AN - Hey Guys! Here is the next part. It is quite long, hope that makes up for the lack of posting. It is rather fluffy, I found it a bit hard to write.
A huge big thank you to those who reviewed! - FlamesOfHostilityWitchChild, xXbeautifulIllusionsXx and Mrs. Edward B. Cullen, your support made this chapter happen. : )
Note - I do not own twilight, the characters, and of the book titles named in the story or anything else.
also - o - is just a paragraph break, I don't know how to make a paragraph, it always takes mine out : (

Rose, Jasper and I had been hunting for a while, it had been a really good trip, but I wanted to get back to Bella, it just felt so wrong not to be with her.
"Okay lets go home before I explode from all the emotions coming from Edward."
"I am ready to go when you guys are," Rosalie told us.
We set off home, as we were running I needed to ask Jasper something.
"Jazz, when we are at the mall tomorrow, could you please take Bella to a book store, I want to pick something up for her."
Sure thing Bro
As we were getting closer I could begin to hear Bella's heart beat, like it was calling me home.
Edward, Can you hear me yet? Edward! Hello? I could hear Alice calling me, that's odd. I could now see her standing on the deck waiting for us.
Edward, don't go upstairs yet, I need to tell you something.
Jasper pulled his wife in for a kiss, I walked inside to wait for her. Emmett was already carrying Rosalie up the stairs.
"Okay, now you have to promise, no matter what I say that you don't over react, everyone is safe and happy." That was never a good thing to hear, I began to worry, I felt Jasper calm me down, I gave him a smile.
"This evening we were playing Wii, and Bella managed to slip over while playing."
"What! Is she okay?" I began moving towards the stairs but Alice grabbed my arm.
"I told you she was fine! Now listen! She hit her wrist on the coffee table, Carlisle checked her over and said nothing was broken. She didn't want to go to the hospital so he iced it and he strapped it up. She really is fine just a little sore."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Because Bella asked us not too! She knows how you over react and wanted you to hunt properly so you wouldn't have to go again, so soon."
You have really got to stop freaking out over her, she doesn't like it at all.
"Thanks Ali," I gave her a hug.
"Can you think about what happened so I can see?" I winced when she fell, this was not good. While Emmett was comforting her, I could see that she was putting on her brave face and it was hurting more than she said it did.
I wasn't here to protect her! How could I let this happen? I had failed her.
Edward stop blaming yourself! It is not your fault, if you were here, it probably still would have happened. You are a good husband, Bella loves you and you love her! Stop hating on yourself!
"Again, thanks Ali," I gave her another hug and ran to see my wife. I still felt bad about what had happened though.
Oh and we are still going tomorrow. Have her up by 6.30…
- o -
I ran to the door of our room, I walked in as quietly as I could, I didn't want to disturb her. I walked over to her side of the bed and kneeled down in front of her. I stroked her cheek. Then I saw it, just poking out from under the covers was her wrist, strapped up. I could just see the swelling and the bruise forming on her skin. My wife, accident magnet. Only she could get this hurt playing a video game. I carefully kissed her hand and stoked her cheek again.
"Edward?" she reached out and hit her sore hand on my shoulder.
"Oww!" she must have forgotten about it.
"Bella, Bella Love I am right here."
She sat up and began to reach for the lamp switch. I caught her hand.
"I got it, Sweetheart." I turned on the light and she scrunched up her eyes to the light.
"Edward I hurt my hand." She sounded so sad and was cradling it in her lap.
"I know, I am so sorry it happened. Can I see it please?"
She held it out to me. I carefully held it and examined it properly. I gently kissed it and pushed it back to her. She look tired, she can't have been sleeping very well.
"I am going to get you another panadol."
I went to the bathroom and found her two pills. I poured her a glass of water and came back in. I held out the pills to her and she took them. I then passed her the glass. I put on my PJ pants and took my top off. I turned around and she choked on the water. I ran over and grabbed the glass and carefully patted her back while she coughed and spluttered.
"Are you alright?"
"I just saw my hot husband and choked on my water, nothing new" I laughed, she was ridiculous sometimes.
"We, well you really, have to get up early to leave for the trip, you need some sleep." I helped her back into bed, climbed in myself and leaned over to turn her lamp off. She curled into my chest and I hugged her to me.
"I love you, thanks for not over reacting," she kissed my chest.
