A/N: Hope you Enjoy.. Love the reviews.. And I posted two chapters today because they were shorter then normal...

Please let me take you

Out of the darkness and into the light
'Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far to young
And the best is yet to come

-Lullaby, Nickelback

I had been standing outside Old Man Swans for about five minutes when the front door swung open. A main of brown hair swung around the petite girls shoulders, Bella, and then she hit the ground. I thought she fell at first and almost ran to her but then her shoulders began to shake and her fist tightened on the grass below her.

She was sobbing. And my heart broke for her as she broke down. I took a few steps towards her but stopped when she made her way to her feet again only to take a few steps and pick up something from the ground.

The rock hit the garage with a loud ban.

It only took a few seconds for the front door to swing open again but I was already headed towards Bella. Emmett froze on the front steps when our eyes met. I'm sure he was surprised to see me as I didn't tell anyone that my early leave had been approved. But apparently not early enough.

"Aunt B!"

"Stop!" I shouted at Kaylee but of course she didn't listen. Emmett finally unfrozen himself and caught her around the waist pulling her back to the porch and to a blonde who stood there with a shaking hand hoovering over her lips. I'm sure if there was more light on her I would have seen the scared tears that probably were running down her face.

I caught Bella just as she was about to hit the ground. She was saying 'why' over and over. I held her until her tears ran out. She clung to my shirt for dear life. I was surprised she hadn't hyperventilated yet.

But eventually she did calm down.

I scooped her into my arms and a gasp escaped her lips in surprise but she relaxed and let me carry her.

"What are you, how are-"

"I requested an early leave. It was suppose to be a surprise." I shrugged looking at Emmett. The blonde girl had disappeared along with Kaylee. "Where's Kaylee?"

"Inside with Rose." I nodded. "Rose is Bella's best friend." I glanced down at Bella and noticed she had fallen asleep. I nodded again. "Her room is upstairs second on the left." I took a step but Emmett stopped me. "Welcome home little brother." I couldn't help but smile then.

I woke to a cold nose toughing mine. I opened one eye already knowing it was Kaylee.

"Hi Uncle Eddie." I smiled.

"Hey squirt. Sorry I missed your birthday."

"That's OK, your here now. Is Aunt B OK?" I glanced at the bed seeing Bella still asleep. I hadn't meant to sleep in this chair all night but this damn recliner was amazing. Who the hell puts a lazy boy in a bedroom anyway. "Shes sad. I told her to feel better you have to get the tears out. That's what Mom always said." I laughed at the memory of Erica telling her that. Kaylee had fallen off her bike and scrapped her knee.

"Smart girl you are. But I think she will be OK. She just needs time." Kaylee nodded though I doubt she knew what I meant. "Hungry?" Kaylee nodded and slipped back off my lap and hurried to the door.

I meet Rose and Emmett in the kitchen while being dragged by Kaylee.

"You stayed?" I said looking at Emmett. He grinned from ear to ear and Rose's face went red. "OK never mind, what we makin' for breakfast?"

"I was going to make french toast and hash browns. Its Bella's favorite. I'm Rose by the way."

"Edward," I said shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"Hows she doing?" Emmett asked.

"Um, I don't know. She slept all night though so I'm taking that as a good sign."

"How about a great one. I don't think she has slept that much since she moved here." Emmett and I sat at the kitchen table as Rose handed us each a mug of coffee. Kaylee pulled out the stool to watch Rose start cooking.
