CH 26-A New Nightmare

I had a different nightmare tonight. It wasn't about the night he killed Renee, it was about him coming here to Forks, and killing my family. Alice's poor tiny body was all cut up, and Edward.....my Adonis. I woke everyone in the house up with my screaming. Edward held me until I got sick, and that's where we were, him holding my hair, when everyone else rushed into the room to find us.

"Bella....sweetie. What's wrong?" I heard Esme's frantic and worried voice say from my position over the toilet, where I was currently emptying my stomach. Emmett explained about my nightmares, and the aftermath, to the two that didn't already know. Edward helped me stand so I could brush my teeth, and made everyone go in his room. When I was done we left the bathroom to face everyone.

"Bella.....this isn't normal, it's not healthy. You should've told me sooner. I can get you some sleeping pills, they should help." Carlisle offered, sadness and a bit of anger showing on his face.

"No thanks. I don't like pills. I'm fine, This is only the second time I've had a nightmare since Edward and I started sleeping together." I told him, then I realised what I said. "Oh! Not like that. We just sleep in the same bed." Then I remembered they didn't know about that yet.

"How long has that been going on?" Esme asked, with only a hint of disapproval.

"A while." Edward answered, as if he wasn't telling his parents he sneaks into his girlfriends room every night! Carlisle and Esme seemed to accept it, and even promised not to tell Charlie right away.

"I'm sorry I woke you guys up."

"Don't be. I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this. Just know that we're all here for you, Bella. You're our family." Esme wrapped me in a comforting hug, and kissed Edward's cheek before leaving the room, taking all the other 'kids' with her.

"Bella, I think you should talk to someone about this." Carlisle said firmly.
I laughed, "That's exactly what Jasper suggested. I just....can't right now. Especially now, that all this has happened. I will....later. This summer or something, okay?" I compromised.

"Okay, but for now, I'm prescribing you a small sedative, to help you sleep. You will take them, or I will tell Charlie about my son's little sleepovers at your house." He threatened.

"But that's like....extortion!!" I said, surprised Carlisle would resort to such measures.

"It's the only thing I can threaten you with. This is for your health, Bella. It's important, please don't fight with me."

"Okay" I agreed, clearly defeated. He looked triumphant as he left the room. Edward pulled me back to the bed and laid down behind me.

"This was different." He said knowingly. "Do you want to tell me about it?" I had told Edward about the other nightmare when he asked me a few weeks ago, and he knew how that one bothered me, I guess he could see the pure terror I was feeling portrayed on my face.

"He....he came back, and he k-k-" a broken sob came out and I turned to Edward's chest. "It was so horrible. You and Alice. All of my family. He killed you! ALL of you! Because of me.....I can't let that happen, Edward. I WON'T."
"Shhh....Bella" he cooed, "Nothing's going to happen to any of us. You're safe, we're safe. Don't worry. We can take care of ourselves...and we'll take care of you. Just, sleep now my love...."

OMG OMG....PLEASE PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!!
