A/N: haha this had to be done, its based around one of my favourite movies Waitress. If you haven't seen it, do see it. This is Bella X Edward, most Twilight characters will be featured and I will find a way to incorporate James and Laurent (Victoria has a role). It is All Human too. I probably shouldn't start a new story but I should be able to update more after next week. I hope you all enjoy it!
All pie names and ingredients come from here: .com/2008/06/12/all-the-pies-of-the-movie-waitress/
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, All Twilight characters belong to Stephanie Meyer, most of the plot of the story belongs to Adrienne Shelly (RIP) and Fox Searchlight pictures.
Description: Bella Swan is a small town waitress who finds herself pregnant and trapped in an unhappy marriage. She forms an unlikely relationship with her doctor in a last ditch effort at Happiness. Edward X Bella. All Human.
R & R everyone =D
Bella's POV
I sat on the toilet gripping the pregnancy test, I looked down at it as two pink lines formed
"Pink lines mean I'm pregnant don't they" I sighed glancing at Rosalie who was holding the box
"It sure does Bell's" she gave me a sympathetic smile.
"I thought you and Mike didn't have sex Bella" Angela stated wearing the same sympathetic smile as Rose
"we don't but he got me drunk" I sighed
"so it couldn't be someone else's baby?" Rose asked bluntly
"no it couldn't be someone else's baby Rosalie Hale" I practically spat at her
"Fine Bella whatever you say" she replied sceptically
"Rose would you leave poor Bella alone" Angela finally stepped in.
I closed my eyes as a new pie came to mind, I don't want Mikes Baby pie; quiche with egg and brie cheese with a smoked ham centre.
"Would you girls get back to work already" Jacob yelled through the bathroom door breaking me out of my pie filled thoughts
"give a minute Jake" Rosalie shrieked back at him.
"What were you thinking Bella?" Angela smiled
"New pie, I don't want Mikes Baby pie, a quiche with egg and brie cheese and a smoked ham centre.
"ohh sounds nice" Rosalie said soothingly "except we couldn't put that name up on the board"
"Bad baby pie then."
I got up from the toilet pulling my panties on under my uniform "I'm sorry Bella" Angela said giving me a hug
"thanks Ang" my two best friends put their arms through mine and led me out the door
"finally now get to work" Jacob said still standing at the grill.
We walked out of the kitchen area as the customers began to pile in "Bella would you please take old Billy for me, I can't deal with him" Rosalie whined
"Sure Rose" I smiled, I quite liked old Billy. Sure he was fussy and often had specific requests but he was nice enough
"Hello Billy" I smiled as I approached his table
"Hello there Bella" he looked up from his paper
"what would you like today Billy?" he rattled off his order as I wrote it all down "I don't want my orange juice just yet Bella, I want it when my food comes. Right now I want my two glasses of water without ice" he explained.
"I know Billy, I'll get everything sorted right away" I said understandingly
"are you up the duff the Bella?" he asked randomly
"keep it down Billy, nobodies supposed to know" I hissed
"whatever you say Bella" he ran his fingers through his long black and grey peppered hair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat outside with Rosalie and Angela waiting for Mike to pick me up "Are you going to tell Mike?" Angela asked
"Nope, I'm going to leave him and get away with my baby" I smiled at the thought of being away from Mike
"If you need help you know where to find us" Rosalie said getting up as Emmett's Jeep pulled up in front of us.
"Thanks Rose" I said as she leant down kissing my cheek and then Angela's
"Its never a problem Bells" she got into the jeep as Emmett gave us a wave before pulling away from the diner
"it's a good thing you're doing Bella" Angela smiled
"Thanks Ang" I cringed as I heard the sound of Mikes car horn sounded "I'm going to do it tonight" I said confidently, knowing if I left it I'd lose all my courage would fade.
