Hmm…tissue warning, I'm guessing. Not totally sure.

BPOV

"This is the last call for Flight 129 to Seattle. Last call for Flight 129." The loudspeaker blared, and Edward and I hurried to hand over our boarding passes and then quickly found our seats on the plane.

We were going home to tell our families about my cancer. Edward and I had left the kids and the dog at home with a friend of ours, and we were headed on our way to stay in Seattle for three days. Edward had taken off work, so that wasn't a problem, but I still felt terrible about leaving the kids so soon after we had broken the news to them.

"Hey, are you alright?" Edward asked me as the plane started to take off.

"Yeah." I whispered, staring straight ahead. "I was just thinking."

Edward's hand found mine and he squeezed gently. I could feel his eyes on me, but I didn't turn my head. "It's going to be okay." He assured me. "With chemo or maybe even surgery…everything is going to work out."

"You don't know that." I whispered, tears filling my eyes for the thousandth time since we had gotten the news. "I could die. I could leave you and Emmet and Alice-"

"Stop saying that." Edward said through his teeth, interrupting me. "You're not going to die."

I nodded, simply not having enough energy to argue.

"There she is! How's my little girl?" The second Edward and I stepped off the plane, I heard my mother's voice. And out of nowhere, she suddenly had her arms around me.

"Hey, mom." I hugged her back and then pulled away slightly and looked down. I didn't really want her to see the dark bags under my eyes; the result of way too many nights staying up late worrying. "I've missed you." I said, and Edward touched my arm gently, comforting me.

I spotted my dad and my older brother Emmet hanging back slightly with huge smiles on their faces. "Hey, Bells." My dad said, walking forward and giving me a quick hug. "We've missed you too." I smiled again and then glanced over at Emmet, who, to my surprise, was holding hands with a beautiful blonde woman and grinning at me expectantly.

As Edward and my parents exchanged greetings, I hurried towards my big brother and threw my arms around his neck. "Em! It's so great to see you!" I exclaimed as he lifted me up into the air and twirled me around quickly.

"You too, little sister." Emmet said in his deep voice, the one I had missed so much.

I hadn't seen any of my family members in over a year, and I haven't been here to see them since Alice was born. I wished I could see them more often…but there just was too much to do.

"Who's this?" I asked, gesturing to the blonde woman as the six of us walked to the parking garage. Since we were only staying for three days, we had easily fit all of our things into our carryon bags; not wanting to pay all the extra money for luggage. We had to save all the money we could in order to pay my hospital bills, thanks to our lousy insurance deductable.

"This is Rosalie Hale." My brother said proudly, a big smile on his face. "My girlfriend."

It was about time Emmet got himself a girlfriend- since we were in high school he's never been serious about any kind of relationship. Now that he's thirty one, it's fine time for him to settle down.

"Oh, Em, that's great!"I exclaimed as we approached my mom's van. "Hi, Rosalie. I'm Emmet's younger sister Bella." I introduced myself and she stuck out her hand, which I shook. "And this is my husband Edward." I added, climbing into the van.

Edward and I sat in the very back while Emmet and Rosalie took the middle.

"Hi." Rosalie said, her voice high and musical. "It's so nice to meet you- Emmet has told me so much about you and Edward." She said, and I flicked the back of Emmet's neck.

"What have you been telling her, Em?" I asked teasingly, flicking him again. "Lies?"

Emmet winced and clutched the back of his neck, pouting as he did so. "Hell no, Bells! I'm way too afraid of you and your freaking pitbull over here to ever badmouth you."

I laughed and so did Edward. But the term 'pitbull' was actually quite fitting. I had never met a more defensive man than Edward, not by a long shot. He always found a way to take care of me if I was hurting. And right now…I'm really hurting.
