I don't own Twilight, it belongs to Stephanie Meyers

Edwards POV

Seeing Bella was tearing me apart. Her smell had changed, and I knew why. I couldn't hear the heartbeat yet, but I knew that very soon, that would beat loud and Bella would become aware, she was no longer alone. It tore at me, the thought that Bella was carrying Sam's child. She was maybe, only two weeks maybe three weeks pregnant, but she was. Her hormones were changing, and soon Bella would swell. I hated the very thought that Sam had Bella for the rest of her life. He'd held her in his arms, and taken her body for his. I couldn't see any mark yet, but I was sure, it was only a short time away that Bella would take his marking. I heard the wolves bit the wrist of their wife, so other wolves would respect her, and so they would always carry part of their mates scent. The idea of the wolf sinking his teeth into Bella made me ill.

The night I'd left Bella, every inch of my heart shattered. I had left Forks, but I'd also left my family. I stayed in cheap hotels, wishing nothing more than to die. Coming back to Fork's and finding out that Bella was in love with Sam, that had changed everything! My world was black and dark. The only thing that kept me going, was Carlisle and Esme. Carlisle was my longest friend, and closest thing to family I had! Esme, she came along not long later, and my love for her was deep. Rose and Emmett became the brother and sister I'd never had, and soon, Alice and Jasper. I had envied them a lot, with them all happy and in love. I was always alone, until I had met Bella. She was my every movement, my every thought, and now, I had lost her for life. She'd almost begged me to consider being friends, but that was too painful. The idea of her in Sam's arms made me sick. I would have been able to live with the idea of Jacob, but there was just something about Sam!

I sat at my piano, like I did every day. I played song after song. Rosalie was pissed with having to listen to a lullaby I'd written for Bella. It was the only thing that made any sense to me, and I held it close. Carlisle had pleaded for me to try going out, or hunt, but if I didn't, the pain meant I was the equivalent of alive. Yes, I didn't have blood, nor did I breath, but the first for blood told me I was still on the earth. It wasn't until Esme had pleaded, and begged me to go hunting with Emmett that I did. It wasn't to make myself better, but to shut her up. I knew my family were worried, but why should they care? I was alone and I had no choice.

The only person that could save me was Bella. My Bella…

I let out an angry yell, smashing my piano in half. I looked at the splintered wood.
"Edward?!" Came Carlisle, flying into the room. He stood staring at the piano and me.

"Edward, what is wrong?" He asked, trying hard to understand. I looked athim and turned away.
"I was thinking about Bella. You could smell it Carlisle, I know you could." I said to him. He let out a sigh.
"Edward, the baby is not our concern, now is it our right to tell her." He said to me. I wanted to scream, destroy, find somebody and kill them within an inch of their life.
"I love her Carlisle!" I said turning to him. He didn't look angry, but looked calm and collected.
"Edward, I know you love Bella, but her heart is with Sam, and soon with the child she is carrying. Sam will be able to give her the life, you, yourself wished for her." He said softly. I looked at him and looked down.
"I'm going to go hunt. If I don't I'm afraid of how I will behave tomorrow." As I went to the window to jump into a tree I heard Carlisle speak once more.
"Edward, let her go. If you love something, you should always protect it, and want nothing but the best for it." He called. The words stung, and I knew he was right, but that didn't mean I wasn't still going to make Sam Uley's life hell. Sure, I didn't want any harm to come to the wolves, but that didn't mean I wanted them to have it easy either. I would let Bella live the way she wanted. I would set her free, and let her live with her child and future husband. I would just be waiting for the day, my heart was no longer hers.

Bella's POV

I had watched Sam sniff out our house, to everywhere Victoria had been. I watched smugly, as Sam tried to navigate about without knocking things over. Once satisfied, he phased back.

"Okay, everything is clear… but it doesn't mean I'm satisfied that you are safe. Tomorrow, you will be coming with the pack to meet the Cullen's. You can watch and stay close by." He said to me. I smirked and wrapped my arms around him.
"Sam, you don't need to worry. I am sure with my constant wolfy guard; I am the safest woman right now." I said crossing my arms as he swept me off my feet, carrying me to the lounge and dumping me onto it. I smiled up at him as he leapt over, landing on me. I softly captured his lips.
"Sucking up isn't going to change the new rules." He grumbled. I shook my head, seducing him by running soft and lingering kisses up his neck.
"Bella…." He frowned, as I slowly ran my fingernails up his back.
"You are an evil woman, you know that?" He asked as I now softly grinded myself against him. I smiled as I arched myself hard against him.
"That's it!" He said standing and throwing me over his shoulder. I laughed as he carried me up the stairs, walking into the bathroom. I frowned confused. He turned on the shower. I screamed and laughed as she shoved me under the cold water. I laughed as I fought to free myself from his grip.
"I thought you needed cooling off!" He said smirking at my drenched clothes.
"Sam Uley, you are evil!" I laughed, trying hard to press myself against him, to share the cold water.
"Sharing's caring!" I laughed, trying really hard to wet him.
"You can keep it!" He said holding me off at arms-length,

I wasn't sure how long we stayed, trying to wet each other, but I had fun. I was careful of my once again, injured wrist. After we dried off, I was eager for sleep. Sam snuggled up with me, as I laid in bed. It took almost no time at all, by the time I fell asleep. I was exhausted and in need of rest.