Mike sat in his car looking peeved "you know where to find me Bella" she whispered as she embraced me in a hug, I nodded and got into our old beat up car
"Hello Bella" Mike said as he pulled away
"Hi" I squeaked nervously
"you're not going to ask me how my day was?" he growled
"No. I'm leaving you" I cringed as the car came to a halt
"You're what!?!" he yelled, his blue eyes portrayed nothing but anger
"I want a divorce Mike" I spat back at him
"you ungrateful bitch" he snapped pushing my head into the window "I worked hard to provide for you!" he screeched pushing my head against the window again
"stop it Mike!" I yelled pushing him away
"Fine Bella, we're going home, you can get your shit and go" he started the car again and began to speed home.
I closed my eyes as another pie came to mind, I hate my husband pie; its made with bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened, made in a pudding and drowned in caramel. I got out of the car when it pulled up to the house and rushed inside grabbing a bag, I went into the bedroom and began to pack my stuff
"I'm going to sleep now Bella, you better be gone when I wake up" Mike growled as he climbed into bed.
"It'll be my pleasure" I muttered continuing to pack, I waited until he was definitely asleep and went around the house finding the various bits of money I had hidden in the last year in order to leave him. I stuffed it all in my bag and walked out the door taking my cell phone out of my pocket and dialled Angela's number "Bella, what's going on?" she said answering after the first ring
"I ended it" I felt a grin creeping onto my face
"that's fantastic, do you still want to stay?" she said excitedly
"that would be great"
"okay, do you need me to pick you up?"
"no thanks, you're only around the corner. I'll be there in 5" I hung up and began the walk. As I walked another pie idea came into my mind I'm free to live again pie, Banana and blueberries with cream cheese and a thick top crust. (A/N: I named this. Lol.)
I stood outside Angela's small cottage, it was avocado green on the outside, two small windows either side of the front door with flower filled window boxes. I raised my hand to knock on the door when It was opened and Angela stood there grinning "I'm so proud of you Bella" she said pulling me into a hug
"Thanks Ang" I said as we broke the embrace "and thanks for letting me stay."
"it's a not a problem." she smiled warmly, Angela had been my best friend since high school and she had gotten me the job at Billy's Diner when I first married Mike. She sat down in her living room on her big fluffy couch "Bella do you think you could my make up after work tomorrow?" she bit her lip
"sure I could, but I think you'd be better to ask Rosalie. She's good at that stuff"
"No Bella she goes too over the top and I want to make a good first impression on Ben" her big brown eyes were practically begging me
"Fine Ang, I'll do your make up" I chuckled "So whose Ben?"
"Ben Cheney, he used to go to Forks High with us" she ran her fingers through her long black hair
"Oh that Ben, he was always nice."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked in the door of the small doctors office nervously "Um…I have an appointment with Doctor Cullen" I said biting my lip
"name" the receptionist said rather coldly
"Isabella Swan"
"alright, come with me" she lead me into the small doctors office "you can change into this gown and the doctor will be right with you."
I put the Marshmallow Mermaid Pie, I made for Dr Cullen on the small side table and took my clothes off slowly pulling the backless gown on and sat on the end of the medical bed kicking my feet back and forth.
"Isabella" a male voice questioned standing outside the door "are you ready for me to come in?"
"uh sure" I looked up as an unfamiliar figure entered the room "who are you?" I questioned the bronze haired stranger in front of me.
"I'm Dr Edward Mason" he gave me a crooked grin
"what happened to Dr Cullen?" I had a hard time stopping myself from staring into his stunning green eyes
"my mother...Dr Cullen is in Italy with her husband" he explained almost nervously
"Esme is your mother?"
"well yeah…adopted mother" he explained
"oh I see" I said feeling awkward.
"Is that pie for me?" he asked eyeing the pie I had made for Dr Cullen
"um…well it was for Dr Cullen. But I guess you could have it" I handed it too him as he gave me another crooked grin
"thanks Isabella"
"call me Bella" I smiled.
