Hey everyone! So I know that I fail at life because it has been entirly too long since I updated! The story has just been under some major reconstruction and I had to redo A LOT OF IT!

But I tried to hurry and get this to you as quick as possible. I didn't even let me beta look at it and she will probably shoot me with a comma gun when she sees that I posted it lol Love you Somebody's Bella.

I just really wanted to get this out there before everyone started totally hating me for taking so long to update :(

Hopefully now that I have gotten most of my ducks in a row the updates will go a lot quicker.

Thanks to Virgoleen for prereading. She and I have had some very intense conversations about the plot line of the story and it is going to be a doozy :):):)

Can't wait to get the reactionf rom this one so let's start :) Stephenie Owns BTW

Go read now :):):):)

I didn't stop running as he smiled and moved towards me slowly at first but then he started running as well. And I know it's really cliché but we ran into each other's arms and as we met, I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist while I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and held him to me.

"Bella." He nearly moaned in relief and I felt his lips touch my temple. Tears ran down my face as I took a deep breath and inhaled his scent.

Home.

"Edward." I moaned back and relaxed into his arms for the first time since Saturday.

He sat me down and grabbed my face in his hands as our lips crashed together. I lost my breath for a second and couldn't stop the tears flowing down my face. They were happy tears. I finally felt whole, complete, now that he was here and in my arms. I leaned into his kiss and wrapped my hands into his hair as I held him close to me.

He gripped my waist and pulled me tightly to him as his arms wrapped around my back so that I couldn't move. There was lots of padding on his chest that was keeping us separated and I wanted to feel him, I wanted to have his hot skin pressing against mine.

"Edward." I mumbled against his mouth and pulled back as his forehead touched mine.

"I know baby." He knows exactly what I need in this moment and if I had to guess he probably needed it too. "Bella I love you so much."

I sighed and smiled for the first time in what felt like forever, truly smiled. "I love you too, Edward."

We held each other for several more minutes not caring that Rosalie and Emmett were around. "Let's go home." He finally said and I couldn't have agreed more.

When we separated ourselves I looked around and saw Emmett and Rosalie in her office trying to ignore us. Edward whistled and got their attention. When Emmett looked up he waved at them and motioned for his cousin to follow.

Emmett walked us to the door and as we walked out hand in hand I turned and smiled at Emmett. "Thank you."

He grinned and winked at me then looked to Edward. "Rosalie said to get a hotel room, it's not safe for either of you to be in a well-known area."

Edward tensed up lightly beside of me and nodded. "I've got it taken care of."

Emmett nodded and said, "Be careful, and you might want to check his video shack, got some good footage that should put him away for awhile."

Edward grinned and said, "That was you?"

Emmett nodded with a big goofy grin on his face. "Yeah, I snuck over there with intentions of saving Bella's ass before Jacob got to the videos. Found that one and figured it could be of some good use."

"You put the video up?" I asked him and didn't even realize he could get into the building let alone screw up the computer system. "Pissed Jacob off pretty well, good job."

"Oh, I know. I was there…hiding in the corners." He said and laughed lightly.

I suddenly felt myself go white. "You were there? You heard that-"

"It's ok, Bella. I didn't believe any of it." He said and patted my arm. "Go home and get some rest. I'll keep your secret if you keep mine."

I was confused about what he meant for a moment then I saw him nod towards the gym and I realized he meant Aro. He didn't want his father-in-law getting busted and in all fairness I owed it to the man to keep his secret. He saved my life.

"Sure thing, Emmett." I said with a smile.

"Ready?" Edward asked and tugged on my hand.

I turned to him and sighed heavily as I nodded. "Yes, I am."

"Take care Emmett." Edward said and pulled me to the passenger seat of the cruiser. I slid in and waited for Edward to get into the driver seat.

When he was in and buckled we started down the road heading out of town. I didn't ask where we were going and I didn't care. I just wanted to be alone with him. After a few minutes of silence, I reached over and took Edward's hand in mine. He grinned and kissed the back of my hand softly.

