Chapter Fourteen

On Monday, Hermione found herself both excited and nervous, that is until she saw the sun shining through her window. She knew that the Cullens wouldn't be coming to school that day, which made her feel slightly depressed; she wanted to talk to Edward. Though now that she had all Sunday to think about it, she wasn't entirely sure if she wanted to tell the Cullens she knew what they were because they were vegetarian vampires or because of a certain copper-headed member. She seemed to be thinking about him more often than not lately, which confused her.

The Day passed in a blur of classes and Hermione decided that she and Teddy would get out of Forks for a few hours tonight. She picked him up from Harper's house and buckled him into his seat; they would be going to Port Angeles to shop around a bit before coming back to Forks.

Once in Port Angeles, they walked into a few book stores and a kid's store, the whole time Hermione felt as if she was being watched. She had learned to trust her instincts, so she became alert and kept looking around her, searching for what could be looking at her. When she couldn't see anything, she turned and continued her shopping. They walked around for hours, getting further away from her truck as the sky got darker. She began to walk down an alley as a shortcut, Teddy clinging tightly to her chest in his chest carrier, when he started to whimper. She tensed and looked behind her, there were two guys stumbling her way.

She held onto Teddy, turned back around and began walking as fast as she could away from the drunken muggles. "Hey! Wait up!" One yelled after her.

The alley seemed to get darker the further she walked, when it finally opened up it was to an empty parking lot, which had two more men in it. "Hey boys, look what we found!" one of the men behind Hermione yelled out.

"We saw you shopping earlier, cute little boy you got there." one said while staggering closer. So that's why I felt like I was being watched, Hermione thought, but she wasn't fully convinced it was just them.

Hermione pulled her bags tighter against her side and covered Teddy's head with his blanket so that he wouldn't see anything. She tried to walk faster but it was no use, they had caught up to her.

Her heart began to pound and Teddy began to whimper louder. "Hey there beautiful, we thought that we would never catch up." One with dark hair and glazed eyes said.

Another with lighter brown hair walked towards her and brushed some hair from her face, "You are a very beautiful girl." His breathe smelt like alcohol and Hermione felt a shiver of revulsion go down her spine.

The other three stepped closer and Hermione began to debate whether or not to get out her wand, they were muggles yes but Teddy's life could be in danger. She was about to reach out and pull her wand when one of the other men grabbed her arms and pulled them behind her back.

Teddy started to cry and Hermione began to struggle, "Let me go!" She yelled.

They all started to laugh and the dark haired one stepped closer and ran finger down her cheek, "No why don't you —"

But he was cut off by the sound of squealing tires and a familiar Volvo turned the corner and stopped right in front of the group.

Edward jumped out of the driver's side and stepped towards the men. "Let her go," he growled and Hermione could see his eyes turning black.

The men immediately let go and took a few steps back and Hermione ran to Edward.

"Get in the car." He growled.

Hermione could only nod, she was shaken up. She hadn't truly felt that helpless in a long time. She took a shaky breath and pulled the blanket off of Teddy's head. He had tears in his eyes and he was looking up at her.

"It's okay Teddy, Edward helped us." She smiled at him as best as she could and then looked out the windshield. Edward seemed to have trouble for a moment before he quickly turned and jumped into the car. Not a second later, he spun the car around and they were on the main road.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded but then realized that he wasn't looking at her. "I'm okay, slightly shaken but fine. I'm more worried about Teddy. Are you okay? You're gripping you're steering wheel pretty tightly."

"I'm fine. Did they hurt you?"

"No I wasn't hurt Edward, they only touched my face."

That seemed to be the wrong thing to say because he growled again, which made Teddy growl back. Edward smiled and looked at him. Then Hermione realized that they hadn't actually met. So to hopefully calm everyone down she said, "Edward, this is my son Teddy."

"Hello Teddy, he is very cute Bella."

Hermione smiled and kissed Teddy's forehead, "Yes he is. Are you calm now?"

Edward rolled his eyes and smiled, "You were just attacked by four drunkards and yet you made sure Teddy and I were both calm before worrying about yourself."

Hermione blushed, "Well I know I'm not physically injured, and I'm sure once the adrenaline stops and I'm home then I may possibly break down for a moment, but for now, yes I'm more worried about the two of you."

Edward looked at her, "Are you hungry? There is a nice Italian place down the road and after what just happened I believe that you should get something in your stomach."

"That sounds fine, and then we can talk about how you knew where to find me."

He tensed and then the car fell into silence besides the occasional sound from Teddy. When he pulled into the restraint parking lot, he quickly got out and walked to the passenger's side and opened Hermione's door for her.

"Thank you." She said, Edward smiled and they walked into La Bella Italia. They were seated in an area together, not that the place was very busy anyways. Hermione knew that this would be her chance. She sat Teddy in a highchair, turned to Edward and said, "Look I just can't hide this anymore and I need to know the truth. Are you human?"
