"hi bells"
she didn't even say anything to me. All she did was run to me and put her arms around me. I just picked her up and brought her into my room so that we could talk.
"their back…..their back" was all that she kept whispering.
"I know I had a small chat with Edward" I told her
she looked at me with a question in her eyes
you made me promise not to tell you if they came back. It was a promise I was completely intending on keeping.
She just gave me a little smile and said "thank you"
She then curled up on my bed and closed her eyes. I knew all to well what that meant. It was not the first time that she pretended to sleep to escape what happened. I just sat down on the floor next to her and gave her the support of me just being there, like I always did.
"Masen is coming back with his friends"
Does HE know??
"No one but Alice does and she promised. But I did see everyone else ad told the story until I told you I was pregnant. I left before Edward came back" she then smiled her smile and said "I'm better at avoiding him then I thought I was."
I just looked at her and we both laughed.

I knew that something was wrong when I saw mom with uncle Jake. She has that look in her eyes, and her smile did not reach her eyes like it usually does. I do not know what the problem is and I hope that I can help fix it. I hate seeing my mom so sad. She was just starting to smile and be happy.
All of a sudden today, she is back to the way that I remember her being. She is just trying to survive. And I know the reason she is surviving, it's because of me.
Mom are you ok?
I'm fine honey…..really
You know I don't believe you
I know
I looked at uncle Jake and he just shook his head. That meant for me to drop the subject before it tears my mom apart anymore then it already has.
It finally dawned on me what the situation could be. I had to ask but I couldn't ask mom so I asked the next person I knew to tell me the truth.
They are back aren't they uncle Jake
Yeah Masen, they are ALL back.
I just knew it. every time mom saw one of their pictured lying around the house she got the same look she had now. It was the look of I wanted to see them but cannot.
Hey uncle jack
Yeah Masen
We're protecting mom from him huh
He just gave me a look that said it is not my fight. But he then realized that it was. He knew that this was my fight as well. He knew as well as my mom and I that Edward Cullen was my father. He just gave me a look that said it is not my fight. But he then realized that it was. He knew that this was my fight as well. He knew as well as my mom and I that Edward Cullen was my father.

Jasper and I came back from hunting and decided our bet was a draw. It has been a while since I had some kind of fun. I almost forgot why I was miserable……almost.
As Jasper and I walked into the house horsing around and having fun. I stopped dead in my tracks. That smell. I know that smell. I got a whiff of it in the meadow and I know I smell it now. I followed the sent ignoring the cautious gazes of my family. When I reached the back door the sent was almost undetectable because of the rain. I looked down and saw a paper lying on the ground.
I picked it up carefully because it was a little wet and started to see what was written on it. I then realized that it was the same letter that I wrote the last time we left. It was the letter I wanted to send to Bella but never had the guts to. So when we left I left it where I was the most happiest. I left it on the bed in my room. I finally realized that when we came back here the note was nowhere to be found and I really didn't think much about it until now.
I slowly walked back into the living room and took one look at my family. Everyone was there except for Alice.
"where is Alice?" I asked
Esme answered "she went hunting on her own for a while"
I just nodded knowing that it was a lie.
Emmett and jasper had the same look on their faces. I knew that look. They were wondering if I was gonna run away, run to her or play the piano.
I just sat on the couch and mumbled "where is she?"
No one gave me an answer and when I searched their minds there was noting of my lost angel in them. I looked around puzzled. And wondering why every single one of them was blocking me out.
Rose was the only one who spoke and said "Edward…." I gave her my full attention.
"what is it Rose?" I asked. I also knew my family was trying to make her not tell me at all.
"Bella was here and told us what happened after we left her." She said
so I asked "what happened to her? Does she want to see me? Why didn't any of you get me when she was here?" I was really starting to get angry.
Jasper tried to calm me down by explaining he had no idea. It helped a little but not much. So I sat and waited patiently for Rose to explain.
