"Ready to face the day?"

"After a cup of coffee, throw it at me." She teased back. She was smiling, it was good to see her smile and it was natural. He kissed her stroking her cheek.

"I love you Bella."

"I love you too Edward, now scoot... I need to pee pee." She moved around him and walked into the bathroom he scoffed.

"Have you heard the term too much information?"

"Yes, but it doesn't apply to you." She said back.

He smirked and grabbed some clothes deciding since she was in a good mood he wasn't going to mess this one up. He'd simply agree.

Bella didn't remember the funeral that day she just sort of went through the motions. Edward was there beside her and that was all that mattered. After the funeral family and friends were at her moms visiting and she had to get away from the people and just be alone. Too long with this many people was just too much.

She disappeared into her room. Edward had watched her head up the stairs and was going to follow but Emmett stopped him.

"May I?"

He nodded and sat back down. Emmett pushed open her cracked door and slipped in shutting it and looking around noticing how the room had not changed much from when they were kids. She was lying on the bed facing away from him.

"You know we used to get into all kinds of trouble in here."

Hearing his voice she chuckled.

"Yeah we did."

He crossed the room and sat down in front of her on the floor so his face was close to hers.

"I often wondered if you and Edward would finally get busy in here."

She flashed him a look and he chuckled.

"Hey, you did get busy, not here but you did. I was right you know." He ran his hand over her face and pulled his knees up. He chuckled to himself.

"God Bella he was so in love with you back then, you should have heard him talk about you. I never teased him then and I don't know why. Maybe it was because I knew it was true love and something told me what was to be maybe I knew it was going to be a hard road for you two. I don't know. I loved you guys though. I wanted to see you two work it out and now I finally get to see all the hard work pay off."

Bella smiled gently. He bit his lip.

"I didn't realize it meant I would lose you and my nephew. I miss you guys."

She sighed, "I'm so sorry. I didn't intend to stay in LA. I don't know why it suddenly fits for me. I miss you and Rose so much too. I miss my teddy bear."

"I can't exactly whip Edward into shape from here you know." He teased.

She reached out and he rested his hand on top of hers on the bed.

"Bella, it's like my life isn't complete without you and Tim in it. You're my family. We've been a family for years he's like my own son."

She looked down feeling guilty. He was right, he had played the father figure in his life from the time he was born and it was fair to either of them to keep them apart. She met his eyes.

"If you want, I'll move back. You're an essential part of our lives, and I shouldn't keep Timmy from you."

Emmett chuckled.

"Bella, you sound like we're having an affair. No butter cup. I know you are married now and have a family, I just mean we need to work something out to get us closer. Rose tells me you mentioned a job in LA. I'm not against moving, Forks doesn't hold me here. I can be a big city guy too you know."

"Really." She said raising her eyebrow.

He shrugged his shoulders.

"I am sure Edward can show me the ropes, besides you should have seen her eyes light up. Bella she's always wanted to get out of Forks. You know she stays because of me but deep down my perfect Rose is a LA diva."

Bella smiled, "I know, Beverly Hills all the way."

He nodded.

"Well, I don't know if I can afford that but she would like LA and she and Alice are catching up and she loves that. It's also nice to catch up with Jasper. I've missed him and with Alice pregnant, I think you two are putting the idea of kids in her head."

Bella smiled.

"Is that so bad?"

"No, no I'd love to have a baby with her." He ran his hands through his hair.

"I can see their faces, Bella they'd be so beautiful. My Rosie, she's beautiful." He sighed smiling at her.

"I can't wait to marry her and have kids. I'll do the interview at the school in LA. I don't know if we can afford a house there even if we sell our house aren't they really expensive?"

Bella nodded, "You can stay with us and remember you have to sell the flower shop too, but we're going to reopen one in LA so...you will have an income from that as well."

"Bella, renting a place in LA will cost a fortune." He said concerned.

She smiled squeezing his hand.

"Good thing I have a rich husband to help us huh?"

He smirked.

"I had forgotten that part."

