A/N

I am so sorry that this is late! I had a ton of homework over the week, b/c my teachers are trying to shove test and quizzes down our throats before vacation starts and I had this giant project that I had to finish not to mention two essays a lab report….and you all don't really care about this…On with the chapter!

Okay so recap!! - Edward and Bella just got the necklace back from her step-mother!

Disclimer: I do not own Twilight!

--------------------------

Who is it?…You.

I smiled as I remembered when my father had given it to me, but as always my families history comes back to haunt it every couple of centuries. Unfortunately for me, it was almost time for him to be released again.

"Bella?" The sweet melody of Edward's voice rang into my ears as we rode back up to the castle.

"Hmm?" I mumbled as my gaze shifted from the window back to his beautiful face. His crooked smile once again left me mesmerized.

"Would you like to go back to the garden with me tonight?" he asked as the carriage bumped along the rode.

I smiled at him. "I would love that." I said just above a whisper not quite comprehending what I was saying since he was so close to me.

His returning smile made my heart thump against my rib cage.

-------------------------

I sighed lying down on my bed. Edward had been gone for at least two hours now, doing his princely duties, leaving me alone in the new furnished room that stood beside his own. He insisted that I have it.

I had already burned every inch of the room into my brain. The two windows separated by a silver lamp, with a light blue shade on it.

The royal blue silky sheets on the bed, light blue beaded pillows, a chestnut colored dresser.

Bright blue curtains, matching the color of the bed, lined the outside of the windows, while a door, leading to a bathroom, much like Edward's only in blue instead of red, sat next to a chestnut colored desk, with a smaller version of the lamp in the middle of it.

The floor was made of white marble, it was so shiny I could actually see my reflection in it! I looked up when I heard a door open. I expected to see Edward walk through the door to my right, which joined our two rooms, but instead I saw Esme closing the main door, that led out to the hallway.

I looked closer at what she was wearing to see that it was a maroon halter topped dress, with silver sequence decorating every inch of it, until it got to the waist where a maroon colored sash was placed held up by a circled shape diamond on the right hip, making the sash slanted.

The dress flowed down straight, and went down to the floor. A small silver crown was placed on top of her curly caramel colored locks.

"Oh! Bella there you are!….Do you like your new room, dear?" Esme asked as she came down to sit onto the bed, her dress swung behind her.

"Yes I do…Thank you for letting me stay here Queen Esme." I mumbled, a blush coming to my cheeks as she sat down on the bed. A wave of nervousness washed over me.

"Oh honey please just call me Esme!" She smiled down at me, I looked back up and gave her a quick smile of my own.

"Okay." I murmured, feeling slightly better then before. Silence followed, but not for long.

"That's a lovely necklace you have Bella. May I see it?" The queen asked, I smiled and nodded my head.

"Of course." I replied, as she reached over and held the necklace in her petite hand.

"My father gave it to me after my mother died…" I whispered, whishing once again that I could remember her when she was alive…before she was killed…

"Oh honey I'm so sorry!" Esme gasped bringing her hand over her mouth. I smiled weakly at her, as she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a hug.

"It's fine….I don't really remember her." I whispered, as she leaned back to look at me. "You're not alone you know…we all know how it's like to loose a loved one." She whispered so low that I could hardly hear it, her eyes held saddening torment in them. Just then the door flew open.

In stepped Edward in all his glory, wearing the same clothes he had on before. His eyes landed on his mother and I, raising a questionable bronze brow he closed the door behind him.

"Mother?" he asked, he glanced quickly over at me then back to her with a confused expression on his face.

"Hello dear, I was just seeing how Bella liked her new room!" Esme exclaimed, the emotion from her eyes changing, as she beamed from head to toe standing up. "It was very nice talking to you Bella, we must do it again sometime!" She said, hugging me once more before she turned and went out the door.

Edward's gaze shifted to me then, his eyes flashed with amusement as he came and sat down next to me. "I hope she wasn't too much trouble." he said, trying not to laugh.

