Chapter Ten

Sunday passed in a blur of Hermione taking care of Teddy and doing her homework. Monday came and took a little longer than normal to get to school because the ground was icy from the rain freezing overnight. When Hermione got to the school she heard Jessica and Lauren whispering. Edward was back.

Morning classes passed quickly, and soon it was lunch time. Hermione glanced around trying to catch a glance of the copper headed vampire but only his brothers and sisters where in the cafeteria. Alice and Rose smiled and waved lightly and Hermione couldn't help but smile and wave back.

"When did you get so close to them?" Lauren said with a sneer and she looked between the Cullen's table and Hermione.

"Alice and Rosalie saw me and Teddy playing in the park on Saturday. They stopped and we talked for a bit while Teddy played with Rosalie. He really likes her and I'm pretty sure he wants to see her again."

Lauren rolled her eyes, "You've got to be kidding me. How can children like that girl, I can't even stand her. I can't really stand any of them, they are too weird."

Hermione narrowed her eyes and stood up, "You know what! How can you make assumptions about people you don't even talk too? Just because she doesn't want to talk to a discourteous person like you does not mean you can talk like that. My son loves her and if she ever wants to see him again I would gladly let her watch him. Now I would appreciate if you keep your opinion of the Cullens to yourself around me. " Hermione then grabbed her bag and walked away, leaving behind an angry and dazed Lauren and a quiet cafeteria.

Hermione walked into her biology classroom and looked at her desk to see Edward sitting there, writing in a notebook. Hermione quickly hid her smile and sat beside him. It was a few moments later when she heard him unnecessarily clear his throat.

"Hello, I'm sorry I we didn't get to speak last week, there was a lot on my mind. My name is Edward Cullen, my sisters have told me quite a bit about you." He seemed to smile a bit when he said his sisters 'told' him about Hermione.

"Yes the three of us spent some time together at the park on Saturday. Teddy absolutely adores Rosalie. I wouldn't be too shocked if his next word was her name." Edward chuckled at that.

"So Teddy is your?"

"Teddy is my son, adopted son, but I don't love him any less."

"Why do you have him and not someone else?"

"His grandmother went catatonic and her health deteriorated after the death of her daughter and son-in-law. I was named godmother and I didn't want him going to someone he didn't really know. So I took him in and haven't regretted it since. He is a very smart boy."

Edward nodded as if he was listening to something, "That's what my mother said, that he was already a few words. That's remarkable for someone his age."

Hermione was about to respond when Dr. Banner came in and began a lecture on the phases of mitosis, we would be doing a lab on it soon. Throughout the whole hour Hermione managed to keep looking straight forward and not at the vampire she had been thinking about almost non-stop for a week.

Once the bell rang Hermione was the first one out of her seat, but she could feel his presence behind her.

""So where have you been the last week?" I asked, knowing it was him that was following me.

"Family business in Alaska," He said shortly.

I turned to him once we got to my locker and looked into his eyes. They really aren't very cautious, Hermione thought as she looked into his topaz eyes. Last week they were black.

"Did you get contacts?" She couldn't help but ask, once they were made aware of what she was maybe she could help them with fitting in a little bit more.

"Uh, no it's just the lighting that makes them look different." Hermione almost laughed at him as he quickly turned and walked down the hall. Yes, they definitely needed some help.

Gym ended quickly and soon Hermione was standing in front of her truck. She had almost slipped a few times getting there but had righted herself. After putting her bag in the cab Hermione hesitated a moment and looked over at Edward whose eyes were now round and frightened. Hermione became confused until her ears registered the squealing of tires. She looked to see a large blue van nearing her, it was too fast for her to move out of the way and she couldn't use magic in front of so many muggles.

Hermione couldn't help but mentally scoff, after all she had been through she was going to be killed by a muggle contraption. But just as it would have impacted with her body, cold arms wrapped around her waist and her head impacted with the side of her truck as she was moved out of the way. It was all over in ten second but the ten second had left Hermione's head feeling like it was going to split open and confusion devouring her mind.

Then the yelling started.

Hermione could hear people yelling out her name, but her eyes were focused on the dark ones hovering over her own.

"Edward?" Hermione asked, slightly breathless. "Wh-what?" Hermione couldn't seem to form a coherent sentence. Why had he rescued her? He could have exposed himself. It didn't make since.

While her mind was trying to figure out why he had saved her, an ambulance had been called and they were now putting her into a neck brace and onto a gurney. Hermione began to notice her surroundings once they were in the hospital and she inwardly cursed, she should not have zoned out so much.

Twenty minutes after being in a room and after getting an X-ray, Charlie burst into the room with a crying Teddy. Hermione jumped up and grabbed Teddy and began to rock and shush him.

"He began crying the same time as the accident, I got a call from Mrs. Grace the same time as we got the call into the station."

Hermione ran her fingers through his hair and smiled, "He must have known something had happened, it is not unusual for cubs to have a sense of their caregivers. How is the driver of the van?"

"Hello Chief Swan," Charlie and Hermione looked to the door to see a handsome doctor walk into the room, and the last vampire in Forks. He was very handsome and about six foot two with short blonde hair, and his golden eyes seemed to hold compassion unlike most vampires.

"Ah, Dr. Cullen this is my daughter Bella and my grandson Teddy."

Hermione couldn't help but feel warmth spread through her as he called Teddy his grandson. Teddy already had a lot of extended family with the Weasley's but one could always have more.

"It's nice to meet you, though I wish for better circumstances. I looked at your x-rays and you seem to be fine, just a small bump on the head. I suggest you still be careful though. And will be no need to worry about Mr. Crowley, his head is cut up a bit but otherwise is fine."

Hermione smiled politely, "Thank you for letting me know Dr. Cullen and I'll be fine." I've been through worse, Hermione added mentally.

After some paperwork Hermione was free to go, she was almost out the door when she saw Edward, Rosalie, and Alice speaking to each other.

"Charlie go ahead and start the cruiser, I'll be out in a moment." Without really waiting for a response, Hermione turned and walked towards the three vampires.

They instantly stopped talking when they smelt her come near them, "Edward I just wanted to say thank you. I don't know how you did it," Lie, she just didn't know why he did it but she would find that out later. "But you saved my life, so thank you." Hermione turned and walked away, leaving three dumbstruck vampires behind her.
