Chapter 10

Only because I love reviews and you guys! And I owe it to ya.

B P.O.V.

His eyes closed hiding the butterscotch eyes that captivated me. As I closed my eyes I could feel his body so close. Then our lips met. The same sensation that I remembered was nothing compared to this. It was as if all time stopped, as if we were the only living things on Earth. Our lips moved in sync. The time of isolation from each other seemed like long ago, or as if it never existed. Passion surged through our lips. Each movement was made out of lust. My hands climbed up his face and into his bed head hair. His hair was so soft, and I knotted my hands into it, never wanting to let go. An end to the most enjoyable part of my vampire existence (A.N. so far.) was to come to an end soon.

We both pulled away all to soon. We met each other's gaze, trying to catch our much unneeded breath. My unbeating heart was sprinting. For that moment, and that moment alone, it seemed that everything horrible that happened to me meant nothing.

Alice's abduction. Mine and his parent's deaths. His death. The separation. The Volturi. It all meant nothing to me. It was like all those things didn't exist.

"Wow." I cracked a smile at his horrible attempt to break the silence that surrounded us.

"I love you." His perfect face formed my crooked smile. The one where one side if his mouth met his eyes and the other side held more of a smirk. It took my breath away. I could do nothing but sit and stare into his beautiful face. I knew I was home.

E P.O.V.

I leaned into her, and our lips met. It was like my first kiss all over again. After isolation from this for 100 years, I couldn't believe what u missed. I remember kissing my love so long ago, but it was nothing like this. As our lips moved together, passion surged through the movements. A needing passion, a longing passion. My angel's hands crawled up my face and into my hair, as my arms found their way around her waist. All to soon we both pulled away, panting, trying to catch unneeded breath. I couldn't look away from my love's face. It was almost painful. She was my world, my everything, and I longed to have her in my arms again. We only sat there, so I decided to break the unawkward silence. "Wow." Wow. Smooth Casanova. A smile broke on her beautiful face. Her teeth glistened in the sunlight.

"I love you." Her voice was like chimes, or bells. (A.N. I couldn't resist.) I did my crooked smile that I knew she loved. She continued to look at me, and me at her. At that moment I knew I was home.

E P.O.V. (A.N. I feel like we just don't get enough of him.)

We raced through the forest and down the streets of Forks, Washington. Bella convinced me to meet her family, she already knew part of mine, and I knew so little of hers, and I wanted to know more. As we reached the porch, I was suddenly overthrown with a feeling that could only be described by, "Uh…. Why don't we see my family first? You know get reacquainted?"

"Come on you big baby." I was reassured by her oh so subtle hint to suck it up. "They won't bite…. Or at least Kassi won't" My eyes went wide as her rolled. She opened the door. "Kassi! Ben! I'm home! And there's someone I want you to m-" She was cut off by a woman an inch or two shorter, and a well built man, nothing compared to Emmett though.

"Oh my god Bells! We got a call a few hours ago saying that you left school. We were so worried! And then- Oh my god." The smaller woman, Kassi, turned to me. "Is this him?" Bella's head was furiously nodding before Kassi started her sentence.

Oh my god is he good looking! Now Bella will be happy! Wait…. What will happen? I looked at Kassi confused.

"What? Oh… did I forget to mention that Edward reads minds?" The man, Ben, broke out laughing.

"Oh this is going to be good."

"Don't even want to know…" We spent the next few hours discussing our past. Kassi and Ben were great. I was glad that Bella was in their care.

"We'll be back in a few!"

"*cough* hours cough" Smack!

We were heading back to my home. Bella really wanted to meet Esme, Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie. Plus she really missed Alice and Carlisle. I didn't really understand that until she explained.

"Even though he took you away from me doesn't give me a reason to hate him. I'm thankful he did. I mean yah it hurt a lot while you were gone, but would you be here talking to me if he didn't? We wouldn't be in this situation if he didn't change you. We would both be six feet under. But the fact that now I get to spend eternity with you sounds so much better." My Bella. Always looking on the bright side of things.

