Chapter Four

Bella Point Of View

I loved running, it made me feel so happy and free, like no one and nothing could get to me. Running with Edward was even better. We were in the lead and I was almost as fast as him ( I could tell he was shocked by that but I guess if you take away the clumsiness I was actually quite fast as a human, who knew ) so it was only a few minutes before we reached the Cullen house.

"What happened, is everything OK?" Carlisle asked panicky with a worried looking Esme standing by his side. They both gasped in shock when they saw me. Their eyes simultaneously strayed to mine and Edwards hands before they broke into a smile.

"Oh Bella dear, how we've missed you.: Esme said pulling me into a tight hug.

"I missed you to." I replied emotionally. Then Carlisle stepped up and hugged me as if I were his own daughter.

"Ah Bella It's good to have you back, and alive!!" He exclaimed while I gave a nervous chuckle.

"Why don't we have a seat?" Esme again. We all nodded and made our say to the couches. Esme, Carlisle, Jasper with Alice on his lap sat on one, Rosa, Emmett, Carmen and Max on the next which left Lizz, Edward and I on the third couch.

"So Bella, tell us how this.. happened to you." Carlisle started nervously, obviously noticing the difference between his son and my daughter.

"Well, about a month after you left I found out that I was pregnant.." I trailed off. Everyone looked at Edward and I, and than at Elizabeth.

"But, does that mean that.. how?" Esme stuttered.

"Yes that's right," I turned to Edward who was looking at me intensely, "She's yours" I concluded looking at Lizz who huffed while I shot her a look that said ' stop being so rude or your grounded'. Everyone's eyes were now trained on Lizz.

"Well I didn't see that coming." Said Jasper quietly and I couldn't help but laugh

"So, continuing," Carlisle asked after a few minutes had passed and that blow of news had settled in.

"So I found out that I was pregnant but everything was happening so fast, she was growing so quickly. I knew I would need help so I set of to find some other vampires, I figured that this must have happened some were before. After a few weeks I found these guys, they took me in and helped with the birth. After she was born they changed me." I didn't feel the need to tell them how much of a mess I was after they left, how depressed I was, they didn't need to be guilty. I wasn't going to tell them about the damage that Lizz caused to my body when I was pregnant, but then Carlisle asked. "Why did you bite her, I mean was it necessary?" He didn't mean it in a rude was, he was simply curious. Someone must have thought about it because Edward gasped. "Lizz broke her bones because of the speed she was growing and she was so big and restless, "Ben chuckled "She ended up having to rip her way out of Bella after about the three month mark." No more amusement was in his voice. Shock was on all the Cullen's face's as they heard this.

"We never should have left, we left you to face that alone…" Edward mumbled.

" I wasn't what you wanted, you didn't have to stay- you didn't need to be forced" I mumbled back, the hole in my chest starting to re-appear. My head snapped up to the gasps coming from all the Cullen's and the shocked looks on all their faces, all but Edward.

"Edward, what did you tell her!" Emmett gasped.

I was completely confused now. "I told her I didn't want her, that I didn't love her anymore." He muttered even quieter. This was followed by another round of gasps from the Cullen's and even more confusion on my part. Suddenly, Emmett and Alice were on their feet.

"What!" They shouted in unison, they looked so angry.

"I didn't know how else I would get her to let me go." Edward mumbles, hanging his head.

"Edward what is wrong with you! It's bad enough that you left, you made us leave but you lied! How could –" Alice rambled but I cut her off.

"Lied? "

"Yes Bella, lied. You thought we left because we didn't LOVE you. No silly, my stupid brother over there thought-"

"Alice maybe I should explain." Edward said cutting her off again

She nodded and then walked off complaining about how nobody ever left her speak and how she wasn't respected, earning a few chuckled from the living room. I looked up at Edward ( Noticing that it doesn't hurt to say his name anymore ) and he smiled back at me with nothing but regret in his eyes. Did he regret my being here? He stood up and offered me his hand, which I took cautiously, and walked me upstairs to his bedroom. Once we entered I went and sat down on the leather couch – the room looked exactly the same – and Edward followed sitting next to me and proceeded to curl me up on his lap, again burying his face in my hair and breathing in my scent. Why was he doing this if he didn't love me? But maybe he did love … no don't let yourself hope silly.

