Chapter 12

Bella's Point Of View

Today is the day Edward leaves. I can't really tell if I'm happy or upset. I mean, sure he's vain and won't leave me alone about taking him back and he slept with my best friend, but he's still my first love and now we're kind of friends.

There was a knock on my door just as I expected.

"Hello." I greeted as I opened the door.

"Hello."

"Here to say goodbye?" I asked.

Edward shook his head, "I'm actually here to inform you that my family and I are staying an extra two weeks."

"Ah." I said nonchalantly.

"Well, I should be going now." He murmured.

"Wait. Do you…want to come in? We could talk and catch up." I suggested.

He smiled crookedly and nodded.

We went inside and sat on the sofa.

Emilee toddled out and reached for me. I picked her up and set her in my lap. She buried her face in my hair and peeked out at Edward.

I smiled, "It's okay, Emmy. Edward's nice." I murmured.

She sat up hesitantly, "E-ew-ewwaa-ewwarrddd" she beamed.

I chuckled, "Yep."

"Hi, Emilee." Edward said softly to her.

She giggled and blushed, "Hi."

He smiled crookedly at her and she smiled back. "How old are you?" Edward asked her.

She looked confusedly at her tiny hands and held up one finger, "Dis!" she said happily.

"One?" he asked.

"Yeah! Uhhhnn!" she exclaimed.

"What's your name?" Edward asked her.

"Uhhmmmm….Emmy!" Emilee giggled, pointing to herself.

Edward chuckled, "She's adorable."

I smiled down at Emilee. She squirmed in my lap and I placed her back on her feet. Emilee toddled back into her room.

I looked at Edward and he was looking at me with a strange look on his face.

"What?" I asked, feeling self conscious.

"Alice told me something and for some reason it has been bothering me." He muttered, his forehead creasing.

"What?" I asked suspiciously.

"She told me that Nate was part of the Volturi Royal family."

I nodded, "And?"

"It's true, then?" he asked.

I nodded, "He's Marcus and Didyme's son."

He grimaced, and I thought I was a monster. He thought.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "Why do you have to be so damn judgmental?" I snapped.

"A Volturi, Bella? Really?" he asked skeptically.

"Yes, a Volturi. Does it even matter?"

"Yes, it matters! He's a Volturi! Are you insane!? "

"What are you saying?!" I exclaimed, "My husband is a wonderful man. And the Volturi are not monsters."

"Ha!" he snorted, "Maybe we're thinking of different Volturis but the Volturi I know are bloodsucking monsters."

"Get out!" I screamed at him.

"You can't deny the truth can you?" he asked smugly.

"Why can't you just be happy for me?!" I screamed at him. If I could cry I would, "You leave me and tell me you don't love me anymore so I find someone I love who loves me and you have to be judgmental! I love Nathaniel and he loves me. I'm happy now and you just can't have that, can you? You have to find some flaw and rip apart my marriage." I screamed at him.

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"You just can't stand the fact that I moved on. That I don't need you to be happy." I murmured harshly. I was so busy with my rant that I hadn't noticed Nate come in.

He wrapped his arms around me and let me sob into his chest. "Get out of my house." Nate hissed at Edward, "You've done enough to rip my marriage apart and hurt my wife. Get out and don't come back." He snarled.

Edward stalked off to the door and left.

I clutched him tighter and cried into him. He smoothed my hair and kissed my head, "It's okay, sweetheart. Don't cry, honey."

"He just…and I…" I stuttered.

Nate held me close before pulling me onto the couch. He stroked my hair and whispered reassurances to me. He laid my head in his lap and he caressed my cheek and ran his fingers through my hair.

Shadow and Emilee came out.

"Mommy, what's wong?" Shadow asked.

"Momma sad?" Emilee asked.

I sniffled and sat up out of Nate's lap, "No, I'm okay." I muttered.

Shadow and Emilee came up and hugged me. I kissed them both and then they went back to play in the playroom.

