Disclaimer: Don't own it, babe.

My sister is going to tattle on me... Blech...

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time

The Saltwater Room, by Owl City

Chapter 18

"It all started back when you were in adoption.." He sighed, his breathe brushing against by face. I stiffened at the distinct memory. "We were all distraught about it, but it took a toll on Bella the most" He stared at my blank expression.

He went on, "She was depressed from losing you, she wouldn't go hunting with us either. We were all worried that she might lose control and drink human's blood. But she never did, she always stayed in one spot of the house. Each and every day, just staring at the wall with a blank expression" He told me, looking distant.

"Then one day, when no one could even look at her, she decided to go outside. When she opened the door a basket was there. It contained Gemma, but there was not even a note. It was very peculiar, cause I thought she looked like the girl version of Felix from Volturi, but that seemed crazy. Bella instantly grew attached and took Gemma as her own child" Edward looked at my pained face. "And while she was feeding her she told us that you were very special to her, and sometimes people have to let go..." He paused, noticing that I was crying harder.

"Are you alright?" He asked softly, and with a swift move he wiped my tears away with a soft tissue.

"Y-yea" I nodded shakily, feeling pathetic. "Please go on"

"Alright..." He hesitated before he began. "The next day Bella has forgotten about you, and her world revolved around Gemma. We all asked her if she remembered you, but she would snap at us because she didn't know. Then Carlisle found out she lost all her memory about you"

My breathe caught on my throat and I was choking down a sob.

"That day we found out Bella's power was to erase any type of memory, a happy one, a sad one, any. Just name it" He stated, handing me another tissue.

"S-so she doesn't know wh-who I am?" I sobbed, feeling a jab of pain in my chest. This hurt more than anything. Your own mother forgetting about you, and loving some other kid that appeared on their doorstep.

Edward stood up and pulled me into a tight hug. "Shhh... it's okay darling, I never loved Gemma as much as I loved you" He whispered, stroking my hair.

I sobbed into his sweet smelling shirt, "No it's not okay!" Came my muffled voice. "My own mother doesn't even know who the hell I am!"

Edward grew silent, but he kept rocking me back and forth. He kept rocking until my helpless sobs turned into soft hiccups. He pulled away, his eyes gentle and loving.

"Where is mom anyway?" I questioned, trying to sound casual.

"She's in another hospital room with Gemma, who is being a drama queen at the moment. They both begged me to stay, but I had someone important waiting for me" He winked at me.

"Thanks" I mumbled, wiping my eyes.

"You have other visitors you know" He smiled that lop-sided smile.

"Yea?"

"Hmn... I'll be right back" He nodded and glided towards the door.

"You'll come back right?" I called after him, worriedly. "Don't worry darling, I'll never leave you again" He said reassuringly and he left the room. Then I was alone.

My eyes fell on my locket on the chair he was sitting. It was in perfect condition and I leaned towards it, picking it up. I clasped it securely around my neck and felt whole again.

I layed back down just as the door swung open. Revealing a concerned Kailey, Natasha, and surprisingly Jacob.

"Melody!" Kailey and Natasha exclaimed rushing over and hugging me from both sides.

"Ouch!" I winced, shifting painfully.

"I'm sorry! Did we hurt you?" Kailey's words came out in a rush.

"Don't worry, I'm fine" I assured her, patting her arm.

"Hey kid, these are for you" Jacob grinned, placing a jar of flowers on the bed side table.

"Thanks so much!" I cried pleasantly.

"Lavender and Eclipse wanted to see you too, but they don't allow dogs in the hospital" Kailey shrugged. Jacob sat on the chair, and Kailey sat on his lap comfortably.

"Oh Melody! I should have never left you, you wouldn't be hurt if I stayed with you!" Natasha cried, her face guilty.

"It's okay Natasha, it's not like died" I snorted.

"You almost did!" She argued, placing her hands on her hips.

"Doesn't matter, I'm alive and well" The room suddenly grew into an awkward silence. Jacob shifted in his chair and Kailey pursed her lips, as Natasha stared at her shoes.

"Aern't we going to tell her?" Natasha suddenly asked, looking at her parents.

"Well, she'll find out sooner or later" Jacob said uncertainly.

"Tell me what?" I demanded.

Kailey drew in a big breathe, "I'm having a baby!" She cried.

My mouth dropped open in surprise, "You've only been together for like weeks!" I was practically baffled.

"I know right?" Natasha muttered in my ear.

"Are you okay with it?" Kailey asked, excitedly.

"Sure... I just have to let it sink in..." I mumbled, rubbing my temples.

"Okay, well it's getting dark. We should be heading home" Jacob said, glancing at his wrist watch.

"Bye, see you tomorrow Melody!" Natasha chirped, giving me a hug.

"Love you honey" Kailey kissed me on the forehead and they all left.

I plopped back down, and pulled the sheets up to my chin. I need some needed sleep. Like NOW! I shifted on my side as my eyes drooped sleepily.

I was just on the river of sleep when someone shook my shoulder. I snapped my eyes open and came face to face with Aro.

"Hello Melody" He smiled, his face stunning me in horror. Oh No...
