I couldn't believe that I'm saying this but...I've never been this happy in my life. I was happy with my family but there was always something missing for me. Now that Bella was here, I felt... complete.

Bella became part of the family. It didn't matter if she wasn't like us because they saw the effect she had on me and the happiness she brought me. The family was generally supportive, Esme and Carlisle especially. They've always been sad that I've considered myself the odd man out and after being alone for a long time, they could not contain the happiness they felt for me.

Alice was ecstatic knowing that her vision finally came true about us. They were already best buddies except when Alice would start playing dress up and Bella would be throw a fit. Jasper was tolerant and as long as she sees Alice happy, Jasper accepted Bella without question and I didn't have to worry about Jasper's control. Knowing that Alice would be very upset if he hurts Bella, he was more cautious this time.

Emmett was glad to have another person to make fun of. Rosalie on the other hand, was a different story. Carlisle initially turned her in the hopes that we would regard each other the way he regards Esme, but I had never thought of her more than a sister and it angered her that I did not want her, never mind that she didn't want me in a romantic way. She was used to people worshiping her and was furious to know that I finally found someone that I was drawn to. She didn't admit it to anyone, but I could hear it clearly in her thoughts. After confronting her about her hostile reaction to Bella, she toned it down and became civil. That was the least she could do.

Bella became curious about how we came to be what we are now, and we told her about our stories and about the vampire world. Even Rosalie eventually shared how she was made into this life. She knew about the rulers of our kind and the law that was strictly being followed and the consequences of breaking them. Bella made sure that our secret will be safe with her. It wasn't just the vampire world that she was curious about, she was also curious about the places around her.

"So, let me make sure I got this one... We're at the Olympic Peninsula because there's more rain here and dark, cloudy skies where you can freely roam around in daytime compared to... let's say.... Oh Arizona... or California... or Nevada?"

"Yep, why, Bella, you know places!" Emmett exclaimed.

"Why shouldn't I? I just lost memories about myself not the world" Bella was raising her eyebrow and Emmett just shrugged and went back to watching television but not after mentally conjuring an image of letters being spelled as "Alien" and making a mental "x" on his mind to cross it out.

She doesn't seem to mind now when talking about her memories, but I couldn't shake that feeling that there was something more to her that we haven't figured out yet. Carlisle has been regularly monitoring Bella's brain to make sure there was no major damage after the accident and to see if there's something else we can find out about her. There was still that mystery about how she survived that fall but we were caught in a dead end. We didn't even have time to go back to the scene where we found her.

Every time I think about her memories, there was that uneasy feeling that I couldn't seem to grasp. Was it because I was afraid that if she gets her memory back, she might change her views about us or she might want to leave... to go back to where ever she came from? I didn't know... Part of me wants her memory back but a selfish part of me wishes that her memories won't return so she can just stay here... with me.

Bella hasn't been able to visit the town even once and wanted me to accompany her to do some groceries.

"I'll pay you back when I can. I didn't want to bother Esme with the groceries and I wanted to see if there's some other food that I'd like to try out" She said when we were driving towards the grocery.
