Thanks to all the people who reviewed, favourited and alerted my story! It means a lot =]

I woke up the next morning at 10.15. I felt well rested as I rolled out of Alice and Jasper's massive bed and was so excited for the day that I sped downstairs, but not before running head first into Emmet which was like running into a brick wall.

"Ow!" I exclaimed and he boomed with laughter as I rubbed my forehead, hopping up and down in pain. "Sorry Emmet" I muttered.

"You're just like your mother" he said, shaking his head "Such a klutz". I smiled and he stepped out of my way letting me pass, still chuckling. I decided not to run to save myself from further injury and walked the rest of the way instead. When I reached the stairs I was greeted by the delicious smell of bacon and sausages. My stomach rumbled appreciatively as I descended the huge staircase.

I followed the delicious smell and found the huge kitchen. Alice was sitting at the table with Jasper and Esme was hovering over the stove. Whatever she was cooking was making my mouth water.

"Morning" I yawned, taking a seat at the table. Alice grinned at me, her brilliant white teeth sparkling, and Jasper winked before returning his gaze to his wife.

"Here you are dear" said Esme, sitting a large plate of food in front of me. "I didn't know what you liked so I just bought a bit of everything when I went shopping this morning" And she wasn't joking. There were eggs, pancakes, pop tarts, French toast, bacon and sausages.

"Oh, Esme – Nana, you didn't have to go to all this trouble! I could have eaten the left over pizza from last night! Honestly this is too much" she shook her head and held up a hand, signalling for me to stop talking, then handed me a fork. I smiled and I took it without hesitation, tucking in. Everything was so delicious. Esme sat a pot of tea in front of me, alongside some orange juice and a cup of coffee. I drained the orange juice and ate everything on the plate, I hadn't realised how hungry I was until I took the first bite. When I finished I was about to pick up the dishes to go wash them when I saw that they had disappeared from the table. I blinked and looked around to see Esme already cleaning them.

"Esme, you don't have to- "I began but she just shook her head again and continued cleaning. I guess she liked spoiling me. I sat back down and looked at Alice who had her eyes closed, searching the future, yet again. I waited for her to open them and give me the latest update but she didn't. I felt myself grow anxious and I guessed it was Jasper's doing because he was looking at Alice with concern etched clearly on his movie-star face.

"Alice?" asked Jasper, sounding more than a little panicked. "Alice, what is it? What do you see? What's going to happen?" She opened her eyes, but they were still unfocused, her real attention elsewhere.

"I was just searching the future, not looking for anything in particular, and then it all disappeared! I can't see any of our futures anymore. So I searched Charlie's but his is still there. Wait, ours are back again – no gone! I don't understand!" she exclaimed. Jasper placed a hand on hers and she took a deep breath, looking noticeably calmer then before.

"Carlisle" he said, no louder then he would have had Carlisle been standing next to him but then half a second later, he was. Jasper explained what had happened because Alice had her eyes closed again, a frustrated look on her face. Carlisle remained silent the whole time and when Jasper had finished he nodded and placed a hand on Alice's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Alice; I don't know why this has happened, I mean, it has never happened before. But the only thing I can say is that if our future keeps coming and going, is that someone is indecisive about coming to see us. Perhaps, maybe, it could be Edward?" My heart dropped and I felt myself pale.

"No, no, no. He said he was coming when I spoke with him yesterday. He will be here at half four, precisely. I already saw that and plus his future is still there and he will be here. He just stopped to hunt." I looked at the clock and felt my stomach flip when I saw it was 11.30 already, only 5 more hours to go! "Anyway, Carly, don't worry about me! You go and get ready! We have a lot to do like go over the game plan for when he arrives. I left a towel and some toiletries in the bathroom beside my room." ordered Alice, pointing to the door. I nodded and stood up, my knees were shaky from nerves and worry. Who was coming? Were we going to die? I felt myself calm slightly as Jasper sent waves of calm around the room but as soon as I reached to stairs the angst crept back up on me again.

I managed to make it to the bathroom and hopped into the shower. The hot water calmed me down and when I got out I was able to walk steadily to the bedroom. I found my stuff in the corner and dressed in black skinny jeans and a white top with a black belt around it. I put on matching converse and grabbed my only handbag. In it I put my iPod, the diary, the letter and my hairbrush. I was about to put in my phone when I saw, '6 messages from Jacob' on the screen. Six? I opened it up and read through the texts.

Morning Carly, still alive then? I hope you are, because it would really suck if you weren't... Jacob Xx

Guess you're not up yet, text me when you are. I miss you. Xx

Are you ignoring me? ;) I hope everything is okay... Text me in a while. Jacob Xx

Getting worried, give me a text please. Xxx

Carly? Can you text me please? Let me know you're okay. I love you. Jacob. Xx

If I don't hear from you soon, I'm coming over. Jacob Xxx

"Shit" I whispered. That last text was received half an hour ago. He must be on his way! I ran down the stairs and sure enough there he was. Tall, dark and handsome, and looking very out of place amongst all of the pale and beautiful vampires. He was pinching his nose, as if there was a bad smell and when I looked around I noticed that Rosalie was doing the same thing.

