asked me. I looked at Alice for some kind of direction. She simply nodded and let go of my hand. I slowly walked over to the brunette woman as the rest of the family hurried into the other room.

Esme took my hand and led me to the kitchen where she pulled out a stool for me at the kitchen counter. I took my seat as she started opening some cupboards.

"Relax my dear, there is no reason to be afraid." She said in a soothing voice.

"Thank you." I said quietly.

"Oh please, what are grandmothers for anyway?" I felt my heart beat accelerate.

"Grand mothers? So you believe me then..?" I said self-consciously.

"Oh Honey… of course I do… look at you… you have his eyes and his expressions."

"Really? Everyone says I have Bella's eyes..."

"Oh no, Bella had dark brown eyes, your eyes are a beautiful topaz colour and they are deep, your eyes give away your emotions so much, just like Edward. Bella was easy to read that way too, but not through her eyes…"

"Really?" my voice broke a bit.

"Aww sweetie, don't worry about them. Edward never really got over Bella, he never wanted to leave, and he never really lived since, but the second he found out Bella had passed on, he hasn't been able to forgive himself. He's hurting a lot more than he lets anyone see. He'll come around though. He's just rejecting the idea because it's hurting him."

"I still can't believe you all didn't know that she…" I trailed off.

"Yes well I guess when you leave town and don't keep in touch you miss out on news like that..." she said grimly.

"But you shouldn't someone should've called you. He deserved to know. He had the right to know. Even if he didn't know that she had his child, he still loved her, he had a right to know that she was attacked by a wolf!" I found I was getting a little worked up over this. Esme handed me a glass of water. I flushed it down quickly.

"I think so too." Edward said, standing in the doorway. He looked calmer now, less frustrated, but the pain he was going through was still visible in his eyes, as Esme had pointed out.

"I also think I had the right to know that I have a daughter." He added walking towards me. I felt the tears well up in my eyes.

"I'll give you two a minute." Esme said walking past Edward, but not before giving him a cautious look.

"I'm sorry if I was rude earlier Kaity. I didn't mean to scare you."

"No, it's ok. You didn't… I was just a little nervous I guess."

"Of course, I can imagine… I'm sorry about your adoptive parents. Alice told us."

"Thanks…" I couldn't really explain it but I really wanted to jump up and give him a big hug. I found my father! But I didn't know if he would be ok with that. But I really just wanted to hug him.

Alice walked into the kitchen then- well ran really. She came straight to my side and pulled me off the stool.

"Ready for our little chat?" she was already pulling me out of the kitchen door when Edward grabbed my other hand.

"Now wait a minute Alice…" he said. Having him hold my hand made it impossible to control, the tears spilled over, running down my cheeks.

"What?" Alice asked

"I'm coming too."

"But I'm going to…" Edward interrupted Alice mid-sentence.

"I know, and I want to be a part of that. I am her father." My tears accelerated as my heart fluttered. Edward looked at me for a second, and then a small, sad smile appeared on his face.

"Fine." Alice said pulling me again, Edward let go of my hand and followed as Alice dragged me back into the bedroom we were in before.

"Ok so Kaity… you wanted to tell me about what happened with Jacob this afternoon…" Alice said sitting on the bed. I took a seat on the chair and Edward sat on the couch across from me.

"Yea well as I said, he was saying all sorts of strange things, especially about you Dad." It felt weird calling him Dad but I didn't know what else to call him. He looked at me with shock before smiling slightly.

"What exactly did Jacob Black say?" he asked me.

I cringed. "You're gonna think this is crazy…" I made a face. Alice chuckled.

"Trust me Kaity, we've heard some pretty strange stuff…" she said.

"He said that…." I sighed. "He said that you were Vampires and that he is a werewolf and that mom was attacked by another vampire- not a wolf and that I am half vampire and that mom is not dead and she has become a vampire too." I said, rushing with my words to just get it out quickly, I sighed again and waited for a response, secretly hoping that they didn't understand a word I had said. But considering both their eyes had widened with shock I was sure they heard just fine.


Dum dum dum… Ok I feel bad now. Two cliffys in a row… I promise the next chapter will end on a less anxious note. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think. How will Edward react? Will he believe that Bella is alive? Will they tell Kaity the truth? Find out in chpt 11- you know how to speed up that process ;)
