Misplaced Trust


Chapter Two

New Beginnings

Sleeping in Edward's arms had always been my safe haven, being able to sleep through the night without any nightmares had been wonderful. The cool feel of his skin keeping the evil away. I knew it had taken a lot of Edward to not rush off and kill Jacob Black, he had hurt me in more ways than anyone else ever had. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be here, back in Edward's arms and the baby I was carrying had been welcomed with open arms. When I found out that the Cullens were in Chicago my eyes had lit up at the thought of being in the city that Edward had grown up.

Just as suddenly as my dreams had been pleasant did they turn. In an instant I was back at the small house in LaPush, Jacob forcing himself on me once more. I had felt betrayal before, however this time it had been someone I classed as family. Shoulders shaking, I felt tears in my eyes as I was trapped in the nightmare.

"No Jacob… ….stop please." I whimpered in my sleep, feeling something underneath me shift.

"Bella I'm here it's Edward, love." Edward soothed my nightmare.

"I don't want this… ….No please." I whimpered coming to awareness more as Edward's voice pierced through the nightmare.

"Bella love, wake up. Please." Edward soothed his voice filled with emotion.

As the coolness from Edward's hands began to rub the small of my back, the nightmare began to fade into the background. I knew his heart must be aching seeing and hearing me in pain. Knowing that he couldn't help make it better, yet. But he would, because by his side I was already better. He was my soulmate in every way. The hold I had over him was strong, the urge to protect me must be unbearable. I knew getting rid of the danger was essential when it came to a vampire and his mate.

Maybe, just maybe I would be able to go back to Forks eventually. My father was there, Angela and Ben. Even the majority of the pack were on my side. It was just Billy and Jacob that seemed to resent me. What father knew what their son was about to do and leave anyway. He was meant to be my father best friend. Quickly opening my eyes I looked into Edward's concerned golden eyes.

"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have had to deal with this." I said quietly tears clouding my vision.

"I love you Isabella, I'd do anything for you. And you know that." Edward said quietly.

"I know, I've always known how protective you are. The vampire instinct to protect me. Because that's how I feel when it comes to protecting you." I said quietly.

"You never have to hide anything from me Bella. You can tell me anything." Edward promised.

"Showing you my thoughts was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I knew that it would make that protective side of you. That it took all of your strength to not go chasing after him. I promise when I can talk about it without falling apart I will." I explained quietly shifting to try and get comfortable. "I was thinking, perhaps instead of rushing straight back to Forks we could call Sam first."

"Sam is the new pack alpha?" Edward asked helping me to sit up as I rested my head against his chest.

"Mm, he and his imprint Emily helped me, a few days after the rape they took me into their house and I told them everything. They're all on my side, there are four wolves in total so far. Jacob doesn't want to be alpha otherwise I don't want to think what he could have done." I shuddered at the thought.

"Then I owe them for keeping you safe. Do you have a number for them?" Edward asked making a plan.

"He … …he crushed my cell. I tried to call Alice but he caught me. I do have their number though." I whispered quietly resting a hand over my growing baby bump.

"I will get you another one, love. I believe Alice may already have it in hand." Edward promised, handing me his cell as I dialled Sam's number.

Closing my eyes as a wave of nausea rolled through my belly I grimaced as I waited for Sam to answer. I couldn't believe that not only did I have the support of the pack, but the Elders too. Billy and Jacob wouldn't know what hit them when they discovered they had lost the support of their people. Perhaps I should reveal my newest revelation. I wasn't simply a pale face anymore I was a member of the tribe. Even if my true father was unaware, or if he did know he hadn't been able to tell me.

Sighing softly I felt Edward's hand against my belly, rubbing it gently to try and calm the baby within. When I'd called Rosalie and Alice, I was at my last resort. Knowing that this baby would be loved by my family, no matter who the other parent was meant everything. My thoughts were broken by Sam's voice.

"Hello?" Sam's answered.

"Sam it's Bella, are you alone?" I asked not wanting the link the pack had to reveal what I was about to say.

"Bella thank god. We have been searching for you. Where are you? Yes I'm alone it's just Emily and myself. The boys are in school." Sam revealed as I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Im in Chicago with the Cullens, I called Alice and Rosalie they came to bring me to Edward, before that I was at their house. They're my family Sam, they may be vampires but just as you have imprints, they have mates. I'm calling from Edward's cell as Jacob crushed mine. That's not the only reason I called." I said quietly taking a deep breath as I prepared to reveal everything.

