Sorry for any typos!! On to the next chapter! Oh, and all of the outfits are on my profile!!!

Chapter 13 BPOV

I know just the outfit

I stared at myself in Alice's huge bathroom mirror. I looked gorgeous. I lightly touched a piece of my hair, and twisted it in my fingers until Alice smacked my hand playfully. We were all in front of the mirror. They had all dressed up too, so that I didn't really stand out in anyway. We looked like we could be going to a party or something, and I smiled.

Esme had on a simple black halter dress that hugged her perfectly, Rosalie also wore a halter, but hers was red and much shorter. It cut into a subtle v revealing a little of her cleavage. Alice, in my opinion, looked absolutely amazing. Everything she wore suited her, and tonight she looked even cuter if that were even possible. Her short pixie hair shot out at the ends, and she wore a pink dress that hugged her mid thighs. The shoulders squared off around her small frame, and she looked beautiful.

I loved my dress though. It was perfect, and it fit me perfectly. It was a dark blue dress with spaghetti straps, and it came to a few inches above my knee. It hugged my chest tightly accentuating the small cleavage I did have, and it cut into an angle down just a little lower on my left thigh.

Alice let me wear small flats because even though I was much more graceful I kept accidentally twisting my ankles, and snapping the heels off of Alice's beloved shoes.

She was not happy when her favorite pair of Jimmy Choos broke in half.

The boys had gotten back a while ago, but we kept them downstairs even though I desperately missed Edward I wanted to look gorgeous, and also because we kept changing outfits and hairstyles, but now we were done. There was still an hour left before they all arrived so we finally decided to go downstairs.

We came down the staircase slowly. I kept my eyes down on the floor in front of me. I heard the guys whistle though, and I smirked. I looked up slowly. Emmett had Rosalie in his arms dipping her slightly and kissing her softly. Alice had her hands on Jasper's arms, and his hands were on her waist. All they did was stare at each other, but it felt so intimate that I looked away. Esme and Carlisle were together on the couch just leaning their heads on one another, and Edward just stared at me. His eyes honey gold from the hunt, but smoldering with desire.

He came to me slowly, and took my hand bringing me to his chest. He gently kissed my lips, and went to deepen it, but I pulled away.

He cocked his head in confusion. "Why are all of you dressed up?"

"Didn't you hear Edward? Guests are coming?" I said as I gently touched his cheek. I didn't want him to think he was unwanted. I just needed to keep looking decent, and I also wanted Tanya to see him pine after me like he wanted to jump me, as Alice had so delicately explained it.

He furrowed his brow in confusion, and then let his eyes drift away. I know he was looking into Alice and Rosalie's minds. Realization came over him, and he smiled my crooked grin.

He suddenly pulled me flat against him with his hands tightly against my hips. He was learning what that did to me. His lips were at my ear as he spoke,

"You want me to trail after you like a desperate man, love. You want to make her jealous, make it known that I am yours?"

I couldn't think. Damn him and all of his dazzling abilities. All I could manage to do was nod.

I slowly put a hand on his chest and pushed. "I can't risk it." He cocked his head at me, and nodded.

"Then I am yours to command. I guess tonight I will be a desperate man again." he said with a fake sadness to it, and then his smile broke out against his face. He leaned forward and kissed my lips softly, and I felt a moan start to form, but I leaned back and spoke softly to him.

"Don't worry though, you only have to be desperately trying to get me until I cave, and Edward I will eventually cave."

Then we all started laughing. Edward pulled me into his chest, and I looked around the room. It was a beautiful sight. We were all in the arms of our mates, and I sighed sadly a little. Why did they have to come? We were all so happy, and I didn't need to feel threatened.

Jasper met my eyes, and I knew he was reading my emotions, so I assumed that meant Edward was in his mind picking at them. I wrapped my arms tighter against his waist as my insecurities grew.

Luckily, we didn't have to wait long. After about 10 minutes the Denali coven was at our door knocking. I choked back a pointless gulp and waited with the family by the fireplace. Rosalie went to open the door.

I could hear them before I saw them. They sounded beautiful. I clutched Edward's arm tightly, and then stepped in front of him. He settled his hands against my hips gently this time, pulling me back so that we were touching. I looked up at him, and he smiled, kissing my forehead. I looked back, they were coming in now.

"Rosalie, oh hunny, you look stunning as always. Why so dressed up?" I heard a man ask. That must be Eleazar. I heard Rosalie brush away the compliment.

