I was planning on waiting but… oh well. I already sent out previews as the first 5 reviews came in so, as to not torture you, here is the next chapter.

Enjoy!


Previously:

"I've got a big surprise waiting at home!" was Alice's ecstatic response.

Those words were going through his head for the rest of the day. Thought, that was mainly because they came from his mate's lips. The rest of my family was trying to figure out what the surprise was.

We all drove home. Rosalie and Emmett were right in front of us in the jeep. We don't only use my Volvo because there are now 6 to drive back and forth.


Edward's POV

As soon as I heard that song, I froze. Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper froze as well.

Someone was playing the piano.

Someone was playing one of my pieces.

Someone was playing Bella's lullaby.


Bella's POV

I panicked. How was he going to react when he saw me? He probably moved on. What right did I have to throw myself back into his life?

He was coming, I could sense it. I bolted to the corner of the room and became invisible. A part of me wanted to run away like a scared rabbit. But, a bigger part of me wanted to see him. Just see him with my own eyes.


Edward's POV

The room was empty. But, her scent was lingering in this room. There was no mistake about it. I would recognize it anywhere.

I fell to my knees as the memories attacked me. I had given up on trying to forget them long ago. I welcomed the memories and the pain they brought with them. But, somehow, the pain wasn't as bad right now.

"Bella, my love" I spoke in a whisper, my voice breaking. "Please, forgive me…"

Someone was suddenly hugging me from behind. I switched to instincts, the ones I have not used for 20 years.

"If I am dreaming, I never want to wake up" my angel smiled with tears of joy pouring down her cheeks.

I already had my angel cradled in my arms as I sat on the floor.

"Bella" I said her name over and over, still in complete shock.

"It's ironic, really" my angel laughed into my chest, hugging me tighter than should be possible. "I look all over the world for you for years only to find you by chance. I think I might have died somewhere along the way and went to heaven."

"Yes" I agreed.

She sat on my lap, completely unaffected by the obvious temperature difference in our 2 bodies.

"And was sent back down as an angel" I added, kissing her forehead.

I pulled her into another tight hug which quickly turned into a kiss. That kiss quickly became very passionate. All control of my human instincts went out the window. The vampire instincts were overruled by the fact that I was a man.

It was a wonder to me how I managed to actually understand what I was hearing around the house. I was too busy paying attention to the angel in my arms.

Clark – Dude, you'd better not hurt her!

I briefly wondered why Clark was so protective of Bella. Though, that thought only lasted a split second. As long as he wasn't a threat, I didn't care.

Rosalie – Oh man, this isn't possible! She's human yet looks the same!

Rosalie was happy, but still confused. I was a little confused myself, but I didn't care. As long as my angel was in my arms, I didn't give a damn.

Esme – I haven't seen him this happy in far too long.

Of course she was happy to have Bella back with us. Not only was she the one that kept me happy, she was also Esme's daughter. I didn't doubt that Bella was Esme's favorite amongst us.

Clark – I know you can hear me, you lying bastard!

What the hell was that for?

Bella laughed into my lips. I could feel her smirk. I quickly returned the smirk with my own.

"I think Clark just figured out that you and Eric are the same person" Bella chuckled.

Bella – Please don't leave, Edward…

It was faint but I still heard it. I heard my angel's thoughts. Though, it was only the 1, it was still something!

I held her tight as soon as I realized what she was afraid of. She still wanted me! She was afraid that I would leave. Could I really blame her?

"I will never leave again, Bella" I whispered into her hair. "Bella, my angel, my love."

"I never stopped loving you, Edward" she told me the words I wanted so badly to hear.

I crashed my lips into her and she returned the force.

I let my head drop to her shoulder as I lightly kissed her neck.

"Bella, I should have never left" I whispered.

"It's ok now" she whispered back.

She fell asleep a while later. I looked out the window to see that it was already dark outside. Wow, time passes fast when you are in heaven.

Please review and tell me what you think! I am going to check on this after work tomorrow just like I did today. The only reason I updated so soon was because the number of reviews put me into a good mood. If the same thing happens tomorrow, I'll do the same.

So, you review = me in a good mood = faster update = you're happy = you review = me in a good mood

See, it's a circle!
