A/N
I missed this Bella and Edward so I'm updating...I'M DOING THE SEQUEL!!!!
I decided that even if I only got one person to request it that I should do it for them at least, and I love this story so it will be fun! Anyway, on with the story, still BPOV
I could feel the lids of my eyes getting heavier, Edwards breaths were getting softer.
"Bella?" I couldn't open my eyes
"Hm?"
"Can we do it again?" WRONG...my eyes flew open. He saw the look I had. "I mean after we sleep of course."
I had a huge smile on my face, I knew I did. I was too embarrassed to say anything so I just nodded and he beamed down at me.
He leaned down and kissed each of my eye lids shut, rolled to the side of me and pulled me close to his warm bare body.
"Sleep well Bella." I loved him calling me Bella, it sent flutters through me each time.
"You too Edward." And with that we both fell asleep within minutes.
EPOV
I woke to the sun rising, I could see it outside my window. Every few moments I would lean over and kiss Isabella, either her hand, her cheek, her forehead, nose, neck, or lips. I could not get enough of her. The love I have for her only exceeded what most humans are capable of. It swells inside of me everyday with every look, smile, word, or touch.
"Morning." I look over to see her rubbing her eyes trying to wake herself.
"Good morning." I leaned over and kissed her lips softly. I was surprised when her fingers wrapped tightly in my hair and pulled me to her. I, of course, didn't fight her. She felt the smile on my lips and I felt hers do the same.
"Were you anxious to see me this morning?" I asked her. Her cheeks blushed and I rubbed my fingers gently down her cheek. I let my hand rest there a moment then pulled it down to her neck, her arms, and by the time I got to her waist I was more than anxious.
I put one hand around her hips and the other around her neck to pull her as close to me as was humanly possible.
"Wait." She gasped out.
"What?" She didn't speak. She had her hands around my neck and brought them to my chest. She slowly pushed her hands down to my stomach. One hand went around to my back and the other kept sliding down.
I breath was instantly stuck in my throat and I couldn't move. I'm sure the color on my cheeks were much brighter than what was on Bellas a moment ago.
"B...Uh..." I was lost for words and couldn't speak. She was rubbing her hand painfully slow, she just touched my belly button.
She sat up quickly and I just stared at her.
"What's wrong? Did I...do something...I..." Bella's lips cut off my words. She brought herself to sit across my knees.
"You didn't do anything wrong." She smiled up and me and she brought her hands from my knees up to my inner thigh.
She kept her gaze on me as she brought her hands forward. I was gasping quickly.
I actually felt somewhat ashamed letting her do this. It didn't feel right.
All of those thoughts were quickly out of my head when her little fingers wrapped around me.
"Bella!" It was nothing more than a mumble, it was extremely difficult for me to speak. I knew if I let her continue any longer I wouldn't be able to wait. I felt slightly ashamed by that.
I pushed her over until she was under me. I kissed her lips hard with as much passion as I was feeling for her.
"I love you Edward." I knew waiting was about to not be an option.
I lowered myself to her and looked in her eyes for permission. After her frantic nod I slowly pushed myself forward. I didn't know if it would still cause her pain so I wasn't going to chance it.
Apparently there was no pain, the moment I brought myself to her one hand was on my back and one was in my hair pulling me quickly. Her fingers dug into my back as she let out little whimpers.
I let that push me quicker but still took caution to not hurt her, I kept my pace steady.
I was quickly reaching the edge and knew she was when her gasps were more often and louder. I was trying to just focus on her and hold my voice back but it was growing increasingly difficult.
"Bella, Bella." She brought her hips up hard and I was gone. I pushed one more time with as much force as she used and I felt her clench and fall of the edge as well.
I instantly showered her face with as many kisses as she would let me. Knowing what I did to her, what I made her feel, was something I knew I would never willingly give up.
I held her tiny body close to mine and brushed her hair out of her face.
"I love you Bella. With all I have in me and with every inch of me. I cannot wait to make you my wife. To see you everyday and love you more with each moment that passes. The love I feel for you is far too deep to cease, there will be no end. I will love you in death and for the rest of eternity."
She beamed at me and I saw her eyes glisten slightly. She pulled me to her and I held her until I felt her stir beneath me.
"What would you like to eat?" She asked me
"Something simple. Nothing too big."
"I'll be right back then. You wait here. I'll bring it up." She stood up and put my button up shirt on over herself then walked out. She was only gone for a few minutes then brought up two plates. "Here you are." She handed it to me smiling.
We ate and conversed lightly. After we were finished we both got dressed then took the plates down to the kitchen.
