Chapter Two

That whole week was absolutely perfect, Charlie had come over everyday after work to see the twins, since I had moved in with the Cullen's. He was still getting used to the term grandpa, as was Carlisle.

That Sunday, Alice's face went blank and her eyes seemed to glaze over, as it always did when she was having a vision. When it had finished, she looked up between Edward and I in horror. I felt Edwards body stiffen beside me, "That's not possible," Edward said coldly, the warmth that was in his voice moments ago had disappeared.

"What's not possible? What's wrong?" What were they keeping from me? "Alice, tell me what you saw!" I cried, frustrated.

"Oh, Bella I am so sorry. It's the Volturi. They are coming. They want you and the twins." Her voice rang with concern, and I new that she was still keeping something from me.

"Why? What did we do? Why do they want us?" Edward started to shake in anger as Alice started to say the next thing.

"They want the Mason and Marie for experiments…. And they want you for…" she started.

"What do they want me for?" I yelled now impatient and frustrated.

"Breeding." Edward said through clenched teeth.

"There has to be another way around this!" Edward yelled, his eyes black as coal. Everyone became silent and avoided Edward's gaze, "Anyway would be better than this, please Carlisle," He begged.

"I'm sorry," Carlisle said lightly, but there is no other way. "Bella will leave to stay with her mother tomorrow, Edward we will leave right after." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, two years without Edward. They would be the worst of my life. When I looked up from my hands everyone had left the room and I was situated on Edward's lap.

"Edward," I sobbed, if I could cry the tears would be streaming down my face, "I can't live without you, not even for two years. Not even for two minutes." I felt his cool forehead press against mine.

"Bella, I love you so much. I will love you even more when I see you again." I looked up at him and his eyes screamed sorrow and loneliness.

"I love you, too."

"Eternity is a long time, what's two years, in the life of a vampire?" His attempts at making me feel any better were failing miserably, especially since his face was telling me the words he spoke were not the truth.

"I'm sorry that this is the only way, but I would never be able to forgive myself if anything happened to any of you."

"I know Edward, I know."

We stayed like that until morning, when Carlisle came in and handed me two plane tickets. "You should go home and pack." He said. All the Cullen's were in the family room then, saying there goodbyes.

"When you get back, we are going on a shopping trip," Alice said a weak smile forming on her lips.

"Don't count on it," I told her giving her a huge hug.

"Don't fall, sis," Emmett said simply giving me a huge bear hug.

"Goodbye, Bella," Jasper said, a calm wave sweeping over me. He put his arm around me and pulled me into a tight hug. "We'll miss you."

"Thanks Jasper. You too."

Carlisle and Esme caught me in a hug at the same time. "I love you guys, too."

Rosalie just gave me a quick hug, "I've gotten used to you being around, I'm kind of going to miss you." She said smiling a little.

"You too Rose."

I left the mansion not knowing when or if I would ever see it again, I silently promised myself, if it was the last thing I did I would see the Cullen's again.

The twins were asleep in the back of the car tightly wrapped in blankets and safely buckled into there baby seats.

When we reached Charlie's, Edward opened my door for me and grabbed the kids. He walked me up to my room and I collapsed on my bed in sobs.

He put the twins on the bed, still in there car seat/baby carriers, next to us. I felt his cold arms wrap around me, "It's okay Bella. Sooner than you know we will be back together and this will only be a bad memory." I turned to look at him and gave him a passionate kiss.

"I will always love you Edward Cullen."

"And I you, Isabella Cullen."
