I don't own Twilight

Chapter Ten: Remember

BPOV

After I embarrassed the hell out of myself in the hallway I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Unfortunately that was not an option, so I decided to continue my 'stay away from Edward' plan. This plan proved to be a failure as well, because I ended up having lunch with him.

When I saw Edward exit the cafeteria and head for the door, I called out to him before I could stop myself. That guy had some strange magnetic power over me, and no matter what I did I couldn't stay away. Edward confided to me that he was hiding from Tanya, and I couldn't help but feel a little relieved. I followed him outside and we found a tree to sit under, where Edward showed his chivalry by insisting that I share his lunch. I ended up only eating an apple, because I would have felt guilty if he had gone hungry on my behalf. By some miracle it was actually sunny, so it was nice to sit in the shade that the tree provided.

My curiosity got the best of me, and I eventually asked Edward if he hated me for not believing Esme's story. To my relief he said he didn't, but he seemed awful sure of himself when he said he knew I would remember at some point. As soon as Edward stopped talking I found myself entranced in his eyes. We stared at each other in silence and no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't look away. Before I could process what was happening, Edward leaned in and pressed his lips gently to mine. At first I panicked and froze, but then images began to flicker in my mind. Images of Edward and me crashing into each other in town, and then eating lunch together. Images of us meeting up again and again in secret, being at some elegant ball, of us saying we loved each other, of us making love. The images came faster and faster - of us running away, of us getting married, and of me having a baby. It actually happened; in a matter of just a few seconds, I had recalled a lifetime of memories.

Once the images stopped, I put everything I had into the kiss with Edward; my Edward. It was my Edward that I fell in love with centuries ago, and with whom I was forced to part from. When we finally stopped for air I had tears in my eyes and could only manage a whisper.

"Edward."

"What is it Bella? Are you alright?" Edward asked with concern evident on his face.

"Belle," I answered.

"What?" Edward asked, looking confused.

"Call me Belle," I answered, and took both of Edward's hands in mine, "It's what you used to call me."

"Use to…" Edward said trailing off and looking at me with a mix of shock and hope.

"Edward, I remember," I said as rested my forehead against his.

"How? Why?" Edward asked as he dropped my hands and pulled me into his lap.

"When you kissed me everything just came flooding back," I explained as I rested my head on his shoulder.

"I just can't believe it," Edward said before lifting my chin and pressing his lips to mine once again. Edward pulled away too soon for my liking, and I let out a small groan of frustration which caused Edward to laugh.

"As much as I would like to sit here and continue kissing you for the rest of eternity," Edward began, "I think we should go somewhere more private and talk".

"But school…" I began, and Edward cut me off with a quick peck on my lips.

"I think this is more important than school," Edward said, and I couldn't argue.

"We could go to my house," I said, "My dad is at work."

"No, I want to show you something," Edward said as he stood up and offered me his hand. I pulled myself up and we began to walk to the parking lot.

"Edward, we left your lunch tray under the tree," I said just as we reached his car.

"We can get it when we come back," Edward answered.

"We're coming back?" I asked confused.

"We have to, so you can get your truck and I can give Emmett and Jasper a ride home," Edward explained.

"Oh my god, Emmett and Jasper!" I gasped, "Do they remember?"

"No. Do Alice and Rosalie?" Edward asked.

"No," I replied as Edward opened the passenger side door for me. As soon as I was buckled in Edward shut my door and ran around to his side. Edward drove with one had on the steering wheel while the other held my hand.

"Where are we going?" I asked after we had driven for awhile.

"A place I found when we first moved here," Edward explained as he pulled over on the side of the road.

"Um, the place you found is the side of the highway," I said in confusion as I took in our surroundings.

"No Belle, the place I found is in the woods by the side of the highway," Edward explained with a smirk. Naturally, I was happy when I heard him call me Belle, but then I realized what else he had said.

"You want me to walk through the woods?" I asked, looking at him as if he had lost his mind.

"Yep," Edward replied as he got out of the car and came around to my side to open the door.

"But… I'll trip over everything, and then you'll have take me to the hospital and Emmett and Jasper will be stuck at school," I rambled.

"What if you ride on my back?" Edward offered sensing my distress.

"Okay," I replied happily before he bent down and I climbed onto his back. Edward walked at a steady pace, and after awhile I began to see a light in the trees ahead.

"What is it?" I asked as impatience took over.

"Something I found that reminded me of us," Edward said. When reached the opening of the trees Edward set me down and took my hand, and together we walked through the edge of the forest. When I saw what was on the other side, my eyes filled with tears.

Belle and I entered the meadow, and as soon as she saw it I heard her gasp. When I turned to look at her I noticed tears in her eyes.

"Belle, are you okay?" I asked, hoping I wasn't overwhelming her with this.

