Hey everyone I would like to apologize, I know you all are excited for the Cullen's POV of the chapters where Bella tells them everything, but that is not this chapter. This is the chapter before that, and it's mainly going to be about what the Cullens are doing while Bella is in La push. I can already tell you that it is going to be short.

I hope you guys like it.

Chapter 9

Edward's POV

I was more than thankful when Bella parked beside my car again. Despite whatever had happened while she had talked with Esme, Bella wasn't going to go back to ignoring us. I had been worrying all night that she would.

Every day my siblings and I would continue to walk her and the girls to class. While we all would walk together to first period, only one of us would meet her after her class.

For reasons we couldn't find, Bella, wasn't comfortable being around all of us. Though we didn't understand, we all decided that we could be patient. We would respect that request.

I would watch Bella through my siblings' thoughts as they walked with her. I found I was able to learn a lot about her, while watching her through their thoughts.

It was in ways hysterical, some of the things I had learned. Bella was quite obviously most comfortable being around Jasper, out of my four siblings; while she was terrified of Alice.

Alice would be waiting for Bella outside of the biology room and once she had taken Cissy from her, she would launch immediately into talks about shopping and fixing Bella's wardrobe.

After giving a sympathetic smile and heading off to my own class, I'd watch Anna and Alice talk about clothes and shopping while Bella was dragged along.

Bella never added anything to the conversations. Thankfully though I could see Bella just didn't approve of Alice's shopping habits. Despite that I could already see the two of them becoming best friends; like Alice had planned.

Bella was fitting in with my family as easily as a puzzle piece. While that made me happy it also worried me, and my conflicting emotions started battling again. I wondered when one of them would finally win; this war inside of me was tiring.

Lunch never helped my resolve to stay away. The more I learned about Bella, the more I wanted to stay.

During lunch we would question each other; both of us dodging any questions that we deemed would give away too much information.

I absorbed every word Bella said with an eagerness that couldn't be curbed. I had learned she preferred books from my time rather than her own. Much to my surprise were shared similar musical tastes, she was very much a fan of the classics. Talking with Bella was always the highlight of my day. Listening to the thoughts of the other students was the only down side.

The annoying chatter of gossip coming from the children at the school was at an all-time high. Bella had been at the heart of the gossip even before she had arrived in Forks. Even then the words the students had spoken were harsh. Most of them had wondered if she would be as flighty as her mother had apparently been.

When Bella had showed up at school with the two little girls the grapevine had had a field day about her and her "daughters," only for it to change into something far worse when everyone had found out that Anna and Cissy weren't her children.

Finding out about the fire, the deaths of their families, and Anna panic attacks, had led to the stories about drug lords, mafia, and all other types of low lifes that Bella's family might have been a part of.

There really weren't many kind thoughts about Bella those first few weeks. As time continued and the stories started becoming stale, Bella's time in the gossip spot light had seemed to dim. Spending time with the elusive Cullen family had put her right back in the middle of that spot light.

Bella knew that would happen, but that didn't mean I had to like it. I wasn't the only one unhappy about that though.

While Bella seemed able to ignore the ugly stories that were spreading around the school, none of my siblings nor I, could. Oh, we all had different methods from keeping us from killing someone, though all of the ones my family was using at the moment were new.

Emmett would think about the little girls, holding Cissy, and playing with Anna. Rose would focus her thoughts around playing dress up with Anna. Alice would lose herself to thoughts about taking Bella shopping again. Jasper would go over the conversations he had with Bella so far. From their conversations during passing period, it was obvious that the two of them could spend hours discussing history.

All I really had to do was think about Bella to calm down. The thought of her, could keep me from doing something I knew I wouldn't really regret, but I still shouldn't do.

Our routine continued much like it had before Anna had helped us to get Bella to start talking with us. Despite spending time with us during school, that was the only interaction we had with her. She never invited us over and whenever any of us would ask her over she would decline, claiming she didn't have the time to spend. It hadn't been an excuse, Bella really didn't have much free time. That was something we were hoping we could change.

So far there hadn't been any problems. That is until the Saturday after Bella had started spending time with us.

Charlie was taking his daughter and her cousins to La Push.

I wasn't allowed in La Push, none of my family were. The last time we had been living in the area we had been hunting on the Quileute's land, and we had met a group of shape shifters. We made a treaty with the leader, Ephraim Black, which had kept our two families from fighting. The treaty kept the peace between our two groups, who were enemies. Neither of our sides would break the treaty, it would cause a war between are two families, something none of us wanted.

That meant we wouldn't be able to watch over Bella during the day. I wasn't happy about that. The shape shifters had all died by now, there was no one in La Push to protect Bella if the Hunters finally decided to show up; not that I would trust those werewolves -as they called themselves- to protect her.

