AN: Sorry it took so long to update, I just havn't been in the mood to write lately. But anyway here's the next chapter!

Edward's POV hip-hip hooray!

My Bella, oh my Bella.

I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her onto my lap, I couldn't bear to be even mere inches away from her.

"So you knew these vampires when you were human?" asked the young male to my Bella's right.

My angel sighed, what a beautiful sound, "Yes William I knew the Cullens when I was human." she answered sounding exasperated, stressing the word "Cullens" in particular (for the last half hour my family was known as 'these vampires').

"And you knew they were vampires?" asked the young male's mate.

Bella must have answered these questions thirty times by now- "Yes Margaret."

"And he was your mate," said the older female gesturing to me, "when you were human?"

"Yes" she turned to me as she answered the other vampire, murmuring, "I love you."

I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "yawn"

Bella and Carlisle had told me about her exciting day (fainting, sleeping, defying normal vampire laws).

She did, rather dramatically too.

"I think Bella's getting tiered." I said addressing my family, "she's had a long day."

Emmet laughed, "You can't use that one anymore Edward! If you want Bella alone you're just going to have to sneak off like the rest of us!"

I frowned but Bella just chuckled, "Who knows Emmet- after fainting today I'm not sure of anything anymore."

"That was pain related," he said causing both of us to stiffen considerably, "and you're clearly not in pain anymore." he waved a hand toward us, Bella on top of me, my arms encircled around her tiny waist.

We both laughed. "Joy overload?" suggested Bella, Emmet laughed and shook his head. "Either way Emmet, I think Bella deserves a break." I cut in.

Emmet was about to say something but Esme beat him to it, "Go ahead Edward, we'll answer any more questions the Robertsons have."

I nodded a thanks, and- before anyone could say anything else- whisked my Bella upstairs.

How did I get this lucky? I was positive that I didn't deserve this at all- she was an angel, I had left her, I had tried to protect her. I had failed.

And there she stood before me forgiving and honest and open, wanting me, me, of all people, back.

I closed my eyes and inhaled her sent, which had only intensified with her change.

But it was no longer a sent which sent me into a bloodthirsty rage, instead it calmed my every tense muscle, relaxed me and aroused me at the same time.

"Edward-" she started, "I love you."

"I love you too- more than you know. I feel...full. For the first time in a long time actually." I confesed.

She shook her head as if she didn't believe me, "No Edward, that was my life...The empty feeling, fighting it off every day..." she trailed off.

I clasped her hands in mine, "It was exactly the same, I wasn't whole Bella, please believe me."

She cast her eyes towards the floor, "It's not that I don't believe you Edward it's just, well..."

I let go of one of her hands and lifted her chin until she had no choice but to meet my eyes. "Bella, you are my angel, you have no idea how lucky I feel to have found you."

I leaned down to kiss her, and despite what her eyes might say her lips reacted eagerly.

It was so amazing to kiss her again, to feel her lips perfectly molding to mine. Without thinking we fell on to the couch, still kissing.

"Whoa." said Jasper downstairs, "What is it?" asked Alice.

"Bella and Edward are feeling lustful."

Bella and I broke away, she'd heard him too- I had to remember I wasn't the only one with super hearing now.

I growled, Jasper just chuckled.

Bella petted the top of my head and kissed my cheek.
"That's okay- I just had an idea." she said peacefully, "What?" I asked with brimming curiosity.

"Well, my family will probably been here all night, sooo...let's go to my place." she ended seductivley.

I nodded, "Let's go."
