Previously: 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.

Bella's POV:

Okay, I swear, Jacob is the worst kidnapper ever! He knows I called Edward and yet he decides to let us stay at the same hotel. Don't you think that anyone with some kind of IQ would at least make us stay somewhere else? Don't get me wrong; I love it that he's clueless, but seriously!

"I'm bored," I complained as I stared out the window of the hotel room. It was sort of windy, not too bad. A lot more sunny than at Forks, normally I'd give anything to get out of the cold, wet area but right now I couldn't want to be anywhere but Washington.

"Well," Jake started, watching some kind of mystery show, "If you didn't use the cell phone maybe we would still be out having fun." I looked over at the clock and saw it was about quarter after ten, I wasn't tired yet but I decided to go to bed anyway.

"I'm going to sleep," I mumbled to myself as I went to the bathroom to get changed into my pajamas. While in the bathroom I analyzed my face. After finding out about me calling Edward, Jake gave me a whack in the face. My skin is very……fragile I guess you could say so it bruised up pretty bad. I looked at my wrists too, they were a bit red and swollen from him always holding me and dragging me by the wrists. I sighed as I finished getting dressed and brushing my teeth.

"Good night babe," Jake said as I climbed in next to him. I just ignored him; no way was I going to answer to that. I was surprised but within seconds I was fast asleep.

* * * *

3:00 AM

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

"Ughhh," I moaned, getting woken up some kind of banging outside of the hotel room. Probably a bunch of moronic kids drunk from partying, banging against the walls trying to be funny.

"Room service," Yelled a familiar girl's voice that was obviously trying to sound low. It was at our room though, not just throughout the hallway. I looked over to see the same dumbfound expression on Jake's face as if he was saying, "What the hell, room service at two AM?"

"I'll get it," he mumbled pushing the covers off and stumbling half-asleep to the door.

"We don't want any," he started while opening the door, I then heard a loud slap and Jake

yell, "What the frig are you doing here?"

Huh? Who was here? I climbed out of the bed and what I saw made my jaw drop, "Edward!" I squealed, "Rosalie!"

I saw Jacob rubbing his jaw intently as he glared at the two, they didn't acknowledge my squeals, and they had their eyes directly on Jake. "Let us in," Edward snarled but it was still wonderful to hear his soft, velvet voice in person.

"What if I don't want to?" Jake asked his voice wavering a bit.

"Hmmm," Edward decided to think about this for a second, "Then we will fight you. Or," he started again, "Just let Bella leave."

Jake smiled a cocky smile, "I don't think so," he pulled the gun out that he always had near him. I looked at them with pure shock, he wouldn't shoot them………he couldn't……could he? I looked in the hallway and noticed that there was no one out there, I mean completely no one!

Edward just stood there with an amused smirk on his face, "Shoot, I don't think you have it in you." he told Jacob still not taking his eyes off of him.

Jake pretended to look hurt, "Oh really? And why is that?"

Edward shrugged, "Just don't believe it, that's all."

Jake shrugged as well and he put up the gun to shoot. He had his finger on the trigger and I screamed, "No! Edward, don't be so stupid! And Jake," I said pleading, "Please don't shoot!" Rosalie hadn't been saying much but she smirked just like Edward. Neither of them seemed pretty phased about the whole thing.

Jake at this point looked a bit nervous, not nervous that he was about to shoot someone.......just not the expression I had been expecting to see. "You sure you want me to do this?" he asked his voice fierce while his expression was not.

Edward smiled leaning un phased against the wall. "I'm sure."

Jake turned to Rosalie, "How bout you Blondie? Ready to get the life shot out of ya?"

I was now trembling, tears falling hard. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this! I kept saying over and over again in my head but I couldn't bring myself to say anything out loud.

She glared at him, "No," she told him simply, "That's not going to happen on my watch."

He stared at her a little fazed and then back at Edward, "Okay then," he said as he pointed the gun straight at Edward's head.

"Jake don't!" I screamed right before he pushed the trigger........and nothing happened. "Huh?" I asked confused as I looked at all three of them standing. Jake dropped the gun with a curse muttering something under his breathe.

