Well, it's been quite a while hasn't it? I apologize profusely for my absence, and if you'd like to know as to why I was short on updates click back to the previous chapter and read my author's note. We left off at the Whitlock's house, about to have a nice lunch with all of our friends. Alice and Jasper have made up, Bella is acting oddly around Edward, and Rosalie is about to invite Emmett over to join them. This has all occurred after the incident in the supermarket. So, here we go!

"Here comes the rain again. Falling on my head like a memory. Falling on my head like a new emotion. I want to walk in the open wind. I want to talk like lovers do. I want to dive into your ocean. Is it raining with you?"

-Here Comes The Rain Again, Hypnogaja

"Bella, are you really alright?" Alice frowned, leading me away from the couch

"I'm fine, Ali. I guess Edward just scared me."

"Well, what do you mean?" she asked, handing me a stack of plates from the cabinet

"I've never seen him that angry before. And he got so riled up, and he looked like he wanted to kill Jasper. It just made me think, you know? What if something happened one day that made him upset? Something that I did. What if he got so angry that he did snap and hurt me? There's no guarantee that he can prevent it."

"Edward would never. No matter how much you did something that upset him or hurt him, he loves you, and he would never bring you any pain."

"Haven't you ever done something that really upset Jasper? That just looking at his face nearly scared you to death?"

"Yes." She murmured, "But he never hurt me or yelled at me. We had a rational discussion and we worked everything out. Sure, we get into fights and there's yelling and such, but if you love each other, you're never really going to hurt each other, Bells."

"Oh, Ali." I sniffed, throwing my arms around her, "I'm so scared. I thought that I was in love with Jake, and now everything is moving so freaking fast, and it's really scaring me."

"Bella, Edward has been in your life for forever. You've loved each other all your lives. Maybe not in the same way. It started as friends and now it's bloomed into a beautiful relationship, but you love each other. You always have, and you're not moving too fast. Edward didn't show up at your doorstep and whisk you away to Vegas, right?"

"No, but he admitted that he's always loved me, and he kissed me like no one's ever kissed me before, Alice. And at the time it was wonderful, but now to see how angry he can get, how easily he could hurt me."

"It's going to be a tough ride, Bella, but you love each other and you need to trust him. You know you love him."

"You're right, Alice."

"Of course I am, I learnt how to always be the right one from Jazz." She giggled, "Come on, let's get some food on our plates before Emmett gets here."

"Bella, I…

"Edward, I'm sorry." I laughed, hugging him tightly

"You're sorry?" he chuckled, "I thought that you were mad at me?"

"Not quite mad, just sort of scared."

"Well, I did come towards you with a raging fist, Bella."

"And it's just because you were trying to protect your sister. I know. It's okay. That's why I'm sorry, and I just wanted to tell you that I love you, and I'm lucky to have you."

"I think I'm the lucky one." He smirked, kissing my forehead

"So, what's this I hear about Eddykins punching little Bella in the face?" Emmett boomed, slamming the door behind him, "A little grocery store romance, Jazz?"

"Sit down, you pig." Rosalie laughed, handing him a plate, "Everything's all worked out now. He ran into Maria at the supermarket. One of our best friends from when we lived in Texas. Jasper gave her his number so that we could all catch up. She's really get along well with Alice."

"I'd love to meet her." Alice smiled, grabbing one of the cartons from the middle of the table, "Ouch, Jay." She hissed clutching her stomach

"He kicking you again?" Jasper frowned, rubbing her stomach and getting the carton for her

"Jay?" Rosalie smirked, "Do we have a little Jasper junior in there?"

"No, we don't. We don't need another Jasper. It's bad enough with your dad there in the same room as Jazz for Christmas. I've just taken to calling this little one Jay, and he has been named, but that's not going to be shared with you guys. However we do have a little announcement for you, that I guess we could share now."

"It was a really tough decision, you guys, but Ali and I decided on Jay's godparents."

"Em, Rose? We would love it if you two could be Jay's godparents."

"Us?" Rosalie breathed

"Yeah, man. I know we're cool and all now, but you don't want Eddy and Bells to watch over your kid? They're a more mature couple and whatever." Emmett blurted

"No, Em. We want you and Rose. We love Edward and Bella, but Rosalie, we know how much you want a baby, and even if you're not ready for one of your own yet, I know that you'll be a great mother. To our son too. And Emmett, Jasper's not really much of a football player. He needs a dad-like figure to be rough and tumble with him. And with Jazz going back to work full time, he's going to need another guy in his life as he grows up." Alice explained, "I hope you two don't mind." She said, turning to Edward and myself

"Of course we don't. I mean he's still going to be our little nephew, Ali." Edward chuckled

Nephew?

Did he mean?

Rosalie shot me a look and I shrugged. I had no idea why the hell that had come out of his mouth. I mean, even if I wasn't dating Edward, Alice considered me her sister, so technically I would be Jay's aunt, but not by blood or marriage. Edward could have meant that either way. But which way was that? Did he mean that we would both be in the baby's life anyway, or that he wanted to marry me and actually make me his aunt?

My heart started racing, and I pulled back my chair and headed to the bathroom, my mind in a fog.

"Bella?" I heard someone call, but I couldn't place who the voice belonged to

I couldn't tell if I needed a splash of cold water in my face, a slap in the face, or a long walk.

I settled for leaning over the sink and gasping for breath as I splashed the ice cold water against my face.

"Oh, no." someone sighed, turning off the faucet, blotting my face dry with a hand towel, "Bella, are you alright?"

"Wha-what did he mean?" I panted, clawing the edge of the sink

I looked into the mirror and was able to make out strands of blonde hair and some lipstick. Rosalie.

"I don't know anything more than you do, Bella. He started to come in here, he thought that you got sick or something. He didn't realize what he said. I saw your face though, and I made sure that I beat him here. I think Alice caught his slip too. If he'd told Emmett anything about your relationship, he would have shared it with me, and then I with you, and I'm sure the same goes with Jasper and Alice."

"I don't know anymore, Rose. I just feel like this is going so fast, and we're living together, and when this happened with Jake, everything started to go downhill, and Alice had me convinced that it's all going to work out but-

I was nauseous and I was rambling, spilling all of my feelings and thoughts to Rosalie, but more for the sake of hearing them out loud to see if they sounded any more sane outside of my head, but all I could hear were Edward's words from before and they scared me. Before I could place what was going on, my head was over the toilet, and Rosalie was holding back my hair with her hands telling me that everything was going to be alright.

Dun dun dun. Please review! I get out of school Wednesday, which means lots of summer updates!
