We got a call from Carlisle a few hours later telling us they we're on their way back. Everyone waited patiently, but Alice was pacing from one side of the room the other. Edward had his head in his hands, he looked extremely strained.

Alice! Would you mind not thinking about it so much? Just sit down and wait!

Sorry Edward.

She sat down next to me but constantly tapped her foot, it was quite annoying. Edward sighed and looked at her again.

Alice!

She rolled her eyes and sat with her eyes closed. Geez, what was up with them, did Alice see something that would shock us, or was she watching someone. My question was to be answered as Carlisle and Noah walked in the door. Noah looked at me apologetically, I just glared. Carlisle sat down next to Esme. So the traitor was going to do the talking, that was a surprise.

Everyone, I need to apologize for my behaviour, I seriously didn't think that I would be capable of that. I became a person I'd never thought I would be. When this existence started for me I didn't know what to make of it, thrown into a group of strangers I didn't really know what to do. But if I'm truthful with you I just don't think I fit in here, so I've discussed it with Carlisle and I think it would be best if I left, for a few years or months. I need to sort things out...

Everyone stood up and farewelled him apart from me. I walked over to the window and looked out. I waited until I heard Noah run out the door. Then he did something I did not expect, as he was about to jump over the river he turned around waved at me and smiled, he also said something faintly that only I would have heard.

Bye Bella see you soon. Thanks for everything.

As I was smiling, a warm hand patted me on the back, and my body instantly untensed.

Jake...

What's up Bells?

I'm afraid for Charlie, what if the volturi find out?

How will they? and if that happens well we can fight for him. The Cullen's protected you against them right?

But Jake, I don't want to have to change Charlie

I felt as if there was water welling in my eyes, even though that was impossible. He pulled me into a hug and squeezed tightly. I'd placed so many burdens on the Cullen's and it had caused them pain, separation and anxiety. I just wanted to be human and unaware for 1 day. Just another day of being Isabella Cullen, a girl who had moved from Arizona and went along doing her own things, not worry about what the Cullen's where. I regretted thinking it straight away, but there was a part of me that still wanted to be human, to not be a vampire. Jacob didn't really know what to say all he could do was comfort wordlessly. It felt right; I don't think Edward would understand what was going through my mind as much as Jacob did. I was bought out of my sulk by a small voice beside me.

Momma, why are you crying, did someone hurt you?

No, it's not that. It's just well...

I figured this was a good time to tell her, since Charlie would probably visit tomorrow.

Well grandpa, found out about us today.

He knows we're immortals?! Yay, now can I show him my pictures.

I don't know sweetie, I'll tell you when you can though.

Oh Jacob, does that mean I can show him how high I can jump and how fast I can run?

Sure thing ness, why not.

We both laughed as she pirouetted extremely quickly and danced across the room to Alice, who she told her plans to.

Listen Bells, The tribe has made a decision, as whole we think you Cullen's should be allowed onto our land.

Are you kidding me!? That's fantastic!

But Bells, it's only you guys. So if any of your leech friends come to visit, we won't be as friendly...

Everyone had heard our conversation and where all now coming over to thank Jacob, our connection with the wolves had become even stronger now. It would be good to get back to La Push and see everyone, maybe even spend a day in the shed with Jake working on his car, or re-doing some more motorcycles. A smile slowly spread across my face. Edward grabbed my hand and squeezed it giving me an encouraging smile; he'd heard how worried I was about Charlie. I looked outside again and was surprised to see the sun rising, it didn't seem like we'd been waiting the whole night for Noah and Carlisle. I looked to Renesmee who was sitting on the lounge nodding off, releasing myself from Edward I quickly went to her. It was extremely relaxing to watch her sleep. Her eyes fluttered slightly open.

Momma?

Shh go back to sleep.

Okay, I love you

Her lips moved into an oval shape as she yawned , within 2 minutes she was completely asleep. I scooped her up in my arms, and carried her into her bedroom, lying down beside her I closed my own eyes and listened to everything. Not too far away I could hear 2 humans walking, from what I could tell there was a boy and girl. They were walking along the highway holding hands and kissing. I reached further out, someone's car zoomed past with scream music playing at full volume and the driver sung along...badly. I heard someone walking up the stairs, and sighed in happiness as Edward joined me, lying on the opposite side of Renesmee. There was a few minutes of silence.

Charlie is in no danger Bella. I saw it in Alice's vision .

Really?

Truly my love.

We bothed closed our eyes and lay in silence for a few minutes, hours, days or years. Frankly I didn't really care, the puzzle that was my life had finally fallen into place.
