I am just as surprised as you! I didn't think I would have another chapter finished so soon! But here it is. I love when I'm about to make my fingers dance on the keyboard. Hope you enjoy!

Lots of language in this one. Oh and I believe I will have lemons in this story. I just got to work on reuniting Jake and Ness.

Disclaimed...I don't own any characters! Oh well! lol!

Chapter 12...

I feel groggy. It feels like I have been asleep all day. The last thing I remember is seeing my family surround me and the walls closing in on me. I remember breathing heavily before everything went black.

"She is gaining consciousness." That is the voice of my grandfather. I know it anywhere. I think they are talking about me. Damn. I probably fainted again. I hadn't done that in years. Last time I fainted I was overwhelmed with the dreaded feeling of leaving…him.

"Reneesme. Honey? Can you hear me?"

Oh mother! You are always so dramatic. Just let me gather my thoughts please.

"She can't help caring for you Reneesme. She is your mother after all."

Crap! I forgot about dad!

"I hope you don't always forget about me."

Dad, I just need a moment please. Just a moment. I will be down when I gather myself. Please?

"Come on hon. She will get up when she is ready."

"No Edward. I want to stay right here. I am not leaving her!"

"Bella, love, she is conscious already. She just need a moment. Come on. She will be down when she is ready."

"Reneesme Carlie Cullen! You answer me right now!"

"Yes mother. I will be down in a minute," I answered her without opening my eyes. God, why does it always have to be about her?! Can she please just let me have a fucking moment?! Fuck! Is that too much to ask for!

"Language Reneesme!" Edward chastise her. She signed heavily in defeat while rolling her eyes under her eye lids.

"I can still see that too. I'm not blind Reneesme." Edward chastised her again.

"Fine! Geez! I just needed a minute to gather my thoughts!" She yelled at them both. Her mother looked hurt at the way her daughter chose to speak to her. She was only concerned as a mother should be, but her daughter was intent on punishing her. Her daughter rose to her feet and begin to walk away. Her mother reached out and grabbed her by the wrist. She yanked her arm away from her mother as she made her way out the door without looking back.

"She just needed a minute to gather her thoughts, Bella. Why couldn't you just let her be for the moment?" Edwards was now chastising his wife.

"I am her mother. I worry about her or do I not have the privilege of worrying about my daughter anymore?" Bella now angry at Edward.

"Dammit Bella! She just needed a minute! No one said you didn't have the right to be worried about her!" Edward retorted. He looked at Bella with anger in his eyes. It seems that's the look he's been having in his eyes lately. Especially when it came to refereeing the two women in his life. He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Why couldn't Bella just let Nessie have a moment. One moment of peace and then she wouldn't be so angry with her mother.

"Well I'm sorry. I can't help it. She's my daughter and I worry about her. I'm sorry if this bothers the both of you." She crossed her arms and sat back on her chair, sighing heavily.

"Bella, love. Please. I don't want to argue anymore. I'm tired of this just as much as you are. I know you're scared and concerned. I am too. It's been a long tough road and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. You don't know just how much I want us to be a family again." He sighed as he felt a lump in his throat. "I don't know how much longer we can go on like this. I don't want to go on like this. It's effecting everyone. The entire family is just so exhausted. I can't even begin to imagine how Jasper may be feeling."

"Jasper?! JASPER?! You are fucking worried about how Jasper is feeling?! What about me Edward?! Do you even care about how this is effecting ME?! ARE YOU?!"

"I DIDN'T SAY I WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT YOU!" He bellowed. "Why do you always have to jump to conclusions Bella?!"

"Well when my daughter refuses to talk to me and my husband is more concerned about how his family is feeling rather than his own wife! What am I supposed to think?!" She yelled back. "I get it. You have been with your family a lot longer than you have been with me but I foolishly thought I was the love of your life!" She spat in his face.

