EPOV

I didn't take my eyes off the road the whole time home, and I didn't speed as usual. Bella seemed to sense that I was upset but didn't say anything after we began driving.

I was mentally kicking myself now, I can't believe I had let this girl kiss me. If my Bella where here she would never forgive me, a thought that made me feel sick to my stomach. But there was something about the words she spoke, and the way she touched me, and that damned smell that told me not to just throw her out of my car on her ass right then and there.

I fought the urge to open the door for her as I got out of the car, and without complaint she seemed content to open her own door. I walked up the steps to the door, ahead of her, anxious to be in a room with someone besides her.

The door slammed shut, and it was apparent that Alice had already told everyone about the stranger is my car as 12 eyes stared at the two of us standing in the walkway. Carlisle was the first to speak, "Please come in you two." I glanced behind me and the duplicate was smiling widely at everyone in the room.

"It's nice to see you all again!" she gushed, I could tell she was trying to control herself from running and hugging everyone in the room. She was trying to get us all used to the idea that she could be Bella. I gulped at the thought as I sat suddenly in the nearest chair. Noting the tension she chose to sit on the couch, while everyone continued to stand around gaping.

Alice cleared her throat, "So you are…" her voice trailed off, she obviously knew the answer but wanted to hear it for herself.

Bella only smiled looking up at her, "I'm Isabella Marie Swan, but I prefer everyone called me Bella," she said confidently not seeming surprised by the obvious shock wave resounding through the room, "But than again you should know that Alice!" That threw everyone off even more as Alice plopped onto the floor still openly gaping.

"So let's get straight to it shall we?" Everyone stared at Bella as she looked back at us all expectantly, "Oh come on, I know that's why I was brought here! Carlisle, is it possible after being dead for a thousand years I could be back in one way or another?" We were all stunned at her intuition.

Carlisle cleared his throat, "Well…." he began, scratching the back of his neck, "I've never heard of such a thing before." We all sat in silence, everyone still staring at Bella, but I couldn't bring myself to keep looking at her so instead I looked at the rest of my family.

"You're so much like her though," Rose was the first to speak, and we were all shocked, as we knew Bella hadn't been her favorite person, "Well…except maybe a bit more confident…" but with that reply, almost to prove her wrong Bella blushed in such a Bella fashion and hid her face behind her hair, and Emmett furrowed his brows.

"How could it be possible though?" he asked to nobody in particular.

Nobody knew how to answer that so instead we resumed the silence. I could feel Bella's eyes on me, pleading me to turn towards her, to acknowledge her in someway but I remained still.

"You guys could ask me things to be sure," she whispered. Nobody said anything, so she continued on her own.

"Alice, you love to shop and dress people up. Especially me because you always thought I was so plain. You're like my sister, Emmett, you used to make fun of me for…well everything I did; especially when I would trip or blush, Carlisle you were like a father in your own way to me, always believing in Edward that he would never hurt me because of how much he loved me," she paused them glancing around the room at the shocked faces, "And Esme," she said getting up from her place and going to hold Esme's hand, who willingly took it, "you were always like a mother to me. Making sure I was fed, and getting enough sleep. Always hugging me and making me feel a part of this family…" she stopped now, as tears brimmed her eyes. Esme reached out to wipe them away.

"Well I believe her," Alice chirped, bouncing up to embrace her. I could hear them all silently agree as their attention turned to me. I turned away from them, angrily, annoyed that they had accepted this duplicate so easily.

I got up, standing by the window as I closed my eyes trying to shut out the world around me. As usual I could see my Bella's face, I cried out to her in my head. Willing her to show me what to do, if I should believe this person in my house. But nothing came, after a few moments all I could see was her smiling up at me before taking her final breath. My heart broke again as I recalled knowing she was truly gone, and I knew that was just it. She was gone, and this imposter couldn't possibly be her.

He stood staring out the window away from me. Everyone had quickly agreed I was the real deal and not a fake. They had been asking me questions now. Who were my parents? How could this be possible? Everything was a flutter as they tried to figure out why and how this had happened.

But my mind wasn't on them. I stared at Edward lost in his pain. He was reliving losing me over and over again and I could see it in his expression. I wanted to go to him, to tell him I was the real deal, but I knew he would only push me away, making me feel rejected.

I tried to stay positive, and focus on what everyone else was saying, but my heart was crying for him to reach out to me. To try to believe it was me. My eyes began to water, and Alice quickly grabbed my hand dragging me upstairs.

"He'll come to his senses," she said bringing me into her old familiar room, "It was just so hard on him when he lost you." Her eyes filled with pain and I knew she was reliving the pain of losing me herself. She quickly hugged me before pulling back.

"A hundred years later and you still don't know how to dress yourself!" she proclaimed, as she being pulling clothes out of her closet to shove me into. I rolled my eyes, but played along having missed her so much.

"Bella," she said suddenly, interrupting her makeover, "where are you staying?" I shrugged, looking down. I had been sleeping in my old house. Charlie had left it to me, and when I'd died I had left it to the Cullens. I knew Alice would see it in her vision, so when I came back I stayed in the house. It had been kept up over the years, nothing changed, and it remained unoccupied.

"At my house," I finally answered, and she smiled, seeming to like that answer.

"You can always stay here if you want. We're your family! And I'm sure it must be hard staying there without Charlie," I swallowed as I nodded.

"I miss him," I stated, looking up at her with tear filled eyes.

She hugged me quickly to her, but continued her makeover of me. I was lost in thought again as she flurried around me.

"Alice," I asked quietly, afraid of my own voice, but I knew she would hear me.

"Hmm," she answered nonchalantly, a couple of bobby pins in her mouth.

"How will I get him to come around?" I asked, and she pulled the bobby pins from her mouth grimacing.

"I don't know Bells, I really don't know," she sighed, but I still had one more thing I had to ask her.

"Do you think he'll change me this time?" Alice looked at me, with the saddest expression, and she only shrugged.
