Hello my little TwiHards!

Thank you for reading my last chapter, I love you all very much and as I said, I'm trying to update as much as I can. So, this is Chapter 11!

Previously on New Bella, New Life:

...Alice arose slowly and gave me a quick smile.

"I'm happy for you two." She said and walked toward the stairs. "I have a headache. I'm sorry."

Edward looked down at me with a furrowed brow and looked after his twin.

"I'll go and speak to her." He said and kissed me quickly.

Well, I've made Alice cranky... That's not what I wanted. Not at all.

Edward POV:

I walked into Alice's room and found her on her bed with her head in her hands.

"Alice," I said softly as I sat down next to her. "What's wrong? Have we made you mad?"

Alice pulled her head out of her hands to look me in the eye. Her eyes were red and brimming with tears. Her eyes searched mine and a tear fell down her cheek.

"No, Edward." She eventually whispered. "I'm not mad. I'm upset that you had kept this from me for so long. We're twins, Edward. We tell each other everything and knowing that Jasper knew and didn't tell me hurts, too."

I watched as Alice let the tears fall freely now. I had betrayed my twin sister and my best friend for my own selfishness.

"I'm sorry, Alice." I said quietly. "Bella and I just wanted to see where it went before we said anything. I didn't plan for Jasper to know, he found us in a very... Compromising position."

"And Emmett knew?" Alice said as she looked down at her entwined fingers.

"Yes."

"I guess he found out too, did he?" Alice whisper-yelled exasperated.

Alice had adopted a sarcastic tone to her voice, her defence mechanism.

"Yes." I said in a small voice. I put my hand on my twin's knee. "He saw us in the pool the weekend mom and dad were away."

"Why couldn't I see this, Edward?" Alice cried, frustrated that she couldn't foresee this.

"I'm not too sure, Al." I hugged her close. "I'm sorry I kept it from you. But it's out now. Bella is my girlfriend and now she's a part of the family."

I felt Alice nod from beneath my arms. I knew how to cheer her up.

"I'm sure if you ask Bella," I said in a reassuring tone. "She will be more than happy to let you take her shopping. I mean, she does feel bad about upsetting you and I'm sure she will make it up to you any way you want."

Alice shoved me away from her and looked at me with expectant eyes.

"Really!?" Her smile was as bright as the sun.

I nodded with a smile on my face and watched her race out of her room. I followed her down the stairs and watched her grill my Bella.

Bella POV:

I sat down next to Rosalie on the floor with our backs leaning against the couch. She put her arm around me and pulled me close to her side.

"Alice will be fine, Bella." She whispered as she moved her thumb in circles on my arm.

"I hope so, Rose." I sighed and leaned my head on her shoulder.

Carlisle stood up and took Esme's wine glass for a refill. He looked at me with warm eyes and then walked into the kitchen. I kissed Rose on the cheek as a thank you for comforting me and followed Carlisle into the kitchen.

"Excuse me, Carlisle?" I asked in a small voice.

"Yes, Bella?" Carlisle smiled as her poured the wine into the two glasses.

"May I please ask you something?" I walked around the breakfast bar and sat on a stool.

"Anything, Bella." Carlisle smiled as he closed the fridge.

"What did Alice mean by her seeing things?" I rested my chin on entwined fingers in order to give off a casual vibe.

"Well, Bella." Carlisle smiled but his eyebrows furrowed. "Alice has dreams and those dreams, 99% of the time come true. It's very unusual that Alice didn't see yours and Edward's relationship as she is so attuned to Edward."

"Wow." I said in astonishment. "Do any of the others have a gift like that?"

Carlisle shifted uncomfortably and looked toward the glass doors behind me.

"Yes," He whispered. "Both Jasper and Edward are gifted as well."

"Edward?" I said, surprised.

"Yes," Carlisle chuckled. "I'll tell you about Jasper's gift but I'll let Edward tell you about his."

