Wanted to mention all the wonderful characters in this story I am writing belong to and were created by Stephenie Meyer. She made them what they are today, and I am just playing around with them and making them do the things you can not find in a book written for teenagers. So, where the characters themselves belong to SM, this story line, and idea belong to me…

Chapter 37: About That Box
EPOV
.
I walked into our room and Bella, sitting up against the headboard looking at the lists of baby names we made the night before.
"Good morning my love, did you sleep well?" I asked.
Yawning and stretching Bella smiled. "I did sleep well, did you make me breakfast in bed?"
"I did, we are having scrambled eggs with cheese, toast, juice, and tea," I answered.
I set the tray over her lap and crawled into bed next to her. I was nervous to bring this up, but the sooner the better. I regretted my decision to keep what I did with the box from her. I had spoken to Charlie who told me to tell her everything. I still didn't know how I was going to reassure her of her safety.
"Bella, do you remember the box that came for you a week ago?" I asked.
"Oh, shoot. Yeah, I forgot all about it. Go get it sweetie and we can open it," she said.
"Bella, I noticed the box the other night and I got an uneasy feeling about it. I called Emmett and Jake, they agreed with me. We actually had the bomb squad come and they took the box to check it to be sure it was not some sort of explosive."
"Edward, was it a bomb?" Bella asked, clearly frightened.
"No it was not a bomb, my love. It was from Alec." I figured just blurting it out would be best.
"The box was from Alec? What was in the box, Edward?" Bella asked in a demanding tone.
"I do not know for sure what was in the box. Emmett will be here soon with Garrett, they will have photos of the contents with them," I sighed and hugged her to my side.
"Do you know what it was about?" Bella asked now her voice sounding scared.
"I do not know much, only that he knows we are having a baby." As I said that she let out a gasp.
Bella got up fast and ran for the bathroom, I followed to help her. I knew she was getting sick; the stress was getting to her.
"Baby, you have to stay calm, I will protect you. Sam, Jake and everyone else will protect you. He will not get to you again. I love you baby, so much," as I tried to sooth her as I held her hair back from her face.
After Bella stopped vomiting, brushed her teeth, and got dressed, she asked me to call Emmett and Garrett to get them here now. She asked if her Dad knew what was going on. I told her he did.
Time seemed to drag as we waited for Emmett and Garrett to arrive. Rose and Alice, the girls were going to work out with Bella this morning.
Bella filled in the girls about the box of stuff from Alec. Alice gasped and Rose tried hard to act shocked, but it was clear she knew more then she was letting on.
"Tell me what you know Rose!" Bella demanded.
"I think it is best that you wait for Emmett to get here, Bells. I only know because of pillow talk, and I do not want to say the wrong thing. I can tell you this, if he does not tell you everything, I will."
Emmett and Garrett arrived about ten minutes later, flanked by Sasha, Jake and Sam.
"Okay, I want to know what is going on right now!" Bella said.
"Bella, we brought you photos of the contents of the box," Emmett said. "I want you to know first that no matter what, you are safe here and every precaution has been and will continue to be taken in regards to your safety."
Bella nodded her head and sat down at the dining room table. I walked over and sat down beside her. I put my arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple.
"It will all be okay, Bella, we are all here for you, and we will never let anyone hurt you again," I whispered into her ear.
She nodded her head and watched the table as Emmett started setting down photos in front of us. The contents of the box made me so mad, I saw red. A blue baby afghan embroidered with the name Alec John Walker Jr., a baby book, and a note. There was a close up of the note, Emmett a photocopy. It was hand written, it the same handwriting all the other notes Alec had left before. Alec had also signed it, not leaving much room for doubt.
"Just read the damn thing out loud and then I know everyone hears it at once. No one will have to ask for it to be read again that way," Bella said to Emmett.