"I love you, now sleep my love," I began to hum her lullaby. I listened as her breaths evened out and she fell asleep.
- o -
I was concentrating on Bella, I did not, or was not, going to let anything bad happen to her today. I could faintly hear Alice trying to be super quite to come wake up Bella, I didn't understand why we couldn't leave later, especially after last nights accident. Alice made into our room.
"Alice can't she sleep for longer?" I whispered to her.
No Edward, I want to get there early.
"Yes, but you don't need sleep like she does. Plus, the rain is really heavy, I doubt many people will be going out today."
Fine, but she has to be up and dressed at 7.15 okay?
"Thanks Al," I gave her a big smile.
Esme was making Bella breakfast, it was time for me to wake her up, if I didn't I am sure Alice would be in here and Bella would not appreciate it at all.
I kissed her forehead and as her eyes started to open I gave her a real kiss. This always woke her up. She reached up and put her hands behind my back and then she froze. I pulled back and searched her face.
"What is it!"
"Just forgot about my hand"
"Oh Bella. Can I see it?"
The swelling had gone down a little since yesterday but the bruising had gotten worse. I carefully gave her hand a kiss.
"What am I going to do with you?"
"It's really not that bad Edward."
"It is quite bad Bella, you know I don't like it at all when you are hurt. Stop trying to down play it. If it hurts at all today, you must let me know, no holding back anything from me."
"Okay, but only because I love you."
I would never get tired of hearing her say that. It made me the happiest man in the world, every single time. I couldn't help but grin, I kissed her again, and when I drew back I remembered why we stopped the first time.
"Alice has set clothes out on the couch for you, you have your human moment and get changed before Alice comes in here to do it herself."
"But I can think of much more fun things to do…"
I gave her a quick kiss. "I have already had to stop her from waking you up, I don't want to get on the wrong side of the Pixie"
She sighed, got up, grabbed her clothes and went into the shower. I quickly got changed and went to find more pain meds for Bella.
- o -
I opened the door for Bella and then ran to my side. We were taking our own car because that way if Bella wanted to leave early then we could. I started down the driveway, it was raining very heavily so I couldn't go as fast as usual, especially with Bella in the car, but I would still be going faster than most people on the road. Thank goodness Bella had finally got used to our speed, I would not love driving so slowly everywhere like I had to when we first started seeing each other.
"Can we have a code word, so if I really, really don't want to go to a certain shop or get sick of trying on clothes you will know and can come up with an excuse?"
"Sure thing, sounds like a plan. Hopefully Alice doesn't see us making this plan though."
"What's a good word? I already use hunger, thirst, tiredness and human moments…"
"How about, if you use the word turtle in a sentence. Like 'I am so tired, I am moving like a turtle, or I saw a turtle broach that was cute.' Do you think that would work?"
She giggled, "You crack me up Edward," I frowned. "Not because it's a silly idea, its just so random."
"Okay… But do you think it will work?"
"It should, fingers crossed."
I pulled our entwined fingers up and kissed each of her knuckles.
"So, you never told me why you didn't call me last night…" I trailed off. I wasn't mad with her, I just wanted to know why she would keep it from me.
"Because Edward," she huffed. "You always over react to these kinds of things. You would have raced home, even though I would have asked you to stay. Then you would have had to go and hunt again because you didn't properly last time."
"Plus, you would have fussed and what not over me."
"Bella, it's not fussing, it's me caring. You are my wife. It is my duty to care for you when you need it. It is my job to look after you and make you feel better. Please don't feel like you are a burden or you can do it own your own because its not like that. When I married you I promised to care for you for every day of my existence, I know you can do it on you own but you don't have to, because I love you." I looked into her eyes and showed all the emotions I was feeling. Her eyes began to pool with tears. She turned away and began to wipe at her eyes. I quickly pulled the car over and pulled her to my chest and held her.
BPOV
I wasn't crying because I was sad, well I couldn't actually name what I was feeling, maybe I should ask Jazz, but the things that Edward said to me made me feel extremely loved by him. I wasn't used to being cared for though, I had always been the one taking care of others, I still don't know how I feel about it though. When does Edward need me to look after him? It's not like he gets hurt all the time, he isn't going to come down with the flu or anything like that. I hope that when I am changed I will be able to do more for him.
I sat in his lap, curled into his chest. The tears had stopped but I was content in his arms, it was my favorite place to be.
"Sorry about that, I guess I am a little emotional right now."
