Gabriella POV

"So how is everything going there?" my mom asked from the other end of the line. I had been with the Cullens for a few days, and Alice expected Victoria to come tomorrow, so I called my mom to talk to her, just in case anything happened.

"It's great!" I replied. "...hey, mom?" There was something I had been wanting to ask her and I finally was going too.

"Yes sweetie?"

"Well, I was wondering something..." I said, almost chickening out. The only thing that gave me strength was Edward standing right next to me playing with my hair, pretending not to listen.

"What's that?"

"Well, I was wondering. Is it okay with you?"

"Is what okay with me?" she asked. I took a deep breath and finally asked her.

"Me and Edward?" It was dead silent on the other end of the line. After a few minutes she answered.

"Well, don't tell your father, but yes." She said. I could tell it was hard for her to say. "I mean, Edward is an amazing guy. If I couldn't have him, I'm glad my daughter can. I know you will be happy with him because he is amazing, and I can trust that he will take care of you." When I heard her say this, I smiled and a silent tear slid down my cheek. Edward wiped it away. I looked up at him and saw on his face a mixture of pain but relief. I could tell he was still upset with what he did by leaving my mom, but he was happy that she was, in a way, forgiving him.

"Kay. Thanks mom. Good luck tomorrow."

"You too hun." She said. Just as I was about to hang up the phone, she surprised me. "Would you mind if I spoke to Edward?" when Edward heard this he stiffened.

"Um... okay?" I said, handing the phone to Edward. Reluctantly, he took it.

"Bella?"

Bella POV

"Kay. Thanks mom. Good luck tomorrow."

"You too hun." I replied. I knew she was about to hang up, and I couldn't believe I was about to do what my heart was telling me to do, but I had to do it. Taking a deep breath, I spoke a single sentence that I never believed I would say again.

"Would you mind if I spoke to Edward?" there was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Um... okay?" I heard her hand the phone over and within a second I heard a soft velvet voice.

"Bella?" When I heard him speak it, I started silently sobbing. I had waited to hear him say my name for 20 years, and now, finally I did. This was not why I was crying though. When I heard him say my name, a realization fell over me. It was what I had hoped would happen. In the second I heard his voice, I realized that I didn't love him anymore, at least in the way I had before. I still loved him, but in a way more like family. I realized that I could now fully commit to him loving my daughter now instead of me. Now everyone would be happy, and my life truly would be complete. With a soft smile spreading across my lips, I finally spoke.

"Please take good care of her." Was all I said. When I spoke to him, I think he had the same realization that I had, and that made me smile even harder.

"Don't worry. I will promise you that she will be fine. During the fight tomorrow she'll be here with Esme and Rose."

"Okay. Well, I should let you go."

"Alright. Bye."

"Oh, and Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"Please be on time tomorrow. As much as I love thinking that Victoria will be gone from this earth, I really don't want to die." When I said this he chuckled.

"Don't worry. I'll be there." I smiled with relief.

"Okay. Bye." I said.

"Goodb" Before Edward could finish saying goodbye, the line disconnected. I took the phone away from my heard and looked at it. A normal person would just shrug and hang up and go resume whatever they were doing before the call, but I knew better. I had been sitting in darkness before for it was still light outside, but know the darkness began to fall and I reached to turn on the light, but it didn't turn on. A thought crossed my mind that maybe the thunder storm that had been happening outside had caused a power outage. I rolled up the shade on the front window to look outside at the power lines and when I did I saw a shape sitting on a fallen power line now lying on the ground. I looked closer at the shape to see that it was slightly feline-ish with miraculous curves, and skin a sickly pale white. A started gasping for breath, realizing that this shape was a vampire. It wasn't just any vampire though. The fire of curly red hair that sat on top of her head told me otherwise. She had come. Victoria was here, and no one knew but me.
