Chapter 9

As the first shot ripped through the window everyone in the room ducked for cover. A bullet sliced into a lamp shattering it beside the couch. Several shots were let off in the house before they could hear the squeal of tires and the sound of a crash. After a few seconds later I could hear muffled voices and yells. Then another round of shots were being let off. It sounded like world war 3 was going on in my front lawn.

I had never been as scared in my life as I was now.

After several minutes the shooting stopped and I could see police lights flashing through the windows.

I looked around to make sure everyone was okay, and didn't see any blood. The twins were both crying hysterically in their parents arms but didn't seem to be injured. And Christian was upstairs in my bedroom asleep, Edward was already halfway up the stairs to check on him.

There was a knock on the door and the call of "Police! Is everyone ok can you open the door." Jasper was the closest to the door got up to open it and let the officers in. They came in with their guns pulled but lowered to the ground. There were two uniformed officers and an officer in a suit. I recognized him from the hospital last night, Detective Dimitri Volturi. He motioned for us to stay where we where and the other officers began to check to house.

"Edward is upstairs with his son" I called out. I didn't want them to spook him or accidentally shoot him if he surprised them.

"What is going on, was that Irina?" Carlisle asked still holding a shaking Esme.

"Yes I pulled up on the suspect shooting at the house. I was already en route here as Mr. Masen called and informed me that he had info on the attempt on Ms Swan's life." Oh that explained how he was here so quickly. "The other officers responded to my call for backup."

"What are you looking for?" Alice piped in "Did she get away?"

"I'm afraid so she ran into the back yard and jumped the fence, two officers are in pursuit. These two officers are making sure the house is secure just in case she wasn't alone."

He put his gun in the holster on his hip and asked was everyone alright. Edward came downstairs with Christian and an officer in tow. I rushed over and snatched him from Edward, the little rascal was still sleeping. I almost laughed aloud like father like son Edward slept like the dead.

"Hello Detective did I hear you say she got away?" Edward was all business.

"Yes she did but officers were in pursuit of suspect and reinforcements have been called in. She fired at police officers and she has a semi automatic weapon so she is priority. There is a very clear picture of her on my car cam so we will have that on the news tonight. I assume the information you have on this case has something to do with all of this." He looked around at the damage the shooter had caused it wasn't much and it could have been much worse.

"Yes, the shooter was my ex-wife's sister, she is clinically insane and has been stalking me and the family." Edward gathered the photos off the floor and handed them to Dimitri. I asked Alice to remove the lasagna before it burned and place the bread in the oven. I wasn't quite ready to give up Christian yet.

Edward relayed him the story that Tanya told him and gave him her contact info so she could ID Irina in the video. Dimitri then placed a uniform car in front of the house and instructed us to be careful until they found her. He took every ones statement of the events and bid us goodnight.

Emmett checked all the doors and windows and went into the garage to board up the two that were shot out until they could be replaced. Esme started setting the table everyone was so quiet that it was making me nervous.

"We can pick up the cars tomorrow and take them to get tags afterwards. The repair shop agreed to take all of the cars through the emissions testing for me so if anything needed fixing they would already have possession of the car. Oh and then you can take me to chevy so I can pick me a car." I was rambling but I needed to talk before I started to cry. "What color do you think I should get?" my voice cracked and Esme took Christian from me. Edward came over and pulled me in a hug to his chest and the dam broke. He just rubbed my hair as I cried and got it all out.

Yesterday I was in an accident that could have very well killed me. I'm under no illusion about that. The size of my dad's truck probably saved my life, Navigators were really big, and it kept me from being crushed. Today the same psycho path open fired on my house. A house filled with children and people I had grown to love. It was surreal and I was cracking dealing with the harshness of it all. By the time I calmed down everyone was eating and having general conversation.

I knew my face was a red blotchy mess but no one acknowledge my little come undone and I was grateful. We went about filling our plates and eating before the necessary conversation took place.

Carlisle initiated the conversation assuming the role of leader. "So we need to get our schedules together and compare them. We all need to check in regularly with someone to let everyone know you are ok. School and work is a given but other than that we shouldn't be alone. That goes for the guys as well she has a gun and that can make the weakest person formidable. Hopefully the police will catch her soon but until then we need to watch each other's backs. I know Bella is her top priority but something tells me that the rest of us are on her radar as well. We need a photo of this woman as soon as possible. Edward do you think Tanya will give you a copy?"

I bristled at the thought of Edward talking to that woman again. I knew it was necessary but I couldn't help but blame her for all this. The bitch was her sister.

Edward sighed and said I will call her tomorrow and request a picture.

Edward picked that moment to bring up the cars "Bella about these cars…"He didn't get to finish I slammed my hand on the table and everyone got quiet.

"After everything that has happened the last two days I am not going to argue with you about this. You want to pay me back fine do that but the cars are purchased and it's done. Please drop it."

