Bella and I had decided that we wanted to spend New Year's Eve alone. Bella was seven months along; and next year we would have our beautiful daughter, so we wanted to take this opportunity for this night to be just the two of us.

"Let's just spend the night here in our cottage. I want to cook you a romantic dinner; then, draw you a nice warm bubble bath, and ring in the New Year with you while we make love," I said, as I cradled her in my arms. We were at our home cuddled up on the couch, enjoying a beautiful fire.

"Mmm hmm, that sounds wonderful, baby," she replied, as she turned around in my arms and straddled my lap and began kissing me. We made out like the couple of teenagers we were, until Bella's stomach started growling. She blushed; and I just chuckled at her, as we walked into the kitchen to fix her some lunch.

Later that evening, I was putting the finishing touches on Bella's supper. I fixed her new favorite thing to eat, steak extra rare. It looked completely disgusting, but who was I to deny my very pregnant wife? I also fixed her a fluffy baked potato, a salad, and her ever-present blood.

"That was so delicious, baby; thank you," Bella said, as she ate the last bite of her food.

"It was my pleasure, love. You know I love cooking for you and taking care of you," I told her, as I brought her in for a kiss.

"Now, how about that bubble bath I promised you?" I said standing up and bringing her with me.

"Only, if you join me," she said, smiling at me.

"Definitely," I said and winked at her, then picked her up and carried her to our bathroom. I sat her on her feet and instructed her not to move. I began filling the tub with water, making sure the temperature was just right and then added the bubble bath. I lit some candles to give the room a romantic glow. When the tub was filled, I turned to my gorgeous wife and kissed her.

"I love you so much, Bella," I said and began to unbutton her blouse. I knelt down in front of her; and with each new area of skin I exposed, I applied open mouthed kisses. I got her shirt off and placed a sweet kiss on our daughter.

After Edward kissed our daughter through my stomach, he began removing my jeans and panties. Once those were off, he reached behind me and unhooked my bra. When my breast fell free, he attacked them with kisses. He lavished my breast with attention for a few moments, until I was panting for breath. He hugged me to him in a loving embrace.

"Oh Edward, please," I begged, breathlessly.

"Please what, baby?" he asked between kisses.

"I need you; I need you inside me, please," I told him desperately.

"Yes ma'am," he said.

Suddenly, he was completely naked, and we were in the bedroom with him lying on the bed and me straddling him; and he was buried deep inside me.

We both moaned loudly with the incredible feeling of being joined together.

"Yes, Edward!" I screamed and began moving on top of him.

"Bella, baby, you feel so good!" he moaned loudly.

We moved perfectly together. There was no doubt in my mind that I was made for this man, and he was made for me.

"Yes, baby, you were made for me. You are mine, only mine; and I am only yours," he said; and with those beautiful words, we both exploded with our release.

"Only yours," I whispered to him, as he rose up and held me to him; and I kissed him sweetly on the lips.

After a few minutes, he rose up off the bed and carried me back to the bathroom.

"Let's warm this water back up and take that bubble bath. Someone distracted me with their beautiful body," Edward said with a wink and turned to warm the bath water.

I giggled.

"Well, someone was distracting me with their talented mouth. You know I can barely remember my own name when you do that," I told him.

He just looked back at me with that sexy, cocky smirk of his. He got in the bathtub and reached out for me to join him. I stepped into the deliciously warm water and melted into his embrace.

"This is heavenly," I said, sighing.

We lay in the warm bath, washing each other leisurely until it started getting chilly. We got out and dried off. Edward put on a pair of silk sleep pants, and said he was going to the kitchen to get something ready. I put on a pair of silk pajamas and padded my way to the living room. Edward was sitting by the fire on a blanket with strawberries and chocolate. I walked over to him and sat down on the cushion he had on the floor for me.

"I thought you might like a snack while we wait for midnight, love," he said, as he dipped a large strawberry in chocolate and held it up for me to take a bite. I bit into the juicy fruit and moaned at the taste; I loved strawberries and chocolate.

When I opened my eyes, Edward was staring at me his eyes completely dark.

"You are so hot," he muttered, then attacked neck.

