A/N: Please Review! I don't really care if a lot of people review, and I will probably keep writing no matter what. But I would like to know if at least a few people are enjoying the story so far. Thanks!! :)

I went back to the kitchen to finish packing the breakables. Alice came to join me instead of Esme. Alice always knew when I was upset and she was almost as good as Edward at making me feel better. She looked at me and sighed,

"Bella, he didn't mean that offensively. Remember how he grew up." She said in her high, trilly voice.

"That's not an excuse! Times have obviously changed. He's been around to see that. He can't talk to me like that." I was desperately trying to stay mad, but I found that I was losing my resolve.

"He's just stressed. He's not ready to see Renesmee grow up. Although she already looks older than both of you, and he's known for quite awhile what is supposed to happen. But it's Edward, he always overreacts when it comes to you and Nessie. He just loves you two so much." She said to me, and I knew she was right. I should have seen this coming. I sighed.

Alice turned to me and flashed me a big grin. "Besides, I don't think either of you are seeing the whole picture."

"What does that mean?" I asked her, getting some of that anger back. What wasn't she telling me.

"I think you should go get Edward and talk to Ness some more. I think she has more to say to you." She trilled back and then danced out of the room with a box of breakables.

I walked out the back door to the woods behind our condo. I knew that I could find Edward out there. He liked to go to the top of a nearby hill whenever he needed to do some thinking. I ran to the spot, slowing down as I got nearer, and relaxed my shield so that he would know I was coming.

Edward, its me, Bella. Talk to me about what just happened.

He stepped out from behind a tree. His eyes were still tight and looked wary, but I could see in his facial expressions that he was feeling guilty. He hated it when we had the smallest of arguments and he had never even come close to yelling at me like today.

"I'm sorry, Bella. What I said to you earlier was uncalled for, you have to understand—" he began.

"Yeah I know, Alice already talked to me. But it does bother me that that was your first reflex. I can make decisions for myself. I wish that you would respect that." I said. I may have lost some of my anger, but he wasn't going to get off scott-free.

He was in front of me, in an instant. His hands latched on to the top of my hands tightly, like he was about to shake me. But instead he looked deep into my eyes. "Bella, love, I am so sorry. I don't want you to think that I don't respect you. You are the smartest woman I have ever met, and sometimes I forget that fact. You are absolutely amazing." He breathed into my face, and the last of my resolve faded away. I tilted my head upwards and crushed my lips into his. He moved his arms to my back to help me keep my balance and we shared a more passionate kiss than I believed possible. I wrapped my arms around him, my Edward.

"I love you," I whispered, "I'm sorry too." He leaned back from me at that moment. "What do you have to be sorry for?"

"I should have talked to you before I said that I approved of her idea. I put you in a bad situation, you had to be the bad guy. But I think we should go talk to her together, and try to do this rationally this time. Alice said that there is something that we are missing." I said back to him, my arms were still wrapped around him.

"Hmm…" he said, leaning forward to kiss me again, "I can think of something else I'd rather do first."

I wiggled out of his arms and said it my best seductive voice, "Come with me now and I'll make it up to you tonight." He raised one of his eyebrows at me. Before he could say anything else, I took off running as fast as I could back to the condo. "Race you!" I said back in his direction. He passed me almost immediately- he was ridiculously fast.

He waited for me at the back door and we walked in together. I had been so focused on Edward that I hadn't heard all the commotion going on in the house. The air was definitely tense. "Hmm…" he said, "it does seem that our daughter has something else to tell us."

End Note: This is moving very slow. But apparently the characters have a lot of their daily life that they want you to see. They are still a family and there are still daily issues that have to be dealt with. You are lucky you got to escape 7 years of it as it is.
