A/N: Thank you guys so much for all the reviews! I'm really grateful!

I know I'm terrible; I haven't uploaded in a few days, but I've just got this chapter finished. Honestly, I had a two week break from school, what happened to it? I go back on Monday, meaning more GCSE's for me. Cannot wait. (Get the sarcasm? Good.) It doesn't help that I have a double art lesson and my teacher hates me… She believes I am the bane of all her problems. What's a girl gonna do, eh?

Ah well, due to the pain that is school I my updates will probably be slower, probably once a week on a Saturday or Sunday. I know, I know, it sucks. But it has to be done!

Anyway, enough of me talking to Word, I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

I don't own Twilight, Steph Meyer does. I just control her puppets :3

Chapter 5

BPOV

You know when people get into awkward situations and there's nothing you can do about it but wait it out and see what happens? Where no one talks, or even breathes? Yeah, this is one of those situations. Alice was flicking her eyes between my father and me, a frustrated gleam in her eyes. Jasper sat beside her, doing the same but with more confusion. Rosalie stared intently at my face then at my fathers. She seemed to be taking in any details that could prove that I am his biological daughter and not just tricking them. Emmett, bless him, sat with his head tilted to one side, his mouth agape. He reminded me of what a little dog would do if you make a funny noise. Esme had managed to close her mouth, a small smile forming as her yes grew wider with acceptance- honestly this woman is perfect. And Edward? He sat there without a trace of shock on his face, just that smug omniscient smirk plastered over his perfect cheeks. They sat there for about 10 minutes, just staring, before I decided I'd had enough; I felt like a circus display with all the staring.

"Will someone please say something? Staring isn't all that helpful you know," I wasn't exactly shouting, but I wasn't exactly speaking normally.

As it turns out it probably would of been better had I let them speak of their own accord. As soon as the words left my mouth everyone began speaking at once, raising their voices so they could be heard over each other. Which was unnecessary, as I would of been able to hear them perfectly had they been whispering.

"What do you mean biological daughter?"

"How come you've never spoken of her?"

"Where've you been all this time then?"

"Can you prove it?"

"Where are you living?"

I burst out laughing at Esme's last question. Of course, the mother of the household would be worried about where her husband's daughter is spending her days. My laughter seemed to put a stop to the onslaught of questions, which I was grateful for. I saw Esme move from her current seat and into the one next to Edward, leaving the other sofa free for me and my father. Honestly I can't get used to that... My father. My biological father, in Forks, Washington. He didn't die like I thought. He's been alive probably thinking that I was dead. I've been calling him my father, but am I supposed to call him that? No one else has, it's all Carlisle; do I call him Carlisle? Or do I call him father, like I did as a young girl? Or should I modernize it; dad. Dad sounds good; I'll ask him about it later. For now we had 6 vampires to fully explain to. I let 'dad' lead me to the free sofa, letting him sit down and pull me into his side. I basked in his touch, pushing myself into his side and letting myself feel the security he could offer me.

"How about you each ask a question? I'm sure we will answer the best we can," 'Dad' said, calmly looking at each member of his family.

"What do you mean she's your biological daughter?" Rosalie asked, though her face showed how betrayed she felt. Why, I don't know.

"She's my daughter from when I was a human, not what you're thinking Rosalie," dad said softly, his eyes holding hers as he comforted her. She huffed as acceptance rang in her eyes. I must have let my curiosity show as Edward mumbled a 'later' to me. I nodded as Alice asked the next question.

"How come you've never spoken of her?" Dad looked almost ashamed of himself when she asked this.

"Well, after she disappeared I wasn't ever able to find her. I thought she was dead, to be honest,"

"Where've you been all this time then?" Jasper asked me, turning the focus from my dad and onto me.

"I've been here and there, just moving around a lot. I've had run ins with vampires, but really I've just been flying- or rather, running- solo," I answered.

"Can you prove it?" Emmett asked. He didn't seem to be disbelieving, more like he wanted some kind of magic act to happen to prove my relation to his adoptive father.

"Other than my crest? No. The only other thing I had was a birth certificate, but I never got to keep it," before the sentence had left my mouth fully, my father left his place next to me, running up a flight of stairs at vampire speed. When he came back he held in his hand a worn slip of parchment. He sat down silently, handing me the parchment gently, as though it was one of the most precious things ever to him. It was my birth certificate. Right there, Isabella Marie Cullen, daughter of Katherine and Carlisle Cullen. Venom pooled in my eyes, forming tears that would never fall; somehow after his change my father had managed to save some proof of my existence. I shook my head slowly, before handing the parchment to Emmett.