"I was going to visit mother today, do you want to come." She rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Of course I do."

"She is alright, but she isn't doing as well as she was yesterday. She is coughing again and we can hear the fluids in her lungs increasing slightly." Dr. Carlisle said to me.
"Can I stay with her?" I knew it was a pointless question, they had even more cots filled with sick people today than they did yesterday.
"I'm sorry Edward, we aren't letting anyone stay." I nodded. "I'll go talk to the nurses to distract them so you can have a few more minutes."
"Thank you sir." He smiled at me. Bella was standing by my mother when the doctor pulled me aside. She gave me a hopeful smile but I didn't return it fully. I didn't want to say anything or give anything away to my mother.
"Edward, take Isabella home. You two don't need to be here. I don't want you coming around here and getting yourselves sick. If I were to need you at any time I'll send Dr. Carlisle to you."
It broke my heart knowing how frail my mother was. I wanted to be here with her but I knew she was kicking Bella and I out to put her mind at ease. She has too much to worry about rather than making herself worse thinking one of us could get sick.
"I love you Mother." I leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"I love you son. Now take Isabella home and take care of her. I'll be home soon." I tried to smile but it was a weak one.
"Goodbye Elizabeth. Try to rest." She squeezed my mothers hand and she nodded.
Isabella and I decided it was time to get a few extra things from the market. We walked from the hospital, there.
"What would you like to get?" I asked Isabella.
"Just a few small things. Apples, bread, cheese. Things like that." I nodded I understood. I turned to get the apples from the stand directly behind Isabella.
"Edward!" I jerked around to see Isabella disappearing around a corner. I ran as fast as I could to where I saw her being drug to.
"Don't touch me!"
"Such a feisty little thing aren't you. No wonder he keeps you around."
I was searching everywhere but I could only hear their voices. I heard her take a deep breath to scream but it was instantly cut off.
"Shhhh. You will only make things worse for yourself. Just play along and you will be free once I'm done with you."
I was going mad trying to find her. I was in an abandoned ally with many doors to the backs of old shops. I was bursting through as many as I could praying that Isabella would be there when I opened it. I was trying desperately to keep quiet so the man would not do anything worse to her.
"Ugh!" I heard the man grunt in pain and then a hard slap. "How dare you!" Isabella's quiet sobs were echoing down the ally. I only had a few doors left on both sides. I was getting closer and Isabella's cries were getting louder. I kept hearing something tear but I couldn't place what it was.
"You brought this on yourself you know. Had you have just been still and quiet, this all could have been over by now." I heard her sobs again with another loud tear. "I've been watching you Isabella. Since I saw you the first day I've been keeping an eye for when he would leave you so I could take you. I was actually about to give up, he is such a clingy little thing. But as he turned away for that brief moment I took my chance." There was another grunt of pain and an even louder slap "I told you to keep still! You will be lucky if you see him again!"
I burst through a door I heard the most noise in and found Isabella lying on the floor shaking with a man standing over her. I didn't take a second to absorb this before I ran over punched the man as hard as I possibly could and pushed him to the wall.
This was no man. This was someone younger than me. Albert.
"Hello Edward." I shoved my knee in his stomach, when he leaned over to hold his stomach I brought my knee back up and I heard his nose make a familiar crunch.
I looked over and I suddenly knew where the tears had come from. Isabella's dress was torn to pieces. The bottom of her dress had holes in it and the top was in shreds.
I turned back around and gave Albert one last punch in his face then picked my Bella up and started home as quickly as I could.
After I got her in the house and sat her on her bed I got a good look at her. Not only was her dress falling off her body, her hair was falling from the place it sat on her head, her face was red and swollen on both sides and there was already a bruise forming under her right eye. She laid there shaking.
I broke to my knees punched the floor and said words I've never said in the presence of a lady. I was furious. The louder I spoke the harder Isabella shook.
I stood and walked to the bed beside her. She looked up at me with tear filled eyes and I knew what she wanted. I put myself beside her and held her as closely as possible.
"Sh Isabella. You're safe now. I'm here. You're safe. I promise." After rocking her for a long while she fell asleep. I put her down on the pillow, pulled the covers over her and walked to my room. I finally let the fear of almost losing her take over me. I tried to keep it from her when I was near her but now that I was alone I let fear have me. I kept my sobs as silent as possible so as to not wake her.
I was instantly brought to reality when I heard Isabella's piercing scream. I flew into her room and saw her flailing on her bed.
