A/N: Here's chapter. . . Still clueless. I'm bad at this. Anyway, sorry for the wait! I had my birthday party, but my actual birthday isn't until the 21st. But we all had fun! I have nothing else to say so I'll just get on with the chapter!

Bella POV

I slowly opened my door. I turned around before getting out and faced Criss.

"Baby, can you be a good girl and sit here while I handle something?" She nodded and I rolled down the windows slightly, enough to left air in but where the rain wouldn't get in. I swiftly closed my door and marched towards the house. I didn't look at either one of them. I got up to the porch and I stood there for a second, my backs facing them.

"Bella, I-" I cut her off immediately. I was angry at her and Rosalie.

"Why did you tell her?" I snapped. My back was still facing them but my head was leaning slightly to the side and looking back so they knew I was waiting for an answer.

"Bella!" Her voice almost cracked at my question. "I didn't say anything! We were trying to get Esme to leave, no offense, and she wouldn't. Then you showed up and she was wondering who it was and we had to tell her! She would have found out anyway!" I sighed, thankful that at least she didn't say anything about Criss. As long as I could tell her about it, I was fine. I turned around, my head still bent down, and waited for Alice to spring her hug on me. It came soon, just like I knew it would, and she began crying onto my shoulder. Esme and Rosalie soon came up, wrapping their arms around me as well. We stood there for a while, just hugging when I remembered Criss sitting in the car, waiting for me to come get her. I suddenly pushed my way out, rushing to the car. Rosalie and Alice knew I didn't mean anything by it, but Esme looked shocked.

"Sorry!" I yelled over my shoulder. I quickly unbuckled Criss, tucking her into my arms and holding her tightly. I whispered in her ear, saying things like be nice and behave. I noticed they had gone inside and I simply walked in like I used to. I walked the familiar path to the living room and I heard gasps come from the room as I walked in.

"She's beautiful!" Alice gushed, taking Criss' hands and swinging them around. Criss giggled, a huge smile wrapping around her tiny face. Rosalie stood and softly padded towards us. A smile to match Criss' was on her face as she watched Alice play with Criss. Rosalie always had a soft spot for children. She was so disappointed when the doctor had told her that there was a very small chance she would have children. She had been crushed and my situation didn't help her mood. But right now she just beamed at Criss. She opened her arms and Criss made movement to her arms. Rosalie bounced her up and down causing giggles to erupt from both of them and smiles broke out on everyone's faces. Esme made her way towards us, questioning me with a look, but still managing to smile.

"Bella, it this your child?" I weakly nodded and I heard Esme gasp.

"Is that why you left?" I nodded once more, praying that she wouldn't notice her eyes, anything but the eyes. But I knew when she gasped once more, my hopes were lost.

"Her eyes!" Esme exclaimed. I turned to Rosalie and whispered in her ear,

"Please take Criss upstairs. I don't want her hearing about this." She mutely nodded and headed up the stairs, talking in sweet coos to Criss.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't want him to know. I don't think he would want her and I know he wouldn't want me, especially after what I did to him."

"But don't you think it would have been better to just have told him?"

"I don't know Esme." I sank into a chair and started sobbing. I'm glad I decided to send Criss away or otherwise she would be worrying over me. Esme hugged me, trying to calm me down and began whispering in my ear like a mother does to console a child when he falls down and scrapes his knee. When I finally cried the last tear, I looked up. Esme was watching me and Alice had on her thinking face, as if she was contemplating if she should break the promise or not.

"Look, whatever you do, don't tell him about my visit or about Criss. If I want him to know, I'll be the one to tell him."

"Alright sweetie." She gave me a warm comforting smile and another hug. She pulled back and looked me straight in the eye.

"Bella, dear, he wouldn't have minded having a child. That's what he always dreamed about! I know, weird, right? But he couldn't wait to have a family."

"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking about me as his future bride." Both Alice and Esme laughed at what I said. I looked at them, confusion clearly written across my face.

"Bella, all Edward dreamed about was you." I looked at them as if they were madmen and they laughed it off again.

"Bella, will you please stay for dinner?"

"I don't know. . ."

"Please? We won't tell your secret!"

"Wow, this is that night all over again." Alice flinched at the memory and a pain stricken expression flashed on Esme's face but quickly disappeared as a smile took it's place.

"I'm sorry guys. For leaving so suddenly."

"You know, all these years I wondered what those notes were about and why you acted so strange at dinner the night before and now I know why. Oh Bella, I'm just so happy you're back!"

