I slowly wake up from a terrible dream. It was daytime as I could tell as the light in the window burned my eyes. My eyes were not completely focused but I could see someone rocking in my chair. I knew it had to be Carlisle; he is the only one who would be in my room, watching me sleep. I rise up and yawn. Then I open my eyes, which were focused now. My heart jumps through my throat and I almost fell out of my bed.

"Edward!" I say in disbelief. He was still as handsome as ever, except under his eyes were darker than usual. Other than that he still looked like the man I once loved. My heart was beating rapidly…part of me wanted to just hug him and the other part wanted to stick a stake into his heart (Not that staking him would do anything to him…I had just been watching Buffy reruns a little too much lately).

"W…why are y-you here?" I asked, pulling the covers over me, covering the thin tank top I was wearing.

Edward looks at me. His face was unreadable, "I wanted to see you."

I grab the robe off my bed post and put it on. Then slide out of the bed walking to the other end over my room. I turn and look at him, "You can't just come into my room like this."

Edward stands up but does not take any steps towards me, he asks, "How come you still keep your windows unlock?"

I shrug, "I don't know. Habit I guess." I wonder if he may be curious about Carlisle and I now…

Edward says, "Well you shouldn't keep it unlock. Not with Victoria and her clan out there…"

I roll my eyes, "Is that why you came? To lectured me on my window being unlock? Anyway a locked window would not keep out vampires."

Edward sighs, "True but it would at least keep the bad humans and werewolves out."

I say coldly, "Why are you here?"

He looks at me bewildered, "I just came to see how you were doing?"

I glare at him "Why would you care?"

Edward looks at me hurt, "I know I hurt you and really it was not my intentions. I just thought if I left then you may be able to have a normal life that you deserved."

I sigh interrupting him, "I always told you I didn't want normal and you never listen to me or respected me enough to let me make my own decisions."

"Edward responds, "I did respect you Bella but you were too lovesick to know what was right for you."

I swiftly turn to him looking at him with disbelief, "lovesick? Why was my love not good enough for you? Was just some love sick little girl that you grew bored with?"

Edward pulls his fingers through that perfect bronze hair of his, "I didn't mean that. You know I loved you Bella and I knew that you loved me. You are just young and I was not sure if you even knew what love was….I had planned to come back for you eventually, when you had got older and little more mature."

"Mature? You are the one who runs away with your tail between your legs when things got tough. You're the one who isn't mature."

Edward sighs, "You were so eager in becoming one of us and all you could think about was vain things like looking too old to be with me 20 years from now if you stay human. You would not take in the consequences if you threw away your life."

I cross my arms, "That was not my only reason. I wanted to make it easier on Jasper so he wouldn't have suffered by the scent of my blood. I wanted to be able to protect myself from other vampires….I knew I would lose my friends and family but I was willing to risk that for you. But that didn't matter to you…because are stubborn."

Edward says, "Well maybe we are both wrong in some aspects. I am willing to meet you half way, now."

I take an exaggerated breath, "And what if I have move on?"

Edward says, "Is there someone else now?"

I could not answer because I felt extremely guilty. If he only the other guy was his father but I figure the tears falling down my cheeks answered his question.

Edward then grabs his phone out of his pocket and answers. He was talking way too fast for me to understand.

He looks at me sadly and say's, "Who is the guy?"

I say pulling my robe tighter over me, "None your business."

He asks, "Do I know him?"

I take a deep breath. I was a horrible liar and my face answered everything for him.

He grumbles, "Well I hope it is that Newton guy and not that mongrel Jack Black."

Oh you will wish it was Jacob when you find who he really is…

Then before I could blink he was gone. I pull down and lock the window that was unfortunately not vampire proof. I fall onto my bed and sob. All the emotions I had felt after he left me in the forest came back. I hated him for that.

CPO V

I had just returned home from hunting, the rest of the family join Alice and Jasper in cottage not completely sure why. I had called the Quileute's before I left to hunt and they agreed to help. They seem to enjoy they fact they will able to kill some vampires…even if they wished it was us they were killing. It was time now to seek out a plan. I had to make sure everyone on our side came out alive.

