A/N – Thank you again for the response to the last chapter. Some of you were worried about my teaser and I apologize, this will be nothing but a lighthearted story, no angst I promise. Here is the next chapter. I still am very SLOWLY working my way through responding to reviews so thank you to those who have left them and I promise it will happen but I wanted to update first so here we go.

This is yet another one of my favorite chapters…I apparently have a few of them..hehe.

I guided Bella to the car, not sure of what I should say or do. Frankly I was a bit scared of her right now. I had never seen her so upset, I couldn't blame her but it was still frightening. She held on to me tightly before getting in the car. I just offered her the comfort that she seemed to need and then helped her into the car. She sat down with a sigh and looked out the window.

"Bella?" I put my hand against her hair, trying to get her to look at me. What I saw when she did look at me nearly broke my heart. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. I could tell that she was trying very hard to hold it all together and I felt like a monster. I had done this to her, me and my selfishness. I had gotten so caught up in this new experience that I didn't stop to think of the toll it might have on her. I was so quick to blame this all on Emmett that I never bothered to look at myself.

"Bella, please talk to me," I was pleading with her now. She couldn't talk, she was crying too hard now.

"What are they going to think of me now," she finally managed to get out. "They must think I am insane after that," she waved her hand back towards the house. Well this wasn't exactly what I had expected.

"Bella, love, why would they think you were insane?" I was completely baffled by this whole evening.

"Were you not there?" She stared at me, her eyes intense and her voice rising as she continued to talk. "I just went off on Emmett. I just completely lost it in front of your entire family! Please just take me home, I don't want them to hear anymore than they already have."

I started the car without a word. Quickly backing down the driveway I sped towards her house, trying to not catch her attention as I watched her out of the corner of my eye. She looked out the window and brushed her tears away.

Not a single word was uttered on the drive to her house. When I pulled up in front of the home she sat there and waited for me to let her out. I opened her door and helped her out of the car and then pulled her close to me, still not quite sure what to say to her.

I walked her to the door and she just stopped me at the door and then kissed me gently on the lips.

"I need to go in and talk to Charlie. I'll see you later on tonight okay," she hugged me tightly.

"Are you sure you are okay?" She just simply nodded and gave me one more kiss before she closed the door.

As I headed home I could only hope that Charlie wouldn't do anything drastic after he saw Bella in her obviously distressed state. I wasn't looking forward to the impending conversation with the family and the last thing I needed was to worry about what Charlie might do. With one last look at the house I drove away.

I walked in the door hoping that Charlie would be his usual unobservant self and that I could just go to bed. I should have known that given the way this day had gone so far that that wouldn't be the case. He was sitting in the couch and turned to me as soon as I had closed the door.

"Bella, what in the world happened? What did he do to you," he jumped up from the couch and walked to where his holster hung on the wall and started to put it on.

"Calm down Charlie," I took the holster out of his hands and placed it back on the hook where it belonged. "He didn't do anything to me." What to say now though because it was obvious that something had happened. Um…well I had sex in a tree with Edward which angered Emmett and we had a show down in the front room? No, that would not go over well.

"I'm waiting Bella, what happened?" I was really not enjoying Charlie's sudden interest in my life. On one hand it was nice to know he cared but on the other hand it was nice to be anonymous in your own home.

"I just got in a fight with Emmett," maybe he would just drop it now.

"Why in the world would you get in a fight with Emmett?" I wished Edward was here so he could let me know what Charlie was thinking so I could give the right answer right now.

"He was just teasing me and I couldn't take it anymore," that was true enough.

"Do I need to go and talk to him Bella?" He started to reach for the holster again. What in the world did he think Emmett had done to me?

"No, are you insane Charlie? You're going to go over there with a gun because he hurt my feelings? How do you think that Carlisle and Esme would take that? You are the Chief of Police in case you have forgotten," I shook my head just wanting this day to be over.

"I know Bella, I know. I just don't like seeing you hurting," he looked down as both of us did our best to avoid eye contact. This was worse than a sex talk. "Bella, do you mind sitting down and talking for a little while?"

I just went and sat down. I had done enough talking for one night but apparently I was not done quite yet.

"We've never discussed what happened the other night," his eyes traveled around the room, looking at the fish, the curtains, and the furniture. Anything but at me.

I just dropped my face into my hands. Could this really be happening? I said nothing, this was all him. I was in no way contributing any more than necessary.

"Well…I know that you…um…well…," this could take all night. Still I sat and waited.

"Well…um…so…," I yawned, not trying to be rude.

"Be safe," he sputtered, threw a pack of condoms at me and ran upstairs. Well that was a certainly a surprise. Poor Charlie had another thing coming if he thought safe sex was his biggest problem. I was just ready for this day to be over.