She giggled then sighed and was quiet. He watched her a moment and reached up stroking her cheek.

"Bella, I know it hurts but in time all wounds heal and it will always be painful, but it will hurt less."

She knew he was right. She just wished they had been on better terms the last few years. It seemed like since she had gotten pregnant their relationship had never been the same and he had been distant and she had never reached out to bridge the gap. She regretted that now.

Emmett kissed her hand.

"He knew you loved him. He always knew."

She wiped the tears that were now falling.

"Why is it when someone passes you always think of all you should have done?" She said softly.

Hearing a soft knock she lifted her head.

"Come in."

Rose walked in shutting the door and crawling into bed behind her wrapping her arms around her.

"Here are my two favorite people."

Bella giggled. Rose brushed her hair back.

"Is my baby trying to talk you into moving back?" Rose asked gently.

Bella sniffed and smiled.

"No, he's actually considering the move to LA."

Rose met Emmett's eyes and he smiled at her.

"Well I mean you would like it there." He said with a shrug. She chuckled and kissed Bella's head.

"Edward is getting worried about you honey, he's so cute with his little brow all furrowed."

Bella smiled. She didn't mean to make him worry she just needed a little time. She was sure he would understand.

"The kids?"

"Wonderful, Tim is being spoiled and the beautiful Lily is being passed between grandparents." Rose said with a chuckle.

Emmett stood, "I'll let him know you're ok."

"Thanks Em."

"De nada." He said kissing her temple as he walked out. Rose watched him leave and smiled.

"He's so cute when he talks Spanish. It's all sexy and stuff."

Bella rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Ok, don't go all hormonal on me here." She rolled to her back and turned her face to see her. Bella smiled.

"I've missed you Rose."

"I know." Rose said knowingly and if I come to LA are you going to introduce me to some hot celebs like who's that pirate guy I think is hot?"

Bella raised an eyebrow, "Orlando Bloom?"

"Yeah him."

Bella laughed, "I don't know him, but Edward may. I am sure he could why would you want to meet him? You've got Emmett and he's probably very small compared to Emmett."

Rose raised an eyebrow in thought.

"You know, I think your right. They always look bigger onscreen. I think I'll stick to my fantasies and keep dressing Emmett like a pirate."

Bella slapped her hand over her face and groaned.

"He doesn't look very big onscreen Rose though he is cute and you dress Emmett like a pirate?"

Rose giggled, "Yeah, I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you."

Bella looked at her and they both started laughing. The door opened and they both looked up. Edward leaned in and they started laughing again. He raised a curious eyebrow as they rolled on the bed and he walked in sitting beside Bella.

When she could breathe Bella looked at Rose.

"Boots and hat?"

Rose looked at her wide eyes, "Sword too."

They started laughing uncontrollably again. Edward had no idea what was so funny but he was at least glad she was laughing. Bella wiped her tears and finally stopped laughing holding her stomach.

"Oh my god, my stomach hurts. You freaking pervert."

Rose hit her with the pillow still laughing as she got up.

"Like you and Edward don't do it."

Edward frowned having no idea what she was talking about and now he was wondering if he even wanted to know and what he had just walked in on.

"Don't do what?" He asked curious.

Rose smirked.

"Play dress up, you know dress up for one another, role play for fun."

He looked confused. Rose laughed and clarified.

"I see you clearly don't get it, dress in costume, you know like you.... acting but you do it while you're making love you know to make it different and more interesting."

Edward blushed embarrassed and Rose grinned.

"Oh my god you don't do you?"

He cleared his throat, "No we don't."

Bella took his hand and sat up beside him.

"Rose, see you later." She hinted. Rose smiled back at her while shutting the door.

"I can take a hint." She said as she left.

Edward looked at Bella shocked. She shook her head.

"Don't ask."

Reaching up he stroked her cheek and kissed her lips gently deciding to do as she asked. It was probably better anyway, he had a feeling he didn't want to know.

"How are you feeling?" He said as his lips trailed to her forehead for another light kiss.