I awoke to my phone sounding, and it startling Sam and I awake.
"Hello?" I said slightly confused and groggy.
"Hey Bell's." Came Charlie's voice.
"Oh, hey dad." I said a little stunned.
"Hey, I got a call from your principal this morning." He started. I groaned slightly, no longer really caring about school.
"Yeah, and what did he say?" I asked, waiting.
"He wanted to find out how the funeral was, and with everything being up and about, offer you a choice to study from home. He said it really wasn't fair for you too miss so much school near the end of the year, especially since your finals are in a month anyway. He said all you'd have to do, if drop your completed work off, and if you did it fast, you may even be able to graduate early." He said to me. I smiled at that thought.
"Okay, sounds good. I really don't want to have to drive the thirty minutes every morning and after noon to and from school." I said to him.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking, so if you take this, it means you get all your work and work at it, handing it in sooner than you would at school. I am happy for you to finish this way." He offered. I smiled at the thought of never having to tolerate Jessica Stanley again.
"Dad, tell him I accept!" I said eagerly. Dad softly chuckled.
"We will have to drive in tomorrow. I need to fill out forms, and you'd have to clean out your locker." He said to me.
"Well, I'll see you bright and early." I said to him. Sam suddenly shook his head.
"The training!" He said to me. I froze.
"Oh, ah, dad, second thought, we may have to make it after 10 if that's okay." I said into my phone.
"Sure Bell's, that's fine. See you tomorrow." As I hung up, I looked at Sam.
"No more school for me. I get to finish it externally." I said excited. Sam looked a little worried.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" He asked as I snuggled back down beside him.
"Yes, I don't want to drive all that way and back, not to mention, most of the work, I already know. This way I can finish early!" I said excited at the idea. He held me softly in his arms.
"Well, if that's what you want." He said smiling. I nodded.
"It is." I answered simply. And it was. The idea of not having to go back to the school made me happy. I would be able to see more of Sam, and stay home and not have to put up with the worries of high school. It would all be over in a month, and I wouldn't need to look back!

I was up early with Sam, as well as all of the pack. Some looked excited, like Seth and Collin, others looked damn right annoyed, like Leah and surprisingly Embry. They all decided that morning, they would all stay wolves, as Sam needed to give out orders. I was carried out to the field by Sam. The wolves stayed in a tight formation. I slid off Sam as the Cullen's walked out. I smiled, missing the sight of all of them together.
"Hey guys." I said brightly. Esme, Carlisle, Alice and Emmett returned my smile. Jasper seemed on edge, and anyone who knew him, knew he was on edge at the best of times, but today was different. Rose seemed annoyed and glared at the wolves.
"Thank you for joining us." Carlisle said to the wolves.
"Today, I will be handing over to Jasper, as he has the most experience with a new born." He called to the pack. I watched as the wolves watched closely, as I sat in the wild flowers.
"New born's are not your average vampire. They are stronger, and faster, and they will destroy you if they get the chance. Never let them get you from behind, as it may just be the last thing you do." He looked at the wolves.
"New borns, are ten times stronger than us. They still have human blood lingering in their veins. It usually lasts a year, before they lose it. They are also unable to fill their thirst. Human blood is like heroin offered to a junky. They will do anything they can to reach it. They will kill anything in their path. I suggest, you watch my examples. Even the slightest mis-step could lead to your death. Never, under-estimate them."

I watched as Jasper had each of his family members attempt to attack him. He was a lot more knowledgeable then I had first thought. I watched at the agility and the swiftness of every move they made. It made me see them in a different light. I knew, if I was found by Victoria again, I wouldn't make it out alive a second time. It made me nervous, as I watched Emmett smash Edward into the ground. I watched as Alice flipped over Jasper. Rosalie ran at Esme, pushing Esme back with such force, it was amazing that Esme didn't budge. The wolves didn't participate, but I did know they were watching and taking notes on stratigies. I watched as they used their thought dialect to communicate.

