BPOV:

"Bella," Edward called, today was Friday and school had gotten let out for a week for the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Yes, Edward?" I asked, walking into my room.

"I have to go hunting," he said. "The whole family is going, we should be back Monday."

"OK, but why are youall going?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"We need some 'Quality Family Time' as Carlisle calls it."

"When are you leaving?"

"Probably tomorrow morning." He replied.

I knew he would say that, he never likes to miss my amazingly entertaining sleep-talking.

"OK, then. Well I better go say goodnight to Charlie — be right back."

As I was walking out of my room I swear I heard him laugh.

"What the heck was that all about?" I wondered.

After telling Charlie goodnight, I walked back up the stairs and went into the bathroom to get a shower and brush my teeth. I put my pajamas on that I always kept in the bathroom cabinet. Finally, after making Edward wait for about thirty minutes, I walked back into my room, only to find Edward laying across my bed, eyes closed, with a smile on his face.

His beauty never ceased to amaze me. As I walked over to him, he quickly opened his eyes and sat up, giving me that indescribable crooked smile of his that I loved so much.

"H-hi." I greeted lamely.

He chuckled, and motioned for me to come sit with him. As I was walking over to my bed, I caught my foot on the bed post. Just before I hit the ground I was encircled in two snow-white, muscular, stone arms. "Thanks" I offered.

"You're welcome — what am I going to do with you, Bella?" he asked.

I smuggled a laugh and he quietly chortled next to me. He was so easily amused sometimes, which brought me back to earlier, what was he laughing about?

"Edward?" I asked.

"Yes, my love?"

"I was just wondering — what were you laughing at earlier?"

"Oh, that? Nothing really, just what Alice has planned for you when we get back."

"Joy, I can't wait." I said with heavy sarcasm dripping from my voice.

With that said, he looked at the alarm clock beside my bed on the nightstand.

"Looks like time for you to get your sleep."

"But I'm not tired." I retorted. "Oh?" he inquired.

"No, I'm not." But my eyes and mouth betrayed me. I yawned and my eyes were drooping closed.

"C'mon, let's get you to bed." He said. "'Kay." I agreed sleepily.

After tucking me in, he whispered, "Sweet dreams, my angel." As he slid on top of the covers next to me, I drifted off into unconsciousness.