"I'm not sure it's kind of a blur. It all seems so unreal." Bella answered resting her hand on his knee. He sighed. He didn't know what to say grief wasn't a subject he was really too familiar with. He rested his chin on her head.

"Tell me what you need from me I'll do whatever you need."

"The kids are ok?"

"Yes love, my parents and your mom are taking care of them. Not to mention Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rose. They are very well taken care of."

"Will you take me somewhere?" She asked as he ran his fingers through her hair waiting on her to speak.

"Certainly, where?"

She bit her lip looking up.

"You'll think I'm crazy." She whispered. He looked deep in her eyes and stroked her cheeks seeing the need deep within them.

"No love, I won't. Tell me where and I'll take you."

"I want to go to the place we first made love." She said avoiding his eyes. He lifted her chin forcing her to look at him.

"Are you sure it's getting dark?" She was surprised he didn't question why, but simply brought up the time. She bit her lip again nervously and nodded. He shook his head looking into her eyes for a long moment. She couldn't read what he was thinking but she could see he was worried.

"Allright then, get a sweater in case it gets cool."

Slipping off the bed she grabbed a sweater and took his hand. He grabbed a jacket and followed her out. He told his parents they were headed out for a little bit and drove her to the place she requested, the place he remembered vividly as if it were yesterday.

Not much had changed. It was still isolated and close to the park it was still as beautiful now as it was then. He was surprised it had stayed the same in all these years, but this was Forks and in a small town not much changed.

He inhaled deeply following her trail to lean on the tree beside where she stood looking around. She smiled softly.

"We made our son here."

He reached out pulling her flush against him.

"Yes love, we did."

Neither could fight the memories that bombarded them both. She shivered and he slid his coat off offering it to her.

"Here."

She turned looking up at him, "I'm not cold."

He looked surprised but said nothing as she pulled away walking a little further into the woods. He couldn't deny she was more beautiful today than she was the first day they were here. She just seemed to get more beautiful each day or maybe he fell in love with her more each day he wasn't sure which.

He watched her turn to face him and hold out her hands. Smiling he walked to her lacing his fingers with hers. He felt his jacket drop from his arm but he didn't bother to pick it up, he didn't want to look away from her deep amber eyes. She placed his hands on her waist and cupped his face in her hands.

"We were so young then." She whispered.

Her thumb traced his lips and he closed his eyes involuntarily. She smiled seeing his reaction and continued.

"We had no idea what the world had in store for us."

He opened his emerald eyes to see her and smiled. She was nothing less than extraordinary. She was the love of his life then and now, nothing would or could ever change that. She was the mother of his children. He couldn't imagine his life with anyone else.

He reached up with his right hand stroking her cheek.

"He had a son in store for us that night." He said as he leaned down and kissed her nose. She moved closer against him resting her arms around his neck and playing with the hairs at the nape of his neck.

"What does he have in store this night?" She asked so low he almost didn't hear her. He gripped her dress tightly at the waist.

"Bella, sweetheart I love you, but we can't do much more than hold each other."

She met his eyes.

"You said whatever I need." She reminded him.

He closed his eyes swallowing hard. He hadn't expected this.

"I didn't think...Bella I don't want to hurt you." It hurt him to see the pain in her eyes but he didn't want to hurt her and he wasn't really sure how much she had healed. She hadn't been back to the doctor for her check up yet. He didn't want to take any chances with her health.

Her fingers in his hair were driving him crazy and he moaned closing his eyes. She smiled raising her face to meet his tilted one.

"Edward, you won't hurt me. This isn't my first time and you know how to be gentle."

He opened his eyes meeting hers. He wanted so much to give her what she desired but he just wasn't sure. He shook his head no and watched as the tears began to slide down her rosy cheeks.

"Bella, no....please."

She rested her face on his chest.

"It's ok, I understand." She trembled and he held her closer rubbing her back. His heart aching. She was crushing him.

"Bella, please don't cry."

He pulled her face back to see in her eyes. He wiped the tears with his thumbs and searched for answers.

"Why Bella? Why now?" He asked.

