This mini moment is definetely for Sheena.. It was kinda all her idea and I didn't think it had a good place in the story, but it would make one heck of a small moment between Bella and Edward.

I don't own any Twilight characters, I barley even own the idea for this (= lol

Mini Moments .. Two

The tape .. Edward

I pulled up to Bellas house to pick her up and take her to the police station. I sat in the car for a minute trying to breath normally. I still couldn't understand why Bella wanted to do this, but it was ultimately her decision, and if it's what she wanted, I had to allow it. Maybe it's what she needed. Maybe she'd sleep better at night. Her bruises had finally healed, now I needed her head to too. I looked up and saw her looking down from her window, so I got out of the car, smiled up at her and walked to the door.

I walked straight in and saw her coming down the stairs. She came over to me and gave me a hug. I held her for a moment before leaning down to kiss her. She wrapped her arms up around me and held tight.

When I finally pulled away, I kept my hold on her. "Bella, are you sure you're ready for this. You don't have to you know. I could call Charlie and tell him you've changed your mind. I don't want you to hurt anymore." She looked up at me and tried to smile.

"No, I need to do this Edward. Maybe if I can see some kind of sorrow or apology in his eyes or his voice, I'll be OK." She pulled away from me and went over to the couch to grab her bag.

I still wasn't so sure about this. Carlisle said seeing the video could go either way. She could have a good reaction towards it, and finally get over all this. Or it could just bring it all back and make everything worse. Who gets better after an attack? He attacked her and left marks on her. She had to spend the night unconscious in a hospital bed, on Christmas Eve because of this guy. No one in their right mind moves past that. Carlisle and Charlie keep telling me it could have been a lot worse, but I refuse to think of it that way. If it would have been any worse, I wouldn't be here to help Bella through this. I'd be next to Jacob in a jail cell for attempted murder. Or if I was lucky, he'd just be dead.

I needed him to not hurt her anymore. And even though he's bound to La Push til Bella says otherwise, I still worry. It's not like there's a gate around La Push keeping him in. He can leave whenever he wants, and the only reason for him to leave that reservation is to come after Bella. I won't let that happen again.

I walked Bella out to the car and opened the door for her. When I got in the car she was staring out the window, not really focusing on anything. I started the car and backed out, then started heading toward the police station. I held her hand all the way there, reassuring her it was all going to be OK.

When we pulled up, I leaned over the center and held both her hands. "Are you positive Bella. I don't want any of this to get worse. I want it to get better and just go away. Is this going to make it go away, and not just make it harder on you?" She hesitated, but after a couple seconds, she smiled and leaned over, closing the small gap between us. When her lips touched mine, I was reassured of everything. I knew that if she said she was going to make her better, it would. I had to trust her.

We finally pulled away and I got out, then helped her out. We walked through the front door to the small police station and Bella headed straight back to her dads office. No one stopped her. They all knew who we were and why we were here, so there was really no point. We walked into the office and she sat down.

"I'll go get your dad OK?" As I got up to leave, Esme and Carlisle walked in. Esme went right over to Bella and held her hand.

I went down the hall way to the back office, where I figured Charlie would be. I knocked on the open door, grabbing Deputy Marks attention, then Charlie's. Charlie grabbed the tape off the desk and shook it a little in front of me.

"Edward, are you sure she's ready for this?" Charlie turned to head of out the office and I shrugged.

"She said she was. I tried talking her out of it, but she wouldn't let me. She said she wanted to hear his side of the story." I walked up to the door to the room Bella was waiting in and knocked lightly before entering. When I walked in, I saw Bella in Esme's arms. Esme saw me and Charlie and stepped aside, allowing me to take Bella. I walked her over to the chair infront of the TV on the desk and sat her down. Charlie put the tape in but before he pressed play he turned to look at Bella.

"You ready Bella?" He sat down on the desk and she nodded.

"Ready as I'll ever be." She grabbed ahold of my hand and Charlie pressed play.

At first all we saw was an empty seat and a couple people talking in the background. They don't usually tape these sort of things, but since it was the chiefs daughter and she hadn't made her mind up as to weather she was going to press charges or not, they taped it for future reference. When Jacob came into the picture and sat in the chair at one end of the table, Bella stiffened a little. She hadn't seen or heard from him since that night.

"Alright, Mr. Black, I'm going to need you to tell me exactly what happened that night at the Swan's house. Keep in mind we have a full report from Miss Swan herself, and misrepresentation will land you right back in your jail cell for another night."

I heard Bella let out a slight giggle at Deputy Marks show of favoritism. He had known Bella since he become Charlies Deputy nine years ago. Charlie didn't have any brothers or sisters, so Mark came pretty close to an 'uncle' Bella would otherwise never have.

"If she told you what happened, why do I need to repeat it?" Jacob slouched back in his seat with complete disrespect.

"if you'd like I can just go get her father, Chief Swan, and you can speak with him. I have a good feeling he won't be able to keep his ass planted in this seat while you seat over there in complete disobedience. Now, would you like to have another go at that question?"

Jacob sat up in his seat and crossed his arms over the table.

"OK, fine. I went over there after she called me and told me she wanted to talk. When we got in the house I got a little upset and grabbed her. I didn't mean to grab her that hard, I just wanted to keep her there so I could finish talking to her." Jacob was quickly trying to defend himself, but I wasn't buying it.

"OK, I have a report here from Dr. Cullen explaining everything that happened to Isabella." When he slid the paper across the table, Jacob quickly grabbed it up and started reading it. "It explains the stitches that needed to be put in her head, four to be exact. The bruises on both of her arms are all clearly in a hand print. She was unconscious for almost twenty-four hours and in a hospital, on Christmas Eve and Christmas for thirty six hours. Do you have any idea what that did to her and her family?"

