Bella's Point of view

"When will you be back momma?" Zander ask, putting his tiny hands in mine, looking up at me with a pout. He knew there was no way I could deny him when he gave me this look.

I tried not to think about being away from him; I would hate every second of it, and worry if he was ok while staying with Esme. But there was no way I could possibly bring him with me, it was entirely too dangerous.

"Not long, I will be right back tomorrow tonight, make sure to be good for grandma Esme," I said, and lightly kissed his forehead.

As Edward now came into the room Zander turned and went running for him, jumping up in his arms. Edward chuckled, holding him as he walked over to me, his eyes dancing with a warm as he looked down at Zander, "Hey buddy, don't worry alright, we will be back,"

Zander looked up at Edward, his dark brown eyes showing nothing but trust, and affection. My heart warmed as they shared a hug, and Edward proceeded in putting Zander down, ruffling his hair before moving to my side, his golden eyes flashing to me.

Zander again began to pout as he watched us, and sighed, "Why you have to leave?" He asked looking glum.

I looked up to Edward, unsure what to say; of course Edward knew just what to say, and as he spoke, if I wouldn't have known any better, I would have believed everything that he said, he just sounded so genuine.

"You see, Jacob and his friends are in trouble, with some… very mean bullies," He said, keeping his voice light. "And they need our help to get the bullies to leave them alone,"

Zander watched the both of us with wide eyes, "Why help Jacob?"

"Because Jacob helped us in the past, so we are going to do the right thing, and help him and his friends,"

Slowly Zander nodding, seeming to understand, "Why are bullies hurting them?"

Now things were getting more complicated, and we both knew that Zander wouldn't be able to understand anything that we could come up with. Even know as I tried to figure out what to say, I couldn't think of anything.

"It is something we will tell you about when you are older," Edward said gently.

Zander again sighed, "Ok daddy,"

My heart squeezed as I watched my boys, feeling a brief moment of inner pride. I had been so lucky to have such an amazing son… and fiancé in my life. There was no way I would ever let anyone threaten my family.

"Alright, we need to get going, be good," I repeated, leaning down as he ran in to hug me. His tiny arms wrapped around my neck, hugging me tightly, and then moving to Edward to hug him tightly.

After saying our goodbyes, I reluctantly left with Edward, making our way out to the battle grounds. We were supposed to meet up with the others at the campsite we would be staying at for the night. At the break of dawn we would be heading with the wolves out into battle. Victoria and the newborns wouldn't even see it coming.

I couldn't deny I was nervous about all of this, but as long as Edward was here beside me, I was able to keep my composure. Everything would work out… I had gone through training; Jasper believes that I will be a natural.

We would take down Victoria, and never have to worry about it ever again; everyone could finally be happy, and free of stress.

When we made it to the campsite, I wasn't at all surprised to see that Alice and Jasper had already made it there, having a few tents set up, and a small fire started in the center of a ring of logs.

"Well it's about time you two get here, now we just have to wait for Emmett and Rose," Alice trilled, dancing over to us.

Edward rolled his eyes, "We are here perfectly on time Alice,"

She gave him a look, but didn't respond, turning to grin at me, "Can you believe this, I've never gone camping before," She seemed more then excited as she looked around.

"Neither have I, I've been in a city most of my life," I said with a shrug.

A snort from Edward now brought my attention back to him, a look of annoyance clear on his beautiful face. "Well it sounds like Emmett is going to make sure this is going to be an interesting experience for all of us,"

I was about to ask him about this, but suddenly Emmett and Rose came into view walking nonchalantly over to us from the thick tree line of the forest.

"You're late," Alice said giving her 'You're in trouble' look to them.

"I know, Rose was doing her hair," Emmett said making a face, but didn't comment any further than that.

Rose simply shrugged her shoulders, "If I'm spending the night out here, I wanted to make sure I looked good,"

It took all my strength not to roll my eyes at this. Who would possibly care what they look while waiting to battle a bunch of crazy newborns; that can quite possibly kill us.

