AN: So here is Chapter 28 and again I'm sorry to any of my old readers who might still be reading this for the few year long delay of the continuation of this story I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 28

After Jake and Nessie were gone the rest of us headed back home Rose and Em to their place and Edward and I to ours deciding to have a lazy day together with Ollie since he had the day off.

As soon as we were inside Edward had me pushed against the door and was kissing me passionately.

"Wow what was that for?" I asked when we stopped to catch our breath.

"just because I love you and I couldn't resist those lips of yours" Edward replied and he was about to lean in for another kiss before he was interrupted by a little bark and we both looked down to see Oliver looking up at us proudly because on the floor in front of him was one of my white heels from the pair that Alice bought me on our first shopping trip and it was chewed up.

"Oh no" I sighed

"Alice Isn't going to be happy about this" I said out lout but I couldn't help but think thank God I won't have to wear those shoes again

"Alice will get over it I promise" Edward said with his crooked grin I love so much as he went to pick up the shoe and gently reprimanded Ollie who just wagged his little tail and licked Edward's hand.

I couldn't help but laugh at that it was the cutest thing to see though I knew we would have to get Ollie out of the habit of chewing up whatever he could find.

"How about we take this little guy for a walk?" Edward asked as he was already reaching for the leash that was on the hook by the door.

"That sounds good we can walk off our breakfast" I said as Edward got the leash on Ollie who was still struggling a little with being on the leash but he had definitely improved a lot from when we first got him.

A little bit later we were walking through the park that was a couple blocks from the penthouse. It had become our favorite spot to take Oliver as it wasn't too crowded and the people there were friendly and kids who were playing on the playground always loved to come up and say hi to Ollie who soaked up all the attention he could get.

After being at the park for almost an hour we decided to head home and watch a movie.

We ran into Emmett in the hallway as we got off the elevator on our floor he was heading down to take their trash out but of course as soon as he saw Oliver he dropped the garbage bag and ran up to pick him up as if he had never seen him before even though it had been less than 24 hours which made me roll my eyes but also smile at his goofy antics.

"What's going on out here?" Rose who had stuck her head out of their door asked but then just shook her head knowingly as she watched her boyfriend with my dog.

"Guess you already know the answer to that Rose" Edward said with a laugh.

"Ok Emmett time to give the puppy back and get that trash to the dumpster" Rose said or more like commanded and Emmett obeyed but was grumbling as he gave me back Oliver then finally went to finish what he was supposed to do.

"I love my brother but he can be such a little kid sometimes, it makes me wonder how I'm not the older one." I said when Emmett was out of ear shot.

"Yeah he's a goofball but I love him." Rose said with this dreamy look in her eyes

"Edward and I were just going to settle in and watch a movie if you and Em would like to join us" I offered

"That sounds great and I'm sure Emmett wants more time with Oliver anyway." Rose said with a laugh.

"Well now that we know what we are doing lets get inside shall we?" Edward asked just as Emmett got back from taking the trash out and within a few seconds Oliver went from my arms to his again while the rest of us just shook our heads at him.

"What? I love this little guy." Emmett said as the puppy licked his face.

About an hour into the movie my phone rang and I saw it was Jake calling so I had Edward pause the movie before I hit the talk button and put it on speaker.

"Hey Jake how was the trip home?" I asked

"The trip was alright I'm glad to be out of the truck though that's for sure. Anyway I was calling to let you all know we made it home and I'm with Rachel and Paul right now. I was telling them about your house in Forks and they would really love to rent it."

"Oh Jake that's awesome, I'm so glad they want to rent it from us" I said with some excitement.

"When do they want to move in?" Emmett asked leaning forward in his seat to be closer to the phone.

"I'll let Rachel answer that, here she is." Jake said as we heard the phone being passed over to her.

"Hi Bell and Emmett it's so good to hear from you guys again."

"Same here Rachel." Emmett and I both said at the same time.

"Paul and I are so grateful to you both for renting us your parents house it really means a lot to us."

"It's really no problem we are just glad its someone we know and can trust. So when are you guys wanting to move in we've already gone through and taken what we wanted and donated a bunch of stuff as well.

"Well we were hoping to move in at the end of the month when we will have the first months rent and down payment." Rachel said with enthusiasm.

"That would be fine and don't worry about a down payment your practically family and Em and I will discuss what your rent will be every month." I said as I was looking at Emmett to see if he agreed with this and him knowing why I was looking at him nodded his head in agreement.

"Oh that's so sweet of you guys but are you sure about not giving us a down payment?"

"Positive Rachel we wouldn't think of it." Emmett replied

"Thank you so much and we'll see you at the end of the month." Rachel said before she handed Jake back his phone.

"Well guess I should go to I've still got a little homework to finish tonight talk to you guys later."

We all said goodbye to him before he hung up.

"Well little sis what do you think we should charge them for rent?"

"I'm not really sure I know I don't want to make them pay a lot though, I mean the house is paid off and really they are doing us a favor by living there and taking care of it for us." I replied and Emmett nodded in agreement before speaking.

