A/N: Before the story gets really involved, I wanted you guys that are really upset with Rosalie to have a little understanding of her, and maybe you may see her in a different manner. Also some are curious as to what lead up to Tanya coming over, and finally all questions will be answered. I know Charlie's POV was to be next, I promise his chapter will next in line. I wanted to included some key components leading to Charlie's chapter first.

Chapter 10: A Change of Heart

RPOV

I had refused to help Bella and I knew that my family was furious at me, but I did not care in the least. We had spent three whole months here in Alaska, as a broken family, because of that human. Even my husband Emmett lost his shine, or you would say his silly loveable self. I felt like Bella had taken my little happiness, making me start over again.

I still remember my first years in this life. I really wished Carlisle would have just let me die, instead of dooming me to eternity as this monster I have become. I now live a life, with no future. I will never experience a real family with my own children, or even the joys of aging, and seeing my children's children.

I have learned to accept many things that have been taken from me, for once since Emmett had entered my life. Even though he could not fill all of me, he at least able to fulfilled my needs, as my true soul mate. Emmett is the light that I never had, before he entered my life. I had just begun to experience some sort of comfort to this damnation, and Bella had to come along, and now everything has changed.

Emmett has lost that light, which was my encouragement to just exist, and I don't know how to get it back shining. Not only my bear, but the entire family has lost their will to go forward. We were a family with some happiness darn it, and now she has taken it away. The feel of our eternity as the damned, has now become truly that for the first time.

We were now here back with the Denali's, and I felt like we were forced here against our will. Edward took Forks away from us, because he fell in love with a human. Tanya my friend who is a vampire, had offered herself decades ago to my selfish brother, and Edward declined her. Had he just accepted her, we would not be in the situation we are now. I truly blame him, for our unhappiness, but most of all I blame her for coming into his life in the first place.

I thought that she was finally out of our lives, and now I find out that she is pregnant, and once again, has become the center of my family's attention. Bella gets everything from this world, without even giving up herself as a human. She has now become my mockery of what I should have, and have had taken from me. I can't forgive her, and I won't.

FLASHBACK

I knew that Edward had to get over her and I talked to Tanya, and she still harvest her feelings to be his mate. I agreed that she could try again, and prayed that maybe she would be that difference that the family desperately needed. Tanya said that she would take it slow, because she knew that Bella had meant a lot to our family , and she had witnessed first hand the impact of her absence, when came for a visit.

Tanya like me noticed that we were just a shell of what we had been, and thought she could help us, as well as help herself in the process. I agreed that anything was better than nothing. I told Tanya that as soon as Edward was back I would call her and let her know. The morning he showed up I called her like promised.

"Tanya Edward has arrive back home", I said into my cell phone.

"It all of the Cullens at home?"

" I am not sure, but I do think that some of them are out hunting right now, why?"

"No reason, I just wanted some private time with him, without all ears", Tanya laughed at this, and I wondered what she had planned.

"Tanya you are coming to talk to my brother right, because he is not up for anything else right now, he will need time", I was selfish for myself to have Emmett back, but not so much selfish not to care for my brother's well being.

"Oh course not Rosalie, you know me, I only want to give Edward what he deserves right now. I plan on taking it slow and hopefully he will accept me as he did this Bella".

"Well that is the plan to replace Bella, but you have a challenge ahead for you". I said sighing.

"Just leave everything to me Rosalie, and you shall have your Emmett bear back to normal in no time at all. I need to shower and get ready, but I shall see you shortly". Tanya hung up, after that.

Shortly after an hour I heard a knock and knew Tanya was here, and I let her in. I took a look at her attire, and offered to take her jacket, but she declined. I thought it was strange that she wanted to keep her jacket on. I concluded that she would not be here long, and there was no need to take it off, because of such. I showed her to his room and left.

