Hello! I have had a lot of support from reviewers and I really appreciate it. I just want to relax everyone, I had all my cancer removed and I am cancer free. Mentally I am coping much better and I am making sure I have regular check ups to ensure I stay that way.

I have also been asked to create a blurb about what happened recently in the story.

Bella was attacked by Jacob during a fight they were having over the Cullens and she punched him in the face when he told her she was playing dumb about her growing romance with Emmett. Jacob lost his cool and phased, attacking Bella and ripping her apart. Charlie called the Cullens to come and help Bella and Angela watched the whole mishap through Bella's bedroom window. The Cullens got there and Charlie begged them to change Bella so he didn't have to lose her. Alice changed Bella and she woke up after two days of silence because of her epilepsy.

Bella woke up crying and it turned out she had a few incredible gifts. She is humanistic – giving her many human traits, like the ability to blush and cry; she is epileptic – giving her the ability to paralyze another vampire as she would be during an episode; she is a shield; she is a lie detector – giving her the ability to know if someone is telling the truth and force them to be truthful; she is a gift giver – allowing her to give any vampire she chooses three wishes and with this gift she can also grant herself unlimited wishes and can "scan" people to see their name and what their gifts are. This ability also allows her to see the aura of someone with a gift – green=physical, blue=mental, white=both. Her last gift is being able to produce a child, which is because she has a blood relative that is a vampire, aka, Alice. Alice was also given this gift when Bella was changed but Bella has not brought it up yet. The school was told that Bella was killed and they had a memorial day for her at the school like they did for Jessica.

Bella has just realized that because she was a vegetarian in her human life, she finds it impossible to eat the way the Cullen's do and Carlisle came up with the idea to get blood packs from a butcher shop so she can eat that way. Charlie and Angela both know about Bella's transformation and the wolves and vampires but the Cullen's don't believe Bella should be around them yet for their own safety. On the way back from the butcher shop with Carlisle, Bella ran from the car when she was told she couldn't see her dad yet.

I hope you are all caught up! Let me know if you are confused by anything and I can send you a message to clear up the story for you :)

Enjoy!

You tuck me in,

Turn out the light.

Kept me safe and sound at night.

Little girls depend on things like that.

Turned around and you were there,

The two of us made quite a pair,

Daddy's little girl was here at last.

Looked away and back again,

Suddenly a year was ten,

Don't know how it got so far so fast.

Chapter Twenty: All My Life

Bella POV

I couldn't do it. He told me that I couldn't see my dad yet and I just lost it…I wasn't even sure why. It was impulsive. 'Well Bells they told you that you could be more emotional than usual.' I felt really bad for bolting from the car as soon as Carlisle stopped… I didn't mean to be so rude to the man that went out of his way to make me comfortable but I think I've already proven my restraint…I could never hurt my dad.

I ran and ran until I found it…home. It's only been a few days but I feel like it's been an eternity. The last time I was here I was laying on the grass out back…bleeding to death. I shuddered at the thought of how I ended up in this state and tried to push it from my mind. I could smell a lot of things in this clearing. A musty, woodsy smell that I somehow knew to be my dad, wolf stench, the Cullen's, a sweet lavender smell, and very sweet, delicious smelling vanilla brown sugar. I knew for some reason that smell was mine from when I was human and I found it very off-putting.

"Wow…I did smell good." I mumbled humourlessly as I tried very hard to move at a human's pace up to the door of my home. Yes, it was still my home. I may be another species but this house will always be my home. I took a deep, unnecessary breath and knocked on the door, rather loudly. I blushed a bit at my newfound strength and waited patiently. I didn't want to barge in and scare my dad…I just felt with my new self I needed an invite. I could smell my dad coming to the door and I could hear his foot shuffle glumly, his throat clear. Everything was so pronounced. The door swung open and there stood my dad, shock on his face and something in his eye. He was thrilled to see me but I also knew there was a hesitancy.

"Bells?" he choked out. I gave him a moment to take me in… I had changed a lot. I knew my appearance was going to take some getting used to and I wanted him to ease into this whole experience…I was trying to. I saw lines on my dad I have never seen before. He looked warn down…I saw his grey coming in a bit fuller. He began moving towards me but hesitated.