"We'll explain later," Rosalie said, "Right now we have some ass to kick." He punched Jake right in the jaw and I heard a loud crack.

"Ah Blondie!" he yelled under his breathe. "What was that for? I can call the cops for that you know?!"

She smiled, "The name's Rosalie and I don't think you wanna do that."

"And why is that?" he asked looking at her. Wow, he really is dumb; even I know the reason to that!

I haven't been saying anything but I watched as Edward straightened from his lean, "Well, if you call the cops on Rosalie, they'll ask why we were here in the first place." he said and then pointed his chin towards me, "Then, we might just have to mention the fact about you kidnapping Bella."

"So," Jacob started staring at them, "Your not calling the cops?"

Edward shook his head no and my mouth fell open, "What?" I exclaimed being quiet so no one would hear me. Still no one in the halls, "Why on Earth would you do that?" They all ignored me. I through my arms up in the air. "What am I? Wallpaper." Still, no answers. I sighed and decided if they weren't going to pay attention to me I wouldn't stick around for it. I made my way over to a chair near the window as I looked out at the dark sky.

I heard a bunch more mumbling; they were all keeping their voices fairly calm. I was quite surprised by this. I heard Edward say, "If you give us Bella now we will not call the cops." I crossed my arms and pouted at this. I want him in jail! "But if you don't," Edward continued, "We will call the cops on you."

I was sort of hoping he wouldn't so that Edward would call the cops.......I'd get back either way right? "Well," he said pretending to think about it, "How do I believe you're not lying?" And I didn't hear the rest of the conversation. There was mixed mumbling of all three. I didn't even bother trying to hear, they all seemed to be able to talk at quite, fast pasts.

"Bella," I heard Edward call, "Can you please come here for a minute?" I didn't answer; I just came back to the door.

I glared at them all, "Are you going to let me speak now?" I asked a bit of a hiss to my voice.

Rosalie nodded this time smiling quite a bit, "Ready to leave?" she asked.

I gave her an expression saying, 'duh.' I mean, I'm a pregnant woman whose been kidnapped, of course I want to go home! She chuckled and I then realized Jacob wasn't saying anything............I looked over and saw him lying unconscious on the floor.

I looked to Edward and Rosalie again, "What did you do?"

Edward laughed, "That was all thanks to Rose." He stopped and came about a foot away from me. "I'm so glad to see you," he said in a hurried voice as he stepped the last step and enveloped me in a hug. Rose came over to and joined the hug.

Tears were streaming down my face--tears of joy, "Thank you guys so much. I-I-I can't believe you did this." They didn't answer and then I thought, "What are we going to do about him?" We can't leave him there.....obviously, if they find him unconscious they'll be wondering what happened. We'd have a better chance of getting in trouble without telling anyone the whole story.

We all stepped away from the hug, "Don't worry the police are on there way. We called before we got here, they should be here any--"

He got cut off by three cops coming our way, "This the place?" he asked everyone standing in the hall with the door open wide.

Edward was the one who spoke, "Yes sir," he pointed towards Jake lying on the floor, "And this is the criminal."

"What happened to him?" the one guy--with the name tag saying Sid--said.

"Well, he wouldn't give up Bella," Rose said pointing to me, "So I had to do what I had to do."

The other officers--Steve and Ryan--started talking to me about things as Sid went over and handcuffed Jake. "So, you're the girl he kidnapped?" Ryan asked and I nodded, "Any reason why?"

I nodded again, "He's my ex. We had a bad ending to our relationship and he wanted me back. I refused...." I pointed to my stomach, "Obviously, and I'm now married to Edward." I told him smiling in Edward's direction. He was talking to Sid and he looked past him as he spoke his eyes landing on me. He smiled his crooked smile and winked as he turned his direction back to the officer.

"Okay. Did he do any real harm to you?" Steve asked.

I shook my head, "The worst he did was slap me across the face, he threatened me with a gun as well.....which turned out to not even have any bullets."

