The darkness started to fade and I started to hear whispering around me. No. Please don't wake up. I don't want to leave this dream. The whispering started to get louder and I could now hear individual voices.

"Do you think she's going to be ok?"

"When is she going to wake up?"

"Yes. She's going to be fine. Luckily he didn't break anything."

Who are they talking about?

I cracked my eyes open and turned my head to the left. I spotted an alarm clock. Oh, shit. It's four-thirty! I sat straight up in bed, when I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder and guide me back down. I looked up into ice blue eyes.

"Isabella? Please, you need to stay laying down. You need your rest."

"Dr. Cullen?"

"Yes."

I laid back down and looked around the room. There were three people that I didn't recognize, Alice and Jasper, my dad, and Greek God. Oh my God, Greek God! I looked down at myself and sighed while I shut my eyes. I look like shit. I heard chuckling around me.

"Isabella?"

I looked back up at Dr. Cullen and smiled slightly, which probably came out as a grimace.

"Isabella?"

"Please, Dr. Cullen. Please, call me Bella."

"Ok, Bella. Then you are to call me Carlisle." He chuckled. I nodded towards him.

I looked around the room again.

"What's going on?"

Greek God walked over and sat in the chair beside the bed and took my hand. Tingles started shooting up my arm as he did this, which immediately made me relax.

"Your safe now." Damn his voice sounded like velvet.

I tucked my head down, bit my lip, and blushed.

"Bells?"

I snapped my head up towards my dad.

"Dad!"

"Bells. I need to know?"

"Know what, Dad?"

"We have the pictures that you had hidden in the drawer and have Jacob in custody. Do you want to press charges?"

"Oh God! Jacob! The kids! Where are my kids?"

I felt a squeeze on my hand and looked over and gazed into pools of emerald green.

"Don't worry about them. They're with the other kids at my ex-sister-in-law's house. They're fine. I promise."

While he was saying this, we maintained eye contact.

"Depending on how you are feeling. You can go with, tomorrow, to go pick them up. Ok, Isabella?"

"Please, just Bella." I replied while biting my lip.

"Ok, Bella." He half-smiled. Whoa, his smile is gorgeous. "I'm, Edward." He pulled up my hand and kissed the back of it. Swoon. I of course blushed and bit my lip. Neither one of us cut eye contact, though.

Somewhere in the room someone cleared their throat. Edward looked around and blushed, while I ducked my head. There were a couple of chuckles when Alice danced over to me and gave me a hug.

"I'm so glad you're here, Bella! You know Jas, your dad, and Carlisle. Now you know Edward….." She paused to give him a look with narrowed eyes. She pointed to a huge man in the corner and said, "That dork is Emmett." He waved and smiled. "The blond beside him is his wife, Rosalie." She waved and smiled slightly. "And the woman beside Carlisle, is his wife, Esme." She walked over to me and gave me a hug.

"I am so glad you're safe, Bella. I knew Lizzy and Ed would answer my prayers."

I heard a slight sniffle from beside me and looked and saw Edward wiping his eyes, discreetly. I squeezed his hand and turned back to Esme.

"Thank you for your prayers." I looked around and said, "Thank you all for helping me. I couldn't have done it otherwise." I looked at my dad and smiled. "Dad. I want to press charges."

"Ok Bells. I'll call Detective Michaels and let him know."

"Detective Michaels? As in Kevin Michaels?"

"Yes, Kevin Michaels." He chuckled.

"Ok. I can't wait to see him, again."

Charlie chuckled again while he walked out of the room. I looked over at a bouncing Alice, who looked like she was about to explode.

"Ok, ok. All the boys out. It's girl time!" She squealed.

All the guys, except Edward, walked out of the room, chuckling, while shaking their heads. Edward stood up and bent down and whispered, "Yell, if she becomes to much. I'll just be on the other side of the door." I nodded and he kissed my forehead and left the room. After he shut the door, I looked around at the three girls' faces. I stopped at a still bouncing Alice and asked, "What, Ally?"

"You like him." She stated.

"Who?"

"You know who?"

"No. I don't Alice Whitlock."

"Two words…Greek…God."

I blushed a bright red.

"I said that out loud?"

Esme came over and sat where Edward had been and grasped my hand.

"Yes, you did, dear." She chuckled.

"Who all heard it?"