"I totally agree with you on that. So how about we ask them to pay us say 200.00 a month. That way they will still have money for bills and other things."

"I think that's fair." I said as I snuggled back into Edward again so that we could continue watching the movie since all of that was figured out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was finally the end of April and we were all heading back to Forks again with Alice and Jasper in tow this time to help Rachel and Paul move into the house.

We arrived in Forks around two in the afternoon and went straight to the house where we met up with Jake, Nessie, Rachel, Paul and Billy. After introductions were made being that this was the first time seeing Rachel and Paul, we got to work unloading Jake's and Paul's trucks that had Rachel's and Paul's belongings.

Within a few hours with everyone's help we had them unpacked and officially moved in.

"We should go out to dinner to celebrate a job well done." Alice suggested getting positive reactions from everyone especially Emmett who was whooping and hollering in agreement while rubbing his stomach that is until Rose smacked him on the back of the head making him stop finally and making everyone else laugh at their antics.

"Rosie who knows how many more times I'll get to go out to eat before I leave for Basic Training next month so I'm allowed to be excited about this." Emmett said with a mock pout.

As soon as Emmett spoke about that my mood instantly dropped a little I still wasn't completely okay with him going off to join the Army but I respected his decision.

"So where should we go to eat?" Jasper asked somehow sensing my mood and changing the subject so I sent him a grateful smile and he winked at me in return.

"How about the Diner I really miss the steak from there." Emmett said so we all agreed mostly because we were starving and it was the closest place to eat unless we wanted to go to Port Angeles.

After dinner we said goodbye to Jake, Nessie and Billy in the parking lot of the diner since they were heading home because Billy was exhausted and Nessie had a Spanish test to study for and we wouldn't see them again this trip as we were leaving early in the morning to get back to Seattle.

When the rest of us got back to the house sleeping arrangements were made which were Emmett and Rose in his old room, Edward and I were in my old room and Alice and Jasper were going to sleep in the living room which I argued with them over a little since I felt bad we would have a bed and they wouldn't but they kept insisting until I finally agreed.

When that was decided we stayed up a little longer talking with Paul and Rachel before we finally called it a night and went to bed since we all had an early morning.

The next morning we got up at six and got ready to go before we were on the road by seven only stopping once on the way back to Seattle to get gas and pick up some breakfast to take on the road.

Once we were back in town we dropped off Alice and jasper at their place then we dropped by Angela's to pick up Oliver who was really excited to see us like he hadn't seen us in forever when it had only been a day but Angela said he had a great time with her dog Oreo. Of course Emmett being Emmett took Ollie from me as soon as I was back in the car which was actually okay with me since it made it easier for Edward to keep his hand on my leg while he drove with the other.

During the drive home I couldn't help but look at Edward and when he caught me staring he gave me my favorite crooked grin and squeezed my leg a little and I started to think back on the past few months when my life changed for the better once Edward walked into it.

I was brought back from my memories when we pulled into the parking garage of our penthouse and parked in our spot.

Once we were on our floor Emmett finally handed Ollie back to me before him and Rose headed into their place after saying that they would see us later and we walked into our own place where I put Ollie down and kicked off my shoes before collapsing on the couch making Edward laugh before he came over and kissed the top of my head then my nose before he finally reached my lips giving me a long slow kiss making both of us groan lowly.

All of a sudden Edward picked me up bridal style and carried into our bedroom where he placed me gently on the bed before leaning over me and kissing me again as he slowly leaned his lower body into me and soon started to grind against me making me gasp then moan kind of loud Edward had never really took things this far before always making us stop when our kisses got too heated and of course it was at this moment I had to open my mouth.

"Did you change your mind about waiting?" I asked with a shocked sound to my voice and all of a sudden it was like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on Edward as he froze instantly and looked at me for a minute before he quickly got off of me and instead laid beside me.

"I'm sorry Bella I got too carried away we can't do this yet your still only sixteen." Edward said making me look away from him before he turned my face to his again to look him in the eyes.

"I do love you Bella and don't think I don't want to I mean you know I want you to but its still not right love."

"How can it not be right Edward? We love each other my age shouldn't matter especially since we already have everyone's blessing to be together." I said right as my eyes started to water causing Edward to grab me and snuggle me into his side.

"I know this is hard for you and it is for me as well, can we meet half way it will make me feel better if you're at least seventeen rather than eighteen."

I thought about that for a minute this was probably the best I was going to get so I agreed to wait until I was seventeen which I would be in September so only five months away though that did still seem like such a long time.

"Okay Edward I don't like it but I'm will to wait until then but I'm holding you to it. You can only make a girl wait so long." I complained but I snuggled back in his arms and let him just hold me for a while.

"Good I want you to hold it to me and the next few months are going to fly by you'll see." Edward said before he kissed the back of my head.

After a few minutes of silence I heard Edward start to hum some melody I didn't know but soon I felt my eyes start to droop and before I knew it I was asleep.