"Go on. You wouldn't be calling if it wasn't important." Sam encouraged.

"When I was packing up the rest of my belongings, I came across a family tree of my mother's that I had previously borrowed in Phoenix, that's when I looked at it again. The line that should have joined Renee and Charlie to me, in fact showed Harry Clearwater. I don't know if he knows or not I'm two years younger than Leah." I explained. "I have the gene, my body has already gotten stronger, because of my pregnancy I haven't phased yet. But this means that female shifters can get pregnant. It also means Jacob attacked a member of your tribe. Sam I'm scared to come home, but if it means that Jacob is punished I will." I finished.

"That explains a few things, recently Harry has been more concerned than usual. I think he must have known but when Renee left he couldn't tell because of the agreement in the treaty. Charlie is classed as a pale face. You will have a house on the reservation should you decide to come home. The Elders have already decided to punish both Jacob and Billy. His sister Rachel who is Paul's imprint is beyond hurt by the turn of events." Sam revealed. "Leah will be happy to hear that there is a chance she can still have children."

"Would you talk to Edward?" I asked seeing my imprint holding his hand out.

"Of course, we were going to talk to the blonde vampire as soon as we could anyway." Sam agreed as I handed over the cell leaning against his chest as I breathed in his honey and lilac scent allowing it to calm my scattered thoughts. The sound of Edward's voice soothed me as he spoke to Sam.

"Edward?" Sam asked.

"Hello Sam, given what happened with Jacob, the treaty itself should be null and void, however I know that Carlisle wouldn't want a war and neither do I. As much as I would love to rip that mangy dog to pieces in the long run it wouldn't help anyone. I had every intention of changing Bella into one of us, however this new development means that I don't need to. The phasing will mean she stops aging either way. Jacob doing what he has is unthinkable however the fact that Billy knew and left her there with him. That's what I can't forget." Edward said quietly.

"I completely agree. What they have both done is unthinkable. How is Bella really and the baby?" Sam asked knowing Bella liked to edit how she was truly feeling.

"She has so much strength, despite everything she's been through she stills wants the best for everyone. She's hurting but in time she will heal. I've been through this before, helping my sister. Well that's a story for Rosalie to tell not me. The baby is perfect, he or she is growing right on track. Unfortunately so is the morning sickness." Edward revealed. "Do you need us to return?"

"It would be better to do this on our lands, however we are willing to come to you if Bella feels she can't come back." Sam revealed the plans that the time had been discussing since Bella had disappeared.

"Let me ask one more question, I know Bella will want to get this resolved quickly." Edward started as Sam agreed to let him continue. He knew me so well I would definitely return if it was necessary.

"With Bella being a member of the tribe. If we were to return would she be under taken in as a shifter under you. It's her fear that Jacob would overpower you and force her to stay with him." Edward said softly.

"She would be welcome to join the pack. She is family, I don't know about vampire mating but imprinting it's like gravity holds us to the earth and everything centres around that person. Bella must have imprinted on you the moment you first met in order for her feelings to be this strong. Though I don't doubt if she weren't a shifter the same would apply. You would have had my support to change her had this not cropped up." Sam agreed.

Turning to face Edward I nodded my head softly, as much as it would be emotional returning to the place I was raped I knew in the long run it would be for the best. I wanted to move on and not be terrified at the thought of Jacob turning up and trying to kidnap me. Reaching out my hand I took hold of Edward's free one feeling my anxiety leave.

"I'll talk to Carlisle. Bella is in agreement. I will do anything to protect her. No one on our side will attack." Edward said softly holding me closer.

"I will tell the others, thank you. It's more than he deserves." Sam said softly.

"That it is, but keeping my family safe is the most important thing. And this baby, it is mine. He lost all rights." Edward stated.

"Agreed, I don't even think his stupid brain considered what could happen if Bella were to fall pregnant." Sam agreed. "I'll see you when you return."

"Bye Sam." Edward said quietly.

"Bye Edward." Same said knowing that a new treaty beyond obligation had just been formed.


Hanging up his cell, Edward took me back into his arms. I knew that he was in awe of my strength. Returning to the reservation would be a challenge however I knew if Edward was by my side I would be able to do it. It appeared I had more allies on the reservation than I expected. I would never be able to thank Sam and Emily enough for their help. Though I had a feeling that Alice was going to be rather obsessive in getting everything ready. Most of the furniture seemed to still be at the old house. Though some of this furniture, the time period of when my imprint had been a human. I wanted to keep those.