"You know, so much time on our hands and so many clothes that us girls decided to dress up just to get some use out of our wardrobe."

I heard them all laugh. It sounded like gentle bells tingling. It was beautiful.

Then they walked into the front room, and they all stopped looking up at me. Tanya stopped too, but her eyes stayed locked on Edward's hands which were still gripping my hips pulling me against him.

She was beautiful, not as gorgeous as Rosalie or as cute as Alice, but she was still very attractive. All she wore was a pair of tight low cut jeans that exposed her hip bones, and an extremely tight purple colored button up blouse that was left open at the top exposing a very flattering and full chest. Her strawberry blond hair cascaded down her shoulders to the middle of her back.

Yup, my ego definitely took a hit. How had Edward ever denied her. I was definitely not that good looking. I suddenly felt very small.

Carlisle broke the silence.

"Carmen, Kate, Irina, Tanya, Eleazar, I know that last time we met we were going through some family difficulties, but as you can see those issues have been resolved. I would like you all to meet Bella." there was no hesitation in his voice. He made it clear that I was here to stay.

I slowly stepped forward slightly, and raised my hand slowly, "Hi, it is really nice to meet you all."

I smiled softly trying to seem calm, and everyone seemed to relax except Tanya. Her eyes would not leave Edward's hands on my hips. I was getting self conscious with her staring, it was extremely awkward.

Kate spoke first, "Bella, you are beautiful. I thought Edward's descriptions were an exaggeration, but here you are, as beautiful as he said." I smiled at her, she had a face that was kind and beautiful too.

She walked up to me and hugged me, then moved on to greet everyone else. Eleazar and Carmen did the same, hugging me and saying welcome to the family, and Irina slowly came up to me.

"Why did the wolves kill Laurant?" she asked me softly not meeting my eyes.

"Huh, I um they killed him because Victoria sent him to kill me." I hadn't known she knew Laurant.

She looked up and met my eyes, and I saw pain. She must have loved him.

"I'm sorry Irina, I didn't know." I whispered. I didn't like seeing her pain.

She smiled weakly at me and hugged me. "Not your fault at all, he was an idiot for listening to that crazy woman. He only followed her out of fear, but I tried to keep him away from her. It just wasn't enough."

She shrugged her shoulders, and made her way around the room.

Tanya still hadn't moved. Her eyes were angry looking now, and she had looked up to stare into my face. I cringed into Edward from the hatred I saw there, and I heard Edward growl dangerously.

Whatever she was thinking, I was sure he did not like it.

Suddenly Alice yelled.

"Tanya, you will do no such thing! This is our home, and Bella is part of our family. Her and Edward are together, and always will be, and you will not stay in this home intending to attack her!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper were in front of me and Edward.

I was scared. Why in the world would she want to attack me! Edward had rejected her before. What made this different.

Seeing the tension, Tanya stood up straight and looked around. "I apologize. I was just taken by surprise." she said too innocently. She stepped forward extending her arms to me. I looked up at Edward and he nodded at me encouragingly. I slowly stepped forward, and let her take my hands into her.

"It is so nice to meet you Bella. Congratulations on finding your way back to Edward, you are truly lucky to have him." I saw her eyes flicker over my shoulder to his face, but then she came back to look at me. "You look wonderful, this life suits you well."

Then she moved around the room too, casually skipping Edward. He pulled me back against him, and I gratefully leaned my head back against his chest.

Esme spoke now, "Emmett, would you please take their bags to their rooms?"

"Sure thing mom." Then he moved swiftly grabbing all of their bags, and putting them in the guest rooms. I was happy Esme had told me Kate was getting the room next to mine and Edwards. Tanya would be staying downstairs next to Carlisle and Esme's room.

We all sat down together and talked. I just sat on Edward's lap quietly saving the space for the guests. He kept rubbing circles with his thumb around my thigh, and every now and then he would kiss his way around my arm that was facing him.

It was very distracting, but I was happy he kept doing it because Tanya kept looking over at us.

Ha! I wanted her to be jealous, and see that he was mine. Nobody was going to have inappropriate thoughts about my Edward as long as I was around. Okay well, I couldn't stop her thoughts, but I could make her see that it was me he wanted physically.

Suddenly Tanya spoke. She had been quiet for a while like Edward and I.

