And Ii'm back, sorry for the very, very long delay. Enjoy, I'll try update soon. Remember to Review...XxX

"Bella," I started again, taking a deep breath I continued "Please tell me what is wrong; I don't care what it is just tell me." By the look in her eyes I could tell this isn't what she was expecting me to say, she dropped her gaze to the bed and was silent for a moment, her fingers playing with the ring on her left hand. Twisting it around, and around her finger. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, I gently lifted her face so I could see her eyes. She took a deep breath before speaking "Edward I can't let you tear up you family like this but..."

"..but I can't live without you. I know Jacob has shown you what I was like when you left me. Knowing this time it was my choice might have made it a little easier but I don't think I can go through that again." I said my voice quivering near the end.

"Bella, but don't you see you don't have to go through that again. I will always be here for you, as long as you need me." His eyes blazed with determination and love, making my stomach squirm uncomfortably

"that's exactly the problem, my problem... you will always be there for me, but what about me being there for you when you need me. I need to be the lion some time as well, not always the lamb you know" I took a deep breath watching his eyes narrow slightly, wondering where I was going with this.

"what are you getting at Bella? You want to be able to save me some time? Do I need to remind you of how you foolishly put your life in extreme danger when you flew to Italy to save me from the Volturi? I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you..." He said leaving the sentence unfinished, both of us knowing it was true. He moved so he was sitting next to me, pulling me onto his lap. His cold touch more comforting to me than anything else I've experienced or yet to experience. We stayed in the comforting silence, his even breathing a lullaby on its own. My heart beat slowing down to its normal rate, knowing that's what he's focusing on.

"Edward?" I ask softy disturbing the silence but I wasn't finished.

"Yes love?" he asked his tone matching mine, clearly reluctant to break the silence

"Is Rosalie and Emmett still here?" I ask not hearing anything from downstairs, but not having heard a car leave either

"Yes, they are still packing. Why, you're not leaving I'm not letting you?" He asked raising one eyebrow in confusing looking down at me

"well...I've been thinking. The whole problem started with me being human..."

"Bella" Edward interrupted me seeing where this was headed.

"No Edward just listen to me, if you just change me none of this will matter. Jasper doesn't have to feel ashamed in his own house, doesn't have to deal with having to control his thirst very second of everyday, Rosalie and Emmett don't have to leave and I won't be breaking up this family" I said feeling Edward tense under me at the last part

"Bella for the last time you are not breaking up the family and I will be damned before I change you just because Rosalie is jealous" he said his temper flaring like I knew it would eventually

"Fine" I snapped getting out of his lap and moving towards the door, he was too stunned by my outburst to stop me. I reached the stairs before he grabbed my waist.

"Edward" I growled "Let me go" I tensed waiting for him to let me go. When he didn't let go I turned around into him, looking up at his face I saw he was smirking. "This isn't funny Edward!" I said avoiding his gaze.

"I Know, I'm sorry" he said trying to compose himself. "You're just so cute when you mad" he said failing at trying to look serious, having a bigger smile on his face than before. "Edward...." I said trailing of not entirely hating him calling me cute, when I realised he's managed to distract me again.

"Alice?" I called with a sigh of frustration

"They'll be ready in 5 minutes Bella, it would be better if you let Edward in on the plan. Trust me..." Alice called the last bit sounding more like a threat than a warning to me

"Let me in on what plan, Bella?" Edward asked clearly frustrated at not being able to read my mind, and Alice clearing doing a good job blocking hers.

"What is she thinking about to keep you out? I asked him meeting his gaze

"You don't want to know, and don't change the subject. What plan?" he demanded in a low voice

"If I tell you, you can't try to stop me and you have to listen and not interrupt me until I have finished explaining, promise? I asked tilting my head to the side awaiting his answer

"yes?" Edward said after a while, making it sound like a question

"okay" I sigh not knowing where to begin

"Bella he didn't promise" Alice yelled to me from the other room

I could see Edwards mouth moving but couldn't hear what he was saying. I heard Alice giggling and knew he was threatening her, and then a growl meaning he moved on to threatening her car instead.

"Okay Bella I promise" Edward said against his better judgement, glaring towards the room I assumed Alice was in.

"If I tell you, you can't try stop me and you have to listen and not interrupt me till I have finished explaining, promise? Bella said to me, I knew it would be something bad. I was silent thinking it over, what could she possibly tell me that I'd want to stop her from doing? My mind jumped immediately to Jacob...Alice still has visions I reasoned with myself.

"yes?" I said after a little while, hoping she'd leave it at that and ignore the fact that I didn't promise.

"okay" Bella said with a sigh, clearly tired

"Bella he didn't promise" Alice yelled to me from the other room stopping her from starting

I can't believe... "Alice..." I growled too low for Bella to hear. "Mind your own business. I do remember giving you and Jasper privacy. Blocking you out whenever you asked..." I said my tone deadly and threatening but all I got was her giggling at my threats. "Just remember who gave you that car, the same person who could take it away just as easily" I snapped at her.

"You wouldn't!" she growled at me, not as confident as she was before

"Try me" I replied, she knew I wasn't bluffing. My response was met with silence so I turned back to Bella.

"Okay Bella I promise" I said against my better judgement, glaring towards the room I assumed Alice was in.

"I want to have a family meeting; I have the solution to solve everyone's problems. To keep us all together... as a family" Bella told me in a rush, all in one breath.
