"Karaoke?" Jasper asked. Alice squealed and nodded. And Bella and I shook our heads at the same time. "Ugh fine! Bowling alley?"
"Sure… lets go to Dine N' Bowl because I'm hungry as hell." I said putting my arm on Bella shoulder and pulling her closer.
I'm pretty sure I seem more confident on the outside than I am on the inside. But she doesn't seem to care so I'm gonna keep going.
Jasper nodded and turned up the radio now that our conversation was over and Bella leaned over and spoke into my ear.
"You wanna see me in a hospital tonight?" She asked teasingly.
"No!" I whispered in her ear. I want to see you in my bed tonight. That thought caused me to pause for a bit before I kissed her neck and continued. "Why would that happen anyway?"
"You are taking a person who trips over nothing. Back where I used to live I was on first name basis with half the people at the hospital." She laughed and I joined her.
"I want let you fall." I whispered in her ear as we pulled up. She shivered and looked at me through her lashes. Pants tightening! Shit that hurts! "You cold?" I asked. Why is my voice all deep and shit?
"Not really." She responded. "Edward…" She breathed then reached up and crashed my lips to hers. I responded just as enthusiastically. I grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to me.
"It would be nice if a certain couple would stop trying to eat each other's faces off!" Jasper said loudly while opening the back door.
"Come on." I said pulling away from the kiss and stepping out. She grabbed my hand and we went into the Bowling alley. I went up and paid for all the shoes before getting a lane and going over to it. We all sat down as a waitress came up and asked for our order.
"Is there any thing else I can do t-for you?" She asked biting her lip and looking at me. I heard Bella snicker but looked back at her and saw her glaring.
"No thanks." I said and wrapped my arm around Bella. She nodded and left. "Wow Bella." I said turning my head down to look at her.
"What?" She said shrugging. "I just think it incredibly trashy and skanky to be hitting on a guy when he is obviously on a date."
"Time to do names!" Alice said getting up and dragging Bella with her. "What do you want as yours?" She asked turning around to ask me and Jazz.
"Edward." I said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"No." She replied turning around and typing in 'Eddie-Kinz'. "Much better!"
"Oh come on Alice really?" She just ignored me and continued typing in the names.
"That was fun." Bella said as I walked her to the porch of the pink house.
"It was." I agreed. "We spent more time out then I thought." I said looking at my watch. Please don't notice I'm gone!
"How about a few more minuets." She said pulling me to her by the back of my neck. She pulled me until I was a centimeter away from her lips. I leaned forward barely ghosting my lips across her when she pulled back.
"Don't tease." I said leaning forward but was interrupted.
"We need to go." Jasper said. I sighed and pulled away.
"Bye." Bella said looking up into my eyes and hugging me.
"Bye." I said leaning down and hugging her back. Jasper honked the horn and I pulled away. I waved to Alice as she passed which she returned with a small smile.
"Sorry about that but Em called me and told me to bring you home." He said pulling away from the curb.
"What happened?" I asked since he looked really worried.
"He was sent to protect you and saw you weren't there. He is distracting Carlisle and Esme so they won't go up there." I still didn't understand why he looked so worried.
"Why are you freaking out then?" I asked. He looked at me and sighed.
"A bullet was fired at Esme when she was in her garden." I made a choking sound in the back of my throat and before I even realized it I had tears running down my cheeks. "Don't worry I'll get us there as fast I can." Jasper said softly and speeding up the car.

Me and Alice came in threw the door in the lounge and dashed for the stairs. We both ran into her room. She had left our clothes in her dresser so I went over got dressed again. We both went down the stairs and saw Renee standing there with coffee and a book starting to come up the stairs.
"Hey Mom! What you reading?" Alice said stepping into her path.
"More like what am I looking at?" She said. "I'm looking at pictures of you two." That statement confused me. She doesn't have any pictures of me. Right?
"Us two?" I asked. Renee looked at me and nodded. "But I haven't taken any pictures since I got here." I said. Alice looked at the two of us before she spoke.
"Um… I'm gonna go see where Charlie is." And then she skipped down the rest of the stairs and into the kitchen.
"I wanna show you something." Renee said grabbing my hand and pulling me upstairs to a room that I had never been in. She opened the door and it looked like a luxury little girl room.
"Whose room is this?" I asked. Renee sighed sadly.
