How would things be if Carlisle turned Bella first 100 years after he was turned? what if Esme was Emmett and Edward's real mother and they were all human and Jasper found Alice whlie Alice was a newborn and they found Bella and Carlisle then Rosalie joins???

follow from Carlisle's POV first then goes to Bella's, possibly other to come, as we see how things would be like if there were different beginnings for all of our favourite charactors.

Summary:  In a heartbeat, Edward's life changed. What was supposed to be the joyful, life-changing experience, the birth of their daughter, turned into a nightmare. The love of his life, lifeless on the delivery table, as he held his daughter in his arms. The gift of organ donation was always his wife's desire. Bella was in the critical care unit at John Hopkins, praying for a heart transplant. What happens when years later Edward moves back home to Baltimore and enrolls his daughter in a dance class? Will the beauty in pink tights capture his heart? But what happens when he learns her secret?

Edward leaves Forks and Bella behind after the incident with Tyler's van. Now, five years later, he finally returns to his family and the Pacific Northwest. While picking up his latest Swedish automobile, he is confronted by a very familiar scent. Will Edward be able to fight the pull his singer has on him a second time? Or will he stick around long enough to find out What Drives Her?

Will true love prove strong enough to overcome the secrets and challenges that lay ahead? Or will they succumb to the pressure and expectations of the people that think they know best?

New teacher and aspiring writer, Bella Swan, moves to Seattle. She finds fan-fiction-creation-inspiration in the enigmatic and surly playboy who lives in the upscale condo across from hers. As her newest on-line story develops, so does a correspondence with a mysterious reader/reviewer of that story. Is it a co-worker?