"Hey Jake" I said, waving at him and walking shyly to his side. "Everyone this is Jacob Black, my, er, friend" I introduced, pointing to him. They all nodded except for Rosalie who just glared at Jacob. I noticed that Emmet had placed a restraining hand on her wrist. "Er, let's – go outside, shall we?" I asked Jacob. He nodded and strode out the open door. I gave the Cullens an apologetic look and followed him out the door. He was leaning against a tree near the garage when I walked out. I walked over to him and he raised his eyebrows.

"Sorry" I mumbled, looking down. "I didn't mean to worry you. I just forgot to look at my phone. You're not mad, are you?" He put a finger under my chin and lifted my face up, so I was staring into his warm eyes.

"It's okay, beautiful, and no I'm not mad at you." He smiled, "But the whole imprinting thing does tend to make you worry. I know I overreacted a little bit but I'm just happy you're safe." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. He kissed the top of my head and I felt butterflies in my stomach, different to the ones I felt earlier, these were warm and fuzzy. I wrapped my arms around his waist (well, as far as they would go) and hugged him tight. We stood there, hugging, for I don't know how long but then Alice's voice called me back to reality.

"Carly! We only have 2 hours left! We need to plan!" she called from the house. Jacob let me go but I grabbed his large hand and towed him with me up to the house. They were all sitting around the table in the dining room when I we came in. There were three seats vacant and Jacob and I took two of them. He wrinkled his nose and I raised my eyebrows at him, getting annoyed that everybody kept acting like there was a bad smell. Was I missing something?

"Vampire's smell bad" he whispered, grinning. I inhaled deeply but I couldn't smell anything bad, all I could smell was Jacob's forest-like smell.

"Yeah, well dogsreek, mongrel" spat Rosalie, glaring at Jacob. Carlisle hushed the table and all eyes fell upon him. He was sitting at the head of the table with Esme on his right and an empty chair on his left. I didn't need to ask to know who that belonged to.

"Right, Edward will be here in just under 2 hours. Carly, Alice tells me you wish to speak to him alone and tell him yourself that you are his daughter with no intervention from us, correct?" I nodded and he continued. "Well then the rest of us must be thinking of something else the whole time so Edward doesn't read it from our minds. Carly, we don't know if he will be able to read your mind so you will have to be very careful with your thoughts around him."

"Why couldn't he read my mom's thoughts?" I asked. Carlisle shrugged his shoulders, looking a little frustrated.

"We're not sure. Edward used to call it a glitch in her brain." said Jasper and Emmet boomed with laughter.

"I'd forgotten that!" he laughed. Jacob growled and I rubbed his hand soothingly. Rosalie shot daggers at him but he just grinned at her. I had to work hard to stifle a giggle at her expression.

"Alice? Can you see anything yet?" I asked, and she shook her head.

"No, nothing. I think it's something to do with Jacob. He decided to come here and then the future disappeared." Rosalie glared even more pointedly at Jacob when Alice said this. I looked up at Jacob and he was looking at me.

"I think I should go" he said. I nodded but didn't like the idea of him leaving; it made me less nervous when he was around. It provided me with a distraction. He stood up and I followed suit, walking him to the front door. When we got to the door he turned around and hugged me close to him. I could never get used to the feel of his hot skin. He was wearing his shirt open and I feel the planes of his muscular chest as he hugged me.

I leaned back and he looked down into my eyes. Very slowly he lowered his face until it was less then an inch away from mine. I could feel his warm breath on my face and it made me knees go weak, it was a good thing he was still holding me otherwise I would have collapsed on the ground. He hesitated, seeing if it was alright to proceed but I closed the distance between our mouths without hesitation.

His lips were soft and gentle against mine as they moved in synchronisation. I'd been kissed before but it was nothing compared to this. This just felt so right, like it was meant to be. His hands were on my waist and mine on his neck. I would have gladly stayed like that forever, never moving, never stopping.

I heard a throat being cleared behind me and I pulled away to see Emmet standing, arms folded, a little way away. He had a serious expression on his face, feigning authority, but it was easy to tell he was fighting a grin. I stuck my tongue out at him and turned around to kiss Jacob again. Emmet cleared his throat again, louder this time, and I sighed. Jacob let go of me and whispered 'I love you' before running out the door.

I sighed again, watching him leave, I missed him already, and then turned around to face Emmet who had his eyebrows raised in disapproval.

"Tut, tut Carly! As your uncle I have to say I do not like seeing you kissing werewolves in public! It isn't very ladylike!" he scolded, fighting a grin again - and losing.

