Disclaimer: This is going to be really surprising, I know, but…Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight!!

"So where were you?" Jacob asked me as soon as I stepped through the door.

I rolled my eyes at him. He knew where I'd been; he could smell it on me.

"I just wanted to straighten things out," I explained. "Make sure that they'd behave themselves tomorrow."

He raised an eyebrow at me. I could only imagine the reasons for my leave that he had in mind. Jacob's an idiot sometimes, but he makes my Renesmee happy and I love him for that. He does for Renesmee what Edward used to do for me.

Except that Jake would never leave.

He would never break Nessie the way Edward did to me. He couldn't even think about leaving her for one second. He's worried whenever he's not with her. They're perfect for one another.

Renesmee stumbled downstairs then, interrupted my thoughts.

"Mom, do we have waffles?"

Despite the night's happenings, I smiled. She knew that she'd be doing something incredibly hard today…and she just wanted waffles.

I nodded and looked in the freezer.

"Blueberry or plain?" I asked.

"Uh, plain please." Renesmee's voice was raspy with fatigue. I stuck a couple waffles in the toaster.

When the food was done, she picked at it for a few minutes. She barely ate any of it.

"Human food sucks Mom," she randomly said.

I laughed at her.

"You asked for waffles sweetie," I reminded her. "I didn't force them on you or anything."

She rolled her eyes and shoved a mouthful down her throat. Curious, I picked up a piece. Would this taste good as a vampire?

I plopped a small piece of waffle smothered in syrup into my mouth. Less than a second later, I spat it out.

"Gross," I stated.

Renesmee and Jacob started laughing at me. I cracked a small smile at them.

"Let's go Renesmee," I said. "We have to be at school in like, two minutes."

Nessie hopped off the chair and got her school stuff together. Naturally, I began worrying about the day ahead. Would she be okay? Would she change her mind and try talking to Edward? This was all too complicated. I wanted her to be able to get to know her father. At the very least, that's what she deserved. But if he hurt her….

I shuddered at the thought, quickly pushing it out of my mind. Renesmee said she was ready, and we walked out to the car. She took a second to give Jacob a quick kiss, which I looked away from. Like at the Cullens' home earlier…I wasn't good with watching other couples in love. It hurt me too much.

Driving quickly, we made it to MHS in about five minutes.

"If anything happens…" I began.

"Don't worry Mom!" Renesmee looked exasperated, but understanding still showed on her face. "I'll be fine. I just wish you would be, too."

I smiled at her, but didn't respond. What could I say? Yeah, I wish that too. Or Maybe if your father would get the hell out of our lives. No, that wasn't fair to her.

I drove home much more slowly than I had on my way there. Would everything work out okay? Renesmee would let me know if something happened of course, but I couldn't help worrying.

The smell of spilt human blood caught my nose. It was coming from a car nearby. I couldn't smell anyone else with her…just the girl. She was losing a lot of blood.

I pulled over to the side, and looked into the maroon sedan on the side of the road. I recognized the girl inside as someone from Nessie's school. Rebecca. The two of them were beginning to develop a friendship.

I quickly opened the door. I could see that Rebecca had been hurt and was trying to get herself help. A little too late, obviously.

I called 911 from my small cell phone and reported the crime frantically. I wanted to help her, but what could I do? The police showed up quickly, and I told them what had happened. Of course, I told them I recognized Becca's car and wanted to know why she wasn't in school. I wasn't going to tell them that I was a vampire and smelled fresh blood, obviously.

The officials that arrived insisted I came with them to the hospital until we contacted her parents. If she woke up before they arrived, at least she'd have a familiar face to wake up to. That's what they tried to say, but they obviously just wanted more information.

On the ride there, I told them everything I knew. Why had this happened?

I entered the doors of the ER with the doctors...and who would be treating Rebecca?

Carlisle Cullen. Just my luck.

He nodded at me, but didn't show me anymore recognition than that. The doctors said that Rebecca would be alright, and her parents should be there any minute. I bought a card and some flowers from the lobby downstairs and left them in Becca's room. I also left a note for her and her parents to read.

While I wanted to stay, I knew I couldn't. It hadn't been a bad accident; Rebecca had scraped her arm on a shard of glass though and lost a lot of blood. But she would be fine. Everything would be okay.

I tried to leave, but Carlisle stopped me.

"Bella, I'm glad I caught you." Carlisle was glad he caught me? Sure. My former almost-father-in-law was glad he caught me.

"What do you want Dr. Cullen?" I spoke coldly, but he didn't show any sign of emotion.

He tried to look into my eyes, but I cowardly looked away. I couldn't face him, I couldn't face any of them.

"We are glad to see you, Bella. We've all missed you terribly. From what we'd heard, you died. None of us wanted to leave. We thought it was best for you…" his voice trailed off.

"You thought it was best for me? Carlisle, I thought you were the brains of your family. I was a teenage human girl that was pregnant with a vampire's baby. How the hell is that 'best' for me?"

This time, Carlisle did flinch. "We didn't know."

I shook my head and turned towards the door. He didn't stop me, and I made my way back home. Renesmee would be home soon. At least I'd found a way to busy myself during the day I suppose.

AN. I know this whole thing with Rebecca seems really random. And it is. It's actually really unimportant. I had different intentions when I started it. BUT ANYWAY, the next chapter's a good one, and much more eventful :) REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
