REUNIONS

It didn't take Bella and Molly long to get to the Cullen's house. It was just as beautiful as the one in Forks. Esme had seriously outdone herself with this one. It was spacious with huge glass windows all around the walls. Ivy crept up the side of the house through the red bricks. The garage near the back of the house was open and Bella could see the many cars that Cullen's owned. There was one empty space so she pulled her car into it and opened up the mirror. Molly smiled at her and rested one hand reassuringly on her back.

"Bella everything is going to be absolutely fine. Everyone wants to catch up with you. They love you so much- I can tell," Molly told her.

"I know," Bella said fixing her hair and light make-up, "But that didn't stop them from leaving me the first time."

Molly turned Bella to face her, "Bella, no matter what happens I swear I will always be there for you. I have your back. Sister's for eternity. Don't forget that. I bet there is an explanation for their disappearance as well. Just give them a chance."

"I wish I had as much confidence as you do," Bella sighed.

"Honey, sometimes I just act confident to balance the two of us out. Besides there is no reason for you not to be confident. You are an incredibly smart, breath-takingly beautiful woman who is compassionate and the best sister in the world," Molly stated, "And besides if we do ever run into Edward I will be sure to slap him for you."

"Molly!" Bella exclaimed.

"What? He left you broken. Sisters over misters," Molly said seriously, "Anyways I think the pixie is going to come and drag you into the house if we don't hurry up."

Bella and Molly got out of the car and walked over to the house just slightly faster than a normal human would have. There was a note on the door that said 'COME IN ALREADY WE ARE DYING TO SEE YOU' on it. Bella rolled her eyes- she could tell it was Alice's handwriting. Opening the door she and Molly walked into the grand house and looked around. It was so different from their house, which was pretty of course but compared to this seemed like a dump.

"Hello?" Bella called.

Immediately several people ran into the hallway from all different parts of the house. Alice practically threw herself down the stairs in order to hug Bella first and Emmett who had been on the second floor of the house, jumped over the railing and landed lithely on his feet in front of her. Rosalie was filing her nails but looked up and smiled genuinely at Bella. Esme had rushed from the kitchen to greet her. Bella had no idea why she loved her kitchens so much considering that nobody in the family ever needed it or ate food for that matter. Carlisle had opened the door of his study and walked quickly to join his family who were all bubbling with happiness.

"Yay you're here!" Alice squealed, "I can't wait to play Bella Barbie although it does look like your sense of style has improved."

"Actually that would be me," Molly laughed, "If I allowed it Bella would wear sweats all day and throw her hair up in a ponytail."

Bella rolled her eyes, "I am not that bad anymore. You have rubbed off on me a bit over the years Molls."

Emmett came next and crushed her into a hug, "Bella! My favourite not so clumsy anymore vampire that was a human. I have to show you my new pet."

"Your new pet?" Bella asked quizzically.

"Yea, he adopted a spider names Peter," Jasper rolled his eyes.

"As in Peter Parker?" Bella asked.

"Well duh! What else could you name a spider?" Emmett said exasperated.

Jasper rolled his eyes again and gave Bella a quick hug, "It's very nice to see you again Bella."

"Same to you Jasper," she smiled.

Esme practically pushed the other's out of the way before almost tackling Bella with her hug, "Oh my! Bella I am so happy you are here. Things just haven't been the same without you around. Everything fell apart. You probably don't even realize what type of an affect you had on our family. You are so important to us Bella. Can you ever forgive me for actually leaving? I still can't believe we rea..."

"There was never anything to forgive mom," Bella smiled as she looked up into Esme's eyes, "I always knew it was inevitable."

She looked confused, "What do you mean?"

"I mean that I was the pesky human who always needed saving. I was never what Edward needed and I respect that. I'm pretty much at peace with that," Bella shrugged, "You would have left in another year or two anyways and Edward never wanted to change me into a vampire. That should have been my first sign."

Esme looked positively horrified, "Is that what you think? Bella you have it all wrong honey. We love you. We always have and we always will. You were never the pesky human who needed saving. If anything you saved us. You changed our family for the better in ways you didn't even realize. As for not being what Edward needed I should probably let you hash that one out with him but honestly how could you even think that? Edward loves you more than anything in this world or the next. I really think you two need to talk."

"I'm not ready to see him yet. I just..." Bella tried to explain.

"Whenever you are ready dear. No one is rushing you," Esme said calmly.

Carlisle put an arm around Esme's shoulders, "So I haven't seen you at the hospital lately Bella."

Bella laughed, "Well that is a refreshing change don't you think?"

Carlisle laughed, "Of course. Emmett was very disappointed that you aren't clumsy anymore. Esme of course scolded him greatly for that comment but he wouldn't be Emmett if he didn't say something like that."

