Thanks for all the reveiws. I like to hear what people think of my stories. here is the next chapter,hope you like it.
Enjoy.

Bellas POV

I knew that we needed to talk, and I knew there were questions that needed to be answered on both sides, but I couldn't bring myself to start the conversation. And by the look on Edwards face, neither could he.

I took one deep breath and asked the one question that I knew would lead into a big discussion later.

"Edward. Do you still love me?" I asked him. He was looking at his legs before I asked the question, but now I had said it, he looked right at me.

"Of course I still love you. I never stopped loving you. You know that." he told me in a sceptical voice.

"Then why did you leave?" I asked him calmly. The only person who I had talked about this with was Jasper, and he blamed himself for everyone leaving, but I wanted to know why Edward had to leave.

Edward sighed before he answered.

"After what happened at your 18th party with Jasper, it just made me think about how dangerous it was going to be for you to be around me and my family. I wanted you in my life, and couldn't risk a repeat of your party every time you drew blood. Which lets face it, would be quite often knowing you." he smiled as he finished his speech.

"Listen, what happened at my party was my fault. I should have been more carful. I was in a house full of vampires fro crying out loud, I should have known something was going to happen. You can not blame your self for my…Bellaness" I laughed at my word. I saw Edward laugh as well.

"Edward, I can take care of myself, I'm not the same person that you left I folks. Well, technically I am, but I'm not as vulnerable, I don't need someone looking out for me all the time" I didn't have time to think, before Edward had brought me back onto his lap.

"What if I want to be the one looking out for you?" he whispered in my ear. He kissed my neck before looking at me again.

"Then I'm not going to stop you. But, you have to be a little less protective of me, I'm not 18 anymore, I can look after myself."

"And Naomi. Can I be overly protective of my daughter?" He asked.

"Now that you can do. She's only 5 after all." I told him

He kissed me again. I forgot how much I loved to kiss him. I could have quite happily stayed here all day kissing him. Nothing about this had changed, but then a realised that it had.

He was forever going to be 17 and I was in my early 20's now. My dream of staying young forever were gone.

I pulled away from the kiss.

"Oh my god, I'm going to be 24 in a few weeks!" I said to myself. Well I thought I said it to myself.

"And?" Edward asked me, slightly confused by my sudden outburst.

"Well, if we are going to do this again, then there is going to be a noticeable age difference between us. I mean your 17, I'm 24. Oh my god I'm 25 next year." I sank back into the sofa as I realised how large the age gap now was.

"Bella, I'm not over 100 years old" he said I knew that, but no one else did. To anyone outside of his house and my place, he was a 17 year old boy.

"Yes, I know that, but no one else does." I said.

"Does it really matter. Do you love me?" he asked me

I was a little taken aback by his question. He knew that I loved him, and I knew that he loved me. I could see the point of his question now. If we loved each other then I shouldn't care what people are going to think.

"Yes, of course I love you. and now I've thought about it, I don't care what people will think. I love you and you love me and that's all that really matters." I told him.

He leant in to kiss me again, but I leant away.

"But if we are going to do this again, you can never leave me again. I may not be so forgiving if you do that to me again. I cant tell Naomi about you and then one day you are gone, that isn't fair on her." I tried to sound stern, but I knew I didn't sound that way.

"Bella. I promise you that I will never leave you or Naomi again. Do you know how hard it has been for me the last 5 years. It took everything I had not to come looking for you, but I believed that you would be better off if I wasn't in your life" he told me.

I was fed up of talking now. I knew that he loved me and his sincere promise that he would never leave me again, proved to me that he meant it.

I leant forward and kissed him again. This kiss was full of passion, from both of us. I knew from the way that he kissed me that this was going to last.

Alice's POV

Back at the Cullen's House.

Me and Jasper were sitting on the sofa watching a movie. We were watching Bridget Jones' Diary. It was on my favourite part, when she has just come back from her romantic mini break with her boss, and she is going to a garden party dressed as a sexy bunny, and when she gets there, everyone else is wearing posh summer dresses. It always made me laugh, even though I had seen it so many times before.

Just as it got to the part that made me laugh, I had a vision.

Edward and Bella were in Bella's living room talking. I really wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. And then they were kissing. Oh my god, were they getting back together. I saw the look on Edward's face when they finally broke apart, he had a huge smile across his face. I hadn't seen him look like that in over 5 years, they must be getting back together. And then the vision ended.

I looked up to see Jasper looking at me.

"Alice, what did you see." He asked me. He Always worried when I had visions lately.

I put a he grin on my face to show him that everything was fine. I'm sure I didn't need to do that though, he could probably feel how happy I was.

"AHHHHHHHHH. Jasper Hale, I love you." I screamed at him and leaped onto his lap and kissed him full on the lips. He kissed me back like I knew he would.