Nate pulled me into his lap and hugged me close. He craned his head to kiss me chastely. I kissed him back and wrapped my arms around his neck and held him close. "I love you so much." I whispered, burying my face in the crook of his neck.

He pulled me closer and mimicked me by burying his face in my hair, breathing in my scent. "I love you, too, Darling."

I stood up and went to fix my hair. I threw it up in a ponytail and walked back out. Shadow and Emilee were sitting with Nate.

"Mommy, do you wanna watch 'Cinderella' with us?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah! Momma, watts 'Cindawewwa' wit us!" Emilee murmured.

Nate smiled, "Yeah, we can't watch 'Cinderella' without you, baby."

I smiled and went to sit on the couch with them. We watched 'Cinderella'.

"How can you stand living with a house full of girls?" I asked Nate.

He shrugged, "You get used to it." He smiled.

"It's not boring to have to watch princess movies all the time?"

He shook his head, "As long as it makes my girls happy, that's all that matters to me."

I hugged him, "You're so sweet."

Nate pulled me tighter against him, "I love you." He murmured before kissing me.

"I love you, too."

The doorbell rang, "I'll get it." Nate murmured, standing up.

Nate's Point Of View

I walked to the door and opened it.

"You have a hell of a lot of nerve to show your face here." I growled.

He said nothing.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"You don't deserve her." Edward said quietly.

"And you do?" I challenged, "No one deserves that woman in there. She's the most caring, loving, sweet, funny, smart, beautiful woman that has ever existed."

"She still loves me." He whispered.

"I know." I muttered.

"Did she know you were one of them when she said yes to your proposal?"

"Yes."

"She never did have great judgment."

"You don't know us." I whispered.

"I know that all of you kill innocent humans and the guard kills innocent vampires."

"The vampires they kill aren't innocent. And we have to kill to survive. You know what that's like."

"No, I don't kill humans."

"I believe you did for ten years."

Edward looked at me incredulously, "She told you." He guessed.

I nodded, "I told you when you got here that I know a lot about you." I reminded him, "And if you're saying vampires who drink human blood are monsters then you're calling Bella one, too."

"Bella wouldn't." he murmured, sure of himself.

"She did. For almost twenty years."

He shook his head, "You're lying."

"I think I know her better than you do." I said.

"I know Bella better than you ever will." He snapped.

"Have you been married to her for almost eighty eight years?" I asked.

Edward shot me a glare.

"Babe, what's taking so long?" Bella asked, coming toward the door. She stopped in her tracks when she saw who was at the door.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She growled.

"Bella, did you ever drink human blood?" Edward asked, ignoring her question.

"Yes." She murmured, confused, "For almost twenty years."

I smirked at him as he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Leave." Bella snapped at him, "After how you insulted my husband and our family I don't want to see you."

"Bella—"

"Go." She hissed.

"No."

"She said leave." I snarled.

He sighed and left.

"What did he say to you?" she asked.

"Nothing." I muttered as I closed the door.

"Nate, he's an asshole, don't listen to anything he says." Bella said, wrapping her arms around me.

"I know."

She pulled me back to the couch. The girls were now watching the new Tinker Bell movie.

Bella and I snuggled on the couch until both she and the girls fell asleep. I carried Emilee and Shadow to their rooms and then went back to pick up Bella.

I cradled her against my chest. I laid her softly on our bed. I didn't want to wake her up so I just put her pajamas on her. I got myself ready and crawled into bed next to her. She rolled over and cuddled into me. I smiled and kissed her head.

It was adorable how it was just a reflex for her to snuggle into me the second I get in bed. And it was a reflex. Whenever I leave for work and I get home in the middle of the night, the second I climb into bed she's in my arms.

"Nate," she murmured in her sleep, "I love you."

I beamed, "I love you, too, my angel."

And with that I fell asleep with the love of my existence in my arms.
