I knew Edward said he would never leave again, but way deep down inside, I couldn't have been sure, he can still leave when he wants to. At least this time if I really had to I could follow him, follow his scent and track him down until we were together again.
I shook that thought out of my head, before Edward would see it in my eyes.
I grabbed his hand and raced out of his bedroom, until we were out the back door and in his backyard. I walked over to Esme's garden and sat down in the middle of it – in the dirt – and with a wave of my hand, invited Edward to comes and sit with me.
Which he silently agreed to, he came and sat down behind me and pulled my back against his chest, so I was sitting in between his legs, and his chin resting on the top of my head. It was a quiet moment; none of us knew what to say.
That was until Alice came out the back door with Jasper following her.
"Are you two just going to sit here all day?" Alice asked.
"Alice, I think they're happy to sit there" Jasper answered her, while I looked up at her and smiled at Jaspers answer, like I agreed with him.
I looked at Edward, who was looking at Alice, with a look of concentration on his face; I didn't get it, that's until I realized they were having silent conversation.
"That is really annoying, you know" I said to both of them.
They both ignored me, so I looked up at Jasper who just shrugged his shoulders, at me.
"Alice no, I don't think that is a good idea" Edward finally said something out loud, but I didn't get his sudden outburst.
"No, what?" I asked, looking at both of them.
"Well I don't want to sit around the house all day and I thought…" Alice was interrupted by Edwards menacing hiss.
"Let her continue, Edward" Jasper said, standing protectively in front of Alice.
"Yes, let her continue" I said, I really wanted to know, what she had planned.
"Well, there is a storm tonight, and I thought a baseball game was in order, seeing as we haven't had one game, the last 70 years" she looked at me.
I slightly shuddered at the memory of James and what had happened, but a baseball games sounded fun, I've always wanted to have a go since I became vampire, but my family never wanted to play.
"See Alice, she shuddered, she doesn't want to, it was a bad suggestion" Edward answered her with an angry tone, while rubbing soothing circles on the bottom of my back.
Alice looked down at me with concentration and then her eyes glazed over – she was having a vision. A smile spread across her face as her eyes once again focused on me, I knew, that she knew the answer.
"So Bella, what do you think?" Jasper asked.
I looked around to see Alice, Jasper and Edward looking at me.
I took a deep breath and answered with a quick "Yes, I would love to play".
"Are you sure, love? You don't have to" Edward said.
"I'm sure" and to insure him, I gave him a quick kiss on the bottom of his chin.
"Okay, let's play some Baseball" Alice yelled.
From a distance we could here Emmett coming down the stairs from inside – from his previous activities with Rose – and out the back door, with no shirt on and the top button of his jeans undone.
"Did I hear the word ' baseball'?" he said excitably, while jumping up and down on the spot.
"Yes, we are going to play, are you in?" Edward asked.
"Yes, Rose and I are both in" he yelled.
"Um, Emmett, you might want to go get changed, your scaring Bella and Alice" Jasper said, slightly amused.
"Oh right" and I swear if he was human, he would have blushed.
*********
Here we were the same field as 70 years ago. It hasn't changed much, the grass is just longer and there are more trees. Carlisle, couldn't come as he was working a night shift and Esme thought if he couldn't go, she would stay home.
So it's just Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Edward and me. Emmett was out field making bases, while Jasper, Alice and Edward were chucking the ball at one another, with such force.
That means it left me with Rose.
"It's not that hard, you know" Rosalie said, while turning to face me.
"What do you mean?" I asked, slightly confused at her sudden statement.
"Baseball, it just comes with your instincts, don't think about it, just do it" She said.
"Thanks Rose that helps" I giggled and she joined in.
"What's so funny?" Edward asked, and I jumped because he was suddenly next to me.
"Oh, Rose was just giving me some pointers" I answered him and gave him a quick peck on the lips and ran off, to join Emmett and help him with the bases.
*********
It was only moments later, and the storm clouds were rolling in pretty fast, but apparently Alice said we weren't going to be rained on. I was a little disappointed; I wanted to get all muddy.
At the exact moment we sorted out our teams - which was Edward, Emmett and me, against, Jasper, Alice and Rosalie – thunder shook the ground beneath us.
"I guess it's time" Rose said.