Ryan nodded, "He had also bought that gun without a license. After the call we had some people check out his name and found him buying that gun. Just because of that he will get locked up." I smiled at that thought. If he's locked up he can cause no danger to me or more importantly any of my family.

They asked me a few more questions and said I was free to go. They took Jacob to the back of there car and I with Rose and Edward. They had rented a car and Rosalie had chosen to drive. Edward and I in the back.

I held Edward's hand the whole time as he asked me questions, "How are you? Did he hurt you? How are the babies? Did that give you a lot of trouble? Did he feed you well?" He asked all within one or two breathes.

I chuckled and squeezed his hand, "I'm fine, he didn't hurt me to bad, I'm pretty sure the babies are all right, the only trouble I had with them was the morning because of getting sick, and yes, he fed me well." I said answering his entire question in one sentence.

He smiled, "I'm just making sure my Bella is okay." he said as he kissed my lips. I kissed back without any hesitation at all. I had forgotten my surroundings. Forgotten what had been happening less than an hour ago.

I hardly heard the cough from Rosalie coming from the front of the car. "Um, I don't want to be the one to break up this little love fest but uh, I'm not so sure you wanna get any further than that.......in a car.......with me." She laughed and continued, "And I thought Emmett and I showed too much public affection. You two were all over each other!"

We broke apart from out kiss, my face burning red, "Sorry, Rose, hormones you know."

"Well, not yet....." Rosalie said. I could hear the smile in her voice.

Not yet? What's that supposed to mea--"Oh my gosh Rose! You're pregnant?"

She nodded her head enthusiastically, "I'm 7 weeks through. We just found out the day before your birthday. We had a big dinner plan for you but then.......well you know so we never got the chance to tell anyone."

Edward had the same expression as I did, "You are? That's--That's awesome!" he said his voice raising and a smile on his face.

"This really is crazy," I started, "Okay, so Alice and I get pregnant around the same time and then we find out you are! Are kids are going to have lot's a play dates." I giggled. "When are you due?" I squeezed Edward's hand tighter and whispered, "Out little babies won't have to worry about being bored around this house." He laughed and nodded in agreement.

"May 29th." She said and then chuckled, "I was just thinking, you know all that stuff about wait until after marriage to have sex thing?"

"Yeah," Edward said, "Not that this family is following those rules. Kids pregnant at 18."

Rosalie laughed, "Exactly was I was going to say. Good thing we don't have hardcore religious parents or we'd be out on the streets."

I heard the muttering of Edward and Rose but I started to feel tired. I leaned my head against the cool window, Edward's hand still enclosed in mine. I was thinking about the fact that I'm coming home. I've learned Rose is having a baby. Her due date is right next to Alice's and mine. Everything at this very moment is perfect. Jake is going to jail. Everything is alright. My dreams were filled with the image of many years to come.

* * * * * * *

"Bella, Bella come on, we're at the airport." I heard Edward's velvet voice close to my ear. I opened my dreary eyes.

"I love you," were the first words to come out of my mouth.

"I love you too Bella, never will that statement be false." he told me sincerely. I smiled and pulled myself out of the car. Rosalie pulled out a take along bag and gave it to me.

"What's this?" I asked. I didn't have anything with me. Jake didn't allow me to get anything before he took me.

She shrugged, "We thought you'd want something for the trip. It's a very long ride. We didn't bring much though."

Edward linked his arm with mine, "We have your fully charged I-pod, Wuthering Heights, and some random baby magazine's we thought you might want to read."

"Thanks." I said taking the back and putting it around my arm, "What about the car?" I asked as we walked into the airport. I hadn't realized that we were leaving a rental car that we weren't coming back for.

"Well, here's a tip," She said a smile creeping up on her lips, "The power of flirting can do almost anything if you know how to work it."

I chuckled and Edward tightened his arm around mine, "Don't be giving her any ideas Rose, she could have any guy she wanted in a heart beat, I don't want her to change her mind about me." I could tell he was joking but the thought of being with anyone but Edward was like a knife in the chest. Something that wouldn't be possible for me.

