Hey you guy's. As I said I was going to re-write and change this a bit. So I have. The changes for this are minor. Like ages and some of the things said. Also I've added a twist :D that will be revieled later on :D

I hope this is so much better than the first. :D

Disclaimer- I own nothing :D


"Hello Officer Jacob." Was the first thing I heard this morning, as I woke from my sleep. I stifled a giggle at Nessie's antics and got out of bed making my way to the kitchen. My baby sister, Reneesme Carlie Swan was attempting to get the attention of 24 year old Jacob Black, again. Jacob was our next door neighbour, life long friend and police detective. Poor Jacob, Nessie has a thing for a man in uniform. Her flirting is usually friendly but sometimes she really does piss him off. Even when we lived with Billy and Jake when Nessie was just 11, she'd flirt with him. She's too much like our Mother.

Thinking about Mum brought tears to my eyes. Even after all this time.

"Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me." I heard her fume as she came back into the kitchen. She plopped her self down at the island still mumbling about Jacob. I giggled, poor Nessie.

"Morning Ness, You ok?" I asked still giggling but trying to stifle it. She handed me the coffee she had poured me with a glare. I laughed and turned back to the pancake mix I was making.

"I'm fine no thanks to Jacob." She sure sounded pissed.

"No progress with him today then? Don't let it get you to down its only" I looked towards the clock and groaned "8 o'clock. You can try again later." I said. She huffed.

"He took one fucking look at me and took off like a bat out of hell. I don't get it usually men fall at my feet." She sounded so confused and desperate.

"Babe, your 18. You've just started your freshman year of college. Jacob is a 24 year old police detective. He's known us since we were in diapers. We lived with him and Billy for five years. He's not exactly going to jump into bed with you is he?" I laughed. She pouted.

Nessie wasn't used to rejection. Being as gorgeous as she was with her light brown hair, brown eyes and skinny figure men always want her but being turned down by the one guy she wants isn't making her feel very good.

"I guess your right. I'll try again later. And on a more depressing note, are we going to Mum and Dads graves tomorrow." She asked going very quiet at the end.

Tomorrow was our Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary also the anniversary of their death. Tomorrow it will be seven years since they died in the car accident when their taxi driver had a heart attack at the wheel and plunged into an icy lake on the way home from Port Angeles. I was 13 and Nessie was 11 at the time when it happened. That's how we came to live with Billy and Jake until I was 18.

"Of course. When you get back from college we'll go." Nessie attended Port Angeles College. She could have gone anywhere to study her major. Art. She is very good. But she didn't want to leave Forks. In other words she didn't want to leave me by myself.

Nessie nodded. "What you got planned today Bell?" She asked changing the subject.

"Clean the house, food shopping and might work on my new book." I answered.

At 20 I was the only person my age not to go to college. I didn't need to. I already had four worldwide best selling books under my belt and had enough money to last Nessie and me for our entire lives so I didn't need to work.

My first book, The Two Swans, which I wrote in memory of our parents was published when I was 16. Nessie and I could live anywhere in the world but we want to stay in Forks in our parents old three bedroom home. We couldn't imagine being somewhere else.

"Well have fun." She said sarcastically causing me to role my eyes" I gotta go so I can get to college in time. My canvas won't paint itself. Thanks for the pancakes. Love you sis." She said.

With a kiss on the cheek she was off. I love my sister. She's the only thing I have left in the world. All the rest is memories. I didn't have any friends in high school I only had Angela and Ben. And I've never had a boyfriend. Let alone kissed a guy. My baby sister has had more experience than me.

I sighed and decided to have a shower before I started cleaning. I stomped upstairs to the bathroom and hopped in the shower. Having a quick wash and laving up my hair with my strawberry shampoo.

When I got out of the shower I stood in front of the mirror drying my hair and taking in my reflection. Nothing special. Plain Jane. That's me. Dull brown hair and brown eyes and curves. Nothing special. I sighed and finished drying my hair and changed into my favourite black skinny jeans and my white Van Morrison top.

I spent the best part of the morning blitzing the house clean. Spending most of the time in Nessie room. Naturally. It was about 1 o'clock when I left for the store I got into my car, my trusty Aston Martin DBS, and headed to the thrift way. I got my cart and entered the store. I was halfway from the shopping when I heard my name being called by a voice I hadn't heard in years.

"Bella? Is that you?" I turned and gaped. Sure enough it was her.

"Mary-Alice Brandon-Cullen. What the hell are you doing here?" She squealed and flung her self at me I laughed damn pixie. I hadn't seen Alice since I was 10. Just before she moved to L.A with her family.