"Well I guess we know why you didn't get to keep it," he murmured, passing the paper along to Rosalie, who in turn passed it to Alice, Jasper, Esme and Edward. They each nodded at the proof, all accepting that, technically I was their sister; or for Edward, not his sister. Damn that would be a kick in the gut. As I gave dad back the parchment a thought came to me.

"Did you ever see anything of mother again?" I asked, curiosity clinging to my voice; it wouldn't matter to me if he had seen her or not, I am just a curious person.

"After you disappeared I hardly saw her. I locked myself away in the study. The last night I spoke to her properly was about a week after you had gone; she was telling me to accept you were gone. I couldn't do it and stormed out to search for you. The team thought I was hunting again and joined me. I was changed before I could find you; I'm sorry, I should have been more careful!" Dad cried, burying his face in his hands. I took his hand in mine and rubbed small circles into the back of his hand with my thumb.

"It wasn't your fault, none of it was! You were human against vampires, they were certain to have the victory. I'm here now aren't I? I'm still kind of alive," I tried to lighten his mood. Thankfully it worked as he let out a small chuckle before pulling me closer into his side.

"I suppose you're right. But after the change, no I didn't see your mother again. She'd already left our home by the time I went to retrieve some belongings," he finished, looking slightly remorseful; I don't know why. My mother didn't love him.

"Is it just me or is anyone else still really confused?" Rosalie spoke up. I snickered rather bewildered expression slightly, trying hard to contain them though. I don't want to annoy anyone after all.

"Sorry, sorry. Isa, why don't you tell us your story?" Dad asked me gently, testing to see if I was comfortable with telling practically a bunch of strangers my life story. But like I said, I'm already comfortable with them. I guess I understand why partly now; my biological father is their adoptive father.

"Sure," I responded lightly. I knew I wouldn't be telling them all the details, when it would probably only anger my dad. "Well, I remember being taken from my bed the night you went hunting. There was a blonde male vampire and a red head female. Why they took me, I don't know. Anyway, they kept me captive with them for 7 years. I think. The blonde one was going to kill me, but he didn't know he'd started my change instead. They left, so I woke alone," I told them- I left out the parts of their torturous games; they were details I didn't feel my father and his family needed to hear. I went on to tell them about how I tried to destroy myself, and when I couldn't I found ways to feed off of animals. I told them how I'd been moving around on my own for most of my life; I disgusted the 'normal' vampires for my diet.

In return they all told me their stories. My father told me how he'd been searching for me when he was bitten; I felt rather guilty about that. If he hadn't been looking for me then he wouldn't have been bitten. However I couldn't be sad he was bitten, otherwise I would never have been reunited with him. Much to my surprise I learned that my father tried to end his life much in the same ways that I had. He had tried drowning himself, jumping from cliffs and eventually starving himself. I was more shocked to find that he too pounced on a deer as his first meal; we must be more alike than we ever actually realised. I learned he had spent some years with the Volturi, though I don't know how he did it; I haven't actually met them but they sound insufferable.

I learned how my dad had changed Edward first in Chicago while Edward was dying of the Spanish Influenza. He was 17 at the time, much like I was when I was changed; this thought made me rather giddy for some reason. I also learned that Edward is a mind reader; it explains his rather frustrated looks he shoots me every now and then; he can't read my mind. Ha.

I learned that Esme was changed next, also by my dad. She had jumped from a cliff after losing her first born child; a frail baby boy. Dad changed her to be his mate; no one ever knew though seeing as the human doctors couldn't hear her heart beating and put her straight in the morgue; right for my dad to save her. I'd curse the humans for their idiocy but then this family wouldn't have Esme.

Rosalie was changed next, also by my dad (I'm starting to think he just likes changing people…); she didn't go into detail as to why she was changed so I can only assume it isn't a pleasant story. I didn't push for details; after all I haven't told them everything, why should they tell me everything. I did however find out they had hoped Rosalie and Edward would be mates. This rose jealousy in me, even now when I can see how happy Rosalie and Emmett are together. Jasper gave me a funny look before recognition flared in his eyes, leaving him to smirk to himself. I glared at him, but listened as Emmett told me of his change.

