I hope you guys like this chapter, I had fun writing it! T clear some things up, I know Edward was gone for a long ime, it was easier for him because he wasn't as close to Bella, and he wanted to clear his head and think and as we all know, Edward really OVER thinks things. As for the baby, she isn't dead, Really Elizabeth is a very week baby, and has breathing problems, Bella really doesn't want to think about it so it's not mentioned much, but things will get clearer as I progress this story, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE AMAZING REVEIWS! They are so nice, and I like hearing what you want to hear, or what you think of my story, I can't believe I have over a hundred reviews, it makes me so happy!

Chapter 9

Home. I thought that's where I should be going, but I wasn't going anywhere near there, my decision was sudden, I didn't even understand why, I just changed my mind, it was if I was forced, I drove in a direction, that direction was pulling me somehow, I didn't think anything of it.

I just drove, the sky became darker as the rain clouds came closer together, slight drizzling appeared on my windows. I stared out into rain the feeling of emptiness surrounded me, it was weird, that, I felt this way for him, Edward. It felt wonderfully dream like saying his name, I whispered it through my lips, it sounded so beautiful.

I stopped my truck on instinct.

I was in a sort of clearing, the ground was brown and wet from the slight drizzling I stepped out of my truck, the rain was a bit cold but I thought nothing of it. I felt a familiar pull. What did it remind me of? I ran my hands threw my now slightly moist hair. I for one reason or another didn't take the dirt path, I took the opposite direction.

I did all of this in a daze, I sighed while carefully walking, watching my step, not wanting to trip on the wet ground., Puddles were appearing here and there, I stepped in them not noticing, I started walking faster, I felt something, I don't know what it was, then I saw it, I was in a beautiful meadow, on a sunny day, it would have looked gorgeous, on a rainy day, it looked depressing but very comforting.

I studied it. I smiled slightly at the sight, it was amazing, I immediately fell in love with this place. Though the ground was wet, I went to the middle of this meadow and sat down, my back was in the direction I had just came from, sitting crossed legged I pulled my hands behind me. I stared at the sky, once actually liking the way the clouds and the rain felt like.

I was in deep thought when I heard the crack of a twig, I instantly became alert, slowly turning my head back, to see who, or what had made that sound. I gasped. I saw Edward standing there staring at me intently his hair was wet from the rain

"Edward?" I asked. Of course it was him, but I couldn't stop myself from making sure. He nodded still staring at me intently, but there was something else, concern…longing? I didn't know. He then smiled at me cocking his head to the side. He looked adorable. He took a step towards me.

"Mind if I join you?" Edward asked hesitantly, gauging my reaction.

I nodded and looked into his eyes. I wanted to smile, I felt very safe and comforted. I held back my smile as best as I could, managing to blush I looked at him from under my lashes, before I averted my gaze to the wet grass beneath me.

I thought I saw Edward crack a smile. He fluidly sat down next to me, he arm brushed against mine, I tensed as I felt a wave of shock course through me, the type of shock that had me craving for more of his touch. He looked at me confused.

"So." I stated suddenly feeling awkward, there was no way Edward felt anything for me. I felt stupid once again, I was still in too deep, who knew how long it would take for me to untangle from him emotionally. I peeked at him from the corner of my eye, He was looking at me, his brow furrowed as he took me in, I looked down and blushed.

Edward shook his head in disbelief still looking over me. I was aware that I had gotten quite skinny, I was below the normal weight average, for my height and age, my eye's had bags underneath them. I was tired and depressed.

My baby wasn't getting any better I so desperately wanted my Elizabeth to live, she had been in a critical condition since her birth, on rare occasions, would she smile. My face lifted as I remembered the first time I saw her smile.

" What are you thinking about?"

"Smiling" I answered in a daze. I looked at him and smiled. He gazed over at my face memorizing it.

Then He looked me in the eye, he wore a mask of concentration, he placed his hand under my chin and turned my face upward so I was facing his, more closely, his thumb rubbed my cheek.

