*Edward's P.O.V*

Zoey is laying on the table while Carlisle stitches up her forehead. I was still so livid, but I knew I couldn't say anything yet.

"Edward," Bella called for me, and I turned to look at my wife. She was leaning against the wall, with her long brown hair to the side as she gives me a concerned look. "Let's walk." Her hand was waiting for mine.

I took her hand as we slowly headed down the stairs, Nessie was still with Charlie, since we were on a hunting trip. That was until we received the phone call from Carson.

We walked at a human pace till we reached the cottage, Bella didn't stop she just kept walking. Not saying anything, just enjoying the calm before the storm.

"Edward," Her lips were pressed firmly together, "I know how angry you are with this situation."

I let out a small huff.

"But." She cut me off, "You can't be mad at Zoey."

I stopped, "Excuse me?"

"Edward, think about it. Remember all the times I was hurt, or put into danger because of you?" She crossed her arms, "If I would have listened to Charlie every time I almost died with you, well I wouldn't be here right now. "

I knew she was right, but it felt different. "It's just not the same."

"How is it not the same?" She raised an eyebrow.

'Because, Zoey should know better. She has damn powers to see the future, to read people's minds, to control people's emotions. Why not just use that to her advantage to keep herself out of harm's way?" I realized how dumb it sounded the moment it slipped out of my mouth.

Bella just stood there shaking her head, "Edward. Zoey is a normal teenage girl. She has emotions, she has fear, she thinks she has it figured out. She doesn't need someone to yell at her, she needs someone to lead her down the right road. It isn't easy for her, and it isn't easy for you. You've been her dad for how long? Yet still can't figure it out. It's not the end of the world she messes up, but she isn't the only one to blame."

"What are you trying to say?" I asked.

She shrugged, "Honestly. I don't think you two have had a close relationship for a while, ever since the whole Carter thing. You two have been distanced, and it is making life hard for the both of you."

I stood there, soaking in what she had to say. I knew she was right. Zoey and I haven't been close for a while, and I know I am at fault too. I know I needed to be there more for her.

"Edward, love, Zoey is a senior in high school. But have you gone to one of her cheer events? Have you asked her how her day is going? Or where she wants to go to college? Or what she even wants to major in?" Bella asked all these questions and I knew that I hadn't.

"No," I shook my head, looking down at my feet.

"You need to be here father, you are so used to everyone parenting her you lost focus. Nessie and Zoey need a father who cares, loves, yells and is there for them." Bella patted me on the shoulder as she headed back to the house, "I am going to go pick Nessie up, you go talk to our other daughter."

I smiled a little, it felt nice that Bella had accepted Zoey as her own.

I headed back to the house, just trying to line up everything I wanted to say to Zoey.

When I got up the stairs, Zoey was laying up holding an ice pack to her head.

"Hey there," I said softly, she looked up with wide eyes.

Groaning, she let out a sigh. "How much trouble am I in now?"

I shook my head, as I sat next to her. "None, I just wanted to talk."

She looked shocked, with her mouth dangling open, "Oh okay."

"So, I know that you have a lot to explain but I also know that I love you, and I am going to try to do a better job at not getting so upset with you. Every time you do something that I don't approve of." I paused, "Okay, well tell me about your senior year so far."

"Are you serious?" She laughed, "No lecture? No yelling? We are going to talk about my senior year?"

I nodded and she just stared back.

Finally, she realized how serious I was, "Okay well, I am doing great in all my classes, I mean they are sort of just a joke at this point. We aren't learning anything new, well at least I'm not. Cheerleading is so much fun, its finally a sport I can do to show off some of my athletic abilities without giving it away I am not a normal human. Homecoming is tomorrow or well tonight, I have to go because I won homecoming queen…" She trailed off.

"You won?" I was shocked, I had no idea she was even in the running, "Well what an honor to be in a presence of a queen." I joked.

She slapped my arm, "Shut up." She giggled.

"Okay what about after your senior year. What are your plans then?" I asked.

"Well, I was thinking about going to school in Tennessee, and majoring in Pre-Med. I want to become a pediatric doctor." She looked at me with her wander eyes. "I mean, I figured it runs in the family so why not?"

I didn't say anything, I never knew she wanted to do something like this with her life. It made me thrilled to see she had such a high goal for herself.

"Move to Tennessee?" I sat there and thought about it.

"Well I mean I go, you guys can stay here you don't have to follow me. I am sure Nessie will throw a fit if she has to leave Jacob." She played with her fingers, I knew she didn't mean that. Zoey couldn't live without her family, and she would miss us too much.

"I don't see the issue in us moving back, we have a house there already." I stated.

Her face lit up, "Really?"

"Yes," I stood up and leaned in to hug her. "You really think I'll let my little girl move across the country without me?"

She hugged me back, "I love you dad."

"I love you too."