We chatted mindlessly and within no time we were on the plane. I was sitting in the middle of Rose and Edward. Rose getting the window seat.

Edward ended up listening to my I-pod, I felt like talking but I could tell he was really tired. I ended up just talked to Rose. "Isn't it exciting?" I asked her giddily. "Knowing your going to be a mother with the most perfect guy ever?"

"Don't be getting any ideas," She joked, "Emmett's all mine."

"Point taken," I laughed and glanced over to Edward who was sleeping so soundly. I couldn't imagine being with anyone but him. I guess it was fate meeting him in the first place. He looked so innocent in his sleep, like a little kid

"But," Rose started again taking my thoughts away from the angel sitting next to me, "I know what you mean. Knowing that you're going to be responsible for another human beings life is one of the most terrifying thoughts ever." She stopped and thought about it, "But, it's also one of the most amazing thoughts. The thought of being able to look at your kid and see that she or he is part of you. That you created this kid." She was going into full speech mode.

People were looking at us weirdly since we weren't keeping our voices down, "What?" I snapped to the person sitting across from us, "Haven't you ever heard of someone having a baby?"

She snorted and turned back to the magazine she had been reading before my little rant. "Good one." Rosalie chuckled. I nodded and looked over to Edward again and yawned. "Tired?"

"A bit," I said but the words were muffled because I yawned again. I hadn't got much sleep since I've been with Jake. Always afraid of the gun that sat next to him on the counter. Always worrying about everything going on. "Okay, maybe a lot." I responded after another yawn.

"Sleep," she said laying a hand on my shoulder, "I'm tired too and we have a long ride ahead of us." I nodded and within moments blackness overtook me as I fell asleep.

* * * * * *

"The plane is about to land. Please put on your seatbelts and have a comfortable landing." A lady said over the speaker causing me to wake up startled. I quickly clipped my seatbelt on and shook Edward and Rose so that they would wake up and be able to do the same.

My sleep had been a peaceful one. Just as in the car it was filled with the thoughts of Alice's, Rosalie's and my children playing in the yard or at a park or somewhere. The only thing that troubled me was the fact that as each scene changed so did the name of my little girl. Edward and I had never talked about what our little girl's name would be since the miscarriage. We had planned on one being Cammy and one Carlie. We never talked about which would be which. As much as it pained me to have to bring it up, my little girl will need a name.

We got off the plane and made our way around the security and stuff. We were met in the waiting room by the whole gang. Alice--even being pregnant--was slightly hopping on her feet when she saw us coming. Emmett and Jasper had huge smiles on their faces as did Carlisle and Esme.

"Oh dear!" Esme cried when we got close enough, "I'm so glad you okay. How is everything?" She asked me while giving me a big hug.

I smiled, "I'm fine and so are the babies. Everything is perfect." Carlisle gave me a hug as well and asked how I was. Basically the same thing that Esme had done.

Alice impatiently waited her turn to give me her hug. Our stomachs bumped and she fake-pouted, "We can hardly even hug." She then laughed giving me an awkward one armed hug, "I'm glad you okay."

I thanked her and now was the guys' turns. Emmett gave me a big hug but not as tight as usual for obvious reasons. Jasper gave me a sweet hug with a light kiss on the forehead. I considered these to my brothers. Just as I considered Alice and Rosalie my sisters. We lived together for such a long time and got to know everything about each other. It felt as if we all were just separated at birth.

I looked around and no longer saw Emmett, "Where did Emmett go?" I asked as everyone was talking and chattering.

"I don't know," Edward answered. "Maybe he went to the bathroom or something." We soon enough found out where he was.

I heard his voice rising over everyone else's over in the waiting section. He kept repeating, "Testing, testing, testing." Everyone that had been hugging families and saying their hellos completely stopped and looked at the big burly guy standing on a chair holding a microphone.

He smiled a sweet smile and said, "Okay, well, I'm Emmett Masen and I have some news." I looked over to Rose who started to go a bit pale in the face. I went over to her and linked my arm with hers giving her support. She mouthed thank you and her head immediately shot right back to where Emmett was standing.

