I don't own Twilight or the characters in it. Will only say this once. Only own the plot and the name Liz

(BPOV)

"I promise that this will be the last time you see me. It will be as if I never existed."

I bolted upright. Nine years later, and those words still haunt me. I sighed and got out of bed, one of the places I can think in peace.

I thought about that evening. I was going to tell him I was pregnant with his child. But that never happened. He told me he didn't love me and left me in the woods.

I went into my daughter Elizabeth's room. She was sleeping soundly. I sat in the rocking chair in the corner of her room and watched her sleep, something I haven't done in seven years. The moonlight shown on her silent form. She looked so much like Edward.

She had his bronze hair, green eyes, and tall frame. But she had my face and ears, but thankfully didn't inherit my past ungracefulness. Liz was like the other Cullen's as well. She had Esme's caring, Emmett's playfulness, Carlisle's smarts, Jasper's sense to know what one was feeling, and Rosalie's... I don't know what she really got from her. But she was a lot like Alice in a certain way.

Liz could see the future the same way Alice could. She also had Alice's energy.

I sat there until about seven that morning. I had to wake up Liz and get her read for school. I had her cereal sitting on the kitchen table when she came downstairs.

"I had a dream last night, Momma." She sat down and started eating.

"And what was in your dream, kiddo?" Charlie came in then and sat down to listen.

I smiled at the two of them. I had to tell Charlie about what the Cullen's really were in case the baby was more like him than we would like.

Liz had started telling us about her dream. "It was more like a vision." Charlie and I glanced at each other.

"What's going to happen, honey?" I asked.

"I saw six people buying a white mansion outside town. One wall was made completely out of glass. Then someone else joined them. They looked like you, Momma. They had pale skin and gold eyes." Liz was watching our reactions.

I suddenly felt light-headed. The Cullen's were back. "When do they come back?" I asked my daughter.

"The first six come back today. The other arrives a little after they do. Do you know them?"

"I used to. Charlie, can you take her to school today and tomorrow and pick her up?" I had my own agenda to take care of now.

"Sure Bells. Go get dressed for school, Liz. I'll take care of your dishes." She did as she was told and was up the stairs in a jiffy.

Charlie looked at me pointedly. "Are you going to see them?"

"I'm just going to see if it really is true. I'm not going to contact them or anything." I wasn't lying. I still loved them but he didn't love me or want anything to do with me. So I was just going to see the others from a distance.

"Alright. Be careful, Bella." He gave me a quick hug and went to the door. Liz was coming down the stairs and gave me a kiss on the cheek before she left. Once they were gone, I ran out the kitchen door and headed to the Cullen's home.

I thought we would never come back to Forks. I have missed Bella so much these past eight years and I'm not the only one. Emmett hasn't cracked a joke, Carlisle stays at the hospital most of the time, Esme works in her garden almost nonstop, Rosalie misses Bella, and poor Jazzy has to deal with everyone's emotions so he is in constant pain.

Edward misses her most of all. He rarely comes out of his room, and when he does it is only to go hunting. He never plays the piano nor listens to his music. If he was human, he would be dead. It devastated him to lie to Bella, to cause her so much pain by telling her that he didn't love her.

I entered our old house and smiled wryly. This house holds so many memories, good and bad. I went to my room and quickly unpacked. Jasper was downstairs taking the sheets off the furniture and helping Esme clean up the house. Emmett and Rosalie were bringing the cars into the garage and Carlisle was at the hospital getting his office back in working order.

Edward was going to stop and hunt before he came to Forks. But I was not sure he was going to come home. He kept changing his mind and his future would go down a different path. One minute he was here at the house and the next he was heading back to Canada. I hope Edward was coming home. Everyone misses him. He was always moving around after we left, not seeing him for weeks at a time. "Alice? Can you clean the rooms upstairs?" Esme asked from down in the kitchen.

"Sure, Esme." I started to take the sheets off the furniture in my room when the vision hit me. The doorbell rang and Carlisle went to answer the door. The rest of the family was sitting in the living room. Carlisle gasped and backed up a step. "Bella? Is it really you?"

I began to jump up and down, squealing like a little girl. "Alice, what is it? You just went from sad and thoughtful, to all out happiness."

I ran to Jasper and practically jumped him. "Bella is coming here! She is coming to the house!" I was laughing and dancing around the room. Emmett, Rose, Esme, Carlisle, and Edward were all standing in the doorway, smiling.

"Do you know when it will be?" Edward's face was lit up like a child getting a shiny new toy.

I smiled. "I'm not sure but it will be soon. Don't worry. I'll let you know if she changes her mind."

"Oh, I hope she will get here soon. I get to see my daughter again." The family, save Jasper, all went back down stairs. But I had this feeling that I was missing something, something important.

(EPOV)

I could not believe Bella, my Bella, was coming here, after what I did to her all those years ago. I started pacing in the living room, waiting for the love of my life. I remembered everything about her; her smile, her laugh, her compassion, her seriousness, and most importantly, her love for me, the monster I truly am. My dead heart broke every time I thought about that day in the forest when I told her the family and I were leaving and I did not love her any longer. I could see it in her eyes that she actually believed my lie. Since that day I have been but a shell of myself. I only hunted when necessary, and even then Emmett or Jasper had to drag me out of the house. I no longer played the piano, composed music, or listened to my CDs. Everything I did reminded me of Bella.

Jasper sent calming waves my way. Calm down. Everything will turn out fine. Bella will be here shortly and then everything will be back to normal.

I nodded my head and gave him a grin. "Thanks Jasper. I sure hope you are right." The doorbell rang and everybody stiffened. Carlisle went to answer the door just like in Alice's vision. Carlisle was not convinced that Bella would actually come. He was hoping Alice's vision was true. He missed his daughter terribly. It was my fault he felt the way he did, and how everyone else felt about me forcing us to leave nine years ago. I heard Carlisle open the door and gasped. "Bella? Is it really you?" I did not hear the reply. Carlisle closed the door and I heard their footsteps heading toward the living room, where my family and I waited eagerly.

(CPOV)

Alice told us about her vision and how I would open the door and Bella would be on the other side. I was extremely happy but discouraged. She could not know we had come back to Forks. No one in town knew we were back. But I waited in the living room along with the rest of my family, waiting.

The doorbell rang and I went to answer. I opened the door and thought that I never needed to bet against Alice. Behind the door was Bella. I gasped. "Bella? Is it really you?"

She nodded her head and then I realized that I heard no heartbeat coming from her. I took a second look and realized why. Bella was a vampire, a vegetarian vampire.