He had been mauled by a bear whilst he was out hunting; he would surely of died had Rosalie not been hunting in the area herself and run him home to my dad to change him for her. Emmett and Rosalie don't have any special gifts; though they do enjoy taking down a bear every week or two.

Alice and Jasper weren't changed by my dad. Alice doesn't remember how she was changed, just that she had a vision telling her how to find Jasper and that she should feed on animal blood. Jasper however had been changed by Maria in the newborn wars, used to train her newborns and dispose of them. He had grown depressed and ran away. He was found by Alice and together they found the Cullens, joining their family permanently. I learned that they too had extra gifts; Alice could tell the future based on decisions people made, and Jasper could feel and manipulate emotions; like an empath. That explains the odd looks he gave me for my jealousy… Oops.

The time passed by quickly; I didn't notice the darkness that fell in a soft blanket over the dreary town as the towns folk slept. I jumped up from my place beside my dad quickly.

"Isa, what's wrong?" he asked me worriedly.

"It's dark out, I have to get back!" I exclaimed about to run towards the door before Esme's soft voice stopped me.

"Dear, you never did tell us where you were living?"

"I, uh… acquired a small house near a forest," I mumbled, not wanting to admit to this sweet woman and my father that I basically stole a house.

"What do you mean acquired?" Emmett's suspicious voice rose from across the room.

"Well, I, Uh… I-," I stuttered, trying to figure the best way of putting it.

"You stole a house didn't you?" Emmett's voice went from suspicious to mischievous and somewhat proud in a matter of seconds.

"I wouldn't say I stole it… I just didn't exactly pay for it," I admitted. I was shocked to say the least when everyone laughed at me instead of scolding me like I expected.

"Well dear you're going to stay here from now on. Do you have any belongings at the house?" Esme asked.

"Nope, just the clothes on my back," I replied.

"WHAT? You have no other clothes?" Alice screeched. I shook my head, quite terrified of her to do anything more. "Oh this will not do. Come along Bella!" She grabbed my wrist and pulled me up the flight of stairs; not before I threw a 'Help me!' look towards the others. No one helped.

I gulped as Alice led me into a large bedroom. The walls were a soft cream colour, covered in pictures of the family. Sketchbooks lay haphazardly over any surface available, most flicked open so I could see designs in each one. There was however a bookcase which was immaculate. On closer look I saw all the books had relevance to the civil war; obviously Jaspers bookcase. The bed had a pure white duvet on; the only detail was a black lace border on the edge of the duvet and pillow cases.

I was aware of Alice letting go of my wrist and disappearing in what looked like a separate bedroom. I only found out I was wrong when she came back out, her arms laden with clothes. My eyes widened as i realised this was her closet. She thrust me into another room, a bathroom telling me to shower and wash my hair quickly. I obeyed her command, because damn I don't want to make the Pixie angry; she could bite my ankles! I was quite grateful for the shower, giving me chance to get the grime of Forks High off my body. After showering and washing my hair I stepped out and wrapped myself in a fluffy towel. Whilst I was drying I saw a pile of clothes on Alice's counter; how the hell did she get in here without me noticing? I saw a note on top of the clothes. It was Alice, leaving me instructions.

Bella,

Just put the clothes on and don't complain like I've already seen. Even if you do complain, I will win the argument, so there's really no point. You will thank me by the end of the day, trust me.

Do not touch your hair, Rosalie and I shall be fixing you up; again, complain and you will lose.

Alice

Greaaaaaaaat. I looked at the clothes she wanted me to wear and groaned loudly. Seeing as I would lose any argument I gave I sighed and mumbled to myself as I pulled on the clothes. I can't even call them clothes, there's hardly any material! Alice left me a black skirt that hell to mid-thigh; that wouldn't be so bad, but the fact it had a layer of mesh like material first then a lighter silkier material on top made it worse. She left me a midnight tank top. I thought this was better than nothing… Until I put it on. It reached my stomach, but left a slither of it uncovered. I honestly felt exposed in this... this thing! This isn't something I would wear by my own choice.

