Because I'm so awesome, I finished chapter 2. Stephanie Meyers owns everything twilight…because she is cool like that. ENJOY!

Previously in Chapter 1

"Wait a second", I said, "Could you put him on speaker? I won't talk or anything, I just want to hear his voice."

"Of course Bella." He then pressed speaker and send. It rang and rang and then I finally heard him.

"Hello?" Carlisle answered on the other end. I almost fell out of my chair. It was him. It was really him! My father. It took everything in me not to yank the phone out of Benjamin's hands to talk to him.

"Carlisle, its Benjamin Lucas! How are you doing?"

"Benjamin! I am doing quite well. It has been far to long. How is everything with you?"

"I am doing wonderfully. Listen Carlisle, I was planing on making a hunting trip some time this week up near Washington and I was wondering if you would like to get together?"

"That sounds great. You can stop by my house and meet my family." Family? I guess he considered his coven his family. "When do you think you will be stopping by?"

"I was thinking maybe Thursday?" Benjamin looked to me to make sure that was ok. I nodded yes. It would give me some time to pack my stuff and get ready for this.

"Thursday will do just fine with me." Carlisle agreed.

"Oh Carlisle, there is one other thing. Do you mind if I bring a guest with me? Another vegetarian…of some sorts", he said winking at me. I tried not to laugh.

"Why that would be quite alright with me. The more the merrier! If you don't mind me asking, who are you bringing with you?"

"Oh", I don't think he was prepared for that question, "Well, her name is Bella. A new friend of mine…we thought it would be nice to take a hunting trip together." Nice save Benjamin I thought.

"Well, I look forward to meeting her. I have to get going but I will see you both Thursday. It was great hearing from you Benjamin"

"Same to you. We will see you Thursday. Goodbye Carlisle"

"Goodbye", and with that he hung up.

"Well Bella", Benjamin began, "I've got to get going and pack for our trip and book our flights. You should get to packing yourself. I will call you tomorrow about when I will be picking you up to leave. The flight will be late tomorrow night because you may not sparkle in the sun, but I do. And I don't feel like walking into the airport explaining to every single person why diamonds are coming out of my skin", he said laughing. He then got up and I walked him to the door.

"Thank you so much for everything. I really cant thank you enough", I said hugging him.

"It is no problem Bella. Carlisle is a long time friend of mine, and I know he will be thrilled when he finally meets you. I will see you tomorrow night. Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Sarah", he yelled to her back in the living room.

"Goodbye Mr. Lucas see you tomorrow", Sarah yelled back. He waved to her and then left.

I closed the front door and slowly turned to look at Sarah, who had the biggest grin on her face.

"Bella! I can't begin to tell you how extremely happy I am for you right now! This is the moment you've been waiting your entire life for", she said getting up running over to me giving me a hug.

"I know Sarah I know. I can't believe this is happening. But Sarah, we have spent the last 200 years together. What am I ever going to do without you?" I tried not to cry. I really tried. But I couldn't help it. It was a mixture of sad and happy tears. I was happy I finally found my father, but sad I was leaving Sarah.

"Silly Bella. I'm always going to be here for you. Anytime you need me, I'll be there for you. Were like ying and yang. We'll always be best friends. But what right now, you need to go and see your father. I wouldn't have it any other way", she said wiping her own tears away. Crying was something half-human, half-vampires did. "So", she said walking to the kitchen, "lets finish this pasta up and get you packed and ready for Washington!" I was excited and terrified all at the same time.

All last night I packed everything I needed. By 3 o'clock in the morning I was exhausted. I am half-human after all, I need to sleep sometime. I woke up the next morning fired up and ready to go. Benjamin called around noon to tell me he would be picking me up at 7 tonight to leave. I spent my day hanging around Sarah. We talked about everything we had been through. Laughing and crying about all of our memories together. We have had a good run, but it was time for the next chapter in my life to begin.

7 on the dot Benjamin was at my front door. He helped me carry my luggage to his car. I picked up my last bag and stuffed it in the trunk. I slammed it and turned around to find Sarah looking like she was about to cry again. For her it must seem like she was sending her child off to camp for the first time because she was a mother to me in some sorts. She did raise me. I ran to Sarah and gave her one last big hug.

"Now you listen to me Isabella", she began, "you better call me every single chance that you get do you understand me?"

"Of course I do Sarah. God I'm going to miss you. I love you so much", I said squeezing her tightly letting the tears fall.

"I love you to Bella. Now go to your father." She pulled away and smiled. I ran to the Benjamin's car and waved my last goodbye to Sarah. I hoped in the car and Benjamin then pulled out of the driveway.

The flight to Washington was going to be a long one. I was to damn nervous to sleep because I knew when we got there I would be meeting my father. GOD! I tried to sit still in my chair and read my book but it just wasn't helping I couldn't concentrate.

"Bella? Are you alright? Just relax and stop freaking out", Benjamin said calmly.

"Freaking out? Oh, I'm not freaking out! I'm completely and totally relaxed. See look at me! I'm relaxed!" I said pointing to my face rocking back and forth wailing as loud as I could, trying not to wake the other passengers. I must have looked like a crazy person because Benjamin was laughing so hard he looked like he was going to fall out of his chair.

"Bella, Bella", he said trying to stop his laughing, "everything is going to be alright. I promise you. You'll be ok. Carlisle is a very nice man, he is going to like you very much I promise." I turned away looking out the window. After a few moments of silence I turned back to Benjamin.

"So, where in Washington does Carlisle live?" He never did say exactly.

"Well after we land in Seattle, where going to be heading to a town by the name of Forks. Its very small."

15 hours and one layover later we finally made it to Washington. The nervousness started acting up inside me again. We went to baggage claim and got out luggage. Then we went to the rental car place and headed to Forks.

"How long is it going to take to drive there?" I asked. I wasn't quite ready to hop out of the car anytime soon.

"About two hours Bella. Like I said, relax you'll be ok. I think I should call Carlisle and tell him were on our way. Try and sleep" Sleep. I forgot I still needed sleep. I was so nervous I forgot how exhausted I was. So I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep awaiting to arrive in Forks for the single most important moment in my life.

A/N

Thanks for the reviews so far I really appreciate them! I know we all hate cliffhangers, but I will hopefully have the next chapter up by tomorrow. In case any of you were wondering, Bella was living in London with Sarah. I never put that in there in the beginning so I went back to Chapter 1 and fixed it. So now you know! Next chapter Bella finally meets Carlisle….and Edward of course. Please, please review! The more reviews, the faster I will write the next chapter.
