Dad came up and hugged me tight, at that moment I knew that he had figured it out. I smiled and hugged him back. "Thank god you're okay," he said and I smiled.

"So you figured it out?" I asked hopefully looking up as he let go. His smile didn't waver as he nodded.

"Bella, you have to understand though, I thought you were dead, I didn't know you were changed, if I had known that...maybe if I had stayed a couple more years instead of leaving after your wedding, then I could've saved you, or at the very least been with you when you were changing and helping you, please forgive me," he explained and I nodded.

"There's nothing to forgive, like you said, you thought I was dead, I think I'm supposed to be dead, but on a different note, you left after my wedding?" I asked looking confused.

"That's how it's supposed to be, even if I were human. Though I'm not so sure how I feel towards your grandfather for just marrying you off like that, but at least he seemed like a decent guy, a little," he trailed off and I resisted a snort, ya a real great guy, right.

"Could someone explain, now that she's safe, what's going on?" Rosalie asked from the couch she was sitting on with Emmett, and Edward.

"You told them?" I squeaked and he just laughed, real nice Dad, real nice.

"Not yet," he told me sitting down and pulling me on his lap.

"Hey! I'm not 10 years old anymore," I protested but again he just laughed.

"I'm confused," Emmett finally said and I thanked him.

"Uh...you tell them," I said turning to Dad completely forgetting I was still sitting on him.

Before anyone could explain anything I heard Jasper let out a hiss of pain from the loveseat. "Jasper?" Alice asked concerned and I saw him clutch his arm, the same arm that was hurting me, and he could feel emotions...

I quickly put up my physical shield; I didn't usually have it up because it took a lot of focus and concentration and energy, and looked back at Jasper and saw that he was looking around confused. "What happened?" Alice asked and he looked at me confused.

"I was trying to see what Bella was feeling, you know pain wise," he explained looking down at his arm and back up at me.

"That's what I thought, I can keep the shield up for a little bit longer so you can refocus on something else aside from my pain," I told him and he nodded but Edward and Dad shot me a look of horror.

"That's how much pain you're in?" Edward almost yelled sounding very panicked.

"Sort of I guess, but I already told you I've been through worse," I clarified.

"You've been through worse?" Dad almost yelled sounding a lot like Edward. I was reluctant to answer and squashed my feeling of hurt as I thought 'Like Father like Son'.

After a moment of silence I jumped up "So explanations?"

"Right, you wanted me to explain?" Dad asked and I nodded hoping he would. "I can only explain so much, then I have questions too," he warned and I nodded again. "Okay. Well, let's start from the beginning, when I was human, I had an arranged marriage with this lady named Marie. She was nice enough and it was alright. She had always wanted children, and I had thought of the idea too, and that's where Isabella came in," he started and I smiled remembering the stories he would tell me of Marie.