I needed to hunt and I was not going far so I left, thinking I probably will be back before Edward and Tanya was finish talking. I looked at his door and hope that she could do some good for the sake of our family. I walked down the staircase and out the front door to hunt.

When I returned I noticed that Alice was furious about something, and then all hell broke out. Tanya was being handled by Alice, and this was not normal behavior of her at all. Alice even had time to yell at me in the process, blaming me for her actions, what they were. I was shocked, for not knowing what happened, but quickly became angry when I heard that she had hurt Edward. Everything went so quickly, and than next I was being yelled at by the family. I looked to Tanya still standing against the wall, like she has committed a crime, and realized that I allowed this to happen.

I ran out the door, and Emmett came after me. I ran for miles before he caught up with me.

"Rosalie how could do this?" Emmett stood several feet away with his hands folded across his chest.

"I I I didn't mean for any of this to happen. Emmett I missed you and the family, I was trying to get us back", I fell to my knees and dry sobbed. Emmett stepped closer and knelled in front of me.

"Baby, this was not the way to go, you knew how Edward felt about Tanya, and why would you try to go against his will?" Emmett started to look at me in confusion trying to understand.

"Emmett I lost you, I lost what we had because you lost your brother. I am your wife, and I needed my husband back. I thought Tanya could bring back the family's happiness if Edward were to settle and be happy again". I sobbed some more. Emmett slowly embraced me.

"Rosalie I love you, and I did not know that I was causing you this much pain. I know things have not been easy, but I promise we will get back, and be happier than we have ever been. Baby, you have to understand that Edward is my brother too, and he is hurting, and it is hard not feel what he feels .If you don't have family to back you, than you have nothing. Edward needs us now, but you have me for eternity". Emmett kissed me with love that I haven't felt in three months.

"Now let's get back to the house. Sooner is better than later, when facing the family about this. I know you had the best intensions, but they need to know as well". We walked hand and hand back to the house, just enjoying ourselves again.

"When did you become the wise one", I said looking at his glorious grin.

"I have always been that, I just can't go all father of wisdom on everyone, what will they think of me, when I go back to normal? I would have set a high standard and disappointed them in the process, when I did not want to live up to it". That was my Emmett and I love every bit of him, wisdom or not.

Back to the present

I watched my family leave once again for the sake of that human; Bella. I was hurt that they felt she was more important, but I was not going to budge on how I felt about her being back in our lives again. I decide to go and see Tanya to voice my view on her actions to my brother, That at least was what I did not agree for happening.

I pulled up to Tanya's home, and knocked at the door. I was greeted by her sister Kate, and I got right to the point of the matter.

"I need to speak with Tanya now. I am sorry for my tone but, I am not happy with her." I said as I was let into their home.

"The family knows of what Tanya has done and we are sorry for her actions. Carlisle has informed us that it would be best that she not come around your family until they see fit to welcome her again. I assure you Rosalie, she is taking this hard as well", Kate said shaking her head.

"Kate not to sound mean or anything, this is not about my family and her; it is about me and her. I don't feel that she has suffered enough, nor do I feel she has any remorse at all in the process", I began to raise my voice and I was sure that the rest of the family could hear me.

"Honestly Rosalie it may not be best to see her in your state", It was obvious that Kate was going into protective mood for her sister, as was I, for Edward. This, the main reason I was there.

"And honestly I don't care what you think my state is", Just as Kate was about to argue, Tanya came down the stairs and placed a hand on Kate's shoulder.

"It is alright sister; she is just being as protective for Edward, as you are for me. I do not fault her, after all I started this". Kate looked at Tanya with worry, but nodded and walked away.

"Now Rosalie before you began, let's take this outside, shall we". Tanya led the way several yards from the home. I was not there to fight her, but she needed to hear me out. We reached our destination and Tanya turned to face me.

"Well, say what you have to say Rosalie", I could not believe that she was acting like nothing had happened.

"You don't even care do you?"

