Thanks for the reviews!

Disclaimer: I don't own Breaking Dawn or Renesmee. She's got to be cute, though!

IMPORTANT: I'm redoing chapters 2 through 4, for obvious reasons – I don't like them. There are some minor, ok who are we kidding? Large subplot changes in these chapters, and a big chance that chapter 1 might get a make over. Just bear with me and read through the chapters again, this time no one will be disappointed! These are far superior, I assure you. Enjoy…

Chapter 4 – Bella

I watched as he walked quietly to me, his hair slanting to the side due to the wind. He smiled a little, teeth reflecting the moonlight. I beamed, knowing he was going to kiss me once he stood inches in front of me. He was shirtless, only his washed out jeans covering his smooth body. My heart pounded in my ears, reminding me of my desire to be with him forever. I was impatient, taking a few steps towards him.

"Hey." I said, holding his outstretched hand in mine. He closed the distance between us, holding our bodies together. The clouds, threatening to rain above us, covered the moon.

"Hello." He whispered, smiling his crooked smile. "You look beautiful." I didn't understand what he was talking about until I glanced down at my white silk dress. It kissed the ground lightly, straps threatening to fall off my shoulders. I blushed, feeling the heat all over my face and down my neck.

"Thank you." I managed to say. He pressed his free hand to my heart, closing his eyes. "Edward…" I muttered, twining our fingers together. He peeked at me from under his lashes.

"Yes?"

"I love you." I told him, standing on my tiptoes to press my nose to his. He laughed.

"I love you, Bella" He said. His lips touched mine ever so lightly as the rain began to fall from the sky. Lightning flashed for a second, and the low rumbled of thunder followed. I closed my eyes, allowing him to lift me so he wouldn't have to bend down, causing our kiss to take a much more passionate turn. He broke it, letting me gulp in air as he trailed his mouth down to my neck. I flung my head back, feeling the water on my face.

"Edward." I inhaled, snaking my arms around his neck. He kissed my neck, his cold lips parting. "What are you doing?" I giggled, feeling his breath brush across my skin.

"You smell so good." He sighed. I felt my dress become soaked, sticking to my flesh and his. He kissed my neck again, this time harder then before. A groan escaped from his throat as a sharp pain sliced through my skin.

"Edward! What are you doing? Stop!" I shouted, trying to push him away. The pain was excruciating. He moaned again, holding me tighter to him. "Stop!" His nail dug into my back, sending shocks of pain pulsing through my veins.

"Gah!" I gasped, holding tightly to him, "Edward…" I chocked. I caught something out of the corner of my eye. The figure of a woman? She was leaning on a tree, her black hair brushing across her face. The lighting flashed again, the thunder loud and frightening. He sucked harder; the tingling sensation flowed throughout my body. "EDWARD!" I screamed.

The scene was different, as I was sitting up in bed, the morning light not quiet there. I gasped for air, frantically grabbing the sheets for that one person I needed to know was really with me. I found a cool spot in the sheets, a leg?

He sat up, grabbing my hand. I held his in mine, kissing it and pressing it to my cheek.

"Bella? What's the matter?" He asked me. So what happened last night wasn't a part of the dream? I looked at him; his eyes were black, with deep bags under them. Lips pursed, brows crunched together, he must have been worried! Oh, but he was still glorious! I crawled into his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck, crushing my lips to his. He gently pulled my face away.

"Are you ok?" Edward asked, his beautiful voice ringing. I nodded quickly, although I wasn't really.

"You're still here!"

"Yes, I am…?" He seemed utterly confused.

"You're really still here." I whispered, tracing the lines of his face lightly with my finger. "You're really still with me."

"I am, Bella." He said softly, placing his thumb on my bottom lip. He rubbed it lightly, sending shivers down my spine.

"Edward!" I laughed at him, placing both my hands on his cheeks. "You are seriously here, in my bedroom? Seriously in Forks, Washington with me?" He nodded, leaning towards me, kissing me tenderly. I leaned on him, sending us flying back onto the pillows, allowing his hands to venture down my sides. The kiss was entirely oxygen sucking, sadly I had to break it. I pulled back, just an inch, to breathe.

"You never told me why you screamed." He said. I sighed.

"I had a nightmare." I stated simply.

"What kind of nightmare, love?"