"Me too! But listen, you can't me Bella around the guys. They don't know it's me. Especially you know who." They both nodded their heads, Alice promising to Rosalie before they got home. Esme was just about to head into the kitchen when she suddenly turned around.

"I almost forgot! Does Charlie know, because he's coming tonight. It became a tradition after you, well you know what happened." I nodded my head and she smiled, walking back into the kitchen.

Alice and Rosalie had a blast playing with Criss. They were dressing her up real nice, telling her about the times that played Bella Barbie while she sat there and pouted. I laughed at the three and Alice gave me a face and threw a shoe at me. It wasn't long before I heard cars pulling in and laughter from outside.

"They're home" Alice whispered as she walked by. I heard her talking to Jasper and saw her jump into his arms. Rosalie came down as well and gave Emmett a kiss. Carlisle gave Esme a kiss when she came in and even Charlie had someone with him. He kissed her as well, beaming. I heard a sigh and realized it came from Edward. I walked in and creeped behind Edward.

"Boo!" I yelled. He jumped, startled and smiled when he saw me.

"Hello Andy."

"Hello Edward." At least he doesn't hate Andy.

"Where's Criss?"

"I'm right here!" Everyone turned around to see clothes way to big for her on here and makeup smeared every where. Everyone laughed except Alice who freaked over her makeup. Typical Alice. But in the ended she just giggled over how she looked.

"Come on, I need to clean you up." She giggled, grabbing my hand and following me upstairs.

"Edward?" I said, stopping to turn around. He was leaving the room when he heard me.

"Yes?"

"Can you show me where I can clean up Criss?" I had to act like I didn't know where everything was so things wouldn't get to suspicious.

"Sure." He led us up the stairs and into the bathroom.

"Here it is."

"Thank you." I said, smiling.

"Do you need any help?" I looked at him, confused. Why would he want to help? I agreed and we began cleaning her off, giving her a bath and getting wet ourselves. There were a lot of giggles and in the end, we all had to change clothes.

"Where can I change?"

"You could check my sister's Alice closet. She has clothes that would probably fit you from when she would dress up Be-" He cut off when he came to my name. I blushed and bowed my head as he apologized.

"It's okay. I guess that you and, well, my cousin, didn't get along very well."

"That's not it!" He immediately shouted. He flushed and turned his head to the side to hide his shame.

"Then what is it?" He sighed, knowing that eventually this question would come up.

"Andy, I'm going to tell you something that you can't tell anyone else." He paused, waiting for me to agree first. I nodded my head and he continued.

"When Bella," He struggled to say my name, "and I were younger, were best friends. She was wonderful. She laughed at all my jokes, she was always kind to me, and she never made fun of anyone. She told me once that if she didn't want to be made fun of, she wasn't going to make fun of them. I always loved her. But when I was younger, it was love for a sister. I didn't see her as anything else. But as we got older, we matured. She was a tomboy as a child but when she got older she changed into a beautiful young woman." he paused as he saw tears in my eyes.

"What's wrong?" I shook my head, choking back tears.

"Are you sure you're fine." I nodded and he went on with his story.

"I fell in love with her, slowly, day by day. The more she matured, the more I fell in love. I could tell she didn't love me back. Then one day she just left. She left a note to everybody explaining that she was sorry for leaving. She wrote a note to everyone else and only they could read it. I didn't get one. The sad part? She never said goodbye. The night before, she avoided me. I just wish she would have told me something, anything. Even if it was 'I never want to see you again.'" I broke down right there when he said that. He rushed to my side and rubbed my back, trying to calm me down. I cried even harder, guilty about what I did to him.

"Andy? What's the matter?" He asked frantically. I shook my head and he simply picked me up, carrying me to his bedroom. He placed me on the bed and I grew tired from the crying. He covered me up and I heard him call downstairs to start without him. His foots padded down the stairs as he went to get something. I dozed off but was quickly woken up when something cold was placed on my forehead. My eyes shot open and I came face to face with Edward. He smiled his crooked smile and I weakly smiled back.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just. . ." he nodded, shaking it off.

"May I go change?" I said, pushing myself up.

"Yes. There will be clothes in her room."

"Thank you." I sat up and got out off bed. I stepped out of the room and saw Edward watching me as I went. I quickly went to Alice's room, changing into new clothes. When I came out I saw Edward standing in the hall, smirking.
