Previously...

"Carlisle, I need you." A voice not belonging to Mary Alice cried.

"What is it? I need to be at home." I asked getting aggravated. My side pieces didn't seem to understand that the mother of my child came first.

"I think I'm in trouble."

My heart stopped. I had worn a rubber with everyone else. Mary Alice was it for me. I wasn't chancing knocking anyone else up.

"What kind of trouble?"

"I can't talk about it over the phone, but I think I know what happened to your brother."

I didn't even want to know what kind of fucked up shit she had gotten into, but I wanted to know what she knew about my brother. I contemplated where I should go. Curiosity won over.

"I'll be there in a little while." I said hanging up.

I sent Mary Alice a text telling her I was tied up and would be a little longer getting home.

I drove straight to the apartment I had been going to for the last couple of months.

Edward's POV

I knew I should have popped one in Charlie and one in the Denali whore he was fucking, but that would leave too many unanswered questions. He had to know a lot more about what was going on than I originally thought. I intended to find out.

I stepped a little further back in the hallway and listened. I didn't want to watch while they finished. It was bad enough hearing it.

An impressive hour later, they both fell back on the bed.

"What did you find out?" Charlie's gruff voice drifted into the hallway.

"Nothing yet. He is so far up his baby mama's ass, our girl hasn't gotten any good information. She will soon though, I promise." Kate replied softly.

Where they talking about Carlisle?

"What do you know about the Cullens?"

"They are part of the Volturi crime family. Worried about your baby dating a criminal?" She cooed sarcastically.

"She deserves to be with someone better than her father. I don't want a life of deceit for her."

Charlie was a dirty cop? Who the fuck was he working with?

It sure as hell wasn't our family.

He knew who the fuck we were though.

"You're a good man, that's why I love you." She giggled before I heard their lips smacking.

I could really go for a cigarette. Couldn't they just talk and not have all the foreplay involved.

I wasn't leaving until I got some more answers.

"I love you, too."

Gag me with a fucking sock.

I checked my phone to see a text from my father.

Leave now.

I waited a few more minutes to see if I heard anything besides their bodies smacking together before I left.

I needed to go home, throw up, have a drink, and try to forget the images that were permanently burned in my brain.

Charlie wasn't working with our family, and aside from Kate, I doubted he was working with the Denalis. Who the fuck was he working with?

A million things were running through my mind as I drove to my parents' house.

I wanted so bad to run to Isabella, but this mess had to be handled.

My father and Emmett were waiting for me in his office.

"This adds a whole new level of crazy." Emmett said as I poured myself a very tall whiskey.

I widened my eyes momentarily, but said nothing.

"There is no telling what he knows. We need to find out." My father said lighting a cigar. He looked worn out.

"How did it go with your thing?" I asked sitting down and chugging half my drink.

"In and out. I'm sure someone will find him soon. His guards were slacking off. He should have replaced them already. In his old age, he has become softer. When this comes to light we will call a meeting and I plan to take over."

"It's about time." Emmett commented kicking back in his chair.

"What about Charlie?" I asked my father.

My being involved with Isabella added a conflict I had never had to deal with. There are reasons for the rules we have. Leave it to me to blow that shit out of the water.

"Bug his house, we'll listen for a little while before we make a decision. As for your girl, what are you going to tell her?" My father raised his eyebrows.

I wasn't sure what to tell her. She couldn't be kept in the dark, shit was too dangerous.

I didn't want her to go home, at all. That would be hard to explain to her father.

"I'll deal with it when she wakes up in the morning. I'm keeping her all weekend. Charlie is obviously distracted so I don't think it will be a problem."

"I'm ready to go home." Emmett's voice was gruff from lack of sleep.

None of us had had much rest lately.

Every time I think shit is winding down, it takes right back off.

"We'll learn more over the next few days. Take care of that bug, if he sweeps for them, we'll have to take more drastic action." my father said waving his hand to dismiss us.

All I was worried about at the moment was getting to Isabella. I needed to feel her safe in my arms. I would deal with everything else as it came at me.

Carlisle's POV

I had my gun ready in my hand just in case this was a setup. I wasn't taking any chances with Alec's death fresh on my mind. My father has been foolish in his choices after we had been attacked numerous times.

"I've been waiting for you to get here!" She cried opening the door before I could finish knocking.

"I came as soon as I could." I said coldly looking past her. I quickly searched through her little one bedroom apartment as she watched me with tears in her eyes.

"You think I would set you up?"

