Previously: "Fine," he said, "Remember, don't start thinking your all smart. You're not getting away from me this time." He said smiling a wicked smile.
That's what he thinks.
Bella's POV:
Today is the day I'm going to be annoying as hell. It's the third day of Mr. I'm-so-smart-I'm-going-to-kidnap-Bella-and-think-she's-going-to-fall-back-in-love-with-me's kidnap mission. Still no sign of Edward coming and getting me but I'll be waiting. Babies are still going well, the only thing is the morning sickness but that's not such a shocker. That has happened from the very beginning.
I haven't tried getting away again either, I don't want to risk anything. Jake has been taking me places around Italy. Nothing too famous but a few museums and some really yummy restaurants, they were interesting but I couldn't enjoy myself 100 percent of the time for obvious reasons. I just want to get home, so today I'm going to try to annoy the hell outa Jacob. I don't know everything I'm going to do but I do know one thing, I'm going to be stubborn.
I was sitting on the chair flipping through channels as Jake was sleeping. Then I had an idea for my first annoying act. I turned on the music channel and turned it up extremely loud and started singing along with the music in the worst voice I could conjure up. The song was Second Chance by Shinedown—one of my favorite songs. "Sometimes good-bye is a second chance!" I shrieked loudly as the song ended.
Jake sat up at my shriek and cried, "What the hell was that? A cat dying?"
I pouted and stuck my bottom lip out, "No," I said shaking my head, "I was singing."
"Well get some lessons," he said as he put his hand on the back of his head, "So, what do you want to do today?"
I pretended to think about this just as the song Fire Burning by Sean Kingston came on, "Sing!" I squealed like Alice would have. He shook his head, "Yes." I said and started singing along. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and my heart started beating fast. Could Edward be there, or anyone to get me out, I thought about this then turned the TV down and said, "I'll get it."
"I'm watching," Jake said looking in my direction as I nodded and headed for the door.
There was a young lady about 25 standing there in a hotel uniform, "Uh, sorry to bother you but we've been getting a few complaints about noise coming from this room." I frowned; she wasn't here to help me.
My face reddened in a blush, "I'm s-s-sorry, I was just having some f-fun with singing. I'll b-be quiet."
She nodded and I could've sworn she whispered, "That was singing?" as she left.
I turned towards Jake, "I guess singing is off the list of stuff to do…..what if you take me to another museum? I'd like that." I had some ideas for this.
He shrugged, "Fine with me, there's a nice one about a half hour away from here. That okay with you?"
I nodded, "Yep, perfectly okay." I smiled as he grabbed my wrist and led me to the car.

At the Museum
"Ooooh, this is pretty!" I exclaimed to an art sculpture mounted on a tall mound. "Very…." I thought about a word to describe it, "Colorful."
Jake chuckled, "Yep, very colorful," he looked at it for a minute then said, "I'll be right back, don't do anything stupid okay? I have to go to the bathroom and obviously I can't take you in there."
I nodded, "I'll stay right here," I said as I sat down on a bench and crossed my arms over my chest. He nodded quickly and scurried off to the bathroom. I turned around and saw that he was gone then I started humming to myself. I looked down to the floor not having anything better to do and saw my cell phone from Jake's pocket right there in the middle of the floor. Without Jake around……….
The bathroom wasn't even on the same floor as the one I'm on…….it would take him at least five minutes to get there and come back. I quickly got the phone and dialed Edward's number. It didn't take long to get an answer, "Bella?" he answered frantically.
A tear slid down my face, "Edward, it's me! Jake dropped my phone when he went to the bathroom; I can't talk long though," I then whispered quietly, "He has a gun."
"He has a what?" Edward yelled, "Don't worry, I'm on a plane right now to Italy, god Bella I miss you, your okay and everything right?"
"Oh Edward! I miss you too, I love you so much, and yeah, we are at a hotel called Bella Luna on the center of forty—" I started but had to stop, I looked back and saw Jake coming at me, "I got to go, Jake's coming, I think he saw me."
