Edward's POV

This is amazing! This is spectacular! This is unbelievable! There are not enough words in the English language – or any other language – that could describe this moment in my life, I thought happily. I felt as though my heart had soared into heaven when I saw Bella, for the first time in ten years. God! She was beautiful, exquisite, Angel-like, gorgeous... as I said before; not enough words to describe the beautiful creature, that, at this moment in time, is holding my hand. I internally sighed, contently. Having Bella's hand in mine felt so perfect, so right, that I never wanted to let go.

It's been a long ten years for me. Nothing has ever made me truly happy. But this moment...

As I wondered aimlessly through the mingling crowd, looking for my two adopted brothers, my mind wandered to the faces of Rosalie, Alice and Bella. The day we left for Chicago; the hardest day of my life. I was only eleven, but the feelings I felt on that day, convinced me otherwise. That day, I felt like an adult. It's the only way to describe it. I'm not even sure if it would make much sense to someone else.

The emotions were so advanced and unknown to me that, it caught me off-guard. I felt all the emotions so strongly that... I was scared.

Seeing Bella's face today, reminded me of those feelings. Because I realized, that the emotions were so strong on that day, because of Isabella Marie Swan. I still do not fully accept or understand the emotions, but I cannot dwell on the subject. What is important now, is finding my brothers, Rosalie, and the Pixie known as Alice. I wonder if she is still tiny... I wondered.

I looked behind me, to check on Bella. She was grinning ear-to-ear and practically glowing...but her eyes were still showing the sadness of the horrific conversation, that occurred minutes ago.

I felt my insides burn as the recent event replayed itself in my mind.

I can't believe Bella, Alice and Rosalie's parents are dead.

Bella looked so broken.

She looked so hurt.

She looked like she was burning.

But she looked...comfortable...in my arms.

Poor Rosalie.

Poor Alice.

Poor Bella.

They must all be burning inside.

I was snapped back out of my thoughts as I heard a loud, obnoxious, happy voice bellow, "ROSIE!?" Emmett...

"I guess Emmett found Rose." Bella giggled, and I had to chuckle along. I can just imagine the bone crushing hug Emmett will be giving Rosalie at the moment, and Rosalie smacking his arm, trying to tell him she can't breath. Ha! (AN: Can you imagine that though? It would be pretty funny...)

"EMMETT! Can't...bre... BREATH!" I presumed was Rosalie screeching at the top of her lungs.

"I'm guessing that...that's Rosalie." I burst into laughter at the thought of Emmett and Rosalie's reunion being exactly like the one I imagined.

Bella joined in my laughter, until a high-pitched squeal came from across the room.

"OH MY GOD! JAZZ!" Pixie...

I looked at Bella who was staring in the direction of the other reunion between Alice and Jasper.

"Pixie?" I asked – more like a statement.

Bella just rolled her eyes and grinned brightly. I took that as conformation.

"C'mon." Bella tugged my arm in the direction of Emmett and Rosalie.

We reached Rose and Em just in time to see Rose kick Emmett in the shin and start yelling stuff about how she needs oxygen.

"EMMETT!" Bella yelled and started giggling uncontrollably as she ran towards him.

"BELLS!" Emmett exclaimed. He opened his arms for Bella to jump into, but Bella managed to trip and fall into his arms instead.

Emmett started laughing so loud that some bystanders eyed him curiously and warily. I had to laugh. People eye him warily because of his size and muscular form, but he's just a big softy... unless he's provoked. I have personal experience.

"Wow, Bella! Your still the practically disabled klutz of a person I know and love! Your funny!" Emmett burst into laughter as he gave Bella one of his famous bone crushing bear hugs. Bella blushed a delicious deep red; I wanted to go and rub her cheek, and feel the heat under my long, pale fingers. She's adorable when she's embarrassed, I thought as I stared at her beautiful Angel face.

Bella rolled her eyes at Emmett as he put her down, and answered, a little breathless, "Did you expect anything else?"

Emmett grinned cheekily and replied, "No" typical Emmett, but I can't say I blamed him. I expected her to be a klutz until the the end of time. I didn't expect her to be as beautiful as she is though.

A couple of seconds later, a flash of black and white flew past me, and smacked right into Emmett. Is that the...

"EMMETT!" The little woman sobbed.

"Pixie...? ALICE!" Emmett shouted. He scooped Alice up into a big bear hug and comforted her by rubbing soothing circles on her back.

"Hey Jasper, Hi Edward," A bell like voice came from my left – next to Jazz. The bell-like voice was pretty, but it didn't compare to Bella's musical smooth voice.