"Yes," she replied before walking over to me and wrapping her arms around my waist, "Edward, this is beautiful."

"When I first came here I experienced major déjà vu," I explained as I wrapped my arms around Belle and held her close.

"Really?" Bella asked with a smile in voice.

"Yep. I guess it reminded me of our meadow," I said, "I just didn't know there was a meadow." I sat down and pulled Belle down onto my lap. I heard her sigh with contentment before resting her head on my shoulder.

"Edward?" Bella asked.

"Hmm," I replied resting my head on top of hers.

"What do we do now?" Bella asked, and I knew she was talking about our future.

"Well, I suppose we should talk to Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper," I said as I realized they should probably know about their past lives.

"Do you think they will believe us?" Belle asked nervously.

"I don't know," I answered honestly, "I really hope so, though."

"Me too," Belle answered. We were silent for a moment before Belle's arms tightened around me and she started to shake.

"Belle, what is it?" I asked as I soothingly rubbed her back.

"I just can't believe that you're here, and that we are together," she replied through her tears.

"I know," I whispered as I tipped her head up and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Feeling Belle's lips against mine and knowing that she was here and she remembered us brought tears to my eyes. When we pulled apart I rested my forehead against hers as we attempted to catch our breath.

"Edward," Belle gasped, "Landon." I nodded as realized that it occurred to Belle that our son was alive.

"He's alive," Belle whispered.

"Yes," I answered.

"Why are Peter and Charlotte his parents?" Bella demanded.

"I don't know," I said, "I asked Carlisle and Esme, and they didn't know either."

"He's our son, not theirs," Belle said, "He was our little miracle."

"I know," I said as I held her close, "We are going to have to talk to Peter and Charlotte and see if they remember."

"Yes," Belle said with a shake of her head, "I remember everything they did for us, and I can't bear to see them unhappy. But at the same time, knowing that Landon is out there but isn't with us is almost unbearable," she said.

"We do owe them a lot, but he is our son, not theirs," I said as I felt my frustration take over, "When I figured it out I sort of screamed at Carlisle and Esme," I admitted.

"I'm sure you were upset. I don't blame you," Belle said, "We need to get our son back."

"We will," I vowed. Belle stood up and began to pace around the meadow, and I could practically see the anger and frustration rolling off of her.

"We have other problems to deal with in the meantime," I said, causing Belle to stop mid-pace.

"Like what?" Belle asked in disbelief.

"Tanya," I replied, and suppressed a laugh when I saw her cringe.

"Right, her," Belle said, "What are we supposed to about her?"

"I guess that depends on whether or not she remembers," I answered.

"Do you think she does?" Belle asked.

"God, I hope not," I replied.

"Me too," Belle said, then she froze. "Um, Edward, we have another problem."

"What?" I asked, praying that the problem was nothing serious.

"Jacob," Belle answered, "He lives in La Push."

"Excuse me?" I asked in disbelief.

"Remember when I told you I knew a Jacob, and he gave me the creeps?" Belle asked.

"Yes," I replied as a feeling of dread washed over me.

"I understand it now. He gave me the creeps because he is the man who had us killed," Belle answered as she came to sit down next to me.

"Well, isn't that just perfect," I growled in frustration.

"There is one good thing," Belle said as she picked up my hand and started drawing soothing circles.

"Really, and what would that be?" I asked.

"Jacob is only fifteen," Belle answered with a slight smirk.

"Interesting," I answered with a smirk of my own.

"I figure that since he is younger than us this time, it has to help," Belle said.

"It can't hurt," I replied, "We have to make sure Tanya and Jacob don't meet."

"Right," Belle agreed.

"Something tells me that hell would break loose if that were to happen," I said, and Belle nodded in agreement. I pulled her back into my lap and just as I leaned my head closer to hers, my phone rang. Being so caught up in the moment, we both jumped in shock.

"Hello?" I said as I answered my phone.

"Where the hell are you?" Emmett demanded.

"Oh, crap. What time is it?" I asked.

"It's time for you to get your ass back here and pick up Jasper and I," Emmett responded.

"Okay! Geez, relax. I'll be there soon," I said, and hung up before Emmett could respond.

"We have to go," I said as I stood and offered Belle my hand so she could stand.

I turned around and Belle climbed on my back. I walked as quickly as I could through the woods and before I knew it we were back to my car. I held Belle's door open and shut it again when she was safely inside. Her hand stayed clasped within mine during the drive back to school, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed when I realized that soon we would be separated. I knew it was only until tomorrow, but now that Belle remembered it seemed like a lifetime. I pulled into to school and was surprised to see my brothers waiting with Rosalie and Alice. I parked my car and we got out and walked over to the group.

"Where were you two?" Alice asked, and I knew it's was time for us to explain more than just where we were.