"Dad?" He looked shocked at my voice. Even though I knew it wasn't much different, I knew he would find it to be a big change. He just stood there watching me.

"Dad I'm ok to be here…I promise." I held my hand out to him and he slowly brought his own hand out to meet mine and held it delicately.

Charlie POV

As soon as I made contact with her hand I felt the cold marble she was now encased in and it made me so sad. My Bella…she was standing here, more beautiful than ever. Her hair was longer and darker…her skin more pale and polished. She seemed smaller than before, a little shorter and more slender. She was wearing a very pretty white dress and it contrasted drastically with her blood red eyes. I knew she would look different than the Cullen's but it made me uneasy. I could see a few very faint scars on her legs and chest but nothing too drastic…she looked so much better than she did after the attack. I couldn't believe how well she healed up.

I held her hand in two of my own and felt how rock solid her skin now was. She was so cold… I ran my hand up her arm to her shoulder and it was like touching a smooth piece of marble…like a statue. She was perfectly still; not breathing…not blinking…it kind of freaked me out. I put my hand on the side of her face and she smiled and a tear escaped her eye and I immediately pulled her into a hug…well…I more so pulled myself into her because she didn't move. I hugged my daughter to me and she hugged me back. A little tight but nothing I couldn't handle. I just wanted her to be close. I stood there for a few minutes letting tears fall from my eyes and she did the same. I needed this…I didn't lose my daughter but in a way I did. And she lost her life. We both needed to grieve and begin to heal and adjust.

"I love you Bells." I whispered, hugging her in the doorway of our house.

"I love you too dad."

Emmett POV

We rushed to Charlie's house hoping to make it there in time. Bella can be so stubborn…I know she loves him but that's the exact reason she needs to be sure that she won't slip…she would never forgive herself. The thought of Bella suffering that amount of guilt pushed me forward more and I urged myself to go faster. Soon we were standing back where it all happened. I looked to the backyard where Bella laid and felt so sad for her. Everything happened so fast it's been hard to process. Alice rushing past me shook me out of my thoughts.

"She's already inside." She said in a rush. She led us running to the front door and we didn't knock, we just ran into the house to find Bella and Charlie. We stopped short in the living room, an amazing sight in front of us. There was Charlie and Bella sitting on the couch together, chatting about the last few days, with the game on. We all just looked at them in awe and they looked to us surprised.

"Hey guys, good to see you!" Charlie said with a smile that almost reached his eyes. Bella was holding his hand and sitting very still beside him on the couch with the same smile on her face.

"Hey…Charlie…Bella." I said. I looked to my family and no one really knew what to say. It was safe to assume we were all shocked at Bella's restraint.

"Bella, we were worried about you when you left the house." Carlisle said from beside me, stepping forward. Bella's head dropped in shame. She stood from the couch a little too quickly and blushed at her mishap.

"I'm sorry I left Carlisle…I didn't mean to be so rude I just knew I was ready to come see my dad. I wanted some alone time with him." Charlie looked to Bella and Carlise.

"Bells, did you leave without telling them?" She looked sheepish but nodded slowly.

"Guys I think we should focus on something more important here…look how amazing Bella is doing." Came a southern drawl from behind me. Jasper walked up to Bella and put his arm around her.

"I've never seen a newborn be so safe. You've done really well Bella. I'm proud of you." Bella grinned to him and turned to look at her dad to share in the joy but she bolted backward, knocking both herself and Jasper over. We all were instantly on edge and watched Bella sitting on the floor stunned, watching Charlie.

"Bella…sweetheart what's wrong?" Jasper asked her. She just shook her head and squinted at her dad. She stood up way too fast and in less than a second was in front of him touching the air around his head.

Bella POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. A grey aura had formed around my dad. I looked very closely at it…it rippled like ours did…it moved like ours did. But it was grey. My dad looked up at me and I locked eyes with him and my scanner popped up.

Charles Swan

Lie Detector

This human is very perceptive and if he became a vampire, he would retain the gift of lie detector.

