“Everything okay?” Damian called to me.

“Urmm. No, not really. Alice and…” Come on Bella, improvise! “Todd has broken up. 3 years they were together, she kinda needs me. She sounded a total wreck. Won’t even come out of her bathroom. Esme is worried because she has loads of medication in the cabinet. Could you maybe drop me off at the Cullen’s house?”

“Of course. It sounds like she really needs you. How long will you be?”

“Urmm. It could be a while. I want to make sure she is okay, really really okay. Edward will drive me home when I’m positive she is fine.”

“Yeah, course you do Bells, we understand. So, I take a left here?”

“Yeah, this one. Keep going.” I directed. In no time at all, we had pulled up outside the Cullen’s house and I hopped out, a new kind of excitement building up inside me. I dragged Cain and Damian out of the car and up the wooden steps where we were greeted by astonishing bright yellow light and my angel.

“Bella?” He used the same voice he had used when I walked away early, total surprise. I pulled him to a fierce embrace and felt him shiver when I whispered in his ear.

“Keep Alice out of view if you want me to stay. Trust me. Oh. And get everyone out.” I stepped back to Cain and Damian, and flashed him a sexy wink.  

“I’m here to see Alice. How is she?” I flashed him a warning sign and he played along.

“Not so good. But I’m sure she’ll feel better now you are here.” A wide smile whipped across his face. He called out to his family and they all ascended to the door so I could introduce them to my brothers.

“Cain and Damian, this is Edward’s mum and dad, Esme and Carlisle. And that is Jasper and Emmett, his brothers and Rosalie, his sister. Cullen's, these are my brothers, Cain and Damian.” Everyone helloed and shook hands. Just like I had asked, their all turned and left to go hunting, I presume. I turned to my brothers, gave them each a kiss and watched them get into Cain’s blue Cleo, and drive off down the gravel path, honking his honk several times. I waved them off then turned to Edward and pushed him inside, before closing the door. I pulled him roughly by his shirt to meet my lips. His hand caressed my thigh, before placing his hand firmly under my ass, supporting my buckling knees. I was quite enjoying the new Bella and I could feel that Edward was too. With my hands securely tangled in his hair and around his neck, I traded positions with him, slamming him hard into the wall. A slight crack appeared on the cream wall, but neither of us seemed to care.