Sighing softly I knew that I needed to eat and truth be told I was hungry, however at the same time the queasiness was overwhelming. Before I could voice my thoughts I felt myself being picked up gently and carried into our en suite bathroom, as my imprint once again gently placed me in front of the toilet just as my belly decided to rebel. Leaning over the toilet I vomited spectacularly. Ever since my morning sickness had started it had hit with a vengeance I didn't know if it was because I was part quileute or just a normal pregnancy symptom. Given the books I'd read I was certain it was just a normal pregnancy symptom. Once I was certain I wasn't about to throw up again, I rested my head against Edward's bare chest.

"Everyone heard?" I asked my cheeks burning red.

"Esme has warned them not to say anything, you know she was pregnant once also. If anyone knows what you are experiencing it's her." Edward said softly kissing Bella's forehead.

"Will Rosalie hate moving again, I know she doesn't like moving." I asked softly not wanting to upset the newest friendship she had made with Rosalie.

Flushing the chain gently I stood up brushing my teeth thoroughly my mind once again on Rosalie. The moment I had voice that question I expected Edward to answer. However it seemed my sister wanted to reassure me herself as the supermodel vampire stood in our bathroom doorway "If it means that mutt and his father get what's coming to them I will. I know I can be difficult at times. But if being around the rest of the shifters brings you happiness.

"They're unexpected family, but they are on our side, we were about to talk to Carlisle about it." Edward said for me as I finished rinsing my mouth out.

Turning to face my sister I smiled softly nodding my head. "I know that there has been a lot of travelling recently. And I also know how much you hate settling down only to leave again. Knowing that we are in Chicago, the place I've so desperately wanted to be with Edward knowing that his mother begged Carlisle to save him here. I don't want to leave but I know one day we can come back. Forks is only home to me as long as you are all there. Sam has accepted my imprint, it's the same as vampire mating. You see when I first saw Edward that day in biology my world shifted and all I could think of was him. When he didn't show up that next biology lesson I couldn't focus on anything because he wasn't there. After the ice and he ignored me, it was worse because he was there but I felt so far apart. I've never been your average human." I whispered the last part.

"I understand, your need to protect him is just as strong as his need to protect you. " Rosalie whispered. "When do we leave?"

"As soon as Carlisle knows and we get his view." Edward said quietly as I got ready for the day pulling on one of Edward's t shirts and black leggings. There would be time for Alice to force me to dress up for her later.

"Alice said she saw you one minute and not the next I think that may have been your phone call." Rosalie said softly.

"I had to borrow Edward's phone, Jacob crushed mine to dust. Given I am a quiluete she likely can't see me. Not because I'm in danger it's just one of those quirks of being a wolf." Bella explained before her Edward could get upset.

"I wanted to do this properly, with your fathers permission. Though I guess the way things stand I already have that. Isabella Marie Swan would you do me the extraordinary honour of marrying me. No measure of time with you will be enough." Edward said softly getting down on one knee.

"Yes, a million times yes." My heart pounded in my chest, I was with my soulmate and he was happy about the baby despite how he or she came to be. Holding my shaking left hand in his I saw the beautiful oval diamond engagement ring. I knew that this must have been his mother's engagement ring. To know that it was now mine for eternity.

"I love you Miss Swan soon to be Cullen." Edward said quietly.

"Isabella Marie Masen. I don't want you to lose your original last name." I whispered quietly.

"You would … …you would take my biological last name." Edward asked his voice filled with emotion.

"It's who you are my Edward. Your mother asked for you to be here. No one knows your original name in Forks it's always been Cullen. Just like they don't know that Jasper uses Rosalie's last name." I said quietly.

"How did you figure that out?" Rosalie asked.

"Institution. I've always seen more than I let on. I stuck to the lie that Edward was standing next to me despite the fact I knew that he was across the parking lot. Mr and Mrs Masen? If you want it." I was suddenly unsure.

"Of course I do. Bella this is more than I ever could have imagined. "Let's get you something to eat and talk to Carlisle."

Nodding softly I took his hand in mind, knowing that we were about to get attacked by a force of nature pixie known as Alice. She truly was scary when she got an idea in her head. Now, not only was she getting to plan a nursery but a wedding to boot. I felt sorry for Jasper. His empathic ability was going to be under severe strain with this much planning.

