BPOV
I waited for my Edward…soon I saw him at the window with a bag over his shoulder. I smiled at him, "Your staying!"
He smirked, "I love you My Beautiful. If it is all right with you I would like to remain as close to you as possible…at least until Monday. Then we can figure out what is going to happen."
He looked distraught, "What happened Edward?" he looked up at me but didn't respond…"Eddie?"
He sighed, "I attacked Carlisle and threatened to kill him if he ever hurt you again."
I gasped, "Edward, I told you not…"
He was at my side in an instant, "My Beautiful Bella, don't you see…without your happiness I am nothing."
He held me tightly and began to hum my lullaby…I was quickly pulled into a peaceful sleep.

Chapter 10:
(Friday)
EPOV
Sheslept through the night… I held her close to me still angry at Carlisle. He should have known better.
I kissed her every few minutes and breathed in her scent letting it burn my throat, reassuring myself that she was safe and in my arms.
When Charlie awoke I hid in the closet and waited until she had dressed to come out.
I kissed her and went to get my car. I was back in two minutes, this time through the front door.
School was the same as it had been yesterday. But my brothers cornered me after gym.
"Dude Carlisle feels horrible." Jasper stated.
I nodded, "He should. He hurt her Jasper. I promised to protect her and he hurt her!"
Emmett place a hand on my shoulder, "Bro… I know you are protecting her but you should see him man he is devastated." I huffed and looked away trying to rid my mind of everything. Then I heard her heart…it was erratic…it was calling for me.
I bolted towards the sound; my brothers saw the panic on my face.
My mind searching for someone near her…I saw it then…
NEWTON!
I growled and took off at vampire speed. My brothers knew something was wrong…I didn't care if I was seen, she needed me.
I turned the corner and grabbed the back of his shirt. I pulled him off of my beautiful and flung him to my brothers. They held him as he struggled against them. I turned back to Bella and pulled off my shirt. I helped her into it and pulled her into my arms, out of her chair.
I held her as she cried. I heard the Principal ask what was going on. But I did not respond I held onto her and rocked her gently.
I heard Jasper making some calls. But I did not pay any attention I focused on my Beautiful.
I kissed her cheek and began to sing her Lullaby to her.
She calmed slightly and relaxed into my body.
Next thing I know Chief Swan is storming past me to Mike Newton and punching him in the face. "If you ever touch my daughter again, you will be looking at the barrel of my gun!" he roared in anger.
One of his deputies cuffed Mike and left with him.
The Principal ushered us to his office. I sat with Bella in my lap still singing to her. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I sang to her. She calmed down and soon she was only sniffling. I rocked her gently as she clung to me.
I was glad I had put on a white wife beater shirt under my plaid shirt this morning. Her father was staring at me. My brothers looked shocked. There was a knock on the door and I pulled Bella closer to me. The principal had left my brothers, Charlie, and me and my Beautiful alone saying we could have as much time as we needed.
The door opened and in came Carlisle. I scowled at him, but I knew Bella needed to get check out.
"Hello Charlie," Carlisle greeted.
"Hi Carlisle, thanks for coming," Charlie responded.
Carlisle looked over at me before looking to the ground, I saw Charlie look between us but I just held Bella closer.
"Edward," Carlisle spoke gently.
"Bella…Beautiful…" I asked gently.
She looked up at me with puffy red eyes.
"A doctor needs to look at you and make sure you are okay…is it alright with you if Carlisle does it or do you prefer someone else?" I talked to her with all the love in the world.
In Charlie's mind I saw him register the fact that I did not say a woman check his daughter, only in general someone else. He was immediately read to step in.
Carlisle and my brothers saw the same thing.
Bella looked up at me and whispered to low for her father to hear, "Do you trust him?"
Carlisle was feeling as though he had been punched in the gut.
I whispered back so only she would hear, "At the moment no, but I trust that he will treat you with utmost respect and care."
She nodded, "Okay" she said loud enough for everyone to hear.