"You know if you spent as much time into fighting as you do thinking about yourself, you would be the best fighter here," Edward shot at her.

She now turned a glare on Edward, a growl rolling off her lips easily. But she didn't say anything, turning her back to all of us, stalking into the woods.

Emmett sighed, and quickly was following after her.

"Well, this should be fun," Jasper said rolling his eyes, and in a second of silence a wave of tranquility hit me, causing my shoulders to fall from the tense position I apparently been holding them in.

"Oh they will be fine," Alice said, and wrinkled her nose slightly, her eyes gazing out in the open, not seeming to be focusing on anything at all.

Edward shuddered now, a look of disgust hinting in his features as he glanced at Alice, shaking his head, running a hand through his hair. "Would have rather not seen that,"

Alice shrugged lightly, "Do you think I did?" With that she went back to Jasper, taking his hand and leading into one of the tents.

"What did she see?" I asked raising a brow as I turned back to Edward curiously.

He now seemed calm, his arm coming around me, pulling me close to his chest, and with a breath-taking movement he had me up in his arms, silencing me with his lips planted firmly on mine.

I realized now that he was giving me the answer to this by actions, instead of words, which I wasn't about to complain about.

Slowly he walked us into our own separate tent, gently laying me down on the sleeping bag, moving to hover over me, his hands cupping my face as our kisses became more and more passionate.

I couldn't help myself, letting my hands slide up his back, clawing a bit at his shirt, not realizing how easily it would rip. He didn't at all seem to mind this however; in fact he seemed to move with even more heat as he rolled us over so I was on top.

Watching down at him, I lightly shifted letting my lower half just barely sweep over his, keeping my eyes on his shyly waiting for a response. His widened looking up at me, his hands moving to hold my hips, desire danced in his eyes, and love was deep in his kiss as he pulled me down hard to him.

My head fell back slightly, accidently letting out a gasp at the pleasure this had caused, my hands slowly rested on his chest, and with a bit more confidence I bounced in gentle motions.

Edward now closed his eyes, his hold on my hips going tighter as he brought his hips up to meet mine with each bounce, his breathing was now sounding a bit off, I was delighted to feel a slight bulge as I continued moving. I could feel the vibrations of his growls coming from his chest, and I couldn't deny the feeling was incredible.

"Edward, Bella, no having sex, if Rose and I can't, you can't either," Emmett's voice boomed from outside our tent, making me freeze, letting my jaw drop, quickly I rolled off of Edward, causing an annoyed groan from Edward.

"Emmett," Edward hissed, and threw me an apologetic look, sitting up.

I managed my best weak smile, embarrassment the only thing I could possibly felt at that moment.

He sighed, looking as if he was taking just a minute to compose himself, before speaking, "I'm sorry if I pushed you a bit too far Bella, I don't know what came over me, he hung his head in shame.

Quickly I inched closer to him, gently touching his cheek, causing his eyes to flash up to my face, a hint of a smile touching his lips. I leaned in, kissing him tenderly, hoping this was all he needed to see that I was completely happy.

"Don't be sorry… I thought… it was wonderful,"

His arms now came around me, pulling me into his lap, his fingers trailing over my cheek as he watched me, "You have no idea, how out of control you tend to make me," His voice was quiet.

I found this so hard to believe, I had never ever thought of myself as anything special, it seemed impossible that someone like Edward… this beautiful god that had came into my life; would have been even the slightest attracted to me in anyway.

"You know, I love you, and… I want you, I want to be with you like this," I said finding myself lost in his eyes. "And each time we are close, I just feel more and more ready,"

Edward's thumb gently slide over my cheek, watching me with complete seriousness, before moving a strand of my hair from my face, his scent was mouthwatering, it filled my head with a daze that had me almost completely distracted. His lips parted, his musical voice floating slowly from him, caressing each word with passion, and a genuine tone that only he could possess.

