Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does.
A/N: I had to change something or this story wouldn't be able to go anywhere. So now Bella IS friends with Jacob. It changes nothing in the story yet; all I did was change my A/N from the first chapter. Now, instead of saying: (Note: this takes place in New Moon, Edward has left, it has been about four months, and Bella is still depressed. She has not gone to see Jacob yet.) It says: (Note: this takes place in New Moon, Edward has left, it has been about four months, and Bella is still depressed. She is friends with Jacob, but doesn't know that he is a werewolf yet. They are at that point where they aren't speaking right after his change.) Sorry if this bugs anyone.
And thank you very much to my new Beta, Global Conquest-er!! I heart your awesomeness!!

I was nearly overwhelmed with happiness as I looked into the faces of my family and the room was washed with a wave of calm by Jasper; however, it did not help Alice, who was practically bouncing with excitement. Emmett had a big, goofy grin on his face, which granted him a look from Rosalie. Carlisle smiled at me, and Esme came over and gave me a hug.
"We've all missed you so much, Bella. How have you been?" she asked. I smiled back at her and replied, "Much better now that I'm with Edward. I've missed you, too." I didn't miss the pained expression on Edward's face at my comment. I remembered him telling me that he would never forgive himself for leaving me when we were talking earlier and realized how my comment must have hurt him. Jasper noticed my change in emotions and washed the room in calm again. I smiled at him and he nodded in return.
"That's good, dear. Please, come and sit down. We have so much to talk about!" Esme said as she ushered us all to the living room.
I was finally able to take in my surroundings and looked around me. The living room looked very much like the living room at the house back in Forks, with a few minor changes. There was new furniture surrounding a television larger than the one at the other house. I looked at Emmett as I pointed at it and his smile got even bigger as he nodded. Of course Emmett would get the best on the market. Edward and I sat down on the couch with Carlisle and Esme. Emmett and Rosalie shared the loveseat with Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Alice both sitting on their partner's laps.
"So Bella, tell us everything that you have been up to lately." Esme said.
"Actually, nothing. I would much rather hear about what you guys have been up to." I said. I didn't want them to be upset about how I had been since they left.
"Well, things have been pretty boring around here with no clumsy humans around to make fun of." Emmett said, earning a smack on the back of the head from Rosalie. "I was just kidding, Rose. Lighten up." He muttered under his breath, but Rosalie heard, earning him another smack. I chucked at the scene in front of me as Carlisle continued.
"Things have been pretty quiet around here as well." They were all silent for a few minutes, probably thinking about how Edward had been since they left. Jasper was going to start getting annoyed with me if he kept having to calm us all like this.
We spent the rest of the afternoon catching up. It was wonderful to be with them all again.
I learned that Edward really had been just as bad as I had been while we were apart. He had tracked Victoria for a while, but gave up after he found that he wasn't any good at it. After that he didn't do anything other than sit up in his room and listen to music.
They all looked just as grateful to have me back as I was to be back with them. Even Rosalie was being nice to me. After hours of talking, Edward and I headed up to what was now our room. I unpacked all of my things as Edward just stared at me from his spot on the bed.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" I asked him.
"I'm sorry, I just can't believe that you're really here." I smiled as I walked over to him. He pulled me into his lap and whispered into my ear, "I love you, Bella. I'll never leave you again. I pray that you can forgive me."
"Of course I can, Edward. I love you, too." I whispered back. He smiled at me before pulling me into a kiss. We stayed in each other's arms the entire night.
I found myself thinking that I would stay like this for an eternity if I could. I rested my head against his chest and sighed happily. We did have an eternity together, and I knew that we wouldn't waste one minute of it.
A/N: Sorry for shortness, wasn't much I could do with them just talking. I promise that things will get more exiting soon. Review!!
