"You love me?" I couldn't help but laugh even though it was without humor. I started laughing so hard, I had to grab my sides since I was shaking. Bella saying she loved me had seemed absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. "That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard! You don't know how to love, Isabella. Where was this supposed love when you chose Jacob over me? Where was this love when I actually needed and wanted it?"

Nobody from my family bothered interrupting. I think they all realized I needed to do this. Bella has had this coming for a long time. "I gave you everything you wanted, Bella. Even though it had been against my better judgment, I agreed to turn you, if you would marry me. I didn't think that to be so much to ask for in return. After all, you wanted to be with me forever right? Yet, you were so against marriage, and I never understood why. Not until after you left me shattered, that is."

My ex looked up at me with her bottom lip trembling. Her arms wrapped tightly around her middle. "I was scared Edward! You know what happened to my parents and –"

A shake of my head followed by a growl cut her off. "So you took your insecurities about your parents out on me? I would believe that, if it weren't for the fact you wanted to be a vampire. I am pretty sure that becoming one of us was a lot more commitment than marriage, which you stated to be just a piece of paper."

"You still me love Edward!" Bella cried jumping to her feet. Her finger thrust into my face accusingly. "You don't just stop loving someone. You told me I was the only girl you would ever care about in such a way. What happened to that?"

"I found who I was meant to be with." I replied, turning to smile at Leah and beckoning her to come stand next to me. Once I had her pressed against my side, I continued on with what I had been saying to Isabella. "With Leah, I never have to worry about trying to kill her. We have a bond based on common interests instead of my blood lust. I am in love with Leah Clearwater in ways I never could have loved you."

Bella shook her head, refusing to believe my love for someone other than herself. "You pity her."

"I don't pity her." I told my ex this as I kissed Leah softly on the lips. "Why would I ever pity her? She is the strongest person I know. She has overcome so many obstacles in her life. Leah is by far the most important person in my life. She stays strong no matter what happens. She doesn't see me as perfect, the way you did. She isn't afraid to name my faults or argue a point with me. She's the perfect woman and she is carrying my children. If I pity anyone in this room, it would be you."

"Damn Cullen," My she-wolf wrapped her arms around my waist. "If you keep talking like that, I am going to have to cut this family meeting short and drag you upstairs to our bedroom. You have no idea how absolutely sexy I find you in this moment."

"Eww, Leah!" Jacob Black cried and slammed his hands over his ears. "Keep your sex life with the leech private, would you?"

My wolf girl snorted at her friend. "You sure you don't want details Jake? I bet I could be very descriptive if I wanted to be."

Emmett raised his hand in the air. "Can that be Bella's punishment? Making her listen to stories about Leah and Edward's bedroom activities? Can I stay to listen if it is? Maybe I can give them a few ideas to spice it up!"

"Emmett!" Rosalie growled and smacked him upside the head. "This is a serious matter. Stop with the perverted thoughts and comments for five minutes would you?"

"Come on Rose, I like his idea." My girlfriend laughed once before growing more serious. Her smile fading and her body tensing in my arms. "What are we going to do with her? She can't stay here anymore. I invoke my right as your girlfriend to kick her out on her ass. I won't let her threaten harm against my kids anymore. You guys may have a problem with killing humans, but I don't. Not if they threaten the life and happiness of my babies."

"What if we left her in Alaska? Maybe the wolves would eat her." I couldn't believe Alice had said that out loud. Then again, I could read her thoughts and seehow much Bella's behavior had upset her.

"Give her to the Volturi." Rosalie chimed in next. "Let them deal with her. She isn't our problem anymore. Maybe you could use her as a bribe for them to keep their noses out of our business."

"Send her to La Push." Jacob offered as a good plan. "I don't have the time to deal with her, but as Alpha, Sam wouldn't have a choice. If these humans are after her, then he can offer her the protection she needs."

Carlisle frowned and looked at the clumsy human with concern. "Maybe it would be best for you in La Push, Bella. I will make sure to speak with Sam Uley myself. If it would make you feel more comfortable, I will talk to my children about doing rounds along the border to insure your safety."

"I don't want to go to La Push, Carlisle!" The brown eyed human cried. "I want to be here with you guys."

I glared down at her. "You don't get a choice with this Bella. You cannot stay here anymore. I think you should get ahold of Emily and Sam Uley. Maybe they will offer to help you."

"I can call him now." Jacob offered and hesitated. "But he will want to come here to discuss matters. Is that going to be ok?"

His eyes landed on Leah's the same time mine did. I didn't like the idea of Sam Uley coming into our home. What if he said or did something to my love? He could phase and attack her or do something similar, and it could hurt her or our children. Maybe it would be best if I took Leah somewhere for the day. The stress of Sam's visit couldn't be any good for her in her pregnant state.

My wolf girl answered before I could. "That's fine, Jake. If he needs to discuss things, then we may as well get it over with. It's not like I have anything I need to talk about with him. This is about Isabitch. It will remain business and business only. Be sure you make that clear to him."

TBC...

AN: I hope you all liked this chapter! I wanted Edward to tell Bella exactly how he felt. I thought that she needed to hear it and maybe accept it. I doubt she has accepted it, but atleast now everyone knows Edward is true in his feelings for Leah.

I know most of you hate the idea of Sam coming in and I have to agree, but it has to happen for things to come round in later chapters. Don't worry about him hurting Leah because it won't happen. Do you really think the Cullen's or Jake would allow for that?
