Chapter 4

The smell coming from the kitchen was astonishing. I walked down stairs heading towards the aroma.

"That smells good. What are you making?" I asked Edward wrapping my arms around him and pressing my lips to his bare back.

"Does it? I'll have to take your word on that. I was trying to make you breakfast in bed but you ruined the surprise." He turned to kiss my lips. "Sit. I made Belgium waffles with whip cream, strawberries, and bacon." I sat as directed and he placed a plate of the most delicious looking waffles in front of me.

"I'm sorry I ruined your surprise." I made a pouty face. Alice must be rubbing off on me. "It's still perfect."

"With that face you're forgiven." He grabbed my face and kissed me. "Now eat up. I'll be back in an hour."

"Ok what are we doing today?" I asked shoving the first bite into my mouth

"I'm not sure yet we'll have to see how the day goes." One last kiss then he ran up stairs to change.

"Hey Bella, you got some more of those?" Charlie asked as he came into the kitchen.

"Yeah let me make you a plate." I stood up and began making him a stack.

"Thanks Bells it's been a rough day and it's not even 11 yet. Jacob has run away." Charlie said pouring a glass of juice.

"What?! How's Billy taking it? Do they have any idea where he's gone?" I questioned.

"Billy's not doing too well. He said that Jakes been keeping in contact with his buddies but won't tell them where he is." He answered. "We're going to put out an A.P.B looking for him. He couldn't have gotten far on foot and he didn't take his car." That means that he phased and ran. I guess that's how the pack's been able to talk with him.

"I'm so sorry for Billy." I told Charlie. "He'll be fine though."

"Bella, how can you act like he's going to be fine? He's missing." He exclaimed.



"Charlie I know Jake better than you do. He's more than capable of taking care of himself." I reminded him. "Also he's keeping in touch with his friends so he has to be ok right."

"True but I can't believe you aren't more worried. He used to be your best friend. I swear Bella ever since Edward came back it's like you're forgetting all your friends."

"Dad, stop." I warned him

"I mean Edward left you broken and Jacob was there to pick up the pieces and put you back together again" He continued.

"Dad, I mean it stop it! I've always been up front with Jake he knew what was going on from the beginning."

"He's such a better match than Edward though. He would never have left if you were with him." He stressed.

"That's it. I've had it. I'm going to be moving in with the Cullen's earlier than anticipated. I'm not going to live here with you degrading my husband." I fumed.

"Bella I didn't mean to upset you. Please don't go." Charlie pleaded.

"It was going to happen sooner or later. I'll have my stuff moved out by the end of the day." I informed him.

"I'm so sorry bells. I'll see you later. I'm going to head to the station." He walked out the door and drove off. I called Edward to ask him if it's ok that I move in earlier.

"Love, are you ok?" He answered. "Alice told me what happened. We are on our way to help you pack." I took a deep breath trying to halt the crying that began.

"With you as my husband how could I not be fine?" I paused "Who all is coming?"

"I love when you call me your husband. It's me, Emmett, and Jasper. We are pulling up now." I ran into Edwards arms and began to break down.

"Shh love it's going to be alright. I'm here. I love you." Edward soothed.

"I just can't believe he was saying that stuff. I can't let him talk about you like that. I won't stand for it." I blubbered. He just kissed my forehead and rubbed my back trying to calm me. Jasper came over and laid a hand on my shoulder which sent a calming wave over me and I stopped crying. I gave him a grateful smile. Edward glanced towards the others and motioned for them to go up stairs and start packing.

"We'll handle everything darling. Let's go so you can tell us what you want." He suggested.



"Where's Alice." I asked not understanding why she wouldn't come.

"She's shopping for you. She didn't think you would want to go but knew you needed a pick me up so by the time we get home she'll probably have a completely new wardrobe for you. Please don't let it upset you though. She's only trying to help." He informed me.

"I know she means well. I love her for it." I said calming down further. He carried me up stairs where the boys already had most of the room packed.

"We packed up everything I hope that's ok." Jasper asked hoping it was.

"That's fine. Leave the furniture. Take the rest." I directed. All the boys grabbed a box and carried it down to the cars. I grabbed my book bag loaded with stuff and another bag in my hands. One more trip by Emmett and Jasper and everything was loaded up. Taking a last look at Charlie's house as we drove away made me realize Edward and my life is starting. I can't wait to spend forever with him.

Driving up to the Cullen..I mean our house I felt soothed knowing that I'm wanted here. We walked in the door and Carlisle and Esme both met me at the door.

"Everything is going to be ok Bella. We are so happy to hear you are going to be staying with us." Esme comforted, hugging me closely and pulling me towards the couch.

"I'll be right back we're going to get all the stuff inside." Edward told Carlisle as his father followed us with his hand on my shoulder.

"Yes, we are very pleased to hear about your trip to Vegas as well." Carlisle said with a smile on his lips. "Now this family is truly complete."

"Thank you both for being so understanding, caring and kind. I love this family so much." I said while breaking down again into Esme's arms. "I'm so glad to be a part of it."

"Bella you'll never believe the amount of stuff I could fit in my Porsche. I was so stuffed." Alice said as she came in the door and took a seat in front of the couch facing me.

