BPOV
I woke up feeling a little... strange, like something was wrong. Very wrong, I looked to my left, to see Edward sleeping peacefully by my side. I then checked the time on my bedside table 2:30am
"Edward" I whispered, lightly shaking him
"Mmm"
"Edward, wake up"
"Go back to sleep Bella" He mumbled while rolling over on his side.
"Edward, get up. Something's wrong"
He let out a sigh then rolled back over and leaned up on his right elbow
"What do you mean something's wrong?" He yawned
"I don't know, I can just feel it" I said as I glanced around the room "We need to check on Lizzy"
He looked at me for a moment before rolling out of bed, I jumped up after him and grabbed on to the back of his shirt.
"Wait!" I whispered yelled. He stopped and turned to face me.
I walked over to my side of the bed and bent down to pull out the baseball bat that I kept under there.
"What do I need a baseball bat for?" He asked as I handed it to him and resumed my position of standing behind him with fistfuls of his shirt in my hand.
"Just in case." I whispered back to him.
He rolled his eyes and shook his head as he made the way towards Elizabeth's room. I started to grow nervous, with every step I took I could sense more and more that something wasn't right, my breathing increased and my heart thumped loudly in my chest, my mouth went dry and I started to feel weak and shaky.
Edward opened Elizabeth's door and switched the light on, I held my breath and peered around his shoulder to see Lizzy fast asleep in her cot.
"See nothing's wrong" Edward said, still staring at Lizzy. I let out the breath I was holding.
We stood there for about 5 minutes watching Lizzy sleep. I turned around to head back to my room but I ran into something hard, it felt like I banged my head on brick wall or something. I rubbed my forehead and focused my eyes on the floor, I saw two big black shoes, I followed the legs up slowly, up to the stomach, then finally to his face. I opened my mouth but nothing came out, I tried to scream, but nothing.
Edward was still watching Elizabeth, he hadn't turned around yet. I went to reach for his arm but the man grabbed me and covered my mouth with his hand, he spun me around so my back was leaning against his hard chest, my eyes started to water as I focused my eyes on Edwards back willing him to turn around.
"Everything is fine nothing is wrong with Eliza- What the hell?" Edward said as he turned around, finally, and saw Jacob's hold on me.
"Well, well Edward. We see each other again" I heard a female voice from the stairs. "Didn't I tell you pay backs a bitch?" She laughed
Edward spun around and mumbled something under his breath that I couldn't make out. Once the woman was in view I knew who it was straight away, Tanya.
"What are you doing here Tanya?" Edward hissed as she walked past him and put her hand on Jacobs shoulder. Edward was frozen, in shock.
"You made it all too easy Edward. Don't you close the windows at night?" She laughed.
What the? The windows were closed! I thought to myself.
I saw something silver flicker in the corner of my watery eyes, I tried to focus on what it was but my vision was too blurry to make anything out. Then I felt something cold press against my neck, it made me flinch back further into Jacobs chest. I heard a growl come from Edward and Tanya laughed. I closed my eyes, hoping that I was only dreaming. Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up I kept repeating over and over in my head.
Edward took a step towards me, his hands clenched into fists at his side. His eyes were focused on me and his expression was terrifying.
If only looks could kill
"Stay where you are Edward" Tanya hissed as she pressed the sharp silver item, that I'm guessing was a knife, harder against my neck. It started to hurt, she moved it slightly to the left. That was enough to pierce my skin and I felt blood trickle down my neck and onto my shirt. I let out a whimper and squeezed my eyes shut tight.
"Throw the bat down Edward" Jacob finally spoke "Throw it down NOW" He yelled again.
I opened my eyes to see Edward still gripping onto the bat, he was staring at me with an expression mixed of terror and anger. The tears started to poor over and roll down my cheeks, my shoulders were shaking and my breathing was ragged.
"Tanya why are you doing this?" Edward said in barely a whisper as he dropped the bat at his feet.
"Why am I doing this?" She replied sarcastically "I'm doing this because you broke my heart. Because I love you Edward, I want to be with you. And I WILL be with you" She was silent for a moment and then she laughed.
"I saw you in the shopping centre. I saw what happened between Bella here and Jacob. I watched the way he watched Bella and the look on his face as he watched you two drive away." She stated
"She came up to me and asked me about it. I told her how I longed for Bella, How I needed her. There is this pull for me to her, she fascinates me. Tanya explained the situation between her and you, Edward. I asked her out for coffee and we eventually conjured a plan to separate you two and have you all to ourselves. We followed you around, and watched you." Jacob continued for her. I could feel his breath on the side of my neck, it sent a shiver down my spine and I felt like ripping his perverted head off of his shoulders.
