So, hi. Quicker update than normal, the reason is that I've spent the past week in bed with flu, a broken toe and a sprained foot, so I've had some time to write. Honestly, walking disaster, I am.

Hey, Edward has a medical degree..marry me? No? Ah, worth a shot.

Carlisle? No? Dang.

So yeah…there were a couple of 'get well'/'sorry' messages, thank you so, so much! Means a lot, honestly.

Yeah, someone reviewed on Chapter Three commenting on how Bella doesn't sleep as she's a vampire…just pointing out here that she isn't a vampire. Renesmee's birth had no effect whatsoever on Bella.

Twilight isn't mine.

So, yeah, on with the story..

Edward's POV

I went back over to Bella and saw the tears in her eyes, just about to spill over the lids, "I can't dance," she told me.

"Don't start this again, prom went fine," I reminded her as I pulled her into my arms.

This is where Bella belongs, in my arms. I knew where she was and I knew that she was safe.

We kept dancing after the music had stopped. As we were dancing we gradually started to slow down. Once we had finally stopped dancing we never moved. We still stayed in each other's arms.

I don't know how long we stayed there. I kept taking large breathes so I could smell a scent that I was without for so long. It felt amazing to have Bella in my arms again. I started to pull away and her head shot up, eyes wide.

"You need to sleep. People will start thinking I'm a bad influence on you."

She yawned. The way her eyes close as her mouth opens is adorable, "I suppose you have a point. Edward?" I looked at her, "please don't go tonight. Stay." I nodded.

She must have no idea. There is no way I would leave her. I carried her up the stairs; she just seemed to laugh to herself. I'd give anything to hear her. What she was thinking.

I stood her up, "human minute?" I asked. She simply nodded and walked off to the bathroom.

I walked over to the bookshelf. Wuthering Heights. Pride and Prejudice. Bella hadn't changed one bit. I smiled to myself.

Then I saw something that surprised me. I saw my baseball cap, the night James- growl- came for Bella. I'm surprised she'd have this, as the memory it held wasn't very nice. Ha Edward, so much for 'it will be like I never existed.'

I heard the bathroom door knob turn and I saw Bella return. She came out in her small cotton shorts and little blue vest. She looked beautiful.

She put her clothes on her chair and sat on her bed. I lifted up the baseball cap, and questioned her why my eyes, raising one of my eyebrows slightly.

"It was the only thing I had, which you didn't take, to remind me that you were real. That all of those happy times really did happen." She simply answered.

"I don't deserve you." I told her.

"And here was me thinking that I didn't deserve you."

I went over to the bed and sat down with her.

"Can I ask you a question?" she asked sleepily. I couldn't help but laugh just a tad. I nodded.

"Edward, do you love me, do you still love me, I mean, have you moved on?" she murmured looking down.

What a silly question.

I cradled her face in my hands and looked deep down into her eyes so she knew I wasn't lying.

"Bella…yes I love you. I always have and I always will. And no. I could never move on. Bella, like I said, I love you. I always have. I always will."

Her face lit up. Her smile was dazzling. Her eyes were bright, "you do know you said that twice, the whole 'love you, loved you, will love you' thing."

"Thing?" I asked, mocking being hurt, she laughed, "Bella," I said more seriously now, "I said it twice because I want you to know that it's true. I lied in the forest and I'm never going to forgive myself for that. I only wanted to protect you because I love you. You understand right?" I hope she does because honestly, I have no idea what I'd do without her.

"I forgave you a long time ago. However heartbroken I was, I could never hate you. Anyway, how could I stay mad at you when you blessed me…us…with a child?"

That was it. I kissed her passionately. My hands slid down from her face to her waist as hers tangled themselves into my hair. I pulled her closer to me. I needed her. The kiss deepened. This wasn't like our kisses before. I still had to hold myself back but I let go a little bit. Just like before. I could see where this was going and to be honest I didn't care. I needed Bella.

As I lowered her to the bed, being sure that I held my weight, I let my guard down, yet again. I know I shouldn't but she was here, after 5 years, willing to forgive, however much I cannot forgive myself, Bella was mine as I am hers.

We fitted together perfectly. Just like we did last time. Everything was going to be alright.

So, yeah, that's that.

Let me hear you say 'aww.'

Hope you liked.

Review?