I snapped out of my scanner and my dad was looking at me with concern. I looked to everyone and they were on edge watching me.

"That was so weird…Carlisle…do our gifts work on humans?" He looked at me hesitantly and nodded. I sat down beside my dad and put my hand on his.

"Dad, you have an aura!" He looked confused and I turned to Carlisle who looked interested. Everyone sat down once they realized I hadn't lost my marbles and waited for me to explain.

"Dad I have this gift…I can give gifts to any vampire I choose. They get three wishes…kind of like a genie. With that gift I can also see what gifts others have and those with a gift have an aura. There are green auras, blue auras and white auras. Green is for a physical gift, like Alice seeing the future, or Jasper's empathy, blue is for a mental gift, like Edward's mindreading, and white means you can do both, which I have. But you…you have a grey aura." He still looked confused and overwhelmed so I turned to Carlisle.

"Interesting…Bella can you scan him like you did with the others?" I nodded.

"I did that…it said that if he was a vampire he would hold a certain gift. Could grey mean that the gift is not yet solidified?" He nodded in thought.

"That's pretty likely but I will look it up once we get home." I smiled and turned to my dad.

"Would someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" He said confused. I laughed and put my hand on his again.

"What I'm saying is that if you were a vampire, Emmett would classify you as a 'cool toy'." Emmett chuckled and my dad smiled a bit. I clarified.

"My gift must tell me what gifts humans would have if they were to become a vampire, because when you looked into my eyes a sort of database opened up in my mind and told me your full name and that you are human, but if you were a vampire you would be a lie detector." He still looked a bit confused.

"Charlie a lie detector can tell based on pure instinct if someone is lying and when they look into someone's eyes they can then force the liar to tell the truth. Bella has that gift as well." Alice told him. He looked interested and turned to me with amusement.

"So I'm a cool toy?" I laughed and nodded. The mood was lightened then and we settled into easy conversation. Emmett sat beside me and tossed his arm around my shoulders.

"Did Bell tell you she's a cool toy too?" Alice asked and Emmett laughed a booming laugh.

"Bella isn't a cool toy. She is a jacked up toy kids beg for at Christmas!" Everyone laughed and I poked his side. He laughed and let out a real 'ow'. I grinned. I kind of like not being so weak.

"Well what does the Bella action figure do?" My dad asked and I giggled. Everyone started talking about my gifts and I took that moment to really take everyone in. I looked to Carlisle and Esme sitting together on the loveseat. They looked very flawless but I could see a few more things on them than before. Esme had a scar that started on her neck and disappeared under the collar of her shirt. It looked kind of like mine…jagged, like a tear. I remembered that she had thrown herself off a cliff and I assumed it was from her accident. Carlisle wasn't marked at all other than two small puncture wounds on his neck. 'Where he was changed.' I thought sadly. From what I understood, Carlisle was just changed in the middle of a London street hundreds of years ago. He went through the change all on his own…I couldn't imagine.

I then turned to Jasper. His golden curls sat on his head delicately and I could see the crescent moon shaped scars all over his arms that were exposed from his t-shirt. I could see them up his neck, his arms, disappearing behind his shirt. He looked not a day over twenty. I remembered the pain he felt when we were talking about regrets and I knew there was more behind those scars and one day I would ask him.

I looked to Alice as she was talking to my dad and I noticed how young she looked. She was only eighteen when she was changed…a year older than I am. She had a few different puncture wounds on her neck and a few on her wrists. 'James.' That sick bastard left those scars when he tortured her for years, biting her and sucking the venom out. I never noticed these scars with my human eyes…maybe humans can't see mine?

