This is short but its because I'm making this into a two part series (until BD comes out). It's just soo long and I needed to break it up so people wouldn't be like "What the fresh hell is she doing? I have no idea what is going on."

Thanks Joreyna. You get your own special line. Don't you feel special?

Thanks reviewers. I still haven't found a pic of what Corpus (Aiden) looks like but when I do, I shall post it up on my bio. Thanks for tuning in and switching on. Enjoy.

The air was cool, the breeze whipping through my vintage purple wind breaker as I stepped out from my BMW. Home. I recalled the words of Juno as she rubbed the flower over her impregnated stomach saying, "I never realize how much I like being home unless I've been somewhere really different for a while." It was true, in the kindest of ways. I cracked a weary smile at my house and found the lights to be on. This was where I belonged and I knew it. No matter how they tried to stop me from dwelling on my past, they knew I wouldn't leave. They were my family now.

Esme and Alice appeared in the doorway, their pale faces darkened by the night as their exterior's glowed in the light from inside. I carried my one bag up the steps and smiled at them. "I told you I would come back."

"I know." Alice whispered as she watched my face. She was half expecting me to lie about what I did.

"I went to check up on my sisters and retrieve a ring."

"All of this for a ring?"

My smile faded as I gently made my way past them into the front room. "A wedding ring."

Esme and Alice glanced at each other in suspicion. "Gloria's?"

So Edward had told them the story. I suspected he hadn't told them all of it because I had kept some things to myself, closely under guard, lock and key at all times. "No. Mine."

That freaked them out. "You were married?!"

"Is Carlisle home? I would like to speak with him."

"I'm right here."

I turned around and there was the handsome father who I had secretly missed. I gave him a grin and hugged him. Odd, because I was shy when it came to affection with him. "We need to talk." I didn't whisper it because that would have been a moot point. In a house full of vampires, nothing was kept a secret. Well, there were a few things we blocked from hearing but that was of our own choice.

He nodded and led me up the stairs to his office. It was twilight, the perfect time of evening. Carlisle sat down at his desk while I roamed about, staring longingly at his ancient paintings of era's past, a past that I too had belonged to.

"I brought evidence of Corpus's existence." I wasn't sure how he would take it, but I wasn't going to allow him to speak first. "It's not a painting or a fingerprint, but something which I'll gladly allow you to study. It's from 1555, from my wedding day."

I took off my silver chain and thrust the diamond ring towards him. He didn't speak or make a movement. He just waited for me to say what I wanted to tell him.

"Even if he doesn't exist now, he did exist. I'm sure there are other things I could find by sheer memory. Love letters, gifts, and paintings. But those are not as significant as that. I am a reincarnation and I was married to Corpus Vespacelli. You see, George and Gloria's last name is Hannover. So why, after my transformation, would I change my last name. I had no reason to. I liked Hannover."

Carlisle said nothing to me for quite some time. He was observing my ring, feeling the ridges of it, weighing it in his palm, holding it up to the light and allowing its full shine to blast him. It was like looking at one of us. Sparkly, unbreakable, and cold. He stood after an hour of examination and walked over to me, still eyeing the ancient diamond with inquisition. He placed the silver chain over my head and dropping it onto my chest where it dangled and glimmered.

"Well?" I asked him as he looked up into my eyes.

"I believe you. What would an average woman such as yourself being doing with something that should be in a museum. I believe it was from him, but I don't think he exists anymore."

"Why?"

Carlisle didn't want to answer this. He was hiding his beliefs from me on purpose, to protect me. Rightly so as I was the type of person to run from a confronting situation of tension. I was impeccably afraid of the truth, though thirsting for it more than I would have if I were a human.

"I have my theories."

"And I have ears in which to hear them."

"Very well." He sat back down and I turned back to his paintings. "Edward told me that Heath kept thinking about his dreams. Every time Heath spoke, glanced, or remembered your presence, his thoughts were on your 'death'. Yes, Edward told me."

"You don't need to explain yourself. I understand why you were protecting me. You wanted me to have a simple life, to not be tormented as I had been in my human existence. Well, Carlisle, as you can see there's no danger of that. I am competent in succeeding happiness."

He seemed shocked that I had figured him out. I was oblivious to many things, but motives were something I could guess easily at. But, he was more surprised that I didn't blame him for sheltering me.

I turned to leave but words escaped his mouth before I even had the chance to reach for the door handle. "I know that you are capable of being happy. But, there are needs which you have been neglecting."

My eyebrows rose but I remained facing the door. "Needs?"

"However immortal we may be, we long for a companion."

"I have this family."

"No, Lilly. A mate."

I sucked in air at the word. I don't want a mate. I want Corpus and if I can't have that, then I won't have anything. "Is that another reason for making me feel guilty about Heath?"

"Yes." He didn't pause to give an excuse. "You two match and I was almost positive he would be joining this family."

"Well, he's not going to ever join this family. It's my choice, Carlisle. And if I want to be alone for the rest of my unnatural life, then so be it. I am not going to fall for another because my soul belongs to someone else."

"Corpus is dead."

"I am well aware of that." I was two seconds from breaking something. "Which is why, in memory of him, I shall keep myself chaste."

On my way out the door, I could have sworn he said something along the lines of "Not if Aro can help it", but then again us vampires chose to hear only what we wanted to hear and that was something I most definitely didn't want to hear. Because, what if he was right? I hadn't thought about Aro in months and seeing as I was protected by his coven before my death, it made sense that he would claim me. Right? Or was I wrong? Maybe he just wanted me to kill something and leave. Or maybe…just maybe…I was something much more than this unfortunate innocent. There was a greater purpose for why I was here and Aro had something to do with it.

A/N: Sorry that was really short. But there is most def more to come and I am really sorry superdani, but it's not going to be very happy. The first few chapters are dep-actually the whole flipping thing is effed up to the max. No flipping joke. But, in the end you will see why. (Besides, what's a good story without the depression? (Would New Moon be half as good as it is if Edward hadn't left? Don't think so.) I can only say this, "If you had to sacrifice anything for your love, would you do it?" Bet that gave you goosebumps. Don't lie. It did.
