"It is a travesty when two hearts, at different intervals in life, find each other. And although they would otherwise be perfect for each other, they can't be together for the timing isn't right."

Esme took us all to the hospital today to see my mom, I expected her to look different to look like she was dying. She didn't look different, sure a little more pale and fragile than normal but not like she was knocking on deaths door.

I was staying with my mom for the day while my dad went back home to straighten out some stuff and Esme took Edward and Rose to meet Carlisle. I wasn't sure what to say or how to act, I wanted to sit here and cry because it wasn't fair, I wanted to pray to whoever would listen that my mom was a good woman and deserved to live.

I am not sure how long I had been sitting there when there was a knock at the door. I figured it was a nurse coming to check on my mom when I looked up I saw Joe standing there with an arm full of Carnations. He put them down on the table next to my mom, pulled up the chair and sat down beside her.

"I know that I am the last person that you want here, but Renee called and told me about...well about her. I told her I would come and visit, even offered to give you a ride if you wanted."

Leave it to my mom to wake up before I was even able to respond, she looks at me first with a sad smile on her face when she sees the flowers Joe has brought her, and I can see her face light up. She has always been a sucker for flowers.

"My sweet boy the flowers are beautiful! Bella aren't the flowers beautiful? A true gentleman: through and through this guy here."

The smile that was on my mom's face was so big and so bright I couldn't bring myself to upset her "Yea mom they are really beautiful." I looked up and gave them both a smile at this point I wouldn't do anything to add to her stress, everything I did from here on out would be for her. I have to admit the afternoon was nice; Joe stayed for about two hours, left and came back with lunch for all of us, the little things like this make me remember what I saw in him to begin with.

As the afternoon went on Joe said his goodbyes and it was just mom and I. Edwards had texted earlier on saying that they really liked Carlisle and he was also not very happy when I told him that Joe was here. Edward has nothing to worry about I am in love with him; and even if they have to move we will make it work. Maybe I can go to college there or he can come back either way he was my future.

When it was finally time to say good night I left with a list of items that my mom wanted ready for her when she got home; we never discussed the fact that she was dying, but if you could read between the lines you would know what was being said. Mom wanted journals and a tape recorder, she wanted to have a photographer come out and do family pictures something that she had been putting off for far too long. I know that going forward dad and I would do anything that she wanted, it was the least that we could do, after all no matter the disagreements or arguments no one will ever love me as deeply and limitless as my mom.

Time went by faster than I thought it could; by the end of the week my mom was home, and while the doctors had said she only had two weeks to live, they did make sure to tell us that nothing is written in stone. I was determined to make as many memories with her with the time that I have, and if I am being honest I was still hoping that this was a nightmare I would wake up from sooner rather than later. Edward and I have spoken several times over this past week, he was amazing. He gave me the time I needed to devote to my mom and also made sure I knew that I was not alone and that he loved me. I have tried to talk to him several times about the situation with his mom and Carlisle, but he just keeps telling me that it is something that we will talk about later; I am worried about what he is not telling me.

Carlisle is a good guy, and he is good for my mom as much as I hate to admit it, she lights up in his presence in a way I don't even think I saw with my dad. She is in love with him; I am still trying to get over the fact that she hid it from us for so long, she said that I would understand one day. My mom has decided that she wants to move to be with Carlisle. She sat down with Rose and me last night and discussed everything at length. Rose asked if we could stay behind with Bella's family to finish the school year, unfortunately as much as I would have been happy to stay I knew that with everything going on with Renee us staying was an automatic no, and I wasn't wrong. We were moving in one month.

I still hadn't told Bella what was going on, she had enough going on with Renee to have to deal with this too, so much was changing for her as well; she decided to finish the year with a homeschool program so that she could dedicate all of her time to her mom's care. As the days turned into a week I knew that I needed to tell her, we needed to work out a plan for us. Mom told me that she was going to be giving me her car, as Carlisle was planning to buy her a new one once we made the move. I think that was her way of trying to make this situation a little easier on all of us involved. We had agreed that we would not sell so that either Rose or I could have a place to live should we decide to come back here for school. My plan was to make the move for now and when I turn 18 in a few months come back, until then I would drive back on Friday nights and go back on Sundays, I was determined to make my relationship with Bella work.

A week had passed and now, I had three weeks left, I had made arrangements with Rose to go help Charlie tonight with Renee so that I could take Bella out for dinner, we needed to talk. We showed up at Bella's just in time to see Charlie leaving the house and Bella in tears, my heart sank knowing that tonight was probably not going to happen. What I was not prepared for was seeing Joe come out after Bella, lean down to whisper in her ear and then walk right past me as if I didn't exist; now I was pissed…I wanted to know what the hell he was doing here with MY girl!

Charlie POV

I love my wife; more than I ever thought I could love another human being, I would give my life for hers, I would do anything to take her place. I had dreams of us growing old together, watching our daughter grow into a beautiful amazing woman, watching our grandchildren play in the yard and finally when the time had come we would fall asleep in each other's arms and sleep for eternity. The plan had always been for us to go together or for me to go first, not to lose her never to lose her, I am trying to do anything and everything that I can to make her final days, weeks, months everything that she wants. Renee wants to see Bella finish school, so Bella is doing extra courses so that she can graduate as soon as she can ok that is fine, but this last request is ridiculous! I didn't realize the pain medication would have this effect on my wife, or maybe the cancer spread to her brain; but for her to tell Bella she wants to see her get married to Joe before she dies is too much. The sad thing is that while I could see my daughters' heart breaking, because that is not the man she loves or wants, I can see the determination to do as her mom asks and that is when I've had enough and walk out.

I would like to thank those that take the time out of their day to read this story and for taking a chance on me. I feel that with the lack of response it may have something to do with my chapter sizes, so with that I am going to see how it goes by posting once a week on Fridays only. I am hoping that I will be able to combine all five days of writing into something wonderful for you all. See you next Friday.