"For what Rosalie, for showing Edward what I truly wanted from him. I still want to feel him inside of me, but I am a shame of how I was going about it of course".

"You are one heartless winch".

"Well Rosalie believe me, you would know yourself", I looked at her, like what the???

"What are you talking about Tanya? I trusted you as a friend and you go and hurt my family even more, and you have nothing to say to that effect", I wanted to just rip her thought out right then and there. Tanya just stood there with a smug smile on her face. How could I have been friends with her all these years, and not know her to be this cold.

"Rosalie, Rosalie, you my friend, have a lot to learn and be sorry for yourself. You can't come and judge me for my actions, when your actions are far worse than mine", I looked puzzled at her again, and why was she talking in circles?

"What! Honestly Tanya, I was not trying to rape your family member and, I never agreed to you hurting him at all. You know this".

"Maybe not, but I have my ways, and you, yours. Rosalie you have been hurting him for a while now, and even though I am not happy that I did not get what I came for. I learned something that you should have known, before you talked to me." Tanya stepped closer to me placing her hand on my shoulder, but I pushed it away.

"Just spit it out, I am not a mind reader like Edward, nor do I like your mind games".

"Rosalie can you honestly be that blind? Edward is in love, and not just any love. I have never seen a bond so strong, even among vampire mates. You are so clouded by your own selfishness, that you forgot what it was like to love". I looked at her not truly understanding why this had to do with me.

"What has that got to do with this?"

"Rosalie, you yourself, could have been a comfort to Edward, in this situation with the human but, yet you choose not to be. Did you yourself fall in love with a human, before he was changed? You know first hand that love is a tricky thing and sometimes we have no control over who we love."

"Rose I have heard you for almost five years now detest this Bella, and I never knew what it was she had done to you. The only thing she gave was happiness to both your brother and to the rest of the Cullen's. We Denali's have watched the change in you all, and known for a fact, that she was the cause. I just did not know how strong at that time".

"The day I came over, I had truly made up my mind although I was wrong, that Edward would be mine, at any cost. Just as I was about to claim my victory, I will never forget the look I saw. He had given up, and was not going to fight me anymore. I could not understand why. Then I heard him say "I love you Bella". She was still part of his world even though, I was about to take it." Tanya bowed her head.

"Rosalie, I knew at that moment that Edward was meant for this human, and no one else. You have not accepted Bella and Edward had always been there for you, and even helped to train your mate, after his transformation. Did he even complain when you choose Emmett, while still human?" I was speechless, and stood there like stone.

"That was different, Emmett was dying", I whispered

"NO, it was the same thing; you were in love, different scenario, but still in love with a human".

"I know your family will be mad at me for a while, but you are their family, and you can bring him some peace, by just accepting what you can not change".

"Bella has everything which I desire. How can I accept her past my feelings?'I looked at Tanya now ashamed.

"That's the problem Rosalie, it is not about you! I learned this well. Do you think she has had it easy, look at the attack from James. All this, Bella did to be accepted as part of your family. I am beginning to see why he chooses her myself. So if you came to lay the blame, don't, you knew about their love first, without warning me of what I was stepping into. You were trying to make him forget his reason for existing, now who has no remorse? Honestly, I think we are even." Tanya turned and walked away leaving me to my thoughts.

EPOV

I had found my life, and was bringing her home at last. The holes in my chest had been mended the moment I held her. We were approaching our home in Alaska, when I slowed and began to walk at a human pace to the front door. I knew that Rosalie was going to be difficult, and I knew I had to do something about her before she caused anymore pain to my Bella.

Carlisle and I stepped inside the door, with me holding Bella who was now sleeping in my arms. The family was excited that Bella was once again among us, and I could see and hear the joy coming from everyone. I looked around and did not notice Rosalie, nor did I hear her. This probably was a good thing.

"Edward we need to get her cleaned up and get her warmed. I am concerned of her body temperature, being out in the cold for so long", Carlisle spoke out loud to me.

