Me: Hey! I'm at my cousin's house right now!

Serena: Hell yesh!

Me: If you have read our combined story, Twice Hunted, Once Loved, then you've met her before :)

Serena: And I have my own account now. Yay.

Edward: Let's get this show on the road!

Bella's POV

Finally, I was out of town and heading to the Cullen house with Alexander's present. After practically getting lost in a damn grocery store, I found my way to Toys 'R Us, and bought Alexander a new stuffed bear. I knew he would love it. I entered Forks, and with some trouble, I found the path that led to the Cullen house. I looked at my watch. They wouldn't be out of school yet, so I would have more time to talk to Esme. I parked my car, and headed up to the house.

I debated knocking. Should I just walk in or knock like a normal person would? Just then, Esme opened the door with Alexander in her arms. He stretched towards me, and Esme handed him to me.

"Wasn't any trouble was he?" I asked, teasingly.

"He was no trouble at all," She said, laughing a tinkling bell laugh. "In fact, he was very calm."

"Are you excited, Alexander? One more day." I said poking his cheek.

He grabbed my finger, and put it in his mouth.

"Don't eat me," I murmured laughing silently.

Esme headed into the kitchen. From this angle, I could see there were many dishes there.

"Let me help. You can watch Alexander." I said, walking into the kitchen after her.

"Would you really do all these? I must admit, my boys are quite pigs." She muttered sheepishly.

I mentally snorted. Mr. Perfect Edward Cullen, a pig?

"Even Edward?" I asked.

She laughed, amused and overjoyed that I asked about Edward.

"Even him," She added.

We laughed, and I handed her to Alexander. She sat at the kitchen table, and talked to me while I stacked up the dishes.

"Tell me, Bella, do you believe in fairy tales?" She asked me.

"What kind of fairy tales?" I asked, very surprised by her question.

"Fairies, werewolves…vampires," She said, casually.

"Oh, those kind of fairy tales. Well, I don't really know. I mean, I'm sure I've never seen a werewolf, or fairy. Or even a vampire, but for me, believing is seeing. If I believe, maybe I'll see." I said, smiling over at her.

She returned my smile, and cooed to Alexander. I turned the water on, and began filling up the sink. I dumped some soap in the sink, and waited for the water to get high enough.

"So, none of the boys do the dishes?" I asked.

"Nope, not at all. It's usually just me, Rosalie, and Alice that do them. However, Carlisle does do them sometimes, and the rare days when Jasper does too. Edward and Emmett, however, are another story." She said, rolling her eyes.

"My dad won't do them either. Sometimes I wonder how he survived without me." I said, turning my attention back to the now full of water sink.

I dumped some of the dishes in there, and grabbed a washcloth, beginning to wash them.

"So how did you and Carlisle meet?" I asked, casually.

"Well, let's see…I was always a daredevil, so cliff-diving was a thrilling sport. However, on one of my dives, I broke my arm on a rock. I had to go see the doctor of course, and that doctor was Carlisle. He was very young like me, but ya know…we fell in love." She said.

"Wow. I am happy for both of you. Sometimes I wish that Kurt hadn't died, ya know? Because then we could have moved out here, and Alexander would have a father. I didn't want this to happen. Alexander not having a father, I mean. I wanted him to have a father, and a mother, and grow up happy. I didn't want to get a divorce or anything like that either. I wanted him to have the life I never had." I whispered.

"You are doing so much for him, Bella. Never think that he is unhappy. In fact, I think he is pretty happy right now. He has a mother who cares for him so much, and now he has another family that is helping the mother out." Esme said, smiling at me and Alexander.

I wiped my eyes and my nose with soapy water, and I began to cry again.

"Stupid soapy water," I mumbled getting a towel and wiping off my face.

She laughed, and Alexander yawned.

I wiped my hands off, and picked Alexander up. I rocked him gently, and hummed his lullaby. He just about instantly fell asleep. I took his blanket from his carrier, and swathed it around him. I placed him in his carrier, and looked over at Esme who was still sitting at the kitchen table.

