Okay, readers,I am a bit behind on my schedule for this one because I could not think of a name. I'm still not sure of it, but oh well. Anyways this is one is a bit different than the last story. It has some extra depth that the last story may have lacked. I had a lot of fun writing it so I hope you enjoy it. Don't worry there is still the magic that is B&E, just them facing different obstacles.

I hope my story line is not too cliche' for some of you! (You will understand what I mean after this chapter)

The next couple of chapters are written, however, I will only be posting about once a week until I get farther ahead. I want to stay on top of this story.

So without further rambling, I give you chapter one.

Please Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Bella Swan lay in bed, finally asleep. She was wrapped up in her sheets and blankets after a night of tossing and turning. She spent most of the night up nervous for the big day to arrive. It was a day that would test if she was only a one hit wonder or if she actually had talent. What she dreaded most was that the attention that would be on her. She hated that.

Today, November 19th, was the day that her second novel was set to be released. Her first one, Love and Other Lies, had sold seventy-five thousand copies in the past two years. The success of the book had been better than what everyone had predicted- well almost everyone.

Bella's publishing agent, Mr. Davis, had arranged a small release party for her new book. She was scheduled to read the first chapter of the book followed by a quick signing at a small book store in Phoenix. It was a way to gain positive publicity and to thank her readers for their support.

After the numbers came in, her publisher wanted to know if she would write another one. She had of course, continued to write after the first one was finished, but never expected them to want a second book so soon. With a lot of encouragement from friends, family, and her readers, Bella agreed to give them two more novels.

"Okay," a voice spoke softly. "Today, the nineteenth day of November is an important one. In fact I have dedicated my day to getting it all on tape."

Edward narrated the video he was recording as he walked into his bedroom at eight in the morning. The camera focused on his sleeping girlfriend as he approached her side of the bed slowly. Her steady breathing can be noticed from the slight rise and fall of the blankets that covered her.

"Here we see our favorite author and journalist getting her sleep." At this point Edward had the camera less than a foot away from her face. "Maybe if we are lucky we will be able to hear her say something brilliant in her sleep. She does that quite frequently."

Bella rolled over so her face was no longer in front of the camera. "Honey, I love you, but if you don't get that camera away from me I will throw you across the room. "

"Oh that's my girl. It was love at first threat," he told the camera. Edward walked over to the other side of the bed. "Isabella now that you are awake, is there anything you want to tell your adoring fans?"

"My boyfriend is insane," she said before burying her face in her pillow.

Edward turned off the camera and stuck it down on the nightstand before climbing into bed next to her. He nudged her shoulder with his nose as a way of surrender. She peeked up from the pillow. He smiled at the way her hair lay like a bird's nest around her face.

"Is the camera gone?" He showed her his hands. She then sat up on her elbows. "Good morning," she told him before kissing him.

"It is a good morning," he told her as he pulled her into a sitting position against his side. She smiled up at him. "How are you feeling," he asked while playing with her untidy hair.

"Completely nervous," she said honestly.

Bella may have been worried about today, but what she was most nervous about was her new assignment. Today was also the beginning of a new adventure in her journalism career. She had recently started a job with a new magazine, The Informant. It was one that focused on the real biting news of today. With her background at a women's magazine, Bella was hired to write articles geared towards the female readers- articles about issues other than finding Mr. Right or the perfect pair of shoes. Last week Bella wrote about the stereotypes of women in the workplace. The week before she had written about women in the military. It had been relevant with the recent controversy of women serving in combat units. She had even spent a week emailing a psychologist at the University about the different psychological components between men and women. This week, however, Bella was given a long term assignment.

Bella Swan would be getting her first hand experience as an undercover reporter. She would be traveling away from the state of Arizona to the all too familiar state of Washington. There has been a recent spike in the number of teenage pregnancies at a local high school. Her boss had asked if she would be up for getting the details. He wanted to know if it was a copycat of the pregnancy pact that had occurred a couple of years prior at another high school. Or if there was an internal problem in the school's curriculum. Bella was surprised to hear that the school in question was Forks High School. The town of Forks was where her father, Charlie lived. It was also where she spent a week of her summer vacation each year until she was eighteen, when she moved up there for college. It was this background, that qualified Bella for the job. She would be going undercover in the high school as a substitute English teacher.

"Earth to Bella," Edward's voice called to her.

"Sorry?"