"Just one I've had for a couple nights, that's all." I told him, leaning on his snowy lips. I straddled him, pressing most of my weight into his body. I felt his lips open under mine, and followed his lead. I peeked to see what his expression held, it wasn't blank, although he had his eyes closed, and his mouth moved with mine. I shut my eyes quickly, letting the flame under my skin smolder all the way down to my toes. He pushed my face away.

"You're not getting off the hook that easily." He stated simply.

"What?" I asked him.

"Why in the name of all that is holy would you even think of jumping off a cliff?"

"I thought you weren't coming back. I couldn't take living without you anymore…" I whispered guiltily. He sighed shaking his head.

"I was looking for Victoria in Rio, Bella. I was going to come back and get you as soon as I possibly could." He caressed my cheek lightly.

"I need to have you with me, Edward." I told him, crushing our lips together.

"Looks like someone missed you!" I heard a booming voice, followed by loud guffaws after the moment of bliss. My eyes opened as Edward's did. He pushed me off quickly, sitting up. I wondered how Edward hadn't noticed someone enter my room?

"Emmett." Edward growled. I become aware of the large vampire sitting in my chair across the room. He looked the same, as if he never left as well. A smirk sat perfectly on his lips.

"Good morning, Bella." Emmett laughed, trailing his eyes up and down my body. Edward hissed.

"Please, keep your thoughts to yourself." He put his head in his hands. "Yes, I'll go hunting today." My eyes became wide.

"You're leaving me?" I whispered. Emmett's laughter filled my silent room.

"Just for the day. I promise I'll be back by tonight." He smiled, taking my hand. I nodded.

"I'll be down in the jeep. Jasper is coming, too." Emmett said getting up. He walked over to my window, taking another look at me. I waved sheepishly causing him to laugh again. He jumped out the window then, disappearing. Edward shook his head, rolling his eyes.

"It will bother me all day if you don't tell me what you dreamt about." I sighed at him, playing with his fingers, careful not to make eye contact.

"I've been having nightmares about…us. You know, we'll be kissing or something and then," I sucked in a deep breath. "You'll bite me. Or you'll leave me for this beautiful woman and then bite me. It's just silly, really. Like that would actually happen." I tried to play it off, feeling the blush creep up again.

"I see. Well, you're right, it won't ever happen. Don't worry about it, my love." He took his finger, gently pulling my face up by my chin. I felt the tears burn my eyes. "Don't cry." He whispered, brushing his lips to catch the tears.

"Alright."

"I'll see you tonight." Edward said, getting out of my bed. The anxiety washed through me, what if he wasn't coming back? This was the perfect time for his escape!

"No!" I cried, crawling out of bed, and wrapping my arms around his waist. I pressed my cheek to his chest. "Please…no. Don't…don't leave me." He placed his arms around me.

"Bella, I have to hunt. You know I don't want to leave you."

"Then don't." I muttered. He laughed.

"You have to go to school today, anyway. I'll be there with you tomorrow, don't worry about it." I leaned away so I could look at him. He really did need to hunt. I let out a breath of defeat.

"I'll be waiting for you." I told him. He placed a hand on my cheek.

"I love you." He told me, leaning down to kiss me.

"HURRY UP!" Emmett growled from the jeep. Edward chuckled, still holding our lips together. I pulled back.

"The quicker you go the faster you'll be back." I sang to him. He nodded, pecking my lips again before jumping out my window. I stuck my head out the window watching as the blur of a body crossed the lawn and opened the jeep door. They honked twice before pulling out and heading away.

"He'll be back." I reminded myself, turning around to look at the clock. It was time to get ready for school. I rushed to make the messy bed, and flung myself towards my closet. Edward liked me in blue, so I was going to wear blue! I grabbed my khaki pants and blue button up, throwing them on quickly and rushing to the bathroom.

I brushed through my hair, allowing the straightness to come naturally before going to the kitchen. It didn't feel real to me. Not in the slightest bit. It was like he was never gone, never away from me. Like my life was put on hold, frozen in time. I downed the cereal before the phone rang. I picked it up quickly.

"Hello?"

"Bella?" Charlie's voice asked.

"Yes?"

"Just making sure everything was ok. I won't be home until around 9, so don't make a big dinner. Some sort of animal broke into Garry Martin's house down by La Push. Figured I'd help." He informed me.

"Alright, Dad. See you tonight." I hung up, looking out the window at the grey sky. Edward was back. The Cullens were back! Which meant that he wasn't going to leave me, right? I smiled to myself, that had to be true.

