Chapter 13: The final straw.

EPOV

Finally, the weekend has arrived. I have never been more excited for a week to be over in my entire existence. Bella and I have some major making up to do for lost times. We were starting our makeup right now.

She was straddling my lap on the living room couch kissing me senseless.

"You're well aware of the fact that we could get caught any moment, right?" I asked her stating to get breathless. The things she does to me.

"I think it adds to the moment. The adrenaline of getting caught." She responded huskily. This woman was going to be the death of me, I swear.

She started to unbutton my shirt and disposed of it on the floor. I started removing her shirt over her shoulders when Emmett walked through the door.

"Holy shit. What the hell guys? You have a room upstairs for a reason. I don't appreciate the very vivid PDA." screamed Emmett covering his eyes and walking out the door, or should I say running.

I looked at Bella who had a blush on her cheeks. She had such a beautiful blush. WAIT, WHAT? A blush? Vampires don't blush. This was freaking me out.

"Bella you're blushing." I said concerned and wide-eyed. She put her hand on her cheek and shook her head.

"Don't worry about it Edward. It's no big deal. It's probably because of the excess hunting I'm doing. I have too much blood in my system. Calm down and stop panicking." She answered, trying to sooth me. She didn't convince me. It didn't make sense, first her overly worm skin and now a blush? Something wasn't right.

"Bella, that doesn't make any sense. You, as a vampire, shouldn't be capable of blushing. No matter how much blood is in your system." I argued. This wasn't normal, that much I knew.

"It's no big deal." I said once again.

"It's no big deal? That's all you've been saying these past days. When are you going to take this seriously?" I was not going to ignore this too. This was getting out of hand, I needed to put my foot down.

"Edward, you're blowing this widely out of proportion. Drop it, it's nothing." She argued back, raising her voice slightly.

"This isn't nothing. This is serious. You've been blowing everything off these past few days. This is not normal vampire behaviour." I put my hand on her forehead. Just as I thought, excessively hot. "You're temperature is much too high. Maybe we should talk to Carlisle together." I offered. I didn't want to mention that I had already talked to Carlisle the previous night because I knew how much she hated it when I talked about her behind her back, not that are discussion was any help.

"Not normal vampire behaviour? What are you implying? That I'm not a vampire?" she questioned getting defensive.

"Of course not. Don't be ridiculous."

"Oh, so now I'm the one who's being ridiculous? What else am I suppose to think? How else do you explain the fact that I drink blood and that I haven't physically changed for the past 60 years?" she asked sarcastically.

"I didn't say you weren't a vampire. I'm not stupid. I changed you myself and was by your side during your entire transformation. So what I'm implying is that something is off. We should check with Carlisle." I replied, trying to get her to calm down a bit.

"What can Carlisle do? Is he going to shove a needle inside my rock hard skin and diagnose me? Or maybe my skin is no longer hard? Do you want to test out that theory? Go ahead, punch me." She said, gesturing towards herself. As is I would touch her that way. Okay, now she was exaggerating.

"I'm not going to punch you, love. Please be reasonable." I tried again to get to her.

"I'm being perfectly reasonable. I think that if anyone is being unreasonable here it's you. All this because of a little blush."

"This is not about the blush. I worry about you, okay? That's what I do because you mean absolutely everything to me. I just want to make sure nothing's wrong." I said, grasping her hand and rubbing soothing circle with my thumb.

"I know you only care about my wellbeing, but you have to trust me on this. I'm perfectly fine. Nothing has changed. I know my body better than you." She answered is a lower tone.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked suggestively, kissing from her jaw down to her neck. "Because I think I know you're body fairly well, don't you think?" I added continuing down her stomach.

"Edward." She moaned. That was one of my favourite sounds in the world.

"Is it safe to come in?" asked Emmett from behind the door. He once again interrupted our moment.

"Yes Emmett." I answered in an annoyed voice.

"You're both fully clothed?" he asked before entering.

"Emmett." said Bella in a stern voice that answered his question.

"Hey, I was just making sure. I didn't want to have to be scared for the rest of my existence again." He said joining us in the living room.

"Emmett, I've seen you and Rose in much more graphic pictures before." I said.

"Now whose fault is that? It's not my fault you're a mind reader." He answered defensively. I just closed my eyes and snuggled against Bella once more.

"You want to do some resling bro? I need a good fight." asked Emmett.

"No thanks Emmett. Because of you I've wasted enough time without my wife." I responded, taking Bella into my arms.

"Come on. She's still going to be in this room. Just one round, please. You can't neglect your brother. It's hurtful." He put his hand on his heart trying to make me feel guilty. I looked at Bella, silently asking permission. She nodded yes so I agreed.

"One round." I complied. I needed to blow off some steam and clear my head. Maybe this would help.

"Yes!" shouted Emmett. It was so easy to please him. He was exactly like a little kid. It's a good thing we had him though. Our house wouldn't be the same without his immatureness and goofing off.