"You were thinking deeply about something weren't you?" His hands were clearing the hair off the back of her neck.

Bella shrugged her shoulders. "I guess. I was just thinking about everything coming up. I've never been away from home for that long."

"You will do great," he encouraged.

"I hope I can pull this off."

"If anyone can, I know you will be able to. Now I know the real reason you're bummed."

"Really," she said raising her eyebrows. "And what's that?"

"You are going to miss me of course," he teased.

This was true. Edward and Bella had sat down to discuss the possibility of her leaving for a month. Originally she wanted him to come with her; however he still had the rest of the fall semester to teach. Edward would be coming up to Forks when classes let out though. The two of them agreed to spend Christmas with Charlie, Bella's father, since she was going to be staying with him for a month while she was on assignment.

Edward may have been right about her missing him, but Bella was not going to let him know that. "You wish, Masen. I will be chanting 'free at last' as I walk onto that plane tonight." Bella tried scooting away from him, but he held her fast around the middle.

"Is that so," he gave her a gentle squeeze before capturing her lips causing her heart to beat faster. Her lips molded perfectly with his. "You're not going to miss that," he asked with a smirk as she tried catching her breath once the kiss was broken.

"Not really," she managed.

"How about this-"he leaned in to torture her some more, but a feeling of nausea hit Bella suddenly causing her to jerk forward and away from him. Her hand went to cover her mouth while the other held her stomach. "What's wrong?"

Bella did not respond. However, she pushed herself away from him and out of bed. She shot across the room and down the hall, just making it to the bathroom as she emptied last night's dinner into the toilet. When she thought it had passed, she was wrong. This time, though, Edward was holding her hair as she leaned back over the porcelain bowl.

Edward did not say anything until she was finished. He grabbed a tissue as he helped her clean up.

"Thanks," she spoke, her voice raspy. Edward filled a cup with water and handed it to her.

"Are you okay," he asked when she finished drinking.

"Yeah," she said. "I think these nerves are getting to me."

Edward put his arm around her. "If it's going to affect your health then-"

Bella held a hand up and he stopped talking. "Yeah I am a bit nervous and have a serious case of butterflies, but I will be alright. Okay? You have nothing to worry about."

"Okay," he nodded his head. "But if you expect me to not worry, well I cannot make any promises."

"I know," she sighed, before standing up. "Let me get cleaned up and then I can make us some breakfast."

Edward shook his head. "You get cleaned up. I will take care of breakfast." He kissed her on the forehead before heading into the kitchen.

Bella made her way back to Edward's bedroom. She walked over to his dresser where he had cleared his top drawer out for her and grabbed a pair of shorts, underwear, and a bra. She then grabbed her favorite t-shirt of his out of the second drawer. It was the Oxford one that held special memories from before they had started dating.

Before heading into the bathroom, Bella had to grab something out of her purse. At the bottom of her handbag, she found the pink rectangular box that she had purchased late last night. Bella had stopped at a drug store on her way home from dinner with Rosalie, Emmett, and their baby, Emma.

Rosalie and Emmett had only been married seven months, before she learned that she was pregnant. They both had been equally thrilled. Rose had always wanted to be a mother. She used to tell Bella and Alice that it felt like something she was meant to be. Emmett was excited about being a father, almost as much as he was about Rose's happiness. They had both always wanted a big family.

The original plan for Bellas was to leave their house by six. She was going to stop at the drug store, buy a test, and then take it before Edward got home. He taught an evening class on Mondays and Fridays this semester, which guaranteed he would not be home before eight. However, things never go as planned.

Emma, now seven months old, did not want anyone, but Bella to hold her. She did not want either Emmett or Rose, not even her favorite aunt, Alice, who was also there with her husband, Jasper, to hold her. Whenever Bella tried to put her down, Emma started to cry. Finally Rose begged Bella to stay until she fell asleep. Emma was wide awake until nine-thirty. It was a little later when she had finally fallen and stayed asleep. Bella did not walk into Edward's apartment much before ten-thirty. He had, of course, been home and greeted her with smiles.

"Hey," Edward's voice made Bella jump.

She spun around hiding the box behind her back. "What's up, babe?"

He eyed her suspiciously before continuing. "Alice just called. She wanted to know if we would be up to having a late lunch with them today. I am up for it, but I wanted to check with you. Are you sure you are okay?"