I then turned to Emmett. He looked even more handsome than before. His dark chestnut coloured hair contrasted brightly with his pale skin, curling ever so slightly. His face was perfectly chiseled and he didn't seem t have any scars I could see…not even puncture wounds. His muscles practically ripped under his shirt and he fidgeted slightly. I noticed his slight movements, forced blinking…breathing…though he really didn't need to. I suppose its habit for all of them. I looked around the room and saw them all doing it and I looked down at my own body. I was as still as a…well…dead person. I started trying to blink and "breathe" normally but I looked up and saw Jasper snickering at me…obviously I looked foolish. I smiled and shot him a fake dirty look and kept trying. Carlisle was now talking to Charlie about the ins and outs of the change so no one else had noticed. 'He must have felt my curiosity.' I tried toning the movements down a bit and made them less robotic…but I ended up blinking like 10 times in 2 seconds. Jasper chuckled, receiving a few looks but he let it drop. I watched him closely as he tried to demonstrate and I tried to mimic him. I could tell I wasn't quite "human like" but he smiled and shot me thumbs up anyway. I grinned and looked around to see everyone now staring at me. I didn't even notice they had stopped talking. I looked at their amused looks and I laughed exasperatedly.

"What?! It's hard!" Everyone laughed and my dad put his hand on mine.

"Bells…are you upset with me?" I looked to him curiously.

"No…why would I be upset with you?" He looked down and sighed.

"I know you didn't want this but…I couldn't help but want them to save you…any way possible." I shook my head.

"Dad…I can't lie to you. I feel a little lost. My whole world is different now but…I've never felt more powerful and in control. You never need to worry about my epilepsy or clumsiness. I can't get into a car accident or get attacked and end up in the hospital… you never need to worry about me dad. I feel so indestructible and powerful that I could punch through a mountain. I can finally live in a world with the people I love and know that I can't disappoint them." He looked at me sadly.

"Bells…you were never a disappointment." I stood up, feeling the need to pace. 'Humanistic trait I suppose.'

"I know dad but in a way I was. Who wants to have a daughter or friend that you have to tip toe around? That you have to hold back with?" I looked to a silent room. I shook my head.

"Exactly. You never need to worry about me now." I sat down beside him and held his hand.

"You will never. lose. me. And the fact that I can be a daughter that you don't need to worry about…I have never been happier to give that to you. I should be thanking you…for this amazing chance to be that person." I looked to Alice as well.

"I should thank both of you." My dad wiped a tear before it could fall. I pulled him in for a hug, careful to not squeeze too tight. I heard a resounding gasp but ignored it. I would never hurt my dad…I couldn't. I pulled back when I heard Alice's phone ring. She excused herself but we could still hear the conversation. It was Angela.

"Well…can I come see her?" she asked.

"I don't see why not I suppose. She's doing well but I will check-"

"Yes Alice! Yes." I called. She laughed and turned back to Angela.

"Come on over to Bella's." They soon said goodbye and I stood up, probably suddenly to them, and went to the kitchen.

Emmett POV

We watched Bella go into the kitchen and gave each other a look. I looked to Charlie and he seemed amused by his daughter's new quirky attitude and just looked at us with humour. I got up and went to the kitchen to find Bella pulling a few pieces of chicken and veggies out of the fridge, along with pasta out of the cupboard. She, of course, did all of that in only a few seconds. I leaned against the counter and watched her for a few moments. Within the minute, she had four pieces of chicken in the oven and pasta in water on the stove, and she was just starting to chop some celery. I cleared my throat and she turned to me without stopping her chopping.

"Yes?" I chuckled.

"What are you up to Bella?" She looked at me curiously, still chopping furiously.

"Making dinner of course. My dad and Angela need to eat." I smiled to her and could hear Alice explaining to Charlie what Bella was doing. 'She's such a cutie.' I just stood there watching her for a few minutes. So much had changed in the last few days and I had yet to process the most personal aspect of this transition… Bella and I had kissed and couldn't be together because she was a human and I was a vampire. But now…that problem isn't in our way. I watched her maneuver the kitchen like a human would but warp speed. She's gorgeous…so naturally beautiful as a human and those features have been enhanced from the change she just…she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. No amount of beautiful girls, vampires, sunsets or starry nights could compare to the person standing in front of me. Watching her I knew…I am so in love with this girl that it hurts. I know that it will take time and that I need to let Bella adjust but…I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope that this could be what I've been looking for all my life.

Hey guys! I know that chapter wasn't as long as I should have made it but I felt like this was a good break in the story line between this chapter and the next. I'm starting the next chapter now! Hope you enjoy!
