This is a story from my wild imagination that uses the awesome characters from Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer owns The Twilight Saga and all its true glory.

CHAPTER 20 Tests Excerpt

I told everyone about the scars, on both her back and stomach, when told about the ones on her stomach everyone froze, "That's what you were looking at this morning, wasn't it?" Emmett choked

I nodded my head, "They cover her entire upper body," I whispered as she finished her orange juice.

As my words left my mouth, my entire family, including my cousins, growled furious angry growls.

"I want him to pay," Bella said when they had stopped,

"He will," I said as I hugged her lightly.

"Edward, I want him to rot in jail," Bella added with tears in her eyes,

"I'll make sure of that," I said

"I'll call the police so we can make the claim," Carlisle said from upstairs.

CHAPTER 21: Cookies

I took Bella into the living room and asked her what movie she wanted to see, "We have every movie in the world so what's your favorite?"

"Romeo and Juliet" Bella said with a huge smile on her face.

"Really? No Notebook?" I chuckled as I text Rose which movie to bring from the attic.

"Nope, Romeo and Juliet are better," she said turning pink.

Rose came in with the movie and put it on, Bella snuggled into my chest as Alice, Rose, Kate, Carmen, and Esme did the same with Jasper, Emmett, Garrett, Eleazer, and Carlisle; Tanya and Irina were the only ones without a Romeo.

Five minutes after the movie was over there was a knock on the door, Bella immediately had her arms around me, holding on tightly.

"Jacob, how are you?" Carlisle said as her opened the door.

"I've been good thanks. Now what is it that you needed?" Jacob said.

"Well not really me but Edward's girl friend, Chief Swan's daughter." Carlisle responded as her lead Jacob into the living room.

"Bella? Is she ok?" he asked alarmed.

"She is now," Emmett mumbled, "sort of," he added under his breath.

"What happened?" Jacob said as he shook everyone's hand.

Bella had relaxed at hearing his voice, "Jake? Oh my gosh, you're a cop?"

"Yeah I am squirt." He said as he was about to hug her I stepped in between them.

"Sorry, but that's not a good idea," I said a little confused at her reaction

He gave me a weird look, "Carlisle, may I ask what's going on? You know that I do what I can with the circumstances"

"Why does he know?" Emmett asked

"Because we needed someone on the inside to help with the school, and the lawyers, and now Bella's brother." Carlisle said calmly.

"What's going on with James, and why can't I give my god daughter a hug?" Jake continued

"He's your god father?" I asked turning to face her, she nodded her head and Jasper started cracking up.

"Let's go to my office, Edward, Bella, and I will explain."

Once Jake knew what was going on, and why we had to take Jake down quickly, he wanted to look at Bella's scars. I didn't like it was like he was looking at our secret. I was the only one to have seen the scars in the first place; I didn't want him taking pictures of them either. But Bella agreed to it as long as I could stay with her while it was done.

When he finished his pictures, her statement, and mine he took statements from, Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, Tanya, Irina, Kate, Carmen, Garrett and Eleazer about what had happened when James had showed up at the house.

He left and I took Bella to her room, she was very tired again. The next day we had school and I didn't know if she would be able to endure it.

Narrator's POV

Tanya, Irina, Kate, Carmen, Garrett and Eleazer stayed the entire week. Bella made it through the week and on Friday Jake called and said that he would arrest James when he dis-boarded the plane that he and Bella's parents were getting into Forks in.

Edward's POV

When Bella heard that her parents were flying into town she didn't know what to do.

"Bella, I won't let them take you away, and once your brother is licked behind bars I'll change you. So think that four days after you brother is behind bars we'll be getting married.

She smiled a huge grin and I pressed my head to her forehead.

There was a knock on the door, I looked with my mind and froze.

"Hello Officer Black, how are you?" Carlisle asked formally.

"I'm good Mr. Cullen, thanks for asking. This is Renee, Bella's mom, and her husband, Phil." Jake continued, "They would like to speak with Bella, as would I."

"Of course come in, I'll get her." Carlisle said as he led them into the living room where the others greeted them as Carlisle came to the kitchen where Esme, Bella and I were waiting. "Bella, Renee and Phil along with Jacob are here to see you. If you don't want to be alone with them, we are all right here if you so wish." Carlisle said as he took Esme's hand and led the way.