"Isabella wake up. Can you hear me?" I ran to her side and scooped her in my arms so she wouldn't fall of the bed and hurt herself. I was trying to keep her from hitting me but holding all of her dead weight in my arms prevented it. I let her hit me and still tried to sooth her with my words.
"Isabella please! I need you to wake up now. Isabella?" She was still screaming and still hitting.
"I love you. Isabella I'm in love with you. Please wake up for me." She stopped hitting me but her sobs took over when she stopped screaming. I took my chance to gently shake her shoulders.
"Isabella love? It's Edward. Can you please wake up?"
"Edward!" She screamed my name and fear coursed through me again even though I knew she was safe in my arms. The fear of what she was seeing behind those eye lids is what was running through my veins.
"Bella! Please I need you! I need you to wake up for me Bella!" She stirred in my arms and her eyes opened. The violent sobs took her body again but I knew it was because of the dream she just had.
"Edward I tried! I tried so hard to get away! You were outside the door but you couldn't get in. I was racing for the door but I never got far. He always grabbed me. I yelled for you, the louder I got the more he did to me. You were calling for me. Begging me to let you in. I couldn't. I couldn't get him off me. I tired so hard."
"It's okay Bella. I will never leave your side again. I swear to you. I will always keep you safe and no one will ever touch you. You are safe with me." She stroked her hair and cheeks trying to calm her. "I love you my Bella."
"I was afraid. I was so scared." She whispered softly
"Shhh. It's alright now. I'm here, I'm not leaving you."
We fell asleep in the clothes we wore today.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I woke during the night to my Isabella's beautiful smile.
"Good evening Edward." I admit, I was slightly confused.
"...Hi?" It came out as a question and she giggled slightly.
"I'm better. Don't fret." Another beautiful smile graced her lips.
"Are you sure?" She nodded. She did look better. She only had the bruise under her eye. The swelling had gone down, I got her ice last night to put on her cheeks.
"Thank you Edward. That wasn't the first time you've saved me. I don't know what I would have done.
It seems I'm only a trouble for you. I'm so sorry for what I've done to you."
"Sh. No. Don't ever repeat that. I would rather die than be without you." I was surprised when her lips crushed mine with the most force she's ever used.
"Bella." She put her hand over my lips to keep me from speaking.
"I want to." It didn't feel right to me. She was just in shock.
"No Bella. You need your rest." She wasn't having that. She pressed her lips to mine again. I was already burning with heat, it wasn't even warm in this room a moment ago. I could feel the sweat beading up.
"Please Edward. I need this. I need to be as close to you as possible." I was sickened by how much I could see the truth of her words by the look in her eyes.
I pressed my lips to her and pulled her to me. She was already unbuttoning my shirt as I was pulling the tattered dress from her body.
"Don't hold back. Please Edward, don't hold yourself back for me." The rest of our clothes hit the floor but I still waited for her permission before I pushed myself forward.
"I love you Edward." I pushed myself harder to her than I ever have before.
Before I could continue I was shocked at the force of the cough that took over me for a moment.
"Are you alright?" I could see the fear in her eyes again.
"Yes. I'm fine Bella." Before she could respond I quickened my pace and used more force.
–
After our bodies reached their limits Isabella sat up and wrapped her arms around me.
"Are you hungry Bella?" She nodded. "I shall bring something to you"
"You're going to leave me?"
"No, I'll never leave you Isabella. I'm just going downstairs to bring you food back up. You brought me breakfast this morning, I just want to do the same for you. That's all my love." She nodded and had a slight smile. "I promise I will return." I kissed her lips then stood to exit the room.
BPOV
He walked out of the room and I couldn't help but notice how much warmer he was than normal. Even after what just happened.
My heart sunk when I heard a loud crash and groans downstairs. I leaped out of bed and ran to the stairs. I thought someone had stabbed my heart when I looked down to see Edward sprawled out at the foot of the stairs.
"Edward!" I raced to the bottom and put his head in my lap. He started coughing out, I put my hand against his cheek and could practically feel flames on his cheeks.
"I'm so sorry Isabella. I didn't mean to." He told me with a frail voice.
"Nonsense. You're fine." I heard a knock on the door.
"Let me get it." I couldn't help the tears that filled my eyes as Edward tried to fight to stand. I couldn't believe how weak he was already.
"No. Stay here." As propped him against the wall he grabbed my hand
"You can't. It's too late for someone to be here."
"I'll be alright. You're right here. You can see me."
"No. Bella please."
"I'll be fine Edward." I kissed his lips and walked to the door.
I couldn't have been more happy to see who was at the door.
