Ok so sorry it has taken me a little while to update. I have two kids, go to college full-time, and I started a new job this week, so my biggest apologies that I haven't gotten this chapter up sooner. I want to ask a question and please give me some feedback. I got a review asking if there was going to be a James POV? What do you guys think, should there be a future James point of view? Maybe a couple different ones? I have thought about it but really want your feedback on if you would like that or not. Please let me know! Ok so I am really liking adding a song to each chapter so for this one, Incubus "Echo". Now that I have spoke enough let's get it on….I do not own the characters sadly but oh I wish I did!

I'm sitting in the lawyer's office that Edward suggested looking thru a magazine. I can't believe I am actually going to get this divorced started and then once it's done it can just be Edward and I. No more James ever again. I know I will never forget what happened in that part of my life but I feel great knowing that my life will be amazingly different from now on.

Edward left yesterday morning and to say I was upset would be an understatement. He kissed me lovingly for twenty minutes before his flight. He caressed my face gently and repeated the words that make me float over and over.

"I love you Bella, so much. Words can't describe how you make me feel. You have made me so happy. I wish I didn't have to go but I will be back soon. Just a couple of months to get everything tied up and I will be back to you. My official start date at the hospital is exactly two months from now. Two months and I will be in your arms again where I expect to be forever."

He kissed me over and over again and repeated the words "I love you" and "Two months" in between kisses.

We are going to talk and text everyday of the two months. I cried so hard last night when we came home. Esme comforted me and held me. We drank some wine as she told me funny stories of Edward growing up. I laughed so hard at one point I almost peed me pants. We talked about Edward jr and how much she wished the situation could have been different. We of course talked about Edward and I and I was happy that Esme was so glad we found each other. She said "Fate and destiny work hand in hand Bella, it was destiny for you two to be together, and it was fate that made it happen."

Her words made me think how it really was true. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with Edward. He makes me so happy and I truly love him more than myself. It's that fairytale love that you assume is fairytale. Now that I have found Edward I realize it is not, it can happen and it has to me. I wonder how I got so lucky, to find Edward and fall so hard for him but having him so the same is why I am so lucky.

The last two weeks went by to fast before he had to leave. Not that he didn't plan plenty of things for us to do before he left. We had so much fun and I haven't felt this free and happy ever in my life.

Oh the skiing now that was funny. Tell me how Edward thinks me and my lack of balance and skies go together. We went down the hill once. Well actually I fell and tumbled down but hey I tried. We laughed so hard when Edward said that he didn't think the bunny hill would be my demise but was he ever wrong. Yes you heard right I was on the bunny hill. The kids were flying past me while I tumbled head over feet and got a massive bruise on my butt.

We cuddled up on a bench and drank hot chocolate and just talked about everything. Our families, school, friends, all the aspects of our life that were important to us. I loved just sitting in his arms talking about everything good and bad and feeling comfortable.

If the skiing wasn't enough he thought ice skating would be fun. Ha had he not learned yet that I am accident prone. There doesn't even have to be anything in front of me for me to trip and he wanted me to get on ice skates. I feel a few times but the best part was when Edward was skating backwards holding my hands and pulling me along. He hit a divot in the ice and fell backwards pulling me with him. I landed on top of him laughing so hard because finally somebody else feel other than me.

"Are you laughing at me, humm?"

"Oh my God Edward that was so funny, finally I wasn't the one to fall. You should have seen your face, that was so funny."

I laid on top of him laughing as he chuckled underneath me. Then I felt his lips on mine and the laughing stopped right away. "I love when you laugh, I hope I can make you laugh everyday for the rest of our lives. You are so carefree and happy right now Bella and I hope I can always make you feel this way."

I cut him off my leaning in and licking his bottom lip with my tongue. He opened his mouth and we deepened the kiss. It was so funny there were people all around us skating but it was like they disappeared. It was just him and I laying here on the ice kissing like teenagers. It was amazing and I will go ice skating everyday if it is like this every time.

We went out for dinners and cuddled every night in bed. We hadn't made love since that first night. I knew Edward wanted to take things slow but I knew how much he loved me and I just wanted to be connected to him in every way. Not to mention I knew after that first time I could never get enough of Edward Cullen. I wanted him all day every day. He would brush up against me and I could feel the heat settle between my legs. I wanted him so bad but he was insistent that we wait till we are ready. I don't know about him but I was certainly ready more than ready I was well let's just say I thought about it a lot.

