Author's Note: Hello all! I am finally back and better than ever. All that work has put me in the mood to write. YAY! First things first, her are some questions that were asked in my absense.
Questions
This one's by luvs2danc
1. still don't completly understand Desires adversion to Edward. And i think its a little crazy for Jacob to warn his daughter against Edward when he was her, Bella's, one true love. Did he do it out of jelousy? or did he think she had healed and that he would only make it worse if he came back? or better yet was Jacob just warning her against the vampire race? - but goodness what a load to but on a childs shoulders to have her protect her mom and Jacob had to know that if a vampire got in her way that she would fight it, because of what he said - did he want her to do that?
Jacob did all of this because he saw the way Bella was after Edward left her, and he wanted to make absolutly sure that it wouldnt happen again, after all, he knew his little girl could handle one vampire by herself. He was training her before she even knew that it was what he was doing.
It was also to protect her against vampires that he knew would hurt her. But mostly about Edward. :D

2. I got confused with the whole Rae part, who's POV was it in?
The begining of the last chapter was told in Zane's (Angela's boy) POV. And it's Ree, But pronounced Rae. Sorry to correct you, but if I deside to do another chapter in his POV, I don't want you confused!
On with the story.
Rosalie's POV
"You are not welcome here."
"Well, your mother invited us, so I guess you're wrong, aren't you?"
"Get out. Now."
"No I don't think I will."
Then the little angel hit him in the face. With an open hand.
Wow, who knew that Desiree could do that? She seems like a sweet child though.
There was some tension in the room until Emmett said, "Wow, who knew that Edward could be beaten up by a child?"
Everyone laughed, except Bella, she grabbed Desiree's hand and pulled her over and into her arms and said, "Des, why did you hit our company?" It sounded like she was growling instead of talking.
"Mommy, to be honest, I don't think he's 'our' company. I think he's here to see you." Desiree's voice had gotten colder and even made me shivver and that doesn't happen that often.
Bella's face had turned bright red and was grinding her teeth and said, "Dear, you have two options, and please chose wisely. One, you can say your sorry to Edward and stay down stairs. Or two, you cannot say sorry and go upstairs and not come down for rest of the night. Make your choice before I do."
"Well, if that's the case I chose to go to bed. Night." She went around and hugged all of us. Except Edward and Bella. She pretended that they weren't even in the room.
When she got to me I bent down and hugged her tight and whispered,"Night, dear. I'll come up in a few minutes to say goodnight, k?" She shook her head up and down while I continued, "You're sure giving Edward a run for his money, aren't you?" As I smoothed down her hair, she smiled again.
Then she walked up the stairs without another word.
"Wow," Carlisle smiled, "where did she get that from? Because I don't think you could ever be like that, even at her age."
"Well, she is her father's daughter." She shrugged she shoulders and tried to pretend that the fact that her daughter didn't hug her goodnight didn't bother her. But you could tell it did because she was almost about to cry. Edward tried to wrap his hands around her shoulders but she shoved them away.
She glared at him and said, "Nice try. I should have expected it though. It's just like you to try to do something like that when I'm in pain." She spit the words out and made it sound like she was trying to kill him with them.
"I wou--"
"Save it." She turned to the rest of us and said as calmly as she could, "You guys make yourself at home. I'd offer you something to eat or drink, but I know that it would be waisted." She smiled while she cried. "I'll be in the bathroom real quick so don't leave." I know she was trying to make it so we couldn't here, but I heard her mutter "Like last time." Thank goodness I was the only one who heard it.
She walked away to go to the bathroom and I said, "Edward, you bastard, what do you think you are doing? Don't you see that that was the worst thing you could have done? Harvard was totally waisted on you." I started to walk toward the stairs as I said that.
When I followed her scent into her room, there was another smell that started to break the heart that I thought would never hurt again. She was crying. I walked up to her and hugged her as tight as could without breaking her. She buried her head into my shoulder and started to cry harder than she was before.
Again, I started to smooth her hair down and she whispered, "I hate him."
I had a good feeling that I knew who she was talking about.
"I know sweetie, but I have a feeling that he's going to be here for quite a long time." I knew this was hurting her, but it would hurt more if I gave her false hope.
She started to growl that inhumane growl that she has and muttered darkly, "Not if I have anything to do with it." She started to cry louder than she had before.
"Hush, now. It's going to be ok. I promise. Sweetie, here's the thing though. If Edward leaves, we have to, too. It's sort of an all or nothing deal."
"No it doesn't, mommy would work something out." She sounded so determined for it to be true even though we both knew it wouldn't work that way.
"Why don't you give him a chance? Sure he can be a jerk, but it might be the best thing for all of us."
She looked doubtful, but said, "I could try."
"Good. Now, why don't you go to sleep?"
"Sure Aunt Rose."
