Chapter 10- Recall.

Alice took care of Jake whilst me and Bella talked some more in my room. We were both sat on the bed, crossed legged facing each other. "I'm so happy Edward. You're a father to my son. The best one I could have asked for and he has other great relatives here too." Bella said to me. I smiled and bowed my head.

"You don't know how much you and Jake mean to me Bella. I thought I was the odd one out of my family and was going to be like that forever. YOU made that now impossible for me. I've found the most perfect girl, but I don't deserve her one bit." I said to her, meaning it from the bottom of my lifeless heart. I could see she was blushing and welling up with tears. One fell and landed on the edge of her lip. I leant in to kiss it away. I did so and then looked into her chocolate depths. "Edward I'm the one that doesn't deserve you." Bella said, trying to smile. I did and kissed her again. "It's twilight…" I said as I looked out of my glass wall. Bella followed my gaze and nodded. "The sky's beautiful, full with all these colours" Bella said, slightly. I scrunched up my face and scoffed. "Bella nothing in this entire universe could compare to you. I mean it." I said as I brought her to my lap. She curled up to my chest and looked out the window. "I'm in love with a vampire…" She trailed off, tilting her head so she could see me. I smiled. "That you are my angel," I said as I laid Bella back taking myself at her side. She sighed and then rolled over so her back was against my chest. I put my arm around her waist and got rid of the few strands of hair that were in her face. "Do you want me to get Jake, Bella? Or I can ask my sisters to watch him for the night," I asked. "Could Rose and Alice watch him, I sorta like the privacy here," Bella asked. I nodded and told Alice with my mind what Bella said. OK Edward, I'll watch Jake and so will Rose. You and Bella have a nice night together- I heard Alice think. I was relieved tonight it would be just me and Bella, here in this room.

Bella rolled over and looked at me. She sighed and then smiled. "I've just realised, it's 4th August, we got together 4 months ago today…" Bella said. I smiled and cupped her cheek. I kissed her lightly, but Bella had other ideas. Her arm draped around my neck pulling me closer to deepen the kiss. I obliged and pulled her so she lay on top of me.

Although this kiss was amazing I could feel my control going. The monster which lay now awake in me started to come through. I pulled away and pushed Bella off me. She looked confused. "Edward, is something wrong?" She asked me. I looked at her, breathing heavily. "I'm sorry Bella. God, I'm so sorry. I almost lost it then. I'll work on it, I promise." By this time Bella was already lay across my chest and shushing me, soothingly. She rubbed her tiny hand across my cheek bone as if to calm me down. "Edward, you're fine, I'm fine, we're fine. I'm sorry that I pushed you so hard. I should have known." She said soothing me. I smiled and then pulled her back to where we left off. She looked surprised at first but then she went with the moment. When she pulled away she had a beaming smile on her face.

She lay down on my chest with her head resting on my shoulder and her arms around my neck. Mine were holding her against me and rubbing her back, up and down repeatedly. "Are you sure you're alright like this Edward?" Bella asked me, lifting her head up. I turned mine so that I could see her on the side she was on. "I'm positive Bella. We'll have to take things slowly. I want you so much but, I'm so afraid I'll hurt you in the process though." I told her, stroking her face. She smiled and blushed. "Edward, we can wait until you're ready. I would rather take things slowly, unlike my previous relationship. You know to tell you the honest truth, Jake, was a mistake. I was on the pill when I was with James, I always took it, but like they say it sometimes doesn't take effect. I remember a horrible pain in my stomach. I went to the hospital and then it was all revealed. I was shocked, but I wanted him. Then my life went on from there." Bella told me. I put my hand on her neck and pulled her down so she rested in the crook of my neck. "I'm so sorry Bella. Honestly. I feel awful now" I whispered to her. "What for Edward, you've done nothing wrong" She replied. "I can't give you any more children Bella, my cells are dead. I would give anything to give you another" I told her. She lifted her head and then sighed. "When did I ever say that I wanted to have anymore? Jake, is… an amazing boy and I couldn't be more proud than I already am. I have him, that's good enough for me," She finished. I sighed and rolled us over so we were on our sides.

It was getting late and Bella was getting tired after all our talking. We stayed up until half pat two in the morning. Every now and again we'd hear a banging on the walls. I knew what it was instantly, Bella however, worried. "Bella, calm down. It's Rosalie and Emmett… You get used to it when you don't sleep" I explained. "What are they doing?" She asked. I cocked my left eyebrow up and pouted my lip in a cocky way. She grasped it quick and then burst into a wave of laughter. After the amusing was done, Bella curled up and then fell into a deep sleep with me spooned up to her…

In the morning Rosalie and Emmett decided they were taking Jake out to the park. They really loved him like their own, as did all of the other Cullen's. Bella and I were going out to the harbour in Port Angeles tonight for a meal at The Aquarium Seafood Bay Restaurant. Bella had never had seafood she told me and what a better way to have it around your "relationship anniversary"? We were both looking forward to the night out. Alice had bought Bella a dress; I knew where it was from, but not what it looked like. I could always rely on my sister though.