I was about to head up to my office when I hear a familiar voice behind me. "Hello Carlisle". I stop in my tracks and slowly turn around. There she was, my first love standing in the living room.

"Esme" I say.

I could not quite read Esme's expression but it did not look good.

She says, "Bella? Of all people it had to be Bella…"

I say carefully, "I am not sure if I understand, Esme."

Esme says with dry sobs, "I knew Carlisle that we were separated but I had thought it was because we had been together over 60 years and needed a tiny break. I fully expected that we would get back together."

All I could say putting my hands in my pockets was, "I am sorry."

She says with fury in her voice, "I must have been wrong because you have quite enjoying yourself since you have been sleeping with Bella. The girl that I thought of a daughter and Edward your eldest the boy who thinks the world of you…how could you does something so cruel?"

I ask her, "How did you find out?"

She laughs humorously, "I can smell you and her everywhere. I know you may have tried to clean everything so you could cover up the smells and that may have work for the rest of the family but I already had a hunch you may be cheating on me so I searched for evidence and the smell in one of those guest bedrooms is strong."

I say defeated, "I am deeply sorry and I wish I had an explanation but I have fell in love Bella. It happened unexpectantly…never wanted to hurt you or Edward."

She looked at me hurt and betrayed, "Bastard." She then slaps and I feel a painful sting. I rubbed my face. I deserved it, I know.

She says betrayed, "I mean it hurts that you cheated on me but with Bella Swan? She was like a daughter to me. She was in need of a motherly influence and I took her in because she was child Carlisle. A CHILD!"

I just look away ashamed. She say's heading towards the door to the garage, "You are disgusting."

She then says before fleeing out of the house, "I am going back to Alaska and you can tell Edward yourself…I hope he rips off you worthless head."

About that time the family comes in and Alice was a few steps ahead of the rest of the family and the look she gave me, told me that the newborns were near.

Alice asks, "Where did Esme go?"

I sigh, "She decided to go back to Alaska. She had some business to tend to."

I ask, "Where is Edward?"

Rosalie rolls her eyes, "At Bella's trying to win her heart back again. "

My hearts tighten at the thought of Bella with Edward. It was jealously I was feeling. I also worried what effect it would have on Bella seeing Edward. I needed to go see her now.

"I need to go to the hospital to check on a few things. I will be back later tonight." I lied.

I look over to Jasper, "I put you in charge in creating a strategy to defeat Victoria and her army. This is your cup of tea."

Jasper smiles, "I will be honored to do so."

I grab my white coat that had Forks Hospital embroiled on it. I throw it on and in an instant I race towards Bella's house. I flip my phone open and call Edward telling him Victoria and them were near and he needed to go home so he could prepare for war. I honestly just wanted to get him out of Bella's room.

BPOV

I was in the fetal position on my bed. Tears stream down my face. I was so confused about me feelings. I should be over Edward and it shouldn't be this hard to try to let him go. I knew I wanted and needed Carlisle but I wonder if I still lust for Edward in some way.

I heard a knock on my window and dreaded that it may be Edward again. I just couldn't face him again but when I pull myself up, I could see the golden locks on the other side of the window pane. I run and open the window and Carlisle pulls himself inside. He pulls his white doctor's jacket off and sets it on my rocking chair.

I burst into tears and start explaining. I knew Alice had seen everything and so I had to let him know my side, "Edward came just a little while ago and it seem like all the emotions that I had because of him started pouring back. I was hurt but then again happy….I'm confused."

Carlisle was standing there like a statue just patiently listening to me and watching me break apart.

Carlisle says without emotion, "Bella if you want to try to patch things up with Edward, I understand."

My heart almost broke when he said that…why he just going to give me back…like he just borrowed me while Edward was gone.

I look at him, "What? Why do you want to get back with Esme?"

Carlisle shakes his head, "No, Bella. I told you Esme and I was over. I just want you to be happy."

I stomp my foot angrily like a teenage girl, "I had thought you would try to fight for me or get jealous or something…not hand me off like you were renting me until Edward came back. I thought you loved me." I could feel the traitor tears fall down my cheeks.