"Okay, so there's this girl, she's the best girl you could ever imagine and her name is Rosalie Hale." A tear was streaming down Rosalie's cheek and onto her smiling lips. "Well anyway, we have some pretty big news." He smiled and his eyes flashed to Rosalie. "About 7 weeks ago......we uh, did something and now........we find out that my beautiful Rose is pregnant."

Esme and Carlisle's eyes flashed to her with a questioning glance. She nodded swiftly before turning back to Emmett. "And I'd just like everyone to know, that I love this woman more than my own life. I would do anything for her. She knows I can be quite immature but then again what guy isn't? Am I right? Am I right?" he asked the crowd and there was a lot of noise in agreement.

I laughed along with him and yelled along with the crowd. I nudged Edward and he laughed. "So," Emmett did a big dramatic sigh and a huge smile, "I'm here to ask this one and only Rosalie Hale if she would give me the honor, of having her as my wife."

Rosalie gasped and tears streamed down her face. She seemed breathless. I know I was when Edward asked me to marry him. It was the most random time, right after he awoke from his coma, but I didn't need him to go on one knee and promise to me, I just needed the fact that he loved me enough to get married.

I quickly checked the faces of my family. Alice looked giddy and was hugging Jasper tightly who looked very proud for his big sister. Esme and Carlisle looked surprised but a smile was creeping up on their faces. Edward looked the same as me, in awe of what Emmett was doing.

"So," Emmett said, "Rosalie, would you marry me?"

I looked over to her and it didn't even take five seconds for her to start sobbing and run over the Emmett and kiss him right on the lips in front of everyone, "Yes!" She exclaimed, "Yes, I will most definitely marry you Emmett!"

Emmett kissed her his hand raised. They broke from the kiss and he yelled into the microphone, "I'm getting married!"

Okay........I started thinking. Rosalie, Alice and I were all pregnant and both Alice and Rosalie will be planning weddings. That only means one thing and I cringed at the thought of those three words. Lot's of shopping.

Everyone in the audience clapped and hooted but it was Alice and I that were the loudest. We yelled and clapped our hands.........all until security came and told us that we all were making a big scene.

The words congratulations, I can't believe it, this is great were all used. They were all so very true as well. Everyone was thrilled for them. We were all separated in cars. They had taken three. It ended up being Rose, Alice and I in Rosalie's BMW. Edward, Jasper and Emmett in Edward's Volvo and Carlisle and Esme in Carlisle's car.

"I can't believe this Rosalie!" Alice exclaimed from the front seat. "Your pregnant, I'm pregnant, and Bella's pregnant, all at the same time!"

"And both you and I have weddings to plan Ali." Rose said.

"I'm starting to feel left." I said with mock sadness.

"Oh don't feel left out Bells!" she started, "You already had your wedding, and it's our turns to shine!" I chuckled along with them. We turned on the radio as high as it would go and sang along to the songs all together at the top of our lungs.

When we finally got home I swung open the door and yelled at the top of my lungs, "HOME AT LAST!" Well, close to home, Esme and Carlisle's house is like my second house. Of course.......I didn't expect to see a bunch of shocked faces staring at me. "What?" I asked, "I'm just excited to be home." I said making my way to the living room and falling back against the love seat.

"So are we," Edward said sitting beside me and putting his arm around me while pulling me closer, "So are we."

"So," Alice said once everyone had found a seat, "You know what we need to do now?"

Everyone looked at her confused. "What is that?"

"Presents duh! You weren't here for your birthday and we never got to give you presents!" I just now noticed the stack of boxes up against the wall.

"Ugh," I said covering my face with my hands, "I thought I told you I didn't want anything." I looked up to Edward, "And you said you didn't spend a dime! You said those exact words, 'I didn't spend a dime."

He chuckled, "And I didn't spend a dime." he said but I looked at him suspiciously.

"Okay!" Alice said sounding a little annoyed now. Pfft, pregnancy mood swings much? "It doesn't matter how much we spent on you okay? We are rich, understand, R-I-C-H. That means we have a lot of money. We don't need to be careful with spending. Now you're going to open your presents and your going to like it! Understand?"