"Okay," I eagerly agreed.

"You're very eager for information, Bella." Carlisle shook his head with a smile on his face. "Jasper can manipulate emotions. It's very strange. If there is an intense argument between his siblings, he can manipulate the way they are feeling. One minute they are all fired up at each other, Jasper just relaxes his body and everyone else relaxes. You'll have to watch one time, it's excellent to watch."

I smile at this new found information.

"Thank you, Carlisle." I smile at him warmly.

"You're very welcome, Bella." He mirrors my smile and then moves his head to motion for me to follow him.

I got up from where I was sitting and followed him out into the lounge where I took my seat next to Rosalie again. She smiled at me squeezed my knee. We were watching the boys play their game when Alice came bolting down the stairs at top speed. She fell to her knees in front of my and smiled.

"Hello, Bella." She smiled sweetly. "Edward said that you will come shopping with me because you feel bad for upsetting me."

I looked toward Edward and he smiled my favourite half smile, shrugged and mouthed sorry to me apologetically.

"Yes, Alice." I smiled back at her. "It's the least I can do to make it up to you."

"Excellent." Alice clapped her hands together in excitement. "Perhaps this weekend?"

"Actually, Alice." Edward spoke for the first time he descended the stairs. "I have plans for Bella and I this weekend."

This was the first I heard about these plans. I looked at Edward and he blushed. Oh my.

"We'll figure it out some other time." Alice smiled. "Thank you, Bells."

I smiled at Alice and hugged her tightly. I never want to see my best friend- The Psychic- upset ever again.

It was late when Edward drove me home. He held my hand on his knee the whole way home, humming to the tune on the radio.

"Edward?" I ask quietly, not wanting to disturb the beautiful sound coming from his throat.

"Yes, baby?" He smiled at me.

"I spoke to your dad about something tonight."

"Oh?" He cocked his eyebrow in surprise. "And what might that be?"

"Your gift."

"Ah," He smiled a small smile. "Yes, I knew he would have told you about that."

"He didn't." My voice was small. "He wanted you to tell me."

"Oh." He sounded surprised. "And I'm guessing you would like to know?"

I watched a smile play on his lips.

"Yes, please." I pulled his hand to my lips and kissed his knuckles.

"Well," Edward's voice was wary and small. "I can hear thoughts..."

He let the words hang in the air for a moment before speaking again.

"When I am attuned to someone, like my family for instance. I can hear their thoughts when they think them. But you... You I cannot hear. I am attuned to you physically but mentally..."

He let his hand wave in the air in front of him to show that he got nothing from my head.

"Is that normal?" I whispered as I watched him. "For my thoughts not to be heard?"

"You just found out that your boyfriend can read minds and you think that you're not normal because he cannot hear them?" Edward asked in disbelief.

I shrugged and smiled at him. He shook his head and pulled the car over onto the kerb in front of my house.

"You are extraordinary, Bella." He said as he kissed my palm. "Shall I walk you to the door?"

I nodded, feeling fatigued suddenly. I watched Edward as he got out of the car and walked to my side and opened up the door for me. He walked me to the door with his arm around my shoulders. We stopped at the front door. The porch light was on for me. I could hear Charlie's faint snores coming from his bedroom. Edward stepped forward, ran his knuckles down my cheek and leaned down to kiss me.

I stood on my toes to reach him and then I felt his hands on my backside to lift me to reach his lips. I wrapped my legs around him and let my hands travel up his neck and into his hair. I knotted my fingers at the back of his head and pulled him close.

"Bella..." Edward growled. "Let's not do this."

He put me down and held my face in his hands.

"I love you." He whispered. "Let's wait."

I nodded in agreement.

"I love you too, Edward." I kissed his lips softly. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, my Bella." Edward said as he watched me walk into my house.

I walked up the stairs to my room, washed up and then laid in bed with all of the information running through my head. I fell asleep amongst the swirl of newfound information.