"Yep," she said quickly. "I am great. And a late lunch sounds great as well." Bella had forced the biggest smile on her face. It was starting to make her cheeks hurt.

"Okay," he nodded his head slowly. "I will go tell her then." Edward gave her another look before backing out of the room slowly.

When he was finally gone, Bella let out a sigh of relief. She gathered her stuff together, slipping the test under her clothes. Bella then shot back down the hall and into the bathroom. She closed and locked the door behind her.

.…

Bella sat on the floor of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. The shower was still on to fool her lover. The door remained locked. The water from her hair dripped down her shoulders, but Bella did not care. She stared at the pink positive sign that stared back at her.

The signs had been there. She was late. It had been about eight weeks since the beginning of her last period. Bella had written it off as stress and also the fact that she had not been eating right. It has happened before. She had figured that the process of the past two months was starting to take a toll on her. Then with her upcoming trip, it was all so overwhelming. However, when she had started getting sick almost every day for a week, she became concerned. So this should not have come as such a big shock, but Bella felt like she was on the verge of a panic attack.

Having a baby was something that she thought about happening a few years down the road- certainly not now. Bella and Edward had not even discussed the possibility of having kids for the two years they had been dating. The only time it had ever been mentioned, was when her mother had brought it up at Rosalie's wedding, two years ago. Sure she had imagined what it would be like to have children with Edward. She had visions of little boys and girls with her dark brown hair and his piercing green eyes running into the room in the morning to wake them. They were wonderful dreams; however it had never really bothered her that Edward had never brought up the idea of kids. She was only twenty-five. They had plenty of time for that.

Another side of her- the one that Rosalie and Alice told her to never listen to- started to think that maybe, Edward never wanted kids. Maybe he hated kids. No. That's not true. He absolutely adored Emma. But he may have never wanted kids of his own. Maybe he would feel trapped if he realized she was pregnant. She did not truly believe that either. The real doubts were her own. Was she really ready for everything that came with children right now?

Damn. Why had we never had this talked about this before? It was probably the same reason why we never discussed marriage.

A knock at the door interrupted Bella's panicked thoughts. "Breakfast is ready. Is everything okay in there?"

Bella stood up and turned off the shower. She paused for moment- thinking about what to say.

"Um yeah," was the only thing she was able to get out.

"Okay." She could hear him outside the door. Bella imagined him hesitating like he usually does when he knows that she's not telling him the complete truth. She has not seen that look since they started dating. She then heard him walk down the hall and into the kitchen.

As she got dressed, Bella decided that there was a chance that the test was wrong. She was going to need to set up a doctor's appointment after she got back and pray that her little friend makes an appearance soon. She knew if she told Edward of her suspicions he would try to convince her not to leave. Bella decided that she would be back in a month and that she would just take necessary precautions until then. No alcohol and she would eat healthier. She could not be any more than two months along if she was.

Once her hair was brushed she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself from a side view. She lifted her shirt and patted her flat abdomen. She then attempted to push out her stomach to imagine a possible baby bump, but could not.

Bella sighed once more before leaving the bathroom. She had wrapped the test in toilet tissue and stuck it back into the box. She then placed it in a plastic bag and put it at the bottom of her suitcase that she would be taking with her. She was going to have to dispose of the evidence before she left.

"Yum, something smells good," she declared as she walked into the kitchen. She gave him a kiss on the cheek before sitting down opposite of him at the table that she helped him pick out two years prior.

"I made your favorite," he smiled. On the table sat the one thing that Edward was able to make, omelets.

"Thank you," she said before taking a bite. "I have really been craving this," Bella paused. "I mean I have really wanted this."

"Well I am glad I made it than," he told her. Bella could feel his eyes on her, so she opted to keep her head down and eat.

Edward had just finished his own eggs. He then picked up the video camera that Bella had failed to notice. "You better not think about recording me eating, Masen."

"Relax. I am charging the battery right now." He put his hands up in defense. "Besides I should be able to record my last day with my girlfriend before she leaves me for a month. I may forget what you look like!"

"It's only a month Masen," she shook her head at him. "So what time are we meeting up with Alice and Jasper?"

"We will be meeting Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Emma, Carlisle, and Esme," Edward counted off the names on his fingers, "at the diner around two."

"Ah, so it will be a family affair," Bella laughed. "It will be a nice little distraction."

"That's what I figured," he said.

