The Brandon Mate-Edward Cullen

Six

Clara smiled as she sat in the living looking through a magazine. Edward arrived home and saw his mate relaxing and walked over to her. "You know you can't scare me." She tells him.

"There are days I hate your gifts."

Clara walked over and kissed him. "But you'll love what is in store." She tells him as she walked away making Edward follow. She giggled as she knew he wasn't too far behind her. "Edward, I know your behind me."

Edward tackled her and made her look at him with a smile. "You can't tease me this time." He said. "It's just us."

Clara grabbed him and dragged him into their room for the surprise.

The next day, Clara stood with Edward as they watched Alexis go to her class, Clara looked at her mate and sighed. "Let her handle it." He tells her as he walked her to class. "Bella will learn that Alexis just left for a break."

"That's if she believes that lie, honey." She tells him as they stood in the empty hallway. "Bella is a curious person and she may know the difference between the truth and a lie. This is a problem that will cause us danger later whenever Bella learns the truth."

"Clara Cullen, I will keep you safe and you know that." Clara looked at him. "Your forgetting that I can read your mind."

"Sometimes I tend to do that." She tells him. "Rosalie made a point."

"We are not killing..."

"That's not what I meant." She says. "She's danger."

Outside, Edward and Clara were having a deep conversation about their plans for the weekend when they were interrupted by the sound of a vehicle loosing control. Clara gasped as her vision clouded over causing Edward to hold her close so no one wouldn't ask questions.

Clara saw Alexis messing up. She noticed her vision was back to normal when she saw Alexis doing exactly what she saw. "We're screwed."

"Let's go."

Clara sat smiling at her sketch of a nursery when she felt arms around her. "Hey." She replies.

"Hey." Edward said and saw the sketch. "That's beautiful." He replies. "I just wished we could have that life..."

"Edward, I don't know about you, but who knows." She said. "Someone out there may be lucky to have such a gift and them being a vampire." Edward smiled at her stubbornness. "I'm not giving up hope."

"That's okay." He says. "As long as I get to have you all to myself...." he said as he kissed her.

Clara smiled as she was happy to have Edward. She didn't want to tell him the vision of them and a small baby. Clara looked at him as he stood her up and carried her off. It will have to wait. She thought as she managed to block Edward from reading into her mind.
