"I believe in you," Mom whispered, pulling me into a hug. "I'll be fine." I said, pulling away. Dad watched me with sad eyes. "Good luck," He said.
"Thanks," The police officer opened the door and I went inside. The room was gray, there was a desk, two chairs, one occupied by Deputy Horner, and a single lamp. "Sit down, son." He said, motioning to the empty chair.
I sat down. "Do you prefer Lucas or Luke?" He asked kindly. "Luke," I let the boredom be heard in my voice.
"Let's get down to business," Deputy said. "We believe we have all the right people who kidnapped you. Are these them?" He laid out four pictures. "Can you identify them?"
"Jacob Black, Tanya Denali, Quil Ateara," I pointed at each picture. "I don't know who that is," I pointed to the picture of Embry. I was lying, hoping he wouldn't see through it.
"The others all said he was in on the crime," His forehead was wrinkled in confusion. "Luke, bad things happen when you lie to the police." He warned, looking at me.
"Honest, their lying!" I cried desperately. "They mentioned him once and I saw a picture of him. I'm telling the truth!"
"I'll have boys check in on him," Deputy muttered, more to himself then me. "They hurt you, didn't they?"
"They burnt my hand, broke my arm, and cut my leg." I could practically see the venom coming out of my mouth. "Of course they hurt me!"
He looked shocked, but quickly smoothed his facial expression. "Who did what?" He asked gently.
"Jacob cut my leg; Quil did the things to my arm." I said. "Can I go now?"
He wrote something down on his notepad. "No," The deputy said. "I have a few more questions. Did they ever say why they took you?"
"To get even with my Mom and Dad," I answered honestly.
"Tanya was mad at my Mom for stealing Dad, while Jacob was jealous for vice versa." I said tapping on the table. "I think I've answered all your questions right?"
"You are free to go," He said, looking over his notepad. I stood up and waited for him to open it. I made a noise with my throat. "Sorry, here let me get it for you," Deputy said, standing up. He opened the door and let me out. Finally.
Little did I know that that was not the last time I was going to be involved in the police.
EPOV
I watched Luke through the one way window of the interrogation room. I was shocked how he was acting. "He's being a jackass Edward," Bella murmured. "We'll have to talk to him," I whispered back.
He came out of the questioning room. "Luke, there was no reason to act that way." Bella said sternly. "Go apologize. Now." Luke rolled his eyes. "Why? I didn't do anything wrong." He never talked back.. Ever.
"Do as your mother says Luke," I commanded.
"Whatever," He walked over to the police officer.
"Sorry Deputy Horner," Luke said, not sorry at all. "Luke," Bella warned.
"Sorry!" Luke screamed. It made everyone jump. "Come on, now." Bella said, pulling him outside to the car. "I don't know whats gotten into him. Sorry officer." I apologized.
"No problem. He's just been through serious change and it will affect him." Deputy said wisely.
I walked outside into the small parking lot were Bella was talking to Luke. "Don't be rude!" Bella was saying. "Whatever," Luke muttered, getting into the back of the car.
"It's okay," I ran my fingers gently over her cheek.
"I don't now," Bella said uncertainly, holding my hand. I pressed my lips against hers gently. "It will be," I whispered against her lips.
"Are you gonna make-out or drive?" Luke yelled impatiently. Bella jumped back and blushed. "Luke," I warned. "Yes?" He said, innocently.
I got in the drivers seat and started the drive home.

"Name it Jenna," Luke said suddenly. Alice looked thoughtful for a moment. "I can see it now. A little girl with replica of Bella. In a gorgeous dress,"
"Your not playing Barbie on my baby," Bella laughed. "You've got Rose and Em's baby for that. Alice, you have Leah!"
"You are not giving my baby up!" Rose shrieked, clutching Kristi to her chest.
"Fine," Alice pouted. "Jazzy, you'll let me play Barbie with Leah right?" Jasper chuckled and said, "Sure,"
"Alice, no matter what you do, Rose is always gonna look better." Emmett said, pulling his wife in for a kiss.
"Well, I think Jenna is a great name Luke," Edward said, ruffling Luke's hair. "Me too," I agreed.
"The baby's name is now Jenna!" Seth declared, standing up from his spot on the floor.
"Miss Jenna Michelle Cullen," I said trying it out.
"Cullen?" Edward asked.
"You don't think after all that's happened…" I trailed off, blushing.
Edward stood up off the couch pulled me up. "Come with me," He pleaded. I nodded, having an idea of what was going to happen.
Edward put my coat on and took me out to his Volvo. As we started driving, I noticed he didn't have his seatbelt on.
"You should put your seatbelt on." I let disproval color my tone.
"You should put your seatbelt on." He snorted. I put it on.
I recognized the familiar streets and buildings as we got closer to our meadow.
Edward stopped the car in the parking lot. "Maybe we should go for a swim?" He said, smiling crookedly. If I was standing, I would have fallen and melted in ice cream on a hot sidewalk.
"Sure," I breathed struggling for words. He grabbed some stuff from the trunk. We walked behind the bushes, Edward smiling the whole time.
He pulled off his shirt, the sunlight shining on his chest. "Your turn," He chuckled.
He slid my shirt off, revealing my tank top underneath. He pulled me into the river gently.
"I love you," Edward murmured, pulling me to his naked chest.
"I love you," I smiled reaching up to kiss him. We were silent for a few minutes. I broke away, gasping for air.
"Love you," Edward said. His lips trailed from the corner of my mouth to my ear.
He pressed his forehead against mine. "The drunken idiot falls for the missing girl," Edward whispered.
"Stupid drunkey," Edward said.
"Stupid girl," I whispered.
"Your cold, love." Edward said. "Let's get back to shore." Wordlessly, we walked back to shore.
I laid down on the grass, the sun beating down on me. Edward lay down next to me. "Can I ask you something?" Edward said after a few minutes.
"Anything," I said.
"It would be better if you opened yours eyes," Edward chuckled, propping himself up on one elbow. He held my gaze as he spoke.
"Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?" Edward asked.
"I-I," I was speechless. "I'm sorry," Edward said quickly, standing up.
"Yes!" I screamed, flinging myself at him. "I do."
"You'll need this then," Edward chuckled, slipping it on my finger. It was a silver band, studded with diamonds.
"I love you Bella," Edward said.
"Love you to Edward," I felt a tear fall down my cheek.
"Don't cry," Edward said, kissing it away.
