" Who?" He demanded sharply as I pressed my back against the pew my heart thundering away in my chest.
His muscles tensed as he heard the screaming of my heart and his hand gripped the alter.
There was a tremendous crack as a cloud of ivory exploded around Edwards hand as he crushed the alter like a rice craker in-between his hands.
" It was Jacob wasn't it!" Edward spun around as he shot to his feet with his in human speed.
" Wasn't it Bella?!"
I remained silent, suddenly concise of the growing child in my stomach. This was not going to end well at all.
His hands where suddenly tightening around my upper arms as his forehead bowed against mine, having just traveled across the room in a second.
" Wasn't it?" He whispered his voice ragged as his breath swept harshly across my face.
" No." I whispered tearfully as I tried to bow my head down against my shirt, tears pricking in the corners of my eyes.
" No, Edward it wasn't….."
His fingers loosened on my arms and I gasped in pain as Blood rushed back into my system in a painful burst.
" Who Then?" He begged as I looked up at him. His golden eyes where burning, in his skull with sheer frustration. His perfect god like lips drawn and white.
" You." I heard myself squeak as he turned my face up to look at him, his eyes searching.
" How?"
" Ummm…. We did had Sex, Edward!" I exclaimed as Edward's eyes probed mine his uncertainty made me physically ache.
" I can't loose you, thats why i ran!" I finally shouted my fists clenching as his eyes widened in shock.
" And who ever said you would?" He demanded, his hands softening on the sides of my face as his eyes melted. " Because of the baby, you'd thought you would loose me?"
" You silly girl Bella! Did you even think you had the faintest chance of escaping from me?" He laughed quietly as he ran his golden wedding ring down my cheek, as over my tears. "When I love you so unbelievable much?"
" No its not that!" I sniffed as he cocked his head.
" You confuse me." He stated as he pulled me against his chest. " I love you, Bella. Why do you not trust me, when I have done everything! Bella, absouletly Everything to gain your trust?"
" I do trust you, Edward!" I blubbered, as I collapsed into a pathetic heap against his chest. "Oh, the lord knows that I do."
" You are definitely pregnant." Edward observed as he coddled me against his rain dampened sweater, and his scent, strengthened by the water made me bury my head against the fabric.
" Bella I would never ever leave you! Why would I leave the thing I waited a hundred years for!" He stroked my hair as I clenched my eyes shut.
" I wouldn't leave you even if the child in your belly…." His breath caught and his hands stilled in my hair his body suddenly tense. "Even if that child wasn't mine."
" It is." I whispered as he rocked me back and forth. "Against all odds Edward, This Child is!"
" I'm Dead, Bella." I looked up to see his face at the return of his suddenly wintery tone. He was stiff his eyes daring me to argue, with this fact.
" Edward." I whispered as I lay my hand against his cheek and his hand instantly shot up and grabbed mine and cradled it against his face. "Edward, you have proved to me many times that you are not dead!"
" How?"
" Mentally and…." I trailed off blushing as he raised a eyebrow.
" And…." He pressed as I sighed. "Oh, do I have to spell it out for you Edward?"
" I'm afraid, yes." His eyes flickered with amusement as I turned a deeper shade of crimson.
"Come on Bella surely its not that bad."
" And Physically." I placed my hand over the zipper on his jeans to get the message across as his eyes exploded with surprise. " You've proved your not dead, physically." I finished.
" Well…." He sounded shocked.
" In fact your proving it right know." I observed as Edward slowly scooped up my hand and kissed the top.
" Bella." He said huskily "maybe this is not the best time to have your hand in my lap." He chided as I rolled my eyes. Of course all off a sudden, it seemed like the perfect time.
Hormones where rushing!
Ahh yes, Being pregnant was just a huge Laugh!
" Your not dead!" I said stubbornly. "You can go to school, and feel jealousy and a ton of other…. Emotions." Edward smiled as I hesitated to say emotions as he caught on to what I really meant. He had such a beautiful smile, i reflected, so bright and trusting.
" You bring them out in me." He rasped as I rubbed my belly.
" So this kicking, hormone crazed, Thingy!" I patted my stomach " Is yours bucko!"
" Lovely." He still sounded unsure as he reached into his pocket.
For a minute my heart started racing then it slowed again when I saw him pull out a piece of paper.
" Well then lovely Bella, why did you burn down our apartment and leave me this?" He murmured as I snatched the white piece of paper from his hand. It was the note i had left on my car, teh note that had pretty much destroyed me to write.
" It was to lead you astray." I Whispered as the chill came thundering back into my veins. " Apparently it didn't work."
" I see." He said and then after a pause, "Why?"
" First of all, how did you find me?" I demanded as he snorted with amusement.
" Bella, you're my wife, your smell is permanently burned into my Head and I could track you much farther than Seattle!"
" It was Mike's car wasn't it." I butted in and he looked down at me adamant.
" Maybe, a little bit….."
" I thought as much."
" So why where you running from me. Bella you make no logical sense to me what so ever, sometimes." Edward commented. "I mean if it is indeed my child why run. Is it some odd Human instinct….."
The phone call, My mind froze and as my panicked look reached Edward he hugged me close.
" Sorry, Sorry didn't mean to pressure you." He said resentfully as I drew in a shaky breath. It didn't feel like anything could happen to me or Edward or our baby, when we were all safe in each others arms.
When he had been away I had panicked!
Know I was able to think a little bit more logically, or perhaps a little bit more dangerously.
I leaned up and kissed his jaw boldly and he tensed. " Uhh….. Bella?"
" Let me tell you in the morning." I said my voice suddenly husky as he looked at me.
" I did this to you huh? The mood swings, the crying and then the seducing of your husband, this is all part of........ pregnancy?"
" Yes." I placed my hands against his chest. " And know you have some responsibilities, Edward Anthony Cullen!"
I saw his eyes light up as a smile gradually pulled at the corners of his lips.
" I like responsibility." He reflected as I pulled his lips down against mine and managed to murmur a muffled "Good."
Next thing I knew Edward had come up over me on the narrow pew and had taken my lips in his with a new fierceness and all the troubles of the day passed from my mind.
They could wait tell morning, I decided as I wrapped my arms around his neck., and he lowered himself down on me.
After all i figured, Edward had responsibilities.
"You'll make an amazing Father, Edward." I whispered against his neck. He chuckled as he leaned down and whispered in my ear. " And you an amazinig mother, Bella."