I sighed and left the bathroom padding barefoot into Alice's room. I found Alice and Rosalie laid on the bed laughing together about something. When they saw me Alice gave Rosalie a smirk as if to say 'I told you so' and winked at her. I don't even want to know. I did want to know why they were forcing me into this however. As I was about to complain in an attempt to change my outfit, Alice stopped me by tapping her forehead and raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow at me. I sighed and hung my head. Alice squealed and clapped her hands before dragging me to sit in front of her vanity unit; which much to my horror was covered with makeup and hair products. I closed my eyes and decided to just let them get on with it. I felt Rosalie come behind me and start tweaking with my hair, before drying it, while Alice poked different brushed all over my face. I managed to drift off in my own thoughts for about half an hour before they declared they were done. I took a deep breath before opening my eyes.

My mouth fell open in shock. The girl in the mirror couldn't be me! I know I'm a vampire but I always thought of myself to be plain even by those standards. This girl in the mirror was not plain. No, she was beautiful. Her usually dull brown hair seemed to shine and glow as it hung in loose curls down to her waist, a side fringe swept across her forehead stylishly. Her gold eyes popped with the smoky makeup; eyeliner making them stand out and blue and grey eye shadow to draw the attention to them. Her lips were rosy red and looked plump. She was beautiful; she was me. Venom filled my eyes as I pulled Alice and Rosalie into a massive hug, crushing them to me in thanks.

"I'm going to take that as you like it?" Rosalie teased as she hugged me back. I could only nod my head in response. They both giggled before Alice pulled away and skipped back into her closet. She came back out with a pair of blue converse high tops under one arm and a black button up cardigan under the other. She thrust them to me and I put them on without a single complaint.

"Perfect! I am a genius!" she sang happily before dancing into her closet and coming back out in a completely different outfit; she wore a skirt like mine except hers was in a light grey colour. She wore a tank top like mine as well except she wore it in pink. She wore pink high tops and a grey cardigan. She took two minutes to gel her hair into neat spikes and add her own makeup. Rosalie came back into the room ( I hadn't even noticed she had left!) wearing an outfit like Alice and me; except her skirt was a dark grey, in the middle of mine and Alice's, and her tank top was a vibrant red colour. Her hair was pin straight down her back, shining almost blindingly. She too had red high tops on and a dark grey cardigan. She did her own makeup and was ready in a matter of minutes. I wondered why they had spent so long to do me when they could have used vampire speed. They must like to torture the new girl.

"Girls. We look hot. Now let us go make some humans jealous shall we?" Rosalie coached to us, grinning when Alice and I screamed a 'Yes!' in response. They both linked their arms through mine, leading us out of Alice's room and down the stairs, where the boys were waiting for us. I hadn't noticed the time fly by and was sort of glad my dad had left for the hospital; I'm sure he would… what's the saying? Ah… he would shit bricks if he saw me dressed in this.

Once the guys came into view Alice, Rosalie and I broke into simultaneous laughter. The stood, in a line with their jaws hanging wide open. I took the opportunity to see how they were dressed. Emmett had a red t-shirt on and Jasper had a grey one on; I'm sure he refused to wear a pink shirt. Edward wore a button down midnight blue shirt which honestly made him look so perfect it almost hurt my eyes. All three of them wore black jeans and converse low tops; matching ours of course. Alice is a sneaky one I'll give her that much.

Emmett broke from his trance first, rushing forward to crush Rosalie to him. I looked away as soon as their lips met; it wasn't something I needed to see. Jasper followed his lead and ran to Alice, but he just took her hands in his and started into her eyes. It was awfully intimate so once again I looked away. I met Edward's eyes and watched as he seemed to break from his own trance. He stalked towards me, stopping just a foot away, before taking my hand in his and kissing the back of it whilst he looked intently into my eyes. If I could blush I would no doubt be on fire by now. In spite of this I couldn't tear my eyes away from Edward's.

"You look… amazing," He whispered, though everyone could hear him. He held onto my hand as I looked down shyly, mumbling my thanks. I looked back up at him through my lashes a small smile gracing my lips.

"You look pretty amazing yourself," I said in a small voice before biting my lip in embarrassment.

"Alright, Eddie, leave the girl alone! We have a school to get to!" Emmett interrupted. Honestly I may have to sort out his little interruption problem.

"Don't call me Eddie!" Edward growled at Emmett, narrowing his eyes in annoyance.

"Whatever Eddie-kins, let's go!" Emmett cried then skipped out the door and towards the garage. I let out a small giggle before letting Edward lead me to the garage.