Edward pursed his lips together and his jaw tensed. Great there goes the blow job I was looking forward to that.

The silence that followed was awkward until Rosalie of all the people spoke up with a simple "Thank you Bella." And she went back to fussing over Carrie Ann who had sauce all over her adorable face.

Everyone was shocked. Rosalie hadn't thanked me for anything in the two months since I picked them all up. Emmett was beaming with pride and followed with a "dibs on the Cherokee" before helping himself to a third helping of the massive lasagna.

Alice spoke out nest "That Eclipse is mine, they just scream Alice." She stated matter of factly. I actually purchased it with her in mind. It was a small car and it fit her personality. I knew she was trying to alleviate the tension between Edward and myself and I appreciated it. I however knew that I would be in the lion's den once everyone went to bed.

After dinner the guys boarded up the window that had been shattered and everyone moved to my guest rooms as I told everyone to stay the evening. It was late and the walk was at least 20 minutes from here to their house.

No one seemed surprised when Edward came into my room for the evening as we all went bed. Esme had Placed Christian in the portable bassinet in the guest room she and Carlisle were sleeping in and shooed us off not wanting us to move him.

As soon as I shut the door I was up against the wall and Edward was kissing me roughly. He broke away and pulled me towards the bed pulling my shirt over my head in the process. The next thing I know I'm on my back and my bra and yoga pants are coming off leaving me in nothing but my supergirl boy shorts. Edward was on top of me with a hand full of my hair in a fist and his lips attached to my breast. The sensations he was making me feel went straight to my core. A strangled cry left my lips as his hand tore off my panties and found my clit. I realized two things one Edward was angry with me and two if I didn't stop him now he was going to fuck the shit out of me. It almost seemed like a good idea but I'm sure Edward didn't know I was a virgin. His mouth found mine again as his fingers pinched my clit and I saw stars. I could only grab on to him as he ravished me like a character in a harlequin romance novel.

"Edward stop please not like this." I really didn't want to stop but we needed to talk. "Edward I'm a virgin." It was like I poured cold water over his head. He stopped and looked at me with a mixture of disbelief and horror. He pulled away from me and I instantly wanted him back where he was, but we needed to talk badly.

"Oh Bella I'm so sorry I .."Edward was apologizing unnecessarily . "I almost.. I could have hurt you."

I sat up and pulled the blanket around me as I was butt naked. "I liked it Edward, I just want to talk to you before we move to that level. I've never been with a man in any capacity before and I want to know what you want from me." I couldn't meet his eyes, then I felt him place his finger under my chin and lift my face so my eyes could meet his.

"I want everything." He said simply. "I want to make a future with you. I know this may seem fast but if life hasn't taught me anything it taught me that tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone. I don't want to waste time playing the guessing game. I. WANT. YOU."

He then kissed me softly before asking "Do you want me as well? This has to be a two way street, are we on the same page? I come with a son Bella if you take me you are taking him as well. If it's too much you let me know and I will understand. You are 19 years old and a ready made family can be overwhelming."

"Yes I want you and Christian more than anything. And it's not too much I've never been normal and always older than my years." I couldn't stop the grin on my face. I, introverted Bella Swan, had a man. A gorgeous sexy smart man. My coochie was doing the hoochie dance with pom poms thinking of all the sex we would have. And then he burst my bubble with. "Let's get ready for bed."

Bed? What about the sex?

Edward stopped and looked at me kind of weird before laughing and saying "No sex Bella I want your first time to be special. You have waited this long a little while longer won't matter."

Oh I said that out loud, I really need to get that under control.

"Edward I'm a virgin because I've never had the opportunity not because I was saving myself. My peers were always much older than me and then my parents passed away. I'm 19 not 25 me being a virgin shouldn't be that shocking." I stood up, let the blanket drop and walked towards him. He visibly gulped and my confidence spiked. Wrapping my arms around his neck I whispered to him. "Make love to me Edward."

I had no idea what I was doing but I'm pretty sure I was doing okay when he picked me up and placed me on the bed.

"Not tonight Bella we have a house full of people and I would rather we be alone because you will be screaming." And there goes the gushy cooch. Why would he say crap like this if he wasn't going to give up the goods.

"But since I have you all naked and willing let's give you a little preview of what's to come shall we." Edward placed himself in between my legs before moving further down my body. I realized then what his intentions were. He kissed my inner thigh softly before taking a slow lick across my pussy. He slowly inserted his index finger as he suckled on my clit. He kissed me like he was kissing my mouth and twirled his tongue around my clit.

My head fell back into my pillow as the sensations set me on fire. He placed my legs over his shoulders and held me in place as he nibbled nibbled and sucked all while finger fucking me. I felt a tingling sensation in my belly building up. At that moment he lightly bit down on my clit and I exploded with a scream.

My body went limp as he kissed his way back up my body he kissed my lightly on the lips as I promptly feel asleep.
