A/N thanks all of you for staying with the story! And I thank the three reviewers who commented on the last chapter!
Q&A- Yes this is an all-human story, and there will be no vamps. I will try to let you into the head of the caller, maybe n this chappie, maybe in the next.
Disclaimer- I do not own Twilight or the Cullen men. Sigh.
"Love, I have something to tell you, something very important." I wondered if she could see me breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Me too!" Bella was practically jumping up and down in the seat.
"You first" I mumbled, wanting to delay the news for as long as possible.
"Edward, I'm pregnant!"
EdPOV
My mind was reeling as I tried to take in the news. Bella, pregnant, again! This was the worst possible time!
Bella must have seen something on my face, because she pouted and said, "Well, you don't seem too excited."
"Well, it has to do with my news love," I took a deep breath, exhaled, and tried to think of a reason to keep the news from her.
Bella could see that I was nervous and stalling. I took a deep breath and continued. "Emmett and Jasper are heading over soon. You and Renesmee will have to go into hiding. Immediately. You will both be staying at Emmett's house. "
There was only disbelief in Bella's eyes.
"Why?"
"Because, there is someone who knows me from my old work. He is the one who killed Colonel Richmond. He has threatened to come after you and Nessie. He is watching us right now."
Bella crossed her arms over her stomach, seemingly without realizing it. She looked scared. My heart broke seeing her like this.
"This person is also out to get Jazz and Emmett. Jasper is going to say with you and Renesmee in the mansion, as well as with Rosalie and Alice. Emmett and I are going to hunt down this freak. You and our babies are going to be fine."
Bella raised her tear streaked face, and I just had to kiss her. "Everything is going to be okay," I murmured. "We will be fine."
BPOV
Usually kissing Edward makes me forget what I was previously thinking about, and believe me, he used it against me often. But today, not even his cool lips could make me forget what he had said.
He's the one who murdered Colonel Richmond.
He threatened to come after you and Nessie.
He is watching us right now.
My hands had drifted down to my belly sometime during the conversation. There was new life growing there, life that was threatened by this monster.
I was seething inside. Who did this monster think he was to threaten my family! My father is the Chief of Police in Forks, Washington, where I had spent most of my childhood summers. Edward was on first name basis with the President of the United States of America for Heaven's sakes. The President's mother had given me Nessie's crib, the same one her sons had used. My brother had died protecting the President, taking a bullet meant for the leader of the country. Edward and his friends, Emmett and Jasper, had been on the Special Forces team together, and now Emmett was working for the FBI. Jasper was married to the daughter of the Head of the CIA. Edward was the son of Carlisle Cullen, a doctor on the NEA Commission and the DPL Commission. (A/N these commissions are fictional) His mother was the women who introduced the President's son and the daughter of one of her friends, they had been happily married for the last 3 years. This guy was messing with a lot of influential people.
He is watching us.
You and Nessie will have to go into hiding.
Emmett and I are going to hunt down this freak.
"You-your going after him?" I managed to get out.
What if this murderer hurt Edward?
Why was he even after Edward? My head was reeling with questions.
I looked up at Edward's green eyes and lost my train of thought.
"Why don't you go tell Nessie, love, while I go make a few more arrangements?" Edward slid off the couch and walked back to his office.
I called Nessie over and had her sit down facing me. My beautiful daughter had Edward's hair, and my eyes. She was the prettiest, kindest girl I had ever seen, and she was in danger.
"Honey, we are going to go visit Uncle Emmett's house for a while, ok? Daddy is going to be on a mission, like he did when you were a baby. You are going to get to see Aunt Rosie and Aunt Alice. How does that sound?"
I wanted to tell her the truth, but she was too young to understand. How was I supposed to tell her someone wanted to kill Mommy and Daddy? To kill her?
"I would like that Mommy. Are Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper going to be there too?"
"Uncle Jasper will be there, but not Uncle Emmett, he is going with Daddy."
The Whitlock's and the McCarty's where not related to us by blood, but both family's doted on Renesmee because Rosalie could not conceive and Alice had had surgery for her cancer which had left her infertile. All of them loved my daughter as much as I did.
We would be safe inside the McCarty mansion. When Rose had been 21, a co-worker had become obsessed with her. In the end, he had started stalking her. The man was in jail, and Rose and Emmett had exceptionally good security. We would be safe!
EdPOV
I heard the doorbell ring early Saturday morning. I groaned, rolled over, checked the clock, and got out of bed.
"Thanks for coming, but couldn't you have waited until a decent hour in the morning? It is 6-fricken-30 in the fricken morning, and I was up 'til 4 this morning trying to get an ID on this creep."
Emmett pounded my back and Jasper shook my hand. Alice and Rose were already at the safe house. We sat down and started discussing tactics to catch the psycho caller.
When Bella and Renesmee finished breakfast, I strapped Renesmee in to her car seat and said goodbye, while Bella went to get the bags. When she came out, I gave Renesmee a final kiss, then swept Bella off her feet into a rather heated kiss, if I do say so myself.
When I finally pulled away, I looked deep into Bella's eyes and saw that she had probably gotten the same amount of sleep as I had last night. I kissed her one more time, reluctant to break away, until I heard Emmett shouting, "Not in front of innocent eyes, lovebirds!"
I kissed Bella for about another second, then pulled away with a sigh to allow her to get into the car. Jasper hopped into the front seat and waited for Emmett and I to get in our car. We would tail their car until they reached the mansion, then Emmett and I would head over to the FBI headquarters to begin our investigation.
EdPOV
The trip was going smoothly, until my phone started ringing.
I glanced down at the caller's number and winced. 976-628-9240.
It was the psycho caller.
I picked up swearing.
"Hello, Edward Cullen." I was trying my best to remain calm, and not to shout.
"Hello Edward, it's me! Have you recognized me yet?"
The answer to his question was on the tip of my tongue. It just would not come to me.
"Edward, are you still there? I can see you right behind Jasper's van. Don't worry; I won't kill them right now. Just watch them closely for the next few minutes. Bye-Bye!"
He hung up on me. I swore and threw my cell. Bastard.
Emmett grabbed my arm and shouted, "What's happening with their car?"
A/N Please don't kill me! I want to warn you guys, there might be a character death in this story. Not now, but maybe later. WHOEVER REVIEWS WITH THE CORRECT NAME OF THE PSYCHO CALLER FIRST WILL GET RECOGNITION IN THE NEXT CHAPTER, AND REVIEWS ON ALL THEIR STORIES! Thanks for reviewing and the next chappie will be out around Sunday/Monday. Love to all and REVIEW!
