Chapter 1

Almost three years after Edward left....

Bella looked at the blood bank in the old Cullen family home, and she knew time was against her. She didn't know what she was going to do the little girl upstairs needed to eat. Rosie was her father's daughter from the color of her curls to the way she was so bright. There was one choice for Bella and her daughter, and she wouldn't do it otherwise if there was some other way around it. Although Rosie was fine as long as she was in her mother's arms; Bella feared what Rose would do if she got to hungry. Never was Rosie interested in biting her mother from the start, but she did have bloodlust from birth. Closing the door Bella headed upstairs to her room packing what she would needed. Her best bet was to find the Tanya's family before Rosie got hungry again. A few days at best to find them and all she had to go on was that they were north of her. She'd hit every town north one by one because it was her only hope for her daughter. Zipping up her bag Bella took it down to the garage, and put it in the car that was left by the Cullen's. Going back upstairs Bella collect a sleeping Rosie into her arms, and took Rosie down to the car buckling her into the car seat she had bought with what little money she had. Closing the door Bella went and got into the driver's seat pulling the keys out of the ash tray. Starting the car it ran perfect although it was hardly use in the last three years, and Bella pushed the garage remote clipped on the visor opening the garage door. Pulling out it was still dark just the way Bella wanted it because she didn't want anyone from Forks to see her. As far as the good people of Forks knew Bella had left town to who knew where. The driving was calming to her nerves even though the stakes were higher than ever. Getting into town Bella stiffened trying not to sped through cause being pulled over was the last thing she needed right now. Once passed down Bella relaxed a little, and sped up more once out of the town limits. Closing in on the first town Bella wondered where to start, and then she saw someone she thought she'd never see again. Rolling down her window a little Bella knew it was Alice one of her daughter's namesake.

"Alice, it's Bella to your left in the car. Get in we need to talk," Bella whispered knowing Alice would hear, and she stop as did Alice who turned to look. Quickly Alice went around getting in after Bella unlocked the one door.

"Bella, you sound desperate," Alice said after shutting the door.

"I am more than you could know. Look in the backseat because you wouldn't believe me unless you saw for yourself," Bella said as she started driving again.

Watching out of the corner of her eye Bella saw Alice look in the rear view mirror at the little girl who slept. Every day Rosie looked more and more like her father, and acted like him in so many ways. It wasn't as shocking to Bella, but she expected the look from Alice. Then the fear that spread across Alice's face telling Bella; her daughter was up to her old tricks.

"She stops her heart at will for a minute or two. I believe it's unintentional. She does it with her breathing too. I believe it has to do with her genetic makeup," Bella said explaining.

"She's Edward's," Alice said relieved as the tiny girl's heart started.

"Yes, she is. I've used almost all of the supplies at the house, and I'm not able to hunt affectively," Bella said remembering the failed hunting trips.

"Doesn't she eat human food," Alice asked confused.

"No, she won't touch it for anything let alone eat it. I need help for her. I've tried to find Edward, but it's like he disappeared. I remembered there were friends of the family up here, and I thought maybe they would help me at least," Bella said hoping she had help now.

"We're going home together. Jasper and I will go home with you today, and I'll get the rest of the family home, Edward too. Even if it means going and dragging his sorry butt home. We'll pick up Jasper, and head back," Alice said smiling for the first time in a long time.

"Where to?" Bella asked excited.

"Left here, and up at the corner. What did you name her?" Alice asked as she gave directions.

"Rosalie Alice Cullen but I call her Rosie. I'll tell you the whole story at home because it is a long one," Bella said following Alice's instructions.

"Stop here. Be right beck," Alice said getting out.

Not long passed before Alice got back in without Jasper behind her.

"Where's Jasper?" Bella asked confused.

"Jasper is going to meet us at home after he hunts for Rosie first," Alice said after shutting the door behind her.

"Okay, let's get home," Bella said as she turned around.

"Did she try to bite you," Alice asked looking back at Rosie.

"No, she doesn't seem to have a taste for me. When we've been in public; as long as I hold her she's fine. She almost bit a boy at the park once, but I scooped her up before she had the chance," Bella said remembering one of the last times she was away from the Cullen family home.

"It's normal for a young vampire to go through a lot at first, and then slowly it is curbed with age. I've heard of half vampire children, but never seen one till now. She looks so much like him. He'd never left if he had known; it was to keep you safe only," Alice said letting her guard down.