"Bella" He whispered. "What happened to you?" his breath blew into my face, he looked concerned, and truly interested.

I looked down away from him, his hand dropping from my face.

"Just sad, I guess" I mumbled quietly to the ground, then turned to look at his face. He looked pained.

"Bella…" Edward whispered shaking his head his eyes bore into mine.

My eyes watered up and a lone tear escaped my eye. Edward watched the tear drop, before he swiped it off my face.

He wound his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. My breath hitched as I came in inch before his face

"Don't be sad." He whispered, then slowly and softly his lips met mine, the sensation was breathtaking.

Edwards's lips against mine felt tender and loving I gasped, He pulled away, then grabbed my face in his hands, his thumbs trailing on my cheekbones, and he pulled me closer once again and kissed me. His lips were so tender against mine, he deepened the kiss, arms tightening around my waist I pulled my hands into his hair and pressed myself closer to him.

Once we pulled away arms still wrapped around each other he closed his eyes as he trailed his nose on my jaw line softly, it sent shudders of pleasure through my body, he stopped at my ear "Bella…" he whispered sweetly.

A small smile danced across my lips. I leaned closer his ear "Edward…" I closed my eyes as I said his name. I fell asleep in his arms, to a faint humming, that lulled me deeper into unconsciousness…

OOO

I woke up as I felt myself, laid down on something soft. My eyes opened I was in my room. Edward's face was inches from mine, staring at me sweetly, I felt his hands prying my fingers from his shirt softly. . I was clutching myself to him, unable to let go.

"Bella, you don't expect me to sit here like this, let go of my shirt, I won't leave you" Edward murmured . I blushed and looked down, my fingers letting go of his shirt, he help up my chin with his hand taking in my blush.

"You're absolutely beautiful Isabella Swan, absolutely stunning." Edward said gazing into my eyes as his hand brushed against my cheek.

I unconsciously stopped breathing. Edward smiled "Breath Bella" I took in a large breath of air. I smiled to myself, this was the second time I stopped breathing because of him, today.

I blushed again suddenly realizing Edward was still practically on top of me. He chuckled.

Then Edward was suddenly serious. My brows furrowed. Edward hesitated before speaking.

"Bella, there's something I need to tell you, but I really don't know if I should." Edward said . He looked away and sat up, to my intense surprise, he pulled me into his lap.

I looked into his eyes. "Edward, please, you can trust me." He was hesitant at first, slowly I watched him cave in.

"I'm no good for you Bella, you don't know what a danger I am to you." I was confused by his words. Edward sighed.

"Bella, I'm not normal, I'm…" Edward hesitated. "…different." His eyes were pleading with mine. I was surprised, I knew Edward was different, but how different? "How different?" I whispered quickly.

Edward let out a loud breath.

"I'm not human Bella" Edward murmured as he buried his head into his hands. I sucked in a breath.

He looked back into my eyes, he looked so pained. I reached out to caress his face, but he turned away, I tried hiding the hurt, but couldn't mask it.

I awkwardly place my hands in my lap. Edward looked even more pained, " Bella, I am so sorry, " He gently took my hand and placed it on his cheek. When he let go my hand limply fell back into my lap. His pained expression-if even possible-grew more pained, seeing how hurt I was.

"Bell, please forgive, it was just you were so close…I…I almost lost control." He admitted looking down.

"Lost control of what Edward?" I whispered, worried now. What was going on?

"Bella, I'm a vampire." I let out a surprised gasp. My theory , seemed so real, but he had to be joking, the seriousness of his voice told me otherwise.

"You're joking." I said trying to convince myself he was. He shook his head. I waited for the fear to kick in at his words, I waited and waited, but no, nothing I felt something else though… I smiled,. Edward looked confused

"Bella, do you not understand that I could easily, hurt you? That if by accident, I was too rough with you, I could crush you…and kill you?" He whispered the last part. Was he that strong?

