A/N: Wow. I Have Alot Of Hits! Makes Me Very Happy. Hee Hee. Well, On With The Game! Haha..

Bpov:

Edward, Alice, and I dashed downstairs to see who was up for a game of baseball. Jasper and Emmett had their faces shoved in a tv while playing Halo on the Xbox. Rosalie was lying on the couch reading a book. Carlisle and Esme were sitting at the kitchen table, talking amomgst themselves.

''Hey, who all is game for a round of baseball?!'' Alice chimed. Jasper and Emmett both whirled around, the biggest grins on their faces.

''I'm game!'' Emmett boomed.

''Hell ya! Count me in!'' Jasper said. Then Rosalie turned her head.

''Sure, I'll play.'' She said, folding the corner of the page she was on and closing her book. I looked over to Carlisle and Esme, who were now walking over to us.

''We'll play.'' He said with a smile. ''You playing too Bella?'' He asked, turning his attention to me. Alice spoke before I could.

'''She was the one who suggested it!'' She exclaimed, almost jumping up and down. Carlisle raised an eyebrow.

''Really? I almost thought that the series of events that took place the last time we played would have ruined it for you.'' He said, his tone serious. I shook my head.

''It kinda did, but I was still human the last time. What could happen to me now?'' I said with a big grin. Everyone started laughing, except for Edward. His expression was unreadable. I scrunched my eyebrows together.

What is it Edward? I said with my thoughts. He heard me. He was looking at me now with a blank expression.

''It's nothing love.'' He thought back.

Yeah right. I'm stupid but not that stupid. Now spill it. I retorted. Edward sighed silently.

''It's just...I don't like remembering those events. It really gets to me. I almost lost you...'' His thoughts rang in my head. I nodded, letting it drop for now.

''Alright! Let's go!'' Alice said, dancing over to the door. Her sudden outburst made me jump. We were all laughing as we left the house and headed for the clearing. Once we arrived, Alice was right again, it was barely drizzling.

''Ok Bella, have you ever played baseball before?'' Carlisle asked me as he turned to face me.

''Who hasn't played baseball before?!'' Emmet said, his tone retorical.

''Umm...well...I...haven't..'' I stuttered. Emmett turned to me, his eyes wide.

''You...You have never played baseball?!'' He asked, incredulous. I shook my head and he just stared at me, shaking his head a little. Rosalie slapped his arm.

''Shut up, for once!'' She barked. He cringed a little at her tone.

''Ok, well, have you at least seen a game?'' Carlisle asked.

''Oh yeah. Charlie watched baseball all the time.'' I said smiling.

''Ok so you understand the rules then?'' He asked me.

''Yep.'' I said, my excitement growing.

''Alright then, you remember how we played the last time. You go ahead and bat first.'' Carlisle said, turning to take his position at second base. Edward was behind me in an instant.

''This should be interesting.'' He said, a smile hinting at his tone. I smiled back, turning to plant a quick kiss on his perfect lips, then took off to grab a bat. After I'd gotten a bat and had positioned myself, I nodded to Alice who was pitching. She stood up straight, then shot the ball at me. I would have missed it if I were human, but I caught it and swung the bat, closing my eyes at the last second.

CRACK!!

I hit the ball! It was sailing in Edward's direction,it was definately going to go into the forest.

''Fantastic hit Bella!'' Esme called, clapping her hands. I dropped the bat and dashed at vampire speed around the bases. Edward had retrieved the ball right as I passed third and was now trying to beat me to the home plate. He was right on my heels, but I dove and slid into home, Edward just missing me.

''Safe!'' Esme called. I jumped up, laughing hard. This was amazing. I was playing baseball! Alice was at my side, her eyes glittering.

''That was awesome Bella!'' She said, smiling.

''Thank you.'' I said, beaming. I was actually playing a sport. Wow. Charlie would pay anything to see this. I laughed again.

''Alright! Batter up!'' Esme called. It was Emmett's turn. He picked up the bat and swung it twice, stepping up to the plate. Alice dashed back to the mound and stood straight up again. Then she threw the ball. The whole clearing echoed with the crashing boom as he hit the ball, causing it to sail way out towards Rosalie. Then she dissapeared into the forest. Edward was at the edge of the trees when he waved his arms.

''Out!'' Esme called.

''What?!'' Emmett boomed. But then Rosalie was dashing out of the forest, holding the ball high. She'd caught it. She threw it back to Alice, who just smiled big. Jasper and Carlisle went, and they too had been struck out. Then we switched places. It was my turn to be in the outfield. I took my place, as did Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle. Alice continued to pitch. Edward was up first. Then Alice shot me a quick message vision. It was Edwar'ds hit. It would sail right for me. Just then a loud crash of thunder boomed over our heads.

''Thanks Alice.'' I said. I knew she could hear me. She threw the ball and Edward hit it, causing yet another crash. Sure enough, it was making a B line right for me. I let it bounce once before grabbing it and taking off. He was just coming up on second when I lunged at him. Our bodies made a loud crack, then we both landed on the ground, almost running right into Carlisle, who jumped out of the way at the last second. The ball was still in my right hand. But Edward's fingers were barely brushing the base. I smiled.

''Out!'' Esme called.

''What?! I was safe!'' Edward called as he got up. I hopped up and brushed the mud off my jeans.

