"Hello?"

"Hey Renee, it's me."

"Hi baby, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I just felt like talking to you."

"Oh, well what about?"

"Nothing in particular. How's Florida?"

"The weather here is perfect. That reminds me, Phil has to travel for work in December so I can be with you for Christmas too."

"Okay, that should be fine."

"Good, at least now I'll hopefully be there if you're a week early."

"You really want to be here?"

"Of course I do, I was just shocked when you told me. You never really mentioned babies before."

"I know, but I'm excited."

"And you should be. How's everything else?"

"It's better. Mom, can I ask you something serious?"

"Okay…"

"Do you have any regrets?"

"What kind of regrets?"

"You know what I'm talking about Renee."

"I suppose I do. Hmm, I admit that I've made a lot of mistakes, but in the end I have you and I have Phil, so regrets? No."

"Oh, okay."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, that's really all I wanted to know. Actually, I think I'm going to call Dad now. I should warn him that he has to share his week with you."

"That will be interesting."

"It always is."

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Well hello to you, too."

"Bells?"

"Hi Dad."

"What's wrong?"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that? Can't a girl call their dad at…11:30?"

"I guess so…"

"Anyway, how are things in Forks?"

"It's good. Things got a little crazy here when Leah moved back. Man I hate that girl."

"She came back?"

"Yeah- Jake didn't tell you?"

"No, I guess we haven't been talking lately…"

"Doesn't seem like there's been much progress."

"Actually Dad, that's kind of why I'm calling you. I know we never do the whole serious conversation thing, and after we hang up we can just pretend this never happened, but I was just wondering…do you have any regrets."

"Ha, do you want me to count? Can you at last narrow it down a little?"

"Mom, I'm talking about Mom. Do you regret taking her back?"

"I can't tell you what to do Bella."

"I know you can't, but this is something that I've always wondered."

"Okay, if you're sure then the answer is no. I was pretty torn up after I found out, but I did what I thought was best for you. I can't regret that."

"Even though she just ended up leaving you anyway?"

"It took a while, but looking back on it now...well, I'm glad that I at least tried."

"Okay, thank you."

"These things take time Bells, I know you just want to jump right in."

"You know me so well."

"That's my job. Is there anything else?"

"No, I think that's it. Wait! Mom is going to be down here for Christmas, too."

"Is this a joke?"

"Very funny."

"Is she staying in a hotel?"

"You know I can't ask her to do that."

"You're killing me here, kid."

"I love you, Dad."

"Yeah yeah, I love you too."

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

"Yeah?"

"Hey."

"Hey there, what are you doing up this late?"

"Oh you know, just having trouble sleeping."

"If I come over I can help you with that."

"You think so?"

"Yeah."

"I don't think that's such a good idea."

"You know I'm joking. Now why don't you tell me the real reason why you're calling."

"I…I wanted to say that I realized tonight how much I miss you. I don't like the way things have been between us lately."

"I know, me too. I'm sorry I've been so distant this week, I've just been…busy."

"Yeah, I figured."

"Next week, pick the time and place and we'll go there, just you and me. It will be like old times. What do you think?"

"Okay, I think I'd like that. Goodnight Jake."

Would you believe me if I said the big moment is almost here?
