Okay,I would just like to say that I deeply apologize for not updating. My grandmother broke my computer and I had to wait three weeks to get it going again. I had the chapter all typed out and everything.

Then the computer broke and lost all my documents. I have to redo my chapter and stuff. This really bites.

Well,here you go.

Chapter Twenty Five

What Do We Do Now?

Three Years Later

Bella's Pov

It has been three years since the night of the wedding. The night everything changed for the better. We haven't seen or heard from Victoria,so we all assumed she had decided to leave and never come back. Sadly,Alice had her doubts. Edward on the other hand wouldn't make up his decision in fear that it will go against him and turn the tables.

Coreen was now turning three in a few days. Alice wanted to throw her a big party to celebrate her three years of being in this family. But as I remembered all of Alice's parties,I convinced her otherwise. Alice would probably invite people she didn't know,or people she met at the mall.

"Bella!" Rosalie's voice echoed through the hallways. "Bella!" I rolled my eyes and closed the book I was reading. Romeo and Juliet was something I enjoyed reading when I had alone time. Coreen loved me reading it to her when she laid down for her sleep. Sleep was something only she could consume. She could feed on human food,sleep and basically live a normal life until she turned around seven years old. Carlisle ran some tests on her to determine what kind of life she would have. Around age seven she will stop growing. She will no longer sleep and blood would be her new life savior.

Rosalie stormed into Edward's and my room,holding up one of her new sweaters. "You better do something about this Isabella!"

I raised an eyebrow. "And what would I be doing what about?"I asked,completely lost. I hated it when Rosalie was like this. It was like talking to a robot without the brain disk.

Rose held up the sweater. "Coreen put this in the wash,Bella. The wash! My clothes are dry cleaned only and she ruined the color." I glanced over the sweater. The color looked perfectly fine to me,but I knew Rose wouldn't appreciate the comment.

"Fine,Ill speak to her."I stood up,feeling sad that I had to leave the worlds' most beautiful book behind. I already knew the book by heart,but it still doesn't hurt to read it over. It soothed me. It made me remember back when I thought love wasn't possible.

I walked passed Rosalie's angered body,and down to the kitchen. Coreen would be in the kitchen with Esme,baking cookies. Esme loved cooking for Coreen,even though we have to remind her that Coreen was only a small child so she couldn't eat too much. Esme never complained when Coreen said she was hungry. We all think its because Esme feels more human when she cooks. Whatever made Esme happy,made us all happy.

I entered the kitchen,spotting Esme mixing some batter into a mixing bowl. Coreen was on her tip toes,on one of the kitchen chairs,trying to hand Esme the ingredients. Esme glanced up at me and then down at Coreen. She understood that it was time for me to do my motherly job,and retreated into the next room.

Coreen's hair had cascaded down to the middle of her back in brown curls. Her blue-green eyes had decided on the color green,just like Edward's normal eye color had been. Her skin was like porcelain,just lie the rest of us,but held a hint of a red tint on her cheeks.

Coreen seemed confused for a moment,then saw me with a grim look. She slowly sat down on the chair,waiting for her punishment. I chuckled softly. She was so adorable. "Coreen...."I knelt down in front of her so that I could peer into her green eyes. "What did you do to Rosalie's sweater?"

She hesitated,trying not to make eye contact with me.

"Coreen...." I warned. "You have to tell me or you'll go to your room until your daddy comes home." Edward had taken the day with Jasper and Emmett to go hunting. I chose to stay home for Coreen's sake.

"I was helping Aunt Wosey." Coreen muttered in the faintest voice. "I thought I was helping." Her green eyes met mine,and I couldn't help but smile. I hugged her lightly and kissed her head.

"Well you accidentally ruined her shirt sweetie." I brushed my finger along her cheek. "How about we buy her a new sweater? So she won't stay mad at you." Her eyes brightened up at the idea.

"Otay!"She jumped down. "Can I go outside mommy?"She asked,pulling on my pant leg. I nodded and watched her dance off out of the room. You know how mothers always say taking care of a life is hard work? In my case,its not so bad. Coreen has always been a good listener when she knows she has to listen.

My thoughts were cut off by someone circling their arms around my waist,from behind. If I didn't know who it was,I would have jumped and knocked them flat on their ass,but I knew who it was. He kissed the nook of my neck,then whispered into my ear, "Hmmm...Don't you look so relaxed." He chuckled lowly.

"Edward,"I moaned. "stop that." He laughed and released me. "How was your hunt?"I asked,putting Coreen's chair back at the table. "Catch any mountain lions for me?"

"One or two."He leaned against the counter top,making sure not to knock over the bowl with the mixing batter. "What was that about?"He nudged his head towards the door where Coreen danced off.

"Rose complained about a sweater Coreen put into the wash. I'm going to have Coreen pick out a new shirt for Rose so she wouldn't stay mad at her."I shrugged. "It was a misunderstanding." I leaned up and kissed Edward's cheek. Three years and neither of us have changed.