"Thank you for not dragging me along. I don't think I could have stood it. Also you didn't have to buy me anything." I confessed giving her a hug.

"Well now that you're a Cullen you have to dress the part." Alice sang. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett came in loaded down with as much as they could carry.

"Geez Alice did you leave anything in the stores." Emmett laughed.

"All essential I assure you. Just for that I may not give your wife what I bought her as a gift for you." Alice stuck out her tongue.



"Aw, I'm sorry. Don't punish Rose for my mistake." He smiled hoping that he would get to see what the gift was.

"Just drop all the bags into my room and I'll put them up." Alice said as she bound up the stairs. All the boys followed and a second later Jasper and Edward took Carlisle and Esme's place beside me. Edward pulled me up into his lap and Jasper held my feet rubbing them as he influenced my mood. I was starting to become happier just as Emmett came down the stairs looking defeated.

"What happened?" I whispered to Edward.

"He isn't going to get to see what Alice bought." He said with a smile.

"I didn't think she would get so mad. Never mess with that girl while she on a shopping buzz." Emmett huffed. I smiled finding someone I could cheer up instead of being sad myself.

"Hey Emmett, wanna watch a movie, your choice?" I cheerfully said. His face lit up and he ran up stairs and came down with 300. "Rose never lets me watch this one."

"Sounds like a good one. Everyone cool with this?" I asked just to be polite knowing they knew what I was trying to do.

"Yeah, you know the Battle of Thermopylae was actually a very strategic move. Leonidas was a great warrior king. You know there was talk or Xerxes' army of "Immortals" being newborns." Jasper instructed us.

"I didn't know that." I replied looking at him with no idea what he was talking about. I haven't seen the movie before and was not much of a history buff in school.

"I would be up for seeing this one if Bella wants to." Edward agreed. Emmett put in the movie, Edward made me some popcorn, and we settled down to watch the movie.

"Are you going to be ok? There are a lot of gory parts in this one." Edward whispered in my ear.

"I'm good as long as I don't have to smell it." I responded.

"You know you've made Emmett's night right." He spoke in between kisses on my neck right below my ear. "Even with how you're feeling you still find a way to cheer others up. You are so selfless."

"It makes me feel better to see him feel better so really I'm just selfish." Then I put my finger up to my lips to signal him to stop talking.

"That was actually very entertaining. I really liked the cinematography." I said once the movie was over. "The colors were fantastic."

"Well you two have fun." Edward said to Emmett and Jasper as he carried me up the stairs to our bedroom.

"Why don't you pick out some comfy clothes and take a warm shower and we'll just lounge in bed all day?" He suggested walking me to the dresser and opening some drawers. It seems during the movie Alice put all the things away. I looked into the closet to find half was Edwards and the other half were all my new clothes Alice bought me.

"Where are my clothes?" I asked looking through everything.

"I think Alice put them in the attic. She figured if they weren't available, you would try on some of the things she bought you." He answered heading out of the room.

"That's just like that pixie. I guess I'll give it a try." I picked out a very pretty pink and white polka dot satin pj set with matching pink lace underwear. I was turning on the shower letting it warm up when I heard a knock on the door.

"May I come in?" Edward whispered just loud enough for me to hear through the door. My heart sped excitedly at the sound of his soft voice.

"You may, as long as you behave yourself." I said undressing quickly before he could come in.

"Wow I can't make any promises but I'll try." He smiled the crooked smile that makes me melt. "Would you like some company?"

"I would love some." I said as I stepped in and shut the shower door.

Within seconds Edward was climbing in. I couldn't help but stare at his ideal body. He backed me into the stream of water. The wall stopped my retreat. Kissing me vigorously, he moved his hands down from my face grazing my breast, down my sides and rested them on my hips. I arched my back and pushed closer to him as he kissed more passionately. Slowly he lifted my legs to wrap around him and gently entered me. We made love tenderly. Afterwards he soothingly washed my body, rinsed me off, and kissed his way as he dried me. I got dressed and brushed my hair and teeth since I hadn't this morning. He picked me up, laid me on our bed and turned on his CD player. A current band was playing.

With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I calls her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?

There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?

Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home

Your tears don't fall, they crash around me

Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home


The moments died, I hear no screaming
The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I calls her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?

There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make it better?

Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home

Would she hear me, if I calls her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?

There's always something different going on
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?

Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty

Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, too guilty to come home

Your tears don't fall...

"That was beautiful. Who was that?" I asked as the song came to an end.

"They are called Bullet for my Valentine. Their lyrics have a lot of similarity to how I feel at times." He said drawing designs on my legs with his fingers. I picked up the bookoff of the lamp table and began reading.

"Which book did you pick?" Edward asked. Although he could simply read it I do love to hear him speak.

"It was something out of Jasper's library."

"Watch out he tends to pick some…unique books." He warned.

"It's called The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Have you read it?"



"I did. That would be one of the more eccentric books in his collection. It's all about a computer who basically made everyone immortal. No one could die. I think that's why Jasper picked it for its similarity to our life. Eventually one woman gets fed up with immortality and decides to rebel against the computer whose name is P.I. (Prime Intellect). It gets a little graphic during death matches and sex scenes but all in all I enjoyed it."

"Interesting." I responded raising my eyebrow slightly.
