As I lay in bed holding my angel while she slept, I couldn't help but worry about Tanya. I didn't like the direction her thoughts were going last night. For some reason, she thought that she could still win me over. Even after she heard my declarations to Bella and saw my face buried between her thighs. She still ran off with thoughts of how to win me and get rid of Bella.
That was what had me worried. I didn't think Tanya would actually kill Bella, but I was not going to take any chances. I was seriously worried about Tanya's mental health. She honestly thought that I would be with her after she tried to break Bella and me up. There was not a snowball's chance in hell of that happening. She wouldn't listen to me though; she thought I was just being a gentleman. She couldn't wrap her brain around the thought that maybe I didn't want her.
Bella and I had talked last night, after we were both completely sated. I was afraid that she would be upset that Tanya had seen us making love, but my Bella always surprises me.
Flashback
"Oh, Edwaaard!" Bella screamed out, as her orgasm rocked through her body.
"Wow, baby! You are always so amazing," I said as I kissed her nose.
Bella suddenly giggled.
"Did Tanya enjoy the show?" she asked as I stared down at her in surprise.
I was afraid she would be upset to know Tanya had witnessed something so private.
"How did..? I'm sorry love, you aren't upset are you?" I asked.
I really didn't want her to be upset. I just thought if Tanya heard and saw how much we loved each other she would back off.
"No, babe, I am not upset with you. She needed to witness how much we mean to each other; maybe she will get the message now. Besides, a good dose of reality is always a good thing. It keeps things real," Bella said hoping for the same thing I was.
"No such luck, though. She ran off after a few minutes of watching us and declared to herself she would get me and get rid of you at the same time. I won't let her hurt you," I said with a growl as I held her tight.
"Shhh, I know you won't, baby," she said running her fingers through my hair and kissing me on the lips.
"We need to talk to the family. She isn't going to listen to you; so maybe if the family tells her to back off, she will listen," Bella said wisely as she tried to stifle a yawn.
I chuckled at her.
"Go to sleep, love, we can talk to the family in the morning."

I couldn't believe what I heard and witnessed last night. If Edward would just give me a chance, I could make him feel good. That weak human could never satisfy him like I could. Never has a man, human or vampire, that has set eyes on me, ever said no to me. I would have Edward Cullen. I know just what to do!
APOV
We had left the house last night, after Edward had carried a giggling Bella upstairs. I swear those two were worse than Em and Rose. We were going to have to build them their own place, after her changing; or we won't be able to live with them. Hmmm, I needed to talk to Esme about that little cottage in the woods away from the main house. It would be perfect for them, and Bella would love it.
I had just taken down an elk and was going to go find Esme, when a vision hit.
"Oh no! Tanya, would you just stop this foolishness!" I screamed out in frustration.
Suddenly my family was beside me, concern was written on all their faces.
"What is she going to do now, Alice?" Carlisle asked in a weary voice.
Tanya may be a very good friend; and yes, we considered her family, but her antics were getting old. We were going to have to put a stop to this.
"Let's get back to the house first. Edward and Bella need to hear this too. Besides, I see that they want to talk to us, as well," I said as we all started running back to the house.
RPOV
What was Tanya going to do now? I wondered as we entered our home. Bella and Edward were sitting on the sofa waiting for us. Edward had a worried look on his face, and Bella just looked determined. I had to say, I admired and respected the way she was handling this whole Tanya fiasco. If it was my Emmett that Tanya was after, I would have already cold cocked that bitch. I did realize though that Bella was still human, so that wouldn't be very feasible for her.
We all took seats around the family room. Carlisle spoke up first.
"Well, Edward, Alice said you needed to speak to us about Tanya. I should let you know, Alice had another of vision of Tanya. She is up to something else," he said.
Edward growled low at the mental pictures that he was reading from Alice's head, no doubt.
"Well, don't keep the rest of us in suspense! We aren't all mind readers, you know!" Bella practically screamed in frustration.
I chuckled to myself; Yeah, I was beginning to really like my new little sister. I saw, now, why Emmett loved to be around her so much. She was not scared and was going to fight for what was hers.
Alice let out a heavy sigh, before she spoke.
