I thought it might make you happy if I wrote this really quickly. Yay or Nay?
Edwards point of view. HORRAH!

Chapter 10
Edwards Point of View (Everybody cheer!)
I knew I had a lot of making up to do. I had to prove to Bella and Stephen that I meant what I said and I really did love them. I barely survived leaving Bella the first time. I would die instantly if that ever happened again.
I wasn't leaving. That was a promise.
I knew there was a chance that Stephen would pick up who I was and I knew he may hate me for not being there. He was very perceptive, just like Bella. I sighed
My beautiful Bella had grown. She was now a full grown woman. Her hips were slightly wider. Her breasts fuller… it somehow made her more perfect. She was a goddess. Always was, always would be.
I knew I would never be good enough for her. I never was. But I couldn't leave her. I wanted, no, needed her to be mine. I couldn't live without her.
I would do anything she asked as long as she was with me and safe.
Stephen. I sighed. I use to have fantasies about having a family with Bella. I thought with me being a vampire it would be impossible. Never in my most wild dreams did I think it could ever come true.
I had a son. Not just any son either. I had a son with my beautiful Bella. He had her beautiful chocolate brown eyes and button nose. His lips were full like hers. But not as full.
They were my life. My everything. I would do anything to be with them. And that is exactly what I was going to do.
Starting with Stephen. I had told Bella that I should talk to him. I needed him to understand my point of view.
I knocked on his door.
"Go away" he sobbed, his voice muffled. I sighed and opened the door slightly peering in.
There were baseball posters around the room. Toys and sport equipment in a box in the corner, his bed and wardrobe. I smiled. I loved Bella's simplicity. Alice would have put all sorts of decorative items through it.
Stephen was lying on his stomach on his bed. His face in buried in his pillow. I sighed and walked in. I closed the door and slid my body down it until I hit the floor. I didn't want to intimidate him.
"Why are you here?" he growled
"I came to apologize and explain my actions. To you they may seem selfish and vile. To me, it seemed the best option to protect Bella from my kind" His head shot up.
"I forgot Dr. Cullen said you could read minds…" he mumbled "Did you want to keep mummy away from the bad people?" he asked curiously
"Well not just the bad, the good as well" I sighed "Even the good people of my kind make mistakes. Fatal ones" I whispered
"Jasper almost made one with Bella. That's when I finally decided to leave for her protection" I said sadly.
It wasn't Jaspers fault. It was mine. I had brought her into my world. Put her in danger. I had almost killed her. On more than one occasion.
But how did Stephen know about my powers unless he knew about my kind?
"Do you know what I am Stephen?" I whispered looking him directly in the eyes
"You're special. Like me" he whispered "Bad people want to take us and use our powers. That's why we can't use them" he sighed
"Yes. But, there is a difference between you and I" I added. He had a power? What was it?
He looked confused. I stood up, pulled a curtain back slightly and placed my hand under the light rays seeping through the clouds.
"You sparkle!" he exclaimed "Why do you sparkle?"
"Do you sparkle Stephen?" I asked nervously. I didn't want him to be subjected to living in darkness.
"No. But why do you?" he pushed
"Your Mother is human. I am not" I said "I am known as a 'cold one'." I sighed "You may know me more commonly as a vampire" He started laughing out loud.
"You're not a vampire!" he stopped laughing "You're out in the day. You exposed yourself to the sun!" his voice annoyed for being lied too. I chuckled. He was just like Bella.
"The vampires you see in movies are stereotypical" I stated
"What?" he seemed confused.
"It is an oversimplified opinion. The vampire stereotype is used for entertainment. Real vampires aren't like that" I clarified
"So what is a vampire?" he whispered. Still not believing me
"We no longer have a beating heart. We don't need to breathe or eat… human food at least" I pulled a face of disgust
"What do you eat?" he asked concerned, looking at the door, but staying there
"Do you trust me alone with you?" I queried
"Only because mummy trusts you" he murmured
"We drink blood, however" I exclaimed "I drink animal blood. Some drink from humans. They have red eyes. Animal drinkers have gold eyes" I pointed to my colour
"There the same as Emmett's and Dr. Cullen's" he observed. I smiled
"All of the Cullen's are vampires. They are my family. Not biologically though. We all kind of adopted each other" I pointed out
He pondered for a moment "Do you all have powers?" he whispered
"No, not really. It is believed that our strongest quality from human life was strengthened in our vampire life. Like Emmett and his strength. I was always good at reading people. So now I read minds" this conversation was flowing easy enough. Maybe my dream wouldn't be impossible like I thought. Maybe I could be a family with Bella and Stephen.
