When we reached her room, Bella placed the books on her nightstand while she placed the other gifts on her dresser. Moving towards her bed, Bella sat down as I sat down next her. Bella was laying on her side, looking up at me as I moved and laid down too, looking into her eyes. Her expression was full of pure happiness. There were no words that needed to be spoken between us, but we knew that just being together was enough as long as we were cuddling together.

Bella scooted closer to me, her face only five inches from mine. "Edward?" I smiled.

"Yes love?" She blushed.

"Well... it's still my birthday for..." Bella looked towards the clock. "another half hour. Kiss me?" Looking into her eyes, I nodded and smiled at her as our faces got closer and closer. I moved my hand into her hair and pulled myself closer, pressing my lips to hers. We moved together with grace but also intense passion. Kissing her was as if I was kissing a god, her mouth precious, just like her body, just like her heart. This was a good memory for me a week later.

After giving Bella those books, she insisted on being alone to read them. I understood, she wanted to know what we knew, but I was saddened that I wasn't able to be with her outside of school. I was worried about her and what she was thinking during this time, but I knew I needed to let her be. Even my sibling worried about it because she wouldn't speak at lunch, instead she would read the books. We were happy that she wouldn't tell anyone the names of the books or anything. It was worrisome as she kept to herself, I could only hope that her opinion of me after reading New Moon wouldn't change.

EPOV

The past week has been rough for me... seeing as I haven't been able to be with Bella at night or have been able to be with her after school. After giving her those books, she seemed to want to be on her own. She didn't really speak much to me. It was making me feel sad and lonely, not being able to hug her, cuddle with her, kiss her, it was nearly torture. Standing in my room, pacing back and forth as I had been doing for days, I finally decided to go for a quick hunt.

Running out the door to the woods was a nice breath of fresh air. The excitement it gave me to feel the ground feel like nothing beneath my feet, was above cloud 9. There were only two things that gave me that feeling, running for a hunt, and Bella's love. Needless to say, I kept the hunt short, getting a quick meal before running back. Leaping from the ground up to the porch that connects to my room, I landed smoothly.

"Edward!" I heard Alice call from the living room. I sighed and looked at the clock, it read eight in the evening. Walking down the stairs, I moved towards the living room where I found everyone sitting, except for Alice. "Hello Edward, did you enjoy your hunt?" I nodded.

"Yes, I did thank you. Now, what is it? Did you need something?" I asked. I could tell that they could see how sad I appeared to be. Alice nodded happily.

"Yes, actually, not too long ago, while you were hunting, I got a vision of Bella." My eyes widened and she giggled lightly. "Well, she's finished reading. I'd give her ten minutes and then go to her." I nodded happily and ran up to my room to change. Upon getting to my room, I put on some comfortable clothes I could wear and feel comfortable in while cuddling with her... if she would still want to.

Nervousness racked through me as I had the realization that she might not want to be with me anymore. Sighing, I threw that behind me. Honestly, I knew Bella wouldn't truly want to do that to me. Or at least I hoped that she wouldn't. Within five minutes, I was ready and without hesitation, I jumped out the window and ran towards Bella's, waiting outside her window. Looking up, I could hear her slow and awake breathing and her heartbeat, but no other sounds came.

Having enough of the tortuous separation, I jumped up, knocking on her window, signalling to her that I was coming in. When climbing in, I looked to see her on her bed, her legs curled up with her arms wrapped around her legs. When I entered, she wasn't really looking at me, more like towards some unknown location. Moving forwards, I moved to the bed with her and hugged her with a kiss on her cheek. "Bella love? Are you okay?" Bella turned her head towards me.

"Yeah... I'm okay. I must say though, New Moon made me very sad."

I nodded. "I figured it would."

She looked into my eyes, almost burning me with her stare. "Are you going to leave me? Tell me it's for my own good?"

I shook my head. "No Bella. I couldn't ever imagine doing that. It saddened me as well when I read that. But," I took her hand in mine, "I promise to never leave you like that or ever. You're so precious, I couldn't imagine doing so."

Bella nodded and a sudden smile appeared on her face. "So, we... we have a baby?" She asked happily, a light blush apparent on her cheeks.