"I.Don't.Care." I stated boring my eyes into his. His stare turn ice cold. "How can you not care if I am a monster" His voice was menacing as he threw his hands up. I tried not to look hurt, a tear flew down my cheek. His expression slightly softened.

"Bella…" he whispered. "I could easily kill you, I am dangerous, I should stay away, but the thought of being away from you, again kills me, I don't think I could ever leave you." He said placing his hand on my cheek.

"I don't want you to leave…Edward, I-I think that, I'm-" I hesitated, I loved him completely was head over heals for him, I stared intensely into his eye, and continued. "I'm in love with you." His eyes light now, I noticed, smoldered into mine,

"You love me" He stated in a whisper. He smiled crookedly.

"Bella, " he said into my ear he murmured it again and again. I felt his lips kiss my ear lobe "I love you, so much more than you could ever understand I would give anything up for you. You are the love of my Existence."

My heart beet rapidly, a smile lit up my face, as Edward crashed his lips to mine, this kiss was different from the others, there was urgency and passion in this kiss. To my displeasure, he pulled away too soon, my head was still titled up ,my lips still parted. He placed his hand on my cheek.

"Now I presume you have some questions." Edward said in his velvet soft voice. I did, I had many, but now wasn't the time. I lay back down on my bed, I pulled him with me.

"Will you please stay?" I asked, my eye's drooping heavily, as I fought to stay awake.

"Of course, we'll save your questions for tomorrow, love, you should sleep. " He kissed me sweetly

"G'night" I murmured falling deeper into sleep.

"Good night my angel. I love you." I smiled.

OOO

Alice Pov

I sat on the love seat with jasper, the rest of our family surrounding us. I was giddy. I had to tell everyone about what I saw. In the corner of my eyes I saw Jasper smiling a wide smile I was confused as to why?

"You know Alice," Jasper murmured his grin still on his face, making him talk weird, I was most defiantly confused.

"I would appreciate, knowing why, I am absolutely giddy with excitement." I shook my head, why would he care, he could easily make me feel something else, it didn't' make sense for him to complain.

I was about to point his out to him, but he cut me off. "Alice, I am too overexcited. I cannot concentrate on being empathic at the moment, so please think of something less giddy then what you have on your mind right now, I would like to feel my own emotions as best as I can." I bit my lip.

I couldn't think of anything else, it was lodged into my brain. I grumbled, I felt bad, I was making Japer uncomfortable. " Don't feel bad." Jasper said gazing into my eyes smiling. I smiled back. "AHEM" I heard Emmet clearing his throat. I rolled my eyes.

"Can we please get this over with Alice, I'm busy." He said glancing at Rose. Rose not wanting to draw attention to their situation a minute ago, didn't look at Emmet. I sighed.

"Well, I am happy to say, Bella knows our secret" I said., this made things a whole lo easier between her and Edward, they would be closer. I knew it would help, thank god, she knew. It was as if a weight was lifted from my shoulders.

I saw a flash of rage in Rose's eye's "And Alice tell me, how in the world did she figure it out?" grinding her teeth together, obviously she was ticked. I shifted on my feet uncomfortable.

"He told her didn't he!" Rosalie growled.

"How could he do this, uprooting our family like this! That human girl, can't be trusted! She will ruin us!" Rose said stomping off, Emmet followed her.

"We can trust her Rose, she won't tell." I said quietly I should have expected this from Rosalie. My vision was tuning out the scene in front of me as it focused on something else

my eye's glazed over…

I saw Edward running somewhere, he was frantic, he was searching. For what or who I didn't know. I saw Edward tense, as rage over powered him, his face became menacing, he ran toward somewhere…

The date and time of the vision was set about a year into the future, I hoped this wouldn't happen, Edward didn't seem happy at all, and I felt as if something horrible had happened , making Edward react like he did…

I looked at Jasper, sensing my distress he pulled me close to him. He placed his hand on the back of my neck and rubbed soothing circle into my skin.

