Here you all go, again I apologize for the vampire crying thing. Anyway I hope you all enjoy this chapter and Review!!


Celeste's POV

I still felt weak from the past day's episode, and because Carlisle felt it was best I was forced to stay in bed until he said I was well enough to leave it. Edward stayed with me, every moment of the day. It felt like he was sewn to my right side. He didn't want to leave, even if Esme asked him to do something he responded with, "Can't you have Alice or one of the others do it? I want to keep Celeste in my sight always."

I felt like a burden to this family but at the same time I felt a part of this family. Never had I been so cared for in my life, pampered almost. Edward practically waited on me hand and foot. It actually made me feel worse rather then better. I was causing his family all this grief and yet they felt so obligated to take care of me.

Eventually I just got fed up with the special treatment and decided that it was time to get back on me feet, so to speak. I got out of bed and made my way to the door leading to what I presumed to be the hallway downstairs. As I walked out into the hallway I noticed that the carpet that had once been there was gone.

I blushed, it must have been stained beyond repair…I would have to make that up to Carlisle and his wife. I placed my hand on the railing and walked downstairs carefully, seeing as my balance was still a little off I walked as slowly as possible. I could hear the sound of the television set and walked into the living room to find Edward's other siblings to be watching TV. The one Edward referred to as Alice seemed to be the friendliest looking of the bunch. She had a pixie style hair cut and as she watched, NCIS, I noticed there was a small polite smile on her lips.

She turned her head suddenly and our eyes interlocked.

"Celeste!" she said happily. "I thought Edward would never let you out of the room."

I smiled slightly at her.

"Um…well…I thought it would be nice to come out for a bit…if that's okay…"

"Of course it's okay!" she laughed joyfully. "Do you want to come and sit with us?"

Before I could even answer Alice pulled me over to the couch and had met sit right next to another one of her brothers. I looked at him, at first he appeared to look constricted, like he was having a stroke or something; but then he relaxed and smiled to me as well.

"Sorry about that," he said calmly, "I'm Jasper."

He held out his hand for me to shake, I did so and assumed that he didn't need to hear my name.

"How are you feeling?" he asked looking at me.

"Um…okay…still a little tired but other then that fine."

He nodded.

"Good, we're glad you are feeling better."

Alice nodded enthusiastically.

"Really glad! Now I have another girl to talk to besides Rosie."

"Rosie?" I asked.

"She means Rosalie, don't call her Rosie." Jasper said gently patting my shoulder. "She can't stand being called Rosie."

"Oh, okay." I said heading his warning.

I sat back just in times to see Gibs slap one of his staff members, as I was about to fully relax another family member came in.

I sat up straight…this one was very muscular and big.

"Hey! How's the infidel?!" he asked flopping onto the sofa.

He was so muscular that I almost flew into the ceiling.

"Well, I don't think she'll be running any marathons anytime soon, but she's still alive and breathing!" Alice said winking at me.

"Oh, that's cool!" he said casually. "I'm Emmett; I thought I'd introduce myself seeing as Edward didn't."

I smiled and shook his hand like I had just done with Jasper. This had to be the nicest family I had ever met; they were so happy and got along so well. It was really nice to be away from all the pettiness of my household. It was like a breath of fresh air, considering how suffocated I had been for so long.

"So do you like the house?" he asked suddenly.

I looked around; it was actually a very nice home. Not at all like mine, which was always drafty and smelled like death and cold.

"Um…yeah, it's really nice."

I blushed feeling like that had to be the lamest response I could ever give.

"See; short, sweet and to the point! I knew I would like this girl."

Emmett put his feet on the coffee table and placed his hands behind his head. Alice tossed a pillow at his head which caused Emmett to fly back taking the whole couch and the lot of us with him.

"HAHA!" he laughed standing up and tossing it back at her.

"You know you shouldn't have your feet on the coffee table." Alice said sitting back in her recliner.

I lay on my back facing the ceiling, at first I didn't know how to react. Angry…or happy…angry or happy. Normally such a thing would send me into a frenzy but right now that was actually fun.

I folded my hands over my stomach and just sat there, I never really noticed how captivating a ceiling could be, and the view only improved when Edward's face appeared in front of my eyes.

"Having fun?" he asked with a chuckle.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of me.

"Yep." I said simply.

And then I kissed him, come to think of it this seemed like the first time I actually kissed him. He was usually the one that kissed me, and it was usually when I was in mid sentence or very angry. We didn't let go over each other's lips until I noticed that Emmett was watching us. He had his head leaning on his arm and it seemed that we were the newest soap opera.

I pulled away and pursed my lips, turning crimson again.

"No, please continue," Emmett laughed. "Just act like we aren't even here."

Edward grabbed a pillow from the sofa and through it, Emmett however dodged it and it flew right into the wall. The smack was so loud that when I looked I could see fine spidery web like cracks appear in the stone.

"Nice Edward!" Emmett laughed.

