CHAPTER 31

BPOV

It felt so good to run. I darted between trees and up and over branches and fallen logs. I understood why Edward had loved this feeling. I approached a small creek and decided to jump it. I cleared it by a wide margin landing twenty feet up in a tree. I giggled, unable to help myself. I sat down on one of the branches and relaxed for a minute. The exhilaration of running and jumping was awesome.

"Well Bella," I said to myself, "I guess it's time to get down to business."

I quickly dropped from the tree to the ground, landing lightly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I smelled him. I dashed towards the scent, finding the mountain lion about to pounce. I grabbed him from behind, whipped his neck back and sunk my teeth into his neck. The warm blood flowed down my throat. It felt good. When I was done I licked my lips and ran the back of my hand across my chin. I looked down at my clothes noting they were still clean.

"Wow! That was pretty good, if I do say so myself," I said to myself.

I was told that as a vampire the burning thirst would be the greatest thing on my mind, yet I had still never felt it. I decided that I was kinda sloshy and didn't really want anything else. I turned back towards the house and started back. I wanted to get back to my babies, I wanted to get back so that when Edward got there I would be waiting. I just prayed he'd be there soon.

I reached the river and jumped again launching myself into the trees again when I first smelled him. Even though I had never smelled him with my vampire senses I knew it was him. I sat quietly on my branch listening to his approach. As he neared, I grabbed a small branch from the tree and dropped it right next to him.

He jumped and I barely suppressed a giggle. He looked around for a minute smelling the air. I did it again then swung down, landing behind him silently as he looked up into the tree. Standing inches from him, I reached my hand out and tapped his shoulder. He swung his whole body around to face me and I launched myself at him, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.

"What the he.." he started, before I kissed him.

He stood shocked for a second before kissing me back. He pushed my back against a tree and we said nothing for a long time. Just letting our need for each other overrule everything else. It was minutes before we surfaced again, drawing unnecessary breaths.

"Oh my Bella. I missed you so much," he said grabbing my face and looking in my eyes. "I'm so sorr..."

I cut him off by putting my finger over his lips. I looked him in his eyes and kissed him softly one more time.

"I love you Edward Cullen," I told him.

"How can you? How can you love me? After all I've done. How can you say that?" he said, putting me down on my feet.

"Because it's true Edward. I love you with my whole being," I told him, looking into his golden eyes.

"How did this happen?' he asked, "Who?"

"There is so much to tell you. So much to explain," I told him, kissing him again. "But first I want to show you something. You need to come with me."

"Bella is there someone else?" he asked quietly.

"Yes and no Edward. There are others that you need to meet. I love them too, BUT you are my chosen one. You are the man I want to spend forever with, hopefully as your wife," I said, holding up my hand where I still wore my engagement ring.

"I don't deserve you. I don't," he said sadly.

"Maybe not... but you are stuck with me anyways." I told him.

"Bella..." he started.

"Edward do you love me?" I asked him.

"With every fiber of my being," he answered.

"Do you still want to marry me?" I asked.

"Yes, but how can you...." he replied.

"Shhhh." I said as I put a finger on his lips. "Before I let you blame yourself for anything you need to know. I am not mad at you. You left me, but you didn't leave me alone. Now you need to come with me. NOW."

I grabbed his hand and started to run towards the house. He ran with me.

As we got to the porch I yelled to Rose, "I'm back Rose and Edward is here with me."

"YAY!!!" I heard her say from inside. "I am going to go hunting and let you two talk."

"Ummm Rose," Edward said, "The rest of the family are parked by the old mill. Emmett should be there by now."

"On my way!" she said..

"Tell them Rose, but give us some time okay." I called to her.

"Yup," she said.

"Oh and Rose......" Edward called, "Thank you."

"No problemo big brother. Just remember to thank me again later," she called, running out the back door.

"Why is she translating the Bible into Swahili?" He asked me.

"Wow... this is going to be har,." I told him, suddenly nervous.

"Bella do you hate me?" He asked.

"Not at all. I love you with all that I am. I just need you to stop blaming yourself for everything. Edward, I believe everything happens for a reason..." I started.

"Bella, I feel like you are trying to hide something. I want to know everything," He interrupted.

"Believe me I am getting there.... and you will know everything. I promise," I told him. "Listen to the sounds inside the house. What do you hear?"

"Breathing, and heart beats. Small animals?" He guessed.

"Nope," I answered. "What do you smell?"

"That same scent from your cabin. Bella what is it?" he asked.

"Edward after you left, I got sick. I couldn't eat. I lost so much weight, Charlie was beside himself. By Friday, I knew that I needed to go to the doctor. Something was wrong," I told him.

"Oh Bella, I should have never left," He stated sadly.

"Am I going to be allowed to tell you or are you going to keep interrupting me to blame yourself?" I asked him.

"But I shouldn't have left," he said.

"I agree, but as long as you promise to never do it again I will forgive you," I told him. "Especially if you will let me continue to tell you this."

"Okay I'll be good. No more interruptions," he promised, pretending to lock his lips and throw away the key.

I smiled thinking of when I did that. The bomb he dropped on me was him not needing to breathe. My bomb was going to blow his out of the water!

"So I was sick... Charlie laid down the law. He said if I wasn't better by Friday I would go to the doctor. I decided to shower and get dressed to go. I had done nothing all week and needed to get cleaned up. I had a quick shower and looked at myself in the mirror. My face was gaunt. I looked awful," I paused looking at him as he winced. I kissed his lips softly and whispered, "I love you."

He took a deep breath and smiled, his lips still locked.

"I went to put my jeans on and I couldn't get them done up. I stared down at my abdomen and noticed it was swollen. At that point it dawned on me," I said looking at him in the eyes, realizing the truth had not dawned on him yet. I smiled and took a deep calming breath ready to go on when I heard a noise from in the house. My children were waking up.

I waited a second looking at Edward to see if realization would dawn on him. He looked as confused as ever.

"I realized that I had all the symptoms of pregnancy. The second I knew it was possible, I knew it was true. I packed a small bag and got into my truck. Thanking Alice for leaving me the money."

He was absolutely still and no longer breathing.

"I drove to Port Townsend and bought a test, which I did at a gas station. Definitely pregnant," I told him.

He still hadn't moved.

"Edward, we're parents. We have two beautiful babies. A boy and a girl. I called them Jace Edward and Arriel Carlie. Named for our family," I was talking quickly and nervously now as he still hadn't moved.

Arriel and Jace were both squawking in the living room, so I moved away from Edward who was still frozen in place on the porch and opened the door.

"I'm going to go and see them. They need me. Come in when you can. I love you Edward. I need you... so do they," I told him and kissed his frozen lips.