We nodded our heads in agreement. We decided that my team would bat first.
So, Rosalie gracefully run over to the outer left field, while Alice skipped to the pitching base and Jasper was outer right field.
Edward, told me to bat first and handed me the bat, I looked at it and looked at Edward.
"What, am I suppose to do?" I asked, I knew baseball, I just never played and even though I am a vampire my co-ordination never seemed to improve.
"Just wait for Alice to throw the ball, and when the ball flies at you hit it" Edward explained, and I nodded my head and stood at my batting station.
This all happened so fast, Alice's hand didn't even move, did it? And the ball was flying towards me, I swung the bat and I missed by a mile.
I looked up and Emmett had his hand covering his mouth, trying to hide his laughter, and I looked around to see everyone else smiling at me.
I looked towards Edward "Help" I squeaked.
"Sure" Edward agreed.
He came to stand behind me and nudged my feet apart with his own. He put his arms around mine so he could also hold the bat with me. He moved my hands apart and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Ready?" He asked me.
"Ready" I agreed, and with that Alice through the ball and Edward and I swung the bat and hit the ball flying, the sound it made, was even louder than the thunder. The ball went on for ages and I just stood there.
"Bella, it might be a good time to run" Edward whispered in my ear, and nudged me forward.
"Right" I laughed and ran around the bases, by myself, as Edward would get a go by himself.
I made it to third base, the last base, only because I didn't start running straight away. Edward then had is go that got me in and Edward a home run. Emmett also gave a big enough swing, to just get him in, on a home run.
It was then our turn to field, and Rose was to bat first, and she hit the ball in my direction, but was going over my head. Run for it, catch it on the full. A voice said in my head. And I don't know why, but I agreed with it and started running towards the ball at full speed.
I don't know what happened really, but I went with my instincts, which lead me to jumping for the ball and catching it on the full, I bent my knees for the impact I would feel, falling back to the ground.
I really didn't know I had the ball until Edward ran up to me and picked me up and spun me around a couple of times, and placed a quick kiss on my lips, but I wanted more, so I deepened it.
We heard someone coughing in the background and I detached our lips to look up at Alice and everyone smiling at me.
Edward let go of me and took the ball from my hands, and backed away. I gave him a confused look, until Alice pounced on me and I fell to the ground.
"That, has got to be one of our best games, yet" Emmett boomed, while Rose slapped the back of his head.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing, felt like doing that" Rose answered back quickly.
"Maybe, you should be punished for that than, don't you think?" Emmett asked seductively. Rose giggled.
"Oh, get a room" Alice said, while pulling me off the ground.
"And not a room in our house, where we can hear you, and I don't have to read your thoughts" Edward shook his head disgusted.
"And a room far enough away, so I can't feel it" Jasper shuddered slightly.
I just looked around at everyone's face and laughed so hard, that I had to hold my sides.
"You think it's funny, Bella?" Edward asked while stalking towards me.
"Yes" I laughed even more, and backed away from Edwards stalking walk.
"Why is that funny, Bella?" He asked still walking towards me.
"Because, you should see all your faces, there so filled with disgust" I laughed, but backed up against a tree, I couldn't move back any further.
"That's because you have never heard them, or anyone, since you became vampire" Edward said, while putting his arms on either side of me, so I couldn't escape. He leaned down and kissed me passionately on the lips.
"I think use two need a room" Emmett yelled at us, while Rosalie nodded in agreement.
I let out a long sigh and untangled myself form Edward, even thought it took all my strength.
"Well Edward to answer your question, about not hearing anyone, you do know I live in a house with three couples, just like you?" I asked him and he nodded his head.
"Well, I do hear it too" I laughed and he joined in.
"Well, now we can class ourselves as a couple couldn't we?" he asked seductively, in his low but husky voice.
"Yes, we could" I sounded like I ran out of breath.
"Well…." He trailed of suggestively.
"Well, what?" I asked leaning my head in for a kiss.
"I think I should meet your family" He said while pulling away.
I was slightly confused, wasn't he suggesting something else, I shook my head, trying to get the dirty pictures out of my head.
"My family it is" I agreed and he smiled. Deep inside right now, I felt sick, it's like bringing you boyfriend home, to meet your dad for the very first time.