I hoped so.
"How are you out during the day?" he thought
"The sun doesn't burn me; we just can't go out in the sun because we sparkle. It would be obvious we are different" I replied. He nodded in understanding
"What else?"
"Well, we don't have coffins. We actually don't need sleep. We are also all pale and our eyes turn darker when we are going thirsty." It was better if he knew this from the beginning
"Why should I believe this?" he pointed out
"Because it's the truth" I replied
"I'm asking mum" he said. Trying to catch my bluff. Too bad it wasn't a bluff.
It was silent for a minute. Until I heard Bella running up the stairs.
"Edward! What are you telling him!" she screamed.
What the…?
She opened the door, her eyes full of concern. Stephen looked at her.
She bit her lip "What exactly has he told you" she mumbled
It was silent for a few more minutes until Bella sighed.
"I wasn't planning on telling you until you were older. But yes, he is a vampire. That's why you're not quite the same as anyone else."
It went silent again.
"As far as I know. You're the only one" she replied, kneeling in front of him
"What's going on?!" I asked. What was happening?
Bella just looked at me and looked back at Stephen. "Do you want to tell him?" she asked.
A second later she nodded her head
I can send people my thoughts and memories
I jumped slightly. I was in a house with two minds that I couldn't penetrate. I didn't expect to hear their thoughts suddenly. It was like someone decided to suddenly scream in your ear. But, he sent me his thoughts? Interesting
"Why can't I hear you're thoughts until you send them to me? Apart from Bella. No one else has had there mind hidden before" I whispered. He shrugged.
I guess he took that part of Bella with him too. Bella would always be a mystery to me and now Stephen would too. It made me slightly sad. They deserved their privacy, but that didn't mean I didn't want to know what they were thinking.
Stephen looked up at me Just because you have a reason doesn't mean you're forgiven or welcome back. He gave Bella a hug before heading down stairs.
"What was that about? Why did you tell him you're a vampire?" she whispered
"He deserves to know. He's perceptive like you Bella. He would eventually figure it out. It would be better to be honest with him. That way at least he knows why he's different" I whispered in return.
"I hope you're right" she mumbled
"Bella, you wanted to know" I pointed out "He is a lot like you. I believe he would want to know, just like you" she nodded slightly, but was still nervous.
"I want to be here for both of you Bella" I sighed
She nodded slightly. My heart felt like it was about to beat
"Edward… I know that's what you say you want. But I don't trust that you won't leave again and Stephen has made it obvious he doesn't trust you" she sighed
"If you really truly want to be… part of this family" she was wording her words carefully "Then it will be a long hard road and I can't promise that at the end we will be a happy family because I can't see that happening" she pointed out
"Bella, I will do everything in my power to help you and Stephen along in your lives.
I'm here to stay Bella. Forever" I whispered the last word.
"We'll see" I heard her barely speak
She would see and so would Stephen. I would give them anything they needed or wanted. I would be anything they needed or wanted. I would do anything if it meant I could stay with them.
"Maybe you should go home tonight" Bella said to me. I raised my eyebrows about to disagree but she cut me off
"It's been a long day Edward. We all need to take a little time to ourselves to think things through. Stephen especially. He needs space." She sighed "And so do I. So please. Just for tonight, go visit Esme. I bet she's dying to actually spend more than five minutes with you"
She was right. Bella was always right. I should have listened to her. I should have stayed with her. But I will now. I owe her that and much more.
"Okay" I whispered. I kissed her forehead again before leaving towards the front door.
"Oh Edward, two things." Bella called after me. I turned to look at her.
"One, can you hold off the touching and kissing my forehead please?" I sighed and nodded. I didn't want to, but this was for Bella. I could do that for her.
"Two, thank you for dinner. It was lovely" she whispered and smiled warmly at me. I smiled back
"Thank you" I whispered back before leaving
I smiled as I walked out. I was determined. I was ready. I was willing.
I was going to get Bella and Stephen back. Even if it was the last thing I did.
Good or Bad? Let me know.
By the way, how'd I go in EPOV. Should I do another?
