"Ed"

"No"

"Eddie?" I asked hopefully.

"Not a chance. Why do I even have to have a nickname? I like being called Edward. Why does it have to be shortened?"

"You call me by a nickname all the time." I remind him.

"Would you prefer me to call you Isabella?" I cringed.

"No. I like being called Bella, especially by you. But I think I should have a nickname for you. It would make us more connected." I state reasonably.

"It would be hard for us to be more connected." He says, his eyes melting into mine as I become a puddle of happiness on the floor.

"I know! I've got it." He looks at me, waiting. One eyebrow slightly raised.

"Teddy." He just stairs at me, looking a bit taken aback.

"Erm..."

"It's Teddy or Teddie Eddie!" I tell him, grinning cheekily.

"Teddy's good."