"Let's all go shopping! I hear there's a cute boutique in town with special designer items"

Oh no, I hope Emmett didn't hear that. I could hear his booming laughter shake the house. Then he was in front of Tanya.

"Shopping Tanya, I hope you don't want Bella and Edward there." he kept laughing.

I was getting worried, the windows were starting to rattle.

"Of course, I would want Edward there Emmett? Why wouldn't I?"she said trying to sound innocent.

It wasn't just me that narrowed my eyes at her. We had all noticed how she so casually left me out of the conversation. Emmett stopped laughing, and Edward pulled me against him again. I looked around the room, Carlisle's face looked irritated, and Esme bit her lip. She loved me, but didn't want to be rude. Alice was shooting Tanya a nasty glare.

I hoped Emmett made this good. I wanted it to sting her.

He spoke deeply now, I could tell she had irritated him. He liked to tease me, but I was still his new baby sister. He would do what I wanted. He would make it sting.

"You don't want Edward and Bella with you when you shop Tanya, because they'll start fucking each other in the dressing rooms. You see Edward here, can't help himself around her, and really who can blame him, she is gorgeous. You'd be lucky if you could even make the drive without them screwing each other. Trust me Tanya, we've had it happen, and once they get going, they really don't stop."

She just looked at him, and her eyes went black.

I know she had irritated everyone because Esme hadn't even scolded Emmett for his vulgar language. Tanya's family and Rosalie and Jasper were on the balcony landing looking down at us. I could see Kate and Irina shaking their heads in disappointment at Tanya.

"Lies" was all she hissed.. "Edward is waiting."

Now Carlisle started to chuckle and everyone looked at him. He was laughing, and he appeared calm, but his eyes gave him away. Carlisle was officially irritated.

"Oh, Tanya," he stated like he was having a casual conversation. "I wish he were lying, I don't like to think that my children engage in such risky behavior in public, but unfortunately, I have even walked in on them."

"What!!" it seemed like everyone yelled at him at once. Esme kept silent, a bemused smile on her face, and Alice and Edward suddenly burst out laughing.

Edward spoke now, "Oh Dad, um did I ever apologize for that because I am sorry you had to see that."

Tanya stood up now, her eyes were pitch black, but nobody acknowledged her. Emmett whipped his head at Edward and me. "What did you see dad! Spill!" he shot out, Emmett wanted to know, but I also knew this would irritate Tanya so I slightly encouraged it.

Carlisle's eyes met mine asking for approval. "Go ahead Carlisle, oh and like Edward said I am sorry, I never should have let it go so far in the woods."

I heard Jasper shout from the balconies. "Woods... No wonder you didn't come home faster."

Emmett was shaking with laughter, and everyone looked amused and happy except Tanya. She was shaking and looked like she was going to explode very soon, and not in a pretty or happy way.

Carlisle finished his memory. "We were hunting, and me and Alice went our own way to find our kill. Bella had only been awake for about a day, but her and Edward had already been intimate together when she first awoke, so I guess the heat got to them or something because when we came back, Edward had Bella up against a tree, and she was basically wrapped around him." he ended with a smirk across his angelic face. He was purposely exploiting our sex life to make it clear that we were together.

"And she kept ripping off his shirts!!!" Alice basically exclaimed before curling over in a fit of hysterics. I heard the entire crowd upstairs laugh. Everyone smiled except Tanya. She was standing now staring at me angrily and it quickly grew tense and quiet.

Carlisle stood up slowly, and walked to Tanya making sure he was placed in between me and her. I could still see her face though. Her eyes locked on mine, and wouldn't look away.

Instead of feeling scared, I felt angry.

He was mine.

She wanted him.

She'd have to take him.

I pushed myself off of Edward's lap and stood up. Edward growled trying to keep me in his lap, but I was still stronger than anyone here. I was still a newborn, and my wrestling with the family had helped teach me how to fight. I stood directly to the side of Emmett so Carlisle was no longer in front of me. I held my head up high and kept staring at her as her eyes followed my movements.

I would fight for Edward. She'd have to kill me before I let her touch him.

Edward quickly stood directly behind me, and nodded for Carlisle to continue.

"Tanya, I think you should sit down." he spoke quietly now. Esme was at his side, "Tanya, please don't be difficult," she stated it gently.

Tanya's family stayed upstairs, but you could hear them.

Kate and Irina softly called her, "Tanya please let it go. They love one another."

