Sorry this took so long guys. Cringe. Close to a year, but I had work and no PC screws you. Hope you enjoy.

Laurent's POV:

"What should we do with them?" Laurent said breathing in deep. "That one there is a vampire and…she's with a human!" I looked over to Victoria who then looked towards the little girl.

"She's a vampire too or…hell, I don't know what she is. Let's just leave them..for now. We shall wait for the succulent one to be alone. James will definitely LOVE her. He's been waiting to get her alone for quite some time now."

I nodded in agreement, grinning. "You two have always liked playing perverse games with your meals. Join a game site, like POGO. I hear it is quite enjoyable."

Victoria glared at me and scoffed and continued deeper into the forest.

Bella's POV:

We returned from our get to know each other outing and I had begun to start to feel closer to my little Edward look alike. She was perfect. I watched Renesmee as she skipped ahead with Rosalie up the drive way. Her bronze curls swinging in a neat array. She was radiant and captivating. No other words could describe her. I would definitely have trouble with the boys later.

My abdomen started cramping. Maybe it had been a bit soon for all these fun and games. I had to rest. Entering the house, I leaned up against the wall. The room did a quick spin but I was determined not to ruin anything by my usual passing out.

Renesmee watched me with concern on her face. I smiled. I would be fine. Carlisle appeared at the top of the stairs. His face in a frown. I sighed. What had I done with this family? They never smiled any more. Well besides Emmett. I nodded to Rose as she took my daughter's hand and led her into the kitchen. I hurried up the steps as fast as I could.

"Edward is healing quickly, so no need for alarm. We are fast at that. He was in a scuffle with Jacob."

His name shot a stabbing pain through my heart.

"WHAT?" I didn't mean to raise my voice but I couldn't help it. I pushed passed Carlisle and threw open the door expecting to see a badly beaten Edward, but instead met a concerned one sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Close the door, Bella." I did as he asked.

"What's going on?" I was afraid to ask.

"He won't stop coming for her. I hurt him badly but he will keep on. He's insane. Obsessed."

I walked over to him slowly. My heart sinking. I kneeled in front of him. "Don't let him take my daughter."

"Our daughter." Edward corrected crisply.

"You know what I meant." I didn't understand where all this bitterness was coming from. My voice had shook a little against my will and my eyes watered. "I'm sorry for going off on you before you found her. I wasn't myself." I really wasn't because if I was I wouldn't want to give him head right now when I felt sad and rejected. This other Bella craved touch. Any touch from him. The real me, since I met Edward has been a bit over sexual, but the new one is even more so. He could stab me and I would still want him. I leaned forward and kissed just above his belly button.

"Bella.." It was a warning but I didn't much care. Sex wasn't a cure all but it did make him relax enough so we could talk.

"Just let me show you how I feel because my words aren't working." I pushed him back onto the bed, a little surprised that he let me. I unzipped his slacks and pushed them down only far enough to expose him. He usually watched me but instead he kept his gaze on the wall. I became even more determined. My mouth hovered over him and I was about to continue when he suddenly shifted away from me and sat up. His face was perturbed and he quickly righted his clothing. "But I thought…" My sentence trailed off.

"I tried to forget Bella, really I did, but I can't get over how you let that dog touch you." My eyes snapped up to his.

"You let that bloodsucking slut touch you first. YOU did this Edward. You! You're a fucking hypocrite. Always wanting everything your way and blaming others for your mistakes. Actually, not others, just me. I'm human, I make mistakes. What is your excuse Sir Perfection?" My voice softened as I sighed. "Look, do we always have to fight? Can't we be friendly with each other? Don't keep pushing me away when I've forgiven you. Forgive me…"

And with that his resolve waned.

"I know that Bella, it's even harder because I know what you say is true. I started this. I made you turn to him and now Renesmee will pay for it."

"Only if you let it happen."

The door cracked open and I jumped. I was getting more and more skittish as the days went by and I wasn't sure why.

"It's just me." Carlisle's voice flooded the room. "Renesmee is asking for you two."

I turned around and watched her peek around his body. Her smile was infectious and I couldn't help but to return it.

"Daddy!" She ran into the room and hopped into his arms. It was awe-inducing knowing we have this wonderful little girl that is a product of the love we once had for each other. She was so special. I watched Edward hold her and play with her. It was a bit shocking to me to see Edward in his father role, but I quickly got used to it.

Later on my dad came to see me. He was extremely disappointed in me, as usual. He talked to me a long time about how I was acting crazy and he understood that I was grieving the loss of my daughter. In actuality I wasn't any more. I contemplated a minute and decided that maybe I should tell him the truth about every one.

"Bella." The sing song voice called to me from down the hall. I rolled my eyes. Maybe later and definitely not here.

"Well? What's going on with you, Bells?" My Dad's voice snapped me back to our conversation.

"Me and Edward aren't too great right now, we both miss our daughter." He nodded.

"I'm sure having a little girl here now doesn't help that. Who is she?" I fidgeted.

"His niece. He had a sister in the east, died in childbirth. They had some family taking care of her but they couldn't afford it, so they found him and sent her here." That was the story I was supposed to tell every one. I sighed. I hated lying so much about her, but she was number one priority to keep safe. I didn't think I needed to keep her away from Charlie though. He was no threat to her.

"Are you coming home soon? I miss your cooking." I laughed softly. "You the most though."

"Yea, I think so. Edward will probably kick me out sooner than later." I was joking, sort of.

"Does he need a talking to?" He became serious very quickly.

"Oh, no. I was just kidding. We'll be okay. We both need time. Promise."

"All right honey." He got up from the bed and gave me a hug. "Call me when you need me."

"I will. Be safe."

"Will do." With that he shut the bedroom door.

