AGAIN, NOW, ENJOY THIS NEXT CHAPTER 3! AGAIN, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! THANX!

Damn it, I knew it was him, why does he do that to me, to himself!

"Edward, if you can hear me, I'm just letting you know that I'm going to go talk to your family tomorrow, I'm going to call in sick, text me right now if you heard me." I look around for my phone and can't find it. I search the living room until I found it on the kitchen counter,

"Crap, he did hear me…." Whispering to myself while reading the message

"I'll let my family know, good night…." A tear started rolling down my cheek; I quickly wiped it off and erased the message when I realized I didn't have their address, "damn it…"

My phone buzzed again and it said "here are the directions and the address to our house…." I sighed and went back to my room and lay down beside Jacob, drifting into darkness.

I start hearing grunts and noises; I opened my eyes and started to listen more closely, William! I briefly turn to see Jacob still sleeping, he clearly didn't hear.

"Oh William, honey, what's wrong? What time is it? Oh it's 3:00 a.m. No, baby, don't cry, mommy is right here. Sh, sh, sh. You are the most important thing in my life now Wills. I love you." I went and sat on the rocking chair in the corner of the room. I wonder why he's so restless; he's been like this for two nights already. Maybe he is teething. "Ok William, we're going to the kitchen to make you a bottle so you can eat and go back to sleep okay, let's go." I held him close to my chest while talking to him; he is getting so heavy, so I sat him down on the high chair next to the kitchen. I started gathering everything and preparing his bottle when I heard that Wills was becoming restless and told him "Wills, I'm almost done, don't worry," when I turn I saw him trying to wiggle out of his high chair, I ran to him, grabbed him and sat on the sofa and started to feed him.

"Bella, Bella, Bella wake up, wake up Bella" I heard Jacob call my name until I realized I was still in the living room with William on top of me, sleeping.

"Bella, what happened? Why are you in the living room with Wills?"

"Jake, mmmmm, hold on…. Ok, yea, Wills was crying at night and I woke up and made him a bottle and fed him here in the living room. I guess we just fell asleep. Are you getting ready for work?"

"I don't know if I should go to work, I think I should go with you to go see them, I don't trust them..."

"Jacob, I cannot go with you there, you're going to get riled up, get mad and just turn; you know that! I'm not going to take that chance; and I don't want you to scare William, because if he sees you turn that's what's going to happen… also, I know I won't be able to concentrate and get everything out of the way. That's why I'm taking William with me; I've already told you and I will tell you again, they will NOT do anything to William or to myself, I know them that much. So please, Jacob, please trust me. Go to work and I'll call you as soon as I'm finished talking to them or if I need you for whatever reason, please, for me…..?"

"Dammit Bella! Fine! But promise me if you feel even just a little bit uncomfortable, just leave or call me ok?"

"Yes Jacob, I promise." I stand up and give him a slight kiss on the lips, "I love you, now go, and get ready."

Two hours later and Jacob headed to work after I made him breakfast, assured him I was fine, made him something to eat for lunch; and kiss him goodbye.

"William, honey, I love you baby…. Now, come here so I can bathe you and get you ready to meet 6, well, 7 of the most important people that I've come to love in my whole life; even though I don't think they feel the same way about me….."

Another two hours later William and I were heading out to the car and waited for about 5 minutes for it to heat up so we can head out over to the Cullen's.

Ok Bella, breathe, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale….. As I pull up to one of the most gorgeous houses I've seen in my life, my heart keeps beating and beating faster and faster as I approach it.

"Please don't come out and greet me, let me take my time….." I whisper to myself, not realizing that they can actually hear me…. "Dang, I forgot about that perk; super human hearing…." *sigh*

I look over and see William with his eyes popped open looking at his beautiful white surroundings.

"Hey William, we're here….. I know huh, it's so nice and beautiful. All right, let me make sure you're warm and covered…" I zipped up his winter jacket, put his hood up to cover his head and part of his face, wrap him in a big thick blanket, pick him up and place him on my chest, and head up to that beautiful three story house and knock on the front door…..

"Hello Bella, I'm so glad you have decided to come and visit us; and of course little William. Please, come in, everybody is waiting," I was greeted by Carlisle, of course, the head of the family.

"Thank you Carlisle, it's nice to see you after all these years…"

"Thank you, it's nice to hear you say that. May I be so bold as to ask if I can hug you?"

"Yes, of course Carlisle," he hugged me while I still had William on my chest. It felt so… Right… he hugged me softly but strong enough to feel that he was genuinely happy.

"Bella, here's Esme, she has practically been pacing the whole house since she knew you were coming…" with a smile on his face she led me towards Esme…

"Bella, it's so nice of you to come and see us. I have missed you so much. You know I will always see you as one of my own. Is this little William? Can I see him please?" she hugged me and William with so much love and adoration, I had to swallow back a chocked sob that was threatening to escape after hearing her say that to me, but I needed to feel strong and held it back.