"I'm almost afraid to ask what you and Emmett were talking about." He said and looked at me curiously with raised eyebrows.

I grinned and said, "There was a reason I crushed the bug, Edward."

His eyebrows furrowed and he looked a little upset. "You crushed the bug?"

I nodded and stared at our joined hands. "Yes, I had to."

I could feel him frowning and then he shook his head and kissed my hand again. "I don't think I even want to know, do I?"

I bit my lip and shook my head, "Probably, not."

He sighed and nodded as he took a turn towards the interstate and started down the road. "Where are we going?"
Edward breathed slowly and said, "Phoenix. Jenks wants us to get out of town for a day or two…there are still some lose ends and he doesn't want to put you in the line of fire again."

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "And the pack?"

"In jail, some with a few more bruises than the others." He seemed to grin at that.

It was contagious and I felt myself grinning as well. "Jacob? You punched him?"

He grinned and said, "Once or twice…Jared got the worse of it though."

I smiled and leaned across the center of the car to kiss his cheek softly. "I love you and your bad temper."
He laughed and said, "So did they."

I giggled lightly and leaned back in the seat as Edward circled my hand with his thumb. In a couple of hours we got off the interstate and drove to a gas station near the exit. We weren't there yet and I was surprised to see a black Mercedes sitting there waiting on us.

"Safety protocol." Edward said as he helped me out of the car and into the Mercedes. Before he got in he stripped his bullet vest off and tossed it into the backseat with his gun and a few other items. Then he pulled out a hoodie for himself and a black sweatshirt for me.

Once he was in the driver seat of the darkly tinted car we headed for the interstate. "They parked a car here for you?"

He nodded and said, "In case we were being followed by the tracking device on the cruiser."

I nodded lightly and took his hand once we were on the interstate again. It was late and I was getting a little sleepy. Edward must have noticed when I kept dosing off. He laughed and kissed me swiftly before putting his eyes back on the road.

"Go to sleep, I will wake you when we get there." He said softly and I kissed his hand before curling up with his arm and slipping into a peaceful sleep.

I must have been exhausted because I slept really well to have been in a car. Maybe it was because I was finally safe and with Edward. We were next to each other and were away from all of the trouble.

I woke up to a soft mumble of Edward's voice. Looking to the clock on the dash I realized it was nearly four in the morning. Glancing to him I saw he was on the phone and was talking angrily to someone.

"I just really wanted to believe her…she seemed so broken." He sighed and then pinched the bridge of his nose and I was worried for a moment about wrecking but then I realized we weren't moving and the car was parked. I looked up and saw a hotel sitting in front of us.

"At least she told someone the truth…did you catch Emily and Leah when they got to the hospital?"

I watched his head bob up and down a few times and then he looked over at me. Sensing my worry he just smiled and leaned over kissing me swiftly on the forehead.

"Yeah she is ok. Just tired…we both are…Ok Jenks….Yeah…Night."

He ended the phone call and slid the phone into one of the cup holders between us. I sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

He smiled brightly and said, "I didn't mean to wake you."

I frowned at him and sat up a little straighter. "What's wrong?"

He stared at me for a moment and then sighed heavily before saying. "Kim..."

I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. "Is she ok? What happened?"

Another long sigh and he was staring at his lap making me even more nervous.

"Edward?"

"Kim is Jacob's half sister…"

What? I stared at him in disbelief and then immediately got disgusted at the mentioning of his name. Before I could respond Edward was going on.

"She gave a confession to one of the cops earlier tonight. Told him that Jacob had insisted on her joining the pack and when she refused and ran away they found her in town one night with her friends. They drugged her and brought her back and Jacob marked her with a paw print. Apparently the way he saw it if she wouldn't join him in the pack he would mark her. She lived like that for a couple of years, was given to Jerod as a gift-because he was the most cruel and Jacob wanted her to suffer. Yesterday he called her before everything hit the fan. Told her that she would never escape and that Emily and Leah were on their way to get her to bring her back to him…back to Jerod."