"I love you to, you are my entire world my angel," His lips trailed kisses down my neck, stopping just to my shoulder. "I not only want you, I need you, just seeing you… seeing your smile, it gives me everything… everything I could ever possibly want in my existence, just to see you happy,"

I shivered, feeling so touched by his words, I leaned forward, kissing him passionately, locking my fingers in his radiant bronze locks. Pushing him down the a firmness, I moved back on top of him, feeling every cell of my body scream to make love to this man right now.

His hands again went to my hips, and as our kisses grew deeper, I didn't think I was going to stop this time, but of course, our moment was again cut short, this time by Alice.

"Edward, Bella get out here, you two have been in there long enough, I already know you guys aren't going to go all the way, you might as well come out," I heard her call out.

Again embarrassed out of my mind I gave up, obviously if I ever wanted to get that far with Edward, I needed to wait until known of the family was around. Edward shared an annoyed sigh with me, and in a flash, we got out of the tent.

"You all truly are annoying, I hope you know that." Edward said throwing frowns at each of them, rolling his eyes as he locked a gaze with Emmett.

"You're missing out on all the family time fun," Alice grinned, dancing over to us, nodding to the rest of them, who were all sitting in a circle around the fire.

"And I thought Rose and I was bad," I heard Emmett mutter from over at the circle, causing snickers to bounce back and forth between them all.

I rolled my eyes, gently taking Edward's hand, hiding my face in his shoulder.

His fingers gently began stroking my hand, turning his head to kiss my forehead, before glancing at Alice, "Privacy isn't too much to ask for you know,"

Alice now laughed, pushing us over to the others, "It's family time now, deal with it," She now went back to her seat on Jasper's lap. His arms went around her instantly, as if it was an instinct.

Edward snorted slightly, before sighing taking a seat on the log, and pulling me gently into his lap. I relaxed now, letting my head rest on his shoulder, my eyes going to the fire, feeling content at the slight heat I felt from it.

"Now that the lovebirds are finished, let's get back to the ghost stories," Emmett grinned widely.

"Emmett we are tired of hearing stories," Alice whined, looking around to each of us. "Let's do something else,"

"Like what?"

Everyone was silent for a while, only the sounds of the fire cracking in front of us, but as a loud howl pierced the sky, I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Relax, the wolves decided to make a dramatic entrance," Edward spoke rolling his eyes, before gently pulling my closer to his chest, his fingers tracing shapes across my back, relaxing me.

Emmett snickered, watching over to where two wolves came slowly creeping in, Jacob walking, in his human form nonchalantly behind them. "Well look what we got here,"

Jacob rolled his eyes, walking over to us, and plopping right down by the fire, as if he was just part of the family.

"You guys ready for the fight," He smirked looking around, when his eyes reaching Edward and I he would freeze, looking tensely away.

"Oh hell yea wolf," Emmett laughed his booming laugh, which brought the other two wolves attention over to us as well.

Now I was curious, who were these wolves? I hated talk with Jacob… I mean he used to be a pretty good friend, but now… he was more of a bother.

"Hey Jake?" I muttered, glancing at him.

Edward suddenly tensed from under me as Jacob's eyes flashed up to me, an emotion dancing in his dark eyes, but he seemed to keep his expression blank.

"Yeah Bella?"

"Who…. Turned?" I said quietly nodding over to the two wolves that were standing back far from us, pacing in large circles around the whole campsite.

"That's Seth, and Embry," Jacob said with a sigh.

Now I was really thinking. I wondered how many wolves had turned… and how many more will. It was mind-blowing, and slightly sad. They didn't really have a choice, for some, their whole life could be ruined. So in a way, I truly did feel bad for Jacob… and his pack, but that's as far as my feelings went. I was in love with Edward, and I wanted to be with him forever, nothing was ever going to come in the middle of that.
