EPOV:

I had finally got her back. My Bella. She was here, right next to me. My love. My home. My life. Mine. The promise we had made to each other the last time we had seen each other, that was two years ago now and she still remembered. She promised to come back to me and she had.

I remember the day I found out she was gone. Over eight years ago now. Charlie came over to our house distraught. He just kept saying "She's gone, she's gone. She took my baby girl away from me." Carlisle and Esme spoke to him before telling me Renee, Bella's mother, had taken Bella with her to live in Italy. I was so angry at first but then I got a letter from my Bella a month later. After reading the letter I showed it to Charlie and my family and we got through the months she was gone. She would visit once a year and each time she came back she would be different, whether her beauty or her now fluent accent I actually thought she was Italian. The last time she was here was two years ago. She had changed so much since then but she was still beautiful, my Italian Beauty.

*flashback*

We had got away from the rest of the family and were lying in our meadow facing one another. "Il mio Bella. Il mio amore. Non lasci questo volta. Soggiorno. Per favore." *My Bella. My love. Don't leave me. Stay. Please* I said trying to remember the words I had memorized for when I saw her again. Bella gasped before looking up at me. "You learnt Italian for me?" She said her eyes sparkling. "Si" I said uncertainly. What she did next I was definitely not expecting. Bella grabbed my face and attacked my lips with hers. That farewell was the hardest one knowing that we both loved one another. "Ritornato a me il mio amore." *Come back to me my love* I pleaded her at the airport. She simply smiled and kissed me sweetly before boarding her plane. That was the last time I saw her. All those years she had been taken from me and now I finally had her back. I wasn't going to let her go. Ever.

I looked over at my Bella and realized we were now outside my house. "Welcome home." I whispered before leaning in towards her bringing our faces closer. I pressed my lips softly to hers but she didn't want a sweet kiss as she deepened it and the kiss became fiercer.

We pulled apart gasping for air. "Come on." She whispered before pushing me away to get out of the car. I ran to get her door but she was already getting out.

"Bella" I scolded wrapping my arm around her waist.

"You have to be quicker than that Romeo." She laughed as we walked up the stairs.

"Mom! Dad! Company!" I called out when we walked in.

"Edward I told you to warn m…" My mother said walking out from the kitchen mixing something. "BELLA!" She squealed; yes my mother squealed; when she saw Bella smiling at her next to me. Bella walked forward to my mother and mom put the bowl down before she pulled Bella into a tight embrace. They took a step away from each other and Esme gave Bella a once over. "Bello." *beautiful* she murmured quietly. "You are far too thin dearest Bella. Aren't Italians supposed to be the best cooks?" Mom said seriously.

Bella laughed, god how I've missed her laugh. "Well no one can top your cooking Esme." Bella said with her accent.

"Bella is that you?" Dad said walking into the room.

"Ciao Carlisle." *Hello Carlisle* She practically sang as he walked up and embraced her.

"How are you Bella?" He asked holding her at arms distance. Bella took a step back and turned around showing herself off for us all to see.

"Perfetto." *Perfect.* She smiled before walking back into my waiting arms. She kissed me sweetly but pulled away when it started to get heated. "più successivamente il mio amore." *Later my love.* She promised.

"Bella how about we call Charlie and invite you both over for dinner tonight? I know everyone will be dying to see you." Esme said smiling warmly at us.

"Sounds great Esme. Thank you." Bella murmured, sinking into my chest.

"It's my pleasure Bella. Now why don't you two go out for a few hours and we'll have dinner planned for seven." Esme said picking up her mixing bowl again. I just laughed and led Bella up to my room.

Neither of us said anything as we walked into my room and memories of the last time we were in here flooded our thoughts. It was just after we came back from the meadow that day.

*flashback*

I couldn't get us home fast enough and Bella was making it incredibly difficult for me to focus on driving and not the sensation of her lips kissing up my neck. I lost complete control when she started whispering to me in Italian and nibbling on my earlobe. I hit it and we made it back in record time. I was thankful no one was home and that we had the place to ourselves for the night. As soon as we were in the confines of my room, my hands were all over her as she latched her legs around my waist and I pushed her up against the wall.

"Bella" I moaned rather loudly.

"Sono il vostro Edward. Soltanto il vostro."*I'm yours Edward. Only yours.* She murmured in Italian. God she was perfect. She giggled when I lowered us down on the bed only to attack my lips when she saw the love in my eyes. Our clothes were soon gone as we proved our love to one another.

Snapping back to the present time I saw my beautiful Bella sitting across my bed giving me a knowing look.

Beautiful yet deadly. Minx. Fox. Seductress. Temptress. No matter how I described her it still led to one thing. She was mine. Just as I was hers.

"I missed you." She said quietly.

I lied down next to her, pulling her down with me as I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, hers around my waist. "I know. I missed you too. So much." I kissed her sweetly and soon found myself hovering above her, my shirt and her dress removed already. "Siete così bei." *You are so beautiful.* I murmured softly, looking down at my beautiful Bella. She smiled at me, literally glowing when she heard me speaking in Italian for her. She reached up and grabbed hold of me, pulling me back down to her. Our kissing was passionate and filled with desire. We continued kissing until we heard the distinct sound of Emmett's booming voice.

"BELLA!" We heard him shout out excitedly. "YOU TWO BETTER BE DECENT CAUSE I'M COMING UP!" He shouted and sure enough we could hear his footsteps as he ran up the stairs. Bella and I just laughed until we realized that we weren't in fact decent. Bella snatched up her pink coat and quickly put it on, covering as much as was possible, while I pulled my shirt back on over my head just as Emmett bounded into the room. "BELLS!" He shouted and swooped her up into a huge bear hug while she just laughed at him and attempted to keep herself covered up. Emmett seemed to catch on when I ran my hand through my messed up hair and Bella altered her coat. "Ohhhhhhh…" He smirked and Bella blushed dramatically as she moved to pick her dress up off the floor next to the bed.

"L'oh mio dio!" *Oh my god* Bella breathed out embarrassed as she struggled to get away from Emmett and avoid my gaze as she moved out of my room into my ensuite to fix herself up.

I fell back on my bed with the biggest grin on my face. I had my Bella back. "Eddie boy has his Bella back." Emmett trilled out as he jumped on the bed bouncing next to me. I didn't even mind that he used that stupid nickname I hate. He seemed to notice as he knocked my shoulder playfully which knocked me off the bed. Both of us were cracking up laughing when my beautiful Bella walked back into the room.
