Chapter 10

Well it has been about one month since I had Lilly and she is starting to settle into a routine. Every morning almost like clock work she wakes up for some food at around 5:30 and has a bath. Then I get her ready for the day and at around 7 Alice and I leave for school and Janet or Esme watch her during the day. I get home around 4 and work on my school work, then around 6 Lilly has another bath and she goes to sleep not long after that.

Janet and Esme have been such a huge help since Lilly was born and I can never thank them enough. Alice and Rosalie have become like my sisters and the boys have become like my older brothers. The one that surprised me the most though was Edward. About a week after I was released from the hospital he came by while I was home by my self.

Flashback 3 weeks ago

I opened the door expecting Rose. When I saw it was Edward at the door I tried to shut it again.

"Bella stop I need you to listen to what I have to say."

"Why should I listen Edward? You've made it perfectly clear how you think I'm a liar and a slut. Why should I listen to that again?"

"Damnit Bella just fucking let me in and listen to what I have to say alright." he said as he leaned against the door.

I opened the door and stood aside to let him in the house. He followed me through the hall and into the living room in complete silence. I laid Lilly down in her bassinette and sat down on the couch. Edward was just standing by one of the chairs running his hand through his hair.

"Alright Edward I'm listening what did you want to say?"

"Ok here goes, Bella I'm sorry for everything I said when you first arrived but I honestly did believe you were lying about everything" I opened my mouth to tell him to just leave but he started talking again so I decided to hear him out. "But I have had some time to think about everything you've said and everything that was in those papers you have and I have come to the conclusion that James lied to me about everything. So I am here giving you a sincere apology that I hope you will accept and I hope that maybe we can be friends."

I looked up at him and could tell he was being sincere so I accepted his apology.

My musings were interrupted by someone knocking at the door I looked out the window and saw a very familiar red car sitting in the drive. Oh no how did he find us? I grabbed my cell, ran into Lilly's nursery, grabbed her before she could start crying and called Edward for help.

Hey Bella what's up? Did you need something?

Oh my god Edward James is downstairs and I am so scared I don't know what to do.

Alright I'm on my way over. Call your dad and Aunt Janet and tell them he's there. I'm leaving the house now. Where are you and Lilly at in the house?

We're hiding in her closet. Just then I heard glass breaking down stairs and James yelling. Oh god he just broke one of the windows. He's in the house. Oh please hurry.

I will be there in fi… I looked at my cell when it cut off. The battery was dead and I could hear James stomping up the stairs.

"Come out Izzy. I know you're here. I just want to talk to you about the baby."

Just as I was convinced he wouldn't find us Lilly started to whimper. She did not like being in such a dark space.

"Hush now my little Lilly it will be alright." I started whispering really quietly to her.

James must have heard her because the next thing I know he was wrenching open the door and sneering down at me and her.

"Well now what do we have here? Did you actually expect me to give up so easily? You always have been stupid haven't you?"

"Wh-What do you want James? My dad is on the way home and he would like nothing more than to see your sorry ass in handcuffs for what you did to me."

"Izzy no one knows I'm here you stupid bitch. Do you really believe I just got here today. I have been watching you for weeks now. I must say I really am surprised you actually thought you could get away with taking MY child from me and not expect me to come after you. After all you and that little brat belong to me."

"I don't belong to anyone and she is MY child you sick fuck." My head flew to the side as he backhanded me.

"You stupid fucking bitch you never learn do you? Well I will just have to fix that. Now put the little brat down and get some things together. We're taking a ride."

I looked back at him and spit the blood that had collected in my mouth into his face. "Like hell we're not going anywhere with you and the only place your going is jail."

I ran out of the room as he was wiping his face. Just as I got to the living room Edward ran into the house. I ran to him and he took one look at my face and was shoving me behind him to protect me.

"AAARGH YOU STUPID BITCH GET THE FUCK BACK HERE OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU."

"Edward take lilly and go get my dad." I tried to hand my baby girl to him but he just kept shaking his head "Edward you need to do this for me. I need you to promise you will keep my little flower safe, promise me."

He finally took lilly and cradling her to keep her safe he leaned down and kissed me. I looked at him in shock but started shoving them toward the door when I heard James storming down the stairs.

"Go and if I don't see you again tell lilly mommy always loved her."

"I promise I will be back to get you after I get someone."

"Just keep her safe."

I leaned down and placed one last kiss on Lilly's forehead praying it would not be the last time I ever got to. Then I kissed Edward with as much passion as I could muster to say what I had been feeling but never said.

I then turned around preparing myself to take whatever "punishment" James thought I deserved as long as he never layed a hand on my little girl I would be happy.

A/N so what do you think review and let me know. I know I made Edward and Bella fall in love quickly but I do believe that it is possible to fall for someone in a few weeks if you spend a lot of time with them.