"A man can't be too careful." I said adjusting my coat. I didn't plan to stay long enough to take it off. "So what do you know?"

She began wringing her hands together.

"Alec was sleeping with Tanya and she is a friend of mine." She spoke with a shaky voice. "Tanya was also sleeping with one of her father's guys, Tommy. He is on his way up and fast. I overheard them arguing when he found out she was with Alec also. He wasn't happy at all. He roughed her up a little."

"Are you fucking kidding me, Heather?" I growled. It would be like my dumbass brother, God rest his soul, to fuck the enemy's daughter.

"I didn't hear anything to say that Tommy did it, but you guys don't take that kind of thing light. I just thought you might want to look into it." She said stepping closer to me.

I didn't reply, instead I let this information soak in. It would be normal reaction for another made guy to kill my brother over his woman. Not that the Denali girls were anything short of whores, and that's coming from me.

Heather placed her hands on my chest and looked up at me.

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

"I can't. I already told you I was headed home."

She stuck her bottom lip out like that would change my fucking mind.

"I'll do it anyway you want, just please stay." She pleaded.

I pushed her hands off of me and walked to the door.

"See what else you can find out." I grabbed the doorknob. My phone started vibrating in my pocket, but I ignored it. I would deal with it once I was in my car on my way home to Mary Alice. "Oh, don't mention I was hear, Cookie, you got that?"

"Of course."

My phone never stopped vibrating on the way to my car.

That shit was going to get on my nerves. I planned to go home and spend a little time with Alice then do some snooping around.

Once I pulled away from the curb, I pulled my phone out.

I had several missed calls from Jane, Alice, and Demetri.

I didn't even check the voicemails before calling Alice first.

I prayed she hadn't gone into labor early.

"Oh thank God! I've been trying to get hold of you! Jane hasn't stopped calling me." Mary Alice cried out.

"What the hell is going on? Are you ok?" I asked speeding up.

Mary Alice had cried a lot since she got pregnant, but she sounded distraught.

"Car- Carlisle, they found your father tonight..."

"What do you mean found my father? Found him how?" I shouted into the phone. I cringed at the way I must sound to her.

"I'm so sorry, baby." She cried harder.

"I'll be there in fifteen." I hung up and dialed my sister hoping to get a different reaction.

"Where the fuck are you?" Jane shouted into the phone.

"Check your tone. I'm headed home to Alice. What the fuck is going on?" I demanded as the uneasy feeling in my stomach grew larger.

"Daddy is dead! Someone killed him. I found him when I came home..." She burst into tears.

I felt tears sting the back of my eyes.

This had to be a cruel joke.

I had just lost my brother, and now my father?

"This can not be happening." I murmured into the phone.

Jane only cried harder and I heard someone shooshing her, before taking the phone.

"It's Felix, you need to get over here immediately so we can deal with this."

"I know what the fuck I need to do, you dumb fuck! You better hope I don't fucking shoot you when I get there." I yelled into the phone before throwing it against the passenger window, cracking the screen.

I would pick up Alice and head to my father's house. I wasn't going to leave her alone at as time like this.

Mary Alice's POV

I was just about asleep when Jane called my crying hysterically. I couldn't understand her at first. Finally I could make out Marcus and dead. My heart broke for Carlisle. He had been a bastard to me, but I would never wish for someone to loose a parent and right on the heel of him loosing his brother.

Someone was targeting them. This war was going too far. I felt very vulnerable in my physical state. Sammy was always in the house with me and two more guys were always outside, but it didn't make me feel any better. Carlisle said pregnancy would make me worry more. If you ask me, it wasn't the pregnancy at all.

Sammy helped me get ready, packing a bag of snacks and waters while I quickly put on some warmer pajamas. I've never went out not dressed, but tonight was different circumstances, and I was preparing for a long night and the cold temperature of a January night.

I heard Carlisle before he made it through the front door.

Once he laid eyes on me his eyes calmed down a tiny bit.

He pulled me into his arms, whispering over and over in Italian he loved me. I wanted to take his pain away, but I knew I couldn't.

He ran his hand over my belly rubbing it for a few minutes before helping me into my jacket.

"Are you ready, love?" He asked, his voice deep.

I nodded and let him lead me outside to an already running car. For all the jackass things he did, he was very concerned for mine and the baby's health.

I held his hand in between mine, rubbing circles in his palm as he muttered things too low for me to hear.

Carlisle was outraged and there was no calming him down right now.