"Please don't apologize my Love," he kissed me on the forehead.
"We should get going again before the other worry," I said while trying to move back to my own seat. He pulled me in close for another quick kiss before lifting me and putting my gentelly down on my seat, he then leaned over a clipped my seat belt in before I could even focus my eyes properly. He took my hand as usual, I reclined my seat a little and shut my eyes. I was tired. My wrist was awkward to sleep with because as soon as I moved it, it hurt. Plus Alice wanted us up early to go shopping; did she not realize that sleep was important to me?
I must have drifted off because Edward was now coaxing me awake. I smiled and opened my eyes. He got out and came around to my side to open the door, I don't try to fight it anymore, he has always done it and I am pretty sure he will do it for all of eternity. I smiled up at him as he put his hand on the small of my back.
"Where are we meeting everyone?" I asked
"I'm not sure, I shall ring Alice."
He got out his phone but it started ringing, trust Alice.
"Okay so we are meeting by the fountain in the middle. I know where it is."
I am glad he did, not that I doubted he would, because I had no idea. I had only been here twice, both for very short trips.
We were the last to arrive, it wasn't an issue though.
"Okay, now that we all here, let's start!" We all followed Alice towards a store I didn't even know the name of.
"Bella if you want anything just get it okay, you have your card. Please allow your self to get some things that you like and want." Edward was now worried that I wouldn't actually buy anything or spend any money.
"Okay," I simply replied. We had had this discussion too many times.
"Boys stuff is over their, ladies we are this way," Alice pointed out. Edward gave me a little squeeze and left with the boys.
"How are you feeling?" Esme asked me while grabbing my good hand.
"Fine Esme, how are you?" She looked a little surprised that I asked her, but wasn't it the polite thing to do, as well as I wanted to know.
"I am fine dear," she replied smiling at me. I smiled back.
We started looking at clothes, it wasn't long before Alice pulled me to the changing room with armfuls of clothes for me to try on and model for her. It took so long with the strapped hand hindering my every movement. It had been 40 minutes and I hadn't got to pick anything out for myself yet.
I huffed while I was trying on yet another dress.
"Why are you sighing?" Alice asked
"Because I haven't even had a chance to look at any clothes myself."
"Ohhh, sorry Bea, I didn't know you would want too. Go have a look now, I have already chosen what I want to get for you."
"Thanks Al"
I changed back into my clothes, and began to look around the store. I found a dress that I actually liked. It was a dress that looked like it was a skirt and a tank top but they were really joined. It had a white top part with a dark blue skirt. I tried it on and decided to get it. I was ready to go to another store so I went to the door to wait for everyone. Five minutes later Jasper, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle joined me to wait for the others.
"Did you find anything here sweetie?"
"I found a dress that I liked so I got that, Alice said she was getting stuff for me too so I don't know what I will end up with. What did you get?"
"I found a few tops and skirts as well as a very pretty dress."
"Can't wait to see the dress," I smiled at Esme.
Everyone was ready to go, we found a few more stores to go too. After a while though I was sick of clothes shopping.
"Hey Edward, did you see the top with the turtle on it?" He smiled at me, I held back a giggle.
"Yeah, it was odd, I didn't really like it."
We waited five minutes before Edward told Alice and Esme that he was taking me to get something to eat. Emmett and Jasper wanted to come too. They must have really wanted to leave if they were going to come to get human food with me.
- o -
After a hot chocolate and a muffin at a cute café we were on the move again. I couldn't get over how big this place was.
"So, where are we going?" I asked.
"Emmett, Jasper and I need new winter coats and jackets. I thought that you might want to get some too," Edward answered me.
Winter was a wee way off but I suppose the Cullen's, I mean we Cullen's, like to get on things early. Plus living in Forks meant rain and cold all the time. I wonder if Alice had got me any winter clothes?
"I suppose I can have a look around."
Edward simply smiled at me.
We made it to the shop they wanted to look at, I just wanted to sit down. I found a comfortable couch near the changing rooms.
"Are you alright Love?" Edward asked, he was worried because I had sat down.
"Yes of course, I just want to sit down for a while."
Edward gave me a chaste kiss and then started looking around the shop, I wonder how often they got to choose their own clothes, or did Alice and Rose buy everything for them? Emmett walked into the first changing room with an arm full of clothes. He came out a few minutes later with a huge, puffy jacket on. I couldn't hold back my laughter.
