And last, I hope that you guys enjoy this chapter! I'm not done with chapter 18 yet, but I'm working on it!
CHAPTER 17
I heard them before I saw them,
"Edward you're kind of overreacting."
"Bella, you aren't thinking about this." Oh great, he's mad.
"I am, and I know that you're worried, but they do love each other. And she's okay, didn't you just hear them come home? Alice saw them coming home okay. They're okay, do you smell any blood? No."
"I can't believe that he's being so irresponsible."
I heard my mom sigh, "Come on, he's young and in love, cut him some slack."
"I'm not cutting our son any slack."
"Edward…"
"He can't just do this."
Now my mom was getting mad, "And why not?"
"It's dangerous. They've been with each other for not even three months."
It's now or never.
I walked into their bedroom to find them both sitting on the windowsill. They turned their heads when they saw me.
"Um. Hi…um, we're back?"
"What the hell were you thinking?"
"Edward!"
He ignored her…not good.
"No, it's not good. Do you know how dangerous it was for you two to be in the woods by yourselves? The Volturi are coming in a few weeks. And to top that off, we know why they're coming."
"Is Abigail going to be okay?"
"You could have killed her. Do you realize how much stronger you are then her? Sure you won't try to drink her blood, but you could have easily hurt her, and you couldn't have done anything about it."
"Why are the Volturi coming?"
"I'm talking. You have been so irresponsible lately. What if you got her pregnant? Ever thought about that? No I guess you didn't. Did you ever think that you two have only been dating for a little over two months? Or that she's going through a tough time right now and that she's confused? Did you ever think about how selfish you have been being? Taking away her soul just for your own happiness. How selfish."
I couldn't move, I couldn't think. Was I really being selfish? Did I pressure Abigail into it? Did we go too fast? Would she regret it later?
"I-I"
I felt my mother wrap her arms around me and she kissed my cheek, "Edward, that was harsh, don't you think?"
"I am trying to protect him, and I am trying to keep him and Abigail safe."
I stepped out of my mom's embrace and walked over to my dad, "Can you hear me out dad?"
I took a deep breath and continued, "I know that we've been with each other for less then a year. And I know that we're young, and I know that she went through a lot with her aunt. But we just talked about turning her into one of you guys. And I believe that you guys have souls. I mean really dad, do you think that mom doesn't have a soul? Because she does, you all do. And I'm sorry if loving my girlfriend is selfish dad, I really am. But neither one of us regret it. And I was careful, I was gentle with her okay? We were careful dad. We used protection. And I don't make decisions for me anymore, I make them for us and you're just going to have to get used to that."
He sighed, "I'm sorry that I overreacted. But Alice just saw something. And I fear that if something like this does happen, they will kill Abigail."
"What?" Please don't let this be happening.
"They're afraid that our coven is growing larger than theirs. They think that you and Abigail are going to try to have a child, another half vampire-half human. They fear that we're just going to keep growing. And with a pack of wolves on our side…"
"But Abigail and I aren't going to have a child."
"But they don't know that. And I am trying to find a way so that we don't have to change Abigail before they come."
I nodded my head, "I'm sorry for not telling you guys where we were ahead of time. And I'm sorry for making you all worry."
"I didn't mean to sound so harsh, it's just a lot going on."
I nodded my head once again, "I'm going to check on Abigail now. I'll see you guys later."
I kissed my mom on the cheek and gave her a small hug then headed back to my bedroom. I could still hear Abigail in the shower. I hesitated for a moment and then I knocked on the door.
"Abigail honey? Do you mind if I come in there for a sec?"
"Sure."
I opened the door and closed it behind me. Then without taking any of my clothes off, just my shoes, I opened the shower curtain and got in. I was drenched within minutes but I didn't care. I wrapped my arms around Abigail and kissed her lips fiercely.
Moments later, I removed my lips from hers and just held her there for what felt like forever.
"Um…Anthony?"
"Hm?"
"Uh, what exactly are you doing?"
I pulled slightly away from her, "I love you."
She laughed, so beautiful, "I love you too, but that doesn't mean I jump in the shower with all of my clothes on."
I looked down, I was soaked. Abigail was now wiping the wet hair out of my face and I shrugged my shoulders, "It would have been to arduous to take off all of these layers."
She laughed again, I love her perfect laugh, it's so angelic, "What happened to your super-speed?"
"Oh yeah! I guess I didn't think of that." Oh well, these clothes were dirty anyways.
She rolled her eyes and I watched a drop of water fall into her hand to my cheek, I leaned in to smell her neck, "You smell really good, especially in the water."
She smiled, "Thanks, you don't smell too bad yourself, but I do think that some shampoo would do you some good."
"I don't want to get soap on my clothes."
"Then take them off."
"Jeez, you're always trying to get my clothes off me aren't you?"
She playfully slapped my chest, "Oh shut up."
I laughed and then tried getting my sweater off, not as easy as it looks. It kept sticking to my shirt, which kept sticking to my skin, not cool. I looked back at Abigail who was cracking up.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Your lousy attempt at taking that sweater off."
I growled in frustration, "It's not so easy."
"Well maybe that teaches you a lesson, maybe next time you shouldn't jump in the shower with all of your clothes on."
I tried to get my sweater off with no luck, a few minutes later I felt small lands tugging at mine, "Would you like help?"
I smiled, "Boy would I ever."
Sorry guys, but I can't do lemons to save my life! I hope that it doesn't disappoint people too much, I don't mean to go all Breaking Dawn on you all. Soon Jacob and his fiance will come into the picture. I will try to update soon!