"It looks like Tanya is planning on stealing your nightie from last night. She is going to try and seduce Edward, and then have you catch them in a compromising position. She is hoping to run you off and have Edward see what he is missing," she said.
The last part, she said with a wince. It was caused by the look of pure fury on Bella's face.
"I don't think so! I want some sense talked into that crazy woman. First, she spies on us while we made love, now this! If she can't stop this nonsense and respect mine and Edward's relationship, then she can leave," Bella yelled.
Bella face was purple; she was so angry. I think we were afraid she was going to pass out. All of us were shocked by her outburst. Bella was usually so calm. She suddenly looked defeated. That was weird, I thought to myself. What brought that on? I knew how Edward felt, now. I wondered what was going on in that head of hers.
"I'm sorry, guys. I know she is your family, and I'm just..," she was saying, before Carlisle cut her off.
He had that look on his face of a loving, but stern father. You know the one that said his child was being ridiculous, and a stop was going to be put to it.
"Bella, stop right there, you are our family. Really even more than Tanya is because we think of you as our daughter and sister. We love you and will never let anyone disrespect you, like she is doing now. You are right; she can either stop, or she can leave. In fact, it is still a few weeks until the wedding; she can go back home and come down for the wedding with the rest of her family, when the time comes," Carlisle said with such conviction; that if I was able to cry, I would.
Bella did cry, as she ran over to Carlisle and gave him a hug, surprising him.
"Thank you, Carlisle. I love all of you too," she said.
He hugged her back, and Edward came over and grabbed his hand and gave him the standard one-armed man hug. Edward then let us know that they were going to go and let us talk to Tanya alone.
"As Bella has pointed out to me, Tanya isn't going to listen to me; and I think it would just be better if we were nowhere around for you to have this talk," he said.
"Well, I suggest you two go ahead and leave now. Tanya will be here in about 10 minutes, and I see that it will go better, if you aren't here, Edward. She will try to make a scene, if you are anywhere near," Alice said.
"How about, we head to our meadow, love?" Edward whispered to Bella.
She blushed and muttered a sweet okay. He lifted her in his arms and was out the door. We all took our seats and waited for the vamp hoochie mama to arrive.

I arrived at the house, and all was quiet. Good, I could sneak into Edward's room, steal the nightie, and put my plan into action. I walked into the house and was surprised to see everyone, minus Edward and the human, sitting in the family room. They were all eyeing me. I knew Alice had seen my intentions. I knew how much they all loved me; so I decided, I would play it off as just a passing thought, and they would believe me.
"It isn't going to happen, Tanya," Alice said as she smirked at me.
Stupid all-seeing vampire, if I could rip that smirk off her face, I would.
"What are you talking about, Alice?" I asked her sweetly, feigning innocence.
"Stop trying to act innocent, Tanya. I know what you are truly feeling. I know how you really feel for Edward. You don't love him; you just don't like being told no. Leave him and Bella alone," Jasper said.
"Jasper and Alice are right, Tanya. Your plans are not going to work. You will only end up alienating yourself, if you keep this up. I think it would be good for you to return to Denali and come back with the rest of your family, for the wedding," Carlisle told me.
"Also, when you come back, you had best be on your best behavior. I don't want any trouble from you. Bella is our daughter, and I suggest you back off. Let me inform you of something, Tanya. Bella is human and can't physically fight against you and live, much less win; but don't think for one second, I wouldn't hesitate to take you down a notch or two," Esme said with a growl in her tone and her eyes black with fury.
This surprised me. Esme was usually so docile and peaceable. She was claiming Bella as her daughter and was taking up for her. Bella was ruining everything and turning my family against me.
"Fine, I will go home; and I won't make trouble at the wedding, but someday soon you will all realize I am better for him than the human," I told them.
I left it at that; and I ran upstairs, packed my bags, got in my car, and drove away. I would behave myself at the wedding, but I didn't promise anything after that. I grinned wickedly, as I sped down the deserted highway.
As I was driving, I vowed to myself that I would have him. After I had gotten what I wanted from him, then I would throw him back to her. He would realize then, how much better I was and leave her. He would be begging me to take him back, and I would for a short time. I would take him back just long enough to watch them all suffer, and then I'd leave him. Was I an evil bitch? Yes, I was, but that was what you got when you denied me something I wanted.