A little while later we found a puffy eyed Jane being comforted by a wary looking Felix. There were broken vases in the foyer floor. I shuddered to think about what went on just hours before.

"Sister." Carlisle called dropping my hand and hugging Jane. She gripped his arms and cried louder.

She was a total bitch, but I still felt for her. I couldn't imagine loosing my father.

Carlisle shot Felix a look that left him backing into the corner.

"Sammy, call our private doctor and have him come handle this. We're not involving the police." Carlisle instructed still holding Jane.

I had no desire to comfort her, but I didn't want to be far from Carlisle, so I stood quietly beside him.

It was going to be a long night, and it was just getting started.

After weeks of not being able to sleep, I was now dead tired on my feet.

I swayed a little as Carlisle let go of his sister, and helped me over to the couch.

"Rest my love, I'll wake you as soon as we find out something." He pushed a strand of hair out of my face.

I nodded and laid back on the pillows. Normally I wouldn't sleep on a couch, but I had a feeling he wasn't letting me out of his sight right now.

Rosalie's POV

Emmett had texted saying he didn't know what time he would be home and that he was with Edward.

"Great." I mumbled looking at Thing One and Thing Two passed out on the loveseat. I didn't want to leave them there, but I sure as hell wasn't going to try to drag them upstairs. I had already tried to wake them twice to no avail.

"What's wrong, Rose?" Jacob asked walking out of the kitchen with another sandwich.

I swear he never stopped eating.

"Em is tied up, can you help me get them upstairs?" I asked already tired as hell.

"I got it. No problem." He laughed handing his sandwich to me.

"Thanks." I made a face at the half eaten sandwich.

He scooped Esme up like she was a bag of sugar and carried her up the stairs. I sat down in the chair and laid his sandwich on the table. I wanted to wait up for Emmett and find out what the hell was going on. I had never been away from him this long since we got together.

Jacob quickly returned and picked Bella up in the same manner before disappearing up the stairs again.

I laid my head back and closed my eyes for a minute to rest.

I must have fallen asleep, because next thing I know a big pair of arms are carrying me. I smile to myself figuring Emmett came home and was carrying me to bed. I buried my face into his neck, placing a soft kiss against his skin.

He stopped dead in his tracks, making me wake up a little more. I opened my eyes to see russet skin.

Fuck.

Jacob.

"Sorry." I mumbled. "I thought you were Em."

He relaxed his body slightly before walking again.

"It's 'kay." He replied.

He carried me to my room, but stopped at the door setting my on my feet. He held onto my waist waiting for me to regain my balance.

"You aight? You really need some sleep. You can't go all the time the way you do." Jacob scolded.

"I know." I yawned.

I was about to go into my bedroom as I watched Jacob walking away.

"Jake?" I whispered.

He turned and looked back at me with an eyebrow raised. His face looked just as tired as mine had to.

"Let's not mention just now to anyone, okay? It wouldn't end well."

"Yea, I know." He laughed trying to play it off. Jacob could never be made, but he understood the way our world worked and I had no doubt he would go somewhere in business with us.

I climbed into bed, thinking about anything besides how delicious Jacob's skin tasted, so I could doze off.

I woke a few hours later to a hint of sunlight peeking threw the curtains. Emmett had crawled into bed next to me still in his clothes. He looked peaceful. I wished he didn't have to be out all the time.

Being stuck in this house all the time with no one to talk to except Jacob was taking its toll on me. I had school, but that didn't count. It was boring as fuck.

I curled into Emmett's side and try to doze back off when his phone started ringing.

I knew I probably shouldn't mess with his phone, but he was sound asleep and I knew how badly he needed it.

I picked up his cell, looking at the screen.

The number calling wasn't saved in his contacts.

He was gonna get so pissed over this.

I got up and quickly went in the bathroom closing the door.

"Hello?" I answered, making sure to sound as sexy as possible.

What the fuck was wrong with me?

"Who is this?" A man asked me clearly confused.

"Who is this? You called me." I shot back.

Em was going to be mad as hell.

There is no telling who I was talking to.

"Don't worry who this is, just tell Em I got what he needs." The guy said before hanging up.

Fucking great.

I shouldn't have answered his phone.

Curiosity got the better of me.

He has been gone almost all the time and it's human nature to wonder where your man is.

My next question was, what the hell did Em need?

Esme's POV

"Wake up! Gimme some!" Aro half whispered in my ear.

He could not be serious.

I cracked an eye open.