"well Bella, what brings you here today?" his velvety voice questioned
"I think I'm pregnant" I sighed
"well lets do some blood tests and make sure everything's okay." he gracefully walked over to the door he had entered in "Jessica could you please take some bloods from Mrs Swan" he said out the door before moving back to the spot in front of me, a girl with mousy brown hair skipped in the door a few minutes later "Hi, I'm Nurse Jessica" she said excitedly
"um hi" I mumbled taken a back by the overly enthusiastic girl.
I sat back and let her take my bloods when I noticed she was busy staring at Edward "are you done yet?" I asked breaking the silence.
"uh yeah…" she said fumbling the stuff in her hands as she took her eyes off of Edward
"Thanks" I said as she walked back out the door
"Sorry about that" he rolled his eyes "she has this insane school girl crush on me" he said as if someone being attracted to him was some sort of a strange thing, I could certainly see why though, he had god like looks and his pale skin bought out the green in his eyes as did his bronze hair that sat messily on his head yet perfect at the same time, his warm velvety voice and of course his beautiful crooked grin all amounted to the perfect man.
"I don't mean to be blunt, but have you looked in the mirror lately Ed…Dr Mason? You're a good looking man and you seem like a nice guy. despite the annoyingness of her school girl crush, I can honestly say I understand why" I looked at his horrified at what had sped out of my mouth before I could think it through
"thanks Mrs Swan" he said taken aback
"call me Bella and Its Miss Swan now." I corrected him again "Sorry about that, I don't really think before I speak" I looked down as my cheeks burned.
"its okay Bella, I appreciate it. I'll be right back" he smiled before leaving the room. I silently cursed myself for even thinking that about my doctor, he had probably run off to call his mother to ask her when she'd be back because a crazy lady had just hit on him.
Edwards POV
I walked out the room barely able to wipe the grin off my face, Bella swan, a strangely confident yet shy woman, her big caramel brown eyes conveyed the embarrassment she felt for saying what she did.
"Have you got the results?" I asked Jessica as I slipped in the open door of nurse's office she occupied
"She's definitely pregnant" she squealed
"anything else I need to know about" I hadn't taken my eyes off of the floor the entire time not wanting any form of eye contact to occur
"perfectly healthy" she answered a little less enthusiastically.
I muttered my thanks and went back to the examination room I had left Bella in. I took a seat in front of her and smiled "Congratulations you're pregnant"
"Fantastic" the sarcasm was clear in her tone
"Un-congratulations?" I replied questioningly
"Un-thanks" she smiled a little
"are you okay?" I hadn't ever been this concerned about any patients feelings
"yes and no" she murmured looking down at her feet.
"I'm not therapist or anything and I don't mean to pry, but do you want to talk about it?" I knew I couldn't really afford the time but none of that mattered right now.
"I guess" she shrugged as she blushed more
"well, what's the problem?" I hadn't meant to sound blunt but I was curious
"I think its obvious I left my husband, but there's other problems too. I work at Billy's Pie Diner, not exactly a well paying job. I'm living at my friends place for the moment and now I'm pregnant." she sighed.
"do you regret leaving your husband?"
"no, he was such an amazing guy when I married him. We were so in love and then he changed, he became possessive, controlling all of those types of horrible things. Any trait of a 'bad husband' that someone might mention, he was all of that. The fact that I was pregnant kind of mad the decision for me, I couldn't stay with him and bring a child up in that environment" she smiled a little clearly proud of her own actions.
"That's a very good thing you did Bella, unselfish. Things will look up for you." I said reassuringly
"thanks I guess" she mumbled her blushing once again
"I'll see you in a month. But if you need any help for anything or just need to talk" I found one of my business cards on the desk and turned it over writing my cell phone number on it "don't hesitate to call this number" I held it out for her to take.
"Thank you Edward" she smiled and took the card from my hand
"its no problem. Take care of yourself" I got up walking toward the door "I'll leave you to get changed. The receptionist will have all the information ready for you" I stepped out the door and shut it behind me
"Lauren would you please get a pregnancy kit together for Ms Swan" I asked before walking to my small office across from the examination room, I opened the door and walked in looking at its contents as I took a seat behind my desk, framed medical certificates and a few photo's graced the left wall, the first picture was of Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Myself, the perfect little family, it had been taken at the opening of the office. The happiness was clear on all of our faces, they opened the practice a year after adopting Alice and I, they had been the ones to take us in as their foster children when no one else would, Alice and I had been best friends since we met.
