Chp. 18

Reunion

BPOV

Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Carlisle all had a firm grip on Hazel, waiting for us. Smart move. Esme stood with the sisters in the corner, watching as Edward and I marched – now reunited – towards the woman responsible for this whole mess.

As we got closer, I began walking faster, eager to tear her apart. But, Edward's strong arm ghosted out in front of me, blocking me like a barricade. I looked up at him questionably, but he just shook his head. "I'm finishing this."

"No, I am," I disagreed.

He went for a more effective path this time. His hand in mine squeezed gently, while his other one caressed my cheek softly before settling on the side of my neck. Those damn golden eyes of his softened, staring into mine pleadingly. "Please, Bella," he murmured, his voice especially smooth.

Snapping my eyes shut before I gave in, I tried holding onto my argument. "Damn it, Edward, stop doing that! We'll do this together." I compromised my voice much harder than what I was feeling inside.

He sighed. "Fine."

I reopened my eyes, smiling at him, before turning my attention back to our waiting family. My eyes settled on Hazel, and I began stalking forward again. We finally stopped just a few inches away from her, and the rest of the family let go at once.

That's when I lunged.

Hazel put up a pretty good fight, but in the end, she was no match for Edward and I. Edward ordered Jasper and Emmett to start a fire while he, Alice, and I picked up the pieces of the now dismembered vampire.

We threw them into the fire, and then stepped back to watch the body burn to ash. Carlisle, Esme, Sadie, and Ava had all left right before Edward and I began ripping Hazel apart, and I could understand why. We were silent as the fire lit up the warehouse, an orange glow casting around the room. The purple smoke went straight up, where it fanned out, creeping across the ceiling.

The fire started blazing out of control, catching onto the side of the warehouse, causing that to go up in flames as well. That's when I felt a strong arm encircle my waist from behind, his free hand tilting my chin up to look at him. "We need to get out of here," he muttered.

I nodded, reaching for the hand that was resting atop my stomach and twining my fingers through it. Instead of running, Edward and I opted to walk back home, just enjoying each other's presence. It's not like Renesmee would be there, and that's the only person either of us really wanted to see right now.

About half way home, Edward finally broke the silence that had fallen between us. "What did she want you to do for her? To get Alice and I back, I mean."

"She wanted help killing her sisters," I answered.

And when he asked, I told him what had happened between the sisters, and why Hazel was seeking for revenge upon them.

"How was it there, after I left?" I asked quietly.

"Unbearable. It was nearly as bad as the time I left you," we both winced as he said that.

"What about after Alice came?"

"Well, it was a little better, having someone finally understand the situation. But we were just miserable together. We just stayed in my room most of the time, doing absolutely nothing. She missed Jasper. And I missed you and Renesmee, of course." Something flashed in his eyes as he said her name, and then a grin broke out onto his face. "And now I won't have to miss either of you anymore. I see you right now, and I'll see her in just a short while, hopefully."

But then his lips turned back into a frown.

"What?"

"I really don't think I can wait much longer."

I smiled, my heart fluttering as he said this. He was such a good father. Silence fell over us, but only lasted for a little under five minutes.

"What are you thinking?" There it was. The age old question.

"I'm thinking about you, and our daughter. How absolutely perfect you both are, I really don't deserve either of you. I'm thinking of how great of a father you are to her. And how much I love you both."

The side of his lips twitched up into the familiar crooked smile that I loved to see him wear. The hand holding mine tightened and he sped up his pace slightly, walking quicker. I could tell he was anxious to see her.

We walked in silence for a couple more minutes, before he spoke. "You're wrong, you know."

"What am I wrong about?" I asked in a disinterested tone, although that was far from the truth.

"You deserve way better than me. Much, much better. I'm definitely the lucky one in this situation. To have two people so incredible in my life, it just seems unfair." He paused for a minute before continuing. "And you're wrong again. You and Renesmee both are so full of life and always so completely fascinating with every little thing that you do. I'm extremely flawed. You on the other hand….perfect."