Jasper and I followed Bella's car as far as we could. If only Bella wasn't wearing her ring. I'd feel better if Alice could see her, we'd know that they'd be alright.

"We might as well head back to the house, there's nothing more we can do until she's on our side of the treaty line." Jasper turned to head back to the house. I could tell from his posture that he wasn't going to leave until I did though. His thoughts were suspicious, and unsure if I'd cross the treaty line so I could continue to watch over Bella.

I sighed and raced for the house.

Jasper was relieved, and I caught a glimpse of a thought about how he would have willingly joined me if I had wanted to cross the line. No matter how badly I wanted to, I couldn't do that to my family. Even though there weren't any wolves left, I wouldn't do anything that could hurt my family.

When we got back to the house we found Emmett playing a video game, while Rose and Alice were working on their laptops, doing something about their wardrobes. Esme was working in her study, and Carlisle had an early shift at the hospital, so he would be back in a couple hours.

Emmett paused the game, turning to us as we joined them. "What are you doing here? What happened to watching Bella and the girls?"

Jasper grabbed a second controller. "They're down in La Push."

"What?!" Rose just barely managed to control her strength enough not to break her laptop. "They're not safe there. There isn't any way for us to protect them."

I nodded and slumped into one of the lounge chairs. "We can't do anything until they get back. They'll most likely stay there until dinner or after dinner."

Alice closed her laptop and set it on the coffee table. She crossed her arms over her chest and slouched in her own seat. "This is why I need to be able to see her."

"Think positively, we don't know that anything bad will happen to them." Jasper used his gift to help with all of our worry. He was worried about them too, and having the rest of our worries wasn't helping his.

He and Emmett played video games, but the rest of us couldn't focus on anything besides Bella and her cousins. Were they alright? Had they been hurt? Had the Hunters tried to harm them again?

I couldn't shake any of those questions out of my head. Especially since everyone else was thinking them too.

When Carlisle walked in and found the five of us in the living room, he immediately was worried. "What's going on?"

I answered, letting my mood appear in my words. "Bella and the girls are in La Push."

Carlisle understood. He sighed and headed off to put his stuff away and find Esme.

I stared up at the ceiling, ignoring everyone, blocking their thoughts as best I could. Time seemed to drag on forever. I didn't know how much more I could wait. It seemed like every few minutes my brother was sending a wave calm and relaxation at me.

At some time Carlisle and Esme had joined us in the living room, but I honestly couldn't tell when that had been. It could have been minutes ago, or it could have been hours. As lost in my worried thoughts as I was I couldn't even tell how long it had been since Jasper and I had been home.

Our silence was ended by the sound of Rose's phone ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket and glanced at the number. She didn't recognize it. She answered the call after the third ring, bringing the phone up to her ear. "Hello?"

We all listened to the person over the phone take a deep breath. "Rosalie," Bella's beautiful voice came over the phone.

I was up out of my seat in an instant.

"It's Bella. I'm ready to talk." Hearing those words made my heart soar.

'Finally,' Rose and Alice sighed together.

'Now we can finally know what we're up against.' Jasper

'Yes, now we can see some action.' Emmett

'This is wonderful. A wish come true.' Esme was silently cheering, absolutely thrilled.

Carlisle's thoughts killed my mood instantly. 'What brought about the change?'

I didn't have an answer for that question yet, but we'd be able to ask soon.

"Alright, why don't you and the girls come over," Rose suggested. "Or we could go over to your house," she added when Bella didn't say anything.

"No, um we'll come over."

I made my way over to the door as Rose told her that we'd be there to show them the way to the house. Bella's next words stopped me though.

"Come alone Rosalie, if there's anyone else with you, I won't be coming."

'Why would she want Rosie to come alone?' Emmett glanced my way, but I didn't have any clue.

I shrugged.

'She can't hurt Rose, I think we should let her go.' Jasper

Everyone else's thoughts echoed Jaspers.

Rose glanced at me. 'You know she's telling the truth. If anyone else shows up she won't come. We need to take this chance to talk to her now before she changes her mind.'

I sighed and nodded. I took a seat on the couch, planning to stay there, even though I didn't want to.

Rose finished up talking with Bella quickly. "I'll be there in a little while. Bye Bella." She pocket her phone before turning to us. "I'll be back quickly."

I watched as she raced out of the house, not bothering to take a car.

It took all my will power, and a psychic pixie to keep me from following after Rose.

Author's Note

I'm sorry that this chapter was so short. You can expect next chapter to be much longer.

Only one question this time. Who is looking forward to the next two chapters?

Warning, the next two chapters are going to be relatively long. They will both be in Edward's POV and we are going to hear many thoughts from him and his family; and also from Anna.

I'm so excited and I can't wait, so here's hoping I can get the next chapter out before next Saturday.

Cross your fingers with me and let's hope for the best,