Emmett took a deep breath. "My lovely Isabella, I found out that you are carrying my child. I cannot wait to see him born. I had a lovely blanket made for him. I will name him after me. I bet he will look just like me. I cannot wait to see him grow. I will not hurt you while you are carrying my son, but after he is born you will be punished for breaking our vows of eternal love. I put a copy of the sonogram photo in the baby book for you, and filled in the info I could. I was able to get into the hospital's files easy enough. Make sure that you keep it up to date. I know that your birthday will be here soon. I am hoping we will be together by then. I hope you know that if you think you can get away with triggering a tracker this time it will not work, any jewelry you wear will be removed as soon as I get you this time, remember that you are mine. I will not take any chances this time. We will be so far away before they know you're gone, they will never find you. You belong to me, not him. You need to get away from him and stay away from him. I will make you pay if you do not obey. Isabella, you need to seek an annulment and you need to get out of that man's house. I want you to do as I say, by your birthday, or you will regret it. They will not stop me, and you will not be so easy to find the next time! You are MINE, and I will not let you go, ever. Take care of my son and be sure to fill out his baby book. Keep in mind that I have more connections then you know of. I will get to you and there is no use in hiding. Your guards can not stop me. Sam is a washed out old man who could not cut it anymore at a real job, he is weak. Sasha is a joke, and worthless in protecting you. You honestly do not believe that they can stop me do you? That man will not protect you. He will not be able to, I intend on killing him for touching you. Your body is mine, and it holds my son to show it. Your mind, body and soul belong to me. You are mine, it is simple. Your truest love forever, Alec."
I was angered by his words and I slammed my fist down on the table. "Who the fuck does he think he is?"
Bella grabbed me close and said, "I know Edward. I just wish he would leave me alone. I mean why me? I know what he told me at the police station, but this is just above and beyond crazy," Bella cried into my neck as she hugged herself to me tighter, I too had tears running down my cheeks.
My anger dissipated immediately, and I asked Garrett and Emmett. "Where do we go from here? What do we do?"
"Keep living your life, he clearly knows about the guards, but he does not know the other things. He will not get her. He thinks he is okay because he has a man on the inside," Garrett said.
"Are you sure that he has a man on the inside?" I asked.
"There is no solid proof of a bad cop, but there are too many signs that point to that being the case. We trust our chief, and he has contacted someone he trusts. Let's just say that there are a lot of cops in our precinct being checked out with a fine-toothed comb," Garrett told us all.
We sat around talking about more things for a while longer, and there was a knock on the door. I think we were all shocked that someone was able to get to the door, but it was just Heidi here to take Bella for her work out.
"Hi Heidi, can we just swim for a bit today? I am really tired," Bella asked her.
"Of course we can, Bella. We can go and swim a little then," Heidi answered in a cheery voice.
"Sasha, Rose, and I are joining you girls as well," Alice said.
Bella and all the girls went to change into suits. I asked Emmett to put the photos and the copy of the note from Alec away.
Bella walked out of our room in her small blue bikini she wore in Jamaica, and I bit the inside of my cheek so I would conceal my desire growl at her seductively.
Bella knew what seeing her in that suit did to my libido. I was aroused fully by the sight of her sexy curves. She grabbed her robe and asked me to help her get it on. She was being evil now, teasing me.
After I wrapped her into her robe I pulled her into my lap so she could feel how hard she made me.
"See what you do to me, my little vixen?" I whispered huskily.
"I feel it, and later I will get up close and really personal with what I am feeling," Bella said seductively in my ear after she nibbled on my earlobe.
Just as her teeth were nibbling on my neck and her fingers threaded through my hair, there was a knock on the door.
"That is the girls; I will see you soon, my sexy husband."
"I will see you down stairs. Emmett and I are working out too. I love you, my beautiful wife," I said as I kissed her.
Alec POV
I have not heard anything about the box I had sent to Isabella, she must have known to keep it private. She has made some bad choices, but she knows she belongs to me!
I figured by now, Randall would have been here yelling at me for not listening to him. Randall has helped me a lot, but he thinks he can control me. That will not work, not at all.
Isabella will be with me very soon, just a couple of weeks, on her birthday.
