A/N: Sorry the last chapter was so short!! But then again, I'm not that sorry because none of you reviewed!! :(

Guys, really, I'm getting sad. If you don't review, I may not write anymore. Besides school, that's really why I haven't been updating….I feel unloved.

Princess Isabella's POV

"Bella?" Jacob whispered; His voice cracked.

"Jacob…" I didn't really know what to say.

I mean, what could i say? "i forgive you?", no because i was not sure if i would really mean it. But i knew that was what he wanted to hear. I knew it would make him happy...and that's what I wanted. I wanted him to be happy. It was a strange thing to admit to myself, but it was true, I suppose. I wanted Jacob to be happy and I wanted to see that smile again. That big, wide, childish grin which at a time could brighten up my day no matter how dark. Until I met Edward...

Realization hit me like blow to the head at that one moment; In that moment, everything Jacob had told me had made sense...it seemed more understandable now. Everything he had done, he had done because of me. Not for me, but because of me. He wanted me with him and he wanted me to stay. And I was never as clear as I thought I had been; Perhaps, all that time I had been leading Jacob along. Toying with his emotions, like the horrible creature i was. He had loved. And I knew that...but I didn't consider his feelings. Still, I didn't know how he could go so far. I wasn't sure if I could totally forgive him...but I understood. Poor Jake; I must have ripped out his heart that night at his ball. I could still see the hurt expression on his face, the look that triggered all of this. They look hearbreak; That was my gift to him! On his birthday! I truly was a terrible person...

Maybe everyone would be better off if I was dead; I deserved it. No! Death would be a pleasure to me...an eternity with Edward. Perhaps purgatory would be better suited for someone like me...

"Jacob..." I repeated. I took a deep breath, trying not to cry. My voice was so faint I could barely hear it against the throbbing in my ears; Oh wait, that's my wild heartbeat. "I understand your pain. I know why you did everything you did." was all I said. Saying I forgave him, I decided, would be a lie. And I didn't want to lead Jacob to believe them anymore. He deserved better than that; Better than someone like me.

"You understand, but do you forgive me?" he asked desperatly. I shut my eyes. This was too much; I couldn't handle this. Not now...

Alice's POV

My happy place. Everything was so peaceful here; The skies were bluer, and grass was greener, and for some reason everything smelled like vanilla. It was perfect there; I loved it. I just waited for Jasper now…

"Where are you Jazz?" I whispered impatiently; He hadn't been here last time. I was heartbroken.

"Alice." he walked towards me, his skin glowing brighter than I remembered. But it had been a while since he had visited me here. He must have been busy.

But he was here now, and I was glad. Maybe he sensed I needed him now…

"Jasper." relief was transparently clear in my tone as he embraced me in those warm, angelic hug that people would freely sell their soul for. "Jasper, I need you." Too bad, I thought, you can't be here.

Jasper's POV

"Where are you Jazz?" Alice's soft voice sounded in my ears. I had left Edward a few minutes ago. He said he needed time to think; Very understandable.

"Right here, Alice." I whispered. I wished I could go down to her. I wanted to be able to touch her. A part of me was angry at Edward for not telling me about his escape. But another part understood. There must have been a good reason.

I watched alice for a while, knowing that it was me she dreamt of. It hurt knowing that she dreamt of me...it hurt terribly. Because it was like i was causing her more pain than she was already in. I was hurting the one i loved and i couldn't mend her broken heart.

"The babies are fine." I heard her mumble. I smiled, in spite of myself; True, I had left her with the burden of twins. Without a father, but the thought that she would have something to remind her of me, a little piece of me to carry with her, until the day she would join me, her in the clouds. "They're almost here..." she muttered. Her face distorted into an expression of pain as her eyes flew open.

"It's time." I realized with mixed feelings. I was happy of course, but worried, afraid for my dear Alice; I prayed that she would be okay without me next to her...

Oh, how I longed to be next to her...

Edward's POV

I needed to go; I wanted to go. But was it safe? One more time couldnt hurt, right? I lied to myself. But I needed to go, just one more time. To explain to Bella why I was leaving, why I would never be coming to her again. I shuddered at the thought of not seeing Bella for even a day. How would she go on? How would I go on? Could I...?

it was settled. One more night. One more time...I had to allow myself that.

I was running to Jasper, I felt obligated to tell him, now that he already knew.

He looked shocked; he looked scared. It was appalling. "Jasper?" I asked.

"Alice! Her water broke..." he sounded out of it. He was only half there. "No one's there for her! Bella- she's not with Alice. I want to be there..." he buried his face in his hands.

"Jasper..." I felt terrible for never thinking- considering this before. "Come with me." I said putting a hand on his shoulder. "Japser! You have to..." he had to.

"How-" he looked at me incredulously, not comprehending. I gave him a look, he understood. "Oh! Edward..."

"jasper, we don't really have time to do these sentimental thank yous. We have to go..."

Bella's POV

"I think I shoud go now..." I said avoiding the question. I got up quickly and rushed out of the room, but I still couldn't seem to get out of there fast enough. Jacob followed me, apparently not willing to take no for answer.

I quicked my pace, lifting my dress and eventually breaking into a run. But his pace remained the same, as far as I could tell. I slowed down. I looked back at him. And I saw my Jacob. He was back, it seemed, from the dead. Someone I thought, for so long to be gone...had returned.

"Bella...please..." he breathed. His eyes held the emotions he had no doubt been keeping inside all this time. Oh, he must have been hurting.

"Jake..." without thinking, I rushed towards him, wraping my arms around his massive chest, embracing him as though he would be gone, and Jacob would take his place. But I could tell that King Jacob was long gone. "I-" I was interupted, suddenly, by the most insufferable sound.

Alice's cries pierced the evening's crisp air. Her water had broke...it was time.

Alice's POV

I awoke, thanks to a sharp pain. I moaned in agony; it hurt so much. I warm liquid seeped from underneath me...what the hell?

Oh no; It was time. Now. Right now. The Baby was coming...

My head raced, my stomach twisted on top of the contractions which would only worsen. I needed help. I couldn't move. I could barely think against the panic. I needed a miracle...

"Alice..." a familiar voice called. Who was that? I thought I knew the voice, but it wasn't possible. No, no! He couldn't have been here...

"J-J-Jasperr...?" I murmured. he appear as if out of thin air. He looked just like he did in my dreams. I took in his appearance as if he would vanish. I made mental notes of every difference.

But there was none. His face had not aged a day; His blonde hair was just as I remember paler maybe... he seemed to glow; He was an angel, unreal, too beautiful to be true. Edward was next to him, and both were walking- running towards me. They weren't real though, I told myself. They. Were. Not. Here...

Jasper reached out a white hand. I don't know why, but i backed away. From fear? I was afraid, afraid that this beautiful man was a trick. And I would too soon loose myself in his eyes, pools I knew well, then his voice...and it would be that much harder to live when he was gone. Dreams were different, they were safe. I could tell my dreams were only dreams. But he was more difficult to decipher. He was too real...but he couldn't have been real

He ignored my attempt to move. He placed a glowing hand on my face. And looked into my eyes.

And then I knew I wasn't dreaming. he was really here, a ghost from my past. An angel. I was so excited, so happy so shocked. I opened my mouth to speak...

But only a scream came out. Pain filled my body, seemed to course through my veins. Everything went black...