"YOU ARE! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT? I thought we were over this. I thought you understood this! Why are we fighting about this again?!" He asked her.

"BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO CARE MORE ABOUT THE REST OF THE FAMILY INSTEAD OF THE FAMILY WE CREATED! WHY CAN'T YOU PUT IN THE EFFORT TO HELP HEAL US AND BRING US BACK TOGETHER?!" She stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, waiting for an answer.

"BECAUSE HE'S NOT THE ONE WHO TORE US APART MOTHER!" Bella jumped at the reply she got from her daughter. They had not realized their daughter had re-entered the room at the sound of their shouting. "BECAUSE HE IS NOT THE ONE ALWAYS ON MY FUCKING CASE MOTHER!"

"RENEESME! LANGUAGE! DO NOT TALK TO YOUR MOTHER IN THAT TONE!" Edward would not have his daughter disrespect her mother no matter how angry she was at her.

"FUCK OFF DADDY DEAR!" Reneesme spat his way.

"Little girl you are not to speak to us in that manner! Regardless of the anger you feel, you will still respect us! Now go to your room and don't come out until I call you! NOW!" Edward yelled in his daughter's stunned and angered face. He had never yelled as her before. But she knew she deserved it. She had never spoke to him in that manner.

"Dad…"

"Reneesme, I don't want to see you right now. Now GO!" Edward pointed towards the door. He was angry and was trying very hard to keep his composure. She turned around and headed for the door. She turned back around before exiting and yelled towards her mother, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"GO!" Her father bellowed and his voice seem to shake the whole house. She quickly retreated to her room. Everyone in the room stood in stun silence, not really knowing what to say or do. This had become a common sight for them. Bella and Edward fighting. Edward was right. This was effecting everyone. No one knew how to fix it. No one knew what to say. It's so hard for the family for they were all in the middle, not wanting to take sides. Carlisle cleared his throat. Edward turned towards him and the rest of the family. He finally realized this fight was in front of the entire family, yet again.

"I'm sorry everyone. I can't even begin to apologize." Edward apologized with pained words.

"It's okay Edward. We understand this is taking a toll on you and us." Esme always understanding. "We will leave you two alone. Come on everyone. Out." She ushered the stunned family out of the room. Edward turned to his wife.

"Bella…"

"Don't," She stopped him. "Don't even start to apologize to me. I'm done hearing apologies, Edward. I have to go check on Charlie and Sue and NO I do NOT want you to follow me. I need a moment!" she said as she walked out the door and left him with his head hanging, defeated. What had happened to his family? This is not what he pictured his life to be once he married the love of his life. They were so happy in the beginning. They finally got married and everything seem to be working out. They were even blessed with a child! A child! Not once did he ever thought he would ever become a father! Bella always made the impossible, possible. All three of them had a beautiful wonderful life in front of them. That is until he came along! It was always him! He tried to steal his happiness away from him. Always ready to drive a wedge between him and Bella. And then when he knew he lost his battle to win Bella, he turned his attention to their daughter! Edward punched the table in frustration and anger, breaking the table with little effort. It was always Jacob that caused all these problems! How he hated the mongrel! Edward was seeing red! He wanted blood!

Alice came into the room. She place her hands on either side of Edwards face and pleaded, "Edward. Please think about this! It will only bring trouble to the family! Please Edward!"

Edward knew what she was talking about. He knew Alice had seen the decision he had made. If he hurt that stupid excuse of a mongrel, he would break the treaty and put his family in harm's way. But why should he care? The mongrel had already caused so much trouble in his family. It was his fault that his family was being torn apart! It was him that brought all this tension to the family! Why couldn't he just let him feel the hurt he is putting his family through?! Why did they have to suffer alone?! Why did his family have to be broken because of this fucking mongrel?!

He pushed past Alice just to find Emmett and Jasper blocking his way. Carlisle spoke from behind them.