Driving going back to the house Bella was quiet on her end as Alice made call after call, but Bella just focused on the drive home. Going the back roads Bella didn't want to chance going through Forks again now that she had time on her side. Her daughter wouldn't go hungry, and she knew they would be well taken care of by Alice and Jasper. Seeing Alice hang up her cell Bella wondered how her calls went.

"Emmet is going to find Edward and bring him home. Everyone else will be home in a couple of days. He'll find Edward I know it," Alice said seeing things clearly.

"He might find him, but it doesn't mean he'll come," Bella said not wanting to give into that hope.

"Don't bet against me," Alice said with a knowing glance.

"When I see him walk back in that door I'll hope again," Bella said gripping the steering wheel.

"He thought he was protecting you when he left," Alice said softly.

"I know. After the shock of it all I pieced it together, and I felt so stupid for believing him. He gave me Rosie, and she was the part of him that I got to keep," Bella said smiling as she spoke the last few words.

"There is no denying she is his daughter. Her skin looks like ours," Alice said looking back at Rosie again.

"Her skin isn't tough as yours, but she is so beautiful and graceful," Bella said still in awe of her own daughter.

"I wish I'd come home, but I promised Edward I'd stay way," Alice said hoping Bella would understand.

"I get it. Just don't leave ever again," Bella said because she had missed her best friend.

"Never ever again," Alice said promising.

"Sorry about taking the long way around; I just don't want to chance anyone seeing me. No one knows where I am since a few months after you guys left," Bella said explaining know Alice had to notice something by now.

"What about your parents," Alice asked surprised by Bella.

"I did what I did to protect my daughter. Every few months I use my laptop Edward got me to bounce a phone signal to call them," Bella said smirking.

"Smart girl," Alice said smiling.

"I couldn't have them finding me. Rosie almost at the park, but I caught her. As long as I'm holding her she's fine," Bella said trying to reassure herself more than anyone.

"What's the look?" Alice said seeing the worry in Bella's eyes.

"What did you tell the others," Bella asked not totally sure she wanted to know.

"I told them that we were needed in Forks, and I told Emmet to get Edward. I thought it wasn't my place to say anything," Alice said honestly.

"Daddy, where are you," Rosie whimpered in her sleep.

"She's fine. It's just a dream. You can't wake her when she's like that," Bella said trying to not get upset.

Reaching the house Bella got out and got Rosie who was still fast asleep. Going inside Bella noticed that Rosie was starting to wake up, and she knew this would be the perfect time to let her connect with Alice. Turning to Alice who was behind her; Bella handed Rosie to Alice who was a little taken back by the gesture. Bella and Alice went into the living room as Rosie sat up in Alice's arms.

"Rosie, this is Aunt Alice," Bella said explaining to her daughter.

"Daddy's sister," Rosie asked questioningly.

"Yes, Sweets," Bella said nodding.

"Can we play?" Rosie asked batting her eyes.

"I'd love to, Bella?" Alice asked looking to Bella.

"Go play while I do some big people stuff. Just stay close to the house you two," Bella said kissing Rosie's forehead.

"I'll be good mommy, and keep an eye on Auntie Alice," Rosie said nodding excitedly showing her age.

"Be sure you do. Don't let her get any booboos," Bella said smiling ear to ear.

"I won't," Rosie said very serious looking like her father at that moment.

"Go on you two," Bella said shoeing the two out the door.

Standing in the doorway Bella smiled watching Alice with Rosie playing in the yard. For the first time in a long time Bella felt like she could breathe now since the day she read the word pregnant. At least she had Alice and Jasper, but she knew the others would stand behind her even if Edward didn't come back. Closing the door Bella took her bag upstairs and started unpacking in her room. It hadn't been her room first, but it had been Edward's first. Most of his things had been left untouched because it had been somewhat taboo to Bella. Like if she moved anything it would change her memory, and she couldn't have that not even now. Breaking was not an option. She had shed one too many tears when she was pregnant, and now she had a daughter who needed her to be strong. Finishing putting everything in its place with her clothes in the dresser, and Bella picked up one of his shirt inhaling his scent that still lingered even now. Blinking back the tears Bella thought she would be strong enough, but as she put the shirt down she knew she was very wrong. Until her family was complete her emotions would be raw when it came to the love of her life. Alice had told her what she already knew in her heart to be true, but it didn't make anything hurt any less. Every little thing that happened in that room was so clear like it had just happen especially the like the memory of the first and only time they had been truly together. Fear was in his eyes as they had shared something that they hadn't shared with another soul ever. In those gentle moments he had giving her so much more than memories that would last forever
