Forever And Always

Chapter 21

Bella P.O.V

Edward wasn't happy at all with my choice of using me in order to get Tanya, but there was no other way. That night he didn't sleep in his room, instead he didn't come back to the house at all. I felt bad, I felt miserable for hurting him but there was no other way to get our son back.

The next day when he came back home he barely spoke a word to me. I was in the living room talking to Emmett and Jasper who had just graduated and came back to help us with the investigation.

"There's really no need," I told them, "I already feel bad that we missed your graduation and now... this-"

"Bella, we really don't mind," Jasper said. "We know how excited Edward was when you were pregnant. Damn, the guy wouldn't stop smiling every fucking day and when he was told he died Edward was distraught."

"Let us help you," Emmett said.

I shook my head, "This will be over soon," I said, "I'll be meeting with Tanya, we just need to contact her."

"Wait," Emmett said, "you're kidding me, right? Bella is Edward okay with this?"

"What do you think?" Alice said. "He's pissed and hasn't come home since Bella decided to take action."

"Bella, I don't think it's a good idea," Jasper whispered. "We don't know what Tanya could do and..."

I heard the front door being opened, then there were heavy steps. I immediately knew it was Edward.

"Edward, hi," Emmett said.

"Welcome home, guys," he muttered. "Catching up?"

I stood up, taking my cane. "Where were you all night?" I asked him.

"Well, I need sleep. I'm literally and emotionally feel like shit," he hissed, "enjoy yourselves."

"Edward!" I said.

"I said I'm tired," he growled.

I tried hard not to cry when I heard his steps back up the stairs. After that he didn't come back down all day and, to be honest, I felt miserable. I didn't want him to be mad at me, I hated when he was mad at me.

With trouble I went to his room. I heard him snore from the bed, hopefully. I followed the sound of his snore and sat on the bed right next to him.

"What?" He jerked awake when I touched him. "Oh," he sighed, "something wrong?" He asked, not being able to hide his worry. He may be mad but that doesn't mean he cares.

"I don't want you to be mad at me," I said.

"You know what got me pissed, Bella. Damn it!" He snapped getting off the bed, "Bella, why do you think I've been to the station every fucking day, huh? I want Bruno back as much as you do, but the last fucking thing I want is to loose you."

"You won't," I promised, "you won't loose me at all, Edward. Probably, maybe if you just accept the risk I'm willing to take-"

"Because you didn't give me no choice!" He snapped, louder. "You chose this, you chose to leave me."

"If I die, you'll have a part of me," I cried.

"Do you honestly think I could love him, after losing you," he growled.

"Please, don't see it that way," I sobbed.

"You gave me no other way to see it, because it's me that's going to lose you and I don't choose that. I don't."

"Can you please have faith in me," I cried, my voice fading away. "Edward, I can't do this alone and I know you can't either. I can't fight Tanya knowing that you're mad at me, that you're hurt, when I go I want to know that you're going to be there waiting for me. Please," I begged.

"Don't beg me to help you commit a suicide mission," he growled.

"Edward, I'm begging you," my voice cracks. "I'm begging you."

There's a silence in the room for minutes, long, eternal minutes where my sobs are the only sound going on. Suddenly, his arms wrap around me, giving me comfort. I sob against his chest, letting it all out. All the tears I held back the past days, weeks, are finally coming out.

"If that's what you want," he said, "I'll try to accept it. Please, just please promise me that you'll come back to me."

"I will," I sobbed, "me and Bruno are coming back."

~~~~ Two Days Later ~~~~~

Edward P.O.V

I sighed, driving to the police station where just an hour ago they finally found Tanya's number and are getting ready for Bella to finally make the call. I still haven't been able to accept the fact that Bella wants to face Tanya, I can't take any chance of losing Bella at all.

We enter the conference room where Jacob is waiting with the rest of the group. There are computers all over the table, Sam is typing with headphones on, concentrated on what's he's doing.

"Here," he gives me the phone, "when you're ready just press call and give it to her. Sam would be recording the whole conversation and locate the place she's hiding."

"Ready," Sam muttered.

"I'm ready," Bella said, reaching for the phone.

I doubted for a second but at the end I finally pressed call and gave it to her. She immediately took it and put it on her ear.

Suddenly we heard the speakers that were recoding the conversation. At the third ring, she answered but didn't say anything.

"Tanya?" Bella said, calmly. "It's Bella, I want to negotiate the possibility of a trading."

"Of what?" Tanya snapped.

Bella shivered when she heard her voice. "Give me my son back, and we'll end this face to face. Only you and me, Tanya, no one else."