Flashback
May 15th 1994 - Port Angeles Social Services Centre
"Hi my names Alice" she squealed excitedly as I entered the small social services office
"Hi I'm Edward" I smiled for the first time in a while
"we're going to be best friends" she giggled
"I'm sure" my nine year old self said before sitting down in one of the empty seats.
"Why are you here?" she asked timidly
"my mother had a car accident…" she nodded understandingly, I knew I didn't have to say it for her to understand "what about you?"
"My mother thought I was crazy…" she murmured quietly
"I'm sorry Alice. You're not crazy" I got up and went over to her wrapping an arm around her shoulders
"Thank you" she whispered
"You know what Alice?" I smiled
"what?"
"I think we will be best friends" I kissed the top of her small head.
Ever since that day Alice and I had met I had looked after her and when it came time to go to a foster home we were split up until we began to act up in our own separate ways, eventually they figured out what our problem was. We weren't together. They put us in various other foster homes but it never seemed to work out, they were losing hope on us when Carlisle and Esme settled in Forks. The rest you could say, is history.
The second picture was off myself and my real parents, Elizabeth and Edward Senior. My father had gone out one day and never come back leaving my mother to raise me, she had been a wonderful mother for time I had her, in some ways Esme reminded me of her, always so caring and trying to make sure Alice and I were provided for. The third picture was of myself and my fiancée Victoria, we had been dating since I met her in my second year of medical school, she was the woman I intended to spend the rest of my life with, my first love.
Flashback
September 12th 2002 - University of Washington
I walked into the cafe down the street from my campus, I made my way up to the counter smiling at the server. She had beautiful long curly copper hair, stunning blue eyes, her skin was slightly tan , her cheeks slightly pink with little freckles that made her look adorable.
"Hi…Could I please get a black coffee?" I asked staring at her
"sure." her cheeks were growing a darker shade of red
I smiled as she began to make the coffee "When did you start working here?"
"Oh I'm just filling in for a friend today" she said sounding confident , I nodded and took my note book out ripping a small piece of paper out of it.
"I'm Edward by the way"
"Victoria" she replied
"um, I don't do this normally, but this is my number" I wrote my name and number down as she placed the coffee on the counter in front of me "You don't have to take it or anything but I'd like it if you did." I placed it on the counter beside my coffee
"thanks" she stuffed it in her pocket quickly before handing the change to me.
I sighed as I remembered what I had just done, I had given a patient my personal cell phone number, I was surprised at how much I cared for this woman but giving her my number was unprofessional and what was I going to say to Victoria if she called whilst we were together. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone crying, I got up and peaked out my door trying to hear where it was coming from, it was closer then I had realised. I stepped out of my office and took a step to the exam room door opening it quietly, Bella was sitting on the end of the exam table with her knees to her chest as she sobbed into them. I stepped inside closing the door behind myself before wrapping my arms around her shoulders trying to soothe her "shh…it'll be okay Bella" I whispered rubbing her back lightly. She buried her head in my chest as she let go of her knees to wrap her arms around my waist.
"Edward?" the comfortable silence was broken by a familiar voice outside the exam room door
"Remember what I said" I whispered before I grudgingly let her go.
A/N: My updates might not be this long in the future but I will try. Let me know what you think. The reason Edward and Bella are already emotionally connected to each other is that, Instead of it being them having a physical affair it will be emotional. Alice is his adopted sister/best friend, Emmett is Rosalie's husband of course. Alice will introduced next chapter, but this was more of a starter where we see into the background of Edward and Bella. I was going to have Tania as Edwards fiancée but the more I thought about it the more I didn't like it. You guys don't really need to know the movie to understand this story. R&R Everyone!