"Esme, I have missed you too as well. Yes, this is little William, which I also call Wills or little Wills…" we both looked at him while I pulled the blanket and the hood of his jacket off his face, I heard gasps from different parts of the room but did not turn to see who. I was too enthralled by Esme's eyes widening and look of profound love, and I knew she loved him then; I smiled and turn to her "…he's mine, and he's my whole life now."

"Bella, he is so beautiful. I am really happy for you. I'm letting you know now that if you ever need anything, even if you think is small and insignificant, I will be here to help you. Oh, and I have some baby food for him and some for you just in case you get hungry ok."

"Wow, Esme you know you didn't have to do that, but thank you very much," yes, wow, this lady is phenomenal.

"Yes, I did; now, here is the rest of the family…."

"Bella! Wow you're a mamma now! And a hot mamma at that!" yep, that was Emmet, making everything funny and sexual, which I was glad, I was starting to feel extremely emotional and needed it.

"Hi Emmet! Yes, I'm a mamma now, and thanks for calling me hot, after the pregnancy I just… it was not the easiest time, but I can't regret it of course. I don't think I can ever live without him in my life," I said with a big smile on my face.

"Hello Bella. It's nice seeing you again and your little William. He's such a nice baby. I'm glad you have him now." Wow, I don't even know what to say, she has always been really cold, distant and what do you call it, yea, bitchy, so this was new…

"Ummmm, thank you Rosalie; I'm sorry but I find this hard to believe, you being nice to me…?" while chuckling at her…

"Yes, I know, and I apologize for that. It was just because I was so angry at you for passing out on normal human experiences, just like this important one…" she looked at me, smiled a little, and then turned to William and her eyes widened, I think more than Esme, and her smile grew bigger, making her more beautiful that she already was. Wow, I did not see this coming, I chucked a little bit at this and everybody just looked at me with questioning eyes, oh yea….

"Sorry, just a thought I had, never you mind."

"Hi Bella, I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so glad you are here! Yaaay! Can I hug you? Please? Please? Please? Oh you're going to say yes anyway, yaaay!" and she was jumping with excitement as she approached me and hugged me and started twirling me around and I started to get dizzy as she put me down.

"Wow, Alice, that was actually not surprising…" everybody laughed a little at this, and she was still with her big smile plastered on her face.

"Hello Bella. Nice seeing you again and I apologize for…" I interrupted Jasper before he finished his sentence with that hint of southern drawl, walked up to him and hugged him, well, tried to because I had William

"Jasper, you don't need to apologize for anything…. No, Jasper, I don't want to hear it. It happened almost 8 years ago, the past is past and if you continue to feel regret and feel guilty, I am sure this little pixie right here is going to start feeling more and more sad; and I don't think you want that right… and of course I don't want that either so please, just, let it go, just let go of that emotion, if not for your sake, please do it for mine, for my well being….. Yes?"

"Bella, there are no words that I can use to describe what I am feeling at the moment. But one of them is relief, thank you Bella."

"You're welcome Jasper." I knew he was going to be the last one.

"Hello Bella…." Awkward silence "….. You were able to find your way home, I mean here." Dang, he did not just say home, I tried to ignore that and felt a little relief as I heard someone contain a laugh, which was Emmet of course and just said.

"Hello Edward; and yes I did, thanks for the directions. Do you guys mind if I sit down? William is getting heavier for me by the day," I smiled at this.

"Of course Bella, this is your home, you can do anything you want," that was caring and nurturing Esme. Everybody started sitting down all around me, I guess to start the visit/meeting, or whatever it's called this.

"Thank you. Thanks everybody." William started feeling a little fuzzy and started moving when I sat him on my lap, it was hot in here, and I guess they turned the heater on for our benefit. I started taking off his winter jacket and set it next to me as I stood him up in front of me. I knew he was getting restless and wanted to explore his new surroundings.

"Esme, do you mind if he just explores around? I know that's what he's thinking; he does this every time we go somewhere new. He won't stay that far from me anyways."

"Bella, as I said, you're free to do whatever you want to; and I'm pretty sure Alice bought him some stuff to play with anyways." Once Esme finished, Alice was already in front of me with all kinds of age appropriate toys for William, I had to laugh at that and just say "of course you did Alice, thank you, I appreciate it."

"You're welcome Bella, and it's my pleasure." She went back to sit next to Jasper holding his hand; he was looking at her with such adoration in his eyes. I then noticed everybody was staring at me and William and our interaction, yep, this was me now, get over it.

"All right. So should I start, should you start? You know what, I will start. So why Unalaska, Alaska?"