Feeling a little shy, as Edward's t shirt showed my growing baby bump I leaned against my fiancé and imprint allowing him to lead me downstairs. Smiling softly I saw Esme and Carlisle standing side by side, Jasper and Alice, (Jasper working hard to keep his wife from charging at us and Emmett ever the jokester. Just as Alice had predicted all of them were happy to see me. Smiling softly I looked toward Esme noticing that my vampire mother had already made me breakfast. As Edward led me to the couch where my breakfast was waiting for me, sitting on the coffee table I started to eat with some trepidation.

"I believe you needed to talk to me?" Carlisle asked. "When Bella moved away from you, Alice was able to see you."

"This isn't my story to tell it's Bella's." Edward came to sit by me wrapping his arms around my waist.

I swallowed the food in my mouth, thankful that for now at least it was staying down. "Charlie isn't my father, I discovered my mother's family tree, I needed it for a school project but I didn't need all of it. When I opened it fully just before Rosalie and Alice arrived I searched out my mother's name expecting to see Charlie beside her and my name underneath. But…" I looked around the room, suddenly feeling anxious.

"But what sweetheart?" Esme asked coming to stand by her son and daughter.

"Harry Clearwater was named as my father, making me one of the shifters. I've already spoken to Sam, he's the pack alpha. The bond Edward and I have is more than a vampire mating bond I also imprinted on him. The reason I'm pregnant… …Jacob raped me and Billy let him do it. They are going to be cast out of the tribe. Sam has also got a house for us on the reservation next to their house." I finished hiding my head feeling scared.

"That mangy mutt. Is that why Rose and Alice bolted out of here as quickly as they did?" Emmett asked.

"Mmhm. I called them, after side swirving Charlie's attempts to get Jacob and Billy round for dinner I bolted for your house. It was the only place I felt safe." I explained. "I wasn't sure I was ready to tell everyone, I'm still not ready to give details. Edward knows because he's my imprint and yes Alice fiancée. Rose and Alice don't know details but I knew that Rose would understand."

"What of the treaty?" Carlisle asked look at Edward.

"It is still intact, I told Sam neither of us wanted a war. Now that Bella is part of his pack he wants to reaffirm our agreement, Alice and Jasper will need to sign it, there's also an adaption to not being allowed on the reservation given I will be living there." Edward explained.

"When do we leave?" Carlisle asked impressed how his eldest son and youngest daughter had handled the situation.

"Rose asked me the same question but I wanted to talk to you first. With Bella here I would prefer to stay here but I can bring her back again as soon as I can."

"I'd like to get married before we go back." I said confidently finishing my meal taking hold of Edward's hand.

"Now?" Edward asked.

"Now." I agreed."

All of a sudden Alice squealed rushing up to the bedroom she shared with Jasper. Apparently she had seen this decision. No matter what they went through as a family; Alice would always be an energetic ball of energy. Clearing my throat I managed to make her stop on the stairs. Looking between my imprint and my soon to be sister. Seeing the love on Edward's eyes when I had declared that I wanted to use the name Masen would stay with me forever. I could see everyone looking at me.

Blushing a soft red I took a deep breath knowing that Jasper used Rosalie's last human last name so it wasn't something that they hadn't done before. I had always known whenever Edward proposed I would want to use his human name after all he was still that person, his mother had begged Carlisle to save him. Save him in ways that only he knew. Biting my lip I felt Edward squeeze my hand in reassurance.

"What's going on Bella? Carlisle is ordained because Rose and Emmett renew their vows. But I need to get the marriage certificate." Alice a asked tapping her foot.

"That's the thing Alice, we aren't going to be using Cullen. I've asked Edward if I can use his mothers name. Isabella Marie Masen. Jasper uses Rosalie's last name posing as twins, I've never once heard anyone say they know Edward's original name. This is important." I said firmly watching my imprint as he and Carlisle had a silent conversation. "Out loud some of us can't speak through their mind."

"Sorry love, Carlisle was just considering how to explain it. Perhaps you have an idea?" Edward asked.

"Mm well the humans have a register where all birth names are stored alongside their biological parents. Perhaps you can say that Edward tried to track down his parents, discovered his biological name and decided to use it. It's no secret that you and Esme adopted Edward first." I suggested looking a Alice as she nodded her head letting her know it would work.

"That hadn't crossed my mind before, if this is what the both of you truly want." Carlisle agreed taking Esme in his arms.

