Rosalie's POV
The hours passed away like seconds, as I held the photograph of Bella and Masen in my hand. He was so beautiful, he was perfect. Envy ripped through me, but I reminded myself, this is what you fought for, this is what you wanted, for Bella to have a chance of motherhood. Emmett didn't return, and his future disappeared in Alice's visions about half an hour after he suddenly left the house. Edward shortly left afterwards, only to return with a stinking dog, known as Jacob. I recognised him, even though he had matured and was now part of the pack, I could still see the young long haired boy who used to chase after Bella them ten years ago in Forks. Alice had a vision this morning that Emmett would be returning back, and then after speaking with him, was informed Bella would be joining him.
Emmett always had a caring side for her, yet I didn't understand why he reacted the way he did, and why wasn't Edward the one playing the hero. My mind was full of questions, which Edward sure was getting sick of hearing. Not because he didn't care, it was clear to see he was impatient for Bella to come home, it is just no one had the answers. Edward walked into my room; I quickly hid the photograph and smiled sympathetically to him.
"They will be here in five minutes. Meet you downstairs." And with that he turned on his heel and headed towards his bedroom. Short and precise as always, Edward wasn't one for conversation much since Forks. It pained me to see him like this. Even though it was entirely his fault for introducing Bella to this so called 'life' I still understood what it was like to suffer such loss. At least with Emmett we still remained, husband and wife according to fake legal paperwork, our marriage dissolved into nothing, we are still friends, which I am grateful for. It gives me hope that one day; we will be back to normal.
It was time to go downstairs and wait for Bella and Emmett to arrive. I took my place in front of the mantel and checked my reflexion in the mirror; I had to make sure I looked amazing for Emmett.
Carlisle's POV
Bella looked white; if it wasn't for her stuttering heartbeat and her intoxicating scent I could have thought she was one of us. She was beautiful like always, now mature yet she looked so young, even though her ill health was clear to see.
Bella looked around the room, obviously summing up who was here and who was not, and her gaze stopped at the staircase. I followed her gaze to see Edward staring out the window, when I heard Emmett shout after Bella, then myself.
"Bella!" Emmett had caught her luckily enough; Esme had run to collect medical supplies just in case, while Alice ran to the kitchen for a glass of water. Rosalie excused herself as well, still emotional from the previous day's events.
"Carlisle! What are you doing standing there, do something!" Emmett shouted at me whilst cradling Bella and silently sobbing to himself.
"My apologies son i guess i was bewildered by Bella's return" and with that I rushed to her. to my right side rushed jasper, and in came Jacob Black who appeared on my left.
Alice
I didn't see this happening, I ran to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for when Bella regained consciousness. I was still kicking myself about my lack of visions lately. I didn't see Bella surviving, I didn't see Masen. I didn't see her relationship with Jacob, but that is because of his freaky wolf thing. Her future was blank, however my families future was clear, and she appeared in my visions. I couldn't get my head around it. We rested Bella on the large corner sofa in the snug, and eagerly awaited her awakening. We decided that it was too much of a shock to Bella, seeing us all stood there, and quite intimidating. Therefore I stayed with Bella along with Carlisle and Emmett. The rest of my family waited in the lounge, and Jacob went for a run, for 'fresh non bloodsucker air' and the fact he was blocking my visions. To say Bella looked beautiful would be an understatement, she was now late twenties yet she looked like a 20 year old, 23 at a push. I smiled as I reminisced all the times I shared with Bella in forks, how she hated fashion beauty and anything shopping related. Now looking at her, I was impressed to say the least. I half considered taking her shoes off and trying them on myself, I heard Edward chuckle at the thought. I was about to speak to him through thoughts when a vision merged into my mind...
It was a bright summer's day. A car emerged on the driveway, and out stepped Bella from the drivers side, and a young boy from the other. He had bronze hair, beautifully pale skin, and striking brown eyes. Bella continued towards the house while the young boy followed.
"Mum, what if they don't like me? Is my new dad going to be here" He questioned her, as she stopped before the door. She bent down and gave him a hug and whispered in his ear.
"Of course they will son, and I don't know sweetheart, your old mum is going to have to see if he wants me first." She laughed, while standing back up.
"He smiled and pressed the doorbell. A tall man, pale skin, dark hair, small smile and stocky figure answered, looking Bella in the eye, I saw two circles of red beneath his eyelids...a human drinker. He hugged Bella and picked up Masen, and the three of them entered the house...
Holy crap, I hope Edward didn't see that vision, I peered out into the living room, but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Jasper clocked on to my curiosity when I noticed it was only him there.
"Edward went for a quick hunt; he is readjusting to Bella's scent. Esme has gone to the store for Bella some food, and Rosalie went to the mall. Surely you of all people should know" He joked, and then returned to reading his book. Carlisle passed me in the doorway; his future consisted of a small talk with Edward and a brief hunt. I wished him good luck, and to come back in 10 minutes. Bella was going to wake up in no more than 2 minutes, this gave me a perfect opportunity to ask Emmett some much needed questions, like why the hell in his future, are his eyes red...