Seriously, he was standing bent over the bed, butt naked, with a big grin on his face.

"Nothing like some wake up dick is there?"

"We'll see about that." I told him turning over and pulling the covers over my head.

"Oh no you don't!" Aro shouted grabbing my legs and yanking me down the bed.

I tossed the covers back laughing.

"Why should I not shoot you right now?" I raised my eyebrow at him still grinning.

"Cause I'm gon give you some good dick." He said before pouncing on me.

I thought about my breath as Aro stuck his tongue on my mouth.

Obviously, it wasn't bothering him.

I didn't think he would let me up to go brush them anyway.

He ran his hand between my legs, lightly stroking my clit.

Maybe it wasn't so bad being woke up this early...

I lightly trailed my nails across his back as he kissed my neck, softly sucking on my skin.

He was being very gentle considering he woke up me up with his dick in my face.

"I love you so much." He whispered in my ear before nipping at my lobe.

"I love you."

I arched into his touch.

He was moving his fingers teasingly slow.

"Please." I asked.

"As you wish." He spoke against my chest before pushed into me at a dilatory pace.

Was he trying to kill me?

Get me all worked up and pull back.

I dug my nails into his ass and pulled him into me faster.

He captured my lips with his, driving into me over and over.

His hands were all over me with gentle caresses.

I came moaning his name softly, with him following right behind me.

I tingled all over as I felt him throb inside of me.

He never let me go as he pulled the covers up over us.

"I love you." He said again.

"I love you, too. Is everything okay?" I asked looking up at his face. His eyes were already closed.

"Everything's good. I just needed you." He said before yawning.

I kissed his chin and closed my eyes, ready to fall back asleep.

Isabella's POV

Edward was there when I woke up. He was wide awake and looking at me.

"Good morning, doll."

"Morning, Eddie."

"Let's not call me that, okay?" He said with a slight cringe.

"Why not Eddie?" I smiled at him innocently.

"Isabella." He growled.

"You're no fun." I complained getting out of bed.

"Since you're up. I'm going to put you up against the shower wall, then we're going to have breakfast with everyone downstairs." Edward said jumping of the bed and following me into the bathroom.

"Edward, I gotta pee." I told him doing a little dance.

He looked up from putting toothpaste on his toothbrush, shrugging his shoulders.

"So?"

"I can't go with you watching me!" I hollered at him like he was insane.

"Use the damn bathroom." He said turning back to the mirror.

I stood there for a couple of minutes, still doing my little dance.

"I'm not leaving, Bella." He rolled his eyes at me.

Why did he have to do this?

Didn't he know how uncomfortable this was for me?

Didn't he love me?

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and I decided using the toilet in front of him would be far less embarrassing than peeing my pants.

I felt my face burn as I'm sure it turned a very dark shade of red. I buried my face in my hands when I heard Edward laughing.

Asshole.

"Relax, I'm your man. It's not a big deal." He was still chuckling as he walked passed me to start the shower.

We spent the next few minutes leisurely washing each other and sharing chaste kisses.

"Now that you're all clean..." His husky words trailed off as he brought my hands above my head, and pushed me into the wall.

He held my wrists in one of his hands and he ghosted his other along my backside.

"Did you miss me, Isabella?" He spoke so close to my ear and it gave me chills, despite the hot temperature of the water.

I nodded.

"I can't hear you." He chastised, smacking my ass.

"Yes."

"I missed you." He hummed in my ear.

I felt his head skimming along my wet ass.

His intimate touches left me with a knot of anticipation in my stomach.

I licked my lips, peeking over my shoulder at the sinister look on his face as he rammed into me.

I sighed as he grasped my hip, thrusting into me with long strokes.

I bit my bottom lip as he groaned.

Between him filling every inch of me with him, and the noises coming from him I was quickly coming undone.

I leaned my head against the cool shower tiles and closed my eyes letting him bring me to my release.

My body was writhing as the coil in my stomach began tightening again.

I arched my back as much as I could with him holding me against the wall.

His hold on my wrists tightened as his thrusts strengthened.

I called his name over and over as I came on his cock again.

He gave me a few more strokes before burying himself deep as I felt him pulsate in me.

He placed soft kisses on my temple, releasing my hands.

I turned to him, softly sucking on his throat.

He quickly washed us off before we got out.

He took his time taking care of me, drying me off, and rubbing lotion into my skin.

It was Saturday, and I planned to be lazy. I slipped on my favorite pair of jeans and a long sleeve green tee.