"Edward. Son. Please. We beg you to calm down before you do something you will regret. We can get through this. We are all in this together." Carlisle pleaded with him.

"FUCK!" he yelled in defeat. He knew he couldn't just put his family through this but he knew it wasn't fair that they had to go through this either. He squatted down, linking his hands behind his head and sunk his head between his knee. Rocking back and forth, he fought to regain his control. Frustrated at not knowing what to do to bring peace. He just wanted his wife back. He wanted his daughter back. He wanted them to be on speaking terms. God how he wished this to all go away. He fell to the floor, curling up and sobbing vampire tears. He was crushed. He had no idea what to do. Esme stepped forward and took her son in her arms.

"Edward. Son. It's going to be okay. We will find a way." She cooed at him as she cradled her son in her motherly arms letting him feel the security that only a mother could provide. Rocking him back and forth and letting him cry into her arms. He was truly broken. They all were.

I can't believe she would make this about herself! How can she not blame herself? Fuck how I hate my mother! She is tearing this family apart! She just can't leave well enough alone! FUCK! I feel like punching something! She is making my father go crazy and yet she can't see that. Dammit! I hate this! Why?!

She began to cry into her pillow. She knew why. She knew this all had to do with him. It all had to do with this stupid imprinting. She just knew it. She just didn't know if she could fight it anymore. She was not supposed to be. She was never supposed to be here. But now that she is here, she is nothing but a burden and trouble. She was driving a wedge between her parents. They were so in love and now it seems all they ever do is argue. They always argued about her. Always about her. And she was angry because it was always about him! Why couldn't she just forget about him. Why is he still in her heart? Why does he still have this effect on her? Why can't she just stop loving him? Dear God Why?!

She sobbed into her pillow. Frustrated and angry. She wanted nothing but for her family to be happy again. She wanted her parents to get along again. She had not realized just how bad the situation was until today. Far away from here, they could all just pretend, but pretend is all they could do. There was nothing happy about the family anymore. The bags under their eyes showed it. The worry on their faces showed it. No. This family was not living anymore. They were just going through the motion. Just as she was going through the motions. Pretending. Pretending that she could leave him. Pretending that she could stop loving him.

What was she going to do now? She didn't want her parents to break up and she didn't want to be the reason they broke up. She wanted this family to feel love again. She wanted them to have their life back. But how? They weren't happy when she wasn't happy. She truly felt like crap! Maybe she should have listen to the pack that night she fought with them. Maybe Jared was right about this being a bad idea. Seth is probably kicking himself about the loophole he provided. She knew his pack brothers gave his a good ass whooping that night. He couldn't get up. He was so bloody and in pain when she went to speak to them that night. They had broken his legs and arms so that he could not fight back. She wanted to help him but Paul stated this was pack law and stood between them. Seth had to pay for coming in between their alpha and his mate. Mate! She was not his mate! This was just some big mistake. He imprinted on her and was forced to love her. And like she told them. This was not the kind of love she ever wanted. FORCED!

Quil and Embry were adamant that Jacob did in fact love me despite the imprint. They had seen it and felt it in their wolf forms. They compared it to the love my parents have…had. God! I can't believe after all this time he is still on my mind! Who the fuck am I kidding?! He is still in my heart! The pack was right. I did love him. I do love him! What the fuck have I done?

DAMMIT! I fucked up yet again! How am I going to fix this? I can't take him back. That is out of the question. I do love him but I love him too much to let him be forced to love me because of some imprint. What am I going to do? Fuck I feel hopeless.

She sighed in defeat. She put her headphone on an let the music take her away from all of this if only for a moment. She wasn't sure what to do but right now she had bigger things to worry about. She could only pray that Grandma Sue was alright and that Grandpa would be okay as well. With so much on her mind, she curled up in bed no longer wanting to think about anything. With that she closed her eyes and just lost herself in her music. She will have to figure something out soon but right now she was finally getting her moment.

Please R&R...

Much love...