OoOoOo

I hate school. Actually no, it's not school I hate. It's the fact that I'm too nice of a person to ignore people if they speak to me. English had passed by with no bother, except getting stared at by nearly every male in the class. Only Ben Cheney didn't stare; he's one of the decent people in this school.

Now though I'm having to endure Jessica Stanley's constant nattering that has nothing to do with Trig. She just talks and talks and talks. I know her kind; she's a gossiper, friendly with me for some attention. Honestly I don't know how I missed her yesterday; she can't of been in. There's no way I would forget her nasally voice. So understand my relief when the bell rang, meaning I could escape Jessica's clutches and go mildly enjoy a misinformed History lesson with Jasper.

Jasper greeted me with a quick hug at the door of the history room where he had been waiting for me. We walked in and once again I was stared at by almost every male. Jasper growled softly and pulled me to my seat, mumbling something about 'the lust in the room shouldn't be directed at my little sister'. My dead heart felt as though it had warmed at his words; he truly thinks of me as part of his family already.

We spent the lesson talking at vampire speed, talking about how wrong all the facts the teacher was giving us were. At one point it got too much for me to take. The teacher had told us that suffragettes should have known better than to take such drastic measures. I shouted out before I could stop myself.

"That's bull! Why should they have known better? If they were standing up for what they believe in, and rightly so, then why shouldn't they have taken such drastic measures?" I shouted. "That sounded almost sexist Sir, saying that women should have known better. Do you believe that women are stupid Sir?"

Well, I, Uh… No of course not, I simply meant-"he stuttered.

"Yes Sir, what did you mean? That we are the lesser being? That we shouldn't stand up for what we believe in? That isn't a very good example to set Sir," I said calmly, staring him down. If there's one thing I cannot stand after 300 years in this world, are people treating women to be lesser beings.

"I simply meant they didn't have to be so drastic, Isabella," he replied, fueling my anger even more for calling me Isabella. I was about to respond to him but the bell rang, relieving me of his presence. I glared at him before tugging Jasper out of his seat and walking out. Detention? Not for me.

Outside the classroom Jasper burst into laughter, whilst picking me up in a massive hug.

"Shit Bells, You sure told him!" Jasper exclaimed in his Southern drawl. I shrugged and laughed as I felt the pride Jasper was emitting for me. We talked about what I'd done all the way to the cafeteria; once again when we entered everything went silent before the whispers began. I didn't even acknowledge them and walked to the Cullen table with Jasper. I could see Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Edward already sat down. Once we neared the table, Emmett saw us and stood, clapping his massive bear hands in applause. The others turned and saw us, then much to my surprise joined Emmett in standing and clapping. They only stopped once id sat and put my head in my hands groaning with frustration.

"Damn Bella, remind me never to piss you off!" Emmett laughed, cheering me slightly. As everyone nodded in agreement I told them how I felt on the subject of sexism.

The rest of lunch passed by far too quickly for my liking, all of us talking about anything and everything. They asked me of places I've seen and in return they told me of all the places they've lived in and some stories of what they *cough Emmett cough* have gotten into. Just before the lunch bell ran I saw Alice wink once again at Rosalie with a slight nod of her head to where Edward and I sat beside each other. I brushed it off and took out my schedule for the afternoon; seeing as I missed yesterday afternoon I didn't know what lessons I had. I found I had Biology with Mr. Banner.

"What do you have now Bella?" Edward asked, looking over my piece of paper. I folded it into my pocket and stood.

"Biology, Mr. Banner. You?" I replied.

"Same. Come on, I'll walk you," Edward said. I nodded and said goodbye to the others before walking with Edward to biology. Every now and then I heard a growl low in Edward's chest, but I ignored it.

Luck was on my side when Mr. Banner told me to sit beside 'Mr. Cullen', meaning I could spend the hour talking with Edward about anything we could think of at vampire speed. I had to stifle my laughter a lot when Edward told me what people around us were thinking. I was disappointed when the bell rang. I had Spanish now whilst Edward had English. We parted ways with a short but sweet hug, leaving my insides feeling all mushy.

Spanish flew by with me barely paying any attention; I could understand everything the 'Spanish teacher' said. I may or may not have corrected her once or twice… Needless to say she doesn't like me very much. Such a shame. I had one more lesson before the end of the day where I could spend the 10 minute drive talking with Edward. This morning we had to take two cars so while Edward and I took his Volvo the others rode in Emmett's monster Jeep.