Edward actually did the same, putting on some baggy jeans and a bright blue hoodie.

"You looked relaxed." I commented taking in his appearance.

"Today is about us." He smiled at me.

We had breakfast with a sleepy looking Rosalie, Emmett, and Jacob.

"Where are Aro and Es?" Edward asked piling food on both our plates.

"Bed I guess." Rose shrugged.

Everyone was pretty quiet, but none of us had very much sleep.

After breakfast, Emmett and Rose were going to lay back down and sleep so we left.

"What do you want to do today?" Edward asked as he navigated through traffic.

"Let's watch movies or go bowling or whatever. I just want to get out for awhile." I replied in a good mood.

There is nothing better than sex first thing in the morning.

"Alright." He nodded his head.

We spent the day going to the movies, where Edward fidgeted and looked around the entire time; but hey, we were out. After that we went shopping for a little while and had lunch at a quiet little cafe downtown.

It was a nice, relaxing day.

Just what we needed.

I had most of his attention aside from when he was on his phone texting. I didn't say anything. I knew he was a busy man.

When we got back to his apartment, he poured us both a drink, and we sat down on the couch.

"We need to talk." He broke the comfortable silence.

Butterflies began dancing in my stomach. I didn't think he would dump me, considering everything I knew, I figured he was in it for the long haul. However, in this life, there is no telling what might come out his mouth.

"Okay." I nodded, encouraging him to continue.

"Where to begin?" He asked himself, grabbing at his hair. "Okay, first, Marcus was murdered last night."

"What?!" I choked in my drink. "Why are you not there?"

"I was spending the day with you. My father and the other top guys were there. There isn't anything I can do until they give me orders. There was no point in you stressing over it all day, either." He said taking my hand in his and looking at me calmly.

"Is everyone else ok?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to hear the answer.

First, Alec, then Marcus. It left me with a very uneasy feeling.

"What if someone comes after you?" I cried out, starting to panic.

"I have guards, and I pay attention to everything around me. You don't have to worry about me." He smiled, trying to assure me his words were true.

I swallowed my nerves and nodded again.

"There is something else..." He began.

I looked at him, watching every move of his face, waiting for what could be bigger news than Marcus' death.

"Yea?" I asked meekly.

"Your father is seeing Kate Denali." Edward's face held no expression.

I laughed.

"Don't you think I would know if my father was seeing someone? And isn't that my mom's soon to be stepdaughter or something?"

"Not if he didn't want you to, and yes, that's who she is. Frank Denali's oldest daughter." He squeezed my hand. "Isabella, I know for a fact your father is seeing her, and he has secrets that aren't good. I don't know details yet, but I will find out."

I jerked my hand back as if his touch burned.

"How do you know this?" I accused him.

"I just do, trust me on this. I think it would be safer if you didn't say anything to him until I know more. I wish you didn't have to go home at all, but I don't want to add kidnapping to my long list of crimes."

"Shut up!" I screamed at him. "How long have you know this? Why are you just now telling me?"

He pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment before looking up at me.

"I just found out last night. I wanted you to have a nice, relaxing day before I sprung all this on you."

"Don't you think you should have told me to begin with? That nice, relaxing day is ruined now. How could my dad be mixed up in all this, too?" I started pacing.

I let my mind roll over the fact that my dad might have a secret life.

What could I say? I did, too.

I had all these emotions rolling around that I couldn't name.

I picked up my glass and slung it across the room, hitting a picture frame and knocking it off the wall.

"This is crazy!" I threw my hands up in the air.

"Welcome to my world." Edward said getting up and walking to the bar. He poured me another drink, handing it to me.

"Just sit down, have a drink. We'll work out everything, together. You and me." He spoke softly rubbing my arms.

I was angry at him for not telling me sooner, but he did tell me.

He would have no reason to lie about this, although I was still curious as to how he knew.

"I'm upset with you." I looked up into his vivid green eyes.

"I'm sorry for that. I just wanted you to have a day to yourself without any drama. Next time I will tell you as soon as I know something." He looked genuinely apologetic.

"I'll forgive you. This time."

He smiled at me and sipped his drink.

I leaned back and swirled my glass, watching the amber liquid sloshing around.

"Can I just stay here and never go anywhere?" I asked after a few minutes.

"I wish we could, kid." Edward let out his breath, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

I leaned into him, trying to make my mind go blank.

Instead, thoughts about my parents and my new life ran rapid.