"Em, you look ridiculous! What size is that?"
Emmett was happy he had made me laugh. "I tried it on just for you Bells," he said with a wink and then turned back into his changing room. Edward and Jasper took the next two changing rooms. Jasper was holding back a laugh, it was infectious.
All three boys would all come out at the same time wearing the weirdest clothes. One time Edward had found a blazer that showed off his tummy, Jasper had found a military style jacket and had pointed out to me why is was not anything like a real military jacket. Emmett came out wearing a white faux fur coat that reached his knees and bug-eye sunglasses. After a while they ran out of funny clothes and tried on clothes that they had the intention of buying. Edward ended up with a two new coats one was black and one grey. Emmett got a black jacket and a black coat and Jasper got a dark green coat, a blue hoodie and a white jacket. Edward whispered to me that he was rebelling against the years of Alice dressing him. I wanted to see her reaction. The Boys paid up and then we left.
Jasper and Emmett left to go to the electronics store or something, Edward led me to a store that I could find some winter stuff in.
"Do you want me to call the girls?"
"No, I am happy here with you," he said with a smile. How many girls would kill to have Edward as their boyfriend? He wanted to come out shopping with his wife! Most would have to drag their husbands out with them.
I started looking around, I found a dark purple, knee length pea coat, a cute, red, trench coat, a grey burberry coat and a shorter black pea coat. I wanted to try them on.
"Are you going to come out and show me?" Edward called out.
"Really, you want to see?"
"Yes, isn't that what I am supposed to do?"
He had a point, I would have come out and showed Alice or any of the girls. I opened the door and showed him. He grinned at me, which made me blush. He held out his hand for mine. He then lifted it above my head and got me to do a little spin, which he also smiled at.
"I love it! Its so bright and cheerful!" He said.
I laughed at his enthusiasm, it was cute. I tried on the rest of the coats for him and he loved them all, I wasn't too sure of the purple one, I didn't own a lot of purple. I did notice that my grey and black coats matched the ones he just bought; it would be funny the day that we matched. I went to the register to pay for my new coats but Edward wanted to pay.
"But these are clothes for me, not you."
"Yes but you are my wife, I should provide for you."
"Edward," I simply stated, giving him my best stern look.
"Isabella. When ever we are out, you should never have to pay for a thing."
Him and his 1900's ways. I gave him another look as he paid for it. The sales lady was trying not to laugh and well as lusting after Edward. I went to grab the bag but he moved it so I couldn't get it.
"So I don't get to carry the bag either?"
"Nope."
"But you have your own bag to carry."
"I don't care, it's the way it is. Plus you have a sore hand Sweet heart."
I started walking towards the exit, Edward laughed at my childish behavior. He caught up and took my good hand. I leaned into him and he put his arm around me.
"Thank you" I whispered to him.
"You are welcome." He kissed the top of my head. "I just wish you wouldn't make a fuss about it, if I don't carry your bag or open your door for you it makes me feel a less of a man."
"What? Really?"
"Yes, of course, Bella I was raised this way. As a human I remember girls and women never carrying a thing; husbands, brothers, sons or even strangers would always carry a ladies things. It was far too rude not to."
"Wow, I didn't know it was that extreme."
"Right up to the 60's where it gradually became less common for men to show proper manners. Now are you ready for some lunch?"
"Sure thing."
Edward took me to another little café type place, it wasn't busy which was nice and they had super comfy chairs. Everyone meet us here, I thought it was odd as I was the only one eating. After a roll and orange juice my throat began to hurt again. I thought it had gotten better, I guess not.
"Bella, would you like to go to the book store with me?" Jasper shyly asked me.
"I would love to Jasper!" He smiled and I smiled back.
"Where are you going next Edward?"
"I think I might go to the music store and have a look around."
"Are you ready to go Bella?"
"Sure am," I gave Edward a chaste kiss and go up. Jasper offered me his arm.
- o -
I was so glad to be able to spend time with Jasper, after the whole birthday thing he had distanced himself from me, not surprisingly, but I had missed him. We had stopped in front of the huge bookstore.
"Bella, I wanted to properly apologize to you, I am truly sorry about what happened at your birthday last year, I will never let anything like it happen again," He looked at me with such sincerity.
"Thank you Jasper, but there isn't really a reason to apologize, I knew what the risks were, well are, that come with hanging out with you guys. I just want us to be close; I have missed my big brother."
