A/N: I love you guys, I love the fact I get new reviewers too, not that I don't love my usuals! You all are awesome-a-saurases :)

And my fave song lyric at the mo., is: "'Cause I'm a Gypsy, are you coming with me? I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me." If you haven't guessed, it's Gypsy by Shakira.

And the chappie was inspired by I'd Rather Be With You by Joshua Radin.

Edward POV to start with, something different.

Chapter 7: I'd Rather Be With You

Edward POV

All I could think about was Bella, for months after I saw her, I wandered around Washington like a ghost. Searching for a glimpse of her face, listening for a sign her marriage to... Jacob had turned sour. But it hadn't, I knew nothing, not even if she was okay. I was going to see her one last time, just to check, but Alice beat me to the La Push Borderline. It's been way over a year since I saw her last, but she'll of changed, got older. Of course she was still the same as I saw her, but she seemed happier, more optimistic.

Alice suddenly skipped through the front door, with Jasper right behind her, "Edward," She sang.

"Yes?" I grumbled, I wasn't in the mood for her chirpy mood. She was stood with Jasper now, their hands linked. She needs to tell him, he'll find out sooner or later... "Tell me what, Jasper?" I asked, standing up. He shifted uncomfortabley, "Damn it, Jasper!"

"Okay, okay. Um... Alice and I saw Bella." He whispered.

"What? When?"

"A few months back--"

I had so many questions, "Was she okay, I mean, did she look okay?"

Alice chuckled lightly, "Edward, stop panicking, she looked fine..." She looked away. She wasn't telling me something.

"And?" I pushed.

She sighed, "Well... don't get mad, she's pregnant again."

"What!" I snapped.

"I said don't get mad!" Alice screamed, stepping forward.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Why was I angry? Did I still love Bella? I suddenly felt calm wash over me, but I resisted it. "Jasper, don't." I snarled.

I raced out of the house, and into the forest. They had kept it a secret from me for months, why would they do that? I would of found out eventually anyway, just as Jasper had said. After running a few miles, I sat leant against a tree. Jasper I understood, he's kept things from me before, but Alice wouldn't do this to me. We all knew when we left Alice suffered second most, she loved Bella, they were best friends. They had obviously re-kindled there friendship.

I realized I needed to see Bella again, it was now or never.

Bella POV

After seeing Emmett and Rosalie in the park, I got a bad case of nostalgia. I hadn't seen them in years, and suddenly they just appear back into my life. Jake wasn't happy, in fact he threatened to, and I quote, 'Kill their sorry dead ass's'. But we had to be careful what we said around Josh though, we couldn't say anything to do with vampires around him. He didn't even know Jake was a wolf.

"Bella, I'm going to take Josh down to Emily's, you coming?" He asked.

"Do you mind if I don't?"

"Not at all." He smiled, kissing me. "We won't be back late."

"Love you." I called before he left.

I headed into the kitchen, and got out some cookies and cream ice cream, and sat in the living room. I took the first mouthful, but the doorbell rang, making me groan.

I answered it, and immediately dropped the ice cream.

"Bella." He said, his eyes staring directly into mine.

"E-Edward." I stuttered. "What are you--" I looked away from his eyes.

"I needed to see you," He admitted. He glanced down at the split ice cream at my feet, "This isn't a bad time is it?" He asked, a smile creeping onto his face.

"No, not really... come in, if you want?" I suggested, he nodded and stepped inside.

The nostalgia came back, but also worry. What if Jacob came back? He'd kill Edward, literally, maybe not in front of me or Josh, but he'd do it somehow. He sat on the couch, looking around the living room. He hadn't changed at all. I sat next to him,

"So, I see, uh..." He gestured towards my stomach, which my hands immediately dropped to.

"Yeah... it's twins." I said, rubbing my bump softly.

"Oh." He choked out, "I mean... congratulations." He struggled to say.

"I know you're unhappy with me being with Jacob, you can be up front about it." I told him, he chuckled. "You were at my party last year."

"Sorry for being a party crasher, hope I didn't ruin it." He said.

"No you didn't, questions were asked, though." I told him. "But... you kept my promise." I smiled.

He looked puzzled, "Promise?"

"You said if we ever meet again. We have." I said, the smile appearing again both on my lips and his.

"Oh right." He chuckled, but his expression changed, it was plain, like he'd seen a ghost.

"Edward?"

"Not now." He whispered.

"Wha--"

"You have to get out of here, now!" He ordered.

I was confused. "Why? Edward, tell me what's going on?" I asked.

"Victoria's here."

My heart stopped, and my hands dropped to my stomach. "No." I whispered, feeling a lump in my throat. "Oh no, what about Jake... and Josh?!" I panicked.

"Bella, they'll be fine."

"I need to call him." I muttered, reaching for my phone. I dialled his number quickly, ignoring Edward's orders.

"Hello?" Jake answered.

"Jake, it's Bella, I--"

There was a tapping at the front door, the phone dropped onto the floor as I spun to face it, so did Edward. I could hear Jake speaking through it still. She was here. I was going to die. My babies, they were going to die.

"Don't answer it." Edward said through his teeth. I couldn't move, I was terrified. Edward was at my side, with his arm over my shoulder, my hands were on my stomach.

The door opened slowly, and I automatically moved closer to Edward...

:O! OMG! I forgot about Victoria, until I watched New Moon the other night. I thought I'd add the bit at the end, where Bella and Edward were stood together closely (It looked so damn good in my head), I thought that could signify that they still love each other, no matter what happened.

And the song that goes perfectly at the end is 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' by Snow Patrol.
