I wanted to try and explain to readers, a little bit on Edward's behavior. This is an explanation that I gave one of my reviewers. So, here is what I'm loosely basing his character on.

As for Edward's attitude, I'm basing that off of him being alone, (while everyone around him has a mate) for so long, now that he has someone he feels strongly for he is OVER protective. Kind of like when you get a new puppy, all of a sudden EVERYTHING is dangerous and you're worried sick if it's not in your sights. Plus, his mate is human unlike the others, so he's treating her like she is made of glass for fear of her getting hurt or worst, losing her. Much like in the original story.

I hope this helps!

Last Time-

"Only if you promise to stay with me." I said softly.

He reached down and picked me up bridal style, kissing me on my forehead, before answering.

"Always."

I awoke some time later, when I looked outside; I saw that it was dark. I tried to stretch out my limbs, and that's when I realized that I wasn't alone in the bed. I turned my head up, and locked eyes with Edward, who was looking back at me.

Then, I remembered the circumstances that led us to being here together.

"You stayed." I stated, more then asked.

"Of course I did, I promised would." He answered quietly, as he raised his hand to remove a strand of hair that had fallen in my face. He took a deep breath, and let it out heavily.

"Bella-"

"Edward-"

We both started at the same time, I smiled, encouraging him to continue.

"No, you first Bella." He said.

"No you. What I was going to say will take a bit of time, so go ahead." I prompted.

He ran a hand through his unruly hair before starting. "Bella, I want to apologize for my behavior. As you have said, I say one thing and do something else entirely. It's unfair to you, I shouldn't have been so forceful, and for that I am sorry."

I looked into his eyes for a moment, and a look of sincere regret could be found in them.

"Thank you for apologizing, it means more to me then you would imagine." I said softly, pulling my bottom lip between my teeth, and began nibbling it.

"Bella, if you don't mind my asking, but did something happen to you that involved hypodermic needles? I mean you were shaking pretty badly." He inquired quietly, as he placed his thumb under my bottom lip, pulling it out from between my teeth.

"That brings me to what I was going to tell you, just now." I began, "The details are a bit hazy, I was fairly young at the time. But I remember going to the hospital with Charlie, for what, I don't remember." I paused for a moment, "Now that I think about it, I wonder if we were just getting routine checkups done. Which still doesn't really make sense, but anyways, we were both there, and the doctors were checking our heart rate, blood pressure, and all that stuff. Well, I guess the results on some of their tests came back…strange."

"Strange? How so?" Edward asked as he began to lightly trail his fingers up and down my arm, sending involuntary shivers down my spine.

I watched him make several circuits, before responding.

"Uh…strange like, Charlie's blood pressure being dangerously high, but that didn't seem to pose any threat to his heart what-so-ever. And when they did simple tests on me, the nurses' realized that my core body temperature was also abnormally high." I hesitated for a moment, briefly trying to collect my thoughts.

"So happened then?" Edward prompted.

"Well the nurses' in turn, called the doctor in to try and explain the situation. The doctor took Charlie into another room, making me stay behind in the room that we shared. He was gone for the longest time, and I remember asking the nurse that came into our room later, where he was at and when he would be coming back." I stopped to take a breath before continuing, "She gave me a sympathetic look before saying, 'We think that your daddy is very sick, so we had to take him to another room that way he doesn't get you sick too.' I was little, so I didn't really understand what was going on, all I knew was that Charlie was 'sick' and I was by myself."

I sucked in a shaky breath and I realized that a few silent tears had escaped, leaving wet trails down my cheeks.

"Shh Bella, you can stop if you want to. You don't have to explain if it makes you uncomfortable." Edward soothed, gently wiping away my tears.

I nodded before continuing, "That's when they started running the tests on me. When the doctors' read my test results they thought that there might be something wrong with me too. That's when they started the blood work…lots of blood work."

I shuddered as I remembered the lonely nights that I was away from Charlie.

"The doctor's would always come in with their scary needles and take more blood. If there's one thing I remember the clearest, was the pain, it always hurt when they stuck me with the hypodermic needles. They didn't even bother being nice about it, they would come in harshly stick me, and silently leave me alone again." I stayed quiet for a moment, concentrating on Edward's touch.

"Then, instead of the doctor's coming through the door, to my extreme happiness, Charlie did. I ran into his awaiting open arms, crying tears of joy, as he kissed my cheeks over and over again. We were released about an hour later, and that was the day I met Billy Black." I said thoughtfully. "Billy and his son Jacob, have been a close part of our family ever since that day. I never did ask Charlie what that whole ordeal was about, it was something I just wanted to forget about."

Now that I thought about it, I regretted never asking Charlie about the circumstances of our release from the hospital.

"So when I saw Jasper walking towards me with the needle…it took me back to when I was younger. The unfeeling expression on his face, and that's also why I asked you to stay with me afterwards. I didn't want to be alone after experiencing a memory like that one." I finished with a deep sigh.

I craned my neck to look up at Edward, to see he had an unreadable expression on his face, and his lips were pressed together in a firm line.

He looked down at me, locking his smoldering gaze with mine. "Bella I swear to you on my life that neither I, nor anyone else will EVER do anything like that again. I can't express how deeply sorry and ashamed I am, for putting you through something like that. And, I'm sorry it took you confessing your traumatic memory, to get me to feel this way."

I didn't respond to him, instead letting his words hang in the air. Just then a small yawn escaped me, and I remembered that it was still very late.

"Sleep now love," He whispered placing a small kiss on my forehead. "Tomorrow is another day."

I snuggled into Edward and the covers more, and then as an afterthought, I craned my neck up to Edward and placed a small kiss on his cheek before settling down again.

"Night Edward." I mumbled, already dozing off.

"Have the sweetest of dreams, my Bella." He murmured, pulling me tightly to his chest.

And for once…I didn't complain.