"Okay, so let's go over the plan for today one more time."

Edward shook his head at her. He was used to his girlfriend's need to over schedule everything. "Okay," he sighed.

"So now we are going to lunch with Alice at two, so this means I will need to be ready by one instead," she said making a mental note. "I am supposed to meet with Mr. Davis at five, right?"

"Correct," Edward nodded. "You will do the reading at six and start signing when you are done until eight."

"Then I catch my plane at nine, arrive in Forks by midnight, then revisit the Hell that is high school at seven in the morning," she finished. "I am exhausted just thinking about it." Once she was done eating, she picked up the plates to wash them along with the rest of the breakfast dishes.

"I think you need to schedule naps," he told her.

"I hope the kids aren't too mean," she said seriously.

"I'm sorry I won't be there to protect you," he gave her that crooked smile. Edward lifted up his video camera and slid the battery back in. "Now I never got that word to your fans," he said putting the camera to his eye. He focused in on her standing at the sink.

"Edward," she warned. "There are other things that you should be doing today. Don't you have papers to grade?"

"Eh," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I will get to them. This is more important. It's a big day for my love." It always made her weak in the knees when he called her that.

Bella sighed. "What if we are making a bigger deal about this than we should?" She started scrubbing the frying pan. "I mean people liked the last book, but what if this one has lost that spark that many of my readers liked about the first one. You know, what made it so relatable?"

This new book Bella had published was about a young woman, Josie, who travels the world as a part of her job. She is an international reporter and it is her job to get the latest stories around the globe, first hand. Bella usually looked to herself for inspiration of the main character; however she found herself looking towards her character for inspiration today. The woman was very career focused and driven, but she somehow manages to find romance on almost every continent she visits. Whenever one looked as if it could be forever, Josie decides to follow her career as it takes her away. She keeps up this pattern until one day she meets this man, Patrick, who she could not decide if she hated or loved. They strike up the one thing that Josie does not have many of; a friendship. When Josie has to leave, Patrick vows to stay in contact. They maintain communication by exchanging emails every day. Josie tells him about everything that she experiences and sees in the foreign countries that she visits, while Patrick tells her about what he learns as he studies to become a doctor. When Patrick tells her that he has met a woman that he thinks he may love, Josie is heartbroken. She must decide if what she feels for him is love before it is too late.

"Hey, I know I may not be a woman, but I still thought it had plenty of sparks. Maybe even more than the first one," Edward told her. He had been the first one to read the book when she had finished.

"You are sweet," Bella walked over and gave him a kiss once she put away the last plate. "I just hope everyone else feels the same way." She looked down as he held her hands before popping her head back up. That glint that Edward loved so much in her eyes. "Now if you are done videotaping, I can think of another way to be distracted." She gave him a mischievous smile before exiting the kitchen.

Edward turned the camera around to face him. "Well this is Edward Masen signing- Oh never mind." He shut off the camera and left it on the table. He then chased his girlfriend down the hallway, scooping her up into his arms along the way.

…

"So what are we telling everyone," Bella asked pointing to her own eye. She kept her eyes focused on the road. They were on their way to the diner.

"I am just going to say I ran into a door," he said grumpily.

"I said I was sorry," Bella said. "It's not like I did it on purpose. It's actually rather embarrassing."

The two of them had been lying on his bed, her t-shirt already lay forgotten on the floor. Edward had been slowly lavishing her neck with kisses. Painfully slow for Bella. So in an attempt to speed up the process, her hands roughly pulled at the bottom of his shirt as she tried to rip it off of him. Edward was having none of that as he grabbed a hold of her hands and held them in one of his. Bella found she was unable to think clearly as she felt him begin to nibble at the sensitive skin behind her ear. His other hand began to play with the lace on the front of her bra causing her skin to feel as if it were on fire. Bella's mind had begun to wander as her eyes had rolled upwards in a surrender as she allowed him complete control over her body. She was lost in his touch, when her eyes caught sight of a picture of Emma sitting on top of Edward's dresser. Suddenly, the thought of babies popped into her head. She started to distantly remember the pregnancy test she had taken not even two hours prior. It had been the direct result of doing what she was about to do.

Panicked; Bella had shot forward and in the process nailed Edward in the eye with her elbow. Killing the mood as a result. She had not registered what she had done until she was on the other side of the bed, away from him. Bella had immediately begun to apologize while at the same time covering her body with her arms. Her excuse was that she saw a bug on the nightstand.

