"Mind if we join you?" I looked up and saw Demetri and Felix glistening in the sunlight at the top of the hill. Emmett pushed me off of him as I stared at my Romeo.


Chapter 8

Losing Your Baby

"Demetri!" I shouted and I ran over to him, with a big grin on my face. "How did you get here?"

"Well I couldn't wait anymore. I know there's a two day waiting period or something but I had to call you," He smiled.

"Well that rule was stupid anyway. But how does that contribute to you being here? And finding this place?" I asked.

"Well I called your cell phone," He raised up his arm showing my cell numbers still on it, "And your sister answered," He looked over at Ness, as did I, she smiled sheepishly at me, "She told us where to come. We were in the village that's near here, we were um…," He stopped, I knew that he went hunting and I knew that he drank human blood, why couldn't he say this out loud to me?

"Hunting," Felix said, he wasn't afraid to scare me and that was partially the reason I liked him.

"Yeah and so we decided to join you,"

"Yeah," Felix said throwing his shirt over his head, then he took off his jeans tossing them with his shirt.

I wolf whistled, giving him a once over, "Looking good Felix," I giggled.

He ran his hands down his stomach, sighing for great effect, "I know," I rolled my eyes. Ness cocked her head, raising her eyebrows, not understanding our flirting. I would have laughed, but then I heard growls coming from behind me.

I turned around and saw my dad looking furious. He stepped in front of me glaring at Demetri and Felix, who was standing there in his boxers. My mom and the rest of my family were now behind my dad. Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie glaring right along with him; Carlisle and Esme looking concerned and Alice looking like her cheery self not really worried about Demetri. Jacob was on top of the cliff watching, not wanting to get close so he wouldn't hurt Demetri and Felix. I could see that he was shaking, trying to control himself, but he was about to blow. I nodded at Ness who went over to him and tried to calm him.

Demetri and Dad were having a stare down. They were both glaring at each other, like the other had an infectious disease. I wanted to step in but dad, stuck his hand up at me to stop me, not looking away. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Everyone was looking from Demetri to my dad.

"Alright Demetri. I'll give you one chance. You get to take Cori out on one," He held up his finger indicating what he meant, "One date. But it has to be under my supervision. That's all you get. And f you mess up just once, you will never come near her or the rest of my family again. Is that clear?"

Demetri smiled, "Crystal," Then without breaking each others gaze they shook on it.

"Wait don't I get a say in this?" I asked, furious. They both looked at me, as did everyone else.

"No," My dad answered. I don't even want you seeing him, but I know that he'll mess up so I know you won't be.

"You're an arrogant ass," I said, glaring at my father. "Come on Demetri," I grabbed him by the hand and led him off toward the water. My family watched me go. I could see in my dad's mind that Felix glared at him, then took off after us. I took him to the edge of the water, where my bag and towel was.

"I should've had a say in that. This is my life," I said, sitting down on the towel, crossing my arms over my chest like a child throwing a tantrum.

"I know, but let's just let him have his way. It's the only way he'll let us be together," Demetri said softly.

"But it's not fair," I said.

"I know," he said, he leaned in and kissed my temple, which made me feel a little better.

"If you guys are done with all the touchy feely crap can we please go swimming?" Felix asked, impatiently.

I turned around to see him still standing in his boxers, beyond him, my family (minus Jake and Ness, who were at the top of the cliff still) were talking about us. I smiled at him.

"Yeah," I answered. I slipped off my wet jean shorts (Emmett's doing) and watched Demetri strip down to his boxers. His body was just as amazing as it was the night before. His hard rock abs and sexy pecs, his slightly muscular arms glistened in the sunlight. I stared at his amazing body, fantasizing about it.

"Earth to Cori," Felix waved a hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I said very intelligently as I looked up at my new friend.

"You kind of spaced, drooling over my best friend here," He jerked his head in Demetri's direction, who was looking at me with admiration.

I blushed slightly, "No I wasn't,"

"Were too, you can't deny the obvious, it's so…obvious,"

"Whatevs, stay here for a sec," I said, stealing my sister's word. Then I ran up to the top of the cliff. "Hey, you okay if Demetri and Felix come up here?" I asked Jacob.

"As long as they are okay with me, I guess," He said. Oh God I've gone soft for the bloodsuckers.

I looked down at my angel and his accomplice, and motioned for them to come on up. I met them a few feet away from Jacob, "Be nice to Jacob, please. He's like my big brother," I said giving them a puppy dog look.

"We'll behave," Demetri promised, sealing it with a small kiss. "Right Felix?" He looked over his shoulder. Felix looked a little upset, but nodded and got over it.

"Come on I want to jump with you," I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the edge of the cliff. "On three okay?" He nodded, smiling like he knew something that I didn't.

"One,"

"Two," He continued.

"THREE!" Felix yelled in our ears, scaring both of us. I fell forward and brought Demetri down with me. We fell through the misty air then we hit the icy water. I had already been used to it, but I heard Demetri gasp right before his head went under. His hand still in mine, I pulled us to the surface.

"Why didn't you tell me it was ice cold?" Demetri said wiping water off of his face, with his free hand. I giggled.

"Because I wanted to see your reaction," I smiled at him innocently.

He shook his head and dragged me over to the rocks by the waterfall, where Esme and Carlisle had been sitting moments before. Where they had one of their sweet, look into each other's eyes and get lost moment, and where we had one of ours.


EPOV

I watched Felix come up behind Cori and Demetri, who were holding hands, and yell at them. Cori, being her mothers daughter, lost her balance and tripped ahead, falling off the cliff, bringing Demetri with her. I heard her scream from surprise as they fell down. They went underwater and I waited anxiously for them to submerge. Once they did Demetri asked why she hadn't warned him of the cold water, she giggled and answered him. Giggled! Coraline never giggles. We can barely get her to talk. Then they swam off under the waterfall, where you could barely see them. I tried to look around it.

"Relax baby brother," Jasper came up behind me, putting a hand on my shoulder. "It seems like they really like each other. I mean I've never seen Cori like this before. She's in total bliss right now. I don't know why your freaking out so bad. I really don't think he is such a bad guy,"

I looked around for support on my side from the rest of my family, but they had gone back to enjoying themselves. Even the one person I knew would back me up, Bella, was on the cliff now with Jake and Ness.

"He's killed people Jazz," I told him, shaking off his hand.

"I've killed people," He said, thinking about the many people he has killed. I cringed, "You've killed people too. And Emmett and Rose," He shot back.

"Yeah but he tried to kill her," I informed him, remembering the time the Volturi tried to kill all of my family.

"If I remember correctly you tried to kill her," He pointed up to the beautiful creature I call a wife. I growled.

"That was different, I couldn't help it,"

"He was just doing his job,"

"Why are you standing up for him?" I turned to face my brother, giving up trying to watch my daughter.

"Why do you hate him so much? And don't say because he tried to kill us. I think that just because you lost one of your babies, you don't want to lose the other. Guess what? It's going to happen, sooner or later someone is going to sweep her off her feet. But you aren't going to lose her. Your still her dad, she'll love you forever. But if you don't let her go, she just might," He finished I opened my mouth to contradict him, but then closed it again. He then left me to think about what he said. Was I really just afraid of losing my baby girl?

No that couldn't be it.