I turned my head to the left and saw a tall, blonde woman, with a simple skin-tight red dress. She had her hair up in a messy ponytail that had many curls. She was very beautiful, but not as beautiful as Bella. Why do I keep comparing her to Bella?

She had piercing ice-blue eyes that I immediately recognized.

Rosalie.

"Hi Rose," I said as I gave her a quick welcoming hug.

"It's great to see you again." Jasper added as I released Rose. He gave her a quick hug like I had and gave her a warm smile, as did I.

"You three have changed so much," Rosalie breathed as she gazed at Emmett, who was currently swinging Alice around with one arm, and Bella with the other. I took in Alice's appearance for the first time.

Alice was tiny, only 5ft maybe. She was wearing a one-shoulder black dress that had swirling white patterns on one side. Her hair was short...but it had been smoothed out so curls could be put in. I'm amazed that that worked. It must be longer than I thought...

Alice was still the lovely, beautiful Pixie-like creature that we left ten years ago. Bella beat Alice in the beauty department. Why am I comparing Alice to Bella?

Rosalie was still the fighter, judging from the kick she gave Emmett that he is still currently rubbing when he thinks no one is watching.

And Bella...Bella is still the klutzy, brown haired, brown eyed – depth less brown orbs – beautiful, blushing, Goddess. Where were all these words coming from? I guess I just missed her so much, that I was emphasizing her appearance.

My eyes roamed over to Bella, and I took in her whole appearance.

My breath hitched as I took in the heavenly being before me.

Bella was wearing a dark blue halter-neck, that went beautifully with her skin, her dress flowed out to her knees where the dress ended. Her hair was loosely curled. The angelic curls screamed out for me to touch them. Her shoes were...Ha! Converse with a wedged heel. So Bella...

She wasn't wearing much makeup. All I could really see was the eyeliner, mascara, and glossy lips that begged for me to kiss them.

These urges were making me slightly uncomfortable. I just wanted to be close to Bella. I glanced at her face, to find her staring intently at me and shifting uncomfortably from one foot to another. I gave her a beaming smile. Bella blushed instantly as she discovered that she had been caught. She looked away, suddenly finding her shoes very interesting.

I chuckled and Jasper looked at me quizzically but I just shook my head, indicating that it wasn't important. Jasper shrugged and turned his attention to the black and white hurricane that, I abruptly realized, was heading towards me.

I braced myself as best as I could in the short time I had to prepare.

"EDWARD!" Alice screeched happily, as she flung herself into my arms. To my surprise, Alice was as light as a feather – well I wasn't really surprised – and the impact from her felt like nothing.

I hugged her tightly and chuckled, "Nice to see you Pixie. How have you been?"

She giggled quietly then added, "Eddie! I've been great! You?" My face turned into a grimace. I despise the name 'Eddie'. When I say it, I feel acid on my tongue.

"Don't call me Eddie, my name is Edward thank you very much." I said as calmly as possible.

Alice giggled then released me.

"Right then...Where are your parents?" Emmett asked, scanning the crowd.

I saw Bella's arms fly up to her sides; squeezing them as if she was trying to hold herself together. She looked like she was burning again. I was burning too, from the loss of Bella's parents and the pained look on Bella's face.

Rosalie stiffened. Her eyes became wide as a tear streamed down her cheek.

Alice ran over to Jasper – surprisingly – hugged him tight and buried her face in his chest. Jasper was taken aback for a second but he responded quickly, hugging her tightly back and stroking her hair.

I walked over to Bella and rubbed reassuring circles on her back. Bella flung her arms around my waist and pulled me close. I hugged her tightly back.

"Where are...what's wrong?" Emmett asked Rosalie concerned. He walked over to her cautiously. When he stood in front of her, Emmett brushed the tears on Rosalie's face with his thumb as he cupped her face in his large hands.

"Emmett..." Rosalie began but a sob interrupted her. She buried her face in her hands and let the sobs consume her. Emmett rubbed her back reassuringly.

"Emmett..." Alice sighed, "Our parents are dead." Alice choked out before violent sobs crumbled her composure.

Bella erupted into painful, violent sobs that cut through me like a knife. I felt tears forming in my eyes, but I furiously blinked them back.

I peeked over at Jasper who I saw was staring at Alice intently, with tears running down his face.

Emmett was frozen, shocked. It took a while for him to reply but he did. He was only able to say one word before tears overtook him.

"Dead?"

So what do you think? It's kind of a cliffhanger... not really...I don't Know.

Anyway,

Please review and be nice. If you don't like it, tell me in a nice way. Oh! And give me any suggestions for the story. I will read them and consider them. If I think a suggestion is good, I'll try and squeeze it into the story.

Bye...x
