Chapter 10
"Any news about Jacob?" Alice asked casually sitting criss-cross on the ground. We had all gathered in the Cullens' family room and were just socializing, while Mason played in the middle of the room with some toy cars. Rosalie watching his every move…
"Not that I know of." I threw in looking at Edward.
"I've heard none. But he's bigger now. I think he can handle himself." Edward said not really into the subject. Rosalie cut in with her outburst of laughter.
"Jacob, handling himself, that will be the day I seize to exist. " Rosalie said rolling her big gorgeous eyes.
"Give Jacob some credit." I pleaded out loud.
"Yeah, I mean come on guys Jacob hasn't even done anything 'rash'…yet." Emmett said sarcastically.
Jasper was next to speak.
"And what if he does something rash…what are our actions then?" He said almost eager to start a fight. Vampires.
"I don't think that Jacob concerns me. I won't be doing anything that has to deal with him. Except if the stupid dog does anything to Mason…then I would love to personally rip him apart…slowly." Rosalie interjected. Of course she would say that. If Jacob killed me, she would never concern herself. But if Jacob were to touch Mason, which I doubt he would even hurt me; let alone my dear little Mason, she would be willing to slice him up.
"Jacob has done nothing but chose to exclude himself from the family. If he does show to be aggressive and have violent intentions, then we of course will solve the problem then. But for now, we need not to continue this conversation." Carlisle spoke causing all further conversations to discontinue. I was very grateful for this, the conversation made me weary.
"Edward dear, will you, Bella and Mason be spending the night?" Esme supposed excitedly.
Edward turned to look at me. How could I say no when they were all looking at me.
"I could set a crib up in my room and take care of Mason for the night so you guys could have a good night for once." Rosalie suggested. Again the thought was raised in my mind, IF I COULD GROWL.
"You know I think Bella and I are actually going to go to our own home for the night, if that's all right with you." Edward said politely that it could in NO way be taken rudely.
"Of course son. We will miss you though." Esme said being just as polite back. Rosalie sighed in defeat. I savored my victory and gathered Mason in my arms.
"let's go potty before we leave okay?" I said waking to the bathroom. We were trying to potty train Mason, since he was brilliant. He was catching on fast, but still had to wear a dipper at night.
"Okay, cause I a big boy." He said climbing down from my arms.
"that's right. You are my Big boy." I agreed.
While Mason went to the bathroom we all said our goodbyes.
"Bye Bells." Emmett said giving me his bear hug. Rosalie waited by the bathroom, not even acknowledging my presence of leaving. So as you can imagine, there was no goodbye between us.
Mason came running out of the door proud and was suddenly swooped up into Rosalies' arms.
"You have to go, but I will come and visit you. And you have to keep visiting me; even if your mom doesn't want you to, okay?" She said swinging him around. That's IT!!! WHEN I GET HER ALONE I AM GOING TO TELL HER A FEW THINGS!!
"I love you Mason! See you soon!" She smiled giving his kisses all over his little face. I squeezed Edwards hand and had to tell myself everything was fine.
"Okay Mason! Let's go!" I said quickly, almost harshly, snatching Mason out of her arms. She must have noted my eagerness to get him out of her arms because she added as I went out the door,
"And Bella-Maybe you should take Yoga or something. You seem really tense lately. Maybe I really should take Mason for a while." But I was out the door.
Edward chuckled as I got into the car after I had fastened Mason in his car seat.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"Bella, I'm not that blind. I can tell when you are unhappy. And you were defiantly unhappy." He said again laughing.
"Who said I had to be happy." I said still in a sour mood.
"Don't let her get to you Bella. You are way better than that: and you know it." He said plainly barely even looking at the road as we zoomed by all of our surroundings.
"Do I?" I cut in. He analyzed my face to see how serious I was then spoke again.
"Bella, she will never come even a fraction of worth that you are." He said boldly.
I almost wanted him to repeat that so I could record it and show it to her later. I was beginning to act like a second grader.
"Rosalie just is very interested, as you can see, in Mason. She still loves you though." Edward said like he COULD read my mind.
"She does not love me." I mumbled under my breath.
"Bella you are being hilariously amusing, but I do want you to realize that Rosalie does not hate you, she is just extremely jealous of you." Edward said turning once to look at the road.
"Jealous of me!?" I laughed at the idea.
"Of course. You are beautiful, even if you are not a vampire. She fears if you become one you will become even more beautiful than her. In my opinion you have already achieved that. Then of course she is jealous of you being able to conceive children. She always wanted a baby boy to spoil and love. And in ways she is grateful to you, in a way, because you made her able to have that wish come true." Edward said sweetly. Leave it to Edward to make a situation that seemed completely horrible and turn it into a beautiful thing. I blushed at felt somewhat bad for Rosalie. I would try to be more patient with her.

"Edward. We need to talk again." I said walking into the kitchen. He was reading the paper casually, all he needed now was a cup of coffee and a cigar in his mouth and it would be perfect scene for a hallmark movie.
"What do we need to talk about?" he said placing the paper down neatly on the table.
"I want to be a vampire, right now. We had a deal and I would like to have you follow through on your part of the deal." I said firmly.
He raised an eyebrow and chose a sick smile.
"And what Bella was your plan to make me bite you?" He said like it was an inside joke.
"Just the simple fact that we had a deal." I said again.
He shook his head back and forth.
"I will change you love, I promise you that, but now is not a good time." He said easily.
"Edward! When will be a good time?! There will NEVER be a good time! I get older every day, I don't want to die and never see you again! Please Edward…I don't want to die." I said folding myself onto his lap. He sighed heavily.
"What makes you think that you are going to die?" he said despising the idea.
"I'm human Edward, if a car was to hit me, I would die. If I get a bad disease, I would die. If I were to fall into the water and not be able to swim, I would die. If I building crumbled on top of me, I would die! If another vampire wanted to eat me, I have no way of self defense, I would die! Every day I get older, and every day the Volturi gets closer to coming to see if you have changed me." I said sadly pouting.
He shook his once more.
"Bella, if a car was about to hit you, I would jump in the way and stop it. If a disease were to invade your body, I would find the cure. If you were to fall in the water and not be able to swim, I would race against the current to pull you to safety. If a building her to crumble I would shield you from its weight. If another vampire were ever wanting to harm you, I would tear them apart the second they thought it. Bella, you mean more to me than anything in this world. I will never let anything hurt you. I love you." Then he cold lips found mine. My fingers twisted in his hair while his hands pulled me closer.