I felt tears swell up in my eyes as I listened to this. It was going in a very dark direction that I didn't like…at all! But Edward went on…

"She called one of the detectives into the room after trying to get a hold of me several times. She gave her final confession, said that everything she had told me was a lie and she was only trying to protect herself from them. So after she was left alone and every officer in the hospital sat watch for Emily and Leah, Kim killed herself."

I gasped loudly and covered my mouth in shock. Tears streaked my face as I thought about that beautiful poor beaten girl. She would have had such a happy life if she would have just gotten a chance at it. Instead she had to be related to a sadistic brother and had to be sucked into the worse lifestyle a human being could ever live.

"But you know," Edward said as he picked at imaginary lent on his jeans. "She is better off…she would have been traumatized after the things that she had seen-if she would have even gotten away from Emily and Leah. She thought that she had no other choice." He shook his head and swallowed back his emotion. "If she would have just told me sooner…I could have done something. Got her transferred…put into a protection program. I could have done anything…"

"Hey," I instantly said and grabbed both of his hands in mine. I dipped my head down until I caught his eye making him look at me. "You can't blame yourself, Edward. You didn't know the truth, you didn't know that they would come after. You had no way of knowing."

He grimaced and turned to look out of the window. I swear it looked like there were tears in his eyes and that completely broke my heart. I didn't want to see him like that. I tugged on his hands and when he looked at me I leaned forward and kissed him.

"I love you." I said as I rested our foreheads together.

He released a heavy sigh and said, "I love you too."

We checked into the hotel under a different name, Anthony Masen. We were given our keys and headed upstairs to our room. It was a one bed room with a king size bed in the center of the room and a small bathroom in the corner. I wanted a shower and I wanted to relax in the tub with Edward but right now…I was so exhausted. I could tell that Edward was battling with the same thing but we looked at each other in question debating time in the shower or sleep. He quirked an eyebrow at the bed and I nodded.

"Sleep."

He laughed and pulled me to him and kissed me quickly on the lips before crawling under the covers. We only pulled our shoes off and climbed in to snuggle close to each other. I sighed when we were lying under the covers and Edward pulled me into his side as I wrapped an arm around his waist and pressed my lips to his neck.

"I love you." I whispered against his skin.

"I love you too, baby." He said and kissed my forehead.

We woke up the next morning with the sun shining through the pulled curtains. It was almost blinding my eyes and when I looked over to the nightstand and the clock I saw that it was nearly two in the afternoon. Edward was still out cold and I didn't mind staying right here until he was awake. The past week had been absolutely crazy and I was so glad that it was over and that we were back together where we belonged. Edward woke up about fifteen minutes after I did and it was a good thing because I had to go to the bathroom and I didn't know how much longer I could lay there and wait.

After we each showered and dressed in the clothes that were left in the car for us. Edward let me use his phone to call Alice. She was angry at first because I hadn't called sooner. Then she spent about ten minutes blessing Edward out for not doing something sooner then she cried because I had been involved in that. It was an emotional conversation to say the least. When I was off the phone with her I called my father.

He is so oblivious to the real world he had no idea that I had been in trouble. It wasn't that he was neglecting or that he didn't care it's just that he never steps outside of Forks and the problems there. He thought that I had simply been sick and I didn't tell him the truth because I didn't want to worry him. So after a short conversation with him I fell back onto the bed with Edward and curled into his side.

"I feel so exhausted but I'm not sleepy at all." I said and ran a hand over his chest.

"I understand completely, although I think I am sleepy. I haven't slept since…I don't know when." He said and shook his head.

I sat up on my arm and leaned down to kiss him softly. "I missed you so much." I muttered quickly and then pressed our lips together again.