He looked like he would be a bit teary if he could be. I gave him a hug, which he returned. I was glad we could be good friends.
"Is it difficult for you to be around me?"
"Honestly? Sometimes, but after you saved Edward and brought Alice home safe, I could never do anything to harm you. Having lived through the thought of losing you, what it would do to Edward, Alice, our whole family. No way. You mean to much for a mistake to happen."
I was speechless, and a little teary. He gave me a hug and helped me feel a bit happier.
"Shall we have a look around?" I smiled and nodded.
"Oh and this is my treat, anything you want, you can have." What was with the Cullens and buying me things? I had the card that Edward made me take everywhere; it was the same money for crying out loud! And yet they still insisted on buying everything!
"What's with the frustration?" Oh yeah, forgot about that.
"Well, just the way everyone is forever buying me things. Even though I have a card and if I bought it, it would come from the same account."
"Well I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but I wanted to buy your books and what ever else because I wanted to do something for you and spend time with you." Oh now he made me feel bad, I looked at my shoes.
"What's with the guilt Bella?" Darn!
"I am complaining when you are just trying to do something nice for me."
"Stop feeling guilty about it! I get enough of that hanging around Edward. Now, I think our new house is going to have a library so you and I can choose loads of books to fill it up with! Lets go find a new copies of Pride and Prejudice, Withering Heights, Romeo and Juliet and Emma to start with." I smiled, he knew how tatty my copies had got from being re-read over and over again. Once again he offered me his arm and we were off.
We found copies of all of our favorite books plus lots of new books that we wanted to read. I was sitting on the floor looking through The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time when Jasper came over and sat opposite me.
"So Jazz, where are we actually moving too? No one ever filled me in."
"Really? Edward didn't tell you? I suppose you have only been back for a week. We are moving to Hanover in New Hampshire so that you can go to Dartmouth if you want to."
"You are all moving for me?"
"We were going to have to move anyway, Carlisle does not look 33. Plus we get to all enroll in college instead of high school, thank goodness."
"Are we buying a house?"
"We already own one over there, it is getting redone soon, Esme wants a huge kitchen so she can cook more, now she has you as an excuse. I think it is like the one we are in now but a bit different"
"So when are we moving?"
"Well before the college year starts, to still giving us time to move and settle in. So probably the end of September-ish."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"If Alice pays for something and refuses to let you pay for it, how do you feel?"
"Umm, it's not a big deal for me, she is always buying things but if we are going out I generally will. I get the feeling you referring to Edward?"
"Well yes, he said that when I try to pay for things it makes him feel like he is being rude and less of a man." Jasper chuckled.
"He had been trying to hide it from you for so long but I guess his frustration won and he told you. It's not that he doesn't think that you can't do it your self but he sees it as his job, as your husband. I think it is his way of showing that he loves you and can provide for you, the same when he buys you gifts for you."
"So why doesn't Emmett do that with Rose?"
"Because Edward has held onto his ways through out the times, Emmett wasn't like that to begin with plus he is happy to go with the current times. Not to say that he doesn't like to buy things for Rose."
"What about Carlisle and Esme?"
"Carlisle is the same as Edward, but Esme is used to it now that you don't notice it. He gave her an island as a gift remember." I do remember, I hope he doesn't want to buy me an island any time soon.
"So, Edward is just really old fashioned?"
"I thought you already knew that."
"Yes, but I don't know all the rules for manners from the 1900's, I thought it was just doors and stuff like that." Jasper shook his head.
"Nope, way more."
"I am the only one in the family who was born after the women's rights and the fall of chivalry. Not Fair" This made Jasper burst into laughter. I went back to looking at books.
- o -
"There is a little coffee place upstairs, would you like a hot chocolate?"
"Yes please!"
Jasper helped me up and took the books we were going to buy, I was left with three books to carry. We sat down at a table. Jasper had stacked up the books into towers.
"What would you like?"
"Um, a hot chocolate and a cookie please."
"Sure thing." He went and ordered my drink and snack. I like spending time with Jasper; we both love literature and were quite quiet people. He was easy to be around. Jasper came back and sat down.
"What are you thinking about that's got you all cheerful?"
"How I like spending time with you, and how we are quite similar."
"I was thinking the same thing Bella."
"I think you are the only one who doesn't have a nickname for me." I thought aloud.
"What does everyone else call you?"
