We stayed by the little stream for a little while longer, as we explained to Emmett our plans for the vacation, as well as how long we were planning on staying. Before we headed back to meet up with Jacob and Leah, we exchanged numbers, and we told Emmett to call whenever he needed a break, and that he was more than welcome to join in on our little vacation, as long as he kept our presence a secret.

The rest of the night went by fairly uneventful. We hung out with Jacob and Leah, until they decided to go to sleep, and Riley and I planned out the rest of the vacation.

The next morning, we went to go wake Jacob and Leah up, but instead there was a note on the door, addressed to Riley.

Riley opened it, noting it was from Jacob and turned to me.

"Bella, you know I love you, and you know that I wouldn't want to ruin this vacation, but Jacob and Leah need help with something, and have asked for my attendance. I will be gone the majority of the day, are you going to be ok by yourself?" I could see he really didn't want to leave me, so I agreed, kissing him goodbye and telling him to hurry back.

The morning seemed to drag on as I walked down the many streets, window-shopping, and looking at the different sights. I was about to turn around and head back to the hotel when my phone started vibrating. I looked down to see Emmett's name scrolling across the screen.

"Hey Bells, Watcha doin?"

"I am window shopping, what are you doing?"

"Can I please hang out with you guys, the rest of the family are "redecorating" and I really don't want to paint anymore!"

"K, that's cool, its just me though, everyone else had some secret thing to do. Where do you want to meet?"

I could hear him chuckle on the other side of the line, though I didn't remember saying anything funny.

"Bells, turn around!"

And there he was, and 6 foot 7 of him. I now understood the laughter, and I couldn't suppress the giggles that were building up inside of me.

I ran up to him and pulled him in a hug, which he was more than happy to reciprocate.

"So Bells, whatch wanna do?"

"I don't care Em, what do you want to do?"

"Actually, if you don't mind, I have lived in this city long enough I have seen the sights, so I was kinda hoped that we could go for a run or something. I miss talking to you!"

"Ok Em, that sounds great!"

Before I knew it were in the middle of a vast forest. We were laughing so hard, as we through each other into the river, and darted around trees. It was so much fun having Emmett back. Before long, we were covered head to do in mud and leaves.

I was more than willing to continue fooling around, but it seemed like Emmett had other plans. He walked over to a large boulder and sat down, motioning me to take a seat next to him. I skeptically sat down. I couldn't remember a time when Em would rather sit down, than fight and mess around.

"Emmett, what's up? You don't seem yourself."

"Well Bells, I don't know how to say this…"

"Emmett please don't tell me you broke your promise!"

"No no bells, I didn't, but they know I am up to something. The look on their faces when I left, it was a surprise no one followed me. But I do need to talk to you."

This was so unlike him. He usually got right to the point.

"Please just tell me. I promise I wont get mad or anything."

"Well Bella, you and Alice were best friends," I let out a sigh but before I could interrupt, he had placed his hand over my mouth and continued, "but I never had friends outside of the family until you came along. You were my best friend to. And then I thought I lost you, and I was completely devastated. We all were, even Rose. Everyone has been beating themselves up about it, since Alice told us about Charlie's funeral, and your grave. I mean pore Esme, was depressed for months. WE all were Bella, and I know how much it would mean to them if you could just come back. We have missed you and we are soooo sorry about leaving you. We just wanted you to be safe, and now look at you. Your one of us, so we wouldn't have to worry about you trippen all over the place. Please say you will come with me, and show everyone your alive, well at least that your not dead!"

"Emmett, I don't know what to say. It really hurt me when you guys left, and I just don't know if I am ready to face you guys yet." I paused and began to think of what else I could say.

"Bells, look at you. You are sitting here with me, and everything is ok. Why cant it be that way with Alice, or Jasper or Esme, or anyone else?"

I gave this a long thought. He had a point. I didn't feel the same hatred for them that I once felt. Well for most of them anyway. Then it hit me. "Em, I don't think its them I am worried about. I don't blame any of you anymore, its just that I don't think I can be around a certain brother of yours. I mean I am happier than I have ever been, but I still think I harbor to many bad feelings for him, that it just wouldn't be pleasant. You can understand that cant you?"

"Yes Bells, I can. So will you come home with me?"

"Emmett, I just told you. I am not ready to see Edward."

"Bella, Edward isn't home right now. He is with the Denali clan right now. Every year, he leaves us around the time of the anniversary of your death. I think he just cant be around us because he knows how bad everyone feels this time of year. Bella we all love you, you have to know that. It has hurt my family tremendously that you died." He smiled as if he remembered something long forgotten. "But Bella, your not buried six feet under, and it would mend all of the broken ties in our family. Please Bella, do it for me. Nothing has been the same since we left! PLEASE!?" he had the puppy dog pout that I could resist back on his face.

"And you promise Edward isn't there?"

"Pinky Promise!!!"

"I guess, I will ask Riley if it will be ok!"

"No worries, he is already at the hous… crap I wasn't supposed to say anything about that."

"WHAT??"

"Ok no need to get upset Bella, but I met up with Jacob last night, and we kinda made this plan. Bella you have to know how much we missed you. Jacob, Leah, and Riley are all ready at the house. None of them thought you were ready, but I guess I just proved them wrong."

Before I could object I was slung over his back as he ran through the forest. I wasn't sure if her remembered if I was a vampire, or the fact that I was probably faster than him, but it felt good to just let the wind run through my hair.

It wasn't long before a very large house, that looked as if it was completely made of windows, came into sight.

I didn't have long to admire it before Emmett shoved me through the front door.
