Leaning his head on the window, seventeen-year-old Emmett Charles Michaels was eyeing the trees that they were passing with his brown eyes, which was similar to his mother's brown eyes. But he got his auburn hair from his late father. He was very close to his father but he got shot in front of the seventeen-year-old eyes, making his mother and siblings feel very worried about their comedian in their family.

In the back seat, his identical twin brother (Lucas "Luke" Noah Michaels II) couldn't help but keep his eyes on Emmett. Everyone in the truck knew that he was there when it had happened. Since that night, Emmett hadn't been the same. It was upsetting him and their family. But their fifteen-year-old sister (Renesmee "Nessie" Carlie Michaels) was the most upset with the sadness that Emmett was showing. In the truck, everyone was quiet for different reasons.

Their mother (Isabella "Bella" Michaels (nee Swan)) glanced over at the teen in the passager seat and knew why he was very upset. He was going to the store with his father but someone had pointed a gun towards the two and were going to end both of their lives but someone had shown up, saving Emmett but not her husband.

"Emmett, Luke, and Nessie, your Papa Charlie is very excited to see ya," Bella told her three wonderful children with a soft smile on her lips.

Nessie was the first to react, "How is Papa Charlie doing, mama?"

Bella frowned, not knowing how to answer her baby girl. Bella's father, Charlie Swan, hadn't been feeling well the past few months. She had promised him that she would visit him and probably stay with him for a while. When her sons were born, her father and a few of his friends had added more rooms in the tiny home. Now, there are three rooms in the home. When she visits her father, Bella and Nessie would share one room while her late husband and their boys would share the other room.

Instead of lying to her children, Bella decided to tell the truth, "He is not doing well, Ness. I'm hoping that he will get better very soon. But I don't think he will get better any time soon, sweethearts."

"Of course, he isn't, ma. He's dying," Emmett said plainly without glancing at his family, having Bella sighed softly, "Em. I know you are very upset with what had happened to your father but I don't think he would want you to act like this."

His brown eyes glanced over at his mother, feeling guilty for acting out, "I'm terribly sorry, ma. I never might to hurt you and my siblings. I was there. I saw it happen, mama! I could have saved him!"

"I know, baby boy. But maybe this was his fate."

Emmett kept his eyes on his mother. Fate. That's what his parents are always talking about. They are always telling him and his siblings to never deny fate. That made him think about his father's fate. No one's fate is to die, he thought to himself.

"Mama, I doubt that was his fate. He should be here with us, visiting Papa Charlie," he said softly, glancing back out of the window.

"I know that, Emmett. Your father was a great man. He would have done anything for this family. I'm certain that he is looking over us right now in the Heavens," Bella said, giving him a sad smile.

Bella wasn't really into the religious things but her late husband was, having her give it a try but she felt like that it was really her and he understood that

"You don't believe in Heaven, mama," Luke said in the back, confused why his mother would say that.

"I know that, Lucas but your father did and if he did, then I do and I believe that's where he is now, watching over us."

"Mama, I don't want to switch schools," Nessie complains loudly in the back, having Bella shake her head at her foolish daughter that she loves to the moon and back,

"Ness. We had spoken about this before we left Texas. You are starting next week, darling. Don't worry, your brothers are a grade higher than ya and if you need them, don't be afraid to ask for their help. Y'all going to help your sister, right boys?"

"Yes, mama," the twins said in unison, "No one will mess with Nessie Michaels without messing with us."

Bella smiled sadly at her children. Now, that she's a widow, Bella felt like people will treat her different but that's not what she wants in life. Her father hasn't found out about the shooting of her husband and she knew that he will try to be there for her but this time, she was going to take care of him again.

Welcome to Forks, a sign had said with Bella's truck driving passed it. I'm home, daddy, Bella thought sadly.
