Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

I didn't need much time to realize, a life without Edward simply wasn't a life at all.

"What did I do?" The question slide from my lips in just a sweet murmur. The pain swirling in the air was hard to avoid, hard to keep out of my lungs with the deep breathe I took. My palms began to sweat, and I had the sudden urge to blink away the blur my vision had become.

"Edward." I called out, my voice sounding far off. I stood from my seat, and then I was running. I was running so fast, I had no time to acknowledge my parents in the lobby, who watched me with curious eyes. I had no time to even glance at Katherine or Jacob, or Tommy for that matter as I dashed out the exit.

"Bella?" I heard them ask, but there was no time for answers. I slid through the doors my eyes searching for what my heart needed, my head moving in all directions. He couldn't have gone that fast, why is his car gone, did he even bring the car?

"God I hate questions." I blurted out to myself for a wild moment.

"Edward!" I called into the misty fog ahead, my eyes narrowing adjusting to the dark.

"Edward!" My voice became shaky, my legs became unsteady and I knew for a fact I wasn't going to faint this time. It would be that easy this time around. It would be much harder, the pain wouldn't knock me out, instead it would torture me, make me suffer. I couldn't argue, I deserved it.

"Edward!" I pleaded into the darkness. My hands absentmindedly stroked my baby bump through my t-shirt. I could do this, no, we could do this, I could be a good mom right? And Edward could be a good daddy, everyone could just understand that one day? Everyone would leave us alone because we would live far away, we could send everyone a post card. I could do that. I don't need to have my mother's approval, because things aren't going her way, no matter how hard she fights my decisions. Edward and I can do this.

"Edward!"
A baby boy no? A baby boy with green eyes like his daddy, a baby boy smart like his father. I could do that, Edward would love me, and Elizabeth would fall in love with the little green eyed monster right? Mr. Masen could hate me if he wanted, he could hate me in a million years but it shouldn't change the fact that Edward loves me and I love him. We could do this. I know we can.

"Edward!" It wasn't love that made me insane it was the pain that came along with it. Everyday wasn't going to be perfect, I should have known that. But somehow I had made myself expect things to. A year ago, getting laughed at once in the halls was considered a good day, and now I just start balling any chance I get. I was always strong, I always waited till I got home to cry, I always narrowed my eyes at bitches down the hall not scared of anyone's words.

"Edward." I whispered staring out into the dark fog surrounding me. His name so soft, so light in the air, I gripped onto myself for dear life. It sunk in as fast as it took him to walk out the room: A life without Edward was hardly a life at all. I can't wrap my head around the idea of all those years without him, because now that I have him, he's all I ever need. The wind whispered in my ear, sending chills down my spine, the cold wrapped up around me holding me prisoner in its grip. I could hear the freeway in the distance, a similar sound to the roaring ocean when the waves would tumble to shore. I squeezed my eyes shut listening harder to the ocean sing, biting my lips and wrapping my arms around me tighter. The air played with my hair, as it danced in the breeze, giving even my scalp a shiver. Goosebumps rose on my very pale arms and when the wind suddenly turned angry I heard my sharp intake of breathe. My heart was beating, and I was feeling.

None of those things in the hospital mattered right now, none of it.

If I hadn't ever counted on time healing, I surely was now.

"Bella."

The voice wasn't happy. It was filled with concerned and hurt.

"Yes Alice." I spoke no louder than my usual inside voice.

"He's-"

"Not coming back." I finished for her.

"Of course I would come back. I don't give up so easily. You should know that by now." His voice sent a million more Goosebumps down my arm than the soft caressing wind ever had. My eyes flew open following the sweet musical voice that had just spoke, and even with the darkness set around us, I could see those piercing green eyes. In that same minute, I was rushing to him. My eyes wide, my heart and mind set.

"Edward." Was all I said, and I jumped into his arms. My lips found his instantly, and I poured my soul out.

"A house. A nice little house. A white house. Or maybe blue. We could paint it during the summer for my own entertainment- It'll be somewhere sunny, maybe California- oh and flowers, I want a garden, a big one- Something with roses and – Lilly's! If it's a girl I could teach her how to garden, I could teach her to cook- If it's a boy you could teach him so much- I would want him to be like you. I-"

"What are you talking about?" He interrupted my rant, as he held me close to him. My leg wrapped around his waist, and my hands tracing his lips. Those soft delicate lips, that make me tingle with each touch. I could feel the electricity radiating from his body to mine, as he stared down at me. His green eyes confused, yet amused.

"The future. Our future. Because it's going to work out, and we'll be together no matter who or what. I'm so sorry! Edward, I shouldn't have even thought about leaving- I'm so stupid-" He cut me off again.

"As long as you know there is a future for us. I just need you to know that." His eyes were soft, his words were strong.

"You mean that don't you?" I whispered.

"I mean it." He kissed my cheek.

"Edward. I always had faith in you. It was everyone else that had me worried. It was never you."

"You have to have faith in yourself too. That way everyone else doesn't matter."
He had never been so right.

"Yeah." My words came breathlessly.

"Lets go home." Alice's voice sounded back to its usual squeak from far behind us.

"Lets." He kissed my cheek once more.


I let my head rest on Edward's shoulder as he carried me to Alice's front door, while Alice rambled on and on endlessly about something.

"Are you even listening?!" Alice screeched. It had to be at least 1am. Was it necessary to be heard from a mile away when we were standing a foot away from her.

" Oh my goodness, for the last time. I'm listening." Edward groaned, and I giggled into his shirt. Watching them was quite amusing.

"Well then answer! Why did Jasper wink when he said 'see you later'" She begged.

"I have no idea, could you please save this for one of your random phone calls." He pleaded; I lifted my head to look at both of them questioningly.

"Random phone calls?"
"I get bored." Alice shrugged.

"And I get tortured." Edward grimaced, and she punched him in the shoulder.

"Good night Edward." She stuck her tongue out at him, and he set me on my feet giving me a quick peck on the lips, then turned to the pouting Alice to peck her forehead. They had really gotten close, and I for one loved it.

"I must hurry back home to mother." He smiled back at me.

"You must."

And then it was just Alice and me. Katherine had stayed at the hospital to keep Elizabeth company while Edward was gone, and things had cooled down enough for Mr. Masen to politely ask for my parents to leave and stop trying to murder his son. Which I was glad, because I don't know how I would face my parents, or if I ever want to do such a terrible thing. I think Alice got rid of Jacob and Tommy, because seriously there was no need for them to even be there at the hospital.

"You hungry?" Alice asked, as she unlocked the door and the warm house welcomed us in, I gladly let it and let my body relax.

"Starving." I rubbed my belly, and her eyes traveled to the baby. Suddenly she was beaming, glowing in fact. Her dark blue eyes seeming shaded brighter, and her cheek becoming a little pink.

"Guess what's in 3 weeks?"

"What?" I watched her carefully.

"5 months." She smiled wide.

"Already?" I breathed, trying to count back the days in my head.

"Yup." She giggled in glee. "The baby will be here so soon"

"You know what that means right?" Alice looked up at me expectantly, but I was blank with all the overwhelming ideas of a baby coming along soon filled my mind.

"No."

"Closer, and closer to your baby shower!" She squealed and I rolled my eyes.

"Yay." I threw my hands up sarcastically.

"You'll love it." She yawned and smiled at me.
