Jaocb's POV-
Abigal's birthday's in a little over a week. Alex won't be here again. She hasn't called in forever too. I'm starting to wonder if she'll ever come back.
"Jake?" I looked over at Emily. "Are you alright?"
"Ya. I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Ya you've been really down latly." Jared said.
"Abigal's going to be three soon."
"She's growing up huh?" Emily said.
"Ya. It's just Alex hasn't called us in the longest time."
"Well maybe she's been busey and havn't been able to get to phone."
"Well I should get back. I havn't really been around for Abby latly."
"Maybe you should be there a little more. For the next few days we'll take partol. Just relax." Sam said.
"Thanks Sam." Then I left and went to the Cullens place.
Bella's POV-
"Abby clean up your stuff ok?"
"Ok." I went in the outside. Emmett and Jasper were wrestling ro somthing. I just leaned against the house and watched.
Jacob showed up after a little bit.
"Hey Jake."
"Hey. I'm off patrol for a while."
"Daddy!" Abigal came running out and hugged Jake. He lifted her up.
"Hey Abby. How are you today?"
"Fine." The three of us walked inside and sat in the living room. We talked for a little bit then the phone rang. Jake and I jumped up and I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey mom."
"Alex?"
Alex's POV-
"Alex?" My mom said.
"Ya. Sorry I know it's been like forever."
"It's fine. I'm glad you called. How have you been?"
"I've been just fine. I still have a ways to go before I come back." I heard someone in the background.
"Alex, Jake wants to talk to you."
"Alright." She handed to phone off.
"Alex?"
"Hey Jake."
"Why havn't you called?"
"I've been busy. When I'm not busy I'm nowhere near a phone. I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I'm just glad to hear your voice again. How have you been?"
"I've been really good. I'm still working on things though."
"So you won't be home for a while?"
"No."
"Well do you want to talk to Abby?"
"Yes thank you." He handed the phone off.
"Hello?"
"Hey Abby how are you doing?"
"I'm good. Mommy when are you coming home?"
"As soon as I can I promise."
"Cross your heart?"
"Cross my heart. I'm sorry I won't be home for your birthday. I'll be sure to call you though ok?"
"K."
"I love you Abigal."
"Love you too mommy."
"Now will give Gramma the phone?" She handed it off.
"Alex?"
"I have to go. I'm sorry but tell everyone I said hi and I miss and love them."
"Will do."
"Thanks." Then I hung up. I walked back into the bar we were at.
"Bet they were happy to hear from you." Victoria said. I sat next to her at the bar. "Have a drink." she handed me a glass and I took it.
"I've really changed."
"That's not always a bad thing."
"True." I took a drink and she did too. "Vampires can drink?"
"this is different. We can't eat anything really but drinking we can. It helps control the cravings when around a large group of people."
"Ok?"
"Just drink up." I chuckled a little bit but drank it anyways.
Jacob's POV-
Can't believe she's not coming home yet. It's been over a year. Almost two now. Abigal looked happy to talk to her.
"Mommy says she going to call on my birthday." She said.
"That's great." I said.
"Speaking of her birthday I wonder if Alice is going to go over board again." Bella said.
"Like she did with her second birthday?"
"It's Alice remeber that."
"Ya. I'm going to look around the area for a little while."
"What for?" She asked picking up Abigal.
"We caught Trey's scent. So I'm just going to see of he's anywhere close."
"Alright."
"It's getting dark so don't let Abby go outside."
"Got it." Then I left.
"Bella's POV-
Jake left and Edward and the guys came in.
"So Alex called?"
"Ya. She says she misses everyone and love you guys."
"I see. How's she doing?"
"She's doing good. She hasn't had any problems."
"That's good to hear." Jasper said.
"Yep well, Abby are you hungry?"
"Ya."
"Alright. Let's go get you somthing to eat." I put her down and we went in the kitchen. I got her dinner and set her in the dinning room to eat.
