CammieSarah51- I love how you always comment without an exclamation mark, it's so cool! And you don't sound so jumpy like me, but you know what? That's who I am, A JUMPY LITTLE RABBIT! I like this girl, I like her very much.

twilightgirls2001- Your review sounded like ME! I read it and I was like WHOOSH! MIND BLOWN! Dude, you. are. my other HALF! Even though I have a twin... whatever! Forget him! Yes I am a girl. A very jumpy girl!

Q: Why does she faint when she has flashbacks? A: You know, I don't know why she faints. I mean, Alice had a flashback and she didn't faint... Eh, I guess she's just more scarred or something it was just perfect timing that she would faint. If you don't like it just ignore it, but don't worry there are no more flashbacks anyway, that's the last one.

Q: Can she not remember her old life? A: As I said before, that is her last flashback forevaw EVAW evaw, so y'all don't need to worry 'bout her old life, mmmhhhmmm. Where did that accent come from? GO AWAY COWGIRL CICI! AWAAY!

DISCLAIMER TIME!

I do not own Twilight, Twilight does not own me.

THE END

Bella's POV

"How long ago has Emmett had blood?" I asked Rosalie.

"About a week ago," Rosalie replied, sadly.

"Really? You can that long without having to drink human blood!" I said in disbelief.

"Actually, Bella, we drink from animals," Edward cut in politely and I nodded a thank you.

"When will he wake up?!" Rosalie continued to cry.

"Wow, it's like you guys don't sleep, relax," I waved her off.

"We don't sleep! Don't you get it? We're dead! There's nothing left to dream about!" She snapped at me.

"I'm sorry I didn't know. Well, since Emmett hasn't had blood-"

"Hunting. We call it hunting," Rosalie interrupted.

"Since Emmett hasn't gone hunting in about a week, he should wake up in about 30 minutes. Though I predict that he may have to go hunting again when he wakes up... or you could just wake him up now. Then again, you guys don't sleep so it would be a privilege to sleep, don't you think?" I said toying with the blonde lady.

Letting Emmett sleep would probably be the best thing Rosalie could do for him at this moment. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I were to live with Rosalie for as many years as Emmett has.

Rosalie looked torn between waking him up or giving him the luxury of sleeping, so instead she continued to sob.

About ten minutes later, Lindsey, followed by a nervous Jasper and gloomy Alice, entered the living room quietly. I assume Lindsey told them about Emmett sleeping and my powers. Edward has told me that for some reason, Alice can't see us mermaids in her visions.

"Alice? May we speak?" I asked quietly. She has been silent for all the time I've met her and I realized I didn't know what her voice sounded like.

Can she possibly be my beloved daughter?

Alice looked up to Jasper for reassurance and he nodded encouragingly. The bracelet I gave my daughter was currently around Alice's wrist.

Alone, we walked out of the house and took off. Alice was leading the way because she knew the land a bit better than I did. She stopped by a fallen tree and sat down on it, but I continued to stand. We stayed frozen for what felt like forever. I studied her features and how much she looked like my fiancée. Dark black hair, big eyes, and sharp nose.

"How old are you?" I blurted out.

"Eighteen... I think," Alice replied. She was older than me by a year. Alice's voice was like bells and I bet she is a great singer. Just like a mermaid.

"Do you remember me from your human life?" I needed to know if she remembered me. I haven't changed my appearance in about ninety-seven years.

"Yes," she choked out. She was about to cry. I couldn't have that and sat next to her to give her a comfortable side hug. She leaned into me without hesitation. As she took short breaths to calm herself down, I couldn't help but start thinking about Edward. What was their relationship? She seems pretty close to Jasper, but maybe it was just sibling love.

I'm being inconsiderate to my own daughter!

I looked down at her. She was staring out in the trees, obviously pondering something.

"What else do you remember?" I asked.

"I remember my father, men in black uniforms, and I also remember an orphanage. Did you send me there?" She said, closely coming to crying again.

"No, I would never give you up. It would have been too hard. You are much too precious. You... You were taken away from me, when you were a baby and I guess they sent you to the orphanage that you remember," I said sadly.

"Is this my name?" Alice asked. She took off the bracelet and held it close to my face.

"No, my name is Mary, your Alice, and your father was Brandon," I answered her. For the first time I noticed she had a wedding ring on, "Who are you married to!" I shrieked. After all of these years, even I wasn't married yet!

"Jasper..." She trailed off, playfully lifting an eyebrow. I mentally sighed. It wasn't Edward. I needed to sort my feelings out for him.

"So are you married?" Alice asked casually.

"Oh... no," I said slowly.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized for her mistake.

Apologize... mistake... EMMETT! He must be awake by now! I stood up.

"Come on. Emmett is probably awake!" I said excitedly.

When we got back to their home, there was a blonde man there.

"Hello," he greeted politely, "You must be Princess Mary Isabella Swan. My coven just told me all about you. I'm Carlisle Cullen, from what I'm hearing you are mermaids?"

"Yes. Sir, there is something you must know about Alice and me. She is my daughter, I had her when I was a human, but I was changed into a mermaid before I could raise her," I said sadly. I looked at Jasper, my daughter's- ECK!- husband, "We need to talk too, mister!" I said threateningly. His eyes widened and he shrank back behind Alice.

"Has Emmett woken up yet?" I asked.

"No! What if he never does?" Rosalie cried.

"He will wake up! Trust me! Oh, see. He's waking up now," Emmett stretched and fluttered his eyes open.

His eyes were pitch black. He looked around the room confused.

"What happened?" He looked down at the hyperventilating Rosalie and immediately hugged her, whispering words of love. I instantly felt uncomfortable and looked over to Edward to see that he looked exactly the same.

"Emmett, I put you to sleep. How are you feeling? Are you thirsty?" I bombarded him with anxious questions.

"I was asleep? That's amazing! How? You can control blood can't you?" He answered his own question.

"Yeah, how'd you know that?" I asked confused.

"I can still hear you and it played out in the dream, but I thought it was real. Except Edward had your voice and he was flying," he responded.

"You should hunt. Your eyes are black," Esme said worriedly. Emmett rubbed his throat carefully.

"I'll take you," Carlisle volunteered, "I want to see the side-effects of Bella's incredible power." Alice, Esme, and Rosalie all decided to come along, too. Jasper took one look at me and widened his eyes upon remembering what I had said about having 'The Talk' with him.

"Um, yeah! I'll come, too!" Jasper said, a little to fast.

"Do you want to come fishing with us Bella?" Misi asked.

"No, thank you," and my sisters left me. As everyone left one by one. I noticed it would only be Edward and me. Alone. Together.

I was hoping something like this would happen. I was also fearing it.

I was hoping for it because I needed to tell Edward my feelings.

I was fearing it because I was going to tell Edward my feelings.

Looks like Bella is a bit nervous. Omg, the mother-in-law talk that Jasper and Bella will have is SO awesome. I've been waiting for that chapter to come, but sadly that is in chapter 12! Never fear, chapter 11 will make up for the lost cause. Speaking of lost causes. I don't know if I should keep the P.S. notes up anymore. I love asking them, and I love hearing your responses to them, but I just don't know what to ask anymore. So I think I should just kill it. Yeah, say good-bye to P.S. notes, for they will be missed.

Don't forget to say 'Post Name' at the end of your review so you can get your name on the Dedication List. Questions, people, questions. Remember. The. Questions.

~Cici - I love you. I do...
