It wasn't until I was halfway down the driveway when I heard someone behind me. I stopped and looked over my shoulder to see who it was. "Jacob." I gasped as he walked over to me. He took me in his arms and hugged me tightly. "Bells, you have to snap out of this. Time to come back to reality now." Jacob's voice was stern.
"Jake, I cant-" Jacob stopped me, and grabbed my shoulders and turned me around.
Edward stood 10 yards from me. His hands were reaching for me, his face torn between pain and worry.
Jacob's lips were at me ear, his hands tight on my upper arms as she stood behind me. "Does that look like someone who would hurt you like that? No, Bella. That man loves you so much it's sick. You know deep down inside that he wouldn't hurt you. I know that you know, you were born to love him. I have never seen 2 people as in love as you guys are. Whatever that witch did to you, that was the lie. The man standing in front of you, now that's the truth."
"What are you saying? What I saw with my own eyes was not true? It was true, Jake, I saw him, he kissed me the way he always kissed me. You trying to tell me I'm insane?"
Jacob laughed, "Yes, Bells, you are definitely insane."
Jacob loosened his grip, and I closed my eyes.
A new vision filled my head. I was in the same room, but when Edward walked through the door he carried Loretta in his arms, dead. He dropped her at my feet, and stepped over her grabbing my hips, and pressing his lips to mine. I opened my eyes, and smiled. Edwards body stayed tight, his hands moved so his palms were facing me, surrendering.
"I was never the one for you. We both know that, now. Go ahead, he wants you and only you." Jacob fully let go of me, and I was walking towards Edward. I picked up my pace, and moved to a flat out sprint towards him.
Edward caught me, and stumbled backwards from my weight being slammed into him, but he held me tight. "Edward, I'm so sorry! I'm so stupid, I can't-"
Edwards hand came up and covered my mouth. "Shut up." He smirked, and moved his hand sliding it down my arm, and clasped my waist. He crushed his lips to mine, and my body melted into his.
"That a girl." Jacob said patting my back as he walked up to us.
"Thanks, Jake." I smiled at him.
"No prob. Happy to be of service. Now if you two love birds don't mine, I have somewhere else to be." Jacob turned and jogged towards the house.
"I really am sorry." I said turning to face Edward again.
"Stop it. This was not your fault. She made you think it was true, the important thing is that you realized what was really the truth."
I was about to protest, but he stopped me. "Listen." He whispered smiling down at me.
I listened to the water running down the river, the birds chirping, but I knew that wasn't what he was talking about. I listened harder.
"Mommy." It came in a whisper, her tiny voice cracking.
"She's been asking for you since she first woke up." Emmett said as I walked into the house. He pulled me into a tight hug. "Welcome back little sis, we were worried about you."
"Thanks Emmett."
I continued down the line of my family members. Edward's hand protectively on my back, and I felt safe.
"Oh, Bella." Esme gasped as she threw her arms around me.
"I'm fine, really." I assured her.
"I was so worried! From now on you take 2 wolves, Edward and both of your brothers hunting with you. Got it?"
I laughed and rolled my eyes, "Yes, mom."
"Good." She winked.
I walked into Renesmee's room. Carlisle had moved her from his hospital setup in his office, to the comforts of her own room. Her TV was on, and she sat propped up against a mountain of pillows, her tiny arm wrapped in a cast. She sat shirtless with her torso wrapped tightly, and her head wrapped in gauze.
"My baby." I gasped as I flashed to her side.
"Momma!" Her voice screeched.
"What did she do to you, angel." My eyes took in all of her injuries.
Renesmee shrugged. "She never really touched me, this is just from the fall off the cliff. I don't heel as fast as you because I don't have the venom in my veins, but Grandpa says I'll be as good as new in a few days. My stupid cast has to stay on for a few more weeks though. Everyone signed it, and Alyssa drew pictures on it!" Renesmee's smile made all my fears and worries go away.
"I'm so glad your ok, but I'm sorry you have to be stuck in bed."
Renesmee laughed, and motioned for me to bend down.
I did as she asked, and she whispered into my ear. "It's kinda fun, alls I have to do is call anyone's name and they come running. I get whatever I want. I even made Uncle Emmett comb my dolls hair, and put bows in it."
I couldn't help but laugh. I turned to look at Emmett, and he just shrugged.
"Besides Jakey says I look even more like you now."
I crossed my arms and looked at Jacob sitting in the chair on the other side of Renesmee's bed. "Oh, yeah? How's that?"
Renesmee giggled, and wrapped her arm around her stomach. My hands moved frantically over her, not sure what to do.
"I'm ok…" She panted, "Just my rib." Renesmee relaxed, and Jacob chuckled.
Renesmee rolled her eyes. "Jakey thinks I'm now exactly like you because of my injuries. He said you've had stitches in your head, a broken hand, and broken ribs. Is it true?"
I narrowed my eyed at Jacob. He looked away biting his bottom lip trying to keep from laughing.
I sighed, "Yes, I've also had a broken leg too."
"So you were a klutz when you were human."
Everyone behind me burst out laughing.
"Something like that." I smirked.
"It's time." Carlisle said as he walked into the room.
Renesmee moaned.
"Don't give me that. You want to get better, right?" He asked taking a glass of water off her nightstand, and handing her a small pill. She popped it in her mouth and took the glass from Carlisle. She took a sip, and handed it back to him.
"Good girl." He smiled, and kissed her forehead before he unwrapped it to check her stitches.
Her eyes began to droop, and I stood to tuck her in. "Don't leave me." She whimpered half asleep.
"I'll be right in the other room. Jacob will stay with you tonight."
"He will?" Both Edward and Jacob said at the same time.
"Yes," I turned to look at Edward.
"Ok, ok." He said raising his hands in defense.
"You need anything just ask." I kissed her cheek.
Edward followed my motion, and we turned to walk out of the room. She was snoring lightly before we even made it to the door. Jacob leaned over playing with a strand of her hair.
Edward growled.
"Stop it, she's only 7."
"Technically she's 2." Edward said as we said goodnight to everyone and headed to our room.
I rolled my eyes.
As soon as we walked into the room Edward pulled me into his arms. "I'm so glad you're back." He whispered between kisses.
"Edward." I sighed, my body turning to jello under his touch.
"There is no other woman in this world that can make me feel the way you do. Every touch," Edward lifted my hand and kissed my fingertips, "every kiss," he swiped his lips across mine. "your scent, the way you taste…" Edward's voice trailed off as I pressed his lips to mine.
I moved us to the bed, taking control for once. I laid him down, and crawled onto of him. Within seconds I shredded our clothes, and bent down to kiss his neck. "Just so we got one thing straight… all this," I wrapped myself around him and rolled so he was on top of me. I locked my legs around his hips. "It's all mine."
Edward laughed against my neck. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Good." I pulled his head up, and his lips found mine.
