I don't own twilight

The game had ended in a one point lose for the Seahawks. Bella and Alice grimaced as they got into the car, "This isn't going to be good is it?" Bella turned to Alice.

"No," Alice shook her head heading towards the driver's side of the car. "Edward" Alice called over the car, "We're meeting at mom and dads." Edward nodded as him and Rose got into his car and Alice got into her own. A silent ride commenced all the way to the Cullen Parents house. Bella looked up at the giant house and gasped.

"Holy Hell you grew up here?"

"Yeah," Alice got out of the car and Bella was slow to follow her, she couldn't believe she was actually going to be walking into that house. It was giant it was white two pillars stood on either side of it. She followed Alice through the door and just looked around the foyer in fascination.

"Wow," She breathed. She turned in a circle trying to take everything in.

"Is she ok?" Edward looked with concern at Bella who was still slowly spinning.

"She's fine." Alice waved away his concern. Causing Rose to giggle she tried to cover it up when they heard a clicking of heels.

"Hello kids." Esme smiled to see most of her family in front of her.

Bella snapped out of her dreamy haze. "Esme, you look amazing thanks for having me in your home."

"Its my pleasure Bella." Esme smiled. "If you would all come into the kitchen we can talk well I finish everything up and wait for the others to get here." She turned back around and Bella followed her with the others.

"You didn't tell me this was a dressy dinner," Bella hissed at Alice thinking of the paint still on her face and the jersey and jeans she was wearing.

"don't think it is," Alice whispered back, she happened to glance into the living room seeing her father. "See my dad is wearing Jeans. I have no idea what is up with my mother."

"Your tone is scaring me, is your mother turning into some type of Stepford wife."

"I want to say know but I can't."

"Oh lovely," Bella rolled her eyes.

"What are you two on about?" Rose stepped up next to them.

"is my mother acting stranger then usual?"

"Alice when it comes to your mother I always think she's weird." Rose scoffed.

"So helpful Rose." Alice huffed.

They walked into the kitchen and it looked like a bomb had went off. Yet somehow Esme's clothes and hair were perfect. "Mom me and the girls are going to go talk to dad." Edward said after one look at that kitchen.

"What," Esme turned around from where she was pulling out Stakes from the oven.

"We're going into the living room." Edward repeated.

"Oh um ok." Esme replied distracted turning her head back to the food.

"Who is that woman and what has she done with my mother?" Edward shook his head as they walked into the living room.

"Dad did you break mom?" Alice sat down and looked over at her father.

"What?" Carlisle looked up surprised to see his children.

"Did you break mom."

"No why would you ask me a crazy question like that?"

"First off, she's dressed like she's going to a five star restaurant; secondly the kitchen is a mess. Mom always cleans as she goes and I'm pretty sure I saw a box of pr e made potato's on the counter. Never in my life have I known mom to make potatoes out of a box." Alice pointed out.

"She's fine." Carlisle tried to assure his children." He cringed inside at this moment almost certain his wife was going through a mantle breakdown; he didn't want to worry his kids though.

"Dinner is ready." Esme came into the living room five minutes later.

"Mom, Emmett and Jasper aren't here." Edward pointed out.

"Well I guess we'll just have to eat without them. We don't want the food to get cold." And with that she was gone. Her mind just kept running through the list of things she needed to get done. She didn't really even focus on what her kids were saying or what was going on around her. They all looked at each other wide eyed.

"Well I'm going to wash up, Alice Rose will you come with me?" Bella stood up and the girls hastily followed. Bella checked her pockets for her phone. She walked into the bathroom and waited for Rose and Alice to follow her in. "We need to call Emmett."

"Your right." Alice sighed.

"Alice you should call," Bella handed Alice her phone and with a deep breath Alice dialed the number.

"Bella honey me and Jasper are on our way I promise I'll be there soon." Emmett answered the phone.

"Emmett its Alice."

"Alice," Emmett was confused. "Is everything ok, you sound shaky?"

Suddenly memory's long suppressed came flooding back to her, Dark rooms. Perfect dinners one night, nothing the next, super messy, super clean, tears and laughter, mom missing for days, weeks, months. Mom in that hospital bed her hands started to shake. "Remember when I was ten Edward was fourteen and you were sixteen, and mom went off the deep end. I think its happening again. She's not acting normal. The kitchen's a mess. She's in a dress I'm sure cost her over a thousand dollars and she wants to start dinner without you."

"Alice calm down," Emmett tried to sooth. We're just pulling into the driveway ok."

"Ok." She flipped the phone shut and Rose and Bella looked at her wide eyed.

"She's not ok." Tears welled in Alice's eyes.

"Girls." Edward's voice came through the door.

Rose opened it and yanked Edward inside noticing the shell shocked look on Rose and Bella's face and the tears in his baby sisters eyes he went into protector mode. "What's wrong?"

"Edward is mom breaking again." Alice's voice wobbled as she practically begged her brother to tell her history was not repeating itself.

He froze as he started to go through her symptoms. She was shutting down he thought of the fake frozen look. Why hadn't he seen it why didn't his dad see it?" He slammed his fist against the door. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up at Rose who soothingly ran her hand up and down his arm. "Shh its ok." She whispered she didn't know the story but right now she knew he needed her. Bella was trying to support Alice who looked like she was about to crumble and at the same time trying to figure out how to get to Emmett.

Jasper watched as Emmett slammed the breaks on and rushed into the house, he had no idea what was going on he just knew it was bad. Emmett rushed through the door and looked around. He noticed the table the finest china sat out. He ran into the living room. "Dad," Carlisle looked up at his son.

"Hey Emmett sorry about the game."

"I don't give a dam about the game, have you noticed mom's cracked and everyone has locked themselves in the bathroom." Emmett growled. He was pissed was Carlisle going to turn a blind eye to everything like he had eight years before. What had happened to snap his mother this time. Last time he remembered that he'd gotten into a fight about how Carlisle and Esme were always going to Alice's dance recitals or Edwards science fairs but would always miss his games. He still isn't sure what had caused her to snap but after that, after she'd gotten better they'd all walked around her carefully so what had happened. He didn't even wait for his father to answer he just headed towards the bathroom and a shell shocked Jasper followed him.

"You guys let me in." he pounded on the door. The door swung open to reveal a stark white Bella still trying to hold up Alice. Jasper quickly swooped in to take Alice and Bella went to Emmett.

"Are you ok," She whispered, running her hand over his cheek.

"No," he answered honestly. He looked around the room and motioned everyone out into the hallway. "Ok everyone I want you to go up to Alice's room and don't come out until I get you." They all nodded numbly. Bella kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly before letting him go. As he watched them all walk up the stairs he headed back to the kitchen. He scoffed in disgust at the sight of his dad still in the living room. He found his mom in the dining room eating and smiling at the empty chairs.

"Hey mom." He whispered gently sitting down."

"Oh Emmett. You know that girl you have she's wonderful."

"Thanks mom."

"Have you seen your brother he has to do his homework."

"Crap," Emmett muttered she was going back and forth between the present and the past it was worse than he thought.

"mom I'll be right back." With that Emmett got up and walked up the stairs. Opening Alice's door looking at the people inside the worry and fear that covered their faces he felt one single tear run down his face. Bella jumped off the bed and rushed to him. Brushing the tear from his face she whispered.

"I don't know what's going on but I'm here, what ever you need I'm here." She could run away she knew but her heart was screaming that no matter how scary this all was Emmett was worth it. He held her close soaking in her strength so he could do what he knew needed to be done.