"Yours." She said and I looked over at her surprised. "Before we put you in Jack and Mary's care this was going to be your room when you got older. Then the war started and we were afraid for you. I remember that night like it just minuets ago." She sat down and picked up one of the teddies that were on the bed. I sat down beside her and listened.
"We wanted you to be in the most hidden place we could and we chose that nice town of Forks. We were on our way to an adoption agency when we saw Jack and Mary come out crying. I over heard them saying that they were denied and found out later on the she was unable to have children.
"We tracked them down and begged them to take care of you until the war was over. I made it very clear that I wanted you back right after. They were happy to have you even it was for a little while she said. When I put you in her arms you started crying and screaming. I was feeling the same sadness but I had to put you before me. So I promised you that I would come back
"When it was all done and over with I came back to get you. They had moved to a much bigger house since the last time because we sent them money and told them to use it for anything they or you needed.
"I showed up at the door and Jack answered carrying you on his back and you were smiling really big and so was he. But when he saw it was me his smiled dropped and he called for Mary." Renee had this far away look in her eyes look she was seeing a different time and she probably was. She had big hot tears rolling down her cheeks and her words kept breaking with every few words.
"When she had come to the door she told you to go to your room for a few minuets. You jumped off his back and told her 'Okay mommy.' Then she turned back to me and just flat out said 'You can't take her from us.' I was absolutely stunned. Who was she to tell me I couldn't have you back when I told her I was coming back for you. And I told her just that.
"'I'm the person who kept your daughter safe for a year and half' she said back. We started yelling after awhile because we were both getting mad. Jack eventually got us to listen just as a cop car pulled up.
"All I could remember was thinking 'They called the Police on me?'" She said thickly before she blinked and turned to look at me. "I came back for you. I eventually got there point. How could I just rip a child from her mother's arms? Plus you were at such a young age I couldn't imagine what that would do to you. They promised to send me picture and to write on how well you were doing and they always kept me update on big events.
"I came to everyone of your birthdays until you reached High school. I figured you'd finally want to know why some weird woman wrapped up in scarves and face half covered with sunglasses is always at your parties." She was silent for a few moments but then she sobbed and dropped her head into her hands.
"I should've tried harder to get you back!" She cried shaking her head. "I just gave up! You wouldn't have to just be thrown into this life with out any warning. We all could have been one big happy family if I would have tried harder." She looked back up at me and smiled sadly. "I don't expect you to just forgive me after you here my sob story. But I wanted you to know. I wanted you to know why I let you go." She said before reaching over to hug me. "I love you Bella." She said before she got up and walked out.
I sat there. I sat and thought about everything she just said then I noticed the book still sitting on the bed. I picked it up and flipped it open. The first picture is a baby picture of me.
Isabella Marie Swan
09/13/1992
Most precious baby to ever be born!
Was written under the picture. I went on to see pictures from each big event of my life here. Including homecoming. I laughed when I saw it. I was wearing the most annoyed face and it looked like I was trying to push Mike's arm off me.
I could see that Renee was really sorry about what happened all those years ago. I never knew that she came back for me though.
I started thinking back to the story and couldn't stop the tears that came to my eyes. How could they lie to me all these years? They could have at least told me the I was royal for Christ sake!
I was thinking to hard and my head was starting to hurt so I laid back and closed my eyes willing myself to go to sleep.
I woke up to see it was dark outside and it was raining. I got up and looked around before making my way to the door. I went downstairs and saw Alice giggling at the bottom from where she was peeking.
I sat down next to her and saw what she was looking at. I almost squealed. Almost! Charlie and Renee were locked in a heated make-out session right on the floor next to what looked like a spilled cup of water.
I was so happy for them. They finally admitted they liked each other. All of the sudden they pulled apart looked right over to where we were sitting.
"Get away from the stairs." Renee said smiling. Me and Alice shot up and ran up to my room and shut the door.
We looked at each other smiling before we both squealed and screamed jumping around in a circle. We both stopped after a few minuets and sat down on my bed. Alice was quieter than usual and I looked up to see her crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked scooting over to where she was and wrapping my arms around her. She sniffled and shook her head.
"She's finally going to be happy again." She whispered and I smiled.
"I'm sure she will be."
I wanted to end it on a nice note. I thought about just ending it after Renee's story but changed my mind. I hope you liked it.
Review please!
Also! I may be coming out with a one-shot to see how I am at lemons for the future! *cough* Hint!
