I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a while! I've been working on other stories recently! But I am back baby, and I am better than ever!

Chapter Eighteen:

Esme's Point of View

Living without the ones you love is like living in a giant black hole. And all the ones I love have been there. Yes, I loved Bella. She was my family. I grieved her, and I still do. I miss her warm, human smile. Even her smell is something that I have come to miss.

But, Edward is my family. And he and I were so close, until the day Bella died. It was as if Edward was only there physically, and was no longer there mentally. Even when he was handling his daughter, he was so far off from real life that it was like looking at stone. No feeling flickered across his eyes anymore. On the inside, my son was dead.

Snapping me out of my small train of thought, Carlisle stopped the group. He raised his hand and sniffed at the air. He didn't need to tell me anymore, Alice had been here again. This time, though, there was more than one scent. More then two, even (Alice and Jasper). There were three vampires. For all we knew, Alice had gone totally wild on us, and had found another vampire on the way to add to her…well…I guess now she technically had a coven.

But the scent was familiar. The only thing throwing me off was that damn vampire scent…

Oh…my…god…

Rosalie's Point of View

Yes, I didn't like Bella that much. But if you asked me if I loved her like she was a part of the family, my only answer could be yes. There was no doubt my life would be a total bore without the one and only Bella Swan.

When she died, I wasn't traumatized like my brother. But why would I be? I mean eventually he had to know that she wouldn't make it! She was human, and we were vampire. Predator and prey.

But to the whole rest of the family it was as if the world had stopped spinning. And it was nothing close! Another human died! And yes, there was a shadow of sadness hanging over my heart, especially when I had to look at Edward like he was, but with Renesmee I felt better.

I finally had the child I had always wanted…

"Rose!" Emmett's voice hissed, stopping me in my tracks. Everybody looked mortified, estatic, surprised, happy, and maybe even…relieved? Maybe. But I wasn't to sure. I wasn't good at reading emotions. It wasn't on my list of things to know.

Then I saw what they were all looking at. And let me tell you, I was sure the same emotions were visible in my eyes.

Okay. Here it is. The truth. Bella was like a sister to me, and now, seeing her in the clearing with Alice, Jasper, and Edward…it felt like a family reunion. We were finally all together again. And I felt happy swell inside me.

Woah! Yeah, I know, not me. But who gives a care? Bella's back!

I know, I know! It's short, and it really isn't a great way to say that I'm back. But hey, It's okay! I will update shortly, and I do not like.
