The stunned silence that came back to me was deafening. I have never seen so many vampires go into shock before. If I didn't know they were already dead I would have said they were having a heart attack. It could have been hours since anyone last spoke, and I wouldn't have noticed. All I could see was his face. I could see the disbelief on his face, but under that and the shock I noticed a hint of recognition… he remembered. He must have remembered from the last time I said those words to him. Hope filled me… maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Please say something. Anything," I pleaded. I needed to know what he thought. Yet he stayed silent. The only one moving at all was the pixie. She had a huge smile and was bouncing up and down.

Maybe he didn't remember after all. My heart grew cold and I sunk to the floor. It was all just another day in paradise I guess. Something started to vibrate, it took me a while to realise it was my phone. It was only a few months ago that I got this phone because my daughter begged me to get one so she could keep in touch. Other than that I have never used it before. So I knew it was her calling me now.

I excused myself and went outside to answer. I wasn't sure how Edward would react with me talking to her in front of him. I flipped the phone as I went.

"Mom…?"

Edward's POV

Bella walked outside with the phone to her ear. I couldn't move. It was unreal that this beautiful angel could just walk into my life and tell me that I already knew her… that we had a child. Why couldn't I remember? Surely I wouldn't want to forget someone like that. Or my child. Everyone's thoughts were speeding through the possibilities that this was all true. I could tell that Rosalie didn't fully believe her yet she always wanted me to have someone, and to have someone younger around to be a role model to. Esme was thinking the same kind of thing. Carlisle was trying to remember Bella from my human years. Surely if she knew me she must know him as well? He was my doctor after all.

I tried to read Alice's thoughts but she blocked me singing that god awful Star-struck song (by 3OH3 ft Katy Perry).

Get out of my head Edward!!! She yelled at me. You're not allowed to see what she looks like. You have to wait like everyone else…Damn. Sometimes I hate that she knows me so well. I tried to listen to Bella's thoughts once more but like before, nothing. It's like she not there even though I can still hear her talking quietly on the phone. Was that my child on the phone? Or maybe it was someone else. My heart started to hurt at just the thought of her moving on, of not being with me. Jasper shot a quick glance at me.

You ok Edward? You're feeling a little depressed and I really dont want to feel it from two of you at once. I will go crazy...Two? Does that mean Bella could feel the same way? No, she couldnt. There was one way to find out the truth. I want to meet my daughter. Alice squealed and everyone turned to look at her but she just skipped to me and hugged my tightly.

"It will all work out. You'll see." She whispered into my ear. I hoped she was right...

Bella's POVI talked to Ness for a while before making my way back in. She was suppose to come up for christmas, guess I will have to just go down there now. I cant risk her getting hurt from Edward not knowing who she is. Of course she knows all about him from the stories I told her and the old drawings. And it seems her boyfriend told her even more. Sometimes I wish he wouldnt ruin the surprises. She wants to meet her father now. What am I suppose to tell him?

Taking a deep breath, I turned to Edward to ask him what he wanted to do only to find him walking towards me. I froze. He stopped a foot in front of me and stared straight into my eyes. My breath hitched, even now he was beautiful. I missed his green eyes but topaz was nearly as good. I knew everyone else was just as confused as me - except Alice of course, she seemed to know everything.

"I want to meet her." He said in a clear voice with no hesitation.

"What?" I asked stupidly.

"My daughter. I want to see her. Please." He gave me the sad eyes. How could I say no to that? No matter how much I wanted to, I couldnt help but give in.

"Ok...."