"Edward usually calls me a pet name or Isabella, Alice has started calling me Bea or Belle, Emmett calls me Bellsy, Squirt, or Lil Sis, Esme calls me sweetie or something like that. Actually Carlisle does call me Bella. Rosalie doesn't really use my name, if she talks to me she just does."
"Hmmm, seems like you have a lot of nicknames now."
"Yep, I had only ever been called Bella, or sometimes Bells by Charlie but as soon as I came to Forks everything changed."
My drink was ready so I got up to get it, but I couldn't carry it and the cookies at the same time. I took the plate to our table and then went back to get my drink.
"You are an odd one. You could have just asked me to help you."
"It's okay, everything is here now."
I started to drink my hot chocolate, it was good. Jasper picked up one of his books.
"Why did we get all this now when we are just going to have to move it to the other side of the country?"
"Because we get to hang out and it isn't a big deal to get things shipped."
I smiled at him.
"Oh, I think our alone time is over." He sounded rather sad.
"Well it won't be the last time."
Just as I was saying that Emmett sat down beside me. Everyone else was making their way over to us.
"Hey Squirt! How has the book store been?" Emmett said the word 'book' with such distaste.
"I have had a wonderful time here, with Jasper. We still need to pay for all our books Jazz"
"I got it remember. Em, can you give me hand carrying these."
"How many books do we need? Really you guys."
I laughed at Emmett's comments.
"So you had a good time, Love?"
"Of course, Jasper and I had loads of fun picking out books and talking."
"How are you feeling?"
"Fine, my hand isn't very sore, just I keep forgetting about it and knocking it on stuff which hurts."
"Here," Edward handed me two pills. I was going to argue that I didn't need them but I couldn't be bothered, he wanted to feel like he was caring for me. I took them with my hot chocolate. I finished my cookies and drink.
"Did you find some stuff?" I asked Edward.
"Sure did."
"Is it time to go home yet?" I was ready to be back home, no more shopping please!
"I just want to take you to one more store Belle." Alice answered.
I groaned.
"You will like this one!"
"Carlisle and I are going to help Jasper and Emmett with the bags and take them down to the cars, when you are ready to leave just meet us down there." Edward gave me a kiss and Alice started tugging on my arm.
Turns out Alice was taking Esme, Rose and I to Victoria's Secret. And like usual she was right, I was excited to go here but didn't want to spend to long as I was tired.
"What colours do you like Belle?" Alice asked me.
"Umm, blues and black. Maybe pink too?"
I found a cute light pink lacey dress and a dark blue bra and matching knickers. I tried them on plus the things that Alice kept throwing over the changing room door. I paid for my four sets and was ready to go. Esme came and waited with me.
"How was your day?" she asked
"Really quite good, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I liked hanging out with Jasper, I usually don't get too."
"I thought you would both like that."
"How was your day?"
"Fine, I found lots of things I like which is always good."
"Esme, is our next house going to have a library?"
"I hope so, I need to move a wall or two though, shouldn't be to much trouble. You will like the next house. Would you like to help decorate Edward's and your room?"
"Sure"
Alice and Rose walked over to us, ready to go.
EPOV
I could hear the girls making their way over to the cars. I began walking over to them. Bella smiled when she saw me. I gave her a hug and kiss, then took her bags and put my hand around her waist as we walked to the cars. I opened the car door for her and she went stiff. I really hoped she wasn't going to argue about this again
"Aaa-chooo." She sneezed.
"Bella, Love are you alright?" she nodded and was about to get in the car when she sneezed again.
"Aaa-choo… Aaa-chooo." I quickly reached into the glove box and got her a tissue. She turned around and blew her nose. Why, I do not know, I wasn't going to catch anything. She turned back around and I put my hand to her forehead.
"Are you feeling alright?"
"Edward, it was just a sneeze or two, I must have breathed in something."
She didn't feel any warmer to me. I helped her into the car, waited for her to get settled and then ran around and got in. I looked at her, checking to see if she looked any paler or flushed. Nope she just looked the same. Now she looked a little annoyed.
"Can we just go home Edward?"
"Of Course My Love." I took her hand and we left for home.
There is Chapter three! I tried not to make it to cliché, with Alice going OTT and what not. Did you like Jasper and Bella bonding?
Please let me know what you thought of this chapter (or the story)
A tissue is what I think some people call a Kleenex. (Which is actually a brand of tissues here)
Thank you for reading.