I laughed and said, "I know I know I'm sure I'm going to like it. I just feel bad about people spending money on me."

Esme smiled sweetly, "Its okay hunny, seriously, we want to." I nodded.

Alice decided she was the official hand out gifts person. "Okay, this one is from me," She said handing me a box wrapped in a colorful pink wrapping paper, "And this one is from Jasper."

"Which first?" I asked knowing the answer.

"Mine!" She beamed and sat it in my lap.

"Okay," I said as I undid the red ribbon that enclosed it. I realized the box was really big. It could fit quite a lot in it. The first thing I pulled out of the box was a black lacy bra and matching underwear. I blushed instantly, "You got me lingerie?"

She smiled her evil grin, "Of course, you're going to need some, honestly Bella." she said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

I quickly shoved that back in the bag but Edward whispered in my ear, "I like that birthday present." I blushed more but smiled.

I then pulled out a small blue outfit. The size for a new born baby. On it said, 'mommy's boy.' then there was another blue one that said, 'daddy's boy.' Also, there was a set of pink that said either, 'mommy's girl' or 'daddy's girl.'

I laughed, "Thank you Alice!"

She smiled and gave me a hug, "Well, I didn't know what kind of boy or girl the kids would be. Mommy's or daddy's so I got both! Oh and there's one more thing in there for you."

I went in for the last thing and found myself looking at the most gorgeous black dress I have ever seen. It was v-neck but not so low that it let everything hang out, it was about knee-length. It had a really nice beaded pattern right under the bust area.

"You like it?" she asked and I nodded.

"I love it Alice! Thank you!" I hugged her tightly again trying to ignore the fact that we couldn't hug as well as we normally could.

"Okay! Now Jasper's." Alice said handing me the box.

I looked at the box which must have been decorated by Alice because it was done very nice.......I know Jasper doesn't have much luck with that sort of stuff. It turned out to be a bracelet. It was gold and chain-like but it was beautiful. "Thank you Jasper!" I exclaimed giving him a huge hug, "I love it."

There were smiles all around me, I figured because I was actually accepting the gifts. "Okay, now Rosalie and Emmett."

She handed me Rose's gift and I opened it slowly. In the small bag there was a pair of black heels. They weren't too high which is definitely my style. They were open at the toe and would match the dress perfectly. "Thank you Rose!" I exclaimed giving her a big hug.

Now onto Emmett's. This one I was a bit worried about, "You sure a snake isn't going to come out and attack me?" I asked.

He chuckled, "Not that I know of."

I opened it slowly and saw an oversized T-shirt that would be ten times to big on me that said, "Look what he did to me!" and an arrow.

I turned red once again and Emmett said, "That arrow is pointing to Edward if you hadn't guessed."

Edward smiled his crooked grin, "No duh, I thought it was pointing to Mike Newton."

"Well, you never know...." Emmett said trailing off while wagging his eyebrows.

"Oh shut up!" I exclaimed.

Emmett laughed, "That's only part of the gift, here's the other." he said and tossed me a white envelope. "I didn't know what you'd want....."

I opened up the flap and gasped, "Emmett! This is way too much." Inside the envelope were two one hundred dollar bills.

"No, no, no. Take it! I insist." I tried to shove it back in his hand but he refused. I knew if I tried any longer he'd be very tempted to pick me up and start running around......I know he probably wouldn't because of me being pregnant and all but he'd find something to do.

"Fine and thank you," I told him, giving him a hug.

"No problem sis."

"Okay, Esme and Carlisle now have there present."

Esme was the one who spoke, "Well, this is really for both of you," She said to Edward and I. Carlisle passed me another envelope but this one was tan.

I opened it up and saw two plane tickets to Phoenix, Arizona. Tears instantly flew from my eyes. Esme looked worried, "I'm sorry Bella! I thought you'd want to go and....and I don't know see some friends. I'm sorry." she cooed.

"No," I said sniffling, "I've wanted to go back. I would love to go back, I love it you guys. Thank you." I said standing up to give Carlisle and Esme a big hug and kiss.

