"Give her to me Al," he said so persuasively I could have handed myself over.

"No, Edward, she wants to stay with us," Alice seemed to know what she was doing. Every time Edward made a plan to get me she was always one step ahead. When Emmett tried to distract her enough for Edward to leave and come up from behind, she would always move just in time.

"Fine Al if that's how you want it." Emmett tried to make a false plan to psychic her out, she always somehow knew. At that moment Esme was right behind Edward holding a baseball bat. I almost warned him, but something stopped me. Was it finally getting to me? This whole war thing? I didn't know and I didn't care. Whack! Esme hit Edward and Emmett over the head with the bat. Of course no serious damage came to either one of them, but her point was made..., and there was two big dents in the bat.

"What the heck was that for!"

"Oh, Emmett just parenting."

"You are the most abusive mother!"

"Your welcome for that."

"Yeah, sure, thanks."

"Now, you two better climb up those stairs and stay up there and think about what you did."

"What the-"

"Now," she said in a tone so sweet it was almost scary.

"Yes ma'am." They both ran up the stairs (vampire speed) away from their "loving mother".

"Thanks Esme, said Alice.

"Anytime."

"Well that was a bust," Emmett said in defeat. We walked into my room where we

"You think?"

"You don't always have to be so cranky Eddie."

"Yeah right, because I'm always the cranky one? What about that time when you and Rosalie got in a fight and you kick a hole in the wall."

"That's different."

"Uh-huh, sure."

"You guys!" Jasper ran in.

"What, Jazz." His eyes narrowed.

"Don't call me that. Anyway, Bella just left and she is coming up stairs to use the bathroom. This is our only other chance."

Without even thinking about it I ran to the bathroom, and hid behind the door. A few seconds later Bella walked in. I didn't want to scare her but there was no other choice. Besides I didn't go in there to spy, I went in there to rescue.

"Bella," I whispered. She spun around so fast that she fell over because of the rug. I caught her just in time.

"What are you doing, Edward." I loved when she said my name.

"Coming to get you," she didn't look surprised she looked a little agitated.

"You can't, Alice is right outside she is waiting for me to come out, and if you come out with me than-"

"I know just give me a minute." I pulled her into a hug. To my surprise she didn't try to break free, she didn't even move. I kissed her hair, taking in her scent. "I've missed you."

"I know, Edward," she sounded relived.

"Bella?" Alice called.

"Um, yeah?"

"Who are you talking to in there."

"Myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"What did you come in here for anyway?" I asked.

"Oh, um, I was going to try and escape."

"That would have been entertaining. I'm sorry I interrupted." She slapped my arm fully knowing that it wouldn't matter. We stared at each other for a while just enjoying the moment.

I leaned my head down so she could kiss me. Everything was so quiet despite my excellent hearing. I was surprised Alice hadn't barged in and ruined it.

I thought to soon.

Alice jerked the door open. We didn't break the kiss, we couldn't. Alice would have to rip Bella out of my arms to get her. I doubt I would let that happen either, but that was her best bet. It took me a minute to realize Alice had left. Bella broke away to breathe.

"Edward," she whispered.

"Yes?"

"Where is the game."

I laughed at the mention of the silly thing that had started all of this. " I honestly have no idea. I don't even think it left the living room the whole time." She laughed.

"Let's go get it."
