Chapter Two: Edward the Carebear

Edward looked up at me, his face hard.

"Well?" I asked, impatiently.

"Isn't it obvious?"

He stepped over the cashier's body and wrapped his arms around me.

"Alice saw that you were going to be in trouble so I came to help you."

I sighed. "What exactly did Alice see?"

"She saw exactly what I saw when I arrived not too long ago; that idiot keeping you from getting to your car. Who knows what he could've done to you! You're lucky I was here."

I scoffed and pushed him off of me.

"Thanks Edward, but I can take care of myself."

His eyebrows furrowed and he put his hands on his hips, looking a lot like an angry housewife.

"Really, Bella? And what have you done that proves you can take care of yourself? Ran straight into the clutches of a dangerous vampire? Jumped off of a cliff? Tried to sacrifice yourself in the middle of a war? Gotten preg-"

"That's enough!" I said cutting him off.

Lots of shoppers had stopped what they were doing to see what was going on. I dragged Edward out of the building and into the car.

"Now," I said calmly, "may I remind you that if it weren't for you, none of those things would have happened. And though they all were terrible and dangerous, everything turned out all right in the end."

"I don't want anything bad to happen to you again."

"I don't want anything to happen to you either. That's why it's great that we're both vampires now! We'll be okay as long as we're together."

He nodded slowly.

"I see what you mean. Don't worry; I completely understand what you want me to do."

The next morning, the cottage was in ruins. I was trying to calm down Renesmee whose doll was impaled by a glass shard from one of the windows. Meanwhile Edward was running around, trying to clean the place up so it could be put back together.

Edward and I had gone straight home, and then decided that after Renesmee was put down to sleep, we should go to the bed. And there was only one thing two vampires could do in a bed. Like Emmett and Rosealie had predicted, we went too far.

I fixed the doll up for Renesmee and sent her off to go play with it in what used to be her room. Then I went over to Edward and wrapped my arms around him.

"Now, that was fun, wasn't it?"

He laughed and kissed my head, then went back to cleaning.

"Do you need any help?"

"No, it's okay, I can do this myself."

I shrugged and walked towards the door.

"Alright then, I'm going to go hunt."

He suddenly turned around and almost flew over to me. I laughed at how dramatic he was about it.

"What is it?"

He looked at me with the same eyes as last night.

"I'm going with you."

I looked into his eyes, seeing a pool of liquid topaz before me.

"You're fine, Edward. I'm the one that needs it."

I stepped towards the door again and he matched my step exactly. I got a little frustrated at this point. He wasn't going to give up on this 'Bella is a fragile human' charade easily. I burst out of the door, zooming into the forest. He followed me of course, but he couldn't quite match my speed.

He didn't believe I could take care of myself because I had been human for so long. I needed to do something to prove to him that I could...

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Alright, this chapter isn't too long either, but I've been busy and figured I needed to post something before people attacked me. .

Thank you, thank you for reviewing and favoriting! I love you all so much! Keeping reading and reviewing, I need lots of help to make this story all that it can be! I might make a poll on my profile, so look out for that.

Chapter three should be up soon. I'm not promising anything, because I have school and homework piles up.

Enjoy!