"You can use them whenever, they don't expire for about five years." She laughed, "We got quite a deal."

"Okay......" Alice said, "I don't know where Edward's gift is."

"Oh he didn't spend a--" I started but Edward cut me off.

"Her gift from me is at our house." He said looking at me smiling.

"But I thought...." I started but then stopped, "Oh whatever." Everyone laughed at my expression.

"So, what was it liked being kidnapped?" Emmett asked curiously.

I shrugged and leaned against Edward's chest, his arms around me holding me close, "Scary, especially since he had a gun..." I saw all the expressions change, "Which turned out not to have any bullets but I hadn't known that. He took good care of me food wise and stuff like that, but he made sure I didn't have any contact with anyone. He threatened me with the gun or with hurting you guys." I said, "I couldn't let either of those things happen," my hand went to my stomach, "I couldn't let him hurt these guys."

Edward was now rubbing soothing circles on my back as I yawned, "What time is it?" I asked no one in particular.

"Uhhhh," Jasper said glancing at his watch, "About 11 PM."

I turned to Edward, "I don't want to be rude or anything, but I'm really tired. Do you think we could go home?"

"Of course, I was going to suggest it anyway." Edward said standing and helping me up.

I said my goodbyes and thanks for all the gifts as we made our way out to Edward's Volvo. "So, like your birthday gifts?" he asked me once we were driving.

I smiled, "I loved them. They were way too much. Did you see Emmett gave me 200 dollars!"

He chuckled, "Yes, you spend it on whatever you like love, spend it on something for you though, a day at the spa or something nice."

I thought about that, that wasn't such a bad idea, "I like that idea Eddie. I think I'll do that."

"Eddie?" he cringed at the thought of the nickname, "You know I only like Edward."

"Even when I say Eddie," I asked and he nodded slightly, "Oh Eddie," I purred.

"Okay, okay, call me whatever you want." He laughed.

"Okay! I'll call you..............monkey butt." I said holding in a fit of hysterics.

"Monkey butt? Where'd that come from?" I shrugged as my answer and we laughed along.

The rest of the ride was pretty quiet. I was tired and thrilled to be home. Once I saw the house my spirits rose. "We're home. It's good to be home," I whispered.

He smiled, "Yes we are." He came over to my side of the car and helped me out, taking my hand.

Once he unlocked the door and we were in the house I went straight upstairs with Edward on my heels. I quickly got changed into my own pajamas and laid right on top of the covers.

Edward did the same and laid next to me. I pulled myself slightly up and over to him and kissed his lips, "I missed this." I whispered against him.

"Oh believe me," Edward said between kisses, "So did I." the kiss was delightful, soft and sweet and yet somehow also aggressive.

Edward suddenly pulled away after about ten minutes of sitting and kissing in bliss. "I almost forgot."

I frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I need to give you your birthday present!" he exclaimed running out of the room.

"I thought you weren't going to spend a dime!" I called after him.

He came back with a small black box in his hand, "I didn't spend a dime." he chuckled, "I spent a lot more than ten cents." I frowned at him again but he pushed the box towards me, "Open it."

I sighed but opened it. What was inside made me gasp. It was the most beautiful silver necklace I have ever seen. The chain itself was quite thin but hanging from it was a silver heart with something engraved on it. As I looked closer I saw on one side it read, 'Bella Swan.' and on the back it said, 'my heart is with you.'

I looked up to Edward, "Do you like it?" He asked unsure.

"Do I like it?" I asked, "I love it Edward! It's gorgeous and wonderful and amazing and adjectives that I don't even know!"

"I'm glad you like it love." he said kissing my gently on the forehead, "But I think it's time we get some rest. I don't know about you but I'm exhausted."

I smiled and nodded. My head rest against my soft pillow while I had the greatest person in the world lying next to me.

A/N: I know it's like way late but I was on vacation and couldn't get it uploaded on FF. But, a good thing is this is my longest chapter yet! I hope you like it and PLEASE REVIEW!