I decided that he was leaving in the morning and he would be gone for two months and I just couldn't wait anymore. I pulled on cute pair of maroon cheekies and a sexy lacy black tank top and lit candles all over the bedroom. I pulled my hair out of the ponytail holder and let it drape down my shoulders. I put on some soft piano music in the background and thru on some lip gloss. I laid on the bed and waited for Edward to come up.

I must have fallen asleep because I was having the most incredible dream of Edward and I. He was softly caressing my body and placing light kisses all over me. My hands immediately went to his hair as a soft moan slipped thru my lips. He was at my neck kissing and nipping with his teeth and I was wet immediately. "Bella wake up I will stop if you keep sleeping."

What I know I am sleeping but those words were in my ear and I realized that I was not dreaming Edward was doing all these things for real. My eyes popped open and they were met with his green eyes that were clouded over with lust. He leaned in and kissed me softly running his fingers thru my hair while he kissed me made me even hotter.

I pushed him up and slowly pulled his shirt off. He then pulled my tank off and we laid back down. my chest on his and the heat we created felt so good. We just kissed and touched each other for what seemed like hours. Just reveling in each other's kisses and touches. I puched him back up again and softly ran my finger inside his boxers from one hip to the other. I pulled them down slowly before I grabbed him. He looked down at me and put his hands in my hair.

"Bella you don't have t…"

I kept my eyes connected on his as I slowly took him into my mouth. He watched as I went all the way down and came back up twirling my tongue around him as I did. He started to pull his hand away from my head.

"Don't I like it there show me how you want me to…"

His hands tightened into my hair and he pushed lightly setting me at a rhythm that he enjoyed. I never took my eyes from his as he watched me take him in and out of my mouth. I saw his eyes roll back and I knew he was going to cum. I grabbed his thighs so he knew I wanted him to stay in my mouth. I wanted to taste Edward, all of him. My name rolled off his tongue as he came. His thrusts became slower and then he stopped. I looked up at him with him still in my mouth and I slowly let go with a little 'pop'.

He gently pushed me back down on the bed and went to my hips. he kissed each one softly and licked from one to the other along the curve of my stomach. He gently locked his fingers in my underwear and slowly pulled them down. He traced my legs with licks and kisses on the way back up and I felt as though I was about to combust. He looked up at me with his sideways smile and dipped his head in between my legs.

"Never…never has anyone ever made me feel like you Edward. It feels like the first time all over again. Only you Edward, you are the only one for me."

I felt him smile against me as he continued to dip his tongue into me and lick and suck at my clit. I felt his fingers at my entrance as he nibbled on my clit and pushed them in. I bucked my hips into his hand and just came apart. My body convulsed as the wave of my orgasm took over me. Edwards name fell from my lips as I shook and melted into the bed.

He crawled back up my body and kissed me. I could taste him and myself in my mouth now and it was amazing. you two mixed together was perfect, just like Edward and I together were.

"I'm ready Edward, I need you….please." The words fell from my lips when I felt the tip of him right where I needed it.

As he slowly pushed into me he said "I love you Bella."

We made sweet love slowly just giving and taking from each other. It felt amazing to have Edward in me and I can't think of anything I have ever experienced that would even begin to amount to how it felt when I was consumed fully by him. We both came panting each other's names and then he just held me as I drifted off into sleep hearing "I love you's" as sleep overtook.

"Aro will see you now."

I walked into the office, shook Aro's hand, and sat down.

"So Bella I hear you are a good friend of the Cullen's?" he said

"Yes they told me that you could help me."

:Edward told me about what happened with your husband, my sincere apologies to you Bella."

"I really just want to forget it all and move on with my life. I want to be divorced from him as soon as possible."

"Well I already started the papers and we just need to speak about what you want from the marriage."

"Listen Aro, to be completely honest I want nothing. I have everything I need here and everything from him would just be a bad memory. He can have it all, I just want it to be over."

"I understand completely Bella, I will get the papers worked up and you'll have to stop by to sign them then I will contact James for him to sign. I will make this as fast and as painless as possible for you Bella."

"Thank you Aro I appreciate all your help."

