Hey guys sorry for the delay my computer crashed and wiped everything I had on this story including the next three chapters so now I'm gonna have to play it by ear cos I don't remember what was gonna happen.

Disclaimer.... you know what you know the drill I don't own it if I did my name would be Stephanie and I would be rich... but I'm not. 'wistful sigh'

Alice knows something. I know she knows something, she goes all distant and floaty and she doesn't think like she normally does. For instance right now she is trying to work out the square root of the square roots square root of pi..... in Arabic! It's giving me such a headache.

We got home a day or two after Bella's last 'message' to this Aries person. I hate that I don't know who has been hanging round my children. This woman looks about the same age as Bella, maybe a little older. Her features a certainly striking and I cant help but think that she would be pretty if she smiled but she only scowls or looks at people in contempt. The only people she shows any sign of emotion to is Bella and e.j.

I haven't seen her for a few days she is locked in the attic with Carlie and some unusual looking crystals, she only really surfaces to talk to Bella then disappears again. Bella says that it wont be long now but she has been saying that for nearly a week.

Ah Bella, she is so beautiful. I love her so much that my heart could start beating again. It hurts to look at her after what I have done. How can I not have believed her, how can I have treated her so badly. I wish she would give me a chance to show her how much I adore her. I have daydreams about all the ways I would ravish her and then. . . . . I cant think like that dammit. It only hurts more not to mention she can hear my thoughts now, I hope she didn't hear.

Bella pov

Did he honestly think I couldnt hear that. God I knew sleeping with him would be a bad idea. He took advantage of me when I was vulnerable. Oh who am I kidding I wanted and needed him as much as he needed me. I can never forgive him for what he has done. I needed him, I loved him and he abandoned me like I was nothing to him. They all did. Well now I have moved on and its time he did the same. Do I really want him to though.

I need space to think but they are every where I turn. I go to the library and Carlisle is there chatting with Chris being friendly and stupidly wonderfully like a father figure to me by telling me how strong I am how he is so proud of me and loves me like his own daughter.

I go in the kitchen and Esme and Rosalie are there with Victoria swapping recipes for the girls and beauty techniques acting too much like a mother and a protective big sister.

I go into MY study and jasper is there with e.j and the others giving them therapy for Christ sake, can you believe it, he sees me and asks me to come and sit with him and talk with him privately about this confusion I feel if I ever need help with it. HA your helping to make it buddy.

I got to the garden and Emmet and bear are wrestling on my flower beds and then Emmet has the audacity to ask his 'likle sissy kins' to join in.

I tried my last resort, I went to the centre of the woods to sit and think. I had half an hour before Alice decided sitting on a nearby tree watching me wasn't enough and she needed to come and sit next to me.

"Bella"

I decided not answering would shut the little pixie up.. . . . . wait a minute this is Alice I'm talking about she doesn't need a response, just a pulse. . or lack there of.

"Bella, I have seen something. Its about you and my brother.."

"there is no me and your brother"

"yet" she said smugly

Damn her.. -_- S:-l

"Do you want to see?"

She already knew my answer and had the nerve to huff at me.

"Alice your brother hurt me in ways you can only imagine and even then it wont come close, we may have slept together a couple of times recently but I have put a stop to that now and it wont happen again, it was a mistake when we were both vulnerable and grieving. Believe me when I say it meant nothing to me."

I felt better having gotten that off my chest.

I don't know how I expected Alice to react, angry, sad, disappointed. I honestly don't know but what she did do creeped me out.

She sat there and laughed in my face then whispered so I could barely hear her

"liar"

She smiled at me and slowly and gently put her hands to my temples, I felt as well as saw the visions rush through me. Visions of ms all sitting in my front room, Carlie there smiling her head off, E.J trying to tackle bear and Emmet at the same time and them tag teaming her, Aries and Gemini sat on one of the settees looking at us, Gemini smiling, Aries being herself and I love her for it. Edward holding my hand as the rest sit round a giant Christmas tree sharing out presents, having fun.

Next vision me holding Alice and Rosalie's hands as they give birth Emmet and jasper sat outside with Edward in the middle.

I sat through vision after vision trying to force Alice out of my head.

Finally with a scream I got the little she devil off me and had her pinned to a tree so she couldnt move. I kept my distance so I didn't rip her apart. I have never been as angry as this towards anyone including Edward the day he abandoned me. I watched her face changed as she saw no doubt my next move, she knew what she was doing. She'll learn. I don't give third chances. Hell I don't normally give second ones.