I sank down from my sitting position into the comfortable bed and flopped down on the pillow. I heard the doorknob turn and I snapped at whoever it was to go away. I wanted to cry in peace. I hated being this way. What was the point of crying? It fixed nothing for me. I closed my eyes against them.

"Do I make you this sad all the time Bella?"

My eyes flew open and Edward sat down on the bed in front of my face. I wiped the tear away quickly. I didn't know how to answer the question so I lay there in silence for a moment, staring at him. Another tear came and then another until the pillow was wet underneath my cheek.

"Do you love me?" He was incredulous at my question. "No, really, do you? Because I've been wondering that very thing for a while."

"I do, we just hit a snag. All couples do."

"Change me."

"No."

"Why not? You want nothing with me. You didn't want sex. You didn't want a kid. You didn't and don't want this relationsh-" His mouth covered mine, stopping my little rant.

I was in shock, my eyes opened wide. I didn't expect this. I loved it though. This was how it used to be. We lusted for each other, loved each other, needed and wanted each other. This is what it should be like all the time. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in closer.

I sighed against him. Hell yes. Nothing else mattered besides these moments like right now and the little cute spawn of us it created. My mouth opened up to his more and he kissed me gently, fighting with his demanding side that wanted to force his tongue in my mouth. My moan cut through the quiet room.

At some point Edward had left me to lock the door but had not missed a beat. I barely realized he had gone and he was back. His kisses and closeness were making me more delirious. It had been too long since we had been gentle with each other. The barrier between us crumbled down. We were a family again. We were lovers.

His lips traveled down past my lips to my neck, and I secretly wished he would bite me. I arched more into them, begging in silence. He continued past that point down to my shirt and ripped it clean down the front. I gasped and my skin flushed slightly.

"Please." My voice sounded needy when I said the word. So much that I almost wanted to stuff it back in my mouth.

Edward's tongue flicked out tasting the skin of my nipple and he pulled my pants off at the same time. I lightly shivered as he continued, completely enveloping it with his lips. A montage of ooh's and ah's and oh's filled the room as low as possible. His hand slid down my waist and found it's way between my legs. He didn't have to wait to push them open, because I was eager for his touch. His thumb rubbed my clit like an expert and I had to bite my lip to not cry out. A cool finger entered me and it seemed to heighten the fire inside me instead of smothering it.

He lifted away from my breasts and I whimpered in disagreement until he continued lower. My eyes widened. Was he going to…Oh, my…yes! He licked my labia and sucked on it a bit and his fingers, his wonderful fingers, slid in and out of me at a good pace. He was bringing my body to new heights.

By the near end of it I was mad. My head tossed back and forth, I couldn't stop it. I couldn't control my actions. My legs were on his shoulders now and his head I was pushing into me. More, so much more, I needed more, was all I could think. I bucked my hips and pushed up onto his tongue.

Edward's hands were squeezing my breasts or pinching my nipples. I was going temporarily insane trying to be quiet. Then I felt it. It was like a rolling wave during an earth quake. Small at first and then stronger. I give that a 10.0 on the Richter Scale.

"Edward, I love you. I love you." It burst out of me during my orgasm that felt like forever until I collapsed back onto the pillow. He lapped at me slowly until I giggled from feeling too sensitive. I had never had an orgasm like that.

"We need a condom." Edward's voice brought me back from euphoria. I frowned, I enjoyed making love with him with out one. "If we're going to do this I am going to put one on, Bella. I can't get you pregnant again." I nodded. I didn't want to go through another whirlwind birth again.

I braced myself as he slipped between my legs. His eyes found mine and I smiled at him. He began teasing me pushing forward and entering me a little bit. I was glad to see the playfulness come back to life in our relationship. I was nearly breathless when he filled me fully. As big as he was I still took all of him in.

His fingers ran down my arms and he leaned back, taking my hands in his and bringing them above my head. I resisted at first but he said something soothing and I gave him the control. Not that Edward wanted that, but it was a test for me. I needed to get over he who I wasn't even going to think about. My tense body relaxed again, enjoying the pleasure pain of him. I missed it.

"Ohh crap!" I sucked in a deep breath when he found my g-spot. I heard Edward chuckle against my neck. After that I couldn't control myself. I wiggled my hands free and I pulled his head up by his hair. He growled low and captured my mouth again. About time. This time he was rougher, his tongue took up the same rhythm as his movements. My legs began to shake, so I wrapped them around him.

I met each and every forceful thrust with a shift of my hips. I was close again. Edwards harsh pants into my mouth told me he was barely hanging on as well. A lot sooner than I expected, I came, and I screamed into his kiss. I could feel the familiar clenching around Edward, but this time was different. It was intense again, and it seemed as if time stood still in this one moment.

My eyes still closed, I felt the vibration of Edward's moans against my lips. I wish I could feel him shooting his warmth inside of me but no such luck. My legs fell back down to the bed and I held him as he leaned heavier into my body in his post-orgasmic relaxed state.

EPOV:

I lay next to Bella after we made love and removed stray strands from her sleeping face. It was getting better wasn't it? We had finally became the kind of intimate where there were signs of moving forward. Renesmee was back now and I was still trying to grasp the fact I was a father to her. She was extraordinary in every way. Carlisle was stumped.

And so was I. I was starting to think that there was something different in the Swan lineage. How could I not read Bella's mind? She was the first person that I had ever come across that I could not. Charlie I could read but only in scattered pieces. Our daughter I could only read when she touched me. No, I couldn't even read her then. She was letting me hear her thoughts. I'm quite sure she had the capabilities of blocking them if she wanted to. That would definitely be a problem later.

As much as I wanted to, I couldn't stop my mind from straying to another topic. Jacob. I growled low in my throat. He would never touch my little girl again.