Alice was short. Really short. With black cropped hair that she styles to stick out at the sides and her emerald green eyes. Alice was my best friend when I was a little girl. Her Dad, well adoptive dad, Carlisle Cullen, used to go fishing with my Dad and Billy before they moved away.

Carlisle was offered a big contract with a big shot L.A hospital and they felt it was an opportunity they couldn't pass up. So I was left saying goodbye to my best friend.

"Were back, all of us. Me, Emmett, Edward, Mum and Dad." She took a breath "Emmett's here with his wife and two kids. Edwards here being a studying at Port Angeles College, his doctoral degree and I'm here working at a local boutique until I get my degree, my fiancé is here to. Bella I've missed you so much." She was grinning like a mad woman. I was so happy to see her.

"Oh my god. Wow. I can't believe it your all hear. What made you come back?" I asked.

"Dad came back to the hospital. And when we all heard that Mum and Dad were coming back, we realised how much we missed it here. So we all packed up and just came. Anyway enough about me. How are you? You're Mum, Dad, Little Nessie's? I read your books by the way we were all so proud. Edward was proud to." She said with a wink while I blushed.

"Umm Alice, my Mum and Dad died when I was 13." I told her. I watched as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh no, Oh Bella. I'm so sorry, I didn't know." She hugged me.

"It's fine honestly. Anyway. Nessies is at college studying Art. And I'm currently writing my fifth book." I told her. " You're working on getting a degree? Wow that's great. What are you studying?" I asked.

"Art and design. I've also got my own internet design store. Anyway can you and Nessie come for dinner tonight everyone's going to be there. Please come. Please." She begged.

"Course we'll be there. I've missed my best friend" We squealed.

"Yay. Oh my god. Edward and Emmett are going to be thrilled to see you. You're like a little sister to them. Emmett more than Edward but anyway...we knew how Edward felt" The guilt welt up at her words.

We caught up a bit more. I found out that Edward was now 24 and still single. Edward was the only biological child of Carlisle and Esme.

Emmett was 26; his wife, Rose, and himself have just brought the local mechanics and have two twin boys, Logan Thomas Cullen and Hayden Matthew Cullen who were both 2. Apparently Emmett didn't take back the Brandon surname when he was old enough. He and Alice shared the same parents.

Esme was now retired, which shocked me more than anything. Alice fiancé Jasper was Emmett's friend from college and was now the History teacher at the school. He was 26.

With promises to be at Esme and Carlisle new home at 6 O'clock we said our goodbyes.

I didn't get time to work on my book when I got home like I intended to because when I got there it was to find a very irritate Jake and Nessie in our front yard.

"What is your problem Jacob?" Nessie was saying when I got within ear shot.

"You're my fucking problem. I don't want to be mean Reneesme but stay away." And with that he stormed away back into his house and slammed the door so hard I though the hinges were going to fall of.

"Grrrr" Nessie stomped into the house cursing all the way.

"I'm not going to even ask" I told her when we got to the kitchen. "Help me with the shopping Ness." She sighed and came over to help me.

"How was your day?" Nessie finally asked after a bit of silence.

"It was OK. The Cullen's are back." Nessie squealed just like me. "Were going to theirs for tea so you need to be ready before six" I told her. She immediately ran upstairs to pick and outfit.

At 5:45 we were driving up the narrow lane to Esme and Carlisle new house. I was feeling very nervous. I hadn't seen these people in years. They were like my second family. As I pulled up infornt of it and Nessie and I both gaped like fish. This place was huge. Three floors and thousands of acres.

"Bloody Hell" Nessie whistled.

"Uhhh" Was my intelligent response. We got out of the car, still in awe of our surroundings and were met by a booming laugh.

"Emmett" Nessie and I laughed.

"Well Alice said it was a surprise but I never thought it would be the Swan girls" He picked us both up and spun us around. Emmett was like some giant teddy bear big and blurry but with dimples.

"Isabella, Reneesme my little girls" I heard Esme say. I turned to her, she was standing next to Carlisle and Nessie and I both gave her hugs.

"Girls it's great to see you again. And I'm sorry about your parents" Carlisle told us whilst pulling us into hugs.

"Thanks Mr C. "We said and he laughed at the name we used to call him when we were little.

"Bella" I heard Alice squeal. I looked behind Carlisle and Esme to see to Alice coming down the steps followed by two blondes." Oh My God. Nessie. You're so grown up now". She jumped on Nessie.

"Ali" Nessie squealed I laughed.

"Bella, Nessie I want you to meet my fiancé Jasper Whitlock and Emmett's wife Rosalie." She introduced us to the two blonde who could have passed for twins both had blonde hair and blue eyes. Rosalie looked like a model.

