Cat's Out of the Bag

Cat's Out of the Bag

Edward POV

"Hey Jake, It's me, Bella….ya, J's here. He's fine. He was pretty shaken. Look, it's Thursday. Give him a day or two with me. I'll drop him off to you on Sunday?...ya thanks. Bye Jake. Tell Quil and Jade not to worry. I got 'em. Ya, bye." Bella hung up the phone and silently walked up to us. We had all began to hold our breath while Bella breathed as steadily as normal. Amazing. She really was something. My Bella.

"Well, I guess cat's out of the bag then, huh? I probably have some explaining to do."

"Ya think?" Emmett had a tendency to be rude even to our beloved Bella.

"Ya thanks, Emmett. I mean I wasn't expecting a warm welcome back, but I didn't think I'd get the cold shoulder."

"I can't believe I can't make her blush anymore. How boring is that gonna be?"

"Ya, and uh, like the fact that vampires and werewolves are supposed to be mortal enemies. Not babysitters, hm?" Alice's curious little eyes caught my gaze, but ignored the clear warning sign. I wanted Bella to tell us. Not us drag it out of Bella. She had doubts about us knowing her. I didn't want that. I loved her. I always would. I'd remember to tell her first thing.
