It was raining. Emmett and Rosalie were, as usual, were bickering. It was a normal, green day in Forks. The only thing that was new was Emmett's new state of health. After several decades of living as a vampire and breathing, never, ever, had he had any trouble with that little habit of inhaling and exhaling.
That is, until now.
"Emmett, shut up!" snapped Rosalie for the fifty- seventh time in fifty-seven minutes.
"I'm hic-sorry" hiccupped Emmett. "I, unlike you, prefer to hic-breathe because it makes me feel human! Geez!"
"Well, at least I don't have to deal with freaking hiccups!" Rosalie glared.
Emmett glared back, but his ferocity was broken when he hiccupped, causing him to double over in laughing.
Rose frustratedly sighed. "Well, at least can you try to get rid of them? It's driving me insane!"
"'Kay, then what do hic-you suggest we-hic do?"
There was a silence, occasionally punctuated by random hiccups.
"I hic-know!" Emmett leapt off the cushy leather couch. "Let's call-hic Bella. I am sure she has-hic had these hic-things a lot more than I-hic have!"
Rosalie said, "I have to agree Emmett. For some reason, you're actually semi smart today instead of totally dumb."
Ignoring the sharp comment, Emmett picked up the phone and dialed Bella's number."
"Hello?"
"Hey Bella!"
"What's up?"
Emmett suddenly looked sheepish. "Er, well, this is going to sound stupid, but I need your help."
"Then spit it out already." Bella responded sounding slightly annoyed.
"I have the have the hic-hiccups. How do I get hic-rid of them?"
" Oh, don't worry. I know just the thing. Edward probably knows some stuff too.
We will be over will be over as fast as possible. This is a real crisis." Bella joked.
Emmett though, took it seriously. "Thank you so much! Oh, and hug Edward for me."
"Um, why?"
"He has a hic-Volvo. You'll be here faster than if you-hic drove."
Bella laughed. "Ok then. Bye Emmett."
" Bye Bella."
When Emmett then hung up, Rosalie went over and swiftly pulled him into a crushing embrace.
"She better be over soon. It's hard to kiss a guy who hiccups." Rosalie huffed, sounding half annoyed, half satisfied.
"Don't-hic worry. She'll be here-hic pronto."
"Hic."