"Nice to meet you girls" Rosalie said hugging us.

"Nice to meet you to." Ness and I both said in union.

"Pleasure to meet you both" Jasper said with a southern accent.

"Hey nice to meet you." I said to Jasper while Nessie waved.

"Hey where's Edward." I asked noticing he wasn't there. I didn't miss the look Esme, Rose and Alice shared.

"He's in the kitchen why don't you go see him Bella? He'd love to see you" Alice said "Were going to give Nessie the tour, Edward will give you yours later." She said.

I gave her a suspicious look but complied and headed to the kitchen. What I saw made me gasp. Of course Edward was unbelievably attractive last time I saw him but know it's just more pronounced. His hair was still the bronze disarray and he was still lean but muscular. And from what I could tell his face was still chiselled and prefect.

"Edward?" I asked. He spun around from were he was standing. And looked at me.

"Bella?" He breathed. I noticed his eyes were still the beautiful emerald green.

"Hey." He gaped and looked me up and down.

"Wow. This can't be real. You can't be real" He said. I laughed while he still continued to look me over I blushed.

"I assure you I am. Reneesme and I are here for dinner. I bumped into Alice at the thrift way earlier and she invited us." I told him

"Wow Bella I'm sorry it's just you look so different. You're... Damn there's no other word, beautiful. You always were" He told me. I blushed even harder.

"Thanks Edward. You don't look to bad yourself." I shyly told him. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a large laugh.

"EDDIEEEE"

"Well I see she's still the same" He said as Nessie jumped on him. "Hey Loch Ness". She slapped him on the back of the head.

"Fuck off Eddie." We all laughed.

Dinner was a fun event. We all caught up on everything we had missed. Half way through dinner Rosalie kicked me under the table and said...

"Edward can't keep his eyes of you for 10 seconds Bella." I turned to look at him and sure enough he was watching me intently with a crooked grin in place. Just like he used to before…I shook my head not wanting to think about it. When he realised I had caught him staring he blushed, coughed and looked down. Rose and I giggled.

"I heard you had two little boys Rose. Are they not here?" I asked her. She smiled fondly when the mention of her boys was brought up. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Edwards face drop. He looked so sad.

"Oh no not tonight. They're with my parents in Seattle for the weekend. Giving me and Em some peace ya know." She said.

"Oh definitely I could use that for Ness sometimes." Everyone laughed.

"Hey that's not fair Bell you know you love me." Ness said from across the table. Everyone laughed again.

After dinner Ness and I offered to clean up but Esme said not to worry Carlisle and Emmett were going to do it and Edward was going to give me a tour in a little bit.

I was seated in the living room listening to Alice and Nessie talk about designing when Edward tapped my shoulder.

"Would you like your tour now?" He asked in his velvety voice that just oozed sex.

"Yea that would be great." I said. Blushing naturally when he smiled his damn crooked smile. He led me down the hallway pointing out different rooms. When we got to the end of the tour he asked if I wanted to sit on the balcony as it wasn't raining.

"Sure, that'd be nice" I told him. We were seated on chairs watching the stars in silence when he broke it. And I knew what was coming before it did.

"We need to talk" He told me. I grimaced.

"No we don't. It's forgotten" I didn't want to talk about this.

"No it isn't" He said with a scowl.

"Edward." I begged. "Please."

"No Bella. Their still there. They won't go away"

"What do you want from life?" He sighed knowing he wasn't going to win. I heard him growl the word fine.

"I always had dreams. Before I was thirty I want to be a professor, married and have children. I want to be in love. I want someone to worship and someone who love's me back. But I don't have any of those." He sighed again. "I sound like such a girl". He laughed.

"No you don't" I told him. "You sound like you know what you want. And that's something to be proud of. I wanted to be an author and I am. You want to be married and have a family. Which you will."

He just sat there staring at me with a small smile on his face. I blushed under his stare. The wind whipped around us, causing my hair to fan across my face. I gasped when Edwards hand brushed the hair from my face, the electric current from where he touched me flowing through my body.

I know he felt it to because he gasped and removed his hand staring at it. After a while we composed ourselves and started catching up on the trivial things; favourite books, foods, music that sort of thing.

And when it was time to say goodbye I couldn't deny that I was very attracted to Edward Cullen, again. Nessie and I said our goodbyes to everyone with promises to meet up soon. Me, Alice and Rose switching numbers. Once home Nessie retreated to bed while I plopped myself infornt of the telly.

A little while later around 11:30 my phone beeped. Expecting Alice I was kind of shocked when I saw that it wasn't Alice, But Edward.