"Oh shut up!" I laughed, playfully smacking his arm. He leaned over and grabbed my hands, pulling me closer to him, all amusement in his eyes gone.

"Make me…" He whispered in my ear, making me shiver with delight, as my cheeks burned. I leaned back and looked into his eyes.

They glowed with amusement as he stared into mine, but the emotion soon vanished when he realized how close we were to each other.

My heart was about to burst out of my chest when he leaned over to me, and closed his eyes. I did the same.

Our lips were an inch apart, when the door squeaked open again. We pulled away abruptly blushing furiously, not daring to look at each other.

Instead I looked at the man at the door. He wore a white dress shirt and black pants, a silver necklace with a sappier colored circle sat in the middle of it, hanging from his neck . His hair was a light golden color, it was placed neatly on the top of his head, as bright brown eyes smiled at me.

"Hello there." He said in a gentle voice. I gasped, when I saw the small insignia of a lion imprinted into the jewel of the medallion. Only one person had a necklace like that and it was King Carlisle…Edward's father.

"Um…" I was in shock to say the least, he looked almost like Edward only older with brown eyes and blondish colored hair.

"Father, this is Isabella." Edward said as the man crossed the room, Edward and I stood up at the same time making me blush. "Isabella this is my father." his eyes held amusement in them as he glanced over at me.

"It's very nice to meet you Isabella." King Carlisle said, taking my hand in his and giving it a soft kiss, just like Edward had done.

I smiled at him. "I hear you're going to be staying with us?" he questioned, letting my hand go. I nodded. "…I-If it's okay with you… I wouldn't want to intrude…" I mumbled, my eyes downcast to the floor.

"Oh of course you're not! You're very welcomed to stay here Isabella." he said, a smile came across his face. "My wife and I have waited forever for Edward to find someone!" The king exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air in mock anger.

Edward stiffened beside me as he glanced down towards me. I blushed and looked away from his deep green eyes.

The king saw this little exchange and smiled knowingly. "Well I best be off, I have a lot of work to do…" He said, nodding to the both of us, before walking out the door.

After a minute of silence Edward cleared his throat, making me look up at him. "What do you say we go and have some lunch?" he said, desperately trying to change the topic, winning me over with a crooked smile that was plastered onto his face.

I nodded my head. "Okay." I said, blushing as my stomach growled. He laughed and took my hand in his, leading me out the door.

---------

It was almost night time, and as Edward promised he had taken me back to the garden. He led me over to a swing that was right by a small pound. He forced me to sit next to him, pulling my arm down, not that I was complaining.

We talked for hours until I noticed the stars in the sky. The garden was lit up with lights.

"Bella?" His voice sung into my head. "Yes?" I breathed, gazing up into the stars, his jacket was over my shoulders, protecting me from the cold night air.

"Have you ever been in love before?" Edward asked, my body stiffened at that question. I'm in love right now….

"Not before…" I mumbled, my eyes shifted to the grass on the ground. "W-What about you?" I asked, my heart scared for his answer.

He stayed quiet for a while, thinking. "…I think I might be in love with someone right now…" he whispered, I looked up, my heart sinking as I did so.

"Oh." Was my only reply, agony filled my entire being in more ways than one.

"But I don't know how to tell her…I mean I only met her a day ago…." He trailed off looking up into the stars. I tried to keep my voice even.

"Then how do you know you love her?" I asked. Ha! Like I should be the one talking!

"I don't know I just…I just know…" He said, his eyes gazed into mine now, I fought back tears.

"…Every time I see her my heart speeds up and I have to remember how to breathe. It's like she's put me in a trance that I don't want to get out of." He said, his eyes filled with love, as he pushed a strand of hair away from my face, tucking it behind my ear.

"W-Who is it?" I asked, I don't even know why I had. It would only break me further if I knew her name.

He looked me deep into the eyes, and put a finger underneath my chin, tilting it upwards. "You." My heart started to race as he leaned towards me, his eyes closing.
