Edward smiled as Bella kissed him, and listened closely to her and Rose's conversation. Bella wanted to go to college. 'Bella, I've been trying to get you to college for nine years, I know it wasn't possible with Nessie growing up but now Nessie's old enough to go to high school I think you should go. I'm sure Rose would love some company and I think Jasper was thinking of going to. So why don't you join them?' He asked his wife, he knew she would make excuses about Nessie but he could see she wanted to go. Edward wanted Bella to be happy and college would be a good distraction from worrying about Nessie every moment.

Rosalie nodded and then smiled at Edward. {good thinking} she thought to Edward. She wished that Emmett would come to collage too.

Edward heard Rose's encouragement and decided to get Rose to help him. Bella was stubborn but she would sometimes listen if more than one person tried to persuade her. 'Rose your thinking of doing chem? interesting I thought you would choose music this time as it's just you and possibly Jasper at the moment.' Edward was trying to get Bella more interested in the idea, he knew Rose would only do music if Edward wasn't, she didn't like that he was better than her and if he played she couldn't get the attention she thought her skill deserved. Edward smirked as he teased his sister and then carried on convincing Bella, 'Rose what do you think Bella should major in? I thought she would like English or American literature, she hasn't really had a chance to read much recently would give her a chance to study the classics. Might even do some Shakespeare.'

Bella felt like snarling at her husband, knowing him too much, knowing exactally what he was trying to do, and it was working "Edward" she told him "Stop, I know what you're trying to do" she told him, going to sit on the kitchen bench, trying to resist the erge to go and look

Edward resisted the urge to laugh at Bella and kept the innocent expression on his face. 'I'm glad you choose Fork's college Rose it's so close none of us have to relocate and the campus looks great.' Edward smiled innocently at Bella when she looked at him in frustration, he carried on trying to convince Bella. 'This chem book looks quite advanced are there good tutors there?' He innocently asked Rose, knowing already that they had some excellent tutors he'd already looked around the campus and given a donation from the Cullens. Edward swiftly opened a cupboard in the kitchen and brought out a brochure on Fork's college, he sat at the table next to Rose and flicked through. 'English literature. American literature. Classical literature. Hmm... quite a few ancient mythology classes as well. The chemistry lab looks impressive Rose.' Edward looked over to Bella to see her eyeing the brochure but she looked away quickly to act uninterested, he smiled mischievously and passed it to Bella. 'What do you think? I know it's not Dartmouth but we can both enroll in Dartmouth some other time if you like.' He asked Bella to see if he was convincing her.

Bella tried her best not to look at the brocher, wishing Edward knew how much it was killing her on the inside because she so badly wanted to go but felt like she couldn't "You can go to college this year if you want to Edward" Bella told him "I'm going back to High School to look after my daughter"

Rosalie looked from Edward to Bella, not sure what to think. "Personally, I didn't want to leave home, and Forks Collage is quite appealing to me right now too." she said to Edward. "I think you'd do well in History Bella." she said turning towards Bella and smiling. {i'm going to kill you} she thought to Edward. Rosalie frowned at the thought of a tutor. "I don't need a tutor Edward." she smirked at him.

'Rose I was actually thinking more for Bella if she started late or fell behind, although I'm sure she won't. History is a great option actually Bella Jasper did it a while back and I read some of the books you would like it. Unless you already have a course in mind?' He asked Bella to get her to admit she had been thinking about it. He smiled as he saw her look at the brochure again but not open it, she was always so stubborn he thought. He flicked the page open to the history course to show Bella. 'Bella I think we should let Nessie got to high school for her first time herself. I know you want to protect her but you remember how high school was for you and I'm sure you would agree that having Charlie watching you constantly would not have been good.' He raised his eyebrow at Bella to see her reaction and if he was managing to persuade her, he knew she wanted to go but was being stubborn about Nessie. He leant forward and his golden eyes looked closely into hers, 'you know I would never let Nessie do something I considered a risk, I really don't believe high school is a risk the only people in danger are the humans.' Edward teased Bella, he needed her to let Nessie have this for herself or tensions between them would only get worse.

Rosalie nodded in agreement with Edward. "What are you going to do while Nessie's in High School and Bella's in collage Edward?" she asked. she wasn't excited about going to collage alone

"She's not going alone" Bella told Edward "I wasn't half vampire, or eight, when I did High school for the first time" she pointed out, not wanting to let Nessie go by herself

Edward heard that Rose wanted some company at college and knew that if Bella went he would too. 'Well if Bella goes so will I. I was hoping to get a chance to brush up on my italian and greek and would like a chance to do music again, so i think I'll take some of those courses and decided what to major in later.' He told Rose, he hadn't been to college in a while and he'd always wanted Bella to experience college.

Rosalie frowned at Bella. "I agree that it's kind of unreasonable to leave her alone with all thoes humans, but she needs to learn sometime how to go and do things on her own." she shook her head. she was angry now that Edward concidered doing music again at collage. she knew she would never have the chance to shine in music as long as she was in the same house with Edward

"I still don't think it's a good idea to have her in High School Edward" Bella told her husband, not wanting any harm to come to her daughter and trying to change the subject so she would be less temped to look at the brochure in her hands "Are you ok Rose?" she asked her sister, seeing a tensed up look on her face

"I'm fine." Rosalie said through gritted teeth. she was still angry that Edward would do that. she thought about Nessie alone in school and then about Edward excelling in music. it all infuriated her

Bella bit her lip, guessing she might know what was wrong with Roslalie, taking a stab in the dark to fix Rosalie's problem "Edward, I was thinking about doing English Writers, but I'm not going to do it if you won't do it with me" she told him, keeping her eyes on her hands in her lap