"Excuse me, I am very ladylike! And if you didn't want to see me kissing him then you shouldn't have been looking! Also, this isn't public, it was an empty room until you arrived!" I responded, sticking my tongue out at him again. Alice came dancing into the room then, smiling. "Vision back then?" I asked her. She nodded, stopping beside me.

"Nice outfit!" she commented, looking me up and down "You seem to have better taste in clothes then your mother did!" she said and then sniffed. I hugged her but she pulled away. "Sorry, but you stink of dog!" she said and Emmet erupted in laughter, doubling over and clutching his stomach.

"Oh" I said, sniffing my arm, it smelt fine to me. "Will I go have another shower then?" Alice nodded and laughed. I ran up the stairs and jumped into the shower. I scrubbed myself with soap and shower gel then hopped out. I dressed myself in the same outfit and sprayed myself all over with body spray. Coughing from the dizzying cloud of perfume I walked out of the bathroom and into Alice and Jasper's room. Alice was sitting on the bed and sniffed the air when I walked in.

"Perfect, though I prefer your natural scent. It's much zestier!" she smiled and then looked at her watch, "Oh my word! Only 20 minutes to go! Are you nervous?"

"Extremely" I said, sitting next to her, massaging my stomach, seriously regretting eating so much for breakfast. "Will he know who I am because of my eyes though?" I asked her.

"Hmm, I don't know, I didn't think of that!" She closed her eyes and then frowned. She opened her eyes and darted to the chest of drawers in the corner. She threw me over a pair of sunglasses and I put them on.

"Nope, as long as you keep those on he'll be clueless! " she said, sitting next to me. "Okay well I'm going to go and distract myself so I don't think about you! Good luck!" she said. She gave me a big hug, kissed my cheek and danced out of the room. I stood up and walked shakily to the living room.

Carlisle was there with Esme beside him. They both smiled warmly when I walked down.

"Okay Carly. So Rosalie and Emmet are going to go hunting, Alice is designing you a new wardrobe, Esme will be cleaning upstairs and I will be reading. Jasper will be in the next room playing on the computer in case he needs to fix up the emotions. Is that okay with you?" informed Carlisle and I nodded, a little dizzy. Everything was happening so fast! He stood up and walked upstairs. Esme walked over to me and touched my cheek.

"Thank you for bringing my son home" she whispered and then followed her husband upstairs. I stared after her for a minute then glanced at the clock. 5 minutes. I stood up and paced around the room for a few minutes. I made sure I had everything. My bag was there, with the letter and I was wearing my sunglasses. I nodded and looked at the clock again. 3 minutes. My heart started to beat really fast and I focused my thoughts on not thinking about whom I was or why I was here. I absentmindedly walked over to the piano and sat down. I placed my fingers on the keys and played the first thing that came into my mind, Long Night – Star Salzman. I was just playing the first few notes when I heard footsteps on the gravel. I stopped playing. This was it. I decided to test whether he could read my thoughts first of all. I thought 'my name is Carly Lewis'. Just after I finished thinking that I heard the door open.

"Who are you?" his voice was like velvet, just like my mother said. 'Carly Lewis' I thought. "Hello?" he said and I smiled. He couldn't hear my thoughts. My heart was beating loudly as I slowly turned around to face him.

"I- I'm Carly" I stuttered when I saw his face. His eyes were gold, just like they had been in the picture. He looked the exact same except now he looked... older and a little tired. I stood up and walked over to him, stopping a few feet away.

"Edward" he replied, "Why aren't my family down here? Are they okay?" he asked, staring at me with wonder and confusion. I guess he was trying to figure out why he couldn't hear my mind. I nodded quickly, then looked down, fidgeting with my fingers.

"They wanted to let me talk to you. It's kind of important. I have some - news for you" I said, glancing up at him from my hands. He looked confused for a minute then walked over to the couch, sitting down.

"What is it?" he asked, kind of rudely. I followed him and sat down opposite him on the other couch.

"I don't know where to begin. But I know you're a vampire for starters." I admitted. He smiled weakly, but it did not reach his eyes.

"Okay, well then how about the beginning?" he said. I didn't say anything, still lost for words on how to begin. "Like who are you?" He prompted. Ahh… I thought, now here's the tricky bit.

"Do you remember Bella Swan?" I asked him, looking into his golden eyes. He looked momentarily shocked and an emotion that looked like hurt flashed across his golden eyes. He nodded sharply, now looking confused and slightly angry. "Well… I'm... I'm her daughter." I said and his eyes widened. He didn't say anything at first, just looked at me as if he was trying to figure something out by looking at me, he probably wondering why I was wearing sunglasses in the house.

"Daughter? Wow. Well that's... unexpected... is that is why I can't hear your thoughts?" he asked and I nodded, waiting for his reaction. "How is she? How is Bella?" he continued and I gulped. Tears started flowing from my eyes before I could to anything to stop them. I took a deep breath, bracing myself for whatever reaction he was going to have, and said just one word:

"Dead"
