A/N: Hope you all enjoy.. Thank you for the reviews and I am SOOO sorry for the long wait..


"You made the front cover, girl." Rose said joining me in the kitchen grabbing a cup of coffee for herself. Normally we would have gone out for coffee but every time we stepped out the door these past two days was like hell. Always staring, always questions.

'Hero or Killer'

The headline read. I rolled my eyes as I seen the picture of me and Edward being taken from the hotel. The caption on the photo even questioned to where I got the bruises.

"I'm so sick of this and it has only been two damn days!" I tossed the paper away from me. "I need something to keep me busy."

At my request Rose pushed me to go get dressed and ready for the day. I groaned not actually wanting to leave the safety of the penthouse but she said she would take care of that.

An hour later we made our way to the safety of the parking garage and into a waiting car.

"Where are we going?" I finally asked looking out the tinted windows.

"To fill the house. I already talked to Emmett. He sent Leo here to pick us up and sent him with the family black card." I gave her a questioning look. "They really haven't had time to get everything they need with Edward being well in this situation and Emmett have to take care of some extra work. Emmett said that normally it would have been done before they moved in but they didn't want to 'crowd' into their parents place. I'm not sure you can make Carlisle and Esme's place crowded but whatever. Anyways, we get to pick out what we want."

I had to hand it to her. It was the perfect distraction and I defiantly wanted to do something nice for Edward because of everything he has done for me. I just didn't think anything would ever be good enough.

Esme and Alice tried to reassure me many times that there wasn't anything Edward wouldn't do for me but I just still felt horrible. And to find out that lying in a police report could result in a year in jail plus fines. Yea, that made me even more nervous.

A few hours later and we found ourselves actually laughing as we re-entered the house. The delivery men from many different stores followed us in with random furniture and other odds and ends.

"I think we went a little over board." Rose said laughing.

"Ya, think." I looked at the many bags that were surrounding us and the more that just kept coming. "You think they will be mad?"

"Hell no. We texted them asking their opinions on things and plus they pretty much have unlimited funds." Emmett and Edward had finally opened up about everything. They were no longer holding back and I loved it.

We had started putting things away in the Kitchen and dining room first because it was stuff we had inside already. Jake and Sam, security for the boys, were there to watch the workers.

"Ah, Miss Swan, moving in?" I whipped around to see Jake glaring at the new comer. It was the officer who was investigating the case.

"Can I help you?" I wanted to be a bitch to him but I didn't think it would help our situation.

"Yes just a few questions I needed answered about your statement." I motioned for him to sit at the table that had conveniently only been there for twenty minutes. He sat down.

"Can I get you anything? Water?" He shook his head no and I sat with him. Rose looked between us and Jake who probably would refuse to leave even if I asked. "Ok so what are these questions you have."

"You stated that the victim and Mr. Cullen had been fighting after Mr. Cullen came in and seen the victim abusing you." I nodded. "Who had the gun?"

"I told you James, and he isn't a victim. If Edward hadn't been there I would be dead." I stated probably with to much of a pissed off tone.

"Ok so when Edward got the gun, what happened?" I gave him a dumbfounded look. Seriously what happened next, this dude was an idiot. But I took a deep breath and answered anyway.

"I told you this already, James was choking him, Edward reached for the gun that had fallen off James and he shot him."

"So they were both still on the floor." I nodded. "Now you see that is where things get weird. You say that Edward was on the ground when he shot James yet the entry wound doesn't follow that story." I didn't say anything. I knew not to say anything I hadn't already, Edward had warned me of that. He also said that the cops showing up to catch me off guard would happen as well. "With all do respect Miss Swan but your lying." I gave him a dirty look as he stood up. "And when I can prove it, I will put you on the stand to testify against your little boyfriend and send his ass to jail." He was in my face now and I held up a hand to tell Jake to not do anything. I wanted to hear what he had to say. "But don't worry, you will be right next to him for lying and covering for him."

"I think it is time for you to leave. If you have anymore questions for Bella you can contact her through her lawyer." Jake took a step forward. "Let me show you the door." The cop didn't say another word and he left with Jake following him.

"You ok?" Rose asked sitting down.

"No, I mean, I know that if the truth comes out it won't be what they are thinking it is. But it still means a lot of trouble."

"Well what can we do to fix it?" I shrugged. All I wanted to do was help.

"Well, I know one thing." Alice said walking in. "Jake told me what the cop said. I came over to help you guys." She said with a smile.

"Ok but what is this one thing I can do to help. I can't just sit back and do nothing."

"Well it only really helps if this all goes to court." She shrugged.

"Ok?"

"Get married." I think my jaw just hit the floor.

"Um Alice, the only reason we are 'living' together is because I don't want to be at the hotel or my parents. Not that I mind it." I said with a wink at Rose who laughed and nodded in agreement. "I mean we haven't even said, um, I love you's or anything. I'm pretty sure that means we are not ready for marriage."

"Duh, but it would help."

"How?"

"Spousal Immunity. You and Edward wouldn't be able to testify against each other or for each other in court. Granted if you are served court papers before wedding then I don't know. So if you guys were to do it, it would have to be quick. And in state because the investigation is stopping anyone involved from leaving." I nodded and looked at Rose.

"I didn't know there was a law like that." Rose said giving me more time to think. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper walked in before I really had much time to think.

"Wow it looks like a store blew up in here." I laughed and gave Edward a kiss.

"Talk to Jake yet?" He shook his head no.

"Why?" Now he was worried.

"A cop came by today. He said that he knows we are lying about something and when he proves it he will make me help him put you in jail." He was instantly pissed. He took a step back from me and took a deep breath looking at the ceiling. Alice caught my attention and I nodded. "Alice came up with a plan though." He looked at her. "But I understand if you wouldn't want to do it but I can't sit here and not do anything. Not after everything you have been doing for me. It just isn't fair."

"I just don't want you to have to deal with all this." He said running his fingers softly against my cheek. "I'm just glad you have forgiven me for what I have already put you through." I playfully pushed him.

"There is nothing to forgive. You saved me." He kissed my nose and his brother groaned and fake gagged.

"Ok whats this plan though?" Emmett asked and Edward looked between Alice and I.

"Lets get married?" I said worrying about his response. I waited for the laugh, for a disbelieved response. Anything really, even a blow up. But no he just smiled.

"You would marry a guy you barley know and who is being called a killer?" He was still smiling.

"Your also called a hero. And that was said by my Dad, I happen to agree with him. And I could say the same to you about not knowing me well enough to take the blame for me." I couldn't help but smile. I really was scared of this idea at first but if it could help him in anyway I would do it.

"What if its not needed? What if this all blows over like it should?" I shrugged my shoulders again.

"I guess we will deal with that when the time comes. But I would rather be safe then sorry."

"What do you guys think?" He turned to Emmett and Jasper.

"Sounds reasonable. It should work. But when and where is this going to happen. If its something small and quick, would they be able to throw the law out? Because if they can prove your doing this for those reasons, I have a feeling it won't hold in court.
