I hoped that what I was doing was right. Edward had warned me several times about what he would do if something happened to me. I kept on reassuring him as he pondered on what to do next. I knew if I took the first step then he might follow so I took off my shirt. He turned his head from me. I placed my hands on his face and turned his head to look at me.
"Edward I promise you will not hurt me. Rosalie and Carlisle are here to help you and me" I said softly trying to sound reassured.
"You were never alone" he asked. I shook her head. "Then Alice lied to me."
"No everything she said she saw, but no one left me" I said. "I knew you would come here to watch me" I continued.
"If it hurts I will stop. I will not hurt you more than I need to" he said. I nodded my head to him in understanding.
"Remember Edward swallow the venom" Rosalie said as she and Carlisle had entered the room. It was his turn to nod his head. He kissed me again on the lips and then moved to my breast. His lips were now right above where my heart was fluttering so fast. He kissed the spot several times. I was in heaven just having him this close to me,
"Okay Bella. Please hold still. I love you" he said lacing his mouth at the spot.
"I love you too Edward" I whispered as I felt him sink his teeth into my flesh. I wondered how my blood tasted to him. I don't know how long he drank from me, but I never did feel a burning pain like I did when James bit me. I felt weak and started to pass out. I tried so hard to stay awake to make sure he didn't feel like a monster, but I feel under.

I felt sick after drinking from my Bella, but I also felt better. I moved one of my hands to my stomach and felt the wound closing. I don't know how long I had been drinking from her, but I felt the exact moment she fell unconscious. It broke my spirit so I stopped. I pulled away from her and held her close to me.
"Edward let me check Bella" Carlisle said as he moved toward us. I nodded my head and laid her softly on the bed. Rosalie came closer to us, sitting down on the bed next to me.
"Edward you did the right thing. Bella will be alright. She wanted to help you desperately. She hated to see you hurt" Rosalie whispered as she placed her hand on my stomach.
"Bella is fine. She passed out from the short amount of blood, but will be alright in a little while. Let me check you out Edward" he said softly. I nodded my head and Rosalie moved her hand away. "Well you seem to be healed up. I think Rosalie and I will leave you and Bella alone. See you at home son" he said as they both left. I had Bella all to myself.

I knew I had passed out, but I also knew Edward was right beside me. My thoughts lingered on the events that led up to this moment; Edward leaving me, Rosalie and Esme helping me, to Victoria bringing Aro to the Cullen's, Edward fighting Victoria and getting hurt. I came to the point where I realized Edward loved me too damn much. He would do just about anything to keep me safe.
My eyes started to open as I realized there was a streak of light entering my bedroom window. I looked around me until I saw Edward hunched over at my desk. He was reading from something. I got up very quietly, making my way to the end of the bed and jumped at him. When he turned around to catch me Edward had turned into Victoria and she bit me throwing me into the wall. I started screaming.
"Bella wake up your dreaming everything is alright. Your safe and I'm here with you" Edward said calmly as I opened my eyes for real this time. I leaped into his arms and starting crying. I was so thankful it was just a bad dream. "Were you dreaming about Victoria" he asked quietly. I nodded my head into his shoulder. I felt him stiff up a little bit. He held me for a while as I cried. I heard the front door open and then close.
"Bella you home" asked Charlie as he made his way up to my room. He stopped short as he saw Edward holding me in my bra and underwear. I glanced at him and saw that he was seething pissed. I pulled away from Edward and grabbed the sheet off of the bed.
"Dad it's not what you think. Edward came here this morning after his family moved back here this weekend. It's a small world Rosa is actually related to Esme. When Edward heard from his cousin he came here this morning to see if he could help me. I guess I was having a nightmare because I was screaming and so he came in to see if I was alright" I said trying to sound normal. My dad just looked at me and then at Edward.
"Bella get dressed and then join Edward and me downstairs. Edward come downstairs so that we can talk" Charlie kind of demanded. They both left me to get dressed.
(EPOV)
I wasn't thinking about my surroundings or even listening to the outside world the only thing that mattered to me was Bella. I heard the front door open and close. Before I could even pull away from Bella, Charlie was in her bedroom doorway. His thoughts were livid as was his face. What the hell does that boy think he's doing here? He left her to die in the woods and he had the nerve to show up in this house again. Shit! He's holding my baby in her undergarments. I'm going to kill this piece f garbage and make sure he doesn't worm his way back into my little girls' heart.
I didn't blame him for being mad at me. I did leave Bella. Bella pulled away from me and tried to cover up with the sheet off of her bed.
