Edward's POV

Damn I really wish that she wouldn't have fallen asleep. I was about to place her in the Volvo when she opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she asked while looking at me with confusion clear in her eyes.

"All you need to know is that we're going back home and I will be here if anything goes wrong." I stated, but I hoped that she didn't find the desperation in my voice. I really really wanted to kiss her, but that plan was ruined now.

"Sleep my Bella, everything will be okay." I said softly to her as she started slipping into her slumber. It took her about two minutes to fall asleep in my arms. I slowly put her in the front seat and ran to the other side of the car and was in within seconds. I looked on her sleeping form to find her look even more peaceful if that is even possible. She was always peaceful, even after the torture that she apparently went through during her parent's divorce.

"Edward" I heard Bella call. "Edward, I love you." She had her head leaning against the back of her seat and eyes closed. She sighed contently and the next thing she said was surprising to me. "EMMY! GET OFF OF THERE! MOM IS TOTALLY GOING TO YELL AT YOU!" she chuckled lightly.

Apparently Bella sleep talks, and Emmy? That's interesting. I might have to tease him when he gets back from recovering. We were at the house within a few minutes, and I immediately picked her up and brought her to her room.

What's wrong? Alice asked. Why does Izzy feel so sleepy, but is happy too? Jasper asked. "Will y'all just shut up for right now? I will tell you later." I said in a whisper as I stared at the angel in front of me. Of course, they both stated in their minds at the same time. Freaky much?

Is Izzy okay Edward? You didn't hurt my sister did you? I couldn't recognize the voice, it sounded like they were discussing their voice, so I just answered, "Alice, I thought I told you that I would tell you later." I didn't say anything.

"Who's here and talking about Izzy?" I asked and the next thing I knew I heard the footsteps of who could only be Emmett. "Emmett?" everyone in the house said at the same time. This is just too weird.

"Where is Izzy?" he asked as I ran into the living room to meet him. I could see the hunger in his eyes.

"Emmy, you aren't going anywhere near her while I'm here. You still look like you are about to kill someone, so I'm just doing this for her protection alright?" I told him in a calm voice.

"WHAT ARE YOU HER BOYFRIEND OR SOMETHING?" Emmett screamed at me.

"YES! YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?! I LOVE YOUR SISTER WITH ALL OF MY UN-BEATING HEART! I DON'T WANT ANY HARM TO COME TO HER!" I screamed and everyone was surprised that I said that I loved Izzy. "I love her so much Emmett, you don- wait maybe you do. How do you feel about Rosalie?" I whispered.

"Emmett feels just like you do Edward, but you feel more." Jasper told me.

"Well I love her with all of my heart, I have no clue if she feels the same way about me, but I love her with all of my existence. Don't take that away from me Emmett." I was in dry sobs by the time that I finished. I couldn't explain to them that if I even saw a scratch on her, then I would probably flip.

"I totally understand man; I won't go near her until you allow me." Damn, and Big Izzy was going to be able to come home, and then Edward could just live there. Emmett is sometimes just completely out of it.

"I wouldn't be able to live with you; I would have to 'sleep' in the same room as her to make sure that she was alright." I paused for about two milliseconds, "I don't think you would like that."

"Well my dear brother, I know that you wouldn't go against Izzy's wishes, so I know that you wouldn't cross the line that she draws." Emmett said calmly to me. I smiled back at him silently answering his statement. "Well I better go then. Rosalie, do you want to spend the night at Ch- my place?" He was being careful not to say Charlie. I could only imagine the agony going on within him.

"Yeah. Just let me grab a few things and then we can go okay?" She asked, but didn't wait for an answer. She ran up the stairs and came right back down. "Bye guys! See you when he's done holding me hostage!" She laughed and waved at us and dragged Emmett to the door.

I see Izzy waking up in like thirty seconds Edward. If you're not there then she will freak out. So with that I ran to the room with 25 seconds to spare. I went over to her and held her hand softly. She started to stir and opened her eyes slowly.

"Edward?" She asked in a sleepily voice. I squeezed her hand to let her know that I was right here. "Okay, that's good. I thought I dreamt you up." She chuckled lowly and then opened her eyes slowly reveling the brown magic hidden beneath the curtains of skin.

"How did you sleep?" I asked trying to get over her eyes.

"Wonderful, how was your…whatever you were doing?" she asked with confusion and wonder in her eyes.

"Well Bella, I just got off the phone with your brother. He was wondering if you wanted to live with him," I saw her eyes get excited, I hated to kill that. "But," I continued, not looking her in the eyes, "from the tone of his voice he wasn't ready to have you back at the house."

A silent tear slid down her face, but I caught it. "I'm sorry Bella, I know you want to see him, but I would kill him if he did anything to you." I said calmly.

"Really, you care for me that much?" She asked.

"Of course Bella, I can't imagine a world without you." I smiled as her eyes became filled with love, but I knew that she would tell me that she loved me when she wanted to. "So the lion fell in love with the lamb." I whispered to her.

She turned her face from me and I could smell the blush forming on her cheeks. "What a stupid lamb." She whispered back.

"What a stupid, masochistic lion." I murmured loud enough for her to hear.

"So…" she started, but then she just stopped. "Umm. Never mind."

"Bella, if you want to say something, then just spit it out." I didn't mean to sound mean, but thinking about the words made them sound mean. "I just want to know what you are thinking about all the time. It's difficult to not hear your thoughts." I explained to her.

"I think I lo- no I can't say it."

I groaned, "Bella, you can tell me anything. I won't leave you, I promise."

She sighed but nodded her head. "I think I lo-love you." She whispered softly.

I lifted her head up and gazed into her eyes to see that she truly meant it.

"Bella love, I love you too. Don't ever think differently." I whispered in her ear as I kissed below her earlobe. I heard her sigh in contentment and I was relieved that she responded that way.

I pulled away from her and decided that instant that I was going to do it. It may not seem romantic like it would have been in the meadow, but I just couldn't take it anymore. "Bella, I want to try something, stay very still."

I started leaning towards her slowly, breathing in her intoxicating scent trying to control the urge to bite her. I was going very slowly, and Bella stayed still just like I told her to. My lips were mere centimeters from hers' and I felt the control become very strong within me. The next thing I knew I had warmth over my lips. I opened my eyes to see Bella kissing me back, but she was starting to take it too far.

I sighed and pulled away from Bella and saw her lips form a small pout. I chuckled lightly at her lips and put my fingers there. "Bella, I would love to kiss you more, but I don't want to lose control. I'm stronger than I thought I was." A look of realization came upon her face and she sighed into my fingers.