"Edward what's going on?"

He sighed and held me tighter. "Bella you have to know, when I left, I didn't know what I was leaving you to deal with, I thought you could be safe and that you wouldn't have to end up like….this" He gestured to my new body but couldn't help the faint smile that presented itself on his lips. That confused me even more. "Bella, my family didn't leave by their own free will, I forced them to leave because I thought that without vampires in your life you could be safe and happy and live a normal human life. I didn't leave because I don't want you. I left for your safety. How could you believe that I didn't love YOU? After all the times I told you I loved you my silly beautiful Bella?" He smiled at me but my face was frozen in a mask of shock. "Oh" was all I could reply.

"Bella tell me, please, do you think there is anyway you can forgive me, anyway you could take me back?"

He whispered desperately. This made my head snap around in shock. "Take you back?" I exclaimed while pain crossed his face. "Edward, now who's silly, I never stopped loving you, no matter how much time passed by. And there is nothing to forgive, you did what you thought was right." I said touching his cheek in wonder. In response to either my words or my actions his face lit up and that breathtaking smile reappeared on his face. He took my face in both of his hands, stroking my cheek with his thumb, and then crushed his lips to mine. This action took me completely by surprise, but after the sock wore off I kissed him back with as much passion that I could muster. The kiss was different than others. It went longer as neither of is needed to breathe and it was more passionate than ever before, the kind that never used to happen because it was to dangerous.

"Marry me." He murmured as he rested his fore head against my own. I froze in shock. "What?"

"Marry me." He repeated emotionally. My head was spinning, what a rapid change today had been. From thinking about the Cullen's and having to hold myself together. Now my love was here proposing to me and holding me together for me, not that it was the needed, the hole was nowhere to be found. "Yes" was all I could whisper back. I didn't want to ruin the moment by sobbing.

"Really!" I could tell that he was excited. "Of course!" I proclaimed. We leaned in to kiss again but were ripped apart by a screaming Alice.

"Yay! Finally, took you to long enough! And engaged you'll finally be me sister, I mean more so like technically. Oh can I plan the wedding please!!" Just then her eyes blanked over and I looked over at Edward, who was smiling like a blind man who had just regained his sight.

"Oh thankyou Bella!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!"

"For?" Again I was confused.

"For letting me plan the wedding oh it will be great – "again she was cut of by Lizz appearing at the doorway with the hint of a smile on her pretty face. I knew she held a grudge against the Cullen's for leaving but obviously everything had been explained to her or she had just overheard the conversation Edward and I had had. "You're getting married?" she said. The smiles on her face growing. Alice didn't look happy to have been interrupted again; Elizabeth slowly started to walk into the room until she was in front of me and Edward. And then she did something that I really had not expected but at the same time made my heart swell with joy. She leaned down and hugged her dad, who returned the embrace enthusiastically.

"So you're my dad." She chuckled nervously as she pulled away, their bronze hair mixing.

"Yer I guess, we didn't know it was possible.." He trailed off looking at her in wonder. "So tell me about yourself, I assume that your full vampire now?" He smiled sheepishly at her.

"Yer, I used to have a heart beat and blood but I had brown eyes, was really fast and strong, I could sleep and live off human food or blood. I also got thirsty. When I was 7 I was physically a seventeen year old. That's when I became a full vampire."

"Amazing, absolutely amazing." I heard Carlisle mutter, trust him to see the scientific side of this.

The next few hours the Cullen's spent getting to know me and Lizz again. She was so excited to finally meet her family.

OK I need help The next chapter will be about the wedding but I dont know if I should stop after that or keep going. If I do keep going what should happen - honestly. Love Sarah