I groaned when I realised my last lesson was Gym. I'm not bad at Gym, but having to concentrate on playing at human speed and strength was very, very annoying. I walked to Gym and into the changing rooms, ignoring the lustful stares of the boys and the jealous stares of the girls. I talked to Coach Clapp quickly and got myself something to dress down in. Once I changed I went and sat on the bleachers waiting for the lesson to begin and be over with. I was sat for about 5 minutes before the doors opened and in walked Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Edward. A grin took over my face when I realised I wasn't alone in this class; maybe it won't be so bad, especially with my family here. I ran down to where they stood by the door (Human speed, of course), grinning my head off.

Alice ran forward and hugged me when she saw me, though the devilish glint in her eye told me she knew I would be in this class with them. I hugged Rosalie and waved at the guys, smiling nonstop. Coach Clapp chose then to start the lesson, by dividing us into teams to play badminton. Alice and Rosalie got paired, Edward and Jasper got paired. Emmett got paired with the ever so lovely Jessica Stanley, causing Rosalie to send her a lovely warning glare that could make Medusa scared. I got paired with a boy called Mike Newton. He seemed nice enough, though he didn't seem to understand that my eyes weren't on my cleavage.

We managed to get through the lesson without too many incidents until the very end. Mike and I had just won a game against a couple of girls so I turned to him to offer him a high five; teenagers seemed to do that a lot from what I've seen. Only instead he pulled me into a hug, his hands dangerously low on my back. He didn't seem to notice the coldness, but still I pushed him away fighting a grimace. I turned to walk back to the changing room, only to have my wrist caught by a warm clammy hand.

"Come back to my place tonight?" Mike said in what I think was supposed to be a seductive voice.

"No thank you, Mike," I said before turning and trying to walk away, only to be stopped… again.

"Aw come one. You know you want to," he smiled lazily at me, winking one eye. Though it just looked like he had a twitch. I pulled my arm from his weak grasp and turned my voice icy.

"I said 'no' Mike. Don't touch me ever again, got it?" I glared at him for good measure before stalking off to get changed.

I walked out to meet everyone outside the Gym. Alice and Rosalie looked giddy and slightly impatient. Emmett had awe written all over his face, while Jasper looked proud once again. Edward however, looked furious. When he saw me his eyes softened slightly, but his jaw was still clenched and his nostrils flared. I smiled at him but he just glared at someone behind me. I turned my head and saw Mike heading towards me; yet again. I groaned and Edward stepped forward. He took several steps forward until he was stood in front of me. I looked up at him questioningly, just to have his grasp my face in his hands. I opened my mouth to ask what he was doing, but what he did next shocked any words from my brain.

He pushed me roughly into the side of the Gym, his hands never leaving my face. I was about to complain when he crashed his lips onto mine. His lips moved viciously against my still, shocked ones. I caught up to him once I realised that this was Edward Cullen, kissing me! Hell, I'm not going to waste the opportunity. I threw my arms around his neck, grabbing his bronze locks in my small hands. I moved my lips back against his ferociously, not wanting to waste a second of it. His cool tongue swiped at my bottom lip, asking for entrance. And who the hell am I to deny him? I opened my mouth, moaning when his tongue met mine in a battle for dominance. One of his hands left my face to tangle in my hair, holding my head in place. I moaned and tugged on his hair, causing him to growl deep in his throat. He pulled away panting, then pecked my lips once, twice, three times. He leaned his forehead against mine, both of us breathing heavily. Edward stepped back to let me stand properly; as I did so I looked around. I saw Alice and Rosalie looking satisfied, Emmett and Jasper shocked and Mike Newton, frozen in place with his mouth agape. Defeat flashed in his eyes before turning and walking away, muttering about how 'The Cullens get everything'. I laughed then looked to Alice.

"You were right. Thanks Alice," I said before winking at her, before we erupted in giggles. I love this family.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter; it isn't one of my favorites to be honest. But it is longer so hopefully it will tide you over for now!

Don't worry; there will be some more Bella/Carlisle, daughter/father time coming up soon. It all depends on when Carlisle can get away from the hospital, hard worker he is.

Review for me, leave me your opinions. It would be greatly appreciated!
