Chapter 7

BPOV

I wasn't sure what time it was when we got back to Forks, but it looked to be about morning or afternoon, I was way to tired to find out. Edward carried me up to our bed and laid me down. He gave me a kiss then started to hum my lullaby.

I woke up to a big empty bed. Edward wasn't present and neither was anyone else. I went out to the hallway and looked down into the living room to see them all conversing in the living room.

"Hello, Bella, we have to talk." Edward said.

"Um, okay, about what." I asked.

"Bella, we are going to leave soon," Carlisle jumped in. "So were going to fake your deaths now, so that when you give birth, they wont ask questions about who gets custody, and it will also be less hard that way."

"Can I say goodbye first?"

"Yes, but don't actually say it." Edward smirked.

"I better go call Renee, then."

I walked into the kitchen, and picked up then phone.

-ring, ring-

'Hello?'

'Phil, can you put my mom on?'

'Sure Bella'

'Hello?'

'Hi mom.'

'So have you changed you mind?'

'No, I'm not calling to fight, I'm calling to say I'm sorry.'

'Apology accepted, but I still think your going to regret this.'

'Then I guess it's time I start learning first hand.'

'There's no going back'

'I know, I have to go mom, goodbye, I love you'

'Love you too Bella.'

I hung up, a tear slid down my cheek. That was the last time I'd talk to her.

"Bella, Are you okay?" Edward asked.

"Yeah I'll be fine."

Edward then explained to me that we were going to tell Charlie that Edward and I were going on a road trip to Maine. We'd tell him we go into a bad car accident and then fake our death, Carlisle would tell Charlie that we were gone. Now all I had to do was tell Charlie. Great.

Charlie was still at work so I couldn't go over there. I dried my tears, and called the station.

'Hello, Chief Swan.'

'Hi dad, it's Bella'

'Bells, how are you doing.'

'I'm good, but I just wanted to tell you that Edward and I are driving to Maine, to visit some of his relatives, well be back by Sunday.'

'Oh um Okay then, just be careful, okay?'

'Yes dad, I will, I love you, goodbye'

'Bye Bells'

I cried for a little while as I packed my things. Carlisle said that we'd be moving to the Pocono's in Pennsylvania. They had a house up that way, and Carlisle knew that there was a lot of forest up that way since the Pocono's were very mountainous. Edward put our stuff in the trunk. He opened the passenger door and kissed me on my forehead.

"Everything will be okay, I promise." I smiled back at him.

"I know."

We both got in the car and he started the engine. Alice came up to my window.

"Bella we'll meet you at Lake Ontario and a few days, we'll help fabricate evidence."

"Okay." I said.

I wasn't happy about faking my death, my parents would live the rest of their lives thinking I was dead, in the next few days, their lives would be turned upside down. I felt bad, but I wanted to share my life with Edward, and our child. This is what I wanted, even thought I was being very selfish.

"Ready love?" Edward asked.

"Lets be done with it, I suppose."

"Bella, you don't have to do this, you know."

"I know Edward, but I want this, to be with you, forever."

He kissed me so delicately on my lips. "I love you." He whispered in my ear.

"I love you too Edward." I smiled.

He started the engine. I turned around and got my last look at the house I probably wouldn't see again for 50 years. I turned around in my seat and leaned my head against the window. This time I'd only let a few tears fall, just a few.