We raced through the forest area behind my home. We continued to run until a beautiful Victorian style home came into view. It was breath taking. I absolutely loved it.

"Edward. Your home. It's beautiful. I hate to admit it but, it tops your home in Chicago." I didn't mean to offend him. I looked to his face; it was a gateway to what he was thinking. The only ones ever to really be able to read Edward was me, Alice or either of his parents. He had a smile spread across his face.

"Well Esme is much like my mother was. She'll love to hear that. You know, over the years Esme became what my mother once was. She has taken the roll of my mother in my life, but she didn't take the place of her in my heart. No one ever could. I'm just kind of giving you a heads up. Alice and I have kind of taken the habit of calling her Mom. So I don't want to-"

"Edward! Relax. I know that you love your mother, and I know that this Esme must be wonderful. Trust me, anything that you may or may not call her or even Carlisle, won't bother me. I know how big of a mama's boy you were. So I don't care." Edward was oh so mature by taking my hand and squeezing it. Then continuing to stick his tongue out at me. Causing both of us to laugh. We continued to walk up the porch of his home and to the door. Before he had the chance of grabbing the doorknob, it was yanked open. There stood one (of the three people) I had been dying to see.

"ALICE!" I held me arms out and took her in my arms. Today was defiantly one of the best days in my life.

Edward P.O.V.

I watched my cousin and my love embrace in a hug. I knew how close they were. Alice was her best friend. She entrusted us with her deepest secrets, and was the one who brought us together. She meant the world to both of us.

Edward. Is that her? Alice feels so happy. I can't believe how happy all three of you feel. It feels good. I had to laugh at Jasper's thoughts. Jazz always had a way to make people laugh. He is normally quiet, but I talk to him almost as much as Alice does, only because I can read his thoughts. He looked at his wife with such compassion.

Dude, who's the new chick. She's hot. Wait. Eddie, is this your Bella? Ohh… that's why Rose got pissed after your scene in the cafeteria. Wow. NEW SISTER MUCH! Emmett could be such a 5 year old sometimes.

What is she- oh. So that's Edward's Bella. Figures. She's absolutely beautiful. Well as long as they're happy. What ever. (A.N. I always like Rosalie. So I'm going to make her nice in this story. So yah.) Rosalie was on the stairs next to Emmett watching the scene unfold. Rose is one that is proud of her appearance. I think she feels upstaged by Bella.

Oh my. What a beautiful young woman. Oh Edward she is simply beautiful. I can't wait to really meet her. I can't wait to get to know my new daughter. I smiled at Esme and she looked at me with a mix of happiness and pride in her eyes. I knew that all she really wants if for her family to be happy. And now Bella was part of that.

What is the noise- oh. Oh my. Edward. Is that who I think it is? I nodded towards him and looked back to my cousin and love. Is she, does she- I shook my head. Well what are we going to do? I shrugged. I then turned to listen to Alice's thoughts.

She's back! She's really back! Oh my god! I want to cry! Oh Edward! I want some time to catch up!

Finally the two separated. She looked around the room until she saw Carlisle. She ran to him at vampire speed and hugged him.

"Thank you Carlisle. Thank you so much. If you didn't change him. Neither of us would be here. Thank you so much. Really." Carlisle returned the hug.

"No. Thank you Bella. I thought you would hate me for taking Edward. So thank you for forgiving me. And it's good to see you." They both smiled. Bella stepped back and back into my arms. "Why don't we go to the living room-"

"Don't you mean non- living room? Or maybe even the dead room?" Smack. We all laughed.

"Sure Emmett. What ever you want to call it. So as I was saying," Carlisle paused to look at Emmett, who smiled. "Why don't we move into the OTHER ROOM," Emmett frowned. "And swap stories."

For the next hour we shared what we knew of our pasts.

"Ali, so what happened?"