"I am not mad at you Isabella. Even though you did react that way to a bloody spider," he mumbled the last part. "Does it look that bad?" Edward removed the icepack from over his eye.

Bella glanced over. His eye had started off a shade of red and now it was a dark purple. "You should really keep that ice on it."

"Ugh."

"But I think you look kind of dangerous," Bella offered. She really did feel guilty.

Edward let out a sigh.

Bella pulled the Volvo into a parking space on the side of the diner next to what appeared to be Carlisle's car. When he got out of the car, Edward walked over to the driver's door and opened it. Bella grabbed his hand as she climbed out of the car. She was straightening her dress, when Emmett pulled up next to them.

"What happened to you," he asked as he unbuckled Emma from her car seat. The sleeping baby was bundled up in her winter coat as well as a hat and mittens. "You look like you lost a fight. Did Bella do this to you again?"

"Obviously Bella knows how to keep her man in line," Rosalie winked at her best friend.

"Actually," Edward said clearing his throat. "I ran into a door." The other couple stopped and looked at him.

"Is this like the whole 'You are with a person long enough you start looking like them'? Except in your case, you become as klutzy as them." Emmett observed his cousin's eye closer.

"Emmett do you mind," Edward said as he took a step back.

"How about we go in and sit down Esme and Carlisle are already here," Bella suggested suddenly.

"Yeah," Rosalie said taking the baby from Emmett. "I do not want Emma out in this cold for too long."

"Besides, I can't wait for Mom's reaction to Eddie's eye."

Edward wrapped his arm around Bella's waist. "Thank you." He whispered into her ear.

Esme's reaction to Edward's eye was just as they had predicted. She demanded to know what happened right away. After making up an elaborate story of how he was not watching where he was going when he ran into the door, Alice and Jasper walked in. Edward then explained for the third time what had "happened" as they gasped when they saw him.

Once everyone had settled down and ordered their food, Bella watched her family talk, with excitement, to one another as if they had not spoken in weeks. Coming from a small family, biologically- Bella has always felt blessed to have all of these amazing characters in her life. She has always believed that she was a part of something special.

Rose was in the middle of telling Alice and Esme how Emma tried to pull herself into a standing position that morning. Most babies were still crawling at this age, but not Emma. She gushed about how advanced her baby was. Bella's hand automatically went to touch her flat stomach.

"And then all you have to do is pat that baby to make sure it's secure and you are good to go." Bella popped her head up at Jasper. He was explaining something automotive related to Edward.

"'I'm late! I'm late, for a very important date. I'm late! I'm late!'". Bella's eyes darted over to the other end of the table. Emmett was reading to Emma from her Alice and Wonderland book. Bella could feel her stomach start to churn.

"Is everything okay, Bella," Carlisle asked, causing her to jump.

Bella quickly brought her hands together. "What? Oh yeah. I am fine, just working through nerves." She wondered if Carlisle could interpret her actions. He was an obstetrician.

Carlisle gave her one of those all-knowing fatherly looks. "Well I'm not buying that, but I have learned that things do come out eventually in this family." He paused for a moment to give her a chance to respond. When she didn't he continued. "So how has your work at the new magazine been going? Do you like it?"

"It's going really good," she said enthusiastically. "I love it."

"So you are excited about this trip than?"

"Yes. I am a little concerned about pulling it off. I have never been a very good actress," she smiled. "However I can't wait to get an idea of what has been going on. It may all just be an unfortunate coincidence, but we have been getting hints from inside that there may be more to it than that. My job really isn't to expose or embarrass these young girls. And we also want to avoid bringing more media attention to it because we want to avoid glamorizing it. My job is to first off figure out what has been going on and then find out why there has been such a spike in the pregnancies. We are trying to figure out if it's lack of education on the subject or if it's something that is trending socially. I will be researching the health class curriculum as well as studying the overall attitude of the school towards what's been going on. We already have full cooperation from the school's principal, as long as we follow their strict privacy policy."

"That does sound fascinating," Carlisle said leaning forward. The two then spent the rest of lunch discussing her assignment. By the end she had recruited the help of Carlisle in case she had any medical related questions.