Carlisle stepped forward as did Charlie.
Jasper and Emmett left the room.
"Can Edward stay with me?" she said clinging to me.
I looked over at Charlie, "Can I?"
He looked toward Carlisle through the corner of his eye… "If Bella would like you to stay then it is fine with me…right Carlisle?"
Carlisle nodded.
"Will we need pictures?" he asked before beginning.
I froze as did Bella.
Charlie sighed, "I'll take them."
"Okay, where would you like to be Bella?" Carlisle asked.
"Right here," she said holding me tighter.
Charlie chuckled, "Bell, you sure are something."
I saw a small smile on Carlisle's lips but it left him quickly.
"Bella, I need you to take off Edward's shirt now." Carlisle spoke gently.
Charlie took a camera out of the duffle I just realized he had.
I helped Bella out of my shirt. She had a nasty bruise on her stomach. Did he knee her in the stomach?
Her shirt was in taters and her bra straps were ripped. I kissed her cheek. "You are safe now."
As Carlisle fixed her up and Charlie took pictures I began to sing to her.
I sang her lullaby…
By the time I finished singing her Lullaby they had both finished their jobs and I had helped her back into my shirt.
I kissed her gently and she clung to me. A deputy came into take our statements.
Newton had cornered her in the hall and straddled her. She tried to fight him off but he punched her in the stomach. He ripped her shirt and was trying to rip off her bra when I showed up.
I said I had been waiting for her but decided to go looking for her when she wasn't there. I said I heard her scream and that my brothers had seen me go looking for her.
They were called in and they gave the same story.
Charlie left with the deputy so he could hand over the photos and said he would be right back. I was left with my brothers, Carlisle and Bella.
"Bella?" Carlisle asked in a tiny voice.
She looked over at him and did a double take, he looked tormented… good.
"I am so sorry Bella. I did not mean to make you feel…" he paused and shook his head. "I am so sorry Bella. Please forgive me,"
Bella looked at him, and then looked over at me, "What did you do to him?" her voice demanding and stern.
I looked straight into her eyes, "I tackled him before being restrained by my brothers. I threatened him, and then I made Jasper show everyone how he had made you fell. Then I tackled and threatened him again. I got a bag packed and went to you."
She looked at me and shook her head, "I told you not to fight with them because of me,"
"He hurt you Bella. I promised to protect you and he hurt you." I whimpered.
She snuggled into me, and sighed. She talked in her tiny voice again, "Do you not like me for your son?"
I was shocked at her question, but I understood it.
Carlisle looked blindsided, "You make him happier than I have ever seen him…and I have known him since I changed him. I will never separate you from him."
She nodded, "I forgive you then. I guess you didn't know what you were doing."
I smiled down at her, "So forgiving." I kissed her temple and looked up at Carlisle, "I am not as forgiving. You hurt my mate. I do not trust you with her."
My Beautiful stroked my cheek, calming me.
Jasper chuckled, "Whipped,"
My Beautiful gave us a full on smile just as her father walked in and froze. Tears welled in his eyes as he looked at his daughter. She is smiling. How beautiful can she get? I have no idea what Edward is doing but he is making my baby happy again.
I locked eyes with Charlie and he leaned his head forward in thanks. I nodded and smiled down at my beautiful and whispered in her ear, "and proud,"
She giggled as kissed me on the lips gently.
I smiled at her before looking over at the Chief again who had begun to speak.
"None of you kids have to go to the station. The evidence is clear; Mike Newton is being charged with assault, attempted rape, and assaulting an officer." Charlie said with pride. He looked over at me and Bella. "It is time to getting home Bell…" he didn't want to separate us either.
"Can Edward come with us…I …I know I'm safe with you daddy but…" She looked so torn.
I looked over at the Chief who was looking at Carlisle…who was looking at me.
Carlisle sighed, "Of course Edward can go if it is okay with you Charlie,"
Charlie nodded and I smiled, "Looks I get to keep you Beautiful."
