As the melody drifted from the Cullen home, her Edward welcoming her back home with the lullaby he'd wrote for her, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. How much she loved that man could never be described because there were no words. Renesmee would probably be asleep when she returned, but she would give her the locket soon. She only had weeks left...if that.
As she grabbed the files and stuffed them into a secret compartment in the back pack she exited the Mercedes. In the darkened garage she found a secret cabinet to hide it in and placed it there for safe keeping. Her thoughts may be secure from Edward, but if he found it, the gig was up. She straightened her hair, and palmed her coat as she entered the door. There he was in an instant, his arms wrapped around her waist. She smiled up at him. "Hello, to you too."

His fingers had delicately caressed across the keys to the piano in the Cullen lounge, the melody echoing through the silent room in their home. The lullaby that he had written for his beloved Bella, her own song that could not be expressed with any choice of words, but through the soul of the melody. No words could be written to this song as there was none that he could use to express what he felt for his Bella. His wife. Forever.
Renesmee had settled into a gentle sleep in Rosalie's arm as she cooed her close to her chest. She had taken her to Edward and Bella's room to sleep as he continued to play the lullaby. His ears heard the garage door open as Bella's car parked safely inside. He finished playing the piano as he stood as he heard Bella fluster around in the garage, unsure to what she was doing. He walked over casually towards the door that led to the garage as it opened swiftly and he caught her in his arms as they snaked their way around her tiny waist.
"I have missed you"
His hand slid into her soft luscious hair and his lips gently kissed the tip of her nose, inhaling her intoxicating scent.

Taken aback, more like...dazzled, as he wound his arms around her small waist. A small giggle escaped from her mouth. They stood by the door, alone in their own little world, all of the family elsewhere in the house. "I've only been gone a few hours." She said teasingly. Deep down, she missed him just as much. She took the beige colored trench coat Alice had left in her closet. She was trying to dress more...sophisticated. Especially for her meeting with Jay.
Her blue colored blouse now out in the open, his favorite color on her. She reached into the jacket pocket to retrieve the locket. "I picked this up today for Ren. *sigh* Nessie...Do you think she'll like it? The shop owner said it meant 'more than my own life'..." As she held it out for him to see.

His hands clasped around her back as her gentle hands laid on his broad shoulders as she the curves of the lips spread into a smile.
"I will always miss you. Wherever you go without me". She began to unwind herself from his grip, his arms feeling the loss of her body close to his own. She began to remove the trench coat, well one of the trench coat's that his dear pixie sister Alice had purchased for Bella with quite a variety of other clothing designers.
Nothing ever came simple with Alice, she always had to go above and beyond with Bella and her choice of fashion. But he always did love the color of blue on Bella, against her skin. His favorite color on her when she had been human and still was as a vampire.
She had returned with a locket in her hand as she held it up for him to see, "more than my own life" she had said. He looked at the necklace inscription and he nodded. For once the shop keeper had the right translation.
"'More than my own life' It is beautiful. I am sure she will love it. Its unique, very appropriate for our daughter"
He continued to smile at her, she had taken to motherhood as a fish to water and was a complete natural.

Bella smiled as she intertwined her hand in his as they headed to the room to gather Renesmee up in their arms to bring her home, to her own bed. After telling the family goodnight, they headed through the woods and across the small river to their quiet little cottage. She watched in the door frame as Edward laid her to sleep, he was a wonderful father and the best husband she could ask for.
His cold hand met hers again, as he led her by to the plush couch pulling her down into him. "I don't think I can ever tire of this...you...and Nessie. All of it. Just...to know that...*she sighs, thinking of how to word it* that, it could possibly be the beginning of the end." She hated talking like that, but knew that he always wanted to know what she was thinking...this was the one thing she could tell him.

They had said the farewell's to the family as he cradled Nessie close to his chest as she snoozed soundly in his arms. After exiting the main house, they made their way through the sleeping forest as the leaves danced slowly in the warming breeze that swayed through the flowing branches.
The sound of the gushing river could be heard from their cottage. Their home. Its soothing tranquility sound washing over their worries and woes. Edward laid Nessie down to sleep in her own bed, wrapping the softest duvet that Alice could find as such a short notice around her tiny shoulders as she drifted into a deep soundless sleep.
As he craned the door shut to their daughters bedroom, his ears listening to the sound of her light breathing as she tossed in her bed. He smiled as Bella pulled him on to the plush couch as her head rested against his shoulder. He could sense the worry in her words, the fear of doubt. The Volturi were a powerful guardianship and were more powerful than any vampire could expect.
"Bella...I promised you forever *he placed his fingers under her chin to raise her eyes to meet his own* The Volturi are the most powerful vampires known in existence. But Aro....the Volturi guards can be reasoned with. We had the advantage of Alice on our sides to know that they will arrive when snow falls to the ground *he leaned in to kiss her lips* I promised you forever...And forever we shall have....I promise"

She listened to his soft words, that meant so much to her ears, but still had worry in her gut. Her body leaning against his, her head resting on his shoulder as she looked up at him. His lips met hers and she closed her eyes to bask in the soft peck she was given. As he said the last line, her eyes still closed as she gave a small nod.
Bella wouldn't tell him so, but the mention of her name made her heart ache. Alice...on their side, but gone. As was Jasper. His arms tangled around her, holding her close. "I love you, Edward...forever." She still had worry in her mind, but pushed it aside for the night. Reaching up to meet his lips again as she ran a tongue over his soft bottom lip.

His fingers trailed across her delicate skin as she relaxed into his arms as he pulled her body closer to his own, feeling the need and want to comfort her. One of his hands tangled in her hair as she pulled their lips together as her tongue ran across his own bottom lip.
"My Bella...I will always and forever. I shall love you"
He pulled her lips to his own again as his forehead rested against her's.
"Forever is what we shall have"
He took his hand into his own and placed them softly onto his chest above his own un-beating heart.
"We are one"

They laid like that for what seemed like hours, talking, kissing...doing other things. No need to sleep anymore, only an abundance of time (hopefully) to spend together, getting to know each other fully. Not that she didn't know him, sometimes, better than she knew herself. It was the time she spent with him that made her realize her choices. Her choice to stay with him, the choice to go to him in Italy, the choice to marry him, the sacrificial choice to have their child no matter the cost. It all amounted to the choice she made to fight through the agony of being changed into a vampire, and now the choices she made led to this battle. This battle, for their lives. She was at peace laying next to him. Now, just to wait until Renesmee awoke for the day.