"Sam wants you to join them. They are about to leave." Came Edwards voice. I looked up at him. I slowly went to push myself up to stand, but he held out a hand. I slowly took it, feeling myself being glided up.
"Thanks." I said softly. He gave a weird look at my stomach and walked away. I frowned, looking to see if I had spilt breakfast on myself. I couldn't see anything, but I knew I hadn't imagined the look. I slowly made my way to the wolves.
"Sam has asked me to say thank you for all the information and allowing them to watch." Edward said to Jasper and Carlisle. They all gave a friendly nod, as Sam went to leave. I looked at him.
"Sam, just give me a moment." I said softly. He stayed on the spot as I walked over to Carlisle and Esme.
"Can I come and visit you this afternoon? I would like to talk to you?" I asked. Esme smiled.
"You are always welcome to visit Bella, you never have to ask." She said hugging me. I smiled a little guilty.
"Thanks, well once I finish at school and things I need to do with Charlie, I'll pop over." I said smiling. I hadn't been able to drive my truck a while.
"Well, I will send Emmett to meet you at the treaty line. I don't want you coming alone." Carlisle said a little over protectively. I tried to fight the frown that appeared, but nodded.
"Okay, well I'll message you when I'm finished." I said turning and walking away.

Charlie sat with me at the school. Mr Morgan's went over everything with Charlie. Charlie signed and signed his name away. Once I had signed, stating I was happy to finish the school term external, he asked me to leave them, and empty my locker. I walked out, smiling as I walked to the locker.

"So your back!" Came a snide voice. I turned from my locker to see Jessica. She was glaring at me with hate. Her nose was still tapped down, and slightly purple.
"You'd think, after copping a smack in the nose, you'd have learnt your lesson by now." I said looking her over. She glared with hatred.
"Mike told me how you threw yourself at him! I can't believe you are even here! If I was as big of whore as you, I'd never show my face again." She spat. I grinned at her.
"Wow, threw myself at Mike? Mike who? Cause if you're talking about Newton, I'd hate to tell you this, but I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. I know where he's been, and I am not nearly desperate enough to touch something that shares a bed with you. And the whore thing, the only man I have slept with, is 6 foot 6 and drop dead gorgeous. Oh, and did I mention, I love him? Tell me Jess, does Mike know about Jack Philip's, or Embry? I don't know why Embry looked twice at you, but I suppose, if your giving the milk away for free." I eyed her over. She seemed so pathetic to me now.

"Say what you want about me Jess, cause everyone knows what you are, and it's not me that will die a bitter old woman with no one beside her. I live with the man I love, and nothing you say, will change that you are bitter and jealous." I said looking at the anger boiling over her face.
"Oh and Jess, I hope you find whatever it is that makes you hate me. I am happy with whom I am, and it's sad you have to try and tear others down to make yourself feel better. I know all about the little bitching session's you have behind Ange's back. Tell Mike I said sorry, but in his dreams. I am with a real man, not a boy wanna be." I shut the locker, smiling smug as I walked away. I heard her snarl in anger. I turned just in time, to see her attempt to hit me. I side stepped, letting her fall backwards on to the floor. I shook my head, walking away.

"Good luck with life Jess." I walked back to the office. She seemed so angry, it made me feel sorry for her. I couldn't understand where so much hate and anger could come from.

"Got everything?" Charlie asked as I walked into the office. I nodded.

"Yeah, there's nothing here left for me, dad. Let's go." I said smiling. Mr Morgan smiled at me, holding out a hand.
"It was lovely to have you at Fork's High Bella." He said to me. I took his hand and shook it softly.

"Thanks Mr Morgan. Bye." I said walking away. As Charlie and I walked out, Jessica was standing at my locker, with a permanent marker. I looked at Charlie who stood looking at the girl who was now defacing school property.
"You are aware, Miss Stanley, that de-facing government property is an offence, and I have the right to arrest you?!" Charlie asked her, causing her to jump and squeal. She looked at dad with shock. I had never seen the girl pale so quickly.
"Bell's why don't you drive back home, and I'll take miss Stanley to the office. After all, I am sure he'd love to know that she was writing…" I watched as Charlie read the writing. His face turned angry. He suddenly turned, dragging Jessica with him. I walked to the locker. I looked at it, and sighed.
"Bella Swan is a Slutty, trashy, boyfriend stealing whore who suck's anyone who looks at her sideways. Want a free fuck, call…." I stared at my number. Great, now I needed to change my number. Charlie was furious, and I knew he'd now be asking all sorts of questions about my sex life.
"Fucking hell Stanley…" I groaned annoyed. The girl had reached an all new low, even for her.

Okay, I loved this chapter! I hope you guys do too! I love the fights between Jess and Bella. Again, I hate the character of Jess. Please don't take that as I hate Anna Kendrick, because I love her! I just hate the bitchy backstabbing side of Jessica! And yes, Bella is indeed pregnant. It has been two weeks since their first time, and Kim's assumption about contraception's is correct. I have made it that the Cullen's can smell the hormone changes in Bella. She's only currently two weeks pregnant and has no idea of yet ;) Anyways, review, review and review ;)
