Edward POV

I'd just told her what we had been doing once I'd left her. She had her head hung down and she was unconsciously picking up the grass, listening intently to what we had failed at.

When I'd finished I looked directly into her eyes, they were not completely full of love, in fact there was a lot of pain still there, which was being hidden with her other emotions.

"It's okay, Edward, look I'm going to need your help, okay?"

She started speaking, about her children, and I nodded listening intently. Bella wanted to spend time with me, had Jacob approved? Or had she run? Was she coming back to me? Was this going to be my happy ending?

I tuned back in

"With the kids, and running, one of them will take on Jake's gene, we recon its Timothy, but we can't be sure"

I looked back into her blue watery eyes; she still looked vulnerable in my eyes, she was still the human Bella I'd loved, wow, I sounded so much like Jacob then, 'Bella I'd loved' what am doing using past tense?

I still love her, and I'll fight for her, until the mutt dies then everything will go back to normal.

Jasper disagrees with my over joyfulness at the mutt dieing, he helped loads.

It's was quite a relief to me that Aro had bitten Bella, but Alice had seen a storm coming, a big storm that would end with Bella losing everything close to her, maybe she knew that's why she was asking me to help out.

There was one thing I could not stand for though, and that was no manners

"Bella, I'd really love to help you with anything, absolutely anything, but you need to give your children manners before I start to look after them" I found myself saying in a calm relaxed voice, that startled her, and through her quite a bit

"I was going to ask if you could help me with that" now it was my turn to look taken aback

"Bella, I can't do that, what if I-"

The beautiful, angel before me, that had once been mine; cut me off

"What I was going to say is, can you ask Esme to help me, while I fix up her kitchen?"

"I can ask, but I can't force her, Bella"

"I wasn't asking you for that, just to ask, that's all I'm asking of you Edward, " she said sincerely "for now" her smile grew wider, until she was nearly glowing, except that sadness was still there in eyes, it stayed there and I suppose it always would, because of me.

I'd caused that unhappiness; I didn't deserve Bella in the first place, what makes me think that I deserve her now?

I felt the pain of that thought become written over my face, I removed it as fast I could, but not fast enough for Bella to miss it, I would have normally got away with it, but she was like me now, and it didn't go unnoticed

"Are you okay Edward?"

"Just perky, I'll go and tell Esme the others will be wondering if I've been torn to shreds or not"

Then she breathed and yelled

"EDWARD'S OKAY!" we heard the loud chuckle of Emmett fast approaching

"So, no one killed anyone, that's sad" he went to carry on but he saw Bella, and came to an abrupt stop in mid sentence, quite funny when you see it my way.

"Hi Emmett" Bella said, holding out her hand for a handshake, Emmett cautiously took it.

"Hi Bella" he responded, as he then took a firm grip and went to flip her, but she last second moved her leg, so as he swung her round, she tripped him up, and Bella landed in her feet, and came to sit down again.

I chuckled looking at my innocent Bella, throwing Emmett off guard and not with violence, but with tactics.

Emmett got up, making his way over to us

"I now know why i always bear hugged her, it was my conscious telling me she was dangerous"

Bella was in fits of laughter before he had finished, her laugh was contagious, but it was like the sea when it was calm, filled with peace, and created a comfortable atmosphere.

Bella's POV

I sat and let my calming laugh engulf them in this fake pretense. I may as well, I'd got Edward and Emmett, who is smiling mischievously at me now, and I'm just a tad scared about it.

I got up, leaving and entering the woods, I made myself a winding track that crossed over three or four times.

It would hopefully confuse them, making them go taking them longer to catch up with me.

I ran up trees, and down others that I'd run up, and jump from the top, only to reveal my scent again, and again.

I eventually got to the Cullen's; Esme was outside watching out anxiously for her two boys. I had a quick bite to eat, that's how complicated I'd made the scent.

I had blood down my top, because I'm a messy eater.

"Hi Esme, I need to ask you of a favour" her eye brow lifted to the broken window and ruined flower beds

"I'm in a difficult position, and I will continuously work on the garden, and get it looking the best it possibly can, because I need you to help me with my children" Esme's eyes filled with happiness.

"I'll have to tell everyone"

"Should I just take that as a yes?"

"OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!" Esme's arms wrapped her arms around me in a warm embrace.

I was frozen; in shock, I wasn't expecting that, I hadn't thought that Esme was so desperate.

It was silly of me to think that I could believe such a stupid thing, as I embraced her, I heard her cry, her brown hair was down and it swayed down her back, curling up at the end, my hair was a lot longer, and was in that bun.

Esme let go of me, and I nodded, a huge smile was plastered on her face.

At this point we all heard Carlisle's car come into the driveway, and I heard Emmett's booming laugh from the lounge, because he beat someone.

"I'm not paying up Emmett, you cheated on the 23rd second, everyone saw it" Jasper argued, I crept silently towards the kitchen, going unnoticed, that was until I looked directly at them, it was like sirens were going off in my head from all directions.

"I'm making something to eat anyone want anything?" I shouted out of the kitchen door- way, automatically, expecting Jacob to answer that he'd order a cow.

"Well you are in a house full of vampires their going to order come fries, and a burger individually" I heard Jasper comment

"Can't do that, sorry" I mumbled, rummaging through their cupboards, I found some vegetables, and a frozen chicken, my stomach rumbled.

"Okay if I eat this?" I asked to be polite

"No, I want it" Emmett whined, I turned round with a pleading look on my face, he had a massive grin on his face as he held up a camera, Jasper was looking very innocent and I felt it come over in waves, my own waves, sent them back.

He looked directly at me, drenched from head to foot; I'd cleaned the vegetables and left the tap on to wash my hands again.

"Gotcha" I muttered, I lifted the water from the sink, and started slowly raising it

"I leant over the sink, using the water from the tap, I made it look like I was throwing up

"Bella?" Emmett muttered, completely concerned, I heard Edward rush down the stairs; I lifted the band in my head, and told him.

He paused mid way in the stairs, and ran to Alice's room, I felt Emmett's heavy hand rest on my shoulder, then I turned and directed the now hot water at his face, then I got his clothes, and then…

Alice came into my firing range, all I thought was

'I'm so dead'

"BELLA!" Alice screamed "I came down here to see if u were okay, because Edward said…" she blinked then "Edward" she said at human level, the music upstairs went up a hitch.

"Alice, I have an idea"

"What for?"

"Revenge, got any clothes that'll fit me?"

The same evil smile spread across Alice's face that mimicked my own, I already had my elastic back in place, and it now covered Alice as well though.

Sorry I wanted to have a bit of fun with it