School was very boring, and seemed to drag on and on. I guess that they weren't coming back until tomorrow, due to the fact that Alice didn't attend. Better to hunt before sending themselves to school! I watched the clock in every class, wishing it would go faster. I wanted to see him again. I wanted to hold him to me, to kiss him, to hug him. I wanted to feel his presence all around me.

What if he hadn't been there to catch me in time, like Alice saw? In death I would have tried to kick myself. What a stupid decision! At the time, though, it seemed right. To just end the horrible pain that I no longer felt. I had missed him so much, and maybe by some strange chance he missed me, too. I couldn't wait to see him, though! Finally when the day was done, I rushed out to my truck in the light rain. I fiddled through my purse searching for the keys.

"Hey Bella!" Mike called from in front of me. He was leaning on the hood of the truck, waiting, I suppose.

"Hi Mike." I said, forcing myself to smile.

"You look really nice today. I haven't seen you like this since the Cullens left." He was twirling something around his finger.

"Thanks." I said, standing in front of my door, still looking for the keys.

"Oh, you dropped these at lunch." He smiled, handing me the toy he'd been playing with. It was my keys!

"Oh!" I gasped taking them. "Thanks so much, Mike! I was about to freak out." Quickly unlocking the car I got in. He grabbed my door before it closed.

"Are you doing anything tonight?" He asked. I nodded.

"I'm having a friend over."

"Do you mind if I ask who?" Might as well tell him now, before he freaked out tomorrow.

"Edward Cullen is back, so he's coming over for dinner." I said quickly, starting the truck. It startled him a little, but I was used to it. He seemed a touch taken back by what I'd said, though.

"O-o-ok. I'll see you…tomorrow then." Mike stuttered. I smiled, closing my door, and pulling out of the spot. I quickly drove out of the parking lot and headed home. That was weird. Why would Mike want me to hang out with him tonight? I tried not to focus on that though. Edward was back and that pleased me. Mike would just have to deal with it.

I sighed happily, pulling into the driveway. I cut the engine, watching the rain become heavier. Giggles tickled my throat as I watched a couple dear pass through the back yard. They looked over at me suddenly and ran off into the trees.

"That's cute." I said to myself, pulling my hood up and getting out of the car. The rain poured from the sky like someone tipped a pitcher. The happiness I held inside me exploded, causing me to drop my things and fling my hood off. I smiled, giggling to myself, spinning around letting the rain soak me.

"Someone's happy." I heard a husky voice say. I turned around to see Jacob standing by the back of my truck. He looked pleased with himself, a smile trying to pull up at the corners of his mouth.

"Hi, Jacob." I said, putting my hand on my heart – which was pounding from the slight scare. "You kinda scared me there." I laughed nervously.

"Sorry about that, you just seemed totally zoned. I figured I'd pull you out of it for a second." He commented, rustling his wet hair. I nodded, picking my things up.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, pulling my hood onto my head.

"I wanted to see how you were doing. You seemed really angry with me on Saturday. I tried to come by on Sunday but you weren't here. You ok?" He asked. I nodded quickly.

"I'm great." I said. He arched an eyebrow. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" He shook his head, walking towards me. He was taller again, I'd say pushing 6 foot 4. I looked up at him, watching his eyes search my expression.

"Are you on drugs?"

"What?"

"You're too happy…"

"I can't be happy?" I asked, flabbergasted.

"I'm not saying that. It's just I haven't seen that smile on you in a while. Since, well, Edward was here." He clutched his fists, saying Edward's name through his teeth.

"There's a reason for that." I said quietly. I wouldn't look him in the eye as I was trying not to smile at the thought of my Edward back. When I did look up, I saw that Jake's eyes became wide, like he understood what I was saying. He began trembling.

"He's back?" He asked, almost shouting. I backed up a touch.

"Yes. The Cullens are back, Jacob. What's the matter with that?"

"The leeches are in Forks! And you just took him back? After all he did to you? He, what, said he loved you, kissed you, and magically it makes everything ok?" He asked me, growling. I bit my lip, watching my werewolf friend undergo thousands of tremors. "ANSWER ME!" He yelled. I nodded.