"Motherhood suits you, Bella," She said, softly.

"Thank you," I said brightly as I made my way back to the dishes.

With a little side talking to Esme every now and again, I finished the dishes. Right after I had drained the water in the sink, everyone came home from school.

"Oh, and who might this be?" Emmett asked, looking at the sleeping Alexander.

"That's Alexander, Emmett, and this is his mother Bella. You didn't come down to see them last time." Esme scolded.

"Sorry," He muttered sheepishly. "I'm Emmett."

He stuck out his hand, and I shook it. He was like…really strong.

"And I am Jasper," The other boy besides Edward said.

I nodded to him, and looked at Esme.

"You need anything else?" I asked.

She laughed, and shook her head.

"No, no. You should go home. I'm sure that Charlie would like it if you were home. I don't think he would like it much if you were gone when he arrived, especially with what went on last night." Esme said.

I nodded.

"What happened last night?" Emmett asked.

I grabbed Alexander's carrier and ducked my head.

"It was…nothing," I said looking up, and smiled at them all.

With a final wave to Esme, I escaped out the door and to my car.

Esme's POV

"What happened, Esme?" Alice asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

Obviously, she didn't know what happened to Bella and Alexander. Probably because she wasn't look out for them.

"I'm sure that Edward can tell you," I said smiling in Edward's direction.

"Me?" He asked, his voice cracking a bit.

"Hm…how did we put it…her knight in shining armor?" I asked, smirking softly.

Emmett and Jasper grinned at me, and turned to Edward.

"Knight in shining armor?" Emmett asked, howling with laughter.

Jasper and Alice soon joined him. Rosalie just stood there, shaking her head.

"Well, last night Carlisle and I thought we heard screaming so I followed the direction of the screaming. It was coming from Isabella Swan's house. I found two men in there, one of which was in her room trying to get her and Alexander. I grabbed him, broke his hand, and threw him out the window. I went downstairs and got the other one, and threw him out the door as hard as I could." Edward answered.

We all just stared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Wow…," Alice murmured.

"Eh," He said shrugging.

"Edward loves a human! EDWARD LOVES A HUMAN!" Emmett yelled running around the house.

"Rosalie, will you get mad if I kill your husband?" Edward hissed.

"Eh…not really…Have fun," She said, waving her hand.

"Oh Rose…that hurts deep," Emmett said, pounding his chest for emphasis.

"Sure it does," Rosalie said, sneering and running up the stairs.

"Rose!" Emmett whined running up after her.

Jasper coughed, and edged for the door.

"I'm going to go hunt," He said running out the door.

"I'm going to join him," Alice murmured running after him.

I looked over at Edward.

"Edward? Tell me something…why did you save Bella? I don't object to it at all, but I just want to know." I said, softly.

He looked over at me, confusion and hurt lacing his golden eyes.

"Mom…," He whispered.

I was a little surprised. He didn't really address me as his mom unless we had humans over.

"I am so confused. Confused and angry and…" He trailed off.

"And what Edward?" I asked.

"And…in love…," He whispered.

Bella's POV

I pranced around the house, cleaning everything and anything. I also began cooking dinner for Charlie. Alexander was currently in his crib upstairs, and I had a little monitor that would alert me if he was awake.

After all the cleaning, and Charlie's food was almost done, I sat at the kitchen table to look over the homework that I didn't turn in since I didn't go to school. A thump on the monitor made me jump, and I laughed at myself. Alexander must be awake.

"Are you hungry, Alexander?" I asked walking up the stairs.

I went into my room, and saw what had made the noise. My window was open, the crib was turned over, and Alexander was gone.

"Alexander!" I screamed, running to the window. "Alexander! Alexander! ALEXANDER!"

Someone had kidnapped my sweet Alexander.

Me: Don't kill me! Don't kill me! –hides behind Jasper-

Bella: How dare you!?

Me: It'll get better!
