EPOV

I leaned against the nurse's station finishing my last chart for the night. A seven-hour surgery for a six-year-old boy that fell out of a tree. Since we had Ness, cases like these tore at me. If it were her brought in I wouldn't know what to do. All those years in med school might as well be erased.

"So I hear you put in for a vacation," Dad said clasping my shoulder as he pulled out his chart next to me.

"Bella's ten year reunion is in a couple weeks, we're going to Forks," I explain.

I knew I was dragging her kicking and screaming, but how bad could a little town be. Emmett and I grew up here in the city and I had always been curious as to what it would be like to be somewhere quiet. Plus this trip could bring closure for Bella.

I only knew things from bits and pieces Renee and Charlie would tell me. She would come home in tears, argue about having to go to school and even tried begging Renee to let her move in with them. Renee said she would have let her do it if it wasn't for Phil's traveling schedule.

"You three are going to Washington?" Carlisle asked surprised.

"Yeah it gives Ness and I a chance to see where Bella grew up."

"And Bella's okay with this?"

"Yeah dad." Barely.

I was quiet finishing the rest of my work before I had to go home to my girls.

"Have you talked to your brother lately?"

"You know we talk everyday," I said rolling my eyes.

"Then you are aware your mother set him up with Mrs. Werrington's daughter."

"Dad you are asking the wrong person, Em called Bella to complain about it, not me. He was practically begging her to set him up with a single mother of one of her and was asking after students if any of Ness's friends had hot moms. You and mom need to leave him alone."

"It's your mother not me. Eventually Emmett will find someone but you know how she worries."

"Yeah," I said softly.

My mother always meant well. She could be overbearing, but that was her nature. When we were four-years-old one night, dad was on-call at the hospital and we were at home with mom. She put Em and I on their bed to watch a movie while she went to take a shower. We heard her fall and the scream. At the time, Emmett was obsessed with fire fighters and police he knew to call 9-1-1. I remembered trying to help her, fix her. My mother the woman who played with us and carried us around was confined to a wheel chair for the rest of her life.

The amount of damage from the slip in the shower was irreparable, but she never once let that disable her. That was one of the defining reasons I became a neurologist.

"You should take Nessa to see her she would like that."

"I know Ness would love it, mom spoils her," I laughed placing my chart in the holder.

"She's our only grandchild we're allowed to do that," he defended.

"Yeah sure," I snorted. "See you later dad, give mom a hug from me."

"Send my love to the girls," he smiled.

It was around eleven by the time I made it home. Lights were off as I slipped in entering in my security code. I made my way upstairs stopping at Ness's room first. She was cuddled under her bright blue covers. I saw an ear bud in her ear and shook my head. The cord trailed under her pillow where her iPod laid. A telltale sign Bella had no clue that she had it.

I carefully took the ear bud out placing it in my ear and cringing when I heard New Kids on the Block; Bella definitely had her hands on this. Ness insisted on listening to the Jonas Brothers, but Bella would try to dissuade her. The truth was they both needed coaching in the music department.

"I love you, Ness," I said placing a kiss on her head.

I left Ness's room and headed to mine. I saw Bella's bare shoulder and smiled. I was disappointed to see she had a shirt on with the neck hanging of her shoulder. I brushed her hair back and kissed her creamy skin.

The more I saw of her face the more I realized she had been crying. Her face was red and blotchy where it would have normally been freckled. I could have left it alone and waited until in the morning but right now I wanted to know what was wrong.

"Bella," I said gently.

"Hmm," she sniffled.

"Why were you crying?" I whispered capturing her lips with mine.

When I pulled away she blinked the tears back and brought her hand to my cheek.

"Ness said she hated me," she whispered.

"That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it?" she frowned

"Ness will be saying she hates us until she moves out you know she doesn't mean it."

"Oh she meant it."

"You work with kids all day, babe. They all pick that up from one another. Ness probably heard it from someone in her class."

"I knew she should have been home schooled," she mumbled moving away from me.

"Are you pregnant?" I blurted out.

She turned around looking at me with wide eyes.

"No…" she sputtered. "I had… we couldn't… last week remember?"

"Right," I nodded watching her as she started playing with the collar of my shirt.

"You think I'm overly emotional," she said wiping at her eyes.

"I didn't say that," I soothed. "You've been acting off since you got that letter."

"I'm sorry," she pouted looking down.

For a minute, I felt like I was looking at Ness. The same look she gave when we would scold her.

"This could be good for you. If you face all those people, show them how beautiful and brilliant you are now they'll feel insignificant," I teased.

I got a half-assed attempt at a smile. So I decided to show her what I thought.

I threw one leg over her body to straddle her, leaning forward to kiss her neck tenderly. She moaned as one hand came to slide down her neck onto her breast. I tugged gently on the hem of her shirt so she knew I wanted it off. She helped me rid her of her shirt and shorts leaving her completely exposed to me.

I kissed the newly revealed skin every few moments. I looked her entire body over with the eyes of a starved man. I loved her like this.

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" I whispered, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I have to be the luckiest man in the world to have found you..." One of my hands found her breast again, and she sucked in a sharp breath as her nipple hardened under my touch. "I'm going to show you how beautiful you are tonight, my Bella..." My tongue trailed down her neck to where my hand laid on her breast. I stopped just short of the hardened nub I was playing with, and she shifted beneath my touch, looking for more contact.

My tongue found her nipple, and I sucked it into my mouth. Her eyes fluttered closed and her breathing picked up. She was the most exquisite thing on this earth. I let my mouth move to her other breast, proceeding to kiss every inch of flesh I could find before mirroring my ministrations from the other side.