Edward took my hand and guided me to his grand piano in the next room,away from the screaming Rose and frantic Alice. Even in the next room,we could hear Rose complain to Emmett about the little accident,and Alice chastising Jasper about his idea of clothing. Poor Jazz,all these years with Alice and he still doesn't understand you need to console with Alice before wearing anything.

Edward sat down at his piano,patting the empty space on his bench for me to join him. I slid in beside him and rested my head on his shoulder. This was nice. The happiest times of my life are with the man beside me right now. He grazed his hands over his keyboards before playing my song. I couldn't keep from smiling the whole time.

We sat in silence the whole time he played the song. A very comfortable silence,not the silence you get when your hostile towards one another. The past three years have been nothing but peaceful. Sure we have come to close calls with other unknown vampires,but they always had respect for my family and wouldn't push any issues towards us. If only we could have this peace forever....

"Bella,can I speak to you?" Alice poked her head into the room,with a frown on her usual cheerful smile.

I looked up at Edward who had stopped playing. He wouldn't catch my gaze. Something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong. "Um,sure Alice." I got up and followed Alice up to her room.

"Have a seat Bella...."She pointed to her bed. This wasn't good.

Edward's Pov

I spent the whole day away from my family to be with Jasper and Emmett on what they would like to call a 'Boys Day Out'. Which was idiotic if you ask me. All Emmett did the whole time was complain about how there were no bears around the area. He wanted to travel up to Canada so he could wrestle a bear! Of course Jasper and I declined and said if he wanted to go,he could go without us. He didn't like that idea.

"Fine,damn you two are party poopers."He grumbled. Jasper and I just laughed at his poor attempts to getting us to go along with his idea.

"Should we be heading back now?"I asked,not trying to sound anxious.

"Awe,Eddy wants to go bang his wife and play tea party with his kid." Emmett joked. I glared at him.

Jasper placed a hand on my shoulder. "Don't listen to him. He's jealous of what you and Bella share."He smirked. "You share more then sex. You share a bond. Unlike the freaky couple."He pointed to Emmett.

"Hey!"Emmett frowned. "Rose and I have more then just sex."

"Sure you do."Jasper and I said in unison.

Emmett was about to reply when I took off to the house. I wanted to see my Bella again. I wanted to hold her,kiss her and tell her how much I loved her. Coreen's birthday was only in a mere three days. Even though she was only two,she could speak like she was twice her age. Though she has problems with her 'R's.

The house came into view only minutes later. Jasper and Emmett ran up behind me and into the house. I followed Bella's scent to the kitchen,where she was talking to Coreen about something. Coreen's eyes lit up about something Bella said,then jumped down from the chair. "Can I go outside mommy?"Coreen asked,pulling on Bella's pant leg. Bella nodded and watched her leave. I took that chance to come up behind her and try to startle her.

Sadly,she knew it was me. I kissed her neck. "Hmmm...Don't you look so relaxed."I laughed.

"Edward," she whispered, "stop that." She warned. I obliged and leaned against the counter. She was so beautiful today. Better yet,she's like that every day.

I asked her what was it she was talking to Coreen about,and found out she ruined one of Rose's sweaters. I led Bella into the piano room so we could at least have alone time,but was only there for a short few minutes. I played her song,but Alice came in to interrupt.

"Bella,can I speak to you?"She asked,her thoughts were full of sorrow. 'Mike Newton was killed last night....Its all over the news.' She thought to me. I couldn't imagine how this would affect Bella.

"Um,sure Alice."Bella followed Alice to her room. Mike Newton was one of Bella's classmates when she was going to school. He was one of her friends,or so she says. Ive seen Newton around town. How someone like him came to be friends with Bella,was beyond me. He was rude and only wanted sex out of all the girls he met.

I raced to the living room and turned off the Xbox Emmett was playing. Ignoring his shouts,I switched the channel to the news. They were standing outside of Newtons camping store. My family were their greatest customers back when we use to actually pretend to go camping.

The young woman held the microphone up to her mouth and spoke with full authority. "Thank you Stan,now I am here in front of the Newtons' store where they sell the towns finest camping equipment. Last night,around eleven at night,someone broke into the store where Mike Newton,the owners' son,was locking up for the night. It is said whoever did this was full of rage."She paused. "There are no confirmation on who exactly would be behind this attack,but the police department is well aware that the killer may be still around the town. Until further information,I am Caitlin Muller for the channel 4 news." And then they changed the scene to some basketball game.

Emmett whistled. "Wow,didn't know someone would hate Mike that much."He shrugged and took the remote out of my hand. "I think Jessica Stanley did it."He grinned,making me smack him across the head. "Ow! Why'd you do that?!"

"Mike was one of Bella's friends."I muttered,walking up the stairs to Alice's room. Whoever killed Mike,couldn't have been human. The door of the store was wide open when the news reporter was speaking. I could make out a lot of blood on the floor. Too much blood for any human to have anything to do with it. A human wouldn't be able to make that big of a mess before the cops came.

