A/N

Okay sorry it's been a while since I posted a proper chapter I have been really busy with homework. I will try to write as many chapters as I can this week because I won't have my computer all weekend as its being upgraded. SORRY. Just to bore you all with my personal life, my mum has pre-ordered me the TWILIGHT 2 disk special edition DVD I'm so excited I can't wait till I get it it's going to be awesome. Over in the UK we don't get it till the 6th! It's only a week but it seems so long. If your country has a really late release date I would love to know, we could be sad together, but all you Americans out there could you tell me what you think of it, is it good, what are the special goodies?

Okay so I promise to take me time with this chapter and make sure I get it right, some of you may have read my recent authors notes they have been deleted. I thought about it and I decided I shouldn't pick up bad habits so I promise to finish this story. To be honest I did try to re-write it but I got frustrated and couldn't think of ways to improve. Of course there are certain chapters and paragraphs I don't like but I'm just going to have to live with it. Anyway I guess you're hoping to get on with the chapter so here is…

Chapter 9:
Reunion

I slowly rose from my bed running my fingers through my hair, it was a state.

"Good Morning Sweetheart" he whispered in my ear, hi velvety voice echoing in my brain.

I struggled to stay on my feet my head was dizzy, I had just been dazzled.

"Sorry" he said pulling away.

"I'll go and get the car, see you out side in half an hour"

I nodded, he kissed my forehead.

"I love you"
He smiled at my words, the happiness spreading over his pale face.

"You are my absolute everything"
An involuntary smile wiped across my face, I blinked and he was gone.

After I had put on some clean clothes and tied up my messy hair and headed downstairs. Charlie was gone, it was already 10pm. I left him a note, so he wouldn't worry.

Charlie.

Gone out to get baby clothes and things, be back later.

Bella

I stuck it on the TV remote knowing he would find it, trying not to look to eager I slowing unlocked the dead bolt and took my first steps down the drive. Of course his Volvo was parked in Charlie's space. Being the gentleman he is he got out and opened the passenger door for me.

"Thanks"

"Anything, for you"

I smiled, I was still getting used to his affectionate words and the fact that he still loved me. I had been telling myself he didn't for 3 years. He set off down the road obeying all the speed limits.

"What's with this?"

"Well, I'm trying to do everything to please you"

I smiled at his words.

"Okay, that means today is mine"
He chuckled at the memory of our first few days together.

"Sure, ask away"
I paused for a moment trying to think of a decent question, and then it came to me.

"Edward, what did you do with my presents?"

He turned towards me whilst driving using his spare hand to stroke my hair.

"I'm surprised you didn't find them, I put them under your floorboards"

I was stunned at his words, I had considered the possibility in my mind but had dismissed it quickly as I was trying to get better. I smiled at him affectionately he returned the gesture. For the rest of the car journey, I stared at him inhaling all his beauty. The dark blue shirt he had on complemented his skin tone wonderfully, he had a couple of buttons undone I couldn't help but wish he had undone just one more. He stroked my hair, something he always did and occasionally brushed his cold finger against my cheek, I blushed.

"I have missed that so much" I smiled at him letting him continue to stroke my hair. Before I knew it we were outside the Cullen's house, everything was already in its place I assumed it was mostly down to Alice and Esme. Edward let us in; we were greeted by all the Cullens who were all waiting by the front door. Alice would have hugged me first if she wasn't beaten by Emmett.

"I've missed you lil sis, it's been boring without you around, look at your belly Woahh"
I gave him a grin.
"I've missed you too, If you want some more action I'm sure I can provoke another vampire for you"

He chuckled "That would be much appreciated"

Alice stepped forward she was eager to join in the reunion, she came running at me with open arms, gently giving me a soft hug.

"Oh Bella, I have missed you so much I would have said goodbye but he made me promise."

"It's okay, I understand"

She paused for a moment scanning me, probably inspecting my outfit. I was wearing sweats and one of Charlie's baggy tee shirts; I couldn't afford any maternity wear.

"Bella, what are you wearing just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you have to look like a Nike advert." She gave me an excited look "I guess we're going to have to go shopping, tomorrow?"

I really wasn't in the mood for shopping and I didn't want to be parted form Edward, but I had missed Alice so much and spending time with her, even if it was shopping ,sounded fun.

"That sounds great Alice" She was surprised with my eagerness.
Jasper, usually kept his distance but he gave me a quick hug I felt a wave of guilt come over me.
"Bella, it was my entire fault if I hadn't of jumped at you like that, Edward would have never left."
"Jasper, how could I blame you for anything there is nothing to be sorry for, don't feel guilty"

His smile showed he had forgiven himself, if only Edward would do the same.

This time I stepped forward across the wooden floor towards my second parents in many ways. I was greeted by a light joint hug.

"Bella, we tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen" Carlisle sounded very apologetic.

"Carlisle, I would never blame any of you" I glanced at Edward who was now at my side.

Esme stroked my arm. "I'm so happy for you Bella; you have everything I have always wanted"

A baby, my little Jake.

"He's going to have a lovely grandmother" and in many ways she was going to be Jakes grandmother.

She smiled a wide grin. I received no reunion from Rosalie I didn't expect any. Edward and I spent the rest of the day in his room talking endlessly; we had stopped when he decided it was time for me to eat. He had to stop me as I could have talked to him all night long. After a while I just laid against his cold granite chest whilst he stroked my long brown hair, nothing needed to be said. After I had grown tired he drove me back to Charlie's, Alice had given me a few empty shopping bags so Charlie wouldn't become suspicious. I spent the rest of the night with Edward by my side, dreaming pleasant dreams.

Soo…

What did you think?
Like it?
I know the last part seemed rushed but it really wasn't I didn't feel the need to go into depth as it wasn't relevant to the plot and would have just bored you all.