"It is." We said in unison.

"Then we have a wedding to plan. Nothing too extravagant Alice we still have to travel back to Forks." Carlisle tried to reign in his energetic daughter.

"Everything is already here. We have the marriage license, you are officiating oh who's going to walk Bella down the aisle." Alice fretted.

"Emmett would you? Then Jasper can be Edward's best man." I suggested.

"I'd love you little sister." Emmett said quietly.

"Come Bella we need to get you ready?" Alice scooted back to my side handing Carlisle the marriage certificate.

"Make it quick Alice you're forgetting I'm three and a half months pregnant I haven't got the usual Bella Barbie stamina." I looked towards Rosalie. "Help."

"Alice she has a point. We are vampires, I can do her hair and make up whilst you get her dressed. No heels but flats would work. She's got enough balance issues.' Rosalie said softly making everyone laugh as Alice pouted.

"Fine, fine. But whenever you decide to get married to each other again. I will be doing it the traditional way." Alice agreed pulling me into her bedroom placing me into the dressing table chair.

True to her word Alice allowed Rosalie to create a masterpiece on my features, making sure not to add too much make up. Edward definitely liked that I didn't wear much. My hair was hale up with long trestles framing my face and cascading down my shoulders. Holding in the tears I turned to face Alice seeing the most beautiful wedding gown I had ever seen. I was starting to wonder if she had purchased this the moment she saw our first date.

Letting out a deep breath I stood still as Alice helped me into the gown, making sure not to crinkle it. Made of stunning silk, the bodice clung to my baby bump in all the right places. In a couple of minutes I would be married. When I'd called Alice I had been terrified of Edward's reaction, however now, everything was slotting into place perfectly. Rosalie smiled softly placing a diamond encrusted heart bracelet around my wrist as Emmett came in.

"A gift from Edward." Rose said softly.

"Thank you, for everything." I whispered softly knowing she could hear me.

"You're welcome, I should have trusted you sooner. For that I'll always regret it." Rose said softly looking toward her husband. "That's my cue, don't embarrass her Emmett otherwise you'll be sleeping on your own."

""You wound me." Emmett said chuckling. "Are you ready Bella?"

"As I'll ever be." I agreed taking hold of Emmett's arm. "Don't let me fall."

"I won't." Emmett whispered suddenly all serious. This was a side I hadn't seen before.


Five minutes later Emmett was leading me downstairs, my breath caught in my throat as I saw the transformation. In a few short minutes the living room had been transformed. I noticed Esme standing with Rosalie and Carlisle at the front ready to officiate. Jasper just be having a hard time trying to keep Alice and Edward calm. If Emmett didn't have hold of my arm I would have been walking a lot faster to my imprint. My forever was about to begin.

From the corner of my eye I saw another family, three stunning blondes and two dark haired vampires. Taking them in I suddenly realised that one of these blondes had tried and failed to become mates with my imprint. Letting out a warning growl I watched the taller blonde back off slightly. At least I could scare someone off. Pushing her to one side I focused on Edward, his golden eyes full of love and devotion, his crooked smile making me weak at the knees. Just as I was about to break free of Emmett's arms we reached the front of the alter and my bear of a brother placed both hands in Edward's. My thoughts were broken by Carlisle talking.

"When Bella first entered Edward's life I could tell that he had finally found his soulmate, after 80 years of searching my firstborn had found his home. These last few months haven't been the best for either of my children, standing here today I can say I have never been happier to officially welcome Bella into the family. I believe Bella and Edward have personalised vows. Bella if you could say your vows to Edward." Carlisle turned to face me.

"Edward when we first met my world shifted instantly, you consumed my every thought and dream. After our first date and seeing the planning you put into showing me our meadow, I knew then that I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with you. I love every part of you, my Edward, my imprint. I will spent forever cherishing you, all of you, the man and the vampire. You are my forever." I said my vows pushing all of my love into my voice.

"Edward you may say your vows to Bella." Carlisle promoted, seeing that his children were devoted to each other. With am imprint and mating they were united in every single way. Even more so than the rest of them.

"Bella, when you tripped into my life you turned everything on its head. That first biology lesson I struggled between biting you and talking to you. I'd never smelt blood more tempting. Then I ran to try and clear my mind of the brunette beauty that had stolen my heart at first glance. Through life we will have ups and downs but together we will overcome them. No measure of time with you will be enough. But let's start with forever." Edward declared.