I had no idea eating chocolate covered strawberries would get him hot. We ended up making love again in front of the fireplace. When we were finished with round two and sated for the time being, I finished eating strawberries and chocolate. When I was finished, it was five minutes to twelve. We turned on the TV to watch to ball drop. I was sitting in Edwards lap as we started the countdown. When we reached one, we kissed. I slid down on his hardened length; and as promised, we rung in the new year, making love. Later, we lay in each other's arms staring into each other's eyes.

"I love you so much, Edward. I am so glad we decided to stay in," I said, giving him a kiss.

"I love you too," he said, standing up with me cradled in his arms. We went to bed; and I soon fell to sleep, completely exhausted and completely happy.

It had been months since I had last seen Bella, but I was still longing for her. I couldn't explain it, but I had no doubt that she was mine. I had finally gotten finished with the present I had made for her. It was after Christmas, but that was okay. I knew Bella would love it; she loved handmade gifts better than anything the leeches millions could buy her. Now, I just had to get it mailed off. I needed to clean my room and clean myself up a bit. I knew she would come to me the minute she saw this.

Edward and I were up at the main house spending some time with the family. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett were playing poker. I had Edward's and Jasper's abilities cut off, so everyone could be on an even playing field; and that was the only way Emmett would agree to play with them.

"Now, I finally get to show everyone how good I really am. You two are going to suck without your abilities," Emmett said, laughing. That was two hours ago, and Emmett was now down twenty thousand dollars.

"What was that you were saying again, Emmett?" Edward asked with a laugh, as he raked the chips toward him.

"I don't get it; how are you two still winning?" Emmett said, whining and throwing his cards on the table and standing up. Poor thing, he was clearly tired of losing.

"Tells, Emmett, we don't need extra powers to read your tells. You, my brother, are like an open book; and we have had fifty years to learn your tells," Jasper said, as he cleared the table.

"Yes, Emmett, do you realize when you have straight flush that you play with your left earlobe?" Edward asked, and Emmett just frowned.

"Also, when you get a card that you want, you shuffle your cards around repeatedly," Jasper added, and Emmett threw up his hands in frustration.

"I can't believe that, tells you say? Thanks anyway, little sis," he said, very frustrated. He then ran out the door, more than likely to go over the game in his head to figure out more of his tells.

I had given him a sympathetic look; poor guy just knew he was going to win. Edward walked over to me where I was reading my book and picked me up and sat me on his lap. We had just gotten comfortable, when Carlisle walked through the door holding a small package, a very stinky package.

"Carlisle, dear! What are you bringing inside the house?" Esme asked, putting her sketchbook down and walking over to him.

"This is a package for Bella; it is from Jacob Black," Carlisle said, and I felt Edward body go rigid with anger. Carlisle walked over to me and handed me the package.

I didn't want to open this package, but I wanted to know what it was. Knowing Jacob, there was no telling. So I pictured myself opening it.

"What is in the package, Alice? Her vision clouded, and I saw the vision pop in her head. I saw myself pulling out a woven bracelet with a carved wolf charm attached to it. I could feel the anger rolling off of Edward, as he saw what I saw.

"What kind of bracelet is that?" I asked him.

"Jacob has given you a Quileute promise bracelet," he said through clinched teeth.

"Good grief! Can't that guy take a hint?" I ranted. I stood up and pulled Edward with me.

"Come on, baby; we are going to the post office," I growled out.

When we got to the post office, I walked up to the counter.

"I need to return this to sender," I said, without giving the teller a chance to say "hello."

"Is there a problem?" she said to me, eyeing Edward. I was in no mood for this.

"No, there is no problem. I don't want this. It hasn't been opened, so therefore you can return it; can't you?" I said, letting my irritation come through. She must have seen I meant business because she took the package then with no problem.

"Maybe this will get the message to him that I want nothing to do with him," I said to Edward as we walked out the door with our arms wrapped around each other.

I waited all day for Bella to show up at my house the day after New Year's. I knew she would have gotten it that day. I mailed it on New Year's Eve and the mail doesn't run on New Year's Day, so she should have been in my arms some time the day after. I never heard from her. I was beginning to get mad the next day. I went to check the mail, and there was my package. She returned it without even opening it! How dared her!

Then, I thought 'My Bella' wouldn't do that to me. The leech must have gotten it first and never showed it to her. That has to be the explanation!

School was starting back, so I wouldn't have time to see her any time soon. But the next time I saw her, I vowed I would do anything to get her to come to me and get her away from the leech.
