Ok so I thought ya'll deserved a chapter after my moment of confusion yesterday :P Oh and BTW, I didn't get any sleep last night, like AT ALL, so I turned on AMC on the TV and there was this movie on called "The Black Swan" and I started giggling like an idiot and when my mom checked on me she asked why I was up so late and why I was giggling. I burst into laughter and gasped out the words "This is soooo a Team Jacob movie!" haha BLACK SWAN!
B POV
Edward flung me onto his back and we took off into the vegetation; I'd remembered something I was meaning to tell Edward.
"Hey, Edward?" I asked quietly, I didn't know if he would get mad or not.
"Yes?" He asked, confused at my reluctance.
"Well… I just thought you'd like to know what Lizzy's full name is." I didn't add on what I wanted to tell him yet.
"Sure, I'd love to know, but I'm guessing it's Elizabeth. The nickname 'Lizzy' usually isn't short for anything else." He said slyly, trying to lighten the mood. He chuckled awkwardly.
"Um… well the reason I named her that is…" I could feel the blood rushing to my face; it seemed more embarrassing to me now than it had earlier. "Well I named her… after your human mother…" When Lizzy was born, I'd wanted The Cullens to have some of an influence in her life, even if it was only her name. I'd wanted to call her maybe… Esme. But Jacob knew that was Edward's mother's name and would know my reasoning for calling her that. I didn't want to think about what he would do if I suggested it; Jacob didn't know about Edward's human mother's name, the Quileute legends weren't that thorough. So I devised that as an inside joke, and as a reminder, to myself.
As I recalled these things, Edward had been silent. I pulled my attention away from my memories and focused on Edward; was he mad? Did he not like the idea of me naming my daughter after his mother? That was understandable; ugh! I'm so stupid! I had no right to do that! He probably hates me now! I'd been waiting for that little thing that would make him sick of me and leave again. If there was one out there; this was certainly it.
Edward's breathing stopped, and his running slowed to a walk; I knew we weren't anywhere near the house yet because I didn't recognize the surroundings. I felt Edward flex his arms to get me off his back, I slumped off him obediently. He walked a few yards away and his movements were fast and jerky. Stupidly, I cringed and whimpered, waiting for the beating that would usually take place.
He whipped around with a look of disbelief when he heard me gasp and whimper. Pain colored his face- and not just pain- searing agony. His eyes burned with horrible rage.
He was holding me in his arms before I could blink. He sank to the ground without letting me go.
He must be infuriated at me for naming my daughter after his mother. "Look Edward, I'm sorry. It was wrong to name her after your Mom, I mean for all I knew you never gave me a second thought and it was stupid. But please don't leave again." To put more emphasis on my words I clutched him tighter; much to my distaste, he pulled away to look at me.
"Isabella Marie-" He stopped; and I knew why.
"I refuse to keep the surname Black anymore." I said with confidence. "It's Swan again."
A faint smile tugged on his lips, but didn't reach his eyes.
"Ok. Isabella Marie Swan. Why would you think I regret the idea of naming Lizzy after my mother? In fact, that is probably the single most beautiful and thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me. I'm elated that my mother's name still lives on through your daughter." He smiled at me angelically, but I knew it was fake.
"Then why were you so mad earlier?" I breathed.
He closed his eyes and took a long deep breath to compose himself. "It just-" Deep breath. " It just… sickens me to think that what that… fleabag did to you could ever make you even dream that I would intentionally hurt you. I'm not sadistic like him Bella." He held my face. "I would never turn on you. I would never hurt you!" Something wasn't right.
"Wait, what about your bloodlust? Doesn't it still cause you pain to be around me?" I didn't make sense, it couldn't just disappear… could it?
"Bella, I have decided I will never hurt you, I refuse to let my instincts ruin my happiness. After I told myself that, the thirst became- almost- unnoticeable." He smiled that crooked grin I missed so much.
"Almost." I breathed; it was the only response I could muster.
We sat in awkward silence for a while before Edward finally stood up and offered me his hand. I greedily took it, wanting to feel the smooth texture of his skin. He threw me over onto his back and we were –once again- flying through the dense forest.
When we arrived back home, Edward set me down and we walked back inside. I made sure not to make much noise; I didn't know if Lizzy was asleep or not. Edward didn't have to try to be quiet; he did it flawlessly on his own. As I walked from room to room, with Edward silently behind me, I flipped the lights on.
"Is Lizzy asleep?" I asked Edward. I knew him and his vampire senses could tell; I had to say vampire senses were more convenient than me going all the way to her room, trying not to bump into anything, and opening the wooden door loudly.
"Yes." He answered absent mindedly. He looked to be thinking about something very hard.
"What?" I asked him.
"I really should buy you new furniture… and replace the wood panels on the walls… and the floor…"
I sighed, annoyed. "Stop knocking my house Edward, we couldn't afford much else."
"I know but with me in the picture, you could." He smirked.
"Remember, I said I had to ask Lizzy first… what makes you o sure she'll agree?"
His smirk grew wider. "I've been in her mind before, she reminds me a lot of you in high school… you always referred to your mother as the parent speaking of the child and not the other way around." He chuckled. I frowned. I walked over to him.
"So?" I asked seductively. "What do you wanna do?" I played with his hair. "Lizzy is asleep…"
He pushed his lips into mine and we shared a kiss. It was heaven… before he broke away suddenly. I frowned childishly, I expected him to laugh and pull me back to him.
When he didn't I turned to see him staring out of the back kitchen window intently.
"Edward? Edward what's wrong?" I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder.
"The werewolf pack just found out about Jacob's death… and as you know they were oblivious to the abuse…"
Horrible realization washed over me. "No" I whispered.
Edward turned around and told me so fast I barely caught it.
"Wake up Lizzy; we have to get you two out of here! NOW!" I complied easily. I ran over to her room and burst through the door, proceeding to shake her.
"Lizzy! Lizzy baby get up we have to go!" I shook her harder.
"Hmmm?" She mumbled half asleep.
"Lizzy get up NOW!" I screamed into her ear. She shot up in surprise.
"AH Mom? Where's the fire?!"
"I can't explain now but we have to-" I heard a chorus of growls and snarls coming from the outside of the house. We were too late. There was nowhere to run.
HAHA CLIFFY! XD I AM EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
