Alice and Rosalie were discharged from the hospital after a few days. Somehow Edward is still with me, as a Cullen, instead of Masen. Its remarkable, really. Carlisle was taken the day I discovered him with memories, and Emmett and I were taken a few days after.

"Edward..." I whisper, turning to face him. We spent the night under the stars, having managed to track down our cottage. Sadly, its in the state it was before Esme renovated. So basically, its rubble.

"Yes?" He smiles at me, still managing to dazzle me, even as a human.

I try to clear my head. "I'm not sure we have much time left..."

He sighs, and pulls me on top of him. "I know the perfect thing we can do..." He grins, and suddenly he's pulling me to my feet. Quickly, he spins me in a circle and pulls me into his side. "Dancing?" He leans forward so I'm leaning backward in his arms, my back arched, with his mouth inches from my throat, like on our prom night. "Ice skating?"

I laugh as we straighten up. "Wow..." I chuckle. "Did you seriously just suggest those? I'm human now, the balance problems are back."

Edward laughs, places my left hand on his upper arm, and places his left hand on my waist. Our other hands join and he begins to lead me in the waltz we learnt for our wedding. "Silly Bella, you should know by now. Its all in the leading." He winks.

I bite my lip against the laughter. "Didn't anyone tell you its rude to quote your past self?"

He grins his crooked grin again. "Esme might have, once..." His smile fades at the mention of Esme. I slap his arm lightly.

"Hey!" I say sternly. "Don't be sad. Esme wouldn't want us to be sad. She'd want us to go ice skating, and look after our daughter."

Edward growls slightly. "Who still ended up with the mutt."

Wow... If he's this upset about Ness and Jake being together if he thinks Jake is human... I think I'm going to leave out the part where Jake is now a wolf.

"Well..." I smile, placing my hands on his chest. "We don't have to worry about that now. Come on, there's a rink in Seattle, and we can get there soon if we take Carlisle's car."

"Seriously Bella?" Edward laughs. "Won't Charlie be worried? And Carlisle will notice if his car is gone, Bella. Even if Emmett did teach you how to hot wire it."

I laugh again. This is the happiest I've been since... Well, its not hard to guess since when. "Oh yeah. Well, you still have the Volvo, so... And Charlie thinks I'm spending the weekend at Alice's so its fine."

Edward raises his eyebrows. "Even now, when I'm human, you still won't tell your father you're with me?"

I take a step back, out of his arms and begin to fold the blankets we were lying on. "Hell no," I reply. "Do you want me to give him an aneurysm?"

Edward helps me fold the blankets. "No, I guess not. Now come on, lets get to Seattle."

It takes a little longer than usual to get to Seattle. With Edward driving, at least. "Why so slow?" I ask as we park outside the ice rink, even if he had been driving at 80 miles per hour.

He frowns, and looks up at me from over the car. "Didn't want to risk it," He explains. "My reflexes aren't what they used to be." Then he winks and throws and catches his keys.

"True," I laugh, walking into the rink. We walk up to a woman at a desk who hands us a pair of skates each after we've handed over the right amount of money.

Edward takes my hand and steps onto the rink infront of me. Slowly I step on a let out a squeal and fall forward into Edward, who, not as used to human strength and balance, falls backwards onto the ice with me on top of him.

It was funny until I saw his head crack against the ice.

"Are you okay?" I ask frantically as I pull him up.

"Fine," He groans, and then gasps as he pulls his hand away from the back of his head. My stomach flips when I see the glistening crimson liquid running down his fingers.

Blood.

"Oh God!" I cry, pulling him off the ice and into a chair. "You're bleeding!"

He sighs. "Its fine Bella."

"No its not!" I protest. "We have to get you to a doctor-"

He cuts me off. "No, Bella, its just a cut. Its already stopped bleeding. If I get dizzy, I promise to tell you but lets just get back onto the rink."

I raise my eyebrows. "Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay then!" I smile, and we walk back onto the rink.

Edward's right; its all in the leading. Somehow he got me to spin on the tips of the blades on my shoes without me falling over. He really is incredible.

After about half an hour, I get a phone call. Edward and I sit down quickly, and we frown at the caller ID.

"Alice?" I say into the phone. Its a bit out of her character to call during a date.

"Bella!" Alice's panicked voice meets my ears, and I wince the volume. "Bella, I'm freaking out."

"Alice, why?" I ask, concerned for my best friend apart from Jasper.

"Did Edward ask you if you should go dancing, or ice skating?" Alice asks nervously. I stiffen.

"Yes?" I reply quietly.

Alice lets out a sob. "I knew it! Bella, I think I'm having visions of the future!"

I sigh. "Alice, listen to me. Everything is going to be okay. Just don't tell anyone else and we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay," Alice agrees quietly from the other end, and after a quick goodbye I hang up.

"What was that about?" Edward inquires.

I laugh lightly. "Alice thinks she's having visions of the future."

Edward laughs too, just a bit louder. "Oh dear. That must have scared her."

"Not half," I chuckle. "Come on, lets go."

That night I decide to go back to Charlie's, as Edward's parents called him home for some family emergency. "Love you," I whisper to Edward in the car round the corner from Charlie's house. It would bring up too many unwanted questions if I pulled up in Edward's Volvo.

"Love you too," Edward whispers back, and kisses me lightly. "Lets not say goodbye, if this is really goodbye. That seems too final. Lets just say... See you later."

"Okay," I smile, and climb out of the car. "See you later."

"See you later, Mrs Cullen." And the last thing I hear is his laugh as I close the door and he drives away.

When I walk into the house, Charlie sits up from his relaxed slouch on the sofa. "Hey dad," I smile.

"Hey Bells," He smiles back. "You're home early."

"Uh huh," I yawn, "I wanted to come home for a little bit. I feel like I've been neglecting you lately."

Charlie shakes his head at me. "You don't have to look after me, Bells. You baby me too much."

"Oh well," I roll me eyes, "Night, dad."

"Night Bells."

At about five in the morning I wake up to a loud crash coming from downstairs. Blurry eyed and half asleep, I trudge down the wooden stairs to find Charlie sitting at the table in full police attire.

"Sorry for waking you Bells," Charlie says gruffly, struggling to get a boot on. Once its on he stands up.

"Where are you going?" I ask wearily.

"The Masen's," Charlie replies solemnly. Oh God no. "Edward Masen's gone missing."