"Let's take this outside so we don't get into any more trouble with Esme." I suggested.

"Do you want to watch me kick your husband's ass, sis?" asked Emmett, grinning wildly.

"You wish." I replied.

"No thank you. I think I'm just going to head upstairs and relaxed a bit. I'm feeling a bit tired." She answered getting up from the couch and heading up the stairs. I don't recall vampire's feeling tires either. I brushed it off and began the round with Emmett. I needed to trust Bella.

As I lay on my bed upstairs, I felt really exhausted. I couldn't remember a time when I felt this way besides when I was training my shield for the Volturi battle. It was a weird feeling. I was starting to worry about all the things Edward mentioned before.

I realized that I was hunting too frequently but I kept brushing it off as due to the stress of this past week. As for my blush and my temperature, I was certain it wasn't important. It was a fact that the more blood you consumed the warmer your body was because of the worm liquid.

I had to admit to myself that what Edward said about this not being normal vampire behaviour, was true. I knew that, I just didn't want to accept it. I wanted to fell normal, like I fit in again. Could I possibly become human again? No that was crazy. If there was any way, Rosalie would have found it by now. Besides, I was still craving blood. It just wasn't a possibility.

Another thing that's been bothering me are my emotions. Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm over reacting to certain things whether it's being too happy or too angry. Like right before when Edward was trying to help me, I kept snapping at him. That's not how I would normally act.

All of this was scaring me. I didn't feel like myself. Okay, I had to stop thinking about all of this. This was ridiculous, right? Ya, this is just another reaction to this week. It was playing with my judgment.

Instead of thinking about all of this, I focused my attention on Edward and Emmett downstairs. They were in the middle of their second fight. I knew that when they started, they wouldn't stop for a long while. They were always calling for rematches, boys.

I listened in on the rest of the action going on in this house. Rosalie was in the garage tweaking another car. There was no interrupting Rose when she was working on a vehicle. She was entirely focused on her work.

Alice was helping Esme in the garden outback. They were occupying themselves with landscaping. They were adding a fountain as well as beautiful flowers and tall trees. I knew all the details because they showed me the sketches earlier on. It was going to look amazing once they finished.

Carlisle must be on his way back from the hospital by now. Jasper was occupying himself downstairs, waiting for Alice to finish. I knew he was dying to read his history novel but he wouldn't disobey Esme that way. None of us would. Nessie and Jake went out to get the groceries for this week.

Once I was done analyzing everything that was going on in this house, I found that my thoughts went back to the changes Edward noticed about me. I wasn't ready to think about the meaning behind all of it so I put in the CD that Edward gave me for our anniversary of all his songs. It included the tracks from the CD he gave me for my 18th birthday when I was human as well as the numerous songs he composed along the years.

I listened to it often, it helped me relax and focus on the beautiful notes he played. As I closed my eyes to fully enjoy the music, I felt my body relaxing and the tension leaving. Slowly, the voices in the house began to dull until I lost consciousness for the first time in 60 years. (*A/N: I was going to finish here but I decided to give you a little of Edward's reaction.)

Even though I was so caught up in the game against Emmett, I was still worrying about the changes in Bella. It was very confusing. She added another thing to the list when she mentioned that she was tired. Vampires shouldn't get tired.

I will most definitely have to talk to Carlisle again when he gets back. I know he said we would monitor the situation and that he did not think there was anything to fear but there was not a doubt in my mind that I'd worry when it came to Bella.

By the time Emmett and I finished our third round, Renesmee and Jake came back with their groceries for the week. That stuff smelled revolting.

"Dad, where's mom? I need to tell her something." asked Nessie.

"She's upstairs resting. You shouldn't bother her now. Give her some time." I answered. I was hoping she wouldn't press the issue further because she didn't need the extra worry but being the daughter of two stubborn parents, I had no luck.

"Resting?" she asked, a small frown on her face.

"Yes, it's been a stressful week for her." I replied. I was lucky she let it go to help Jake put away the food.

Suddenly I heard a noise coming from upstairs. It couldn't be what I thought it was.

"Do you hear that Emmett?" I asked, hoping I was hallucinating. I saw him focus for a moment.

"The heartbeat? It's Jake and Nessie." He answered looking at me with a confused look.

"That's the thing, it sounds like it's coming from upstairs but they're in the kitchen." I asked panicking. What would a human be doing in our house?

I didn't give him the chance to answer before I ran upstairs. I fallowed the sound and it led to Bella and I's room. Who would be in our room?

I opened the room and couldn't believe what I saw. It was Bella. She was lying unconscious on the bed and it was her heartbeat.

*A/N: I'm mean aren't I...Cliff hanger! Sorry, I just love them! I don't do them often but when I do, I make them count. :P I know you all probably hate me right now.

Review for the next chapter to be posted! All will be explained but some of you have guessed what's going on.
