"Edward, there's something I need to tell you when you get back, " Carlisle said before I left to take Bella home.

"Okay," I said, walking out after her.

When I got back, Carlisle was sitting on the couch in the living room, waiting for me. Everyone else had gone out to hunt.

"What did you want to tell me?" I asked , sitting down. He was hiding something, I could see that even without my gift.

"Your father never died," he informed me.

"No. He was killed in the first wave of the influenza."

"He was infected in the first wave. He could tell I wasn't human and begged me to save all of you. He left after he woke up"

"Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked.

"He didn't want you to know."

" Wait, if he asked you to save all of us, why didn't you turn my mother? "

"She wanted me to turn you first, I didn't have time to turn her after I got back to the hospital."

" why are you telling me this now," I asked. "If he didn't want me to know?"

"He called me last week. He's coming back." Carlisle said.

"He's coming back?" I asked. "Why did he leave in the first place?"

"He knew it'd be better for you without him."

"How'd he know?" I asked, trying and failing to read his mind.

"His gift. He could see every possible future and he chose the one the was best for you."

"When's he coming back?" I asked.

"He'll be here tomorrow," Carlisle said.
