"Merry Christmas everybody!" The kids and I shouted as we climbed down the stairs with Benjamin in my arms. As I got to down the final steps I headed towards Bella and her family first to greet them. Kissing them all on the cheek, "I hope everything is going well at home?" I smile. They nodded, as they caught the double meaning. I turned and saw Sue.

"God, I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time." I hugged her tightly. " Congrats with you and my dad." I whispered in her ear. She looked somewhat shocked, before she smiled. I headed for Seth and squeezed him, before pinching his cheek. "How's my little puppy?" He blushed and rubbed his cheek, as I moved on to greet the rest, meaning Leah and Jacob.

…

We were sitting under the christmas tree, passing out the presents, when the feeling hit me. One of loneliness. Shaking the feeling off I began to hand out the presents, there was no way I was going to let Sam ruin my happy time with MY children and my family.

...

We were in the basement, the kids were asleep, and I was sitting at my desk writing a letter to Sam. Letting the tears escape my eyes, there was no use fighting them. They would just keep coming. Folding it up and placing it inside the envelope, I wrote his name. I grabbed the suitcases and headed up the stairs and outside. Going in and out of the house was a struggle, within itself. I couldn't afford to wake anyone in the house, especially Jake and Sue and maybe even Seth. They would have tried to stop me or worse, they would have called him. And I really didn't want to look at him, because everytime I saw, I just wanted to rip his face off.

…

By the time I was done, the kids were in the car still fast asleep, with Benjamin in my arms. My dad knew what I was about to do, so did Alice and Jasper, they were of course the ones who had got me the car and house to stay at and use. I place the letter where I knew my father will see, to give to Sam. Taking one last glance around the house, I left, locking the door behind me.

At five in the morning Charlie, was up and on his phone calling Ana. "Are you ok? Where are you now?" "I'm fine the kids are fine too. We stopped in Idaho to use the restroom and to get some snacks and water." She replied. Charlie sighed with relief. "I'm glad. I'm assuming you don't want Sam to have this number either?" "You assumed right dad." Ana paused. "Daddy, don't forget to give Sam the letter, and don't let him know where I am. I'll contact him when I'm ready. In fact, Alice will probably give him a hint." She laughed softly. Charlie chuckled as well. "If you say so. Sweetheart, I love you, be safe, and let me know when you get there." "I will dad. Take care of yourself, and Sue. I love you." She hung up. Charlie turned and went into the bathroom to get ready. It was going to be a long day.

…

Sam had found it odd to see Charlie pacing around the front steps of his and Ana's home. When Charlie caught a glance at him, he halted and then stalked towards him in hurry. "Sam." "Charlie. Is everything alright? Where is Ana? Where are the kids? Did something happen?" Sam felt his heartbeat escalate at the thought of something happening to his family. "Sam. I can't tell you anything, other than the kids and Ana are safe and ok. In fact, I came here to give you this. I have to go now. Don't ask me what's inside I don't know. Goodbye Sam." Charlie hand him the envelope and walked towards his car and drove off. Sam staring after him, wondering what he could mean.

Looking down at his hand and at the white envelope with his name written in her handscript. Walking inside his home he headed toward the dining area, sitting in the first chair he saw he ripped it open.

Sam,

By now my dad has given you the envelope and you are probably having an attack. I've decided, it will be safer if the kids and I were away for a while. And don't bother asking my dad or Bella, or anyone where I am, because they don't know, and even if they did, they wouldn't tell you.

I am taking this time to think. Because I love you, I do not want to hate you. I don't know if I could ever forgive you for wanting to kill my niece. And causing me pain. Because I know now that you see her and you see our son you know they are beautiful and they deserve to live. But what really hurts, is that you didn't stop the attack until after Jacob told you he imprinted. Not even for me. Not even because that little girl was related to me.

And that is what hurt me. I can't look at without thinking, if one day you will turn your back on this family for your pack laws. I thought we would be above that. That family came before pack. And I know there is a lot of anger in this letter, but I rather get it out now, then to see you in person and want to physically hurt you.

When I am ready to see you, you will know. For now, I do think it's a perfect time to keep my family safe. To keep our small, beautiful family safe. I want you to know, if the battle does happen, I want you alive, because I do love and I want you here to tell you, that I will forgive you eventually. This is not the end for us. One day we'll build trust again, but stronger. So be safe. I love you, so , so much. And I don't think I could ever stop loving you. It's physically impossible.

So please take, and take care of the ring for me. I don't think I can wear that right now.

Sincerely,

Ana
