I do not own the Twilight Saga…Stephanie Meyer does :(

With a blood curdling scream, I sat bolt upright in bed. Edward was at my side in a second, which made me scream louder. Another split second later he was gone, and Charlie was there, my door smashed against the wall.

"I can't believe he's really gone, how could he have left me? I'm sorry dad I didn't mean to drown, I can't believe I left you all alone." I sobbed.

"Bella, what's wrong? What are you talking about, you just had a bad dream," Charlie said sitting on my bed and awkwardly gathering me in his arms.

"It was so real, how could it have been a dream?" I questioned once I regained some control.

"Wow now I see why you don't like parties, you sleep all day and have terrifying nightmares. I'll make sure to tell Alice that on your next birthday you should just open your gifts and go home to sleep," Charlie muttered.

"Wait, I had my party already and no one tried to eat me?" I muttered to myself. Unfortunately Charlie heard me.

"Yeah Bell's imagine that, you aged a year and nobody tried to eat you, well I'd say it was a pretty successful party." Charlie murmured as he edged toward my door.

"Well I hope you feel better, I'm going fishing with Harry and Billy. I'll see you later."

"Gee thanks dad, wait, tell Harry I say hi will you?"

"Alright," he said before eyeing me suspiciously and clunking down the stairs.

The second his car pulled out of the driveway Edward was back.

"Bella, love, what was that all about?" he questioned, plopping himself gracefully onto my rocking chair.

I explained my whole dream to him, exactly as I remembered it. When I was finished I stared at him waiting for him to speak. It didn't take long, but his reaction wasn't something I expected. He laughed, not just any laugh though, he actually laughed so hard that my rocking chair started to make eerie creaking noises.

"Could you actually picture Jacob Black as a werewolf? Honestly of all the preposterous things you could think of in your dream world, you thought of Jacob as a werewolf." He laughed ever harder.

I just sat there staring at him till he calmed down.

"I'm sorry Bella, but you honestly have nothing to worry about. I will never leave you, I promise. Your hold is permanent and unbreakable. I promise that if I ever think about leaving you that I will have someone rip off my arm and beat me with it, ok?" he said pulling me into a tight hug.

I nodded against his cold chest, I felt tired again, although according to Charlie I slept the whole day.

"Remind me to never let Alice talk me into another party," I sighed, my eyes drooping closed.

"Deal," he said, before humming my lullaby. I drifted off to sleep yet again.