"I can take care of her Edward and give her a bath".

"That is not necessary Alice. I will take care of my Bella." Alice shook her head but I could see the longing in her eyes as well, to be with Bella.

"Edward as soon as you are done, I will need to talk to Bella and I do need to examine her, to make sure she is in good health son", I nodded and went up the stairs

'Edward she needs you right now, so please do not blame yourself son right now' Carlisle thought to me.

I laid Bella on the bed, and quickly ran into the bathroom to run the tub full of warm water. I approached the bed resting my eyes on Bella's still body. She was covered in blood, and dirt stained clothing, and her hair was filled with the same sticking up in clumps. Bella's face was paler than I remember, but she still had those same full pink lips, that I loved.

I love her more than anything, I could have ever imagined in my life. I slowly started to remove her clothing and she began to move. I leaned down to press my lips to hers, and she opened her eyes.

"Edward ", She looked surprised.

"I am here love".

"I thought I was dreaming, where am I?"

"You are home. Bella we can talk later, but for now, I need to get you into the tub. Your body needs to be warmed. You had been in the cold a while before we found you". Bella looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes, and did not contest as I removed her clothing in its entirety.

After I had removed her clothing, I placed my hand on her formed belly, Bella blushed.

"Don't be ashamed Bella, you are beautiful to me, and I hope to see you this way for the rest of my existence, if you allow me."

"I am not ashamed of my body Edward, it is yours. What I ashamed of, is my current state. I am a mess". I leaned in and kissed her once more. It did not matter to me how messy she was, the fact that she was here was enough. I lifted her and walked her to the bath that awaited her.

I slowly lowered her in, and began to sponge her off in the soapy water.

"Are you getting in?"

"No not this time, I will cause the water to cool to fast and we need to warm you up. I will join you another time", I smile at her, and she smiled back. I continued to wash her thoroughly, making sure she had no bruises, and was not hurt in any way. I moved to her hair.

"Bella I need you to tilt back your hair so I can wash it love", she did as I asked. I gently wash and conditioned her, then rinsed. Bella moaned as I washed her and smiled every time our eyes locked on each other. She was still in love with me, regardless of what I had done to her.

"Bella can I ask you a question love?" Bella turned to face me. Ah, she was so beautiful with her wet hair hung down her back.

"Yes, anything Edward" she looked a little nervous saying this, and I knew she was, because she began to bit her lower lip.

"Why are not in forks?"

"Edward, I crave blood, and I wanted it from Charlie. I had to leave". I had a look of horror, and pain came to me. Had she wanted to harm Charlie, but why? I did not want to ask too much right now. I knew she needed her rest. I did have one more question that was plaguing me, since the talk with Alice and I.

"Bella when we found you, you said you heard me, how was that?"

"I was laying on the forest floor and I was wishing to hear your voice, I needed you. Suddenly when I started to give up hope, I heard you say "Hold on, I am coming" This gave me hope, and gave me the strength to get up and walk". I looked at her in astonishment; she actually heard my thoughts, though I was over 1000 miles away. I would have to mention this to Carlisle.

I finished her bath and lifted her from the tub to dry her off. I ran the towel over her back taking in the scenery as I went and cherishing it. Her back side was flawless and her curves were to be desired. I continued to her front and started with her arms and worked my way down.

I looked at her breast and noticed the fullness that they had prior to our last encounter. Bella knew I was looking as well, but did not seem to mind me marveling her beauty at all. I ran my hands over her breast and cuffing them, and pinching her nipples. Bella moaned and I growled in response. 'Get control Edward not the time for this' My mind was screaming at me to stop.

I continued down with my towel to her stomach. I was amazed of how round she was. Bella looked as if she were already 5 months, though it had only been 3 months since conception. I was in awe. No one could even fathom my happiness at this time. I rubbed her belly tenderly looking up to meet Bella's eyes.

