Paul POV:

I looked at my watch again and cursed. Bella was going to kill me. No she was going to castrate me then kill me. Oh god please let Bella forgive me. I knew Bella was angry atfor not even wishing her a happy anniversary. It's not that I forgot but I knew if I did she would kiss me, I would kiss her one thing would lead to another and the next thing I know I'm lying in the bed with her next to me and it's five o'clock in the evening. I needed to get out of the house and go to the mall to get her present first then come back.

When I got into the mall I was distracted by all the sales on the Toy Story toys. I grabbed the stupid Woody and Buzz Lightyear toy bought those then went to the store to get Bella's present. I then had to find someone who could wrap it because I was hopeless at that kind of stuff.

Finally I made back home only to hear the words I never wanted to hear coming from Bella's mouth. ". . . Like he's falling out of love with me." I could hear the tears in her voice.

I heard someone walked over and wrap their arms around Bella and I slowly walked to the window and saw Emily holding Bella. She pulled back slightly and smiled. "He loves you and the kids more than anything else. Sam has commented that he has never seen Paul as happy as he is now."

"Sure seems like it," Bella spoke bitterly.

I walked in through the door that led to the kitchen. "Bella . . . I . . ." I didn't know what I was supposed to say. Emily looked at me before walking out of the room to find Sara or Sam most likely.

"It's okay Paul, I understand," Bella whispered wiping her eyes and turning around to face the counter.

I growled lowly. "No you don't Bella because you're wrong." I dropped the bags in my hands and I walked over to her. I turned so she was facing me and grabbed her chin and made her look at me when she turned her face away from me. "I didn't leave this morning for a stupid patrol thing; I left because I was a bad father and husband and didn't pick up the boys or your present until last minute. I took so long because I got lost in the mall and couldn't find the stupid store where I had your present on hold.

"I could never fall out of love with you Bella, because each day I only fall more in love with you. I love watching you with the boys and Molly. This morning Sam called asking for my help and I did go stupidly for a bit before going to get the presents. The reason I've been so busy lately is because this vampire isn't just a nomad Bell," I paused wondering if what I was about to say was actually a good idea. "It's Edward." I finally whispered.

Bella gasped and pulled away from my hands. "Why didn't you tell me?" She glared up at me.

"Because you were pregnant at the time we first caught the scent and I didn't want to stress you out, I mean remember what happened with the twins?"

"So why didn't you tell me after yesterday or even this morning?" She whisper yelled obviously trying not to wake up the kids. I could hear Molly in her crib and Noah and Micah in their crib/beds.

"Because I just didn't want to worry you. I thought we would have had him by now. We don't know what he wants he hasn't really done anything other than sit in a stupid tree and taunt us." I whispered reaching for her and thankfully she let me pull her to my side.

I heard her sigh as she rubbed her face in my chest her hands were in fists on my shoulder blades but a minute later they loosened and she started to rub circles on them. "Just . . . tell me next time something like this happens. I'm your wife and I care what happens to you." She said pulling back looking into my eyes again.

"I promise Bella and I'm sorry." I smiled brightly while walking over and grabbing the small bag resting on top of the other bags. "I was planning on giving this to you later after Alice and Jasper took the kids but I guess now is as good of time as any." I handed the small box to her and waited.

She gasped when she flipped the lid open and tears pooled in her eyes. She looked up at me before looking at the ring again that sat snug between the beige, leather fabric. "Oh Paul it's beautiful." I had looked for over three weeks to find the perfect gift. It was a simple silver ring with a blue, circular diamond in the middle with to clear circular diamonds on either side of it. I had gotten it inscribed with the words 'You will always be my love-Paul'. It wasn't much but it was what my dad had inscribed on my mom's ring before the crash.

"I'm glad you like it love." I kissed her on the lips before smiling and placing the ring on her finger beside her wedding band. "You want me to get the kids?"

She nodded still looking at the ring on her finger, twisting this way and that way watching as the sun hit it on different angles. I chuckled and kissed her forehead before heading upstairs to get the kids. I walked to Noah and Micah's room first. I walked into only to see both their butts as they jumped back into their beds. I could hear their giggles as they tried to force them back. I could see the toy cars they were playing with on the floor and chuckled softly. "Hmm well I guess they're still asleep, oh well that just mean more cake for me, mommy and Molly." I started turning around only to be stopped by Noah and Micah grabbing onto my legs.

"No daddy we awake." Noah yelled and Micah nodded.

I chuckled and picked both my boys up kissing their cheeks. "Good know scoot your butts down stairs and go find mommy. I have to get Molly." They nodded and started squirming. I placed them on the ground and they were off. Noah might have been the louder of the two but Micah was definitely faster. I chuckled shaking my head and walked over to Molly's room.

I opened the door and her head shifted towards the sound. I was met with big brown eyes staring at me. "Hello, squirt." She started shaking her legs and I laughed walking over towards her crib. I looked down at her and ran my hand through her almost non-existent hair. She stared at me and I smiled at her leaning over and kissing her small nose. I stood there for five minutes before Bella called me down.

I picked Molly up and walked slowly down the stairs just in time to see Bella about to call for me again. I smiled at her walking closer to her. I kissed her lips gently and wrapped my free arm around her waist while still balancing Molly in my other arm. She was calm and staring at anything and everything that moved.

Noah walked over to me and smiled brightly. "Daddy?"

"Yes Noah?" I bent down to his eye level.

"Do Molly have to be here?" He asked sweetly.

I chuckled and heard Bella sigh. "Yes Noah, Molly has to be here. She's your sister."I said kissing his head and pushing him towards Micah.

"Told you," Micah mocked pushing Noah slightly.