She rolled on top of me and moaned into my mouth as I pressed my length against her, straining against my scrubs. She broke away from the kiss. Staring into my eyes, I could see hunger and desire. "Edward," she purred her voice thick with lust. I wanted her and I wanted her now. "Please... just please."

Without a word, I rolled her onto her back again and pulled my scrub pants off. My cock was rock-hard and as she wrapped her hand around me, I almost blew my load. My eyes squeezed shut as I moaned, chewing my lower lip. "You have no idea how good that feels, babe."

"You always make me feel good, Edward," she whispered, lying back pulling me toward her. I opened my eyes meeting hers. The love they held matched mine.

She groaned as I pressed the tip of my cock against her entrance. I sucked in another deep breath before pushing forward. Like always, we fit perfectly. This woman was made for me.

"God, Bella," I moaned. "I love you." I gritted out setting a steady rhythm, a moan escaping from between her lips every few thrusts.

"I love you," she panted as I picked the pace up. I hitched her leg up, hitting her on a new angle, and when she squealed I knew she liked it.

"Love, you need to keep it down."

She listened because there were only moans and pants breaking through the night air. Suddenly, I felt her tighten around me, and I knew it wouldn't be long. "Edward, don't ever stop… Please never stop," she cried out, her nails scraping against my skin. I was close too, but I wanted to come with her. I wanted to fall over the edge with her. I pulled her closer to me, pushing my hips down as she met my thrusts.

I spilled into her as she screamed my name. I was only vaguely aware of what happened after trying to regain all thought. I pulled out of her keeping her in my arms. Getting lost in Bella wasn't hard to do. I wanted her to see what I thought of her. No one should have ever had the right to make her feel insecure and I knew I would change this trip for my girl.

I was woken to my scrub pants hitting my face. "Huh?" I groaned

"I hear Ness moving around," she smiled giving me a quick kiss.

"You never told me why she hated you," I said slipping my pants on.

"I took away her iPod," she sighed.

"You mean this iPod?" I asked pulling it out of my pocket, waving the bright blue contraption. "The one she was listening to when I checked on her last night."

"That little sneak," she said more to herself.

"We need to switch up our hiding spots she's catching on," I suggested placing it in Bella's hand.

"Mmhm," she mused.

"Did you have any plans for today?"

"Lounging around the house and that's about it."

"Would you want to go visit mom for a bit? Dad brought…" I started, but her fingers covered my lips stopping me.

"I love visiting with Esme," she smiled warmly.

Thanksgiving break about a month after Bella and I started dating I took her home. I don't know what my mom made a bigger deal over; that I was bringing a girl home for the first time or that I was bringing a girl home for a major holiday.

It only took a month and I was just lost in the girl. Emmett could not shut up about her I heard all about how a Police Chief from Washington almost kicked his ass.

"You shouldn't have said you were her roommate," I said flipping through my anatomy book.

"Man, she was a cutie probably why daddy dearest wanted to shoot me."

"Why don't you ask her out?" I suggested looking up from my book earning a face from my brother.

"She's sister material besides I think you would kind of dig her," he shrugged.

"Riiight," I snorted.

I never stayed in a relationship more than a couple weeks.

"Daddy you see my iPod?" Ness asked running into our room.

"No, but didn't Mom take that off you?" I countered nodding towards Bella.

"Oh yeah I forgots," she said looking slightly frazzled. She thinks she lost it and if we find out it isn't where her mom put it she'll be in trouble. "Mommy I love you not hate," she said quickly wrapping her arms around her.

"I love you too baby."

"I gots to go find… something," Ness said rushing out the room.

"You're evil," Bella said standing between my legs letting her fingers scratch the back of my head. "I like it."

"She's learning a lesson," I grinned letting my hands rest on the curve of her ass.

"I'm going to get a shower and get Ness ready then we can leave for your mom's house."

"Sounds like a plan," I said letting my face rest against her chest.

"You're so pervy," she giggled lightly pushing my face away.

She kissed me before heading to the bathroom.

"She's perfect for you," Mom said rolling away from the kitchen isle.

"It's still new," I shrugged.

"Well I know you two will be like your father and I."

I could only hope.

"I think you should get Emmett a thank you gift for introducing you," she rambled.

Technically he didn't introduce us and I wasn't about to tell her Bella and I made out within minutes of meeting each other, might change her opinion.

"Hi, do you need any help in here Esme?" Bella asked shuffling into the room.

"Actually would you mind helping me carry all this into the dining room?"

"Sure no problem," she smiled.

Mom stacked the casserole dish and placed it in her lap before wheeling into the dining room. Bella and I were left to carry the remaining dishes.

"Your mom is really amazing."

"She is," I grinned taking her free hand in mine.

"I can't find it," Ness huffed as I passed her room.

"Find what?"

"Nuthin'," she mumbled.

I walked into my room grabbing her iPod before going back to her room.

"This is what you're looking for?" I asked showing it to her.

She instantly looked guilty.

"Next time your mom and I say no to something you listen, understand?"

She nodded solemnly.

"This is mine for the next few days. You'll get it back when your attitude changes."

"Daddy," she whispered.

"Nessa you didn't listen so I don't want to hear it," I warned.

I walked out into the hall noticing the bathroom door open. Bella's towel was wrapped around her hugging her frame.

"Now she hates you," she said matter-of-factly.

"I'm fine with that," I shrugged kissing her deeply.

"I have to get dressed," she said pressing her hand lightly on my chest.

I watched her move around me and couldn't stop the smile that lit up my face. It would be a smile I would have the rest on my life.
