Author's Note: Okay guys, I promised you I would be caught up later today, so here I am. Just one more chapter and I'll be on track again. Please don't hate me for getting so behind. Also, be forewarned, this chapter is more romantic than humorous as well. Not as romantic as my last chapter, but still fluff. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Sigh. I want to own Twilight. I want to be Stephenie Meyer. But I do not, and am not. My hopes are crushed.

Edward: "Do you want me to sing to you? I'll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away."

OME! No interpretations, no confusion whatsoever, just sweet, pure Edward and Bella romance. Can you hear me hyperventilating?


BPOV

Once the Volvo parked in front of a very familiar dirt trail, I knew immediately today would be a good day. He was taking me to the meadow. Our meadow. He slung me on his back and set me back down in our meadow in a matter of seconds. It was sunny today, and I watched intently as Edward stepped into the sunlight. I walked forward slowly to stand next to him. He curled both of his sparkling hands around my waist before sitting down and pulling me into his lap. I rested both my hands on top of his, still on my waist, and sat there basking in the warmth. "I love you," I whispered. He kissed my hair and sighed back, "I love you too, Bella."

Then the nightmare began. All of a sudden, as if a light switch had been flipped, the sunlight disappeared and the sky became cloudy and dark. The wind picked up and we were no longer in the meadow. We were surrounded by a maze of dark trees in a black forest. And he disappeared. My savior disappeared. Just vanished, right out from under me. "Edward?! Where are you?!" I called out, but there was no answer.

I stood up and frantically began searching and calling for him. Still there was no answer. I fell on many tree roots and wandered aimlessly for what felt like hours in a circle through the God forsaken place. And still, he didn't come back. I eventually just sat down and called him to no avail. "Edward? Edward! EDWARD!!"

"Edward!" I screamed as I woke up from my nightmare and looked around in near hysterics and confusion. I sighed when I saw those wonderful topaz eyes looking worriedly at me, before collapsing against Edward's chest. He put his hands on my shoulders and gently pulled me up to look at his face. "Love, are you alright?"

I nodded. "Just a bad dream, is all," I replied before looking down, suddenly embarrassed.

"Will you please tell me?"

I shook my head. He put one hand on my chin and pulled my face back up. His eyes were dazzling. "Please?" He asked in his sweetest, velvet voice.

I sighed. Stupid lovely vampire. "It started out good. You took me to our meadow and we were just sitting there, and then it turned bad…" I trailed off.

"And?" He pressed.

"The weather got bad, and we were in a forest, and then you just…disappeared," my voice broke a little on the last word. "I kept calling and calling, but you were gone." I was in near hysterics again.

He wrapped his arms around me and held me securely to his chest in an attempt to calm me. "You know that I would never do that to you. I swear, Bella, I will never leave again."

"I know," I said, "but I can't help what my imagination conjures up in my sleep."

"Everything's okay. Why don't you just go back to sleep," he said.

The dream was still fresh in my memory and I shook my head furiously. "Do you want me to sing to you? I'll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away," he soothed.

I nodded. He turned me around so my back was to his chest and his arms were around my waist, holding me next to him. "I love you," he whispered before beginning to hum my lullaby. I was asleep in minutes, and dream free all night.


See? I told you, romantical fluffiness. But I like it. Did you?
