A few months later

It was almost Christmas and things were great. Edward and Charlie where actually getting along and my therapy was going good ever since I told him about Phil he said we had a major breakthrough and that he thought Edward was good for me. Aro still was trying to work me up to telling about the rape to Charlie and Renee. But, I couldn't I knew he didn't make idle threats and I would never forgive myself if he hurt my mom.
I had been going out with Edward for almost 2 months now and I'm completely in love with him. I hadn't told him yet I was still too scared. On the weekends when Charlie would go fishing he would stay with me but thing s never progressed pass kissing. I think that's what made me fall for him more. He never pushed me even though his body clearly wanted more we took our time. Edward would say how he wanted the physical to be perfect and not rushed. He wanted to give me the first time I never got to have. But he also assured me that he would wait for that indefinitely and that my company alone was enough. He was perfect and he meant so much to me. While I wasn't ready for the full Monty I did want more. However, any time I would try to take it further he would stop me. I told Aro and he said Edward might just be nervous because of my past. He might be afraid to hurt me he said the best way to address it was to talk to him about it. And I intended to.
I had finished all my shopping with Alice and rose Friday I brought Charlie a new fishing tackle box with a fish cleaning kit. I wasn't sure what to get Edward I wanted it to be great and personal. But, I was stuck. Esme suggested I make him something. And I instantly knew what I would do. Esme had become the mother I never had. This place was really starting to feel like home.
School was out and it was the day before Christmas Eve and we decided to exchange our gifts then not in front of our families.
We were in the meadow. "Ok you first" I said handing him a book. He opened it and I could have sworn he was about to cry. Esme had shown me tons and tons of pictures. I stumbled on a lot of them that they inherited after Edwards's mom's death. They were mostly pictures Edward and his mother. His breath hitched as he looked at it, there was a slight tear in his eye. "Thank you love this is the best present I have ever got." he smiled then pulled me in he kissed not pulling away for a few minutes ad our lips danced.
"I love you," he whispered in my ear pulling away. I froze it was the first time he said it out loud.
"I love you too," I smiled, crashing my lips to his once more.
"Your turn," He took out a small box form his pocket, handing it to me.
I opened it and inside was a small necklace it was simple and unique it had there various sized rings connected together that could move and create different shapes.
"The piece represents Two Souls Entwined all elements move independently. Even with changes in our relationship we will remain constant. We may change, as we grow older. But, the connection between us is unwavering. Two souls and their relationship. Moving & changing. Joined together forever."
"Wow Edward it's beautiful I love it, thank you" I kissed him and when we finally broke apart he whispered. "I love you," once more.
The day was perfect we headed back to my house for dinner. After we finished eating Edward was watching the game with Charlie. I was cleaning up when I heard a knock at the door. Charlie got up to answer it. I walked over to see who it was and instantly dropped the glass that was in my hands.
There in the living room stood a very pregnant Renee and the man. I hated most in the world. All of a sudden everything went black and I felt Edwards arms wrap around me catching me as I fell.