It felt like forever, but I had finally gotten her to sleep and headed back down stairs.
The family were all down stairs in the livingroom and Edward was trying to talk Bella into taking him back, but she was ignoring him even though he was using every trick in the book that he owned.
"Bella, you mean the world to me."
"Well, find a new world. Or better yet, another distraction." Edward finched as she said that.
"Now, Bella, you know you don't mean that."
"Actually, I think I do." Bella crossed her arms like a five year old.
I tried to hold in my laughter, but it was way to much to hold it in, so I didn't. I walked over to Emmett and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and sat by him. "Emmett, I have a feeling that this could last awhile. Why don't we go do something..."
Emmett raised an eyebrow, grabbed my hand, and pulled me out of the house as fast as he could. We both had smiles on our faces as we ran to the car.
(Author's Note: This chapter is going to be longer than usual since I was gone so long. Now the chapter is in Desire's POV.)
I knew I shouldn't have done it, but I pretended that I was asleep so that Aunt Rose would leave so that I could think about what she had said to me.
They wouldn't leave me. At least, as long as Edward was there. I guess I could learn to get along with him. Maybe there was a way we could both win.
Then I remembered Daddy saying, "If something does happen, take care of your mother. If someone that smells bad and is very cold tries to be more than friends with your mommy, I want you to take care of it, k?"
But what if mommy would be more happy if I didn't listen to daddy? What if we all would? Wouldn't daddy want her to be as happy as she was with him?
Another time I remembered daddy saying to Uncle Embry one night when he thought that I was asleep, "You should have seen her, Embry. She brought new meaning to the word broken. If it weren't for Desiree, we probably wouldn't had come as far as we have."
What if that happened again? What if it happened if because either that leech hurt her, or mommy forgot how to love?
"If it would had gone on longer, I have a good feeling she would have forgotten everthing she once knew. Her name, her personality, her heart, her blush, everything."
Can you heal from something like that more than once? Would mommy even have the strength to take care of us?
"When I found her, she was on the side of the road crying 'Please don't,' over and over again. It broke my heart. Even more than when my mother died. If I hadn't found her, she would have died."
Could Edward take care of mommy the way daddy did? Would he even want to?
"That bloody leech ruined her. I would have ripped off his head if I could find him."
Would he want to take care of me? He already told me that he hated me. Could I put myself through all of that day after day for mommy?
"Pup? What are you doing up? You should be sleeping." Daddy had picked me up. "Tomorrow's going to be a long day." Daddy kissed me on the head and hugged me as tight as we both could stand.
Maybe for mommy I could. Maybe I could give up that little bit of my heart to make sure that mommy could be happy. Maybe, for her, it might be worth it.
(Author's Note: Ok, now we are going to do Edward's POV)
There had to be a way to get her back. Even if I had to walk to the other side of the world just to prove to her that I loved her more than anything ever created. She ment the world to me and she didn't even realize it.
"Bella, what if I told you that I hadn't felt whole since I had last seen you?" I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the kitchen. Then I picked her up and put her ontop of the island and looked into her eyes, hoping that she would listen to me now that we were alone.
"I would tell you that you are a liar and a cruel person to tell me this since we both know that you are going to leave me the next time something happens to me." She tried to get down, but I wouldn't let her.
"What if I told you that I had no intention on leaving?" I wanted to hold her so badly. More than anything in the world, but she had pushed me away once tonight already.
She smiled at me and said, "Well, then I'd say that you have major work to do."
Hopefully it was a good sign that she smiled, but I had a feeling it wasn't.
"Because, lover, I am soon to be involved in a new relationship."
It felt like my heart, which had started to heal somewhat from seeing Bella, was being ripped out of my chest again. I knew it would hurt me even more to ask but I did anyway. "Who?"
"Eric."
My jaw dropped.
Before I could say anything, there was a small warm hand pulling on my jeans to get my attention. I looked down, and there stood Desiree. She looked like she had been crying though. Even if the child had been mean and spiteful to me, it still hurt me to see something so pretty in pain.
I bint down so that we were eye level. Hopefulls she didn't plan on hitting me again. "What do you need, Mutt?" Even though my words were harsh, I said it as lovingly as I could stand. She flinched a little bit and it hurt me deeply. She looked so much like Bella.
"Mr. Edward, can we talk for a moment? It's kind of important." She didn't even wait for an answer as she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the hallway. "Mr. Edward? If I promise that I won't stand in the way between you and mommy, do you promise in return not to hurt her?"
I couldn't believe I was having this conforsation with a five year old. "I swear on pain of death that I would never hurt her. I couldn't"
"Do you promise to love her? And except me?"
The last one would be hard but I said, "Yes."
"Well, then, Mr. Edward. I think we have a deal." She stuck her hand out, expecting me to take it.
"What deal is that?"
"I'll help you win back mommy, stupid."