"No, I don't." He slammed the paper back down on the desk and sat back again. "I said I was sorry, and I would apologize to her in person if someone would let me. How was I supposed to know she'd land in the hospital."

I was getting more and more angry listening to this worthless guy talk. How do you not know you're hurting someone?

"Mr. Black, I'm pretty sure no one around Bella is going to let you within a hundred feet of her person. So you might as well tell me everything."

"I said I didn't know I was hurting her that bad. When I threw her back I didn't know she'd hit the desk I just wanted to get to the door and stop whoever was coming in. Do you just let people get away with breaking into other peoples houses?"

"Those people you were trying to keep out were the Cullen boys. They've known the Swan family for over eighteen years, what makes you think they were breaking in?" That just pissed me off even more. I knew the possibility of this effecting Bella, but me? I didn't know I'd be the one to get mad.

"They broke in her room. I'm sure there's proof of that somewhere."

"They weren't breaking in." He pulled another paper out of the folder and put it in the middle of the table. "Here's a statement from Isabella saying they were there to help her. That you locked the door to keep them out. It also says here that when you were yelling at her, she told you to stop. She asked you to leave repeatedly and you, obviously, never did. How many times did she ask you to leave Mr. Black?"

"I don't know. I was trying to talk to her. She said she wanted to talk to me, so that's what I was trying to do."

"That's a load of crap, it says here she asked you to leave numerous times, and yet you were still there, upstairs in her room, with the door locked when the Cullen boys arrived. It also says here, it took her two full weeks for her to remember anything. Must have been when you threw her backwards, which, you admitted to right? I just have to verify that for the records." In the tape, Deputy Mark was smiling and Jacob squirmed, clearly not meaning to admit to anything.

"Yes, I threw her back, but like I said it was an accident."

"There are no accidents when it comes to harming a human being the way you did. You did it on purpose, all the marks show it. And if it was all an accident, how come when the boys came through the door you didn't make any attempt to stop them?"

"How am I supposed to stop two boys coming after me? One of which is bigger than myself."

"Well, if it were me and I saw a boy bigger than myself coming after me, I'd give up before the first hit. But you didn't. Do I need to read more of this report or are you just going to give me a play by play of what happened?"

"What more do I need to say. I told you, I went to her house and we were talking."

"Did she invite you in the house?"

"Yes, she did."

"OK, well here it says you asked her if you two could go inside cause you were a bit under the weather. Is that true, or were you just trying to get her in the house where she couldn't run Jacob?"

"I was fine, I just wanted to go inside. I didn't do it because she'd be trapped, I did it cause I didn't want to have a discussion infront of her neighbors."

"So you knew what you were going there for, and you were worried about the nieghbors? Afraid they might see you yelling at the Chiefs daughter?"

Jacob was visibly getting upset now and I looked over to Bella to make sure she was OK.

"OK, fine. I went there with the intention of making her get back together with me. She just dumped me for no good reason, and picked up Cullen. I am telling the truth when I say I didn't mean to hurt her that bad. I wanted to scare her, but not harm her. She needed to see I was the better guy for her. That Cullen can't give her what I can. She needed to see she'd be better off with me, but she wouldn't listen. So I got angry, and I grabbed her. When she ran from me I got pissed and ran after her. When I got a door slammed in my face I got even more pissed off and broke in her room with my dads credit card from my pocket. Then she told me she called Edward and I wanted to scream at her. But I didn't. I heard them come to the door and try and get in so I threw her backwards and went to the door to stop them. I didn't need any more distractions and that's all they were there to offer. If she wouldn't have run, everything would have went perfectly fine."

"As exciting as that little speech was. You're still in trouble. Isabella has been given the opportunity to press charges, and when she does you'll be locked up for a while. There ain't nothing you'll be able to say to get you out of that one. And when you say that you're better for her than Mr. Cullen, do you think he throws her against walls and bruises her? Huh? Do you think he locks her in a room and throws her against hard objects, being the reason behind hospital visits and stitches, pain medication and weeks of having no idea what went on? I have a paper here that you must sign saying you are pretty much under house arrest in La Push. You are not to leave the reservation until further notice, and even then you will be put under surveillance. You can't go around abusing woman and get away with. Just to let you know. Now we're releasing you to the custody of your father, Billy, but one more slip up from you, and your ass is right back in that cell, you hear me?"

Jacob nodded and Charlie got up to turn the tape off. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but when I looked over at Bella, tears were coming from her eyes. I squatted infront of her and gently grabbed her shoulders, then wiped the tears from her eyes. Esme put a hand on her shoulder and Carlisle stood behind her incase she needed anything.

When she stopped crying she stood up and ran straight into my arms.

"I love you Edward. I love you more than anything. Please tell me that'll never happen again." She looked up at me and I saw her bloodshot, chocolate eyes watering.

"I promise Bella." I brought my hands up her back and then behind her head. I pressed my forehead to hers and kissed her nose. "I promise, nothing like that will ever happen to you again. I love you too, and I'll be here to protect you no matter what."

She had a little talk with her father and Mark, then we were free to leave the station. I took her home and helped her make dinner.

When she sat down at the table she reached for my hand and I brought hers to my hand and kissed it. "I love you Bella."

"I love you too Edward." She smiled and I felt right. I knew I'd be here to protect her forever. Weather she needed it or not, I'd be right here. Keeping her from anything and everything that wanted to hurt her.

I looked at her and smiled. "You are my life now."

Ok, So I didn't want to make Jacob TOOOO crazy, just a little crazy. lol. But I hope I did good Sheena (=

And I just want to set it straight. Billy and Charlie, are NOT friends. When I say Charlie's gone fishing in the story, he's with Deputy Mark, or someone else from that station (=