I was just about to hang up when I heard Edward yell, "Okay, whatever you do, don't do anything that will make him shoot! I'll get you." And I shut the phone and threw it across the floor.
He came and sat next to me, "Everything okay, you look sort of shaken up?"
I laughed without humor, "Yeah, I'm perfectly fine." I looked over to the phone and then remembered I didn't take away the call history! I don't think he saw me on the phone because he hasn't said anything but he'll be able to see I called Edward from the history! He better not see my phone lying there!
"W-well, lets go look at something else." I said grabbing his hand and trying to pull him up. God is he heavy! My eyes kept flashing towards the phone lying on the floor.
"Okay, okay, what's the rush Bells?" he asked.
"N-nothing, I just want to s-s-see everything!" I said and pulled his hand again, "Come on, l-lets go!" He chuckled and came along.
I thought we were all good with the phone until I hear someone behind me with an Italian accent call, "Miss! Miss, I think you dropped your phone." I froze instantly and Jake did as well when he felt me stop. "I saw you talking on it; I didn't think you'd want to leave without it."
I turned around and saw the man had a genuine smile, he really thought he was doing something good for me. I smiled mechanically and took the phone, "Yeah, its m-mine. Thank you." He nodded and walked the other way.
I looked up to see Jake's expression and it was blank, he grabbed the cell out of my hand and growled, "Museum time is done!" he put the cell back into his pocket and grabbed my hand. While squeezing it tightly he pulled me along with him, it was hard to keep up-he has a lot longer legs than I do.
I stumbled on behind him as he raced us out of the front doors. Once we got in the car he yelled at me, "What the hell was that for? Who the hell did you call?" he was clutching the steering wheel ten times tighter than he had too to keep a good grip.
"N-n-no one." I stuttered. I could tell he didn't believe me. That guy……..I groaned to myself.
"You do know I can just check the call history? If I have to look at the history without you telling me, things will get a lot worse, understand?" He was staring straight ahead, almost as if he was deep in thought.
My hands automatically found the bump of my babies, "Edward." I mumbled, almost inaudible.
"Who?" he asked as he brushed back his hair with one hand.
"Edward!" I screamed, "Can you hear me now?" Wow, don't know where that came from, I liked it though, good to feel tough—something I'm not.
"You called Edward?" he asked his tone pretty calm, "Not something I'm surprised about, that was my first guess after all." I looked at him and gave him my most disgusted expression. I snorted and then turned my attention to the great outdoors.
There were people everywhere; people having fun with the ones they love. There were kids with their parents talking walks and eating ice cream cones, there were couples walking hand-in-hand. I then saw a young couple about my age sitting on a bench talking and looking at each other with obvious longing in their eyes. Surprisingly, these two reminded me a lot of Edward and myself. The girl had the same tone brown hair I have while the guy had blondish hair—a little lighter than Edward's—and the same pale skin Edward owns.
I started thinking more about Edward now. He had said he was on a plane to Italy! How did he find out about Italy?? Oh right, Tanya, she's not all that smart either, it was probably pretty easy to get her to squeal……..She better not have tried anything with Edward…..she does not want to see me when I'm jealous.
The rest of the ride I was thinking about being reunited with Edward. We would hug, hold hands, kiss, we would—ah shit. The gun! I forgot about that again! Jake would surely shoot him if he tried to get me…….I tried to make the thought leave my head but it refused to leave. Then, the car stopped.

Edward's POV:
"I need two tickets to Venice Italy pronto!" I told the guy at the ticket booth. Rosalie is making me bring her to Italy so that's the reason for the two tickets instead of one. Alice had wanted to be the one to come but I told her it would be a lot harder for me to have to try to find Bella and worry about her pregnant self so Rose said she would come. I honestly wanted to go by myself but my friends are stubborn!
He looked at me with a tired expression, "The next flight leaves at 11 o'clock."
"AM?" I asked and the guy nodded.
