A/N: Okay, I am sick of writing down all of my characters. It's a lot of work! Read and review!

I took deep breaths that night as I sat on the bed. I had apparently fainted right after he said he could break it and Seth brought me home so we never learned how to break it. At least not yet.

"Bella? Are you okay?" Seth asked as he knocked on the door and I turned slightly to look at him, keeping my back mostly to him. I nodded and he walked over and sat next to me, holding my hands between his. "Bella… I need you to answer something for me. Truthfully."

"Of course, Seth! I wouldn't lie to you!" I exclaimed, feeling a little hurt. Did he really think I'd lie to him? He dropped my hands and stood, heading over to the window. He let his forearm lay against the window, his forehead against it, staring out into the forest.

"If this… if this way… to break the imprint… if it works… will you take it?" He turned to look at me and I saw his hurt but I also saw his joy. We had both been lying about how we really felt. He wanted Bliss. I knew he did but she wasn't going to be here until tomorrow. How did he know she hasn't already gotten a mate?

"I-I don't know… I love… I love what we've made! This family. I… I don't want to rip it apart…" I told him.

"Bella… Do you love me? Of course you love the kids… but what about me?" he pressed and I nibbled my lower lip. Did I love him? I thought I did but that was before he returned. "I understand if you d-"

"Don't. I just need a minute to think, okay? I'm going to sleep in the guest room," I told Seth and he sighed, shaking his head as Matt began to cry.

"Okay. I'll give you time," he replied before leaving the room to comfort Matt. I grabbed some shorts and a tank top and dropped them off at the guest room before heading into the boys' room. Seth was holding Matt and Matt was mostly asleep. Lake was still sleeping and I kissed his forehead before moving over to Matt and Seth. Seth smiled weakly and I kissed Matt's head.

"'Night," I whispered to Seth before lightly kissing his lips. Depending on how I felt, that could be the last of many kisses.

I couldn't sleep most of the night. I missed warm arms around my body as I always had. Seth had always kept me warm and now I was alone, trying to keep warm with a blanket. There was a scratch at the window around 2am, like nails against a chalkboard and I darted up out of bed, glancing outside the window.

"Bella, let me in!" I heard a deep, masculine voice demand. It sounded familiar so I popped open the window and then a howl rang throughout the woods. I tumbled backwards and suddenly a tall male stood before me. He didn't have long hair like Jacob but he was quite muscular.

"E-Emmett?" I stuttered and I saw glimmering white teeth before I heard a bang and Matt began to cry. "Great, you woke up the… EMMETT! PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed as he picked me up and spun me around. The door busted open and there stood Seth. Matt still cried.

"Back away," Seth demanded and Emmett looked at me slightly confused.

"Sorry. Seth, go call the pack off. Emmett's fine here. You woke up the baby. Thanks," I snapped, grabbing Emmett's arm and dragging him out of the room. Matt's crying had stopped.

"MOMMY!" Lake's voice rang from the bedroom and I ran to see Lake cowering in the corner of the bedroom. A shorthaired thin figure stood by the window. I flipped on the light to see Alice.

"Haha, sorry. They were awake before I got here. I came with Emmett," she announced and I tilted my head, noticing she held Matt in her arms. "Oh, and did I mention I'm good with kids?"

"Alice. Why are you here?" I asked, pulling Lake up into my arms. He seemed heavy but that didn't bother me too much. He was my little six year old.

"Well, you see-" she started but not before there was a growl outside the window and then Leah stood human inside the room as well.

"Weah!" Matt squealed and I sighed. He wasn't getting back to bed now.

"Put him down!" she demanded and Alice quickly obeyed, backing up next to Emmett and I. Emmett stood in front of Alice with his fists raised.

"Emmett, down. Leah, chill. Alice is my friend. Leah is…" I didn't want to say it. It was so sick and disturbing and I had gotten so mad at her for it but she seemed content with the way nature worked out.

"I'm Matt's mate so back off before I kill you," she threatened and Emmett looked at Alice and me.

"I'm sorry. Leah, why don't I bring Matt over in a few minutes after I get a bag ready for him? Then you can have him for all of tomorrow," I told her and she snorted.

"I'm staying here with him until it's time to head to my house, got it?" I nodded in understandment. I hadn't ever seen an imprint affect anyone so much like Leah.

"Well, why don't we go make some pancakes for Seth and talk this through," I offered and Alice made a face. "Their for Seth and I. We eat food." She nodded and we all headed down to the kitchen. I quickly pulled together a bowl of cereal and Lake grinned up at me as I set it down in front of him.

"So why did you all come back? Is it just a visit?" I asked and Alice nodded, glancing over at Emmett. Seth wandered in, kissing my cheek and I had a feeling it was just to make Alice angry, which he succeeded at.

"I'm mad at you, Isabella! First, you get married. And then you have boys!" she squealed and I felt kind of offended. "I didn't get to plan your wedding and now I can't dress your kids up in frilly dresses!"

"Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry!" I answered, hugging her, she shoved me back lightly. I stepped away.

"Sorry, you smell bad. But that's not the reason we've come back," she told me and I nodded, figuring it wasn't.

"So, why?" Seth butted in. Leah had gotten Matt back to sleep.

"I'm going to go pack his bag," Leah told me and I nodded as she took him out of the room. Lake made a slurping sound and then burped.

"Mommy, I'm tired," he whined and I sighed. How many more interruptions?

"Head into the living room to the couch, okay, Honey?" I told him and he nodded sleepily and then wandered off.

"Well, Bella. I have news for you," Alice started.

"Great, because I need that right now," I snapped and she looked taken aback. I shook my head. "It's not you. It's just that Jake come back today and he knows how to break an imprint and I don't know what I want right now."

"Wait, you and Seth are imprints?" Emmett asked and I nodded.

"Didn't you all know? I sent Edward an email about it," I mentioned and Alice looked at her lap. "Wait, what's wrong with Edward?"

"Bella, it's bad," Alice told me and I shook my head quickly. I hated bad news and lately I was getting too much of that. "You have to listen to me." She stood, putting her small hands on my shoulders and staring into my eyes.

"I don't want to," I moaned, collapsing into an unoccupied chair.

"You have to!" Alice commanded and I looked over at her soft face. She was so beautiful and I was jealous.

"What? What's this awful news? My life couldn't get any worse!" I screamed, banging my head onto the table as I began to cry. I already knew what she was going to say.

"Edward's dead."