"Let's go" Bella whispered as she held my arm tightly.

"I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere," I assured her as I put my arm around her waist and walked into the living room a few steps behind Carlisle and Esme.

"He was right you are a whore," Renee said standing up and walking towards Bella, her hand getting ready to swing.

I pulled Bella behind me, "Put a single finger on her, and you will never enter this house again,"

"Are you threatening my wife you jackass?" Phil said standing next to her,

"No, out parents taught us not to hit women," Emmett said from behind him.

"But that doesn't count when you are one," Rose said as she made room for Esme on the couch.

"How about we cool down for a minute," Jack stepped in.

I nodded my head slightly at Jasper, who immediately sent calming waves around the room.

"Now Bella, I want you to know that James is pleading guilty. He thought that would lower his sentence, but after the judge saw the pictures we took, and read the statements your…" he paused knowing this would cause problems, "… family gave, the judge decided to lock him up for life, under rape of a minor, brutality, and stalking charges."

I smiled as Bella got up and gave him a hug, "Thank you so much!"

He hugged her back and she squeaked in pain, tears immediately filling her eyes, "Oh shit, I'm sorry…"

But I interrupted, "No man it's not your fault,"

"Hold on sweaty, Rose can you get her some ice to numb the pain?" Esme asked as she sat Bella next to me.

Jake looked at Carlisle without turning his head and Carlisle mouthed later. Rose came back and gave me the bag of ice which I gave to Bella so she could put it where it hurt, then I held it in place for her, as I held her close.

"Can we continue?" Jake asked worried. Bella nodded her head and he added, "Renee has asked me to bring her here because she is your legal guardian, and she wants to take you back with her."

Bella looked up immediately and into my eyes which were waiting for hers, "Bella doesn't have to go anywhere that she doesn't want to," I began and as Phil was about to speak I continued, "Bella and I are going to get married soon, we just wanted this situation to be resolved. She is going to be 18 in two months, and we already checked she doesn't need parental approval."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Renee yelled,

"Nothing is wrong with me!" Bella yelled as she stood up and almost fell from moving too quickly, I got up and steadied her. "Edward and his family, which is now mine to, helped me and believed in me when you didn't. They didn't even know me and they allowed me into their home. In the last four months Esme has been more of a mother than you ever wher," Belled screamed at her mother with tears falling down her face,

"Bitch," Renee yelled as she lunged for Bella, but Jake stopped her,

"You are aware that if she so chooses to she can press charges on you and your husband as well?" he said menacingly.

Renee looked from him to me, to Bella, and then to the rest of my family, "Phil lets go," and they left the house.

Bella's legs gave out and I picked her up, she sobbed into my shirt.

"You did great sweetheart," Esme said as she went into the kitchen to make Bella her favorite kind of cookies.

"You are very brave Bella," Tanya said as she came dow stairs with her family in toe.

"I see how you look at our cousins," Kate added,

"Bella, may we call you cousin as well?" Irina asked

Belled stopped sobbing for a moment and said, "I would love that," then looked up into my eyes from my lap and said, "Thank you so much Edward, I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you love, and your family."

"NO," I said firmly and her eyes widened, "We don't know where we'd be without each other's love and our family," I kissed her gently and nuzzled her neck. "I love you baby"

"We all love Bella, but I think we should go into the kitchen, Esme's cookies are almost ready." Emmett said.

"I thought you didn't eat human food," Bella asked confused

"We don't usually," Rose responded

"But Esme's cookies are delicious," Jasper put in

"So we eat them!" Alice giggled.

Bella giggled but stopped because of the pain, "Don't worry baby now that this is all cleared up, I'll make you better." I whispered into her ear.

Carlisle and Jake came back from the porch, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the bruises hurt so much," he said as he held out his hand to Bella, then looking at me he said, "Bella's dad may have passed but I'm still here to take care of her if you mess with her heart." I nodded my head in agreement.

"You're not the only one" I said pointedly looking at Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett.

Jake left and we all sat around the dining table eating cookies and talking for hours,

When Bella got sleepy I carried her up stairs gently and lay her down on her bed. I went to change quickly and returned to her side. She rested her head on my chest and fell asleep as I hummed to her.

I know vampires don't eat but in my world they eat cookies.

So deal with it if you don't like it = P