Edward's hand twisted into my hair and held me in place as his other hand ran down my arm and wrapped around my hip. I hummed and rolled over until I was on top of him, straddling his waist. Yes, it had been a long, traumatic week but this is what I needed. I wanted him. I needed to be with him and feel him against me as we made love. I needed him to make me forget everything that has happened in the past week.

Edward gripped my hip and grinded my hips against his as his mouth started down my jaw.

"Baby, please…I need you so badly." I muttered and felt his lips make their way back up to mine as his hands moved to my shirt. He started tugging it upwards and I helped him pull it off before I grabbed his and yanked it up a bit quicker.

Edward rolled us over until I was on my back underneath him. He smiled down at me and I couldn't help but to return the smile. His hands expertly undid my pants and pulled them down leaving me in my underwear. He grinned and tossed my jeans to the floor as his lips started traveling down my neck and between my boobs as he pulled my straps off my arms and freed my flesh so that he could massage it in his hands. I moaned for him and gasped as he licked over my navel and then dipped his tongue into it for a second. His hands gripped my panties and slid them down my legs as his tongue licked across my flesh along my hipbones. He nibbled at my skin and finally ran a finger through my folds making me gasp. I know that Saturday isn't such a long time ago but it feels like it has been years since we have been together. I have missed his touch so badly…

Edward moved a finger through my sex causing me to moan but then sat up rather quickly and looked me in the eye. "Bella, as much as I would love nothing more than to worship your body right now, I need you."

I smiled lightly and nodded, "I know Edward."

He was quickly out of his pants and underwear was lying on top of me. My hands were fisted in his hair and his were pressed tightly into the bed above my head as our lips moved together. Edward settled his weight between my legs and moved one hand between us to line himself up with me. It was then I realized something pretty important.

"Edward," I mumbled and pulled my head back.

He kissed down my jaw instead and between his kisses he asked, "Yeah?"

"We don't have any condoms."

He groaned loudly and then shook his head, "I'll take care of it."

I wanted him so badly and my mind was so filled with lust I just simply nodded and pulled his lips back to mine as he pushed himself into me making us both groan at the much needed contact. His hand moved to my hip as he gripped me tighter to him and pushed in all the way with a sigh of relief. Gripping Edward's hair tightly in my hands I moaned around his mouth and smiled gently.

He set a slow rhythm at first just barely moving us across the bed. Lips crashed, teeth crashed as we devoured each other's mouths in what felt like an animalistic need. I had never felt like I needed him so much. Wrapping my legs around his hips I sunk my feet into his back side and tried to push him harder as his mouth fell to my shoulder and his hand dug into my hip, the other one wrapping into my hair. The slow rhythm just wouldn't last as the need became more. Edward groaned loudly and picked up the speed his hips were moving at.

"I love you." I breathed out quickly and dug my nails into his shoulders.

He groaned and pulled his head up fixing our eyes together. He smiled and kissed me once before pulling back and staring down at me with his mouth slightly opened. His sweet breath was rushing all over my face and I could feel myself tighten around him which made him moan.

Those…green…eyes…

I snapped my eyes shut and felt my back arch a little and my hips rise up to meet his as my orgasm washed over me so abruptly. Edward groaned out and pumped into me a few more times before finally having to pull out as he shot his load all over my stomach.

Still breathless I looked down at him staring at my stomach with hooded eyes. He looked up to me when he saw me looking. "Do you have any idea how damn hot that is?"

I grinned and said, "Feels pretty warm to me." Then I ran my finger through the mess on my stomach and brought it to my mouth licking my finger clean.

Edward groaned and said, "We have to get condoms…now."

To my surprise he literally meant for me to get up right then and get in the car so after a cleanup we dressed and got into the car. We just went to the gas station across the road and Edward left me in the car. I watched him as he sped across the lot and into the store. He came out not even five minutes later with a small bag. Once he got into the car I looked into the bag and saw three boxes of condoms. I looked up in shock and asked, "Do you plan on using all of these soon?"
A low rumble sounded through his chest and he said, "Soon…very very soon."