I stood up and went over to the wall, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I could probably fix it very simply. I held my hand over the damaged plaster and stood for a moment. I hoped that this time when I casted magic it would work. I sighed and felt as the wall became very smooth; it was starting to mend itself.

"Celeste!"

I turned to see Carlisle standing there. He rushed over to me and shoved a tissue under my nose, when he pulled away I noticed that blood was streaming out of me like a fountain. Quickly Carlisle rushed me away and into the downstairs bathroom. He picked me up as if I weighed nothing, put me on the sinks counter top, and held a tissue under my nose firmly.

"What were you thinking Celeste?" he asked sternly and yet his tone was surprisingly warm. "Your magic has only just returned, you need to wait to use it."

He pulled away the tissue and pushed another one underneath my nose.

"How doesn't dis boder you?" I asked hearing how stuffed up I sounded.

"I have learned to live with the blood; I am a doctor after all."

"Oh," I said holding onto his arm. "Sorry…I'd dought I could hadle dit. I dean…it dwas just a dimple fixing," he pulled the tissue away and I sighed with relief, "charm."

Carlisle nodded and shoved another one under my nose.

"Well, on a similar note thank you for fixing the wall. It was very kind of you to do that."

"Carlisle." I said suddenly remembering about the carpet.

"Hmm?"

"I'b sorry about da carpet…I'll replace it…I probise."

Carlisle shook his head as if he wasn't going to hear such nonsense.

"The carpet can easily be replaced; you have nothing to worry about."

He pulled away another tissue and when it seemed that the bleeding had completely stopped he through all of them into the toilet and flushed them away.

I crinkled up my nose and breathed through my mouth. I didn't really enjoy that metallic scent.

"There we go, that should do it."

"Thank you."

Carlisle smiled and handed me a damp wash cloth, I turned to the mirror and wiped away at the pink stains.

"Do you think Edward is okay?"

Carlisle took the wash cloth and threw it into the trash can.

"He should be fine; your blood doesn't tempt him like Bella's did. Now don't get me wrong, your scent is captivating but Edward just doesn't feel thirsty around you."

I couldn't help but smile, I was extremely happy that Edward didn't feel the need to kill me or drink my blood. But it didn't really explain why he was so attracted to me then. I mean, was it just love or his curiosity?

"Thanks again Carlisle."

I hopped down from off the sink and went back out into the living room.

"Hey," Edward put his arm around me and led me back to the sofa, "you okay?"

I nodded and sat on the couch with him again.

"Are you okay?" I asked looking up at him.

"Sure." She said smiling.

"Are you sure?" I prodded.

"I wouldn't lie to you Celeste."

I nodded, somehow I felt better about everything.

"So, is there anything you would like to eat? You haven't eaten since you came here."

I cocked my head to the sighed and looked at him questioningly.

"You have food here?"

"Esme went shopping because you came."

"Oh," I said looking down, "I'm sorry you wasted your money on me."

He placed an icy finger on my chin and pulled my head up to face him. Then with the most gentle touch he kissed me.

"It was no trouble at all, what are you hungry for?"

I followed him into the kitchen and to the fridge, he opened both the doors and stood aside. On the shelves were tons of fruits and vegatables along with several other pounds of beef and chicken. How much did Edward think I ate?

"Umm…do you have anything a little bit mores simple…like soup? I don't think my stomach can handle all of this-"

"Oh…so once again we waste our time shopping on someone who isn't hungry?"

I turned to find a blond standing in front of me. Oh great, so not only did I have to deal with blond snobs at school, I had to deal with them when I was at home too.

Fan-bloody-tastic.

"Rosalie, be polite, she is our guest."Edward warned.

"Our guest…please…Bella was only supposed to be our guest and look what happened with her." Rosalie said pointedly. "You know it suprises me Edward, I'm surprised you could move on so fast, but I suppose every boy needs a rebound chick-"

Before Rosalie could say anymore I pushed my hand forward making her fly into the living room. I instantly regretted it when I felt my legs gave way….that was way too much magic at once.

"Wow." I said slumping down to my knees.

"Celeste," Edward helped me back to my feet, "she wasn't worth it."

"I'm…I'm no rebound chick…right Edward?"

At first I did not receive an answer, which only aggravated and angered me more.

"Right Edward?" I spat.

"Right, Celeste, I do love you."

"Then why didn't you say that?!" I spat.

"I didn't hear you at first Celeste," he said lifting me up.

"Edward, what was Bella like?"

Edward sighed pained, but I didn't care. I was giving up my life for him, and I didn't want to sound rude but that was a very big deal! If he was going to change his mind and run back to Bella…I was going to be dead.

"She was a very nice girl…but she was also very reckless."

"You were probably the one who made her that way." I said as he and I sat on the couch.

"Really, and what makes you say that?"

I sat up and scooted over until I was sitting on his lap.

"Because you are compelling me to make the one sacrifice I would never make for anyone else."

Edward smiled at me and squeezed me very close to his chest.

"Thank you." He whispered.

"I didn't do anything."

"You gave me a chance."

"This will be your only one Edward...because this is the only life I have."