Before I could blink Carlisle was right in front of me. Then his lip smashed into mine and within seconds all our clothes were off. Carlisle was eager his lips touching every part my body. He then enters inside me. He was quicker and a little rougher than usual...I moan with pleasure as he grunts.

I kiss him deeply and he moans. Finally we both moan loudly as we finish together. I was breathing heavily and he kisses me gentle and softly. "I love you." He says. "Don't ever think I don't love you."

"I love you too. "I say snuggling into his chest. Carlisle says softly as his hands rub circles around my back, "The selfish part of me wants to take you away and hide you from all the males in this world, because I am scare of losing you. But in reality it's your choice."

I rise up and say, "I want you Carlisle. There is no doubt. It's just he brought back a heap load of emotions tonight…"

Carlisle softly pulls a strand of hair out of my face and smile, "I was hoping you would say that. But I am still going to give you time to think…this is a lot to take in."

I say "You can give me all the time in the world but I already know that I want you…and not saying that because I am still high on the wonderful sex we had…" a smile crept on my face.

Carlisle laughs and rolls me over so he was now on top of me. His blond hair that is normally perfectly in place was hanging in his face. "I probably should have had this discussion before I ravaged you…I just can't resist you."

I bite my lip, "Believe me I didn't mind."

Carlisle kisses me deeply and says, "I am sorry but I have to leave soon."

I say now worried, "The battle with Victoria. It is soon isn't it?"

Carlisle nods and softly caresses my face, "Yes my love but we will win and then I will be back for you."

I say looking in directly in the eye, "Promise?"

Carlisle leans in for one more kiss and says against my lips, "Promise."

He then slides out of bed and explains, "Alice needs to be far as possible from the wolves, so she can see Victoria's motives clearly. So she will be picking you up soon. Not going to go over any other details since it is possible we are being watched by some of the newborns"

I ask, "What about my dad?"

He says as he buttons his shirt, "Billy has already made plans for the two of them. He will be safe."

I slide out of bed and hug him tightly, my naked body was pressing against his clothed body. Carlisle groans, "Bella my love. I am going to have a hard time leaving you in this state."

I blushed when I could tell his was getting aroused again. I say, "Well you need to hurry and kill Victoria and her minions…so you can come back to me."

Carlisle kisses me softly and chuckles "Will do."

Then before I could blink, my Knight of shining armor was out the window.

I grab my things and take a quick bath. I get dress and hear a knock on the door. "Come in" I say. May not been the smartest thing to say when there is a vampire who wants vengeance is after me. But I figure they wouldn't be polite enough to knock before draining my blood and breaking my neck. They would probably just barge right in.

It was my dad and he says with his hands press at either side of my door frame, "Well I just wanted to let you know Billy had invited me on a last minute fishing trip. I wanted to make sure you were okay with it first."

I smile reassuring him, "Yes dad I am fine. I think I may just stay over at Alice's anyway."

Dad nods, "Good; makes me feel better that you won't be alone at the house…not sure if I am comfortable with leaving you over night."

Dad's eyes then seem to fixate on something; I follow his eye's path. Oh crap it was Carlisle's jacket.

Dad walks to the chair that it was hanging on. He could tell it was not mine, since it looks to be a few sizes too big to fit me. He picks it up and see's the name tag that says Carlisle Cullen, he ask has he raises an eyebrow and looks at me, "How come Dr Cullen's jacket is in your room?"

I say trying to think of a good enough excuse, "I wore it home the other night because I forgot I had it on…Alice let me borrow it because their heater was out and I got really cold." I lied.

Dad looks at me curiously not quite sure if he bought it but then he just shrug, "Oh okay. Well you be sure to give it back to him. I am sure he probably needs it…"

I nod, "Yeah but I think he has several so he isn't missing it right now."

Dad says, "Well be safe. Billy is just about to pull up."

I nod, "Okay dad. Bye and you be careful too." I wanted to tell him to watch out for a creepy orange hair woman…but he wouldn't understand…I am already two steps before he puts in a looney bin.

I watch out the window as Charlie throws his bags and fishing poles in the bed of Billy's truck, before getting in his truck. They pull out of the drive way. About as soon as they pull out I see Alice's car zoom into the drive way. I only saw a blur leaving the car and when I turn around I jump and scream.

