Bella POV

I stood on the towel and watched as Seth pulled my daughter in for a hug. I laughed. At least she wouln't have to worry about me not liking who she was dating. I wanted to be mad, but I just couldn't. I loved them both so much. I sat on the towel, and looked to the sky, wanting to think. Could I want Edward? Would it ever be the same with him? I missed him so much! But could I be with him? I missed the ones I used to call my family so much! They probably hated me for leaving him. But I didn't care. Edward would be enough. I could at least try it. I smiled to myself as I layed down and closed my eyes, pretending to be human again and just letting my thoughts carry me away.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark. We had been here for a long time. I went to gather my kids and found only Renee and Conner.

"Where's Rosalice?" I asked Renee. She pointed down toward the shore.

"She's right there. With Seth!" She replied mockingly. I took an unnessesary big breath and shouted for her.

"Coming!" she replied. She reluctantly looked over at Seth and had to say their goodbyes. She quickly pecked a shocked Seth on the lips and ran over to me.

"Don't think I didn't see that." I told her. She laughed.

"Wasn't worried about it." And with that we headed home.

When we finally arrived at the house, I sent the kids to their rooms, complaining that I wanted some alone time. I planned to talk to Edward. That is, I planned to talk to him before I realized I had no clue how. Just then, I heard a soft knock at the door. I ran over and swung it open. There he was, looking sheepishly at his feet.

"Hello." He said quietly.

Kids, if I find out you're listening, Conner's banned from the pack, I'm taking away Renee's iPod, and Rosalice isn't allowed to see Seth! I didn't want to do it, but I knew that would stop them from listening.

I heard a simultanious, Aw man!

"Hey." I finally stumbled out. "Umm... I've been thinking..."

"Me too." he interrupted. "I shouln't have pushed you like that, wanting an answer right then."

"Edward." He cut me off again.

"I shouldn't have pushed you like that, it's just..." he paused. "Bella, I love you so much and I've been..."

"Edward."

"...waiting for an opportunity like this for years and..." I put my index finger to his lips and shushed him. What he just said was just the little push I needed.

"Edward! I thought about this a lot today, and I want to give us a try again. There's no garentees, but I want to be with you again. For now." And before he could say another word, I gently put my lips to his and sighed. As I pulled back, he mirrored my thoughts. He was surprised to say the least, but managed to say quietly,

"You don't know how long it's been since I've felt that. " I laughed.

"Actually, I do." He smiled my favorite crooked grin.

"I guess you do have a pretty good guess!" My face suddenly got really serious, and he got a worried look on his. "What's wrong?"

"Edward... I want to see the ones that used to be my family."
