I was in bed with Edward stroking my hair, and trying not to fall asleep. Suddenly, a knock on the door broke my concentration. I yawned. Edward growled and hissed, and I immediately knew who it was. Rosalie come back to finish me and my child. My eyes grew wide and I clung to my protector. He looked down at me and I could tell he was wishing he hadn't growled the way he had. He wanted to make it all better,
"No one should be allowed to do this to you."
"I'm scared, Edward."
"I know, love, but I'm right here. She wouldn't hurt you with me right in front of you. Besides, I won't let her even try."
"I don't want to let her in."
"Bella, this is rude. Besides, she is my sister, adopted or not. We'll allow her in and if she misbehaves I'll never let her see you ever again, OK?" This comforted me somewhat. After recognizing that she was related, not necessarily biologically, top Edward, she didn't seem as though she could have been that frightening. But I was still scared.
"Stay by me, promise?"
"Of course."
"Alright." Then, a little louder, I said, "Come in!" And Rosalie entered. She looked beaten(in spirit, not physically) and so upset. Then she asked,
"Edward, can I see Bella alone?" I cringed and squeezed his hand. He had promised, hadn't he?
"No," he replied flatly to his sister. She looked like she were about to cry. Even without Edward's power, I could tell what she was thinking: I deserved that.
"Ok," she turned to me, "Bella, I truly didn't mean what I said, and did I suppose. I was just in a rage. I promise never to hurt you or your child. I understand if you don't want me to be a part of the baby's life after how I acted, but if you want me to be, I would love to be. So, that's all, and I'll let you think on it," she turned and fled the room in dry-sobs. Right after she left, Alice came in. She must have known this conversation would take place.
"She won't hurt the baby if you say yes. I've seen it," she informed my Greek God and me. I was still apprehensive.
"But the future can change. It's not set in stone."
"No, you're right," Alice allowed, and she left.
"What do you think, love?"
"I'm going to make my decision as if Alice hadn't said that, because I'm not risking my child's life on what might happen. I'll sleep on it."
"I will too," he replied. We both laughed, and I fell asleep.