"Everyone." Rosalie chimed in while chuckling. "Don't worry. He is very good looking."

I ducked my head down in embarrassment when they all chuckled.

"Don't worry about it, dear. Edward's a very good man." Esme, said.

I looked down at my self and scoffed, "I bet he is. Like it matters. I'm not worthy of him. I'm broken and a whore. There's no way someone like him could find me attractive."

Rosalie wrapped her arm around me and said, softly, "No your not, Bella. Jacob is a monster. You are a caring, wonderful mother. You have a good heart. Don't let that scum get to you. You do deserve someone to treat you like you should. You are not worthless. You are not a whore. And yes. I think Edward definitely finds you attractive."

"Yes I am, Rosalie. And no, he doesn't." I whispered.

"Fine, Bella. If you're a whore…."

"Rosalie!" Esme and Alice interrupted. Rosalie held up her hand to stop them and continued.

"Just hear me out. If you're a whore. How many guys have you slept with?"

"Just Jacob." I whispered.

"Ok. So if that makes you a whore. Then I am definitely a whore…"

I started to interrupt her, but she cut me off when she put her finger against my lips.

"No. Don't interrupt me, Bella. I have been with three guys. Alice, how many guys have you been with?"

"Two."

"Esme?"

"Three."

I looked over at Rosalie and seen that she was gaping at Esme. She cleared her throat and continued, "Damn, really? Anyway. I guess that makes all of us worse whores than you." She looked back to me and asked, "So. Are we whores?"

"No." I whispered.

"Are you a whore?"

"No."

"Louder!"

"No." I said louder.

"Louder!" Alice chimed in.

"No!" I said a little louder.

"LOUDER!" Esme yelled.

"NO!" I yelled.

I heard a disturbance from behind the door, when Rosalie continued, "WHAT AREN'T YOU?"

"I'M NOT A WHORE!"

"AND?"

"I'M NOT WORTHLESS!"

"AND?"

At this time, the door opened and the guys reentered the room.

"I'M NOT A WORTHLESS, WHORE! I'M NOT A BITCH! I'M NOT A PEACE OF SHIT! I AM A GOOD MOTHER! I DESERVE TO BE LOVED AND CHARISHED! I HATE YOU, JACOB! I HATE YOU!" I screamed through my sobs.

As I became aware of my surroundings, I noticed a pair of strong arms holding me. I looked around and realized everyone left the room, to give me privacy. I looked up into the emerald green depths of Edward's eyes. He smiled down at me and asked, "Do you feel better?"

"Yeah, I do. Where did everyone go?"

"Aunt Esme went to dish up dinner, Emmett and Rose are checking on the kids, Jasper and Alice are…..I'm not sure what they're doing, and Uncle Carlisle and your dad are talking to Detective Michaels."

"Oh, ok. Wait, you said Aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle. I thought they were your parents?"

"No. My parents passed away when I was six years old. I'll tell you about it sometime." He looked down at me with a watery smile.

"I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me."

He ran his hand through his hair and sighed, "When I'm ready, I will."

"Ok."

We gazed into each others' eyes, enjoying the comfortable silence, when I broke the moment.

"Edward?"

"Yeah, Bella."

"Can I ask you some questions?"

"Sure."

"What's your last name?"

"Masen."

"Um…how many kids do you have?"

"That's a complicated one." He chuckled. "Two, biological. One, not biological."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. Complicated and confusing. I know. I'll tell you about it some other time."

I looked up at him and bit my lip. When he took his thumb and pried my bottom lip from my teeth, I sighed, "So, Emmett is your?"

"He's my cousin. He's Carlisle and Esme's son."

"Gotcha."

I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. This is so strange. I don't even know this man, but I feel so safe with him. What the hell does that mean.

About fifteen minutes later, Esme walked in and put a tray down beside me. I looked down and saw a plate of mushroom ravioli. Yum. Edward stood up and kissed my forehead to go eat his dinner. Before he could get too far, I grabbed his hand. He stopped and looked at me questioningly. I pulled him to me and kissed his cheek and whispered, "Thank you." His breathing hitched and replied, "It's not a problem, Bella." and left the room. I looked over at Esme, who looked like she was going to explode with excitement.

"What?"

She just looked at me, winked, and walked out of the room.