I pulled away and went to grab my cell phone, I needed to scream at someone else. I left Jasper slightly confused sitting on the other end of the sofa.

"Love you too Alice, but did you need to scream in my ear." He asked

"No, I didn't need to but I'm just so happy. Edward and Bella are back together." I told him still smiling.

He laughed.

"Are you honestly surprised. Even I knew they would get back together sooner or later. When I talked to her the day she came here, she told me that she still loved him, so it was only a matter of time before something happened between them again." He told me.

I picked up my cell phone and dialled Edwards number and waited for him to pick up.

Edwards POV

I couldn't believe that Bella was back in my life again after 5 years of solitude on my part, I was so unbelievably happy that I had my Bella back. I felt complete again.

I had just started to kiss her when I phone started to vibrate in my pocket. I ignored it and concentrated on this moment that I would remember for the rest of eternity. But who ever was calling me, wasn't going to give up. At that moment, I knew who it was instantly.

I put my hand into my pocket and pulled out my phone. Looking at the caller id only confirmed what I thought.

"What do you want Alice?" I asked as I pulled away from Bella to talk to my sister. I looked at Bella and she simply rolled her eyes and got up and walked into the kitchen.

"I'm so happy Edward. You and Bella are back together. You have to bring her over again so we can all have a proper catch up." She told me.

"Don't worry, ill bring her over tomorrow before she goes to get Naomi from Renee's" I said.

"Doesn't Renee live in Florida?" she asked. I forgot she didn't know that Renee now had a place near to Bella to help out with Naomi.

"Yea she does, but Phil got a really good job, so Renee could buy a place down near Bella to help out with Naomi. So that is where Naomi is tonight." I told her.

"Oh ok. Well I'm going now. Going to let you two carry on with what ever you were doing before I called you. See you when you get home" she hung up the phone before I could answer her back.

Bella then appeared from the kitchen with a glass of red wine.

I looked at her as she stood in the door way. I also looked at the large glass of wine that she had in her hand.

"Since when do you drink wine?" I asked her

"Since my daughter has taken a interest in expensive hobbies." She said as she walked over to sit next to me again.

"What do you mean expensive hobbies?" I asked. There was two reasons for me asking this question, one was that I genuinely wanted to know what

hobbies she was talking about, and I wanted to know what interests my daughter had.

"Well, there is the music first. Her piano lessons cost about $35 a month, plus I've just spend about $850 on the piano. Her violin lessons cost about the same and I bought her violin about 2 years ago, so that was about $185. and her flute lessons cost about $24 a months and her flute cost little over $100. so that is $94 a month for music lessons and little over $1000 for instruments." I suddenly felt very proud. At least she had some of my characteristics. I looked over Bella's shoulder and I saw the Piano standing next to the wall in the other room. I was just about to speak when Bella started talking again.

"And then there is her Dance lessons. She as been doing Ballet since she was able to walk properly. I could have quite easily spent about $500 on ballet stuff for her. And now she wants to learn Irish dancing, which is going to cost more than Ballet does." She took a large drink of wine before looking at me again.

I took hold of Bella's waist and pulled her so that she was close to my chest Bella finished her wine and set the glass down on the table. She then came back to leaning against my chest, she let her head fall onto my shoulder.

She sighed and then yawned. I looked at the clock. It was only 8.30.

"How are you so tired?" I asked. She never use to be so tired so early.

"I haven't had a proper nights sleep in almost 5 years. I'm allowed to be tired early if I want." She told me, still not raising her head from my shoulder.

"Why haven't you slept properly in 5 years?" I asked her.

"Well, I always slept better when you were with me, but you weren't here, so the only time I slept was when I was exhausted. And when I had Naomi, with her being half vampire, she didn't sleep as much as normal baby did, so I was up half the night with her, and I was doing my nurses training when she was little, so it didn't give my much time for sleep." She told me.

I didn't think about what I did next, I picked her up and carried her into her bedroom.

"What are you doing?" she asked me as we reached her room.

"I'm making sure you get a good nights sleep" I told her as I lay her down on her bed. I pulled the covers over her and lay on top of them next to her. We lay in such as position that her back was next to my chest and my arm was over her waist holding her hand, while the other hand stroked her hair.

We weren't there long before I could hear the signs of her falling asleep. Her heart rate began to slow a little and her breathing became more even.

Just as she slipped into unconsciousness she said one last thing.

" I love you Edward." she told me. It made me feel so happy that her feelings for me hadn't changed.

I bent down so that I was able to whisper in her ear.

"I love you too, more that you will ever know." I whispered in her ear so not to wake her. She then fell asleep. I kissed her neck and watched her as she slept just like I use to do.