"Yes Bella. We will have a beautiful baby some day." I smiled and placed a kiss on her cheek and then slowly moved my lips to hers, our lips fighting hard to not separate.

"You know, I was very excited when I read that, but I was shocked as well. Who would have thought that I would become a mother and the man I love would be the father of our child." I felt a warmth within me, rise full of pride at the thought of the offspring that we would be waiting for.

"I was too. But to hear those names, Mommy, Daddy, or in whatever form it comes, it will be one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had, aside from meeting you." I placed one more kiss on her cheek before she spoke.

"Though, I'm worried about the blood thing..." She started. "I mean, I know it will be an important thing for me to consume for a healthy pregnancy... I wonder something..." I look at her curiously. "Do you think... that since we've changed a lot about our future... she will grow at a normal rate? I will love the pregnancy and her either way, but... I hope that a normal rate could be possible." I shrugged.

"I'm not sure, but even if it's not the normal rate and is as it's said in the books, I wouldn't want to lose you and if we decide to follow through with having a-"

"OF COURSE I'LL WANT HER! I hope you will too!" She exclaimed quietly. I was shocked.

"Of course I do Bella. I just wouldn't have wanted to push that on you if you didn't want it." Bella looked at me with a smile and leaned forwards, pressing her lips to mine.

"Of course I'll want her. To think our relationship is capable of such magic." I smiled and hugged her. I went to kiss her on her lips but she stopped me, placing a finger on my lips.

"What is it love?" Bella smiled weakly at me.

"Well... There is something I want to talk with you about. I... Want Charlie and to be a part of my life. They are my parents and if we do get the chance, I want them to be part of Renesmee's life. With us not having to worry about the Volturi, that is if Irina doesn't say anything, they should be able to know. Right?

"Well..." I pursed my lips, thinking. "I don't think it will be an issue. We already took care of James, Victoria. They are dead. Laurent is now with Irina in Alaska. He won't be in the area unless they are with him. We invite them once in awhile, so you will get to meet them, on better terms hopefully."

"That's good. At least with Victoria dead, those people in Seattle won't have to die, Riley, Bree, none of them." I nodded. "So, can we tell Charlie? Will Carlisle want to be the one to tell him if we get the approval of the family? It would mean a lot to me and to them that they will be a part of it. You know as well as I do that they can keep important secrets such as these. I'm not trying to force the decision, I just want to know if it's a possibility." I nodded and smiled at her.

"Of course. I don't think my family will have any qualms about it. Let's talk to them tomorrow about it." Bella smiled, leaning into me. I wrapped my arms around her and whispered, "I was afraid... because you wanted to be alone for so long." Bella looked up towards my face and shook her head.

"You don't ever need to worry. I'll always want you. I just wanted to figure out my future on my own. I love you."

"Bella," I said, in a quiet but happy voice, pulling her to me a little more. "Mind if I stay here tonight?" Bella shook her head.

"I would love for you to stay with me. Tonight and every night." Nodding happily, we laid down together. After I grabbed a heated blanket, I put it over her before covering her with another comforter before laying with her. Unfortunately this is how it will have to be until she was one of us. That thought did sadden me. Not as much as it did my book self, but the thought that I won't be able to hear the sound of her heartbeat anymore is what saddens me. Such a sweet sound.

Leaning closer as Bella's eyes are still open, I place my lip on hers. I sighed happily, the feel of her lips on mine sending joy and happiness running throughout my body. I moved closer and held her a little closer to me, being careful to not crush her against my body. Bella immediately moved her hands out of her blanket and buried her hands into my hair, holding me to her.

The electricity running through my body made my unbeating heart feel as if it was beating again. Slowly, I lessened the intensity of the kiss as I could tell Bella needed air. Looking her in the eyes, I placed my lips on her forehead as she yawned, adorably I might add, "Good night Bella." She smiled and nodded before closing her eyes and burying her face in my chest. Her light snore came and I smiled. It felt amazing to hold her to me this way. I felt so happy that I couldn't help but to say what came out of my mouth. "I promise that I will never leave you. I will be here forever, as you friend, boyfriend, future husband, and someday, future father to our future daughter." Her even breathing put me at peace during the night, knowing that I now had something important to me, someone I couldn't ever lose. "I love you Bella. Sweet Dreams."