Rosalie glared at Emmett, "Sometimes he just can't help himself. It's like he has no filter on what he says."

Emmett made a puppy dog face and turned to Rosalie, "But that's why you love me right Rosie?"

She laughed, "Of course Emmett, of course."

"I feel so rude," Esme gasped as she noticed Molly, "Hello, I'm Esme. Welcome to our home. We can't thank you enough for taking care of Bella."

Molly smiled softly, "She is very special. I'm Molly Armstrong. Pleasure to meet you."

Carlisle and the rest of the Cullen's all greeted her as well and soon they had moved into the living room and had all gone to sit in their respective seats. The conversation was bubbling before long and everyone was sharing stories about the past fifty years of their lives. Rosalie and Emmett had gotten married again and spent their honeymoon in Brazil- partly so that they could check up on Edward who had been there for about seven years. Alice and Jasper had gone to university again and Alice had even taught dance for a few years for fun. Esme and Carlisle had also taken a trip around Europe for a few years and came back to fix up their current house. There was very little talk of Edward for which Bella was grateful for. Soon the Cullen's were asking her and Molly about their lives.

"So how were you changed Bella?" Carlisle asked.

"Well I had gone to England as a graduation present from Charlie. I really needed the chance to clear my head and get away from everything so I decided to go. While I was there it was really rainy one night and I was walking on the sidewalk when someone lost control of their car and hit me. That's when Molly came along. She changed me and we have been together ever since," Bella explained.

"Who else is in your coven? Is it just the two of you?" Esme asked.

"Well, Bella and I were alone for the first ten years of so and then we met the Harper's. They were a coven in the north of France and we stayed with them for a few months but one thing led to another and we moved on. Two years later we met up with another small group called the Jameson's and we were with them for almost five years. We decided to move on again and went to Nunavut for almost seven years. It was difficult and soon we had to leave because we looked so young. Anyways after that we stayed with the Hanson's, Carson's and then finally the Roses'. I think we were the closest to staying with the Rose family permanently but in the end we left and now it is just the two of us," Molly rhymed off all the families they had been with.

"Why didn't you stay with any of those covens?" Alice chimed.

"We never really belonged with any of them I suppose. We always ran into some sort of problem," Molly said vaguely.

Emmett looked confused, "What type of problems?"

"Emmett!" Rosalie hissed.

"No it's okay," Bella said, "Well it really came down to the fact that a few of the men were interested in us and we just never returned their affection. That or I had a bit of a breakdown and needed to leave. Molly would never let me go by myself so I dragged her around with me."

"Breakdowns?" Alice asked.

"It's nothing really. Don't worry about it," Bella shrugged, trying to ignore the concerned looks on the Cullen's faces, "I'm fine."

"So Molly how were you changed?" Carlisle asked curiously.

Bella turned to Molly as she started, "Well, when I was about sixteen my mother was very sick. She had cancer and we moved her across the country so that she could get the best treatment possible. My father had been out of the picture for quite a few years. My parents were divorced but he had remarried and started a whole new family. I hadn't heard from him since I was seven. My brother and I did everything we could for her. My brother was eighteen at the time and he dropped out of school to support us and help pay for mom's treatments. He insisted that I stay in school and wouldn't let me drop out too so I got a part-time job and worked practically from the time I left school until midnight most days. I was exhausted but I had to do it. My brother, James, and I lived like this for about a year before things spiralled out of control. My brother died in a car accident a few months after my mom did. My only relative was my father and I got sent to live with him. I was still a minor so there was nothing I could do about it. I lived with him for two years but he was so distant from me. It was like I wasn't even family. I had three half-siblings- Julie, Kara and Caleb. I felt like I was intruding on their perfect little life so as soon as I was legal I moved out. When I was eighteen I met this guy, Ian. He was great and I fell in love with him but he was a vampire. So when I was nineteen the Volturi found out about us and they killed him. Apparently he had done this sort of thing before and hadn't listened to their warnings. They offered me a choice. I could die or become a vampire so obviously I picked the latter."

If Esme could have cried she would have at this moment, "That's horrible."

"I got over it," Molly shrugged, "I went through a bit of a rebellious stage but I got my head on straight."

Bella had leaned herself against Molly and taken her hand, "We had each other. We could get through anything."

Alice smiled and then suddenly her eyes hazed over. She was having a vision. Everyone turned to her. She looked so concentrated but frustrated at the same time. When she broke out of it Bella sent her a questioning look.

"What did you see?" Bella asked.

"I think your powers are screwing up my visions. I thought I just saw..." Alice started and then gasped as someone shut the front door loudly and entered the room.

Bella turned around slowly to face whoever it was. Her eyes went wide as she realized who it was. She felt like she was going to faint.

"Bella?" the voice said, emotion cracking through their silky smooth tone.

Hope you enjoyed it. new chapter soon.
