Ok let me make this very clear…

Edward and Bella's relationship is NOT brother and sister, that would be sick and twisted.

All will be revealed just don't think of their relationship like that .

This chap is EPOV and had flashbacks of Bella growing up over the years.

Enjoy

EPOV

16years later…

I was just laying back on my bed in my room thinking about her. She was so beautiful, she looked like her mother now only prettier. I tried to deny my feelings for her but it was pointless. Even when she was a baby I had felt that strong pull towards her. I was the one that held her close as we ran away from that nightmare. I was the one she would always come to, the one she didn't see as a brother or sister. I sighed thinking of the angel I was deeply and madly in love with, when someone knocked on my door. I knew it was her before the door even opened; her room was conveniently opposite mine on the top floor and she was the only one who had the decency to knock.

"Edward…" My angel whispered as she snuck into my room; well she wasn't really sneaking seeing as every vampire in this house could hear her.

"Bella" I breathed and smiled at her when she looked over at me and was literally glowing; I could swear she really was an angel.

"I couldn't sleep. Is it ok if I stay with you tonight?" She asked and I could tell something was bothering her.

"Bella we pretty much sleep in the same bed every single night, you don't even have to ask. Come on get in here." I told her. Bella didn't hesitate and quickly jumped in under the covers with me and cuddled up close to my chest as I wrapped my arms around her waist to keep her there. "Now what's going on? Something's bothering you I can tell." I said looking her in the eyes. God she was so beautiful.

"Nothing I just can't sleep without you." She told me. There was truth in her words but she was also hiding something.

"Bella… Come on what is it? You know you can tell me anything." I told her and kissed her forehead. She relaxed instantly and melted in my arms before telling me what had happened.

"Well I'm just really nervous you know. I'm starting Junior High and at a new school tomorrow, I mean what if no one likes me?" She rambled. I laughed slightly; she was like this every time we moved to a new place, but she was adorable when she was like this.

"Bella, first off people will love you. Second, you have all of us here for you. Third, I will not leave your side." I told her, she smiled up at me.

"You promise you'll be there?" She asked still unsure.

"I promise I will never leave you Bella." I promised.

"Thank you Edward." She sighed resting her head on my chest.

"Sleep now Bella. My angel." I said softly.

"Sing for me Edward." She murmured, I smiled and didn't hesitate as I sang the lullaby I had sung to her that night all those years ago.

'Hush little Bella, don't you cry,

Edward is here I will hold you tight,

Sleep my precious angel, I will protect you,

You will always be safe, I am here for you.'

I finished singing in my; as Bella called it; 'dazzling' voice, and sure enough she was asleep in no time. As I watched over my sleeping angel here safe in my arms I realized how much she has grown and how beautiful she has become both inside and out. I remembered all the years I had watched her grow into the beautiful young woman I hold in my arms now.

FLASHBACKS…

Bella 6 months old

I ran into her nursery stepping carefully over her dead mothers body and pulled Bella into my arms protectively as I sang to her. She calmed down immediately and fell asleep in my arms.

Bella 8months old

I ran with Bella on my back through the forest to the hidden cottage that my family had found for us to hide at for a while. I placed her down in her crib and as I stepped back she stood up and cried out. I stepped forward and she calmed down, I stepped back and turned away but this time she didn't cry out; she distinctly said MY name. "Ewid" Bella cried and my whole family was by her crib in an instant. She cried again and screeched "Ewid!" so loud that we had to block our ears. Esme told me to pick her up so I did. Bella settled down and fell asleep in my arms as I looked down at her in awe. "Her first word…" Someone murmured but I wasn't paying attention to the others, I only had eyes for the baby in my arms. I was her first word.

Bella 6years old

"You ready Bella?" Carlisle said to the little girl standing in front of us on her first day of school. She now had long dark brown wavy hair and was absolutely beautiful in my eyes.

"Can't Edward come with me?" Bella asked again. Everyone turned to look at me and their thoughts were all similar, 'their connection is so strong', was usually thrown around or, 'they can't even be apart for the shortest time'. I just blocked out all of their thoughts and turned my attention to my Bella.

