A/N: Okay, so just for clarification, I am NOT ending the story. I am just jumping times in each chapter to show pivotal moments or moments I want to embellish on.

A/N: I am so sorry it has taken so long for this chapter. It has been fall break, 2 wisdom teeth out, papers, and exams! Yikes college is kicking my ass!

Age 5 Bella: Thanksgiving

We were currently driving through Colorado and Bella was reading her book. She was trying to read Wuthering Heights, but was having difficulty. She could read other books, but she wanted a challenge.

"Bella, how are you doing?" I asked when I saw her brows scrunch up. She let out a big sigh and closed the book. "I don't think I'm ready for it yet. I can't make it pass the first chapter. Am I dumb Edward?" she asked me.

I pulled into the local Wal-Mart and parked. "Bella, you are not dumb. You are a 5 year old sweetie. Most 5 year olds can barely read See Spot Run, and you are reading books like Romeo & Juliet. You are a bright young girl; you need to have more fun. Yes you like reading, but don't tire yourself out trying to get nowhere fast." I said to her.

She looked up at me and spoke, "Thank you Edward. No one has ever tried to talk me through troubles like you. I guess I am just used to growing up so quick. I forget that I can slow down with you. I'm really am trying, but it's all I know."

I wipe the tears from her face. "Bella, I understand but I am here to help you. I want you to have these moments of childhood before it is too late." I told her. She smiled at me and said, "Thank you so much for being with me Edward. I don't know what star brought you here, but I would kiss it I I had the chance."

I smiled at her and changed the subject. "So it there anything special you want to do for Thanksgiving?" I asked her. She sat there thinking for a moment before speaking. "Can we make the whole meal, you know Turkey and stuffing? Cranberries and yams? All that?" she asked me. "Of course we can Bella. Though, that is a lot of food for you." I pointed out.

She looked at me for a moment and paused before talking. "Can't we donate the rest? I hear there a lot of shelters around Colorado." I couldn't help but think about how that is such a Bella response. Never wanting to waste. "That sounds wonderful Bella."

We have just arrived at the local Safeway. "So do you have a list of things that you'll need?" I asked her.

"Yes, I think I have everything written down." She said as she went to get a cart. Next to the big carts, there were little ones for the kids. "Bella, would you like your own little cart. It says 'Customer in training'" I asked her. She looked at them and smiled. "They are so cute!" she said while she pulled one out.

"Okay, the Turkey first Edward." She said as we went to the back of the store.

I am so tired. And I am a vampire for goodness sakes! Bella and I had just finish cooking everything. We had all the fixings: the turkey, the cranberry sauce, hand-mashed mashed potatoes, homemade pumpkin pie and so on.

After we rested, we came to the table and sat down. "Edward, can I say the prayer please?" she asked. "Of course Bella, go ahead." She grabbed my hand and closed her eyes. I did the same. "Dear Lord, thank you for everything that you have given us. I would personally like to thank you so much for bringing Edward into my life. Amen." When she finished, I could have cried if I was human.

She opened her eyes and asked, "What are you thankful for Edward?" I looked at her and smile, "Everything as well Bella. Everything." She blushed and began eating.

I just sat at the table talking with Bella. She never did question about my not eating or anything. I knew that if she ever did ask, I would not lie to her. I've learned not to hide myself from Bella before.

"Edward?" she asked after she finished eating. "Yes Bella?" I replied. "I was wondering if you wanted to go ahead and take the leftovers to the shelter now. I'm stuffed and I think it's starting to get late." I smiled at her and got up to grab the carry-out bowels.

"Sure, let's get the food separated." I said as she bounced down to the pies. We actually made three, pumpkin, apple, and pecan. Little Bella also had a slice of each.

"Edward? Can I ask you a question?" she asked me. I looked at her and she blushed.

"Anything Bella, what is it?" I replied to her. What she asked, well I wasn't expecting that.

"I noticed this morning around 3 am you were gone. When I went to get ready this morning, I saw your sleep clothes had blood on them. Did something happen?" Oh Crap. I can't lie to her, I promised not to.

"I'm fine Bella. I'm not hurt one bit. How about we take the food to the shelter and I'll explain everything when we get back. I promise I won't hurt you though. Is that okay?" I asked her. I hope she would understand and not be afraid of me.

She looked at me and smiled. "Of course Edward. I know you won't ever hurt me. I trust you."

With that we took the food to the shelters and I got read to reveal all.
