Chapter 2: My Angel

Edwards POV

I was laying on my side toying with her hair when it started…her screaming…I heard her shout my name more than once, and then she started to squirm in the sheets. It wasn't pleasant at all to see her like this. As soon as she woke up her breathing was ragged and her heartbeat was rapid, and automatically I felt the need to calm her.

"Bella?" I asked, while stroking her cheek.

"E-Edward?" Bella asked, with uncertainty and panic.

"Yes my dearest Bella, I'm here, and always will be." I replied, with my lips exceedingly close to my love's ear.

"Edward? What are we going to do today?" she asked rolling on her left side to face me.

"Well… You're going to stay here, while Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and I go hunting." I replied half smiling.

Bella smiled, and then rested her head on my shoulder while asking, "What about Alice and Jasper?"

"Uh…They went out for a run together…" I replied.

"Carlisle?"

"He's going to be here with you."

"Ok…" Bella said, yawning.

"EDWARD!!" Emmett shouted down the hallway and then slamming the door open.

"IT'S TIME TO GO HUNTING!" Emmett shouted a big grin on his face.

"What's wrong with him?" Bella asked, her face a little lost in confusion.

"He's just a little too excited." I replied, smiling.

"Oh…"

"Come on! We havn't got all day!" Emmet said running down the hall.

"I'll see you when I come back...Carlisle will take care of you." I said placing a kiss on my love's forehead and then heading for the door.

"Huh uh…Edward? How long will you be?" Bella asked.

"Short enough to come back and take you for a long picnic in the meadow." I said, as I gave into a huge smile.

"That sounds nice." Bella replied, yawning and then falling back to sleep.

"Sweet dreams, my angel." I whispered, while softly closing the door.
