Prologue: When she heard the news she fell to her knees sobbing. He lifted her back up into his arms, "My love, I will fight for you. No one can ever take you away form me."

Chapter 1:

BPOV

After the Volturi had gone our lives went somewhat back to normal even thought we all knew that it wouldn't be long before they reappeared with looking to destroy us all. I kissed Nessie goodnight as I

laid her in her crib for bed. Edward was lying on our bed waiting for me to return to his arms. I relaxed into his arms taking in his sweet scent that I had come to love even more now that I had vampire

senses. He kissed my hair and pulled me on top of him staring into my eyes before kissing me again. I loved these few moments we had to ourselves at night. It gave me a chance to let go of the troubles

from my old human world and now my new vampire world. I heard Edward gasp just before Alice burst into our cottage and knocked on our door. "Could you please be quiet Nessie just went to bed."

"Oops I'm sorry can I come in its very important that I talk to Bella." I sighed and sensed Edward getting very annoyed with his seemingly indefatigable sister. He rolled off of the bed kissing my

forehead before walking out of the door stared icily at his younger sister on the way out. She pounced onto the bed beside me euphoria emanating all over her face. "What are you so excited about?"

"I had a vision earlier that Carlisle is planning on asking Esme to marry him again! He thinks that they should renew their vows just in time for their 90th anniversary." I knew that Esme was going to

be thrilled if Alice could keep her mouth closed. "That is wonderful. Esme is going to be enraptured beyond words when he asks her. Do you know when?" "Of course! He is going to take her to the

a fountain in Paris where he asked her the first time in one week." "Alice, remember you have to keep your mouth shut. I wouldn't tell Carlisle either let him handle it the way he wants." "You're

right. You keept this to yourself no body knows abou this yet not even Edward which is becoming incresingly difficult because I am running out of ways to keep him out of my head." "Oh here," I

pulled my shield over her, "now you don't have to keep him out I will." "I just had to tell someone about it. Rose is in one of her moods she isn't even talking to Jasper right now and he hasn't

spoken a word to her." "She will be fine I will talk to her." She hugged me before bouncing out of the room. The thing is I know exactly why Rosalie is angry right now. While she and Emmett were

searching for people to witness for us against the Volturi they stumbled upon a vampire that had the power of touch. With one touch she could do whatever she wanted to from turning you to ash to

making butterflies fall from your hands. She had already experimented with her gift to give herself a child and it worked perfectly but Emmett had refused to allow her to go through with it. He argued

that there were too many risks and he wouldrather have Rose alive than have a child with the chance of her dying. Rose had been angry and depressed ever since their return refusing to speak to

anyone. She hadn't left her room now for two weeks and we all knew she was slowing beginning to starve herself. Edward came back into the house after a few minutes wrapping his arms around me

stwisting me around so I was facing him. "What was that all about and why are you blocking Alice's thoughts?" "It is a secret trust me you will know in about one week. I will be right back I have to

go and talk to Rose. She is hurting right now and I am the only one she is willing to talk to right now." He stared quizically into my eyes for a moment and I knew what he was trying to do. He was

just waiting for the right moment when he had worked his full effect on me and my shield was sure to snap. I looked away before it became impossible. "That's not fair!" "I know, love I'm sorry."

"You're forgiven." I said kissing him and smiling. "You have no idea the effect that your smile has on me. It's like I melt." I laughed and ran out the door heading back to the house. Everything was

quiet so I knew no one was home. They all tried to give her as much space as they could so they could avoid confrontation. I went up the familiar stairs stopping at her door to knock before entering.
