A/N uhh, heyyyyyy guys :)(smiles sheepishly) sooooo, hows it goin? i suppose your all pretty upset with me, for abandoning this. Well, let me try and explain myself. I got really caught up in life, had some major writer's block, and sort of lost myself for a long while. I opened this up today, and realized I should never have stopped writing this. It makes me happy to be in my own world writing this for you guys, and I won't neglect it again until it's over. Expect the updates coming at you hard and fast. We are just getting started. Review, and maybe I'll grovel for forgiveness some more. :) I love my readers:))

Chapter 15

The next day Alice managed to force Ean and I to go shopping. I somehow convinced her to not buy either of us a completely new wardrobe, or a mountain of toys for Ean, until she got a look at our apartment. When I got back, I decided to ask Edward what was going to happen when I went back home the next day. (I had work, and needed to go back to class the day after.) He told me that Carlisle had already found a nearby hospital to transfer too, and that all of the Cullen children had been enrolled at my college.

Esme had found a house about 15 minutes away from Luke and I, and was already decorating it.

"But that is only if it's alright with you" Edward smiled gently, and I might have imagined worry flickering through his features.

"Of course it is! Ean deserves all of his family, and I don't want him to go through life without his father, or the rest of his family." I realized how that sounded to Edward, "And I have missed you all for far too long. I never want the chance to miss any of you again." I added quickly, and was glad I did so, because I spoke just before he had time to make his face indifferent, to hide whatever hurt he had gotten from my previous words. So later that day, I packed up what little belongings Ean and I had with us, and I went to bed, knowing that Edward would have me up early for the drive home.

I was very surprised when I woke up to see some very fast moving scenery by my face. I jumped a little bit, before taking in my surroundings. I was in the Volvo's passenger seat. Edward was on my left smiling, and behind him was our beautiful son, giggling as I looked back at him.

"What time is it?" I asked groggily.

"Ten fifteen. We will we back in just about an hour. I decided to let you sleep, because you looked so tired, and your sleep talking was always the best entertainment." As he smiled his crooked smile at me, chuckling, I turned a shade of red that I probably hadn't seen since his haystack line oh so long ago. What could I have said in my sleep? I knew that when I was confused conscious, whatever I really wanted I said in my sleep, until I figured it out. I was petrified that I had betrayed something I had not yet discovered. But as Edward smiled at me, I could see a sadness deep in his eyes, telling me that whatever I had said in my sleep hadn't changed anything.

The next hour was spent in comfortable silence, with the exception of the toddler talk coming from the backseat and the laughter filling the car each time Ean did something particularly adorable. I made sure that Edward just dropped Ean and I off, and went to settle into the Cullen's new house before he met Luke. I needed to make everything as clear as I could to Luke, so he wouldn't freak out. I rang the doorbell to our apartment, not wanting to get my key out, and was greeted with my husband's smiling face moments later.

He took Ean from my arms and swung him around, "Little D! How's my big boy?" before softly kissing me on the lips. He looked into my eyes, searching for what I knew he would probably find. The uncertainty, the fear, the wildness I could not explain, I knew it was there, and I knew he could see it. But I knew he could also see the love in my eyes, and feel it on my lips. This man, this beautiful man, he was mine, and I needed him to know that I was his too. We carried in our things and set Ean in the playpen with his favorite toys before Luke took my hand and led me to the couch.

"Bells I feel like you have something you need to say, and I want you to say it." I took a deep breath, knowing that if I told him everything, this could all change. He might think I was crazy, he might even leave, try to get Ean taken away. But I knew I had to take that chance, because I loved him and trusted him and didn't want to keep anymore secrets from him.

"Luke I haven't been completely honest with you, and I need to tell you the truth about Edward, his family, and what really happened in Forks."

By the time I finished my story, all the way up to Edward dropping me off, Luke hadn't even moved a muscle, and when he did, he looked incredulous.

"Bells, you have got to be kidding me. I mean, vampires and blood sucking at babies that shouldn't be born?"

"Luke I know it's weird but it is the entire truth. All of it. I don't understand it sometimes either, but I promise you I'm not lying, please believe me." He looked around the room with a contemplative stare, and then back at me.

"All of it? You really got kidnapped by a vampire, Edward really left because he feared for your safety?" I nodded, trying not to tear up thinking about it. He sighed, making the same whooshing noise Edward had made two days ago. Then he chuckled, which surprised me.

"Well Bells, when do I get to meet the family?"
