A/N: Okay, hope you guys enjoy this one, kinda a filler, but more fun then the last few. Thanks for sticking with this story, its taken a while, I just might be out of my rut thanks to all who review! :) Sit back and enjoy, I will try not to make you all wait this long again!

"So you're sure you guys are okay?" Jasper asked Alice, he had finally gotten through to her over the phone after much worrying and threats of leaving to find her.

"Yes, we're okay. Aro was talking with all of us, and now he is alone with Carlisle. I'm not sure on where this is going yet because he keeps changing his mind, but it seems to be okay. He seems to be in a giving mood. Just make sure you tell everyone that we were out for the day and didn't take our phones. Bella can't catch on to this yet," Alice replied. Jasper hated lying to Bella.

"Okay, I'm glad you are okay. Send the rest of the family our love and keep in touch," Jasper said, trying to keep it light. He looked over on the couch where Bella and Edward were sitting, looking pretty comfortable for once. Finally he thought to himself. Edward smiled at him and waited until he hung up.

"Everything is okay?" Edward asked, keeping his cool. Emmett was pacing in the background, trying not to look scared.

"Yes, they went out with Tanya and Irina and didn't take their phones, but Alice said everything is fine, and things are looking up. Apparently Tanya and Irina are in a good mood," Jasper said carefully. Edward and Emmett nodded, and Bella smiled slightly.

"I will be right back, I need to go do something really quick," Edward announced randomly, standing up and taking off to the back of the house. He was going to hunt until he was completely full, he had something planned and he couldn't take any chances.

Emmett visibly relaxed and sat down next to Bella, grabbing the remote and turning on the television. Jasper stayed where he was and silently thanked whatever higher power there was that his family and wife were okay. He glanced at Bella and could tell she was fighting an inward battle. He got up and walked into the kitchen, sure that she would be following a few seconds later. They had an unspoken language which no one else got.

"What's on your mind?" Jasper asked when she got into the kitchen. She looked around as if Edward might jump out of a cupboard at any second yelling 'surprise!' and cleared her throat.

"I don't think I can deny this any longer," She confessed quietly.

"Then why are you?" Jasper asked, knowing exactly what she meant.

"Because I'm scared he will leave again. Because I don't know how the family will take this, and because I don't know if this is even possible," Bella explained.

"Why don't you stop worrying for once and act on your feelings?" Jasper suggested.

"What should I do?" She asked, looking to him for support. Jasper hated this; he knew long ago that he needed to let her grow up. He had been keeping Bella young for too long, helping her with every problem, and catching her every time she fell. As much as it hurt him to do this, he was going to have to.

"I can't help you there Bells, this one is your fight. You have to do this by yourself. I can't tell you what to feel," He said quietly, almost afraid to look her in the eyes. Bella realized what he meant, and then it really hit her.

"I am so sorry," She whispered her revelation.

"For?" Jasper asked.

"I have spent my entire life making my problems yours. Relying on you completely and not doing anything without consulting you. That isn't fair to you, or Alice, or even to me," She said, staring off into the distance, with unshed tears hanging at the bottoms of her eyes.

"I'm just as much to blame as you are. I've been more than happy to help, like an older sibling or parent, I was happy that someone needed me. But I was hurting more than helping. You can do this Bella. I will always be here for you, but you need to start making your decisions without me. You already know what you want from Edward, let yourself admit it for once," Jasper said. Bella smiled at him, and he pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you," She whispered.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bella jumped slightly when she heard Edward jump in through her window. She had been reading Romeo and Juliet for the millionth time again, and she couldn't contain the feeling she got when she saw him standing there, looking at her.

She wasn't going to fight this any longer, there was no reason to, she knew what she wanted, and she knew what he wanted. She was going to have to grow up eventually. When Edward took a step toward her, she got up and for the first time, met him half-way.

"I wanted to continue our talk from earlier," He said softly, his intense gaze resting on her lips. Bella blushed furiously; sure she loved him, but who wouldn't tremble when he looked at them like that? She noticed his eyes; there were the brightest color of topaz she had ever seen on any of the family.

"Hunting?" She asked, trying to keep her cool. He smiled, and she went weak.

"I think I'm good for about a month. I can't even look at blood right now," He admitted, but that was the plan all along. He took another step to her, and this time she didn't back off. She held her head high and smiled.

"Good to know you aren't hungry," Bella said. Damn it Bella, how lame was that? Don't lose your cool. She thought to herself. Edward took another step, now he was close enough to where she could feel his breath on her when he spoke.

"Not for blood," He whispered. He smiled wider when he heard her heart beat pick up, and when the blush crept down her neck to her chest.

"Do you trust me?" He asked her quietly.

"Yes," She whispered. He smiled again, and lightly put his hands around her waist. He pulled her against his body, and she shivered. She tried to convince herself that it was because his skin was so cold, but she knew better.

"Edward?" She whispered, not even knowing why. He smiled as he dipped his head towards hers. Her heart was pounding against her chest, she could even hear it.

"Don't move," He said silently. She closed her eyes, and finally, she felt his cold lips touch hers. They were incredibly smooth, and the cold actually felt amazing. He was careful not to let his teeth graze her, but aside from that, he threw caution to the wind. He wouldn't hurt her, he was in too deep.

She moaned when she felt his tongue sweep over her lips, begging for entrance, and she didn't deny him. He pulled her closer, so she felt every inch of his body on hers, and she moaned again. Edward finally knew what heaven was like, and there was no way he was letting it go. Finally, he pulled back, knowing that Bella would have to breathe at some point.

She looked at him with such intensity; he nearly shuddered under her gaze. How a human could have so much power over him completely amazed Edward.

"I didn't get to answer you earlier," She whispered, resting her forehead on his. This time, he wished he had a heart, so he could feel it speed up the way Bella's did.

"Oh?" Edward asked, at a loss for words. Sneaky human, stealing his heart.

"I love you Edward," She said, so only his vampire ears could hear. There were no words to describe the love and excitement that flooded his emotions. He pulled her in to another kiss, and chuckled when he heard Jasper yelling from downstairs.

"It's about damn time!"
