Hey guys :)

How about I don't mention where I had been for 3 months... (starts hiding... :) )

ANYWAY! My birthday is coming soon! June 19!

TayBee as always... who else? Gotta love her...

Disclaimer; You better believe I do... (OW!) ok. ok, I don't. Happy now?

APOV

Almost a month had passed, but here we were again.

Another family meeting.

Another argument over the same question: do we tell her or not? What is best for Bella?

Part of me has always wanted to keep this a secret from Bella. She would never worry about herself. She would only worry that this stalker is making me worry. She has been so happy the last month, because she hasn't received one letter. She has been safe, sleeping through the nights. Do we really need to worry her about this? This sick man hasn't shown any signs of acting on his threats.

The other part of me strongly believes it is better to be safe than sorry.

Edward looks like a mess. I can tell he is beating himself up. He has even more to consider than I do in this internal battle. He doesn't even feel comfortable without Bella in his sight. Poor guy.

"What are we going to do?" asked Esme softly. She looked heartbroken, admitting that he was back, but we all knew someone has to acknowledge the problem.

"We have to decide if we should tell her." Jasper stated. He was always the calm one in the tough situations.

"We shouldn't tell her! Are you all kidding?" screamed Emmett. Thankfully Bella wasn't home.

"Emmett, we need to look at the pros and cons of the situation. We have to take her safety into matter." Jasper said calmly.

Edward growled just enough to draw my attention. He looked like he was about to attack Jasper.

"Calm down Edward, I know no one can touch her while you're around." Jasper stressed the last three words.

Everyone looked at him. Edward and Bella were hardly ever apart.

I knew it was only moments until Edward flew at Jasper.

"Edward calm down. Listen to what he has to say." Esme said. She was looking at Jasper, telling him to go on.

"Think about it. We can't always have her under out watchful eye. Think of how she just left that one night for the beach. Then think about this guy. He disappeared for a month. Who knows what he planned." Jasper spoke calmly, softly, slowly, as if what he was saying was a fairy-tale, as if none of this was real.

Edward sank back in the couch. We all let that sink in.

Jasper continued, "Now I think we should take a vote. Carlisle, you start."

"I say we have to tell her." He answered, looking at Edward.

"I agree." Esme said.

"I don't want to, but I think you're right, Jasper. We need to tell her." Said Emmett.

"I see no other choice." I answered.

We all looked to Rosalie who was crying in the corner.

"No." was all she said. Emmett went to comfort her. "I just, don't want to hurt her."

"What else can we do Rose? We have to keep her safe." Edward soothed.

She mouthed the word 'nightmares' to me. I understood that she didn't want to give Bella those nightmares again. This has been the longest time Bella has slept through nights, and we don't want to ruin it for her.

"Rose we have to…" I answered reluctantly, because hurting Bella would never be easy.

I was driving to the studio, a new song already bouncing around in my head. It was about love. They all were, now days.

As I turned, the sunlight caught my ring, sending a cascade of sparkles around my car. I smiled, looking at the beautiful ring I hardly ever took off.

I still thought it was pretty weird that he didn't give it to me in person, but I still thought it was just as romantic. He never mentioned it, either.

I pulled up to the studio, and walked in the back door, ready to sing my heart out.

Before I knew it, it was time to go home. I had no idea I already spent two hours here! Time really flies…

I was walking to my car, when I noticed a bouquet of bluebells sitting on my windshield.

What…?

I spun around, but I didn't see Edward's car anywhere, and I didn't hear anyone come in. Maybe someone got the wrong car?

Yeah, right. Rose made me get a limited edition car that's only available in Europe…

They do smell lovely. I picked up the flowers and tossed them in my passenger seat. I would ask Rose about them.

RPOV

I felt my phone vibrate. I was afraid to answer it, because no one has said a word in the last five minutes. You could cut the tension with a knife.

I opened my phone anyway. It's not like I was going to be doing anything until Bella came home.

It was a text from Bella.

I'm on my way home.

By the way, did any of you put a bouquet or bluebells on my car windshield? Thanks!

See you in five minutes!

Bluebells… on… a… windshield…

I didn't realize I was hyperventilating until Emmett gave me a paper bag and Alice took my phone.

Alice read the text and gasped, and Edward took the phone.

He was holding it so hard he broke it in half. He looked freaking murderous.

He pulled out his phone and I assumed he called Bella.

"Bella, you need to get here NOW!" I can tell he was trying to control his emotions so he wouldn't scare Bella.

"I'm outside Edward…" I vaguely heard Bella say before Edward ran outside to retrieve her.

He came in a second later and sat Bella down on the couch while Alice was telling everyone else about the text and the bluebells.

"What's going on?" Bella asked, as she placed herself in Edward's lap.

"Bella, he's back." Edward was obviously not able to continue, so Jasper did for him.

"Your stalker, Bella. He is back, sending letters again, maybe even sending more. We think he is more serious this time."

I expected at least some tears, maybe some panic, but I was thoroughly surprised.

"You guys don't need to take this guy seriously. He has never followed up on his threats." She put her hand to her heart. "Believe me, I can take care of myself, I've been through worse." She said simply. She smiled, and the sun caught her figure, sending sparkles around the room.

"Bella, where did you get that ring?" asked Edward.