"Our plan didn't go as well as we had hoped, you weren't supposed to wake up, but look at us. I'll leave with you, Edward and Jacob will leave with Bella" Tanya finished.
"Tanya" Edward said softly, his face turning calm and relaxed as he took a tiny step towards her.
"If you loved me you wouldn't be doing this. If you cared about me, you would let me be happy. You would be happy for me to know that I was happy. This isn't love Tanya, It's far from love" He focused his eyes on her, pleading with her to let us go.
"That's where you wrong Edward, I'm doing this because I love you"
"This is not love Tanya! Please let Bella go, if you truly cared about me you would let us go and be happy for us. If the tables were turned and you were in the position I am in and I was in yours, I would be happy for you, no matter how much it hurts."
Tanya didn't say anything, she was staring at Edward, then she looked over to me and back at Edward again.
"Please Tanya, I love her. She is my life, my soul mate. I'm sorry I hurt you, I didn't mean too. I did care about you, a part of me did love you, but I am not the one for you, and you're not the one for me. There is someone out there for you. Please don't hurt her" I saw a few tears trickle down his cheek.
Tanya's hand lowered the knife away from my throat as she stared into Edward's eyes. I struggled against Jacobs hold, but it was useless, he was too strong. So I did the next thing that came to mind. I threw my leg backwards and kicked him in the groin. He doubled over clutching himself as he fell to his knees in pain. Tanya's head shot over to us and her face looked furious, Edward took the chance and grabbed her before she pounced on me. She swung the knife around furiously. I watched in horror as Edward tried to stay away from her aiming.
I picked up the baseball bat that had been dropped on the floor and swung it aimlessly at her arm. It caused her to drop the knife, I kicked it away from her and Edward threw Tanya towards Jacob. She fell on top of him with a loud thump. Edward pushed me behind him, removing the bat from my hand as he did so.
"Bella run. Grab the phone and call the police. Hurry" I gave him a nod and ran down the stairs. I could hear Edward talking as I fumbled for the phone that was hidden beneath layers of paperwork.
As soon as I had the phone in hand I heard a loud bang and a whole heap of screaming and yelling that made me jump. I couldn't hear them talking anymore, but decided it might be safer to hide in case either Jacob or Tanya got away and came after me to stop me. I frantically looked around the room trying to figure out where to hide.
I ran around until I ended up in the laundry. I jumped in the linen closet and quietly closed the door behind me and dialled 911.
"Police, Fire or Ambulance" I heard the operator say, sounding rather bored.
"Hello, I need the police please" I whispered, as a new wave of panic washed over me.
"Sure thing ma'am" The line went silent for a moment and I gnawed on the inside of my cheek.
"This is the police, how may I help you?" I heard a soft man's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Hi I need someone to come to my place. There are people here, trying to hurt me and my family" I rushed out so fast I'm not sure he would understand.
"Ok slow down ma'am. What's your address?"
I gave him my address and hung up the phone. I started to feel a bit better knowing that the police were on their way. I quietly climbed out of the linen cupboard. I took in a shaky breath and tiptoed towards the stairs. It was so quiet.
I slowly made my way up the stairs, I held my breath hoping that Edward was alright. I saw Tanya and Jacob, lying on the floor unconscious. Edward was leaning against the wall sitting down clutching the side of his stomach. My breath got caught in my throat and I run to his side immediately.
"Edward, what happened" I said as I grabbed his face in between my hands
"They tried to come after you, Tanya got the knife again and I had to fight her back. She managed to slice the side of my stomach. I stopped her though." He had sweat dripping off his face and he looked extremely pale. More pale then me.
"Oh my god Edward are you ok?" I looked at his side where his hand was gripping tightly, there was blood everywhere. I started to panic, my tears returning as I tightly wrapped my arms around his shoulder and started to cry.
"Bella, I'm ok really"
"No, No you're not ok Edward" I sobbed
"Bella please, have a little faith in me" He whispered "I'm ok. Really. Baby look at me"
I moved away from his shoulder and looked at him, he had a small smile on his lips.
"I..am..ok" He said slowly. All I could do was nod.
"I am still taking you to the hospital once the police get here though" I stated after 3 minutes of silence.
"Ok Bella. Just don't worry about me at the moment, I really am ok" He laughed
"How can you laugh at a time like this?"
"Because we are ok. We are still alive"
I sighed and rested my head on Edward chest.
We sat there for a while until there was a knock at the door. I rushed down the stairs and peered out my front window to see blue and red flashing lights. I turned to the door and swung it open.
"We had a call about some intruder's ma'am" The police officer said.
"Yes, follow me" I said, the police office walked in then was followed by another man.
