Rose POV:

So it is official. There is now another member to the Cullen family. I suppose I am somewhat annoyed at this, but I really can't be. This was partially my fault. If I hadn't wrecked Emmett's car things would have gone so differently, maybe Bella wouldn't have to have been changed. I noticed Emmett had heard Bella from upstairs so we decided to go and see how she was.

It's so hard being with Emmett when I know just how much he cares for Bella. The two of them are so close and it is so hard at times not to be jealous when they are hanging out. It's as if he likes her better. I really do want to be closer with her, especially now since I'm probably the only one that can truly relate to what she has gone through, but it's just so damn hard! She walks around as if she truly belongs here when she doesn't. She never should have found out about us. "Stop thinking like that, she's never done anything to you. She is family now!" I scolded myself. Emmett pushed the door open revealing a sight that if it could, have given me a heart attack.

I couldn't even focus on the exchange of words that took place. All I could see was Bella. I watched her as she lunged for Emmett to give him a hug. Her body was perfect. Her face was absolutely stunning, and here I was sitting here looking like old news, while even my own husband forgot about me. Piercing jealousy clawed at my eyes as I watched the love of my life stand next to this…this creature. "Rosalie, calm down. He only thinks of her as a sister!" She then turned to me, hesitant to ask for a hug hello. Of course I wouldn't deny her- but oh my God! It was as if she didn't even know what she looked like.

"Bella, have you seen yourself yet?" She couldn't have, there's no way.

"What? No, why is it that bad?" She had to be kidding. I kept myself composed and struggled to reply.

"No Bella, you're absolutely stunning, here let me show you."I pulled Bella towards the nearest mirror and watched her as she saw herself for the first time. She didn't respond like I would have though, she just stood there looking confused.

"Bella, that's you. You look amazing!" I mustered together some enthusiasm. I feel bad I have been so…rude to her in the past. I suppose I do want her to be happy. After everything, she deserves happiness.

Bella POV

After saying hello to Alice, Jasper, and Esme, we decided it was time to talk to Carlisle. We waited patiently outside the door to his office while Edward held me at his side. It is so hard to believe I am changed. Something doesn't feel right though! I thought we were waiting for the wedding! "Oh no, 

please don't tell me we were already married and I forgot everything!" No we could not have been, I would never forget anything like that.

"Edward, I don't have a problem with this, but why was I changed before our wedding?" He shifted around uncomfortably. I could tell something was wrong.

"We will discuss this with Carlisle."

At that, Carlisle opened the office door and greeted me with a very fatherly like embrace. It was as if he always was my father. Charlie! "Not now Bella, not now!" I thought to myself.

"How are you feeling Bella?" He questioned.

"A little confused, but I feel great I think." He chuckled.

"Do you have any recollection as to why you were changed, Bella?"

"Carlisle," Edward warned. What was going on here?

"Edward its okay, what happened?"

I sat myself down into a very large leather chair as Carlisle told me what happened. I could barley believe the words that spilled out of his mouth, as if he were reading from a scary novel. Anger and slow depression encased me as my imagination recreated the scene in my head. Although I can't remember this happening, it still hurts me. "Does Edward still...want me?" I began questioning myself

"I just, don't remember any of this happening! Why would he do that to me?" I sobbed.

"Bella, we don't know. There is one thing we do know though, and that is you are safe. We will never let harm come to you. You are now strong and can fend for yourself, but that does not mean that we will stop protecting you."

"Thank you Carlisle. How is Charlie though?"

"He is very distraught. I am very sorry Bella, but there was no other hope for your survival. I couldn't stand ever losing you. I just love you too much." Edward replied with his head down.

"It was going to happen eventually Edward. It's okay. I would never want to be anywhere without you either, so thank you." I kissed him on the cheek. "I just need some time alone, I need to clear my head."

With that I got up from the vortex of a chair and made my way outside to the woods. I needed to get away from this reality that seems so surreal.

Walking in the woods was such a new experience to me. Every shade of green appeared crisper. I could hear everything there was to hear and I felt more able to walk without tripping over things. I sat down on a relatively large moss covered stone and lay my head back against the trunk of a tree. The position 

felt a bit awkward, but I honestly could not care. I just needed to space out and try and make sense of everything that had apparently happened that I cannot seem to recollect.

My senses alerted me, waking me from my comatose like state. A mile or two away I could hear something very faint that gradually became more audible. I quickly identified the sound as footsteps, running footsteps.
