A/N the next chapter after this of the story really focuses on Edwards past a lot more. Many of you may be thinking that the description to this story was wrong, but oh no, it certainly wasn't. Edward and Bella were both tormented in different ways, but as you know, two broken hearts can heal each other. . . .

Hope you enjoy!

True love,

When I say I love you, please believe it's true.

When I say forever, know I'll never leave you.

When I say goodbye, promise me you won't cry,

Because the day I'll be saying that will be the day I die.

Mostly everyone stared at Bella in shock as she walked from our dining room towards the kitchen, but I knew I had the gaze of an overprotective father and brother on me. Emmett had tensed beside me, his hard gaze burning a hole straight through my head. Damnit Bella, good way to shock everyone.

I was now absolutely terrified of living with Emmett, I'm pretty sure he was planning my muder right now.

Mom and Dad were sat there with small smiles on their faces and Dads hand was wrapped around Moms waist pulling her closer to his chair. Alice, Rose and Jazz all looked fairly shocked, just like everyone else here.

An awkward silence came, it was so loud that I could hear Becky and Jay in the downstairs apartment. I prayed to the lord that Bella would hurry up getting the dessert ready.

"Pregnant?!" Alice screeched. "This is so exciting!! Rose, Bella's going to be six months pregnant at yours and Emmett's wedding!"

Of course that would be on Alice's mind, the wedding. I huffed and pulled my seat back. I made my way into the kitchen to see Bella's hands rested on the counters and her head slouched down.

"Bella love," I sighed, and then walked around the kitchen counter and placed my hands on her waist. "I think you just gave your brother and father a heart attack." I chuckled.

I felt her body shake slightly. At first I thought it was laughter, but when she took a deep breath and sniffed I suddenly knew she was definitely not laughing.

"Bella what's wrong?" I asked, had I done something?

She sniffed and turned in my arms. Burying her head into my chest she wept. "Edward I think I need help."

"What kind of help sweetheart? With the dessert or--" she cut me off

"Not the dessert you idiot." She snapped. Ouch. She sighed and kissed my clothed chest and wrapped her arms around my back. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry sweetheart." I murmured and kissed her hair softly. "But please tell me what I can do."

"The thing is, after Jake - after he raped me- I lost a part of me that I can't seem to get back. I don't want our baby growing up with a mother who is mentally not right. I want help, for my baby's sake if anything." She confessed, her head rested on my chest.

I wrapped her tighter in my arms and rested us against the kitchen counter. "Bella, love, I'll do whatever you want me to do to help you. If that means contacting a therapist for you, then I'll help you."

She shook her head against me and cried harder. "Why are you being so nice to me Edward?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm nothing but a broken girl that you knocked up, and you feel guilty so you're staying here. I've trapped you ." Her harsh words seemed to slice through into my heart. I flicked slightly and she looked up.

Tears gathered into my eyes with a sting and I let go of her. Closing my eyes I walked back until I hit onto the counter the other side of her.

"Is that how you see it? You see our baby as a mistake?"

"No!" She shouted. I heard the silence die down in the next room where our family were seated. They were listening. "This baby is the best thing that has ever happened to me. YOU are the best thing that has ever happened to me. But that doesn't mean I'm not trapping you in something that could of waited!"

"Bella love." I started, "You are what I want. These past months have been the most happy months I've ever had. Our friendship before you left just wasn't enough for me. I've loved you for a very very long time Isabella. A long, long time."

She picked her eyes up from the floor and looked at me.

"I knew I loved you. I knew it, but because you were my best friend I thought that was all you wanted. And now this happened-" she said looking down out our growing child inside her. "-I thought you only told me you loved me because of our baby."

"No never my love. I love you because you are the most loving, compassionate, and brave woman I have ever met. You possess more kindness in your finger than anyone could possess in their whole body. And what makes me love you more is that you are wrapped around our very own creation that was made out of love. She or he wasn't made out of regret. I love you Isabella Marie Swan. I want to scream it on top of the Empire State Building and let the whole fucking world know. I love you because you are my family. I love you because you are simply you. Never change for anyone, I won't let you change. And because you've just admitted to me that you'd like to get some help because of the past, says that you love our child just as much as I do. Maybe even more. You want to make sure our son or daughter is happy and that makes me so happy Bella. So fucking happy. You have no idea."

All the feelings that had been built up inside, spilled onto the edge and seemed to make my own well of emotion explode as I broke down in sobs mumbling 'I love you' over and over again.

Her arms wrapped around me suddenly. Our own little bubble appeared around us as we both clung to each other.

Unexpectedly I felt another pair of arms wrap around us. I pulled my head back and noticed that mom was here, and hugging tightly onto us.

"Mom what are you-"

"You shush Edward Cullen. Let me hug my family."

I didn't argue I hugged her back and what dawned on me slowly was that she heard everything. Most probably everyone heard everything.

"Esme, did you hear- did you hear everything?" Bella asked slowly as we all pulled apart.

Mom nodded her head and looked down. "Bella what that man did to you, was vile. Sick. Twisted. But I need you to understand that no matter what, we are here for you. Anything you need. You're family, you always have been to me and Carlisle. You're also carrying our sons baby, so that marks you permanently into this family. We love you Bella."

They hugged again, and for once for a long time Bella had smiled truly. It was a real smile that lit up her face, not one that tried to fool anyone and even her. It was real.

Just like my love for her.
