Edward sat at his mother's bedside,watching her struggle to breathe. Cancer...it was an insidious disease, spreading little by little until the doctors had told them it was simply a matter of time. And now, it looked like Esme's time had come to an end.

Her frail hand clasped in his, Edward cried silently, willing her to be at peace. His father held his wife's other hand, murmuring softly even as she took her final breath. Carlisle spoke quietly to Edward.

"Tell your wife you love her, son. Tell her every day."

Edward pulled himself together and did just that.