"HOW DARE YOU!" "b..b..bella I"

"NOOOO. YOU ARE DONE TALKING. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE DONE RUINING MY LIFE."

I stepped towards her as she struggled to free herself.

I could smell the Cullens and my family racing towards us but I couldnt honestly care.

"HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY HOME AND FORCE YOURSELVES ON ME. NO-ONE ASKED YOU TO STAY. YOU HAVE COME INTO MY LIFE AND DONE NOTHING BUT FUCK WITH IT..."

Here they were, come to save their precious pixie but I was nowhere near done with her yet. With any of them.

"I am tired of taking everything lying down. Well no more. You have interfered with our lives and now I am through. You are responsible for the death of my daughter, my daughter who you abandoned me because I was carrying her. now you come and you want to play happy families. I say no. You lost your chance when you ran away and tore my heart out and took it with you."

I studied them. Alice still trying to free herself with fear in her eyes, jasper being held back by Emmet who in turn was being held back by bear in my defence, Esme in a defensive crouch not wanting to attack but she would if I hurt Alice, Rosalie looking furious and betrayed, really? Carlisle ready to act peacemaker but like Esme crouched ready to attack if necessary. Edward with tears in his eyes, not knowing what to do, defend me or Alice. Ha if he has any brains he'll stay where he is.

Aries appeared at my side in a small puff of purple smoke, she looked at the Cullens then looked at me, she crouched and snarled warning them to stay back.

" you heard Bella, you are unwanted. Leave."

" not without his daughters." Oh Emmet, Emmet ,Emmet. Stupid.

Aries had him bound before he could even blink. the impressive thing was she never left my side.

"Her daughters, never forget, your betrayal of her showed you had no interest you don't get to pick and choose. They will never pick you over her. You may as well leave willingly or we will force you."

That's just one of the many things I love about Aries, she doesn't have to raise her voice to get the point across. God help you if she is angry enough to shout.

They looked at us as if seeing us for the first time. I let Alice down before binding them all so they couldnt do anything rash. That's when I felt it, a sharp pricking sensation in the back of my head it began to grow. I couldnt keep my hold over them, the pain was too intense. I saw Aries' face before the world went completely black. The pain grew and grew till I couldnt stand it. my head was being split in two from the inside. I ....i ...........

Sometime later that week b pov

Hmmm.. oh god that hurts. The light is way to ... light. When I an finally see again I notice I'm in a crowded room of beautiful people. The most handsome man sat right next to me holding my hand. He is so cold but not at the same time not. His eyes a gorgeous shade of amber starring at me in concern.

"Bella?!" is that my name? It sounds familiar but I'm not sure.

"wh..." god my throat hurts "who . y..y..you?"

I really don't know who these people are or why they are looking at me like that.. oh god do I have something on my face, please lord I don't ask for much (least I don't think I do) but please with this beautiful ,beautiful man next to me please don't let me have something on my face.

"Bella don't you recognise me. I'm Edward, Edward Cullen." He is almost crying, god I wish I could sort this out in my head, all this noise. What did he say his name was culling, colon, culming? Oh Cullen right. Cullen?

"Cullen who?

He cried out and six other people hissed in something like pain at this. Shit did I say that out loud. Oh I hope I haven't offended him, he seems to know me.

"Bella?" "Aries" oh so I know her, yes I do know her, she has been my constant friend and sister for years, she has a sister Gemini, I know her too, slightly ditsy but loyal as anything. I remember my family, my ..daughters. But these others who are they. Why don't I know them if they know me. Oh I feel dizzy.....

E pov

I feel sick, my heart is breaking and its this little woman in front of me is the cause of it and she doesn't even know why. I love her so much. What has happened? Why doesn't she remember me? Us? I want to take her in my arms and run as fast as I can for as long as I can till we are alone but I cant, we have to find out what's happened.

I wish love could heal what's happened 'cause I have plenty of that to spare.. god I sound like a sap. I need to get it together for Bella's sake. For our children's sake.

Maybe this is the second chance I've been dreaming of. I'm not going to waste this one. Ill be everything she needs and more.

Sorry about the delay but like I said it cant be helped.

Let me know what you think. Love it, hate it, just about tolerate it. I want to hear what you think

Thanks for bearing with me

Yours water phoenix