When everyone was finished lunch, the waitress asked if anyone wanted desert. Bella felt as if she could go for a big piece of cake, but when everyone else said they were full she said the same. The waitress then brought out their check. Carlisle and Esme refused to let anyone else pay the bill, so the group walked outside to their cars.

"So what really happened to your eye," Alice turned to her cousin. "Was it the rough sex?"

Bella nearly choked on the air that entered her lungs. She started coughing. "Alice!"

"It's just a question," she said innocently. "Obviously Edward did not run into a door. So something else had to of happened."

"And sex is the first thing to come to mind?"

"Pretty much," she said with a nod.

"Well I hate to disappoint you, but I ran into a door. End of story."

Alice rolled her eyes. "Fine, you can keep lying; however, I will get the story out of Bella later."

When the couples finally departed and the girls had exchanged hundreds of hugs with Bella, it was still only four. "So what shall we do for the next hour," Edward asked Bella.

"Hmm," she put her finger to her chin. "I know!"

The two of them spent the next hour in the little used book store, Books in the Attic. They used to go here every other Sunday as a part of their routine. The couple would split up once they were inside and usually met up forty-five minutes later with a stacks of books in their arms. Bella liked it because it reminded her of the first day she had met Edward. She had run into him after not paying attention to what was going on around her. It was one of the best days of her life.

…..

"… and of course Josie could not give up the opportunity. She would get to live undercover in Kenya with the prime minister for at least a month. However, that was also over a month with no communication with her family. Would it really be worth it? Josie had already known the answer to that question."

Bella closed the book she had been reading from and placed it on her lap. She earned a polite round of applause from the thirty or so people that had shown up. The manager of the store then stood up.

"I hope you enjoyed that exert from the book! I would like to thank Ms. Swan for being here with us. Now if you have not done so already, you can purchase your own copy of Around the Heart in 80 Days. And if you would like it signed, we will start a line at that table in the front of the store and Ms. Swan will sign it for you!"

Bella had sat in the bookstore signing copies of her new book and talking with her readers. Many told her how much they adored her first novel. She loved hearing the stories of how the book had reminded them of their own lives. Bella had felt a lot more comfortable with this part of the release party. It was nice to talk with people that she obviously had a lot more in common with than what she originally thought.

A blonde haired woman had asked her if the first book was based off of a real life romance. Bella had nodded her head shyly. She then pointed out, to the women in line, Edward standing at the back of the store. He had been talking to a man, who Bella assumed was someone's husband or boyfriend. Edward must have sensed that he was now the focus of several women. He glanced over sending them a light wave and a smile. All the women started to giggle at getting his attention.

"He's very attractive," the blonde woman told Bella as she nodded her head in approval.

"Yeah, he is," Bella said sending Edward a wink.

…

Edward had driven Bella to the airport after she finished the signing. He walked her in and to the security gate. She had insisted that he did not have to wait with her when he had offered. The two of them were saying their goodbyes next to the security guards.

"Call me when you get there," Edward instructed her. "I want to make sure that you get in safely."

"I will," she agreed. Bella had her arms wrapped around his neck. Despite how calm she had been up this point, Bella was not prepared to say goodbye. It was going to be more difficult than she had originally thought. It was just hitting her how she was going to be waking up without Edward next to her. The two of them had never gone more than a week away from each other since they had started dating. It was not because they had to be together at all times, it was just that they never had to be apart.

"You better get going," he told her. "You don't want to miss your plane."

"Okay." Bella made no move to leave. Her fingers were still running through the bottom of his hair.

Edward gave her that smile that she loved. "You are going to have to let go, love." He reminded her, but still kept his hands on her hips.

Bella sighed. "I know. Not yet." She stood on her tippy toes to give him one last kiss as she pressed her body into his. She allowed her lips to memorize the shape of his as her tongue traced his bottom lip. He eagerly accepted it as she continued her inventory of everything about his mouth and the way it tasted. Her thumbs stroked the stubble around his chin. She loved that stubble.

When she finally pulled back, Edward gave her a look that was a mix of both lust and love "I will see you soon, love." His voice was rough. He then gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead.

"Okay, love," Bella gave a final wave over her shoulder as she walked over towards the security.

Oh my Edward. So what did you guys think?

Should I continue with this? I will no matter what, but you know, I like this open relationship that we have :)

Love,

BookWorm4Life

P.s. I hope no one took offense to Rose's little joke over his eye. In no way do I see domestic abuse as something to be laughed at.