"Please place Edward's ring on his finger and repeat after me." Carlisle began again. "I Bella take thee Edward to be my lawful husband. To have and to hold from this day forward for eternity."

My stomach fluttered with butterflies as I turned to Rosalie and took Edward's wedding band from her placing it onto the third finger of his left hand. "I Bella, take thee Edward to be my lawful husband. To have and to hold from this day forward for eternity." I stated the hedge to kiss him getting stronger.

"Soon, love." Edward whispered making me blush.

"Edward please place Bella's ring on her finger and repeat after me. I Edward, take thee Bella to be my lawful wife. To have and to hold from this day forward for eternity."

Watching my soon to be brother in law hand Edward my wedding band onto my finger, placing my engagement ring over the top of it kissing them softly. "I Edward, take thee Bella to be my lawful wife. To have and to hold from this day forward for eternity."

"With your vows spoken and the giving and receiving of rings I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Carlisle announced. "I'm happy to announce to everyone Mr & Mrs Edward Masen."

"Finally." I breathed vaguely aware of a gasp when Carlisle announced us Mr & Mrs Masen.

Ever so slowly Edward placed my face in his hands leaning down moulding our lips together. Fireworks went off in my mind as we kissed, this was definitely the first time my imprint didn't hold back, pouring all of his love into the kiss. We were officially married and no one was going to get in between us again, not jealous high school girls, nor delusional vampires.

Of course despite my shapeshifter durability I still needed air to breathe. Pesky downside. Pulling back reluctantly I stayed in Edward's arms suddenly the cat calling and wolf whistling coming to my awareness. Emmett clearly hadn't been able to hold back, however he was in luck as I wasn't embarrassed. Turning around in Edward's arms I looked around the room as our family surrounded us, their Denali cousins approaching us.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you Isabella. I'm Carmen, this is my mate Eleazar and the three blondes over there are Tanya, Irina and Kate." Carmen said softly. "Welcome to the family."

"It's good to meet you too. I know you've had a long journey, only to find out that we will be headed back soon, but I wanted to meet the family who supported my Edward." I said softly, making sure to point out my claim.

"What do you have that I don't." I heard a voice to my let say. "Apart from trapping Edward."

"Say that again Tanya and you will find yourself uninvited ever again." Rosalie and Esme said at the same time.

"For the record I've never slept with anyone willingly." I stated. "I'm pretty sure you've heard of Rosalie's story correct."

"What's the got to do with it." Tanya said looking down at me.

"I was raped you delusional idiot. Clearly you aren't family, because family don't treat family like this." I fumed leaning against my husband turning away from the strawberry blonde.

"What made you decide to use Masen again?" Irina asked turning to my imprint.

"It was a request from my wife. And no matter how this baby came to be it is mine. Because he or she is part of my mate. And just to explain more, she's not just your average human, she's as durable as we are. She's a Quiluete shapeshifter so I would try and not make her angry." Edward threatened pulling out his cell as he texted Sam to let him know we would be arriving later on that day.

"You can stay and help pack, or you can leave but none of us will let you speak to Bella like that." Jasper said firmly. "You are here because she wanted to meet you but if you can't respect her. Get out."

"The rest of us will stay but I think that Tanya will be leaving." Kate said quietly

Tears threatened to spill over as I heard our family protecting me, I'd never tire of Edward calling the baby I carried his. Despite everything my former friend had said I had been welcomed back. I was still loved. I could see the torn look on Kate and Irina's face as they watched Tanya return to Alaska. She didn't know what it was like to find your soulmate. They had only ever been playthings. Laying my hand over my stomach rubbing it gently stating to feel sick again.

Edward pulled me into his arms his hands joining mine on my nauseous stomach. I truly didn't know who came up with the term morning sickness, however if I ever found out I would quite happily throttle them. Feeling lips against my head I knew that my husband would take care of me, even if all Alice wanted to do was stick to the plan. The way my stomach was gurgling eating wasn't a good idea.

"Carlisle can you handle packing, I want to get Bella into something more comfortable. We've got a long drive ahead of us and she's not feeling very well." Edward asked his father.

"Of course." Carlisle agreed.

Edward smiled softly picking me up carefully and carrying us to our bedroom, our forever had just begun and I would hold onto every moment. Even if that meant returning to the one place that I'd just run away from. Because with Edward by my side I could do anything. Isabella Swan was no more and Isabella Masen was born.

And the world better watch out.
