BPOV:
I woke up to the feeling of cold arms slowly wrapping around me. I could tell it was Edward and noticed that he was quite tense. Twisting around, I kissed his neck then looked up to study his face. He seemed to be thinking very hard and my curiosity was immediately spiked. He could tell and was reluctant to speak. His mouth opened and closed many times so I relaxed and snuggled back into him to get him to relax.
"Bella?"
"Yes?"
"I think you are becoming a better actress. Maybe there is hope for you."
"Oh really? So, I can know all the secrets now?"
"Of course not, you aren't that good. Maybe after a decade or two."
"Darn." I couldn't help but giggle.
"You still didn't fool me, but give me a minute so that I can order my thoughts and figure out the best way to explain this to you. Do not panic though, it is more something that I need to worry about."
This, of course, only made me even more curious and I gave myself away by looking up at him. I stared right into Edward's green-amber eyes and smiled. His eyes were so pretty green that I forgot that they hadn't always been that way. There was a span of eighty years that they were just gold. Now I was the one who got the honor of seeing that mix everyday. …And so was Chelsey… That was it; that was what he was having trouble telling me. She was old enough for us to leave and yet still young enough that she wouldn't be too attached when we left. I could handle this. I would be all right.
"It's okay Edward. I'm ready. I knew this day was coming and I have been preparing myself for it. I married you and am sticking by that promise. Nothing NOTHING can change that."
"Well, that was unexpected, but believe me in a good way. I wasn't sure how you were going to react to Jacob imprinting, especially with it being with another werewolf. Did you know that Leah isn't the only girl?"
I froze. I was wrong. Wow! I didn't know what to think I just knew that that was not the path my brain was on. Edward noticed and picked me up and started rocking me. My shock faded quickly though and I noticed that I was ecstatic for Jacob. I jumped up and started dancing for joy although it was a little too quickly. Edward scooped me up quickly though and gave me a questioning look.
"Why do you always look at me like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like I'm from some insane asylum."
"Bella, love, I never mean it that way and you just never seem to cease surprising me. I thought you would take the news a bit differently."
"No, the bond seems to have been broken so, in other words, I don't have feelings for him anymore. That makes me really happy."
"What? Why?"
"Because, I know that it hurt you and I hated seeing that, but it also meant that I was hurting Jacob because he knew that I loved you more. Can we please go now? I would like to be changed so that we can get back to Chelsey as soon as possible."
"Of course, love. Whatever you would like." He kissed me on my forehead sending shivers down my back.