Edward's Pov

I watched as Bella slept peacefully. She was so beautiful. I felt dawn coming, the sun was in the sky for now, but with my eye's I saw that, some clouds were being blown into our general area.

Today was Monday, I didn't understand why I had to endear the last week of school, but the thought that Bella was going to be there with me, didn't make it as bothersome as it would have been.

I waited an hour or so, before I ran home to change quickly. The tension of the house hit me at full blast as I approached.

I decided to sneak, in very quietly so my family wouldn't hear, I didn't want to explain myself at the moment even though everyone knew I had told Bella.(A/N in my opinion I think Vampires can sneak, just like humans I mean, We sneak around quietly, so Edward is being extremely quiet , I think it makes sense, and as for the smell their thoughts are really occupied at the moment so they don't notice.)

After I grabbed a shirt, I ran back to Bella's home, I decided I would change my shirt at her house, I didn't want my family to notice I was there.

I saw Bella was still asleep, when I entered her room. Her hair had covered her face, I moved it out of the way wanting to see her beautiful face, so soft, I thought as my hand brushed up against her cheek.

Bella Pov

I felt a cold sensation on my cheek it stayed there for a moment before leaving my skin. I opened my eyes, they widened at the sight in front of me.

Edward was taking off his shirt, I saw another held in his hand. Edward was very muscular, and beautiful, I tried to stop my ogling, but I couldn't tear my eyes away, He was too beautiful, I felt my heart speed up. I cursed myself I had a feeling he could hear it.

I was right, just that second he looked at me, still shirtless. He smiled. I blushed fiercely. He smiled wider, clearly amused, I however, was very, embarrassed.

I saw him walk toward me. "Bella, why are you blushing?" I tried to say something coherent, but it was impossible, he lay very close to me, head propped up by his hand.

"You know why." I finally managed to mumble quietly, looking at my hands.

He pulled my face between his hands and kissed me, my hands rested on his chest as I gave in to the kiss. When he pulled away, I closed my eye's instantly, somehow, when ever my eye's were opened they traveled to Edwards exposed chest on there own accord, he chuckled. I felt the weight on my bed lift.

"Bella, you can open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes, still embarrassed. He chuckled. Thankfully, he had a new shirt on.

Edward shook his head still smiling "Bella, why on earth are you embarrassed." He pulled me out of bed, and wound his arm around my waist facing me towards him. I sighed, even more embarrassed.

He leaned closer and whispered "Bella there's nothing to be embarrassed about, now I think we should stop delaying school, why don't you get ready I will meet you downstairs."

"Okay." I said sighing giving him a quick peck on the lips. Hesitating I asked "You will be there? Downstairs?" I asked I didn't want him leaving. He nodded and left my room. I grabbed my toiletries and went into the bathroom, I stepped into the shower, the warm water, felt hot against my skin, turning it red but I really did care. I thought back to the previous night.

There were no secrets between us. Well I wasn't sure about that, I had no idea if Edward knew about what happened with me, back in Phoenix, I promised myself if he was to ask I would tell him everything. I tried hurrying up my shower; I had al lot to ask Edward, for example, how was Edward able to come out into the sun?

I Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I really like writing it, and it's my longest yet, I know you probably seen longer chapter's but I am glad I wrote more than I normally did for this chapter, it's sort of an accomplishment for me! I hope nothing was rushed I read over it three times, or maube even more, checking it, I seemed like it wasn't rushed to me but tell me what you think, and YAY! I played around with different POV's this chapter… Thank you for reading!

AN: To explain something, Edward followed Bella because there was another vampire in the woods, that's why Bella was being pulled there, Edward didn't want to worry her, so he didn't mention anything in this chapter, but it will be explained.

I want to know something, Since Corey doesn't know about the baby, I want to put him in the story more, I want him to figure it out, so I am think maybe I should write something in his Point Of View, Tell me if you think that's a good Idea!

Please Review!