My heart was beating fast, "Crap, Alice you scared me."

Alice says, running to my closet putting clothing in a suit case, "We have to hurry Bella. Victoria will be here sooner than I had thought….we have to get you out of harm's way…"

I say watching her grab things and throwing them in the suit case almost frantically, "What about the others…where are they."

Alice says, "The rest are waiting about 80 miles north of here…going to meet Victoria and her clan half way….hopefully."

Reality had just came and I realize that most everybody I love was in huge danger right now…because of me.

Alice then says, "Come on Bella. We need to go now." She pulls me on her back and we are outside at her car before I could blink. I get in the passenger side as she throws my things in her truck and gets in the driver side. She puts the car in gear and goes full speed. I had to close my eyes because I felt I would be sick if I looked at the road.

We arrive at hotel in a town that did not look familiar. I didn't care to ask where we were at…I had too many other things on my mind.

I sit on the queen size bed with the maroon and blue stripped bedspread when we get into the room. It was a small town and the hotel was not fancy by any means. The furnishings look as if they were from the 1980s. It had cable TV and wireless internet at least.

I look at Alice, "Do you think they will be okay?"

Alice looks at me and says, "I really don't know. I can't see the outcome with the wolves being in such close proximity."

I nod, "Have they met up with Victoria and them yet."

Alice shakes her head, "Not yet. Soon though…"

CPOV

We stand in the forest, we can see the sea in the distance, which is the exact place that Alice saw in her visions of where Victoria and her clan were going to enter on to land.

Edward was standing by me. I could see him keep glancing at me curiously.

He finally speaks up, "Carlisle. What are you hiding from me?"

I look at him keeping my face as calm as usual "What do you mean?"

Edward says frustrated, "You, Jasper, and Alice have been blocking your mind from me ever since I had got back. Must be something you do not want me to know."

I say, "We have a war coming up on us soon. You don't need confusing thoughts flooding into your mind." I am not sure why" confusing" was the word that I chose to use.

Edward asks, "Confusing? Why is she in love with someone else?"

I couldn't honestly answer that question. It pained me to think of how much he will hate me after he finds out about the truth. I say, "Edward it is not my place to talk about Bella's personal life. "

Edward grumbles looking over at the russet color wolf, "I bet it's that dog….I always saw how she looked at him."

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I pull it out and there was a text, "They are coming" from Alice.

Edward's attention was on the sea and I could tell he was reading their thoughts.

I ask my family, "Are you ready?"

Emmett says with his fist clenched ready for battle, "Bring it on."

Edward nods in agreement.

BPOV

I wait impatiently in our secret hotel room. I was afraid that someone will get killed or badly injured. I had already watched four movies on HBO and a whole season of Friends on Netflix. Alice has been sitting there as still as a statue, trying to concentrate on her visions. They were hard to focus on because of the wolves.

I sigh frustrated, "Can you tell if everyone is alright?"

Alice says coming back to Earth looking at me and sighs, "I have been trying but I barely see anything with those mutts around."

I nod, "I can't believe they are all fighting for me. When they find out about what I have been doing for the last few months….they will wish Victoria had got a hold on to me."

Alice says sitting on the bed next to me, "No they won't. Yes maybe they will not be too happy that you and Carlisle have been having a secret affair….but it will take a lot to break our family apart. We have all done things far worst in the past…"

I raise an eyebrow, "Like what?"

Alice shakes her head, "Not saying. I may tell you once you become one of us."

Alice then says, "You should try getting some sleep. It is late and all you have been doing is watching television for most of the day."

I shake my head, "I can't possibly sleep with all this going on."

Alice says, "How about eat something? You haven't eaten anything since this morning."

I shrug, "Nah. I am okay."

Alice sighs, "Carlisle is not going to be too happy with me if you are not healthy when he comes back."

I say, "Fine I will make a sandwich and may try to take a nap."

Alice smiles, "Good."

I make a sandwich and eat it quickly, Alice hands me a opened bottle of water and I gargle it down before getting in the bed. I was surprised how drowsy I became and I soon fell asleep.
