Chapter 4: It Can't Wait
-Edward pov-
Bella had fallen asleep in my arms as I walked her home. I could tell we had been out for a long period of time because I scented dawn coming. I opened the door and laid her gently on the couch. As I went to get up she held on to my shirt
"No don't go" she muttered opening her beautiful eyes
"Ok. I'll stay" I laid down besides her bulling a blanket down from the back of the couch making a barrier from her and my still cold body. I kissed her forehead smelling the soft scent of her favorite shampoo.
As Bella fell in to a deep sleep I rose and closed the curtains keeping the morning sun out. I knew she would be as shocked as the first time she saw me in the sun, I don't think its something you get used to. I sat in the kitchen looking at the bright cupboards and the odd paintings that Linsey and Bella had done long before I cane back.
A twinge of guilt struck me when I thought about all that Bella would be giving up when she moved back to Forks with me.
Bella's soft voice calmed my jumbled thoughts
"Edward?" I heard my name is her elegant tone.
Bella was wrapped in the blanket looking groggy
"Good morning" I walked back in to the living room sitting on a chair
"What time is it?" she was searching blindly of the coffee table for her watch.
"Its 6:00am" I told her grabbing her hands sitting down next to her pulling her in to my lap again, taking in the sweet scent again
"I'm going to be late for work Edward" Bella tried to stand up but I held her down whispering in her ear
"You're not going any where today Miss Bella. I won't let you" I pressed my lips to her throat then her jaw but avoiding her lips
"I…I…Have to go to work. I'll get fired…if I don't" she muttered weakly giving in to my tempting
'Easy victory' I thought kissing that spot behind her ear that I always remembered make her shake.
"I could call in sick today" she gave, melting in to my embrace as I kissed her lips hungrily
"Ummm" was herd from behind us in a voice that could have been an angels
I turned to see Linsey on the stairs circles under her eyes dark and eyes hungry
Bella blushed bright red and moved out of my lap to sit next to me
"You can come in now Linsey" I said holding on to Bella's hand as our daughter walked in to sit in the chair across from the couch
"Should I go?" she asked her dark eyes held a flat look that said 'just let me go'
"No it's fine" I looked at Bella then smiled at Linsey
"Alright." Linsey started slowly "I have a question. Why is my throat for dry?"
"You must be thirsty. You need to feel, the blood will help you" I told her in a matter of a fact tone
"What do we eat?" she asked true wonder in her velvet voice
"Animals, Linsey. You must never feed off a human. You don't want that on your conscience" I told her sternly knowing what it felt like to have that human dead in your arms.
"Alright you don't have to be an ass about it." She snapped at me harshly. I was taken aback by her words.
This time is wasn't I who spoke, but Bella in a voice that I had never herd from her beautiful voice
"Hey! Young lady watch your tongue." She scolded Linsey with anger in her eyes.
"Sorry mom" then she turned to me and said in a mocking voice "sorry Edward" she got up and went to her room gracefully ascending the stairs
Bella sighed and leaned on my chest "I'm sorry I have been trying to get her to stop saying things like that" her voice held worry that was earned over the years
"Bella I have heard worse things. Remember I can read peoples thoughts" I reminded her chuckling softly
"But not mine?" she mocked me in a cute voice
I leaned over and kisses her cheek "no, but not yours" I chuckled again holding her
"Let's go do something to night" Bella suggested with bright eyes
"I think that would be wonderful. First I have to take Linsey hunting"
My voice held a hint of worry that Bella herd
"She will be a great vampire Edward. She just needs time"
I looked at her eyes. Love worry, age, and beauty looked back at me
Bella looked away from me blushing at my gaze
"A lot has changed Bella. Both you and I know that but the one think that will never change is how much I love you" I tried to look into her eyes but she turned away again
"I can't remember a time that I didn't love you. But how could you love me when my face has changed so much. I'm not the girl you fell in love with Edward. I've changed" I could see the tears slide down her cheeks and drop on to her folded hands
"You think it's your beauty I fell in love with? You're wrong. It was your heart, your scent, I fell in love with you no one else."
I pulled her in to a tight hug remembering the first day that I met her, when I knew I loved her, our wedding day and every good day in between. "We have a life together Bella. I will never stop loving you" I held her close knowing she needed this more then I did.
When she pulled away her eyes were bright and clear yet she said nothing. Stroking her cheeks lightly I could feel her heart shutter. A smiles played on my lips as I herd her stomach rumble.
"Breakfast time" I teased
"I'm fine" she said lying in my arms "I just want to stay here"
"Bella you have to eat" I picker her up to face me begging her to listen to me
"Edward you have to eat as well" she whispered saintly in my ears she pressed her lips to my cold neck and across my collar bone
"Bella you know I won't feed off of you" with her lips on my skin I was finding it have to think 'this must be how she feels when I kiss her' kept running through my head
A scream broke the moment. A woman was screaming outside the house.
"Bella. Stop, something's wrong with Linsey"
The both of us ran up to Lindsey's room. She was standing at the window looking out at the bright sun light. She skin was shining like diamonds in the sun.
"Linsey!" Bella yelled as I pulled her out of the sun. Bella closed the curtains the looked at me holding Linsey back.
"Let go of me!" Linsey yelled thrashing in my arms "I want to bite her" Linsey yelled again
"What are you going to do Edward" Bella panicked standing in the corner of the room away from Lindsey's fangs
"she needs to hunt and it can't wait till dark!"
