Chapter 6

BELLA'S POV

I turned the page, and scrolled for more information. There had to be something in their on Lucas or Amber. I needed to know if they had family, or anyone who would want to avenge their deaths. We didn't need some creep popping up.

I was lying on my stomach on a picnic table, my feet crossed in the air. The park was empty, and it was pretty tempting to go and swing.

"My love, what are you doing?" Edward asked, now standing in front of me, his eyes confused.

"I was reading up on Lucas and Amber, until you interrupted me." I sat up, and handed him the pages of information.

"Bella," he dropped them on the ground, "please don't worry your head with unimportant things – then I have to listen to them."

I rolled my eyes. "Someone has to."

"Come on." Edward motioned for me to follow him. "I know you want to swing."

"What, are you going to push me?" I asked, sitting down.

"I'll be gentle." He murmured against my ear.

He pulled the swing back, and gently pushed forward. I looked up at the gray sky – it was going to rain. But it didn't matter.

Bella would you be very upset if I told you we were leaving for Alaska soon?

No.

Good, because we're leaving tomorrow.

"What!" My eyes widened.

I already packed for you.

"Edward thanks for giving me some notice!"

He pushed a little harder. "I just did."

I rolled my eyes. "You know what I mean."

A raindrop fell on my cheek.

It's raining.

He stopped the swing, and I laid the back of my head against his shoulder.

"I know." He touched my face.

"Edward?"

"What?" He bent down to my cheek.

"You're it!" I tagged him, and ran off.

I heard him laughing, as he ran after me.

I jumped up onto the jungle gym, and ran to the swinging bridge. Edward was on the other side, shaking the bridge with his arms.

I turned, and bolted up the stairs. Then I slid face first down the slide, and Edward met me at the bottom. He grabbed me by the shoulders, and threw me into the sand. By this time, it was raining harder.

He jumped on top of me, and pressed his lips to mine. My hand moved up, underneath his hoodie. He did the same, his hand against my stomach.

As we kissed, a paper floated over my head. I recognized the papers I had printed out on Lucas and Amber. Grabbing it, I crumpled it up.

EDWARD'S POV

"Alright, alright." I agreed, waving my hand.

"Yes!" Bella threw her arms around me, and made a farting noise against my neck.

"Thanks for that." I wiped her spit away.

"I'm just so excited! I get to pay for something!"

"You're excited?" I shook my head.

"Are we almost there?" Bella looked eagerly ahead, her arms still around me.

"Yes my impatient one, we're almost there."

Bella put her Linkin Park CD into the stereo, and turned it to her favorite track. She threw her head around, flailing her arms about.

"I didn't know I was paying for a concert." I laughed.

Bella ignored me. "I can't hold on! To what I want when I'm stretched so thin! It's all too much to take in!"

By the time the CD was finished, we had arrived at the cabin.

"Wow." Bella jumped out of the car, and ran up the hill to where the cabin was.

I got the bags, and watched her run up the hill, and past the cabin. Suddenly she fell forward down the other side of the hill.

"Bella!" I dropped the bags and ran after her. She was rolling down the hill, and landed at the bottom.

When I reached her, she was laughing hysterically.

"You have got to try that." She smiled.

I helped her up, and returned for the bags.

It was a one room cabin with a kitchen and a bathroom. It looked really cozy.

"What do you want to do first? We could sled or ski or-"

Bella's lips stopped mine from moving.

"Let's do this."

I picked her up, and laid her on the bed.

When we came out from underneath the covers, it was dark out.

"Bella."

I had my arms around her, and she was laying her head on my shoulder.

"What?"

My hand moved onto her bare stomach.

"I wish we could have a baby."

Her hand found mine, and rested on top.

"We have each other."

I rested my chin on the top of her head, and looked out the window. Snow was falling outside, adding a little light to the darkness.

A shadow passed by the window, and I jumped up.

"What is it?" Bella pulled the sheets around her.

"Nothing…I just forgot something in the car."

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I pulled on some pants and went outside. I walked around the cabin, searching for whomever the shadow belonged to.

When I didn't find anyone, I went back inside.

"What did you forget?" Bella asked, sitting up.

"I must have brought it in, and left it somewhere."

Something or someone was there. I knew it.
