Chapter 27

BellaPOV

We had been home now for about two hours and everything was unpacked and the first two loads of laundry were done, the sooner I could get into my bed the better it's not that I was tired I just felt emotionally drained after my embarrassing confession on the plane. Everything over the last few weeks had really took it out of me...its not everyday your father is shot. Most of the Cullen's had went to hunt except Edward and Jasper and Rachel was not here she went away with her beloved for the day. So that left me alone with broody blonde god and broody bronze god! Seriously if I made a Calendar of the Cullen's I would be a millionaire it would be a best seller of epic proportions.

Edward I understand why he stayed behind but recently Jasper has been acting really weird lately and both him and Alice have been very protective, I had became really close to Jasper. I was just as close to Jasper as I was to Emmett. We had the most fun brotherly sisterly relationship with the teasing but lately he was very serious. As I saw him look out the window he looked for like a guard dog than anything else.

"Ok wanna tell me what's going on?" Edward lifted his head from one of my Medical textbooks that had all of my little post it notes poking out of it. He looked and me and then followed my gaze toward Jasper who didn't look at me but continued to stare.

"Hey Space Cadet!" I walked over and clicked my fingers at him which caused him to break out of whatever he was looking at. He could probably feel my irritation rolling off my whole entire body because his features automatically soften as he looks at me.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?" I shook my head at him and as I touched his shoulder he instantly leaned into it.

"I was asking you that. You have been acting really weird and Alice has been overly protective what going on?" He shook his head and smiled at me before moving away from my touch slightly.

"It's nothing Bella don't panic...everything is fine..." I stepped closer to him and shook my head.

"Look either tell me what's going on or leave..." Edward took a sharp intake of breath as he must have read his mind as his features instantly turned dark.

"What are you saying? Stop taking to each other when Im standing right in front of you! What the fuck is going on?" I knew both of them were hiding something from me but I don't know what it is and to tell you the truth it's freaking me out slightly.

"It's nothing Bella..." All right now Edward is freaking me out besides he was acting strange now too and had a look of pity on his face.

"Stop it...stop trying to protect me ok I know you are hiding something so tell me...NOW!" Both of them walked over toward the sofa and sat side by side as my body started screaming at me this was not good. How much more can I handle to be honest?

"Alice had a vision..." Of course she did the future seeing pixie vamp couldn't stay well enough alone but she had to go nosy in my future.

"And what did Alice see..." They both looked at one another's with a scared expression on their faces.

"Apparently we have found evidence that there is a way to make us human again...it is essentially a cure for Vampirism...She wants to find it for Rosalie more than anything and Esme. They would be able to have children." I couldn't imagine what this could mean for them they all want children and Rosalie would be ecstatic at the prospect of becoming a mother.

"So you will all be human?" They both looked at one another and then found each others shoes very interesting.

"Some of us don't want to..." I shook my head in confusion as Jasper looked at Edward. "We of course want to grow old with our mates but I don't know anything other than my vampire self Bella I couldn't be anything other than what I am." It was then I realised that Jasper knew nothing but the military and war before he became a vampire that's all he remembers.

"It's not a sure thing Bella, Rose and Esme obviously yearn for a Child but I don't know what is happening to be honest. We are still doing research yet and when we know something you will know, I have to go I told Alice I would meet her in town." He kissed me on the cheek and went to the door with a final smile he was gone leaving me alone with Edward which could go either way I will either hit him again or I will throw him down and have my way with him. NOT GOOD IN EITHER RESPECT

As I walked over to the kitchen I turned on the stove and decided to make an Omelette, as I got everything out of the fridge that I had seen that Edward took a seat at the breakfast bar and watched me. It was a good five minutes before I turned to look at him, mostly because I was so sick of the silence.

"Do you wanna be human?" I could tell he was shocked at the fact that I was initiating the conversation usually if he was here I just ignored him but he quickly recovered as I poured the mixture of egg, cheese, bacon and tomatoes into the pan.

"I do..." I don't know why but I couldn't help but allow myself to feel excited about the fact that he would be on a level playing field. "At lease in certain aspects...I would love to be a father, if there is one thing Carlisle has taught me over the years is how to be a good dad and in certain ways I still want that."

It was strange to see this side of Edward because I think I have always thought of him as a child but now I can see the maturity in him, albeit he still has the features of a child but he has grown emotionally and I couldn't help but allow myself to turn to goo a little.

"Bella...I never fully apologised to you for the way I treated you..." I shook my head at him and turned around with my back facing him and flipped my omelette onto the other side.

"Edward it's fine ok let bygones be bygones...lets just have a clean break ok?" He nodded very reluctantly but I walked around and held my hand out for him to take.

"Hi...I'm Bella Swan nice to meet you..." I tilted my head at him and he took my warm, tiny hand in his ice cold large one and smiled.

"Nice to meet you Bella...my name is Edward Cullen..." I smiled and shook hands before he smiled back at me and I went back to take my omelette out of the pan.

"So what now?" He asked with a slightly bewildered expression on his face as I shrugged my shoulders at him in amusement.

"I am not the same person you left Edward and I know you are not them same uptight, pain in the ass, dick head you used to be. So just take it one day at a time." I saw him nod his head in agreement and couldn't stop as the biggest smile erupted on my face.

"You wanna watch a movie?" The fact that he was mentioning a normal activity made me flutter a little bit. This was not the norm for Edward at least it never used to be and the more time I spend with him the more changes I can see in him and I kind of like it. Halfway through Saw I glanced across at him and I knew he knew I was watching him before he turned around toward me.

"What?" He had a mixture of confusion and self consciousness in his eyes and everything happened very fast and I leaned over and kissed him. It was a very chaste kiss and in honesty it wasn't overly passionate but I wanted to do it again.

"Edward..." I let myself get caught up in the moment and saw his little brain was completely fried as well as my own. I felt a lot of pressure here in this particular moment but the part of my brain that I have been trying to ignore for the past few weeks eventually let me cave as I threw my entire body at him and lost myself in his kisses for the first time in a long time I felt my entire body erupt.