We talked about a few more things and then shook hands again as I left. I felt like I was on a high. Knowing that this mess would soon be over felt great. I was walking thru the city just enjoying the sites. I really like Seattle. It is a lot like Chicago but different in many ways too. I stopped at windows and looked in them. I walked around in the park watching the kids play hoping that someday I would be there with Edward watching our children run around and play.

I noticed when I came across the office of The Seattle Times. I had a degree in advertising and writing and I got excited thinking about working for them. I walked thru the front doors and went to the receptions desk. A woman who looked like the epitome of the word bitch was yapping on the phone aimlessly.

"Excuse miss, I was wondering where your HR department was?"

"Hold on Mike, What exactly can I help you with."

"The HR department, I wanted to know where it was." I said a little harsh, but she deserved it…Bitch!

"Down the hall and to the left" she sneered back.

"Thanks."

I walked down the hall looking a t the plaques from awards the paper had won. It would be amazing to work with them and thank God I just happened to have a resume with me. I figured I would look around for a job while I was here, but never thought I would actually get hired at a place like this.

I walked into the room and I nice older woman came towards me.

"Hello how can I help you?"

"Umm hi my name is Bella Swan and I was just wanting to drop off a resume. I recently moved here and I am looking for a job."

She took my resume and looked at for a few minutes. My palms were sweating and I felt really nervous. This was like a dream job and not being prepared right now was not helping my nerves.

"Well Bella you have some great achievements in the small time you have been working. I see you had a couple articles in the New York Times."

"Yes I lived in Chicago but I wrote a few articles for The New York Times on the side."

Listen we are looking for a writer/editor, I think you would fit in nicely. Let me speak with my colleagues and I will get back to you very soon. Could I get your current address and phone number so I can reach you when we have a decision?"

I gave her my information and walked out smiling with hope that I would get a phone called soon.

One down fifty more boxes to go. I was slowly packing up my apartment trying to get things packed that I wouldn't need for the next two months. Leaving Bella at the airport yesterday was so hard. I never wanted to let her go, I just wanted to keep kissing her. The plane ride was filled with thoughts of Bella and I and how much fun we had before I left. Only two months and I would be starting at the hospital in Seattle. Far from Chicago and the memories it held. Back in the arms of Bella where is the only place I want to be.

Last night was amazing. I watched her sleep mumbling every now and then about turning the bushes off. I laughed listening to her but my heart skipped a beat when she murmured "I love you Edward soon we'll be back together." I knew this wasn't easy for either of us but it was so hard leaving her. The pull that this woman had on me was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Being away from her made me feel physically ill.

I've been gone for two weeks now and it is still just as hard as the first five minutes away from her. We talk multiple times a day on the phone and when I am at work we text back and forth constantly. She and Esme have been keeping busy which makes me so happy. I am so glad she is happy spending time with my mother. They bonded and were fast becoming best friends. I heard my phone ringing and jumped up to grab it. "Private call humm that's weird" I thought to myself.

"Hello….hello is anyone there."

"She's mine Cullen" the voice said and the phone went dead.

James that fucking bastard. I wondered if he had gotten the papers yet. Bella had called me that day and she was so happy to have gotten the ball rolling on her divorce. She was so much stronger than she gave herself credit for. I was so proud of her for taking this step and by getting the divorce, it made things between her and I's future seem a lot more clear. My phone was ringing again, Bella.

"Hello"

"Oh my God Edward guess what."

"Umm you love me?"

"Well of course but ok listen I didn't want to tell you this because I didn't want to jinx it but listen after I talked to the lawyer I was walking around the city just taking in the scenes. Anyway I stopped in front of the Seattle Times and decided what the hell I would drop of my resume. I talked to this woman named Jane and she said she was impressed with me. She just called back and offered me the job Edward."

"Bella that is great, when do you start, I am so proud of you."

"Next week on Monday. Edward they offered me a great hire package. Benefits, phenomenal pay, vacation time the whole nine yards I am so excited. I couldn't wait to call you."

"This is amazing I am so happy for you. Bella you will do great, you are amazing and it is about time you start recognizing it. o what is the job?"

I will be writing and doing editing right underneath the chief editor which is Jane. Edward people work for a long time to get to positions like this I can't believe it. I guess your right about me."

"What do you mean?"

"I need to believe in myself more like you do. Edward this wouldn't even have happened if not for you and I just…well..Thank you for helping me to see what I hadn't in a very long time."