Bella's Pov

Alice paced her room in front of me. "Alice,tell me. Please? Your making me nervous."I pointed out,messing with a rip that had formed in my jeans.

"Okay,Bella. Do you remember a boy from your high school named Mike Newton?"Her voice was low,and full of concern.

That was a stupid question. Of course I did. He was a good friend. Sure,he wanted to be more then a friend to me,but he knew his limits into pushing things. "Yes,why?"

Alice rubbed her forehead. "Last night someone broke into his store...."She stopped,letting the information sink in. "Someone killed Mike,Bella. I'm so sorry."

Did I hear right?

My mouth fell open. I felt like my dad died all over again. Most of the time Mike was a big annoyance in everyone's life,but he was nice to me when others weren't. He was a big part of my life.

"Bella,are you okay?"Alice asked,stroking my hand.

I coughed slightly and nodded. "Yeah,just...I can't believe it. Do you know who it was that did it?"

She shook her head. "No,Ive tried to look for someone. But nobody is coming into my mind. Either they know of my ability and is evading my vision seeking,or they just killed Mike and won't kill again."

I hear Edward approach the door. "You can come in,Edward. I'm fine."I told him before he could ask. Edward walked in and gave me a tight squeeze,showing how he cared about my feelings.

"I believe a vampire was the cause of Newtons death."Edward spoke up. Alice and I both stared at him. "On the T.V,they showed the building with the door open. I could spot the blood. A lot of it. Whoever did that wasn't human and wasn't in control."

One name entered my mind. "Victoria..."I covered my mouth as the name escaped my lips. "She's back."

"Wait,we don't know that for sure,love."Edward stroked my hair.

"Edward,Alice can't see whoever did that. Victoria knows of Alice's ability and knows how to go around it. She's back Edward. You know it."I crossed my arms. "I want Coreen inside."

Alice nodded and exited to go get Coreen. If Victoria was back,then I didn't want Coreen out of my sight. Better yet,I didn't want anyone leaving without someone else with them. That even went for Alice and her shopping.

Edward leaned against the wall,with me in his arms."Okay,lets say it was Victoria. Why would she go after Newton and not us? She could easily find us if she wanted to."

"I know,thats the only thing that doesn't make since."I wanted to kill her. She was trying to tell us something. Was she telling us that she was coming for us soon? Or was she letting us know that she was alive and well.

"Bella,no matter what the reason,we will get through this. We always do."Edward kissed my lips softly. I melted into his arms,not wanting to let go.

We broke the kiss when Alice came in with Coreen at hand. "Daddy!"She squealed,jumping passed me and into Edward's arms.

"Hey there sweet heart. Were you good for your mommy?"Edward chuckled.

"Ummmmm...."Coreen paused. "Yes and no. I was bad for Aunt Wosey. But mommy and I will fix it!"

I couldn't look away from Edward and Coreen. If Victoria was back,they would be in danger. My whole family would be in danger. Then a thought hit me. "Edward,lets move."

"Move?"Edward,Alice and Coreen said at once.

"Yes,lets move away from Forks. If she is back,she will leave to come after us. Everyone would be safe in some way. We would be safe because we would have each other and the people of Forks would be safe because danger would leave." I was talking so frantically,I couldn't stop. "It would be logical."

Edward thought for a moment,staring at Coreen's confused face. "I will speak to Carlisle about it." His voice was low. He knew I had a point.

Alice spoke up. "He won't see a problem with it. He will tell you that our time here should be up soon anyways. People will begin to get suspicious if stay. Not aging and stuff. Plus the students from Forks High will notice Bella around too. More the reason to leave." Alice grabbed a few suitcases.

"Alright then. We will leave in a week."Edward sat Coreen down on the floor,who walked over to me.

"Mommy,what's going on?"

"Nothing honey. We're going to take a little trip."I picked her up and went to her room,where I started to gather up some of her things. Edward came in and hugged me tightly. "I'm doing it again,aren't I?"

"Doing what?"

"Ruining everyone's life again." If he says I'm not,he would be lying to me. This is exactly I felt when I first came into their lives.

"Bella,we are only going to move for a little while. We will return another day."He kissed me softly. "Don't you dare say this is your fault. If its anyone's fault,its mine. Victoria is only causing us problems because I killed James."

I didn't say anything more. This was an argument I couldn't win. So I hugged him. I hugged him as if this would be the last time I would be with him. I know we weren't in any danger right now,but I had a feeling it will get worse before we can even think about it getting better.

The questions that flows through my mind right now,is what do we do now? Where will we go? Will we have to start all over? Ive only been a vampire for three years,and Edward has been a vampire for over eighty. How does the whole moving thing work?

"Lets get Coreen's things."Edward suggested,going through Coreen's closet. Whatever happens,we will be together. Coreen,Edward and I. Our family will follow us wherever we go and whatever we do. Nothing can break this family apart.

Okay,I know its not exavtly much. But the last chapter I had written out was way better then this. The thing is,I don't remember what I wrote and my computer crashed so it was lost. I hope you liked it....