After I finished the delicious meal, I sat there trying to decide what to do. A moment passed and I couldn't think of anything so I slowly got off of the bed and made my way through the living room and into the noisy kitchen. I took my tray over to the sink and started in on the dishes. Esme walked up behind me and shooed me away.

"You don't need to do the dishes, dear."

"I don't know what else to do. Plus, I don't mind."

"Why don't you go and sit down with the rest of us and relax, ok."

I smiled at her and nodded.

While we all were conversing with each other, I kept sneaking peaks over at Edward, and noticed that he was doing the same thing with me. I heard a couple of snickers and looked around. Rosalie and Alice winked at me and glanced at Edward.

"Well." Edward said, while tossing his napkin on the table. "I think I'm going to go get cleaned up." He walked over to Esme and kissed her cheek. "Dinner was delicious as usual, Aunt Esme."

"Suck up." Gaffed Emmett.

As everyone turned to look at Emmett, I caught Edward, discreetly, flipping him off by rubbing the bridge of his nose with his middle finger. He caught me staring at him and winked while he left the room.

After about five minutes went by, Alice and Rosalie jumped up and grabbed my hands.

"We're going to show Bella where she can get cleaned up." Alice chirped.

We walked into my room and I pulled a pair of sleep pants, a t-shirt, and fresh underwear from my bag. We walked up the stairs to the second floor and proceeded to the third floor. We all froze in our tracks when we heard grunting and moaning coming from one of the rooms. Alice and Rosalie slapped their hands to their mouths while I stood there with my mouth opened and eyes wide.

"Oh, fuck, that feels good!" Came a muffled voice. After a couple of minutes we heard, "OH FUCK, BELLA!"

I snapped my mouth shut and turned to face a laughing Alice and Rosalie. I bit my lip to try and control my own laughter.

When we heard the water shut off and whistling coming from the room, Rosalie grabbed my arm and we dashed into a spare bedroom. After the door was shut, we all broke into uncontrollable laughter. When there was a knock on the door, we tried our hardest to calm down.

"Come in." Choked Alice. The door creaked open and Edward poked his wet head in.

"What are you three laughing at?"

We looked at each other and melted into another fit of laughter. Edward just looked at us in confusion. When none of us could get an answer out, he just smiled and shook his head and chuckled, "The bathroom's free, if anyone needs it." We laughed even harder at this and he shook his head at us again and shut the door.

Rosalie was the first to calm down and she wrapped her arm around me.

"See. I told you he found you attractive. Do you believe me now?"

"Yeah, Rosalie. I believe you."

"Bella?"

"Yeah."

"It's just Rose, ok."

"Ok, Rose." I said while I hugged her.

I gave Alice a hug and started to walk out of the room to go take a shower. I was stopped by Alice when she laughed, "Be careful where you step, Bella. You don't want to slip and fall on his jizz." I started laughing again and made my way into the still steam filled bathroom.

After I was done with my shower, I dressed quickly and met Alice and Rose out in the hall. We looked at each other, chuckling, and made our way down the two sets of stairs.

As we made our way into the living room, I was swept off of my feet and twirled around.

"Bells! Good to see you, kiddo."

I looked up to see Detective Michaels. After we hugged each other tightly, he set me down and we made our way over to the couch and sat down. I looked over at everyone's faces and sighed.

"Ok. What do I need to do in order to get Jacob out of my life?""Well. Not too much, actually. Jacob is already in custody for assault on a police officer. I just need your statement and he'll have to go to court."

"Will I have to testify?"

Kevin grasped my hands and replied, "Yes, but with the pictures of today and the pictures we recovered from your house. It's in the bag. I'll file for a restraining order in the morning for you and the kids. Hopefully, he won't get bail."

"What if he does? The kids and I won't be safe."

"Don't worry, ok. We'll keep you safe."

"Bells?"

"Yeah, Dad."

"I think you and the kids should come back home with me."

"Dad, no offence. But I won't be safe at your house. Billy will find out we're there and he'll call Jacob. I'd rather stay here."

"Whatever you think is best, Bells." He sighed.

"I do, Dad." I turned back to Kevin and asked, "How soon can I file for divorce?"

"I'll talk to the judge in the morning."

We all stood up and I gave everyone a hug. When I got to Edward, I blushed and kissed his cheek.

"I think I'm going to head to bed. It's been a very long day."

Everyone told me goodnight
