Edwards POV

I got in the car and turned on the radio to listen to some music. I don't really know why because for some reason I can't learn the words to any song. My whole family says something is wrong with me because of it but I just never have been able to do it. It's funny because I learned and remembered all the stuff medical wise but I can't remember four minutes worth of words to any song. When I pulled up into the parking lot I saw that I had a text from Emmett.

Hey Bro You OK? I'm here if you need me!-X's & O's Emmie

I always laugh at that damn signature. I bet he doesn't mess with his sister anymore though. He got what he deserved. I quickly text him a THANKS back then headed into the hospital. First person I saw was the one person I didn't want to.

"Hi Dr. Cullen. How are you this evening?" Lauren asked. I just smiled and said fine and kept walking. She has been trying to get in my pants for years but I was not and still not interested.

It was a couple of hours into my shift that I got a message from Bella.

E, going to bed. Wake me when you get home.-Belly

Belly, LOL Take mine. Sleep tight. Kiss my baby girl for me.-E

E, don't start with me on that damn name. Night, and Thanks. I changed the sheets on your bed. C ya later-Belly

I just laughed as I stuck my phone back into my coat pocket and walked to grab the next chart to finish my night. About three more hours and the next doctor came in so I knew I could go. When I walked out of the on call room Lauren was standing there waiting of course.

"Dr. Cullen, I was wondering if maybe you would like to join me for a late dinner." I cut her off before she could finish.

"Lauren, I don't date employees plus and I am married still." I said the last part and started walking away.

"Well from what I have heard you are getting a divorce so really your not married anymore. And if dating an employee is a problem I will just quit."

She said.

"Lauren, just leave before I report you. I am not in the mood for you childish ways." and I turned and walked off. Driving down the road I again found myself listening to the radio but not hearing the words. It was so weird but something I was totally used to. When I pulled up in the driveway I noticed all the lights off so I opened the door and got out. When I was unlocking the door I heard someone downstairs but when I opened it up the light was off down there and no one was there. I heard a faint singing coming from upstairs so I made my way to my baby's room to find Bella rocking Lexi in the chair, Lexi drinking her bottle. Both of my favorite girls under my roof. Whoa. I don't know where that came from. I have never felt that way about Bella. I mean yes I have fantasized about her before but who hasn't. She is beautiful and anyone can see that well everyone except Bella. Poor Emmett had such a hard time raising her trying to be her big brother and her protective father. But she never notices what anyone else sees.

"Goodnight Lex." Bella whispered as she put Lexi back down in her crib. She looked amazing holding my baby. I have never realized how much Bella really means to me until that instant. She was my best friend, my confident, and along with my baby girl, together, they were really all I needed in my world. Oh my god. I am in love with Bella. I can't deny the pull I feel for her but I know she doesn't feel the same way. She doesn't want someone with all this baggage. When she turned and gasped she pulled me from my thoughts to see she was wearing one of my t shirts and a pair of panties. When she walked past me she was grinning and grabbed my hand to lead me to my room.

"Come on. I know you are tired. It's been a pretty long and tiresome day for you. Get in the shower and go to bed. I am gonna change and head home once you are out of the shower." she said as she pushed me into the bathroom but before she could pull away I grabbed her face between my hands and I kissed her hard. It felt like my whole body was on fire when she was flush against me like she was. I could feel my dick getting hard and I know she could too with these scrubs on. I pushed her up against the wall and lifted her up by her thighs but I was met by a surprise when I did that. Her panties were soaking wet. I could feel the heat coming from her and I was now painfully harder than I have ever been in my life.

She started kissing up my neck and along my jaw. But she pulled back to look at me. "Mmmm…Edward…what are we doing?" she asked. Hell I wasn't sure. I just knew that I have ever wanted another woman that bad in my entire life like I wanted Bella. Forever. But I wasn't going to tell her that just yet.

"I don't know. What do you want to do? I want this. I really do and not just some get back at Tanya shit. Bella this is me and you. I want you. NOW." I said as I started kissing her neck and jaw. She was moaning my name and I almost came right then. I set her on the ground to pull her shirt off when she decided that mine should come off too. Then she did the unexpected. She untied my scrubs and pulled my dick out and started stroking me. And god did it feel good. So good. I reached for her panties and for her chin at the same time. I needed to know this was ok. She nodded and I proceeded to take them off. When she was completely exposed to me I grabbed her thighs and picked her back up. I looked at her one more time to make sure but this time instead of answering with a nod, she kissed me with so much force that I pushed her against the wall and fell against her as well. But that didn't stop us.