Bella had begun to cry, and looked at me so intensely that it showed her love for me. I became breathless, she had dazzled me. We were going to be parents, although I was still worried about my children's state. I held my hand there longer, and suddenly I felt a flutter under my hand, and heard Bella gasp in response.

"Bella love, are you ok?" I looked up in her eyes and even more tears were falling.

"This is the first time I felt them move. I am happy that you were here for this moment. I am happy that you are here", I wrapped my hands around her wait and pulled her to me as gently as I could, without hurting the babies, and kissed her with all my love.

I pulled away from her and smiled and I continued to finish drying her. When I was done, I lifted her to our bedroom and placed her on the bed, while I retrieved her something to wear. I noticed there were some clothes folded on my dresser, and I guessed that Alice saw she needed some.

I walked the clothes to Bella, who was now sitting up on the edge of the bed. She placed her hand to my cheek as I leaned down on my knees. I gave her another kiss, this time with a little more urgency than the last. I wrapped my hands around her waist to bring her closer to my chest.

Once again, I let her go knowing that she needed her rest.

"Here Bella put this on, or do you want me to help you?"

"Edward"

"Yes Bella"

"Make Love to me", I was taken by her words and almost took her right then, but I had to think rationally, and I knew that my needs come last.

"Bella we have plenty of time for that, please I need you to rest".

"I understand Edward, but hear me out first. I need to feel you now. I have not been complete without you these past three months. I missed your touch, your love, and your smell. I need you to complete me once more. I need you; I need to feel us as one".

Bella was speaking as if she had read what I desired and yet it was coming from her mouth. If I could cry at that moment I would have, my Bella had forgiven me in those words, and wanted to express her love to me.

"Please Edward; I want to while I am still able. Please". I looked into her eyes and saw true love, and I leaned in and took my Bella, and began to make love to her, with a dire need.

JPOV

I knew what was going on upstairs. I had never felt so much emotion pour off of two people in this manner. I was surprised that they could love each other as much as they did. Now don't get me wrong, Alice and I can hold our own, but Edward and Bella had something more, something that could not be put into words alone.

Alice had come to my side while I was laying on the couch. I knew she wanted her time with Bella, shoot we all did, but we all understood that Edward needed his time first. Everyone had gone to their own activities, so I decided to catch up with the news. We had been monitoring the outcome of Seattle and Forks for their mysterious attacks.

We all knew what was responsible for the attacks, but had not figured out why they were doing so. This type of attention could bring forth the Volturi. The Volturi were our own type of royalty and police enforcing family. They made sure that our kind were, and are never exposed to the human world. Anything that threatens this way of living is destroyed, and that is a very important rule to follow

We knew that we were no were close these areas, but we could not rule out that our presence in Forks could be discovered if they were to truly come. Also the fact that Edward was in love with a human who knew our secret and now is having his children. Vampires can't have kids. That is what we all have believed, since it has never happened before in my history of being a vampire or any others. We are positive that this would strike an unwanted interest if they were to find out.

I turned the TV on and flipped through the channels till I found CNN. The news was still the same on the attacks in Seattle, and that there had been no more in the last month. It was kind of a relief to an extent that this may be over. As I was about to change the channel to something else, I saw a news flash across the screen and it grabbed Alice and my attention.

""Look Alice do you see what I see, we need to tell Carlisle"

"We have to keep this from Edward and Bella for now, until we can find out more", I agreed with my wife. The news going across the screen: Forks Police Chief Charlie Swan Missing. Police have found signs of a struggle, but have yet to find a body.

A/N: Well this is the end of another chapter. I hope you guys got to understand Rosalie a little better, and who knows how she will be once she sees Edward and Bella together again. As for Charlie Hmmm, I wonder what has happen??? You'll not have to wait long. I should have something to you guys by Thursday the latest. As always tell me what you think, also I have a poll for Bella's babies on my profile, please go and vote.