"I can't come with you Bella but I wont be far I promise." I told her then took her in my arms for another hug. "I will never leave you Bella." I whispered the promise to her and she hugged me tighter then ran off into the school eager for her first day.

Bella 10 years old

"EDWARD!" Bella shouted out for me. The boys around her just laughed. I ran towards her and saw that she was being cornered by a group of ten year old boys.

"Calling out to her invisible boyfriend. What a freak." One boy spat at her.

"Apologize." I growled, I had to remember they were only ten but they had spat at my Bella.

"..sorry Bella." The boy stuttered out, I turned around to a crying Bella.

"Bella angel are you ok?" I asked her as I grabbed her bag from the tree the brats had thrown it up into.

"Ye..yes." She sobbed, it broke my dead heart every time I saw my angel cry. "Can we leave now?" She begged and I nodded before swinging her around onto my back and walking at a human pace out of the school and back home to tell the family it was time to move again.

Bella 13years old

"Uncle Carlisle?" Bella asked looking up at our family, we were all sitting around the table while Bella ate her dinner and the rest of us pretended to eat..

"Yes Bella…" Carlisle said.

"Why don't any of you ever look different or get older?" She asked, we couldn't avoid this any longer she had to know now when she already suspected something rather than if she were ever in danger and we had to act.

"Bella honey you have to understand, we're not… normal per say." Esme said quietly.

"We're not exactly like you Bella." Jasper said sending a wave of calm throughout the room.

"What do you mean?" She asked. "Edward why aren't you normal?" she said looking at me. I took her hand in mine as I talked.

"Bella you know how our eyes change color and that we seem a bit different from every other… family." I told her and she nodded. I squeezed her hand before saying the next part. "Bella we're vampires. When you were very little only 6months old we saved you and ran." Bella's eyes widened but she didn't run she just held my hand tighter.

"Well actually Edward saved you, his love for you is stronger than any I've ever seen Bella." Jasper supplied.

"Bella I'm sorry that we lied to you, I am willing to tell you the whole story if you will let me." Carlisle said. She nodded and there Carlisle told her all about us and how we knew her parents and what had happened that night.

"So it wasn't a dream." She murmured softly. "I always dream of my mother screaming as a strange man came into my room and then I would see Edward." She told us. I was in shock to say the least, she knew deep down what had happened all along and was in pain because of it.

Bella 15years old

'Edward you don't have to walk me to class, I'll be fine, I'll see you at lunch.' Bella thought as I met her outside her classroom to take her to her next class. I noticed she had a fair group of followers behind her; much to my disliking they were all guys. Bella seemed fine with it as two of them caught up with her and linked arms with her, she just smiled and kissed each of them on the cheek once.

Bella had grown so much, she had turned into the most beautiful girl ever. Her brown wavy hair now hung low down her back, she had all the right curves, she didn't wear make-up and she didn't need to she was perfect already; just to sum it all up she was all over beautiful, or like the jerks around here thought 'hot as hell'.

Bella actually seemed to be liking it here and we had stayed here the longest. It wasn't until she burst through the front door one night balling her eyes out and ran straight into my arms that was the night the jerk Newton had tried to get fresh with her. I was so mad the only reason I didn't go tear him apart was the angel in my arms. I got her to calm down and that's when she started sleeping in my bed every night from then on. Before that night it was only every now and then she would come to my room at night but she said she didn't want to be anywhere else but in my arms.

…

PRESENT…

I snapped out of my memories and noticed that it was now morning and the sun was coming up. Bella was a lot closer than she had been when she fell asleep and I realized we were spooning slightly, I should have woken her up but then she whispered the one thing I lived to hear.

"I love you Edward" She whispered in her sleep and I tightened my arms around her. That was it that confirmed it. My love for Bella couldn't be avoided any more. I loved her and would show her from now on exactly how much. She was my Bella. My angel. My mate. As soon as I realized it I felt the change in our connection; it was stronger more like and electric charge now. I looked down at my angel and saw that she was staring up at me with the biggest smile on her face.
