Something Special

Chapter 2 – Conversing Limits

Edward walked across the hallway to Bella's room, knocking on the door quietly. He knew she probably wouldn't be happy with him going into her room at 1am but he needed to talk to her because there was no way he would sleep with this on his mind. It was too much for him to keep to himself when he knew it could help cheer his best friend up and if that meant doing this then he would.

"Bella?" Edward walked in after not getting any response like he expected, knowing she must have been asleep and smiled when he saw her curled up in one of his shirts that he had been looking for recently. "Now I know where half my clothes disappear too for weeks upon end." He mumbled to himself as he slipped into her bed next to her and wrapped his arms around her causing her to stir but snuggle closer knowing exactly who it was. The two would often fall asleep with the other because they were so comfortable being like that.

"What do you want Cullen?" Bella tiredly asked as he kissed the top of her head like he always did if he woke her up.

"I have a solution about how we could figure out your problem." Bella opened her one eye and looked at him suspiciously. Bella knew he was up to something from the look on his face.

"How did you figure that out?" Bella asked as she let out a yawn. "It is something good isn't it because I don't particularly like being woke up at," she turned and looked at her clock, "1am. 1am?!" Edward smirked. "Cullen, hurry up and speak before I kick you out of my bed." Edward couldn't help but laugh at her knowing how annoyed she was he had woke her up.

"Fine I'll be quick. Trust me I don't really want to be here much longer than I have to because being in bed with you is too weird." Bella slapped his chest playfully. "Fine beat me up, I just won't tell you. Oh and can you please tell me when you take my shirts because I spend ages looking around for them confused when it turns out you have them."Edward teased. Bella being fully awake now rolled her eyes.

"Edward, tell me right now what you wanted because otherwise in a few hours you will be dead." Bella warned poking his bare chest as she breathed in his scent. He may be her best friend but she couldn't deny he had a hot body.

"Fine. You know how earlier you were going on again about giving up hopes of ever being a mom?"

"Edward is this really necessary to be talking about at this hour?" Edward hushed her.

"Stay quiet and just hear me out." She nodded as he took a deep breath. "How would you feel if you and I had a baby?" Bella's jaw dropped as Edward looked at her waiting for something to go on. "I know it's probably really farfetched but I mean it makes sense, we're both single and don't see ourselves settling down anytime soon. Both you and I know you are ready to have a baby and you know I have always wanted kids one day but from the look of things right now I'm not so sure that will happen. You can say no and I would completely understand and I really hope I haven't ruined all the years of friendship between us over a silly suggestion. I mean it's not even that good when I think about it because you and I probably isn't a good combination and now I'm rambling." The shock on Bella's face before had now been replaced with an amused look. "What?"

"Edward you really are funny when you ramble." Edward gave her a look as if begging for her to say something. "What you offered to do is really sweet but do you really think it would work? Maybe in a dream world it would work but you and me having a baby right now I'm not sure Edward. A baby is a lot of responsibility and hard work and I'm not sure our relationship as it is could take it no matter how strong it is." Edward nodded. "Thank you for offering but I think we have to just wait and see what happens. You couldn't ruin our friendship even if you tried because I wouldn't let you. Besides you do know that if you and I were to have a baby that would mean we would have to ... you know and that is just repulsive." Edward laughed.

"Sorry I may love you like a best friend but no matter how sexy you may be, being anything more with you would just be wrong." Edward wrapped his arms tightly around her as she moved into him more. "I promise you Bella, one day you will be a mom and you will have the perfect family even if you have to wait a few years to find your Mr. Perfect."

"What about you?"

" I don't think I will ever find my perfect match since it's not easy dating anyone anymore because I have no idea why they are with me, for love or for fame so I think being single is just the way it'll be for me." Bella smiled hearing the doubt in Edward's voice since she knew the last few girlfriends he had had were with him just for his money and fame.

"Don't rule it out as a definite no though just yet." Bella whispered before she fell asleep with Edward soon following.

The next morning, Edward woke up first and slid himself out of Bella's bed before going to shower knowing he had practice this morning while Friday's were Bella's days off. After jumping out his shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked into his room only to see Bella in his bed.

"Yes?" He asked as she looked up at him.

"Can you pick up some more chocolate chip ice cream on your way home from practice because I wanted some for breakfast and I forgot we finished the last tub the other night when we were watching the movie?" Edward rolled his eyes.

"Anything else?"

"Bring back any single hot guys on your team you know I will like." Bella smirked.

"You get over guys quick." Edward observed.

"I decided you are right that I shouldn't waste my time over that loser. I have to move on." Edward smiled as she stood up.

"Come here." Bella walked into his open arms not caring that his was wet or anything as she let him hold her. "You are doing so well and I promise I'll bring you back your ice cream but first get out so I can get dressed." She laughed as she kissed his cheek and left the room Edward knowing that the conversation last night most definitely hadn't changed a thing between them.
