I felt my breathing hitch when he put 'Love Edward'. I put the letter in the bottom of a drawer in my nightstand. I was sure to respond tomorrow.

I burrowed deeper into my bed as I heard my parent's voices raise louder. I covered my ears as I realized they were fighting. Bad. I laid there for hours blocking them out until finally I heard some clatter in and then hard footsteps. Next thing I know the front door slammed.

I woke up with a headache. I rang the bell for Mammy to come.

She brought me some medicine and a wet cloth. She looked at me sullenly when she walked in. I didn't want to know who left last night.

After a while of staring out the window, my headache finally disappeared and I walked around the house. Looking for mother. "Mom?" I shouted as I walked out of my room. I needed her help with picking a dress for today. "Mother?" I bellowed, annoyed. Normally she would let me know before leaving. I felt tears in my eyes. I blinked through them and opened my parent's bedroom door.

I looked through the drawers that are supposed to hold her stuff. They were empty. I gasped.

I crouched down on my knees. "Mammy!" Her heavy footsteps echoed through the house until she stood in front of me. "She left?" I asked breathlessly. Mammy nodded. I burst into tears in a matter of seconds.

April 9th, 1865. 4 years later.

"Bella!"

"Yes?" I shouted from inside the wagon. I sat in there fanning myself and rubbing my swollen belly.

"It's over!" Jacob exclaimed. "It's over!" I sat upright, placing my also swollen feet on the unsturdy wagon floor. When we first headed west, there was a hole in the floor, and I always stepped in it. Jacob tries to patch it up, but every few months, you can see through it again.

"What's over? Oh and honey! We need a new wagon! I can't be walking into holes like this," I gestured to my belly when I walked out.

"We can get out of here!" He said throwing his hat in the air.

I stared at him. "What are you talking about?" I asked exasperated.

"I just went into town, and Lee surrendered! The war is over!" He said breathlessly. I screamed and hugged him tightly.

A couple months after my mother left all those years ago, things got bad. I learned that Edward was missing. They never found him and said he was probably dead. I never showed anyone my heart break over that. Not even Rosalie. I watched my world slowly fall apart. Alice and I became great friends, and I then had to leave when the men from the north started coming in and attacking our town. My dad sent me to head west with a man name Jacob. He was supposedly the son of an old family friend. I wasn't very fond of the idea at first. I mean what 17 year old girl would like to go with a poor pioneer out west in a wagon. It took us forever to finally reach California. Almost two and a half years. I think I complained the whole time about how if we took a train it would have been faster.

I don't know when it happened exactly (It was so easily to lose track of time out there), but eventually Jacob asked me to marry him. I said yes, because I knew I was falling for him. I grew to love him I guess. Then we decided to slowly head back home. We met up with Sam, Emily, and their kids a long the way. Right now we are in Texas, the Uley family is going to come home with us, to start a new life.

That night at dinner Sam and Jacob talked about how they are going to try to move as fast as they can. That means that Emily and I would have to go into town tomorrow to get enough supplies to last us until we get home.

I nodded.

I continued my conversation with Emily about how she was excited for her fourth child. They have all boys so far. I hope I have a girl after being around all these men. We were both picking out our top baby names while I felt some small pains in my stomach. I clutched it lightly. Jacob noticed I wasn't feeling very good, and grasped my hand. I smiled at him. I felt better after a few minutes, and then we all settled into camp.

I wrapped my arms around Jacob we laid down on the heap of blankets. "I miss home." I murmured.

"Just remember," He said sweetly, "It's not going to be the same." I closed my eyes.

"I know." I said dryly. I nuzzled into him and fell into a peaceful sleep.

The minute we woke up in the morning, Emily and I got ready and brought along her youngest, John, along with us. I held him the most because he was just the sweetest thing. I swear he is the only baby who is quiet all the time.

We walked into an apothecary. I recognized the person behind the counter. Her back was turned toward us, getting something from shelf. I gave Emily back her son and then walked right up to the counter and stared at the blonde wavy hair. I noticed a few gray hairs.

Turn around. I prayed.

I even recognized the dress she was wearing. I was with her when she bought it.

Then she turned around slowly.

I stared at her blue eyes and knew immediately that my thoughts were true.

"Mother." I murmured.

"Bella." She replied just as surprised. I smiled on the inside. She's never called me by my "improper" nickname.

I saw tears well up in her blue orbs before she turned and whispered something to someone at the counter. She hurried out and over to me. She stood there taking me in for a second. She pointed to my stomach and smiled.

"You are-"She gasped. I nodded. "I'm going to be-" I nodded again.

Then I felt anger wash over me. "Why did you leave me?" I asked softly. She didn't say anything, instead just stood there still. "I'm your daughter! You are not supposed to leave them alone! To fight for herself! You knew that father would be to busy with helping out, yet you still left! Why couldn't you try for once! Instead of being a stuck up, rich old, woman!" I threw in her face. I saw her face freeze into one of hurt. "I hate you." I sputtered.

I saw Emily stare at me in awe. "Come on lets go." I said as I stomped away from the store.

As we walked back to camp, with all the supplies, I pushed John in his carriage. "Am I going to be a terrible mother like her, Emily?"

She looked at me with her lips in a tight line. "No." She said simply. "You will be wonderful." She hugged me and we continued.

We turned a corner and saw Sam running towards us frantically. I stopped dead in my tracks.

Where's Jacob?

"Bella!" He screamed. I couldn'td utter any words. "There was an accident!" My mouth fell open. "He's dying!" Sam choked out.

My name is Bella Black. I repeated to myself to calm myself down as I ran back. I fell in love with Edward. But it was too late. He was already dead. Then I finally fell in love the right way, and now Jacob is going to be gone too. And I'm pregnant with his child.

A/N: I think you guys may be able to figure out where this story is heading... and no Jacob will not be an important character at all.