"Yes! Yes I took him back, yes he said he loved me and he kissed me, because he does love me. He stopped me from killing myself, Jake! He saved my life because he loves me!" I said. Jake came closer to me, grabbing my arms. His grip was hot and strong. It hurt a little. "Jake, calm down!" I shouted. He shook his head.

"You're an idiot, Bella! I have to get you away from here, away from that bloodsucker! That foolish, stupid, parasite." He scooped me up in his arms, taking me quickly to his car.

"No! Jacob Black you put me down, now!" I said, pushing myself away from him. It was like pushing a boulder. He didn't budge, opening the passenger door of his Rabbit, setting me in.

"Don't move." He said, closing the door and crossing to the other side. He had locked the car, giving me some trouble with trying to escape. I tried to pull up the little lock, but he was in the car then. "You are an idiot." He told me. I looked at him, my mouth gapping.

"I'm the idiot? Oh, yeah. I'm so the idiot. You're the idiot because you're kidnapping me!" I said, still struggling with the lock. I finally got it when we were minutes from the house. I opened the door, flinging myself outward.

When you hit the ground, roll! I recalled from the movie First Knight. I did, rolling towards the trees. I heard Jacob roar in anger as my arm smashed against a tree trunk. I sat up quickly, inspecting the damage. Just a few cuts, nothing really big. I got up, stumbling forward and falling again. I tried to get up a touch more graceful, running towards the house. I didn't make it, though as the giant wolf pounced on me.

"Ah!" I screamed, my body crashing into the ground. "Jacob!" He barked at me. "Get off, Jake!" His head jerked to the side, a growl rumbling from his belly. I looked, too. There wasn't anything for a second.

Edward emerged from the trees, followed by Emmett and Jasper. All three boys were grouched down in offensive positions, hisses breaking from their lips. "Oh thank goodness, Edward." I smiled. His eyes touched my face for a second; his expression worried, and then back to Jacob.

"Get off of Bella." I heard Emmett growl. Jacob turned his body to stand in front of me, his legs ready to pounce. Edward cringed at something, like he's been slapped in the face.

"What's the matter with him?" I asked, sitting up. I got to my feet, walking hurriedly past Jake who made a throaty sound like he was laughing. Edward closed his eyes tightly. "Edward?" I asked, reaching him, placing my lips on his. I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my cheek on his chest. "Jacob, stop it!" I ordered.

"It's ok, Bella." Edward whispered to me, scooping me up in his arms. "I won't let her go, mutt. Not unless she wishes it." Jake snorted.

"I don't ever want you to let me go, Edward. You saw what happened the last time." I giggled lightly. He glared at me. I wondered it I should be putting my foot in my mouth… Jacob growled, springing forward. Edward thrust me behind him, crouching down. Emmett clashed with Jacob, Jasper focused on something intently.

"Don't hurt him, please!" I said. Edward shook his head.

"Emmett's not planning on it." He commented. I watched as my vampire friend fought to contain my werewolf. "That's enough, Emmett, he's giving up." Emmett laughed loudly, returning to Edward's side. Jake shook his fur off, changing back to his human self.

"You think you have her now, Edward. You just wait. I will get her back." He promised, covering his naked self. I clung to Edward's back, kissing his shoulder blade.

"Who's he talking about?" I asked. Edward shot me one of those glances.

"You can do what you want, dog. But it won't work." Edward said, his tone icy and hard. One I wasn't used to. Jacob laughed again, walking to his car.

"We'll see." He yelled back at us before zooming off.

"Nothing like naked werewolves in the afternoon." Jasper said, causing Emmett's chorus of loud guffaws.

"I can't leave you alone for one moment can I?" Edward asked, facing me now. I shook my head, a smile pulling up at the corners of my mouth. "Don't you worry about anything he might do. It won't ever change the way I feel about you." His tone of grave and wary.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, completely puzzled. The rain started to lighten up, his hair matted to his forehead. I brushed it away, looking into his golden eyes. He did indeed look much better then this morning. The purple bruises were gone, replaced by a slight flush in his cheeks.

"Just know that you are my life, and I love you." He smiled his crooked smile, kissing me. I tried to pull away, but his hands held me there. There was no urgency to the kiss, so he wasn't leaving me was he? I tried to shake it off but his words replayed in my head.

Don't you worry about anything he might do. It won't ever change the way I feel about you. Just know that you are my life, and I love you…

This one didn't need a lot of changing either, because I liked it, a touch. Ha, well review and there shall be more!