Carmen was silent, and Eleazar spoke firmly, "Tanya, enough of this, this is their home, and Bella is family. Let it go. Edward belongs with her."

She whipped her head and glared at him, and hissed.

Everyone but me, followed her gaze, and looked up at her family. I kept watching her. We were directly in front of one another, and I smirked.

Bring it stupid strawberry blond Barbie bitch.

Before anyone could move, she threw herself into the air, and I let her come.

I gently pushed Edward back so he couldn't stop me, and leaned back as she clawed at me and missed.

I was faster than her. I knew I was stronger than her. I just had to remain focused.

She clawed again, and I could see my family wanted to stop her as she came forward constantly trying to attack me, but I kept dodging her.

As she took another claw at my chest, she met the fabric of my dress tearing a piece off of the part of the dress that covered my abdomen. I growled fiercely now, and I heard a window shatter.

I was angry. Edward kept pacing behind me wanting to grab me, and pull me away from harm, but I dodged him too.

This time when she lounged for me I quickly stepped to the side, grabbed her strawberry blond hair and whipped her full force against the wall causing it to shatter and buckle behind her. She growled loudly and threw herself out of the debris flying at me. Emmett tried to intercept the blow, and get her out of my path, but I threw myself over him and caught her by her shoulders bringing her to the floor. I roughly drew my fist back, and punched her square in the jaw.

I wanted to kill her, but I knew I couldn't. Her family was here, and she had been family before today. I growled fiercely at her.

"Edward is mine. Leave us alone."

I stood up off of her, and walked back to Edward's side leaving her in the floorboards. He put his hands against my cheeks, and lifted my face to his, and he kissed me deeply.

As he released me I looked back at her, she stared at the two of us with a mixture of anger and sadness clouding her eyes.

Esme looked infuriated.

"Oh, Esme I am sorry about the house," "Bella dear, it is not your fault," she said calmly to me, but then she turned to talk to Tanya, and her voice was smooth and quiet, but it seemed deadly and heated.

"Tanya, get out of my home. You dare attack one of my daughters. You dare to walk in here, and try to make Edward take you instead of Bella. You are no longer welcome here."

Tanya pulled herself out of the floor, and looked at us.

"Edward..." she said quietly, "You should be with me, why can't you see that." She let out a strangled choke and I growled again. Edward pushed me behind him into Emmett's arms, and he locked me in an iron cage.

He slowly walked towards her.

I thrashed against Emmett. Fierce growls were ripping through my chest. What was he doing, why was he going by her, I thrashed harder. I could feel Emmett's hold slack. I was almost free.

"Jasper" I heard him mutter, and in an instant another pair of iron arms wrapped in front of me.

I threw my head back against Emmett, and rocked into Jasper. I wanted out.

"Edward!" I growled, Tanya looked at me over his shoulder, and I knew she was up to something.

The knot in my stomach rolled, and I thrashed harder. Even with the two of them restraining me, they could barely manage.

"Calm down, Bella." Emmett tried to sooth me, I could feel the waves of calm that Jasper was trying to send, but I was too enraged.

I suddenly felt a band inside of my head snap and I threw my head back in pain and cried out,

"Edward!" this time he looked back at me, and his eyes were full of wonder.

"Bella," he said softly. "I can hear you."

Carlisle's eyes opened wider, and Alice's mouth hung open.

I didn't know what they meant, but the band hurt my head, and all I could see was Edward. Tanya was moving towards him, with her arms outstretched.

I growled louder pushing against Jasper with my legs and kicking out against Emmett.

I was free, but then their arms were back around me as I lunged out after Tanya.

Trust me, love. I only love you Bella.

I stopped short. Edward was in my head. Oh my God.

Realization hit me.

Edward had heard me. That snap in my mind.

Yes, love, please just relax.

I could feel my eyes bug open, and I fell back against Emmett. Jasper and him seemed shocked at the sudden deflation of my struggle.

"Edward" I whispered. "Please.."

They had reached each other now, and Tanya was smiling like she won a trophy. Edward softly smiled at her, and leaned forward to whisper in her ear.

I felt the hole in my chest open, and the edges caught fire.

"You disgust me Tanya. You are vile, and if you ever try to hurt my Bella again, I will kill you."

Then he threw her out of the shattered window, and rushed to me.

Emmett and Jasper released me from their cage, but I just collapsed on my knees to the floor.

Edward heard me, and I had heard him.

Then I felt a snap against my skull, and I fell backwards.