She shook her head, "No I get to keep you."
I chuckled, "We get to keep each other."
She giggled again as I picked her up and threw my keys at my brothers.
They sighed but agreed to drop off my car outside the Swan residence.
When we got to the cruiser Charlie started laughing, "So do you both want to ride in the back or you want to ride up front and look at your boyfriend behind the glass Bell?"
She giggled "Can I ride up front with you?"
He smiled and nodded. I set her in the car and then climbed into the backseat.
Charlie chuckled the entire ride.
When we arrived he asked what we wanted to eat. Neither of us was hungry but Bella wanted to take a nap on the couch.
So I sat with her on the couch and Charlie sat on his Lazyboy. She couldn't get to sleep though.
"Eddie?" she said after 10 minutes of trying to sleep.
"Yes My Beautiful?" I answered looking down at her.
"Will you sing to me?" she asked sounding tiered.
"Your wish is my command." I answered as I felt Charlie turn his gaze towards us.
There's no way around it
It's you and me
Velvet nights softly pounding
One heart's on the run,
One wishing to join it and you might
Let me hold you tender,
Let me hold you tight, through the night…
Let me go on loving you,
To-night to-night,
Don't know what it means to hold you tight,
Being here alone tonight with you,
Don't know what it means to hold you tender,
It feels so right now,
Tell me I'm the only one,
And then you might…
Let me hold you tender,
Let me hold you tight, through the night…
Let me go on loving you,
To-night to-night,
Say you need me
Let me cover you in midnight kisses
I'm drownin' so deep in my love for you
It's a little like heaven
Tell me I'm not the only one and you might,
Let me hold you tender,
Let me hold you tight,through the night…
Let me go on loving you,
To-night to-night,
It feels so right now, holding you tight,
Holding you tender through the night
Being here alone with you,
I'm yours…
I'm asking…
Tell me I'm the only one,
Tell me you'll let me love you
Tell me you'll let me hold you tender,
Tell me you'll let me hold you tight,
Tell me you'll let me love you tender
Tell me you'll let me hold you tight
Tell me you'll let me tell you how I love you
through the night…
By the time I had finished she had her head in my lap smuggled into my stomach.
Charlie was still starring at us. I looked up at him and looked down bashfully.
"That is the same song you sang to her while Carlisle checked her…it calmed her down then and helped her sleep now." He stated.
I nodded.
"That is a very…deep song. What is it?" He continued.
I looked up at him, "I kind of sort of wrote it for her."
He choked on nothing, "You wrote that for her?"
I nodded, "I played it for her on the piano when we were at my house."
"You composed a song with music and lyrics for my daughter…a love song." He said.
I nodded, "It is more of a lullaby with the music but yes sir I did."
"What is it called," He said curious.
I smiled, "My Beautiful's Lullaby."
He sighed, "You really love her." He sounded like he couldn't wrap his mind around the fact.
I looked at the clock; it read 11:00 o'clock.
Charlie saw me look, "I am going off to bed; call Carlisle and see if you can stay the night so that you don't have to wake Bell."
I smiled at him and nodded, but I didn't call. I know Charlie wanted to be a little mean because of how deep the song was. But his version of being mean was making me sleep sitting down on the couch. But I don't sleep and I don't get uncomfortable.
I held my Beautiful through the night. At one point near 2 am I felt and heard Carlisle. He was checking to making sure I was there. Then he left.
I would forgive him eventually. But he had hurt my mate.
Hurting a vampire's mate…when the vampire is in your coven is a great insult.
BPOV
I was so afraid but I think I always knew Edward would save me.
He sang to me while Carlisle looked me over.
I fell asleep on the couch with my head in Edward's lap.
I knew I was safe.

~Always-B-Happy
P.S. Never let life hold you down, be happy.
My Beautiful's Lullaby: The song Edward sings is "Hold me Tight" by The Beatles and "Hold me Tender" by Janz Paul. I added some words and mixed the songs together. So most of the lyrics belong to them.