"I don't really know. After I was taken it was all blurry. I mean I remember you and Edward and everyone else, but my time there, it's all fuzzy. I guess it was a good thing to. After I got out and I met the family, Edward took me back and we looked up my case. (A.N. I don't know if this is what happened, so I'm guessing.) They did tests one me. Experiments. They did electric therapy. They would strap me down and electrify me. They tried to almost drown me. It was horrible. I- I can't even explain it."

"Oh Ali." My Bella left my arms to hold her best friend. I looked to my family and signaled for them to leave. We walked to the kitchen.

"I thought they should have a moment. Alice and Bella grew up with each other. I never met Bella until later, for reasons I do not know. They need sometime to catch up. So Emmett, leave them alone."

"Wait, why call me out. Why would you think that I would…. Ok fine. I won't bother them. Geeze….." it got silent after Emmett's little, well I don't really know what to call it, but yah.

Alice P.O.V.

Bella held me in her lap. Because I could fit. Don't laugh at my size! I looked at my friend.

"Wow Bells. I thought you were beautiful before, well now, damn." She laughed. I had my best friend back.

"Me. Well you're one to talk. You're absolutely breath taking. So, tell me about Jasper. Edward told me about him. Well only that he's your mate. So, SPILL!"

"Well, I had a vision of Jasper. After I woke up after my change, I had a vision of a man that I was to meet, and then a vision of a family, with you in it. I didn't see Edward and I don't know why, but I had that vision only once. Right after I found Jasper, and that's what lead to my diet and his change to the diet."

"What?"

"You did listen to his story didn't you?"

"Well yah."

"Ok, so he drank from humans. But then I met him and he changed that, all for me."

"Awww…. Ali! That's so sweet! So tell me about him personally and your relationship."

"Well, he is the sweetest guy ever. He's so calm and quiet. He's the exact opposite of me, and yet he is perfect for me! He makes me so happy! I love him so much. We've been married 3 times. It took forever for Edward to accept it."

"Why does that not surprise me?"

" I know right? Well, Edward, the first day we showed up spent it with me, then the next day, poor Jasper was interrogated. Edward wanted to know his feelings for me, and his intentions with our relationship. It was so funny!" Bella broke out laughing with me. I was so happy about having her back. "Funny thing is, is that now they are best friends." She laughed harder.

"Leave it to Edward to be overly protective when we can take care of ourselves."

"What about you Bells? Have you found anyone else, or was it always Edward." She sighed.

"It was always Edward. I mean I was asked a few times, but I never thought of them as more then friends. So now Edward and I are dating. We aren't going to start from square one, but we aren't going to start where we left off." I smiled.

"I missed you Bells. I really did." We hugged.

Bella P.O.V.

"And this is my room." After talking with a few other family members I was given the grand tour. Edward saved his room for the last. One wall was a full window, and the other a wall of music. He had a great stereo. And a couch on one wall with books around it.

"I see you didn't give up your passions."

"I've never stopped reading. It reminded me of you. I didn't want to loose that." I smiled. He was great.

"I love you." He smiled. Next thing I knew his lips were on mine. I couldn't find a more perfect place then his arms.

"Carlisle? May I come in?" I knocked on his door. I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to make sure there were no hard feelings.

"Of course Bella." I walked into his room. It was amazing. The walls around his door were covered in pictures from his history, it was amazing. The wall behind his desk was covered with books.

"I wanted to talk to you. To make sure there were no hard feelings." He got out of his chair and walked to me.

"Really? I wanted you to know how sorry I am. I didn't mean for you to be unhappy."

"Don't. I mean I was unhappy about not knowing of Edward's location, but I have a family. And I love them. So don't think that I was completely unhappy. If you didn't change him, we would both be dead by now, and I would rather be separated from hi for 100 years and be reunited and then spend the rest of eternity with him, then to be six feet under. A year with him wasn't enough. So thank you."

"It was nothing. Thank you for forgiving me, and bringing the life back to Edward." I was taken into a hug from the man that saved my true love.
