EmPOV

We stayed in my room for a couple of hours. I told her about vampirism, our way of life concerning out diet, and our "powers." She seemed generally intrigued by everything, but with everything I told her I got more and more afraid that she'd change her mind. But she hardly flinched about anything I told her just took it in, asked questions, and accepted the answers.

"Why are you being so cool about this?" I finally asked her as I played with her hand. My arm was wrapped around her waist holding her close, and our fingers were intertwined resting on her stomach.

"Because…" She sighed. "Because I love you, and you won't hurt me." She moved a little closer to me letting her head rest against my chest. "Besides, it's not as scary as some people would think."

I chuckled. "Really?"

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not as scary as you many think."

"How so?"

"You survive on animals. You make that sacrifice, so you won't be a murderer. You're in control if you weren't I wouldn't be able to be so close to you."

"I could still lose control."

She tilted her head to look at me. "I know, but you won't." She reached up and pushed my hair away from my face.

"How are you so sure?"

"I just am."

"You're amazing."

"Emmett." I heard Carlisle from downstairs.

"They're calling for us." I sighed and looked down at Bella. She smiled at me.

"Let's go." I picked her up bridal style and carried her towards the stairs. I went down them a little faster than a human could but not too fast since I didn't want to scare her.

As soon as we walked into the living room, they were all grinning at us. I rolled my eyes at them and sat down on the couch keeping Bella in my lap.

"You guys are so cute!" Esme said grinning like crazy. Bella blushed furiously and buried her face in my neck in embarrassment, which only made everyone laugh.

"Aw, don't be embarrassed. It's adorable!" Alice giggled as she jumped up and down like the energizer bunny on crack.

"Calm down, Alice." I warned. She rolled her eyes and continued grinning like an idiot. Sighing, I looked down at Bella. Her head was laid against my shoulder, and she was thinking about something. I heard a soft gasp and looked up to see Alice in a daze. She was having a vision. Worry and anticipation washed over me as I held Bella tighter. She looked up at me curiously, but I didn't answer her silent question. Edward stared at us wide-eyed then at Alice.

In an instant, Alice snapped out of her vision and was at mine and Bella's side in a second. She sat down on her knees right in front of Bella, and from the look on her face, I think she'd be crying if she could.

"What's wrong, Alice?" Bella asked.

"Emmett told you about my visions, right?" She nodded. "I just had one."

"Okay…?" Bella replied.

"Bella, who's Phil?" She whispered.

Short. I know. More soon… hopefully.