As I positioned myself at her entrance I thought about the one thing that I didn't have lying around right now. Condoms. Tanya and I hadn't been intimate for quite some time. Since before Lexi was born actually so I had none.

"Bella, baby, I don't have a condom." I told her but she just smiled.

"I'm on the pill and I know neither of us have anything so it's fine with me as long as you are ok with it." she said. With that I grinned and kissed her while thrusting myself into her hard. We both moaned at the feeling. She was so tight and I knew I wasn't going to last long.

"Oh God…Edward…fuck…that feels so good…ugh." she half moaned and half yelled out. I knew she was getting closed as I continued to thrust into her because I could feel her walls fluttering.

"Baby, you feel so good. Fuck…I'm close Bella, so close. Can you come for me baby. Come now." I said with authority and as the words left my mouth, hers formed a perfect "O" shape as she clenched down hard on me and yelled my name. That was my undoing.

"FUUUUCCCKKK BEEELLLLAAA!!!" I yelled out as I came hard spilling into her. Damn it this woman was something else. I stood there holding her with my forehead pressed against hers as we tried to catch our breaths. When we finally came down from our orgasms I set her on her feet and kissed her sweetly. She walked out of the room but came back with in two minutes, with the baby monitor.

"Now we both need a shower. So I figure why waste water." she said laughing. She was like her brother with the dirty mind. That I knew about her. Hell I know everything about her. She is my best friend. How cliché is it to fall in love with your best friend. I don't care though. I loved her and I was going to make her mine after what just happened. We took a thirty minute shower and got out to get dressed. She put her cloths back on, then I realized she was going home.

"Bella" I started as I pulled her into a hug. I kissed her forehead and said "Please stay with me tonight." then I gave her the famous "Cullen Pout" as she named it when we started high school.

"Ok" was all she said as she kissed my forehead. But then she walked out of the room. She made it out the door and stuck her head back in. "I am going to check on the baby. I will be back. Be in the bed when I get back. We have work to do tomorrow. Oh and text Em and tell him I am staying with you tonight so he doesn't worry." she said and walked down the hall. I grabbed my phone and started writing.

Em, Bella is staying here tonight. It's late and I just got home. She wanted me to let you know. Goodnight.-E

About three minutes and I got a reply.

E, ok tell her I love her. Goodnight. Thanks for taking care of her. I really appreciate it.-X's & O's Emmie

I put my phone on the nightstand as Bella made her way back into the room. I pulled the covers down and pulled her to my chest and cover us up.

"Em said goodnight and that he loved you." I told her as I kissed her hair.

"Kay. Night Edward. You know I love you right?" she said quietly. My heart soared at hearing those words come from her mouth. Even though hers meant something totally different from mine she still said it.

"I know, B, I know. You know I love you too, right." I said and she nodded as we both drifted off to sleep. I was in heaven right now.

Bella POV

I woke up the next morning from the best dream ever. That is until I was pulled back to the rock hard chest from my dream. It wasn't a dream and I slept with Edward. Oh god. What if he regrets it. I don't regret it, I just don't think it should have happened right now. God Alice is going to kill me if she finds out. But like I said I am not ashamed or do I regret what I had done. Edward is my best friend, my rock, and my go to person. We talk about everything and I just don't want this to mess that up. We are good together. I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard the baby crying on the monitor so I pulled myself away from him and headed to her room. But before I got there I heard talking coming from downstairs. So I crept to the top of them and listened.

"Bryan just shut up. Damn. I just came back to get the last of my things then I am out. We are going to Vegas and getting out of this hell hole. Ok. Bye." I heard Tanya say as she closed her phone. That's when she looked up and saw me. I turned on my heel and ran to Edwards room to wake him up.

"Edward, I think you need to get up. Like Now. Tanya is here." that's all I said and he was up and out of the bed in like two seconds. But neither of us made it very far before she entered the room. She looked pissed.

"YOU!" she said pointing at me. "All of this is your fault. Fuck I haven't even been gone twenty four hours and she is already here. But it doesn't matter. I expected it. Bella you can have his sorry ass." she said then she walked to the closet and pulled out a suitcase and threw the last of her things into it. She walked out not even bothering to see her child before she left.

"Umm…yea I am going to go. I will see ya later. Ok." I told him as I went to the bathroom to get my cloths. I didn't want to talk about last night and hear what a mistake it was.