"I need to feel close to you and this is where it all started. It just feels right... like it is a new start all over again. I can't explain it." She pulled away sitting on the grass.

"I probably sound stupid." She whispered broken.

She felt him behind her but wasn't sure what he was doing until she felt his lips on her shoulder. She tried to hold in the tears, this certainly wasn't helping if he wasn't going to follow through why even bother? It was then she felt his warm hands come around her ribs and realized he had unbuttoned the back of her dress. Sneaky little thing wasn't he...

His lips moved to hear ear as her breathing hitched.

"Bella, come to me love."

She swallowed hard closing her eyes. His velvety voice alone could drive her insane but the thought of what he was about to do was even better. She turned her head to see his face. He licked his lips and leaned closer to hers.

"Turn around angel, let me love you." She felt butterflies tighten in her stomach at his words and gripped the back of his head as his lips descended on hers. She had missed this, missed him and the intimacy they shared. She knew he would be gentle, he was just that way. He was even gentle their first time and that's a hard enough feat for a hormonal teenage boy.

He was no boy now, and she was no virgin she knew this would be different. She had a feeling it wouldn't hurt very long and in the end she was right. They lay quietly covered with his jacket, his left arm holding her close and her head on his right arm. He kissed her neck.

"How do you feel?" He asked.

She stretched and smiled.

"Content and happy."

He laughed and brushed her hair back knowing she was avoiding his question.

"Not exactly what I was asking."

"I'm a little sore, not really bad at all. It hardly hurts if I'm honest. It was nothing like the first time and I enjoyed it." She grinned kissing him. He smiled.

"Good to know. I just hope I was careful enough."

She smiled at him.

"You were perfect. You were gentle and loving and I couldn't ask for more. Why do you think I love you so much?"

He shrugged, "House in LA and I'm rich?"

She slapped his chest and sat up.

"We should get dressed, everyone will get worried."

"I have the oddest feeling everyone will know what we were up to when they see you." He smirked and stood. She looked at him oddly.

"Why do you say that?"

"You're glowing Bella, it's beautiful on you and very noticeable." He added buttoning his shirt.

She lifted her hair and turned.

"Could you?"

He looked at the buttons and smiled buttoning her dress and kissing his way up as he did. She sighed leaning into him. He chuckled wrapping his hands around her waist.

"You keep that up love and we won't be going home just yet." He teased.

She placed her hands on his and closed her eyes.

"If we have another baby, do you think maybe as a middle name we could name it Charlie?" She asked softly. He smiled resting his chin on her shoulder he didn't mind, male or female it would make a fine middle name.

"I think that sounds perfect."

She turned to face him.

"I love you Edward, I always have." She said with conviction. He pulled her close and rested his hands on her lower back.

"I love you too my wife. I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember."

"Sounds like a very long time." She teased.

"Extremely." He winked. He lifted her hand to look at her wedding ring and smiled.

"I think it will be for a much longer time too."

"How long do you think that is?" She asked resting her face back on his chest. He smiled.

"Until the stars no longer shine, until the sun no longer rises, even when my heart ceases to beat and my lungs cease to breathe I will always love you eternally."

He felt her shake and held her tighter kissing her head.

"I always promised you an eternity my angel and I meant it. You are a part of my soul and it can never be taken back. We are one Bella, you and I. It was just meant to be that way, some people search forever for what we found. We were very lucky."

"I think so too." She said softly.

As much as he loved this moment they really did need to get back to her moms. He pulled back.

"We need to go." He reluctantly took her hand and led her back to the car hating to leave but knowing they had responsibilities to attend to. He took her hand and held it on his leg.

"I hear we may have roomies in LA."

She looked at him and smiled.

"Yeah I didn't ask you, I hope it's ok."

"It's fine. I have plenty of room." He responded squeezing her hand. She looked out the window and relaxed. If Emmett and Rose come to LA things would be perfect, everyone would be close by and their kids could grow up together just like they did. It was what she had always wanted now maybe it could happen. Only time would tell.