"Dad it's not what you think. Edward came here this morning after his family moved back here this weekend. It's a small world Rosa is actually related to Esme. When Edward heard from his cousin he came here this morning to see if he could help me. I guess I was having a nightmare because I was screaming and so he came in to see if I was alright" she said trying to sound very normal. Her dad just looked at her and then at me.
His thoughts seemed to relax. Okay maybe it's not what it looks like. I shouldn't jump to any conclusions. Hell it is a small world if Rosa is Esme's niece. She sure was a life savior for me. He then proceeded to remember how broken Bella was when I left. Everything that happened to Bella in the time since I left her he brought to mind. I felt sick knowing that me leaving her hurt her so badly.
"Bella get dressed and then join Edward and me downstairs. Edward come downstairs so that we can talk" Charlie kind of demanded. We both left her so that she could get dressed. He led the way into the living room. "Have a seat Edward. I want to know what happened. Mostly why are you back" he said rudely.
"The day I left Bella and I went on a walk. I told her my family was leaving. She asked me to run away with her, I told her she needed to stay here for you. I left her on the edge of the forest. I thought she might want to be alone so I left. My family was moving because Esme got a job in California. I wanted to stay here with Bella, but I knew how much my family meant. When we got there all of my family missed Bella. My mom though didn't like her job enough to make the rest of us suffer. My dad called Forks Hospital to see if he could get his job back. Our house never sold so we moved back. My cousin had been hiding that she lived here, so when we saw her and her mom at our house I put two and two together. She told me everything that happened to Bella. I ran into her last night at our house, but she wanted to come home. She said we could talk later so I thought I'd see if we could talk. I heard her screaming thinking something bad was happening I came in. She jumped into my arms and cried. You walked in right after that" I said sounding very normal.
"How did you get here?" Charlie asked. I hadn't realized I didn't bring my car.
"My dad dropped me off on his way to the hospital" I said looking at Bella as she came down the stairs.
"Dad are you done with interrogating Edward" she asked looking madly at her dad.
"Bella I don't trust him. He left you and I'm just worried that you might get hurt again" he half whispered to her. She smiled and laughed.
"Don't worry. When his sisters Rosalie and Alice found out he just up and left me, they gave him a piece of their mind" she said smiling at her dad.
"Oh really, he didn't mention that to me" he said as he turned to eye me up. Great Bella was going to enjoy getting back at me.
"It wasn't too bad Charlie. They made me go shopping with them for a week" I said which of course Alice did make me do.
"So what re your feelings toward Bella and her child" Charlie then blurted out.
"Dad" Bella yelled.
"What he did know about it? I want to know if he's here for the long run or not. I will not allow him to ruin you like he did before. I want you to be safe and sound" he said looking back at me.
"I will be here for Bella as long as she wants me. I will not leave her side unless she asks me to leave. I also plan on asking her to marry me. I will be here all the way" I said looking carefully at me and then at Bella.
"That's all I wanted to know. I want to make sure someone is looking out for her" he said with a small smile playing on his face.
"Oh dad Rosa and her mom are leaving tomorrow. She told me to tell you she's going to miss you" Bella said looking sad.
"Are you going to be okay? I mean she is your best friend" he asked her.
"Yeah, I will keep I touch with her, but I also have all the rest of the Cullen's here to keep me company and all" she said bending down to kiss her dad. I would always take care of her no matter what.
I couldn't believe how fast things were going, Christmas break ended so fast and now it was pushing on to spring break. My family had been keeping an eye out for Victoria. Charlie had made it a mission to get to know my family very well. It was hard to hide the vampire part of our lives from him. Aro had said he would check up on the issue during spring break which would be in a couple of days. I was glad to because Bella didn't look like she could stand going to school much longer. She was sick a lot and the baby was growing fast. Aro told us he wanted to see her again before she gave birth. Bella though has been a great trooper.
She divides her time between Alice, Rosalie and me. She spends time with the rest of the family but mostly the three of us. Charlie has grown fond of Rosalie saying how she reminds him of Rosa. I laugh sometimes when he says this. He has gone fishing with Carlisle and Emmett. Jasper though still tries to keep his distance. Esme loves his help when he comes over with tasting the food she cooks. It seems things have calmed down.
(POV)
The Cullen's think their lives are oh so perfect. Well I'm going to teach them a lesson or two about losing someone they love. I lost someone at their hands and now I will take one of them to replace that person. I don't care about our rules. If they don't have to follow them then I won't either. Hell has no fury like a women's scorn. My justice will tear this family apart. There is no one they can blame, but themselves. Then I will take care of any loose ends through Aro and his family.
A/N Hope you liked it. I was struggling on what to write. Next chapter has Aro returning and Charlie finding out a secret. How will he handle the truth? I didn't reach the 105 I wanted so let's try to reach it this time. Thanks for reading.~~jaymelynn
