Hello all I have been a member of fanfiction for a really long time I have spent the majority of that time reading and decided what the hay let's post something so here it is my first ever published fan fiction. Please enjoy and constructive criticism is welcome. Thank you.

Bella POV

"Happy birthday Bella" Edward whispers in my ear. "It's just another day." I whisper back as I turn to look at him.

I can tell that my response upset him but that is how i feel. I haven't celebrated my birthday since my eighth birthday. It was one of the few happiest times of my childhood.

I hear someone calling my name and realize I spaced out. Great Bells now he is gonna think something is wrong.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying Edward?"

He looks at me a bit worriedly and i try hard not to roll my eyes.

"I was just saying that i don't get why you don't find your birthday special." he repeated himself and touched my forehead. "Are you alright Bella you have been spacing out a lot lately."

Geez forgive me for succumbing to deep thought. "I'm fine Edward and I never said my birthday wasn't special." Damn he just gave me that look. "I just feel that it is just another day on the calendar and prefer not to celebrate."

"Why though?" Alice intrudes.

"I just don't feel like celebrating it anymore." I answer and start walking towards the couch to sit down.

"But why?" Alice presses.

What is she 3? "My reasons are my own." I state while taking a seat on the couch. So help me if anyone says 'why' again I'm going home.

Just as Alice is about to respond she stops moving as does Edward. Jasper notices and comes toward us placing his hand on Alice's shoulder and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Edward comes out of the haze first and looks almost angry. He grabs my arm and starts dragging me to the back door.

"It's too late Edward." Alice whines from where she is seated on the couch. She is staring at her hands on her lap. If she could cry I have a feeling she would be sobbing.

"What did you see darlin?" Jasper asks Alice as he takes her hands in his and holds them to his chin.

"The Volturi have come to Forks." Edward growls out.

Everyone who wasn't already in the room appears all at once looking panicked.

"Did you see a reason for their visit? How many did you see Alice?" Carlisle interrogated. He actually looks a bit scared as Alice answers him. "No Carlisle, I didn't see a reason just four them entering Forks."

"Who?" Esme whispers seeming close to tears herself.

Alice sighs looking resigned to her fate and looks up at all of us one at a time before looking down again and answering the question of who. "Felix, Demetri, Jane and…". She takes in an unnecessary breath and whispers the last name so low I don't hear it but everyone else gasps in ranges of shock fear and i'm guessing amazement.

Those names sound familiar where have i heard them before? Just as i am about to ask my question Edward is pushing me into a corner and turning his back to me trapping me in.

"I'm sorry Bella." Edward squeezes my hand and then there is a knock at the front door.

What is all the melodrama and fear about. Why did I even come here today. I let out a bored sigh hear someone, I am guessing Carlisle, answer the door. Some muffled voices from being a few rooms away from where I am trapped. Edward stiffens in front of me as the muffled voices get closer and somewhat clearer.

I am not listening to what the voice is saying so much as i am recognizing the sound. I know that voice! I know that voice! I can't believe it. It can't be who i think it is!

I hear an intake of air and a gasp.

I attempt to get around Edward but he stops me.

"I would know that scent anywhere." the voice whispers.

Edward lets out a low growl and i take my chance to get around him to see for myself the owner of that much missed voice.

"Isabella." the voice chokes out a disbelieving whisper.

The room and everyone but me freezes when my name comes from his lips. As for me I have a big stupid grin on my face and tears pouring from my eyes as I run into the man I have not seen in exactly a decade.

I grab hold of the white shirt he chose to wear and sob into him as his arms wrap around me. He pats my hair and kisses my temple rocking me back and forth while whispering how much he has missed me.

"What is the meaning of this! Boomed Edwards voice from behind me.

I look into the red eyes of the man I thought of as an uncle when i was a little girl and then look at the array of astonished, worried and in Edwards case angry faces of everyone in the room and clear my throat. Here goes nothin.

"Everyone I would like to introduce you all to my very beloved uncle. Uncle Aro these are the Cullens."

Astonished silence. I think I broke them all.
