Disclaimer: S. Meyers owns all of Twilight….unfair….but Emmett owns me. Which is awesome. ;)

A/N: Okay, with school and junk, the updates might slow down a little but, seriously, those reviews made me get my butt into gear. Lol. I really want to make you guys happy but you gotta keep giving me feedback on whatcha want. I'll try to keep it updated at least every other day but, I guarantee there will be times I can't. Thank you all so much, hope you're enjoying the story, and on with the story…

I woke up early the next day, around two a.m., the night skill dark and foggy. Alice was sitting in the rocking chair, staring blankly ahead. Her eyes appeared to be focused on a photo on the wall from my high school graduation. I sat up slowly, feeling every muscle protest and groan at the movement.

"I wanted to be there…Wanted to see you graduate in person. I really wasn't supposed to even watch through my visions, but I couldn't help it." She turned her liquid gold eyes to me; she looked somber, and it hurt to witness such a cheerful person behave this way.

"I…have to tell you something. I…I knew. I knew Edward would go to Rosalie. I thought that I could change the outcome of my visions…change that version of the future, but it only seemed to grow stronger with time. So, thinking I had no other alternative, I left, and made sure Edward left too. He would have anyway, and if you had seen what it was going to be like before, you would thank me. It would have been way worse. Anyway, I thought you might re-adapt to this type of society. Normal human society.I thought the weres would watch over you, but still allow for you to have a normal life..."

I sat up, enthralled by her words, although they caused me pain. She spoke as if she were talking to herself, quiet and reflective. So I listened, hanging upon her every word.

"I began to get other visions, ones that were less defined but more complex. After talking with Carlisle and Esme, I decided to come out here to warn you. Hopefully placing myself within the path of what is to come. Before you ask, Charlie is fine. He came in, with dinner and laundry already done, and you fast asleep. I called him and asked to speak with you. I will 'officially' arrive tomorrow."

I sluggishly dragged myself out of the bed and sat close to her feet, leaning my head on her lap. Her delicate hand rubbed soothing circles on my scalp.

"I know it's been hard, Bella. I wish I could have kept this all from you…but more is on the way. We need to be prepared in the event of your change, if the future goes that way. I will do my best to be here and aid you in any way I can…I missed you, Bella."

She looked down at me, and I got the impression that if she could be crying, she would be. I reached my arms around her, pulling myself into her stone embrace. I inhaled her sweet scent, forcing myself to etch this into my memory, even if it hurt me later.

"I missed you too, Alice."

I leaned my head into the crook of her neck, and we sat there on the floor, holding each other until I fell back asleep.

A banging on my door woke me up, startling me out of a sound sleep. I glanced at the clock beside my bed that read '12:47' in red, digital, glowing numbers. I pulled myself out of bed and gradually made my way to the door. I opened the door to reveal a very excited Charlie, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hurry up downstairs, you have a visitor." I nodded my head and pulled my thick hair into a pony tail, trying to get it out of my face. I glanced down at myself, taking in the blue moon and star pajama bottoms with a light blue tank top that Alice must have put me in while I slept. Wow…I must have been really tired.

I slowly made my way downstairs, making sure not to trip over any stairs on my way down. I really wanted a cup of coffee and an aspirin; my head was throbbing from last night's drama. I went to the kitchen and grabbed an empty cup and the French vanilla creamer, then poured a cup of Columbian roast coffee. Taking a small sip, I headed out to the living room to see Alice. I blew on the hot liquid, the steam swirling over the rim of the cup.

"Sorry. I really wanted a cup of coffee." I walked into the room, keeping both eyes on my coffee and sock-covered feet, making sure not to trip.

"It's okay…" I dropped the cup abruptly, thankfully missing any skin. My eyes shot upward taking in the very un-Alice like voice who had responded.

"EMMETT?!"

Emmett sat on the sofa, his large muscular body taking up more than half of it. His gold eyes were alight with laughter and joy, and his dark hair was slightly unruly with his short curls. He was supporting a wide, white grin, complete with dimples. Emmett could honestly look unthreatening if he wanted, but usually his large size was intimidating and frightening."Hey, Bella. How's my favorite little human?"

A/N: Yay! I am so happy Emmett is here! Now its going to get good, believe me, I get as worked up as you guys when the story is in the transition period. Thanks guys, and please review! Mental hugs and kisses, and if you haven't already, please check out "Punishment", and tell me what you think. :)