''Nope, you were out. I touched you with the ball as we hit. And I held onto it as we fell.'' I said, smiling widely, holding up the ball that was still secured in my fingers.

''Not fair.'' He said, puckering his lower lip out into the cutest pouty face I'd ever seen. I patted him on the shoulder. '' Aww, it's ok to lose to a rookie once in a while.'' I said, teasingly. He shot me a playful dirty look as he left the field. I laughed as I took my spot again.

It was Rosalie's turn next. She held the bat tightly as she stepped onto the plate and took her stance. Alice pitched the ball and Rosalie swung, hitting the ball with a loud crash. It veered to my right and I dashed for it. I picked it up quickly and threw it to Carlisle a second too late. She'd just made it. Darn! This was so much fun! We played and played until the storm started to pass.

''Alright! Storm's passing! let's head back!'' Esme called. We all rushed over to her. ''So Bella, how was your first game of baseball?'' She asked, turning to face me.

''Oh my god! It was amazing! I have never had this much fun!'' I said, beaming with excitement.

''I'm so glad dear.'' Esme said, smiling.

''Ok, let's get back and clean up. Bella looks like she wallowed in a mud puddle!'' Alice chimed, laughing. I looked down at my clothes. They were totally brown with all the mud. I laughed too. Edward was at my side instantly.

''I kinda like it.'' He whispered into my ear. I shivered a little.

''Get a room you two!'' Emmett said, laughing a little. I shot him a dirty look, but he just laughed harder. We ran back to the house, everyone dispersing to their own rooms. Edward and I headed for the shower.

''I can't believe how dirty I got!'' I said, laughing again. '' I seriously can not believe that I just played baseball.'' I said in wonder, still laughing. I took my jeans and shirt off. ''Umm...what do I do with these?'' I asked. I didn't know if they washed their clothes or not. I'd never really thought about it. Edward cracked up, obviously I'd allowed him to read my mind without knowing it.

''We may be vampires but we're not barbarians!'' He said, still laughing. He walked over and took my clothes and set them on top of one of the boxes, taking his clothes off and placing them on top of mine. Then he raced back to me. ''Silly Bella. You crack me up.'' He said, chuckling. He wrapped his arms around me as we walked to his bathroom. He released me for a minute and I went over and turned the shower on, taking my bra and panties off and stepped into the warm water. Edward slid his boxers off and came in, closing the shower door behind him. He wrapped his arms around me again, resting his forhead on my shoulder.

''I love you Edward.'' I whispered, kissing the top of his now wet hair. He tightened his grip on me.

''I love you too Bella. Forever.'' He said. I smiled, holding him close to me. I never noticed until now, how...human...he felt in my arms. He felt like a little boy. We had sat down in the bottom of the shower, and he was curled up in my arms. It was usually the other way around. I was the one who always did the curling up and cuddling. I held his body with my left arm, and was playing with his hair with my right arm. ''Bella?'' Edward said.

''Hmm?'' I voiced, kissing the top of his head again.

''I kept...remembering...the last time we had gone to play baseball. And the series of events that took place after. It was the hardest thing I'd done other than leaving you. I was so scared I was going to lose you. When I found you in that ballet studio, beaten and mangled, and bitten...I...wasn't sure I'd get to see you again. But you survived. Somehow...you kept surviving. No matter what happened to you. You are such a strong woman, Bella. So much stronger than me...I don't know why...You stayed...Why you agreed to marry me...When all I do is put you through hell...'' He said, his voice trailing off and breaking at the end. I could hear the sadness and sorrow in his voice. Then he started crying. No tears came of course, but the sounds he made were enough to almost push me over the edge. I clutched him tighly. Now he really felt like a little boy as he cried. I don't know how long we sat there, but I didn't mind. He was opening up completely to me now. And I didn't care how long it took, I would be there for him until the end of time.

''Because, that's what you do when you're in love. You keep coming back. You keep taking the hits life throws at you. Because in the end, you're never really alone, not as long as you keep the love between you and your significant other strong. And in the end, when it comes right down to it, the only person who will stil be left standing to assist you in this battle for existance, is the one who loves you in return. And that, is more precious than anything. You are my piece of gold, my diamond in the rough. My light when the darkness consumed me. You are my everything. And without You, I don't know where I'd be. If I'd even still be here at all. You have given me something that nobody else has. No matter how much money a person has, or how nice they are, or how good looking they are, it doesn't matter to me. I struck gold the day I met you. I hated Forks, until I met you. Yes, I may have gone through hell and back just to stay with you, but I don't regret anything. Nor would I ask to take any of it back. And neither should you.'' I said, gazing into his eyes. He'd truned his head up so that he could see my face as I spoke. He looked like he was going to say something but I placed my fingers over his lips. ''It's ok. You don't need to say anything. Because I know that all that I just said, you feel the same for me. I can see it in your face, your eyes, your actions when you're around me. All I ask is that you love me. Love me, until the end of time.'' I said. His eyes glowed the most beautiful golden color I'd seen.

''Until the end and beyond.'' he promised, taking my hand in his and pressing his lips to mine. That kiss was the kiss of all kisses. I don't think he ever could match that one again. The whole world seemed...right. Everything in its place. Calm. Perfect. Living forever would be a breeze, as long as he stayed by my side.
