The Brandon Mate-Edward Cullen

Ten

The one thing that Clara didn't want to happen was to see she was right. She stood near Edward's car as she watched Bella walk into the woods with Alexis behind her. Edward saw her and sighed as he walked over to her. "This is not what I was expecting." She says. "Now we're in for it and I don't like it."

"Alexis caused this and she will be the one to blame..."

"I did this!" Clara says, "I was the one who saw her, I was the one who stayed quiet, I made the choice in hopes Alexis would finally be happy. I shouldn't have done that, but I did and look what is happening now."

"Clara..."

Clara walked away making Edward sigh. He looked at them and sighed as this was not what he wanted. "She did it so Alexis could have someone to love." Alice said. "Edward, go find her and talk to her. She needs you now more than ever."

Edward drove around Forks till he found his mates scent. He came to a stop as it started raining. "Clara!" He said as he appeared in front of her.

"I just want to be left alone."

"Look at me." He said getting her to look at him. "This is not your fault. Alexis didn't have someone and she was going to miss her chance if it wasn't for you."

"Bella wasn't supposed..."

"That was Bella's choice." He tells her. "You didn't do nothing to cause this." Clara walked passed him not wanting to hear it. "Damnit, Clara, none of this is your fault."

"How do you know it's not my fault. Rosalie probably thinks it as well as the others. I should have told someone about my vision, but I didn't as I wanted Alexis to be happy, to feel love, and to stay." Clara says as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. "This wasn't supposed to happen, Edward and now that she knows...it's all because of me."

Edward looked her in her eyes as he placed his hand on her cheek. "None of this is your fault, baby. I don't think it is or anyone else doesn't think it's your fault. Clara, Alexis is finally happy and because of you, you got her to stay when she wanted to leave. I'm so glad we didn't lose a member."

"So..."

"I will never blame you, Clara. I couldn't do that too you." He said. "I love you, Clara."

"I love you, Edward."

The next day, Edward held Clara in her arms making her smile. They were standing in their field when they heard voices. "I hear Alexis and Bella."

"Yeah." She said as she looked up at him. "Want to go?"

"No." He said as he kissed her cheek. "I like where we are now."

"I do too." Clara said as she looked at him.

Edward listened to her mind and smiled. Clara smiled as her vision clouded over and saw their baby trying to crawl as Edward held Clara in his arms smiling at their baby. "That day will be perfect." He said making her look at him. "I have everything I want right now."

"You didn't see the rest, did you?"

"I didn't want to." He tells her. "I want that part to be a surprise."

Clara smiled. "Just like what you have planned." She said. "I try my best to not think of what you have in mind."

"You guys know I can hear you." Alexis said.

Clara and Edward smiled as they looked at one another. Before Edward brought them to the ground making her laugh. Clara looked at him smiling as she moved a piece of his hair for him to grab her finger and bring it to his mouth. "Edward, don't you da..."

Edward bit her finger making her glare at him. "Dare." She finished. "Seriously?"

Edward smiled making Clara smile. She laid her head on his chest looking at the sky with him. Edward released her finger and kissed her head making her smile. "I love you, Clara."

"I love you, Edward and thanks for this wonderful day we spent together."

"Anything for you."
