Disclaimer: Really?! Well, I'm simply flattered you all think I'm SM. I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm not. I know! I just found out! Sorry if I mislead you, I didn't mean to.

Okie dokie, this chapter is dedicated to colorguard-girl for her incredebly helpful review! Tanx!

"Well…" Edward said, stroking my hair, "we should probably move away for a bit. Not far!" He added hastily, seeing the look on my face. "It's just, well; we can't stay at the house, for obvious reasons." He didn't need to say it. I knew it was my fault. Stupid, newborn, vampire instincts! They can go rot away somewhere with the stupid shiny Volvo (A/N inside joke…). I realized I still hadn't agreed out loud.

"Sure. Whatever we need to do. I can still see Zach, right? That's not an issue, right?" I asked.

"Of course. Just not, well, you know," I did know. Elizabeth. My baby; my baby I almost killed. I didn't realize Edward was on his cell phone until he was talking into it.

"I would like a nice house, in or as close to Forks Washington as possible." I heard some typing on the other end of the phone and a random-seeming address.

"Right now, please." Edward answered some unheard question.

"Yes, thank you," he hung up and turned to me. "We have a house. Fully furbished. All we have to do is run there."

"Thank you, Edward," I mumbled, snuggling up to him.

"You don't have to thank me. It was actually incredibly easy."

"Not just that. For everything. For our children, for always being there as I was changing, even just letting me change! I love you," I sighed.

"Love you too," He said. He began to pick me up, but I nimbly jumped out of his arms, startling him.

"I can run too, now," I reminded him with a laugh.

"So you can," he replied, chuckling. Once we got to the house and walked in (or Edward walked in, insisting he carry me. "I'm not human anymore!" "I don't care."). It was a big-ish cottage, not a normal single-family house, but not a shack, either. Once we got inside, Edward ran me up to our room.

"I'll give you time for a shower. I'll be right downstairs if you need me."

"Very well," I replied. I was having a weird feeling inside me; something I needed to be alone to figure out. Edward left and I went into the bathroom. I turned on the warm water and showered, thinking about the weird feeling. The more I thought about it, the more it became clear, but still vague. I could tell that the feeling was that of something heavy inside me, but this made no sense. I finished up my shower and put on my clothes. I went into the bedroom and paced. I just paced, trying to figure out what this feeling was and how to make it stop. Was I a defective vampire?

I listened to Bella's water running. I knew it would be difficult to watch and control a newborn on my own, especially one whose thoughts I could not hear, but what else could I do? Bella needed me, and I will do whatever she needs. Zach can visit until we get Bella's bloodlust under control. I heard her turn off the water and the zipper of her jeans zipping. I expected her to come downstairs, but since when has Bella ever done what I expected? Instead I heard her pacing in our room. I decided to leave her alone with her thoughts, but eventually after about an hour, I became worried. What was the matter?

I went up the stairs and knocked on our room. I received no answer, so I cautiously (attempting not to aggravate the newborn) opened the door. I watched her stop short, still not facing me. Something was wrong, I could tell.

"Bella?" I tentatively asked.

"Edward," she said, acknowledging my presence, but not very lovingly.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing, nothing at all," she attempted to smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Bella," I began warily, "I can tell, please tell me," I was begging now.

"It's nothing, Edward,"

"Yes, it is," She turned towards me, her eyes black. Dang! I just slipped and, in her mind, not only began arguing with her, but called her a liar.

"EDWARD! LEAVE ME ALONE!" she bolted to the open window and jumped out. Obviously she didn't hurt herself, but she began running, and I panicked. What if she ran into a human? She wouldn't be able to control herself, and when she came to her senses, she would hate me for letting her go. I had to chase her and bring her back. I jumped out the window slightly after her, but her newborn strength made her faster than I. I would never be able to catch her!

I followed her sent, but abruptly stopped. There she was, calmer than ever, seemingly touching something that wasn't there. She ran her finger around in the air in a rectangle shape, and then just touched the middle of it. Um, had she lost her mind completely?!

"Bella," I began cautiously.

"Hmmm?" she asked, and then turned toward me, seemingly realizing I was there. "Oh, Edward, you've lit up. The light coming from you is beautiful." What on Earth? I glanced up and noted the sun was covered. What was she talking about? Here she goes again. I better listen; Carlisle will want to make some theory on this. "Isn't it beautiful?" She asked, pointing to the air, the same place she was touching before. What was I supposed to say? Yes? What if she asked what I liked most about it? What then? She got impatient. "Well, Edward? The mirror. What do you think of the mirror?" Oh, a mirror. Okay, I could play along.

"It's wonderful." She was delighted by this answer.

"I wonder what will happen if I reflect your light?" She asked out loud. Please, let nothing horrible happen. Please, please, please. She giggled and looked at me.

"What, Edward? What are you saying please for?" She asked. What the heck?! I didn't say anything! "Yes, you did!" What, wait a second. Bella? I thought. "Yes?" she answered, irritated.

"Bella! You can read my thoughts! AMAZING!" She smiled, then turned around.

"Darn, the mirrors gone." Whatever. I thought. I advanced on her. Bella? Bella, I love you so much.

"Ummm… Edward? Can I help you?" What? Why can't she hear my thoughts? Oh, hold on a second.

"Bella, did you stop hearing my thoughts when the, err, mirror disappeared?" She looked confused.

"I guess so. But I couldn't hear your thoughts until I used the mirror to reflect your light onto me. By the way, you don't seem to be glowing anymore." So, she reflected my "light" onto her, then she could use my power. Interesting. Maybe this was her power.

"Bella, when Alice comes with Zach today, I'd like you to try to use the mirror to reflect any light she may be giving off onto you, okay?"

"All right. Let's go back to the house; I want to try using the mirror on you again, but not right now." Well, I didn't see how getting her home could hurt. I decided to use one of my not-so-romantic-in-my-eyes sayings. Bella loved them, and that's what mattered.

"Your wish is my command." It worked, she laughed.

"Race you." She challenged me. This was my chance to see how hard it would be to catch her if I had to again.

"Hah! As if you could beat me!" I goaded her. She smiled challengingly.

"On your mark, get set, GO!" and, chuckling, I followed her. Oh, Bella, Bella, Bella.

Sorry, there's just no nice way to put this. The number of reviews for the last chapter were pitiful! And it was a longish one, too! I suggest you all review, or many short chapters many be on their way...