"DAD!" I exclaimed
"Bella, you're ok" He said as he wrapped his arms around me
"How did you – "
"I heard the call on the radio, I recognized your address and got the helicopter to pick me up, after all it is faster than driving." He laughed.
"It's good to see you dad"
"Yeah it's good to see you too Bells. You never call anymore" He looked sad
"I know, I'm sorry I have just been really busy"
"I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion but we have a job to do here" The other police officer said impatiently
"My apologies. Please follow me" I said as I made my way up the stairs.
My dad's eyes fell on Edward, and he looked surprised. After Edward left when I found out I was pregnant and couldn't get hold of him my dad started to loathe him.
My dad and the other police officer put hand cuffs on Tanya and Jacob who were now starting to stir.
"We will need you to come down to the station to put in a statement" The police officer said.
"Can we come tomorrow? I need to take Edward to the hospital" I said as I helped Edward to his feet. Edward limped into Elizabeth's room and emerged with her still sleeping body.
"Yes, that will be fine. Just come down first thing" The police officer stated.
I gave him and nod and followed them to the front door, with Edward limping beside me. The bleeding had stopped now and he was starting to get a little bit of colour back in his face.
I said goodbye and thank you to my dad and the police officer, who's name I didn't get then made my way to the hospital with Edward.

EPOV
Tonight had been horrible, and for the first time, I was actually scared for mine and Bella's life. The only thing that ran through my head was to make sure Elizabeth and Bella didn't get harmed.
I was sitting on a white uncomfortable bed at the hospital trying to keep my mind from the stinging pain in my side as Carlisle, my uncle cleaned and stitched it up. Bella was by my side, holding Elizabeth who was now awake and staring at the room with wide eyes.
"Alright there you go." Carlisle said as he finished stitching up the gash on the side on my torso.
"Thanks Carlisle"
"No worries. Will you two be ok tonight?" He asked
"Yeah, we will be fine" I smiled over at Bella
"Thank you Carlisle" Bella said.
I hoped off the bed and wrapped my arm around Bella's waist as I led her out of the room.
"I'm glad that's over." Bella sighed once we got in the car.
"Me too. I'm sorry this happened Bella" I replied softly "It's my fault"
"Edward, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. You didn't know that she would do something like this"
"I know but still. I could have stopped it.. Somehow"
"No you couldn't off. Just be glad that we are all safe. They will be locked up, behind bars. They won't be able to hurt us anymore"
We drove in silence all the way back home. Bella and I cautiously walked around the house making sure all the windows and doors were lock before we put Elizabeth back in bed.
It was starting to get light outside so we decided not to go back to sleep. We sat on the couch with a hot cup of coffee each and turned on the TV. I sighed as I frustratedly tried to find something interesting to watch.
"Let's just go lie down in bed" Bella said as she stood up.
I turned off the TV and followed her up the stairs. I laid down next to her and she put her chin on my chest and looked up at me.
"You know" she started as she ran her fingers threw my hair "All this... Drama, has kind of turned me on" She said in a seductive voice.
I laughed to myself, how the hell can what happened tonight turn someone on?
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really" She said as she lifted my shirt up so my stomach was visible. She lifted her leg and lowered herself so she was straddling me and leaned down, placing soft kisses over my stomach and down to the top of my jeans. She looked up and grinned at me before undoing the button on my jeans. I watched as she undid them, my breathing grew heavier when she started to undo the zip. She pulled off my pants and I was left sitting in my boxers, she stared at my growing form and licked her lips. My heart started to beat sporadically in chest as she slid a finger under the hem of my boxers, she looked up at me threw her lash's and smiled evilly at me. A small moan escaped my lips as her hand ventured further under my boxers.
5 Minutes later
She pulled herself up and placed a kiss on my lips, my hands found her hips and gripped her tightly. I rubbed my hands up and down her side as she pulled her top over her head and unclasped her bra. She stood up so she was standing over me and seductively undid her own jeans in a teasing way, she slowly slid them down her thin curvy legs and threw them on the floor beside the bed. She then lowered herself back down, after removing her underwear and positioned herself on top of me.
**************************
I woke up to the sound of music playing, I rolled over to my side and checked the time 1:00pm I groaned as I climbed out of bed and pulled my clothes back on. I made my way downstairs, the music got louder, I stopped at the bottom of the steps and watched as Bella danced around the room with the vacuum cleaner, I couldn't help but laugh. She looked so cute. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist and gave her a kiss on the back of her neck. She turned around to face me, dropping the vacuum cleaner in the process and wrapped her arms around my neck, she had the biggest smile on her face as she stood up on her tippy toes and gave me a peck on the lips.
........................................
