A/N Thanks so much for the wonderful reviews, you guys are awesome :D

Rescued.

Chapter 11.

Wednesday.

I woke up early, Nessie was still fast asleep beside me, and Edward was sleeping with his arms around me, I had slept with my head on his chest. His words from last night coming back to me. "Probably because you are the only one who doesn't realise there is one." he'd said, I analysed and re-analysed the sentence until my stomach growled at me. So I was the only one that didn't realise that there would be a problem with Rose, well I was pretty sure there would be, quite frankly I wanted to mess her up for what she had done to Edward. If she so much as says anything to me I'll probably snap, I just wanted what was best for Edward, and he didn't need her trying to control him.

I needed to get up and get to the bathroom, but as I tried to pull away out of Edwards arms, he woke up instantly. "No... don't." he said, pulling me to him, then he opened his eyes, I was starting at him in shock.

"I need the bathroom, Edward." I said, his breathing had become frantic the moment I had tried to move away. "What's wrong?" I ask pulling away enough to sit up, I cupped his face with my hands, "Edward what is it?"

"I.. um.. I was having a bad dream." he admitted not looking at me.

"About?" I asked.

"I don't think you're ready to hear that yet." he said.

What the hell did that mean? "Look I'll be right back okay, I'm just going to the bathroom for a minute. He nodded and I got up. I wonder what that was all about, he was acting very odd, though he'd been doing that since last night, he didn't seemed nearly as at ease with me as before, though on saying that, I'd only met him about thirty six hours ago.

After cleaning up and brushing my teeth I went back into the bedroom to find Edward leaning back against the headboard, he looked as though he was in deep thought.

"So?" I said.

"So... what?" he asked.

"So just tell me or I will just end up imagining something far worse." I told him.

He sighed then looked at me sheepishly. "I had a bad dream." he said and I waited for him to elaborate, after a long pause he sighed again. "It was Sunday... and you were about to leave... I didn't want you to go." he said, I tried not to react, part of me was rejoicing and the other part was breaking at his statement, he didn't want me to leave in his dream. "I don't want you to go at all." he said.

"But you know that I don't have a choice." I said.

"Is that why you seem so blind to my attraction to you, because you'll be leaving soon?" he asked. I so didn't want to have this conversation, I didn't want to be forced to admit my feelings, I wasn't sure I could handle that, this was all too soon. "Bella please talk to me."

"I think so." I wasn't really blind to it, I just was afraid of his attraction, its something that can't last and I really don't think my heart could take the loss of him not now, let alone if he meant even more to me.

"Bella, Nessie adores you, my whole family does, that alone is enough for me to adore you too, but I know its more than that Bella, and I am begging you to please, can we just try and see if we can be more than just friends?" he asked.

"How much more are you asking?" I whispered.

"What ever you are prepared to give me." he said. "But Bella, it would be a crime if I never get to kiss you again." he said getting up. "Just think about it, okay." he said and went into the bathroom.

Was I really up to being hurt again? I had a feeling that that hurt would be a lot worse coming from Edward than it was from Jake, deep down I hadn't been that surprised that Jake didn't really love me. But why was I looking at it that way, didn't I deserve a little bit of happy? would it be so bad to try and enjoy being happy for a few days? or was the hurt that it would have to end too much?

Edward came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed next to me taking my hand. "I really don't want to get hurt again either Bella, and I certainly don't want to see that little angel right there go through any more pain, and yes the idea of you leaving us is more than I can bare to think about. But I am willing to take that risk if you are." he said. Threading his fingers through mine, his eyes probing into mine, desperately trying to read my thoughts. Could I do this? Should I get closer than I already was? I felt his hand on my face, his face coming closer, slowing gauging my reaction, not even blinking as he moved so close to my face, then he stopped, his lips less than an inch from mine, his breaths rapid, his lips parted, it was too much and I closed the gap, my lips pressing against his, he released my hand and his hands moved, one to my back holding me in place the other into my hair, pulling me closer.

I felt his tongue on my lips, and my tongue darted out in greeting and instantly deepened the kiss, he pulled me onto his lap so that I was sat straddling him. His tongue explored my mouth and I moaned with pleasure as he rocked his hips into mine, causing the most delicious friction, I was positively panting with need for this man, just from his kiss. We felt movement on the bed and both froze, and stared panicked at each other.

"You yook yike mamma and daddy." a sleepy voice spoke breaking the silence. Causing me to almost fall on the floor as I jumped off Edwards lap, the only reason I didn't was because Edward caught me.

"I'm sorry sweetie, I didn't mean to upset you." I said, damn my stupid need, this had been a stupid idea, Pumpkin was the last person in the world I'd want to hurt.

"No... I yike it, day aways appy when day did dat." she said and the relief on Edwards face mirrored my own.

"So you don't mind if Bella and I kiss like that?" Edward asked her.

"No... I said I yike it, can I ave bwekfast I ungry." she said getting up and skipping to the bathroom.

I stared at Edward in shock, and slowly a smile began to stretch across his face, I blew out a shaky breath and slumped onto the bed. "Hey," Edward said rolling me over. "I wasn't done kissing you." he said and my lips parted in anticipation, his lips instantly on mine and his tongue caressing mine.

"Bwekfast." Pumpkin sang as she came out of the bathroom.

"We'll have to finish this later." I said.

"Finish..? don't you mean continue, I have no intention of finishing." he said smirking as he got up and pulled me up off the bed. I shook my head at him, but couldn't hold back the silly smile on my face. Boy could that man kiss, I was definitely up for more of that.

"Okay, continue then." I agreed, Pumpkin go and find some clothes to wear and I'll be with you as soon as I'm dressed."

"Kay..." she said and danced across the room.

"I'll see you down stairs." I said to Edward.

"Wild horses couldn't keep me away." he said kissing my lips chastely before catching up with Pumpkin and scooping her up in his arms, she squealed with delight and he put her over his shoulder and ran out of the room with her, I could hear her giggling and squealing all the way along the hall.

A/N Finally! Hope you enjoyed that one ;)