I pulled up to the house my mind still distracted by Bella. I could hear everyone assembled in the front room waiting for me.

"How is Bella doing?" Emmett asked as soon as I walked in. He still looked sad and I could tell he was concerned about her. He had obviously heard her crying as we left earlier.

"She's, I don't know, she's okay I think," I sat down on the couch and Esme came over to me and squeezed my shoulders.

"Edward I think that if tonight showed us anything it showed us that you're…I mean…we're wearing Bella a little thin. Perhaps it is time to take things easy."

How embarrassing was this? I had only been having sex for roughly a week now and I had already managed to screw things up horribly.

"Seriously Edward get a handle on yourself. You make me feel like I want to go and jump off a cliff. You need to learn some balance man. One second you're euphoric and the next you're ready to go and find a stray werewolf to take you out. You are killing me over here," we all looked up at Jasper in surprise.

"I'm sorry," how many times was I going to have to say that tonight?

"I'm not looking for an apology Edward. You just don't have to take everything to the extreme," he shook his head. Damn manic depressive vampire. He knew that I was certain to hear that.

"Anyone else have something that they need to say?" I looked around the room. I might as well just get this over with.

Emmett looked at me as if debating whether or not to say something. His decision made he didn't hold back.

"You already know how I feel Edward. I am happy for you, don't get me wrong, I think this is great but learn some limits. She is breakable dammit, you can hurt her!" He stood up and started to come over to me. I was willing to take whatever he had to throw at me. I deserved it all at the moment.

I watched him stalk over to me and was surprised when I was thrown the ground before he even got to me. "I told you to stop it dammit!" Jasper was on top of me pummeling my chest with his fists.

Suddenly he was gone, lifted off me. I looked up to see his legs dangling in the air over me.

"ENOUGH," well that was unexpected. It wasn't often that Esme reverted to using brute force. In fact I had never seen it happen. She set Jasper down next to Alice and Emmett just had to take one look at her before he ran back to Rosalie's side.

"What in the hell is wrong with all of you? Do you think that any of this is acceptable behavior?" Her chest was heaving with the force of her emotion. Carlisle stood and debated in his mind about whether or not he should approach her. With one look from her he correctly sat down.

"You," she pointed at me. "I know you love Bella, I know you want to make her happy and you are enjoying all of this newfound sexuality but honestly tone it down. Not only could you kill her you are killing all of us here. I'd like to be able to actually walk into my house after school sometimes."

I did nothing. Not a nod, not a shake of the head, nothing. Everyone was shocked. You didn't have to be a mind reader to notice that.

"Then you," I was thankful that she had switched her attention to Emmett. "She is not a damn toy! She is your brother's girlfriend and I expect you to treat her with some respect. I can understand that you like to tease but you have crossed the line Emmett. Did you see her tonight? Did you hear her in the car? You will think of a way to make this up to her." He nodded and looked down at his hands.

Jasper had been sitting there the whole time, looking slightly pained and slightly smug. He thought he was free and clear and this whole fiasco but Esme had other ideas.

"Oh, don't act all innocent in this," she now had his full attention. "Do you not think I can't tell when perhaps you egg Emmett on just a little bit or get so carried away that you have Edward take Bella in her sleep? Do you think that I don't know you well enough by now?"

We all looked at him in shock. He must have been very careful around me so that I never noticed these things. Of course I had been a bit preoccupied lately.

"Now next time Bella is over we are all going to sit down and have a talk with her. You will all apologize to her, even you," she pointed at me. "Then I want Carlisle to talk to her alone and make sure that she is really fine."

She took a deep breath and then sat down next to Carlisle.

"Thank you for letting me have a turn. Now please, let's continue."

We all looked at each other. No one wanted to follow that so no one said a thing.

"Well okay then, thank you everyone for taking the time to meet. Edward please let me know when Bella will be here again so I can make sure that we all will be here."

"Of course," I stood up from the couch, desperately needing to escape.

"Oh, and please find out what her favorite cookies are. I would like to make her a special treat," after today no request seemed too bizarre anymore.

"Of course mother," I went and kissed her cheek and joined the rest of my family upstairs.

This day had started up with fishing and ended with Esme losing it in front of all of us. I could only wonder what tomorrow would bring.

A/N Well…there you go. More coming very soon.

Next chapter title – Note to Self…..When Bella Wants Sex, Bella Gets Sex!!

Teaser:

"Um, and just where do you think you are going?" She pulled me back to her and attacked me with her lips.

"No, Bella, we can't I promised," it took everything I had to push her away from me. I got up from the bed and stood in the corner of the room.

"Sorry, did I miss something? Why in the world would you make promises to anyone other than me regarding our sex life?" She crossed her arms in front of her and waited for my response. Oh crap, now she was mad at me too.
