"She's got leukemia?" said Emmett with wide questioning eyes. Rose is behind him rubbing his back.

I give him a nod. "She was diagnosed shortly after we left on tour. I just found out yesterday."

"How are you handling it," asks Jasper.

Both he and Rose understood what it was like when Lizzie died. They watched as our family fracture in trying to deal with it. Hell, I think in the weeks and months afterward I practically lived at Jasper's house. The grief in mine was too overwhelming.

"Shocked, surprised, scared, worried, you name it, I felt it. The good thing is that hers isn't like Lizzie's Out of all the kinds of leukemia to have, hers is rather curable if it's caught early enough."

One of the first things I had done when I got home was research her type. The relief I felt at seeing how good of a chance at remission she has is staggering. My eyes welled up in joy. Lizzie's was chronic; there was never any real hope for her to recover.

"So, what does this have to do with us?" Leave it to Rose to get right to the point. She isn't being callous; she just wants to get down to the heart of the matter.

I take a deep breath knowing that my ability to keep my promise to Bella rests in my bands hands. "I'm hoping that you would be on board with taking our time with the next album, not rushing into recording it. I really want to be with Bella, to help her through this." I look at them all, "It's important for me to be there for her."

I look at each of them. Emmett is concerned with how I'll handle all of this. Rose looks surprised that I feel this way about a girl and Jasper looks happy. Out of all of them, he alone knew the true extent of how I really feel about Bella.

He was the one I went to talk to when it was hard being away from her. He was the one to help me make sense of the jumble of emotions that threatened to crush me with their weight.

Their silence is uncomfortable and disheartening. As I start to beg and plead my case, Rose speaks up.

"You want us to basically give you some more time to spend with Bella? Not rush into recording and such?"

I nod and beseech them with my eyes to understand. I had to do this.

"I think that's more than fine with me," Jasper finally replies. I turn quickly to Em and Rose.

They look at each other, doing that silent married communication that I'm slightly jealous of before Em turns to me, "We are fine as well. But I say you have to tell Peter."

With that we all laugh and the tension and anxiety I feel, melts away.
