Ohmygoodness. Sorry for not updating soon. Summer and I had homework to do, how sad. Anyways, I will try my hardest to update sooner next time, instead of putting a one-month break. Also, just to clear things up a little, Bella sounds like she's dead because only if she died will they find the letter, 'cos it was under her pillow, which means this is in worse-case scenario and that's why she sounds like she's already dead.

Enjoy the next chapter. The next update would be a letter for Renee, Charlie and Phil combined, then a letter to Jake. After Jake would be Nessie then Edward.

Dear Carlisle,

Dad, truly you were my father, for you were the one who nursed my wounds, and you were the one who protected me, though it was not from the things normal teenage girls' father protect them from, but still, you give me the security that I never fully felt from Charlie. It is strange, you know, ironic even, that you would be the protecting one, since you're a vampire and all but although we're from two different worlds, I'm glad to call you my father.

Moisture gathered in my eyes as I read the first paragraph. The security needed in a family was never present throughout her childhood. She needed a father, but her mom was divorced and her stepfather was a busy man. Her mom was more of the child of the house, resulting in Bella providing the reassurances. I'm proud to have a daughter as selfless and as caring as Isabella.

We first met at the ER, horrible meeting actually, I mean, my first impression was probably hideous and I probably screamed trouble. But you still cared for me, do extra things that helped make my very short yet frequent stays at the hospital as good as a hospital stay can get. You knew that one-day, Edward would have to tell me your secret, but you let him stay with me, for he was happy. Thank you, for supporting him through our relationship, for without you, we wouldn't be where we are today; you wouldn't have a granddaughter and I wouldn't have died a happy married woman.

I flashed back to the day we met. I saw Edward come in with her and immediately, I knew, that she would ultimately become part of our family, but never could I have guessed, that she, once entering, would leave us forever. I still haven't figured out how in the world can Edward and Bella have children, but guess this is all in the mystery of my beloved daughter.

Every time I fell, you were there to patch me up, especially physically. Numerous times, I didn't dare to go to the ER, in fear of Charlie seeing me, and automatically, I would go to you. It's a natural reaction, for I knew you would take care of me.

A forced chuckle escaped my lips, and almost in synch, everyone's head whipped to face me. I shook my head and everyone went back to their own musing. Esme had started sobbing since a while ago, and everyone else had tears in their eyes. Jasper was mumbling something along the line of "my fault…sorry…too selfless…". Alice was sobbing on his shoulder, with Rose next to her, who was gripping onto both Emmett and the letter for dear life. Edward escaped to his special place, a meadow I think, and hopefully will not do anything stupid.

Carlisle, thank you. For everything you've done, from discovering the animal diet, to changing everyone. Without you, there would be no Cullen Clan, and I would have never met Edward, and no one else would have met his or her mates. I would never have such a beautiful daughter and such a loving family. For all that, thank you.

I stifled a sob; it was involuntary. I needed to cry, to mourn for the loss of such a beautiful daughter. So beautiful, so selfless, so amazing.

Dad, please don't cry. You've tried your best; you've taken care of me for the past two years. But your job is over, it's all over, you do not need to take care of me anymore. I guess I was never meant to be one of you, and this is god's way of telling me.

Sobs freely escaped me as I read the letter. Esme was listening to something on Alice's ipod and was sobbing, mumbling something, which I think were the lyrics of the song. I held her tight as she cried and reading that my job was over, made me realise that I didn't do my job well enough, I was suppose to take care of her, in a way no one else can. I didn't do a good enough job. Maybe if I was a little earlier, or if I never went hunting, I would have been able to save her.

Carlisle, my father, I'm sorry. For causing so much sorrow to a once happy family. I should have never been dragged into your life, and now that I have, I am beyond glad that I was. I really love you, my father, but I never got to tell you this. You need to be strong, for the family, for Esme. You know it would be hard on her, help her through it, help her recover from the loss of a child, and help her move on. Stay strong, for Edward. It would be even tougher on him, but make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. I'm sure he'll find someone to love like me, and I will make sure of it.

Daddy: don't forget me, and stay strong not only for me, but also for the others and most importantly, for your granddaughter. Take care of her, just like you once did to me. Encourage her, like you once did for me. Protect her, like you once did for me. Remember, I love you.

Love and Goodbye,

Bella

Sobs echoed around the once lively house, as everyone cried for the loss of his or her sister or daughter. The guys held their mates we all cried out our sorrow. Reneesme, so innocent, unknowing that her mother had just died. I would mourn for a day, then stand up tomorrow and help everyone recover. I know that one day Edward would find another love that he would love even more than Bella. Thank you, my daughter, for making our life so much more interesting. For you brought so much more happiness to our home, and you helped everyone recover from past sadness. My daughter, I love you too.