We ended up using three condoms before dinner and then two that night before we went to bed. I didn't know that I could ever need someone as badly as I needed him. Apparently his need was just as bad seeing how he woke me the next morning with his mouth between my legs. Two more condoms were used before lunch. We couldn't seem to get enough of each other. We ordered room service for lunch and had a nice meal in bed as we cuddled into each other.

"When do we have to go back?" I asked as I stole one of his fries.

He picked up another fry and fed it to me before answering, "Probably tomorrow. I am supposed to wait on Jenks to call but I am afraid that if we stay here in this room much longer we might wear each other out."

I laughed once and kissed him swiftly on the lips. "The hotel has a pool downstairs…I saw it when we came in last night after dinner."

He nodded and ate a few bites of his burger. "Would you like to go swimming?"

I shrugged and sipped on my coke. "Maybe, I don't have a suit though."

"We can go to the store and get you one if you'd like. I mean we are in Phoenix in the summer…surely we can find a swimsuit somewhere for you."

I gasped and said, "Phoenix."

Edward laughed and nodded. "Arizona."

I don't know why I hadn't even thought about it before now. I guess I was just so overcome by everything going on. It completely slipped my mind and when Edward told me that this is where we were coming I didn't even think about it then.

"My mom lives in Phoenix." I said and then wished I wouldn't have.

"Oh…" Edward replied and looked around the room for a minute at anything but me.

"She probably isn't home though…she travels a lot." I didn't want him to feel obligated though I knew she was home this week. We spoke the week before last and she said she wasn't taking any trips any time soon.

"Would you like to see her?" Edward asked and finally looked to me.

I didn't want him to feel pressured into meeting my mother. I mean that is kind of a big step, right? Introducing him to my parents was a big deal. Especially, after the hell we have just been through. I can always see my mother at another time. It isn't like I won't be coming down to see her soon anyway. I have always spent the fourth of July with Renee. No big deal…

"If you want to see her it's not a problem, Bella." Edward commented and kissed me on the head. I hadn't realized that I had said that last part out loud.

I shrugged and was about to speak but just sighed instead and decided to pick at an imaginary string on my shirt. Edward gripped my hand in his and kissed each of my knuckles.

"What is it, love?"

I chewed on my lip for a second before finally looking up and meeting his eyes. "I don't want you to feel pressured into meeting my mom just because we are just a few miles down the road."
Edward smiled and asked, "Would you like me to meet your mom?"

There was a hesitation in his smile and something was off in his eyes. What was that? Why did he do that? I swallowed and shrugged.

"Do you want to meet her?" I asked in return.

He sighed and stared at me for a long minute and there was some kind of internal conflict. I could see it in his eyes. He wasn't ready to meet my parents. Maybe one day he would be willing to meet them but today is not that day. Besides, if he meets my parents I want him to meet my father first because he is the one that raised me. Yes, Renee was there for quite some time but I've spent my whole life with Charlie.

"Bella, I don't know if…" He started but I just put a hand over his mouth and shook my head.

"No pressure." I said and smiled at him. "Maybe one day, not today. This is our day."
Edward smiled around my hand and then pulled it down so that he could lean in to kiss me.

"Yes," He mumbled against my mouth. "Our day."

So do you think that Edward should have met Renee? Or was it too soon?

I hope that you liked this chapter, sorry again that it took so long to get it posted.

Leave me a review and let me know what you thought about Kim :( I have to give all the props to Virgoleen for that little diddy...it was all her idea and what a good idea it was. I know it sucked to kill another person off but seriously guys...Edward was right, she never would have been the same if she would have had to live with all the memories of what she had went through. Not to mention the constant fear of anyone in the pack getting out adn finding her...bad bad bad.

But leave me a review and I hope the get the next chap up within a week :)