"We both have our flaws, everyone does. But, we're perfect for each other."

We both sped up, eager to get home.

When we finally passed through the threshold of the Cullen home, we were greeted by the rest of the family, before all flopping down onto the living room couches. The sisters were still here, talking to Carlisle. Renesmee, Jacob, and Rosalie were still yet to return home. Everyone was talking, except me. I stayed silent, tucked under Edward's arm, with my hand in Alice's.

A faint sound of footsteps alerted us of their presence first, and then that's when we heard the arguing.

"Well maybe if you would have shut up, I wouldn't have hit you!" Rosalie exclaimed.

"Maybe I didn't shut up because I like to annoy you. Ever thought about that, Blondie?" Jacob retorted.

There was a faint slapping sound, and then a loud, "OW! What the hell was that for!?"

"Just shut up, dog! Before I get tempted to rip one of your legs off, too."

"Can you both just shut up?" Renesmee yelled.

Everyone in the living room chuckled, including me. We stood up, ready to greet them. A couple more seconds passed, and then Rosalie, Renesmee, and Jacob were walking through the front door. Rosalie went straight for Emmett, while Jacob set Renesmee down on her own two feet.

She looked up, and her mouth immediately dropped, and her eyes widened as she looked at Edward. "DADDY!" she yelled, running over as fast as she could. She jumped up into his open arms, and locked hers around his neck, just as she had to me the other day.

"Don't leave again," she pleaded, burying her face in his neck.

He closed his eyes, pressing his lips to her hair. "I'm not going anywhere," he promised.

Everyone had left the room, giving them privacy in which I was very grateful for. I smiled as he leaned his head down to plant his lips gently on her forehead. "I won't ever leave you again," he whispered.

"You promise?" She lifted her head to look him straight in the eyes.

He shook his head slowly. "No, I swear."

"I love you, Daddy."

He leaned down to kiss her forehead once more. "I love you too, angel." His gaze traveled up to meet mine, and Renesmee noticed, turning her head back to look at me too.

She waved me over to where they stood. "Come here," she ordered. I complied, walking over. When I got there, Renesmee wrapped one of her tiny arms around my neck, the other around Edward. One of his arms snaked around my waist, pulling me into his embrace as well. I rested my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes tightly, and enjoying the moment.

We stayed in that position for awhile, until I finally pulled back to look at Renesmee. "You need to go to bed."

"Agreed," Edward chimed in.

Her lips immediately turned into a pout. "But mom-" she began, but I cut her off. "It's late."

Huffing, she jumped down from Edward's arms, walking glumly towards the back door. Edward and I trailed after her. Jacob looked up from the fridge as we passed and waved. I smiled, but kept walking, as did Edward and Ness.

We would have just ran to the cottage, but decided instead to go at Renesmee's pace. She was still moping, dragging her feet as she slowly made her way there. When we finally made it back, I looked around happily. I was home.

After tucking our daughter in, Edward and I walked slowly towards our bedroom, hands linked together. When we got inside, I plopped down on the edge of the bed, laying back. He laid down beside me, propping his head up with his hand, staring down at my face. I reached my fingers up to stroke his hair gently. "I love you," I murmured softly.

Not answering, he lowered his head down to press his lips to mine lightly. As he began to pull away, I grabbed the two fistfuls of his hair, forcing him back down to kiss me again. This time, more passionately. When we finally broke away, breathless, I let a small chuckle escape through my lips. "What?" he asked, smiling.

I shook my head. "We're the only vampires I know that could ever be abducted from their home just hours after they stood up against the Volturi. How can we possibly manage to attract that much danger all the time?"

"Oh, there's no we," he clarified. "It's your bad luck that gets us into so much trouble. Do you think that is another gift you brought with you into your immortal life?" he teased.

"Oh, just shut up," I grumbled.

"I can do that," he grinned, leaning down again to attack my lips with his.

And with that, we continued on where we had left off. Free from danger. Together again, just as we should be. Forever.

The end.