Rosalie and Emmett took Jake out at half past twelve. That left me, Bella, Jasper, Alice, Carlisle and Esme. We were all gathered in the living room watching TV; it was obvious though some were getting bored. "Let's play a game." Alice said, standing up. Everyone looked at her and smiled. "OK, how about scene it?" Esme asked. We all nodded and waited for Esme to arrive back with the game. Once she did we picked teams and then started the DVD up. It was boys vs. girls. Me, Carlisle and Jasper against Bella, Esme and Alice. All of us had our game faces on. Ladies first. "Which actress played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series? Emma Watson, Anna Paquin, Penelope Cruz or Jennifer Love Hewitt." Esme read out, in unison they all said their chosen answer. "Emma Watson." They all said. Alice, who was in charge of the remote, chose their option and then waited for the verdict. They were correct and then passed us the remote.

We played 2 games of Scene it? Both times the girls beat us. It was fun though. "I knew we were going to win, that's why I said it… duh!" Alice said, clearing the game away with Bella. Once they were done, Rose, Emmett and Jake came back. Emmett had Jake on his shoulders and holding Rosalie's left hand. Jake smiled and clapped when he saw Bella. Emmett took him off his shoulders and then gave him to Bella. She held him and kissed the side of his head, obviously happy her son was home. "I missed you loads…" Bella whispered to him. He kissed her lips and then smiled shyly. "I missed you too Mummy" He said as he looked to her. She put him down and toddled off to the living room and plonked himself on the couch. He flicked The Doodlebops on and watched it. Everyone obliged to watch it as it made Jake happy.

"Come on Bella, me and Alice need to get you ready for you dinner with Edward," Rosalie said, holding out her hand so she could get up. Bella took it and she pulled. They were off into the hall and up the stairs in a flash and then into Rosalie's room. I couldn't wait to see Bella all dressed up again.

The reservation was in an hour and ½ so I needed to get ready myself. I went to my room and lifted out the newly bought Hugo Boss suit I invested in. I showered first, washing my hair and then dried it. I gelled it slightly, but not too much. I put the suit on next and then tried to dig out the shoes I told Alice to buy for me. Your Italian shoes are on the top shelf of your left wardrobe, I'm positive- Alice thought. I looked where she told me to and found them laying there alone. I took them downstairs and waited for my beauty, Bella. I waited about half an hour and then saw her emerge from the top of the stairs alone. My eyes almost popped out of my head and if my heart could still beat, it would have definitely have stopped for sure. I was speechless.

Bella's hair was down and its natural curls showing. The dress she had on was amazing. It was light blue and had a scale pattern on the top half. It was knee length and puffy at the bottom. It had a small deeper blue bow on the right side and a few of the scale pieces dotted on the puffy half. She looked amazing; she outdid every vampire woman in this house for sure.

I took her hand and lead her to the Vanquish for the second time. We were stopped by Jake who came running to us in his tiger PJ's. "I wanna say night night to Mummy and Daddy before they go!" He shouted, running at us both. I picked him up and kissed him, saying good night to him. Bella did the same and then in Esme's arms he waved us off.

I took off at God knows what speed and got us to the restaurant just in time. We sat down and got talking. Mainly about the two of us. "Bella, you know like I said I had limits to our relationship, well… I think that if we go slowly, I will be able to control myself better rather than just taking the plunge in one night." I told her "Edward I want to wait until we take our relationship to a physical level anyway," She said to me, sipping her wine. I sighed and smiled. "Thank you Bella, not many people would do that. You don't know how much that means to me Bella," I said to her, cupping her cheek. She closed her eyes and smiled. "Will I need to be on the pill like I was last time?" She asked me. I considered it and couldn't think of an answer. "I've never heard of a vampire conceiving, I think it would be better us two talking to Carlisle," I told her. Her face looked worried after I did that. "Erm… Edward, wouldn't that be, erm, embarrassing? Asking your father about sex?" She asked me. I definitely agreed with her in that respect, except he knew everything medical and the topic we were on was under that category. "Bella, I just want you to be safe." I told her. She nodded and then looked around. Her prawn cocktail arrived and she tucked in. She waffled it down in a few minutes and then told me how delicious it was.

Bella ordered a seafood platter for her main. That arrived twenty minutes after her starter. That was gone soon enough and so was her dessert- chocolate fondue with fruit. I paid and then lead Bella to the harbour. She looked out and then smiled. "The moon looks beautiful on the water… Thank you for tonight Edward. It was perfect" She said, hugging me tightly to her. I hugged her back and kissed the top of her head. Her long locks smelt of fragrant strawberries, only enhancing her to-die-for scent. "Anything for you my darling, anything you want is yours" I whispered to her.

We stood looking at the moon for a while and then slowly walked back hand in hand to the car. I helped her in and then drove slowly home, on Bella's request. "I want to thank you Bella for being with me these last few months. They truly have been the best four months of my life." I spoke. A tear trickled down her face and she smiled. "I would never be with anyone in my entire life Edward now I have you." She replied. I squeezed her hand and then got us both home. We went into my room, changed into our PJ's and then curled up on my bed. Bella's head lay on my stomach when she fell asleep. I stroked her head soothingly whilst she dreamt and watched the night turn from darkness to dawn.