"Bella I'm glad you are finally starting to see yourself clearly. You will do a great job. I wish I was there to celebrate with you. I want to hold you and hug you and kiss you right now so bad."

"I know but we are down to a month and a half Edward, only six more weeks and we'll be together again. I thought it would hurt a little less after a week or so but I still miss you so much. Hopefully now that I will be working time will go by fast because I really miss you:

"I don't deserve you, you know that right. I love you so much Bella and I miss you so much too. I know what you're saying about the hurt, I feel it every day."

"Oh I think you don't see yourself very clearly because I really don't deserve you silly. Soon six weeks, we can do this."

"Well for the sake of an argument" I chuckled "How about we both deserve each other very much. We were made for each other in every sense of the word."

"I agree very much, I'm yours. You're stuck with me now."

"Well touché Bella"

"Oh your moms home I want to tell her about the job, I'll call you tonight before bed to play ok"

"Play humm sounds good baby I'll talk to you then. I love you."

"Love you to baby, only you!"

I set my phone down and smiled thinking about Bella and our conversation made me miss her more but I felt an overwhelming sense of pride for her. This job would be great for her. She needs this to move on with her life so that maybe one day she can see the strength she posses. I just can't wait to have her in my arms tonight.

~~~~~*~~~~~

Only three weeks left and I am literally counting down the minutes. Bella is loving her job and fitting in there perfectly. She has been busy trying to make sure everything is done perfect and it makes me laugh. Bella puts herself in 100% when she does anything and her thinking she is not doing good enough is preposterous but there's no talking to her so I just let her. There's the phone.

"Hello"

"You know what I think this is so sweet"

"Excuse me"

"Oh you rescuing Bella, Ha have you fucked her yet?

"Fuck you"

"Hey I'm just saying I know how fucking good she is just wondering if you are sleeping with my wife or not. Do you make her scream your name, ask for more, fuck asking do you make her beg for it Edward?"

"You are sick stay the hell away from Bella she is with me now. She doesn't want you and you need to get that straight now."

"Oh is that so well considering I am still her husband which you aren't I believe that gives me the right to do with her as I please. Is she enjoying Seattle? From the pictures I got she seems to be happy. She looks a little sad though like she misses something or someone. I knew she would miss me, but she won't have to much longer."

"You fucking come near her and I swear to God I will kill you. You hear me James I will fucking kill you."

"Edward are you threating me?"

"Your damn right I am but I wouldn't consider it a threat more like a promise if you go anywhere near her."

"Oh is little Edward in love? Well fuck you she is mine and I will have her back soon enough. I just wanted you to know that she will be where she belongs soon enough. For now the pictures will have to do until I pay her a little visit."

"Oh I see you must have gotten the papers, having your wife tracked down are you James? Well just so you know yes I am in love with Bella and she is in love with me. She hates you and you will never be a part of her life again. Our life together will have nothing to do with you."

"I'll keep that in mind Edward but only when I have her begging me for more. I will remember your petty little words. You think she will be scared knowing what I am going to do to her for her little affair she had."

"You won't touch her ever again James. I've already warned you and I hope you take it. Stay away from Bella and stay away from me."

"I'll keep in mind your little warning, but Edward…I'll see you both soon."

The phone went dead and the rage and fear flowing thru my body was taking me over. Rage because this sick fuck was having Bella followed. Fear for Bella. Someone was following her and I wasn't here to protect her. I jumped on the phone and got the next flight to Seattle. I called the hospital and told them I had an emergency at home and would not be able to finish my last three weeks there.

Before I knew it I was on the plane just wanting to get to Bella. Make sure she was safe. I considered taking her away but running will not work. This guy is sick and he will not give up. I just want to be home to pull Bella into my arms and know that she is safe.

I pulled up in front of the house and jumped out of the car. I ran into the house and found My mom and dad and Bella watching a movie. Bella jumped off the couch and ran to me.

"Edward what's wrong? What are you doing here, I mean you still have three weeks left. Edward what is wrong you don't look right."

I saw my parents walk over to us

"Bella it's James he has been watching you. He called me, he's not letting you go. I had to get to you to make sure you were safe. We are going to figure this out Bella I promise I will keep you safe."

I watched the panic attack start and I knew Bella was scared…more than scared she was terrified. She fell to the floor and started gasping for air. The only words from her mouth was

"He'll kill me, he's going to kill me."
