Bella POV

It was fortunate that Carlisle was working the night shift, otherwise I would have had to turn around and drive home, and I wasn't ready to face the hurt I inflicted on my seriously ill husband just yet. Sometimes I thought that it would have been easier and more preferable to stay human, that then the most serious thing I would have to worry about would be what shoes to wear with my new skirt.

I sighed when I thought of my pixie sister and amended the thought, sometimes for vampire, disasters had the same definition.

I walked forwards through the ER, winding my way in-between drunken teenagers and even worse off adults. I swallowed with my arms tight around me as I reached the desk, and did my best to smile for the receptionist who smiled up at me.

"Bella dear, what's the matter?" She asked and it was only then that I remembered her name, without having to look at her name badge.

Shirley had been present at our graduation, her grandson was in my year at school, he was a nice enough boy, in the sense that he was the only one in our entire history class who didn't try and look down my top.

"Can you page my father please, it's important." I mumbled my voice thick and looking as though I was on the verge of tears.

"Of course I can sweetheart, you just sit yourself down and he'll be right out." She said gently and turned back to her computer. I nodded and went and sat down, of course she thought that I was here because of Edward, in truth of course I was. But more than anything I just wanted Carlisle to hug me in his fatherly way and tell me that it was all going to be okay.

He appeared soon after, and his eyes went wide when he saw me. I practically threw myself at him, hugging him tight around the middle and sobbing into his shirt.

At fist his voice was anxious, "What's the matter Bella, is it Edward?"
I shook my head; face still pressed into his shirt.

"We had a fight." I mumbled and sniffed.

There was a brief pause before he finally spoke.

"Ah." He sighed and I started to cry again.

He stroked my back gently, "Let's go into my office, you can tell me all about it." He said and led me down the hall, before sitting me down in one of the chairs I had sat in so many times.

Edward would normally sit next to me and hold my hand, because mostly every time I had been in this room or one like it I had either been human or pregnant, sometimes both.

Carlisle shut the door and sat down beside me.

I swallowed and sniffed, playing with the hem of my shirt, he didn't push me for information, which was his bed side manner I guessed.

"He went to see Jay, Zara's sister." I mumbled.

Carlisle simply nodded, knowing that what I didn't need right now was a lecture in just how much I was over reacting. I already knew that.

"And then she came around the house, wanting to see her, I don't know what deal his made Carlisle but I don't trust her." I sobbed and he hushed me, obviously having heard enough.

"Bella I think..." He started but there was a demanding knock at the door and a rather breathless nurse rushed in.

"Dr Cullen. Crash team bay twenty five." She said and left, both of us stood, and I gave Carlisle a fleeting hug before he ran off to save lives.

I walked out with my arms folded into the car lot, knowing that know was the time to go home and face Edward, not that he was in any shape or position to be overly mad, but I knew that he would be pretty pissed.

I was about to get the fob out to open my car when two figures jumped off of the bonnet of it, who I had not previously spotted, although now I was only about ten paces away from them, I knew it was too late to run.

"Hello Bella." A smooth voice said from the darkness.
I swallowed, "Aro."

He chuckled, coming into the light to face me. I glanced around, Felix and Demetri were stood under a streetlamp pretending to talk, although I knew they were there in case I decided to hedge my bets and flee.

I turned back to Aro, Renata and Jane stood next to my car so hat escape goat was also out of the question. Upon deciding that the place was deserted enough and safe enough for me to remain where I was, I turned back to Aro.

"What do you want?" I demanded.

Again he chuckled and I was tired of all the false pleasantries, I wanted answers, and now.

Obviously my question had not been specific enough, so I tried nearly what I wanted so desperately to ask, but it was too painful to get the words out.

"Why can't you just leave us alone." I growled.

Upon my words Aro's face turned more like stone than paper, and I saw determination my eyes which made my stomach knot itself.

"Your son is dying Aro, why can't you just leave him in peace, with his family." I stressed the word.

"I am not here to see Edward." Aro said firmly, and there was nothing in his voice that made me doubt him.

"I'm here to see you." He clarified.

I swallowed ad stiffened, "Why?"

He folded his arms and stared into my eyes so I had no choice but to stare back.

"I'm offering you the chance to save Edward, forever."

And as much as I knew I was going to regret it, the words left my mouth with so much hope in them that I could not take them back.

"How?"