"no Bella. don't leave yet. Please just stay and talk to me." he begged. But I couldn't. "I can't right now but I will call you later. Kiss Lex for me. Bye" and I walked out leaving him standing in his bedroom door. I heard him behind me a few seconds later but the sound stopped. He must have went for Lexi. She needed him right now. I pulled out of the driveway and headed to my house. I hoped no one was home so that I wouldn't have to face them right now. When I pulled into the driveway I noticed I had a text message.

B, I am so sorry. I didn't know she was coming. Please don't be mad and don't think this was a mistake because I don't regret it one bit. Call me later.-E

I just slipped my phone back into my pocket. I walked into the house to find it empty. I was glad. I needed time to think about everything that has happened in the last twenty four hours. At least he doesn't regret it. Maybe we will be okay. I just need some space right now. Then I will go over there and we can talk. I went to my bathroom and took a nice long shower but the whole time I was in the shower all I could think about was his hands on me and the way he made me feel. There was a lot of emotion behind all of his touches and he made me feel loved. Loved? That's a new one. I had never been with anyone who made me feel the way he does. When I got out of the shower I walked downstairs and put my ipod on the dock and turned it on. I sang to every song I had on there. This made me think of Edward and how he can't learn the words to any song. It's funny that he can play the piano but can't learn one word to a song. As I finished one of the last songs on that play list I decided to call Edward. I dialed his number but no one answered. But I really wanted to talk to him so I just jumped in my car and rode over to his place. When I got to his place there were about four other vehicles in the driveway. I noticed my brother's, Alice's, Carlise's and Jake's. What the hell. No one was going to tell me they were coming over here. I guess they figured I was already here but hell no one called me when they realized I wasn't. But I just let it go and walked up to the front door. I knocked and waited for someone to answer. The door flew open and there stood Edward with a bottle in his hand.

"Bella." he breathed. It felt good to be back in his presence.

"Hey sorry about this morning…I…um." but he cut me off when he pulled me into a hug. He held me tight just as I was holding him and then whispered into my ear "Bella. I'm glad you came back." and then he pulled away and pulled me into the house. Everyone greeted me with hugs and kisses. We all sat around laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole day. Later I got up and went into the kitchen to fix Lexi a cup. Edward said he wanted to try and get her started on the cups so I put milk in the cup and closed the door, when Alice came in behind me.

"Bella, can I ask you a question?" she said sitting down at the bar.

"Of course, Ali." I told her not bothering to look at her.

"You love him don't you?" she said and I just turned and looked at her for a second.

"Yes Alice. Edward is my best friend. Of course I love him." I told her turning my attention back the cup in my hand.

"I don't mean like that Bells. I mean LOVE, love him. I can see it. You're good for him and you know we all love you." she said just staring at me. I just nodded my head and fell to floor against the bar crying. She came over a wrapped her arms around me. I cried for about three minutes until I felt another pair arms around me too. I looked up to find Rose sitting on the floor next to us.

"I know Bella. You can tell. I think it is a great thing." she said with Alice nodding her head too.

"Guys. I am scared. He is still married even though she is gone plus we are just friends. That's all he sees me as." I told them letting more tears fall. I was helpless.

"Bells, just give him time. He feels the same way. We can tell but don't give up hope ok. Just be here for and with him. Ya'lls time will come. I promise."

I just nodded and got up. I followed them back into the living room to give the cup to Lexi. While I was playing with her every one got up to get ready to leave. We all said our goodbyes and Edward closed the door. He sat down beside and pulled me and Lexi into a hug. I felt good. It felt like I belonged there. After sitting on the couch for a little while I looked down to notice Lexi was asleep.

"Hey. I am going to go lay her in the bed. I'll be right back down." I said as I stood and started up the stairs. When I came back down he wasn't in the living room. I checked the kitchen but he wasn't there either. I turned to walk back into the front room when I noticed him sitting on the deck. I walked over to the fridge and got some beers before walked outside to join him. I walked out and sat with him in the chair. We sat for what seemed like forever when he sat up just a little and kissed my check.

"Come on Bells. It's getting cold. Let's go inside." then he pulled me up and into the house. We sat on the couch and turned the Tv on to watch CSI. Miami. I didn't get very far into the show because apparently I fell asleep. The next thing I knew I was being placed in the bed. I just rolled over and went back to sleep but not before I heard the words he said. " I love you Bella" and then I was gone.