I opened my mouth to speak but Rosalie cut in, "We'll take them!" We handed the guy our money and he told us which direction to go.
When we got to the last place before the waiting room the guy said, "Passports please?" We both handed him our passports and we were on our way to the waiting room.
We sat down in seats that were facing each other. I looked over at the clock, 10:56. "Rose," I said and she looked up from the magazine she had been reading, "It's almost time, get your stuff ready."
She nodded and saw the worry in my face, "Don't worry Edward," she said taking my hand in hers, "We will find her. You know me, I'm a tough girl…….can be quite the bitch too if necessary."
I smiled, "Remember that time before you and Emmett were together and you had a crush on me?" The thought just came to me randomly and I had to say something about it.
She laughed, "Yeah, we were like 14."
I nodded and added the first genuine laugh I've laughed since Bella was taken, "Okay, well, remember how I invited the whole grade to my 14th birthday party at my house?" she nodded, "So, Tanya was sitting next to me on one side and Emmett on the other. You were sitting next to Tanya." I looked up at the ceiling trying not to laugh, "I don't even remember what Tanya said to me that made you so angry but you took her piece of cake and shoved it in her face and down her shirt."
She chuckled, "She said, 'what you doin later on baby.' What a horny 8th grader." She tsk-tsked.
I nodded, "And you didn't stop at that, then you got the hose and said, 'oh I'm so sorry, let me wash that for you.' She was soaking by the end of the party and her parents called Esme later that day."
She laughed, "Well, told you I can be a bitch."
"No lie there." I joked as I heard the announcement for everyone to board the plane. "Well," I sighed, "Let's go get Bella back." She nodded as we made our way onto the plane.

On the Plane:
Brrrrring, brrrrrrring, brrrrrrrring. My phone started buzzing about an hour into the trip and I looked down at the caller ID. Bella Swan , it read. I double checked the writing but it said Bella Swan. It also had a little heart next to it. Bella set it to do that.
I answered it quickly, "Bella?" I asked frantically and a bit too loudly, Rosalie took out her headphones and looked at me with concern.
"Edward, it's me! Jake dropped my phone when he went to the bathroom; I can't talk long though," I sighed in relief and Rose looked at me and mouthed 'Bella.' I nodded. Bell then continued talking but her voice was now a whisper, "He has a gun."
"He has a what?" I yelled once again too loud. Everyone looked at me but I couldn't care less, let them look if they must, "Don't worry, I'm on a plane right now to Italy, god Bella I miss you, your okay and everything right?"
"Oh Edward! I miss you too, I love you so much, and yeah, we are at a hotel called Bella Luna on the center of forty—"I started making a mental note of all this when she stopped, forty what? I screamed inside of my head. "I got to go, Jake's coming, I think he saw me." Her voice was worried, very frantic. I wanted to tell her everything was going to be all right, that nothing would happen, but at this point I couldn't make any promises, I could only hope she would be okay until I get to her.
Before she could hang up I yelled, "Okay, whatever you do, don't do anything that will make him shoot! I'll get you." We then lost connection.
The people across from Rose and I eyed us warily, "What?" I asked and shrugged as I turned to Rose and started to whisper. "You've been to Venice before right?" I asked, that was another reason I didn't argue too much that Rose wanted to come, she's been to Italy.
She nodded, "Yeah, with my parents and Jasper. We stayed at a hotel called Bella Luna."
I all but jumped up and down, "That's where Bella is! She said she's staying at that hotel and it's on the corner of forty something street. She couldn't finish because Jacob started to come her way."
Rose's smile perked up a lot, "That's perfect! I know exactly where to go then!"
"So it's set, as soon as we get there, you take us straight to the hotel," she nodded her head and I started becoming a lot more optimistic about this whole situation.
A/N: there's the next chapter!!! How'd ya like it??? I have in mind what's going to happen next so I'll try to update ASAP. Just a heads up though, since it's summer I'm not going to be able to update every other day on account I have other stuff to do with my life than sit on the computer—as much as I love doing so. Lol
