I don't own twilight

"No Crowley I don't want to hear it." I looked up at my officer. "This is the third time this week you've been late, and not just a few minutes late but over an hour late, none of your paperwork is done and don't pretend that you're not having Newton doing it for you every night. What do you have to say for yourself?" I stared him down waiting for his response knowing that it would be a crock of bull whatever it was.

"I woke up late you know how it is Cullen." I clenched my teeth.

"That isn't an excuse Crowley and this is your first warning you don't want to get to three believe me start showing your serious about being an officer or find another job."

You think you're so great youngest chief and everything but you're no better than I am." Crowley sneered.

Keep your temper in check. I reminded myself. "I take my job seriously and I suggest you do the same, now get to your desk and do this paperwork." I handed him a huge stack and watched him glare his way out of my office.

I returned my attention to my own paperwork. As I filled out the paperwork my mind wondered back to Bella, the girl I'd grown up but had never thought of as anything more than my best friend's baby sister. Until that night of her high school graduation when I saw this girl now blossomed into a woman. I'd never done anything about it she was my best friends sister. Her parents were like second parents to me. Yet here I was that kiss laying heavy on my mind and the words Jasper had said to me the night before laying right beside them I looked up at the clock on my laptop noticing it was going on lunch time I sat my pen down and stood up to stretch the kinks out of my back. I'd go and grab a sandwich from around the corner at the little family run deli. Clear my mind.

As I walked over the uneven sidewalk I dug my cellphone out of my pocket and scrolled through my contacts. Should I call Bella, Jasper, Emmett? I stared at the scrolling screen before deciding Jasper was my best bet.

"Hey man how's work?" Jasper's overtly chipper voice filled my ears. Maybe this wasn't a great idea after all.

"Ugg don't get me started."

"One of those days huh, so what are you calling me for?"

"Oh I just wanted to hear your lovely voice don't you know."

"Thought so," he laughed.

"No I just wanted to make sure Bella and Alice were ok."

"Yeah they're fine. I left them with Emmett at your place."

"Emmett, what was Emmett doing there?"

"Bringing hangover food."

"Oh good old Emmett."

"Yup."

"Anyway I'm at the Deli now so I'll talk to you later."

"Just be careful with her Ed, she was jumpy this morning."

"Noted Jazz." I said before disconnecting the call and slipping the phone back into my pocket. I walked through the doors. Getting in line I smiled at the matronly women behind the counter. "Hi Heidi."

"Hi Edward busy day at the precinct to day?"

"Not too bad, I think I'll take a turkey on rye with lettuce tomato and mustard please."

"Coming right up." She placed the order and I stepped into the pickup line thinking of what Jasper had said to me about Bella. She was worth it there was no doubt about that but what could I do to convince her that I was worth it. Worth all the sleepless nights and worry filled days.

"Cullen." Smiled at the young girl who handed me my sandwich.

"Thanks Bree." I said reading her plastic name tag.

"Anytime" she batted her teenage eyelashes at me and it took everything in me not to laugh as I just smiled lightly and moved out of the way to allow the next patron to pick up their lunch. I sat down at the back of the shop and watched people mill past the window.

My mind wondered to the summer nights when both the Swan and Cullen family would get together for family barbeques, I tried to conjure up pictures of a young Bella but at that moment I realized that I really hadn't paid that much attention to Bella she was six and a half years younger than me and as a kid that seems like a life time. I finished my lunch and after tossing the paper in the trash walked my way back towards the station.

"Where's Crowley?" I glared at his empty desk.

"Bathroom I think." Newton shrugged.

I started to ask how long he'd been gone when I noticed Crowley coming towards us. I gave him a look before heading towards my office. The morning was quite for the most part and I was able to leave by five. I walked into my apartment to see a very confusing sight Bella was jumping up and down on my couch Alice was sprawled out on the chair eating cheese whizz from the can and Emmett was sitting in the opposite chair flipping through the channels.

"What's going on?"

"Here Edward have some of these?" Bella jumped off the couch her feet hitting the floor she tried to shove a brownie in my face.

I gently took the confection from her, "these aren't "special" brownies are they?" I asked I mean that would explain the odd behavior I was witnessing.

"No, god do you think I'm that stupid to bring pot into the house of the Chief of police's apartment?" Bella stood their hands on hips glaring at me foot tapping it wouldn't have been so funny except she was giggling.

"I'm not sure, are you feeling all right?"

"I'm fine." She waved away my concern. "No these Brownies are just amazing Emmett put MM's in them."

I turned to my brother "MM's is that all that is in there?"

"Sure we'll go with that." Emmett smirked.

"Emmett Carlisle Cullen I really don't want to have to arrest you." I glared at my older brother.

"Oh calm down tight ass and have a brownie."

"The death of me you'll all be the death of me." I glared at him as I tossed the offending brownie in the trash. "Are there anymore?"

"The brownie the poor delicious Brownie." Bella was pouting.

"I wouldn't give them to you even if there were." Alice said licking the tip of the can.

"Yes thanks Alice and you can keep that can by the way, now the other brownies."

"Over there?" Bella pointed to a single brownie on a plate sitting on the counter.

"How many were there before that?"

"Originally about a dozen." Bella said licking chocolate off her finger it took ever thing in me not to watch her pert little tongue and focus on the drug laced Brownies.

"Do you have class tomorrow?" I asked the girls as I tossed the offending object in the trash.

"No, we missed class today though." Bella smiled.

"You are such a bad influence." I glared at Alice and Emmett.

"Whoa dad sorry." Alice rolled her eyes. Bella was bouncing on the couch her breast bouncing up and down and my eyes couldn't look away.

"Hey perv you're standing in front of the tv move." Emmett called out loudly forcing me to tear my eyes away from her delectable breast. I grabbed her up and grabbed her around the waist throwing her over my shoulder. "Remember what mom said about protection." Emmett called out behind us. I made sure I had a firm grasp on Bella before flipping Emmett off. I put Bella down on the bed.

"You should get some sleep."

"I'm not tired."

"Great sleep anyway." I flipped the lights off and shut the door going back into the living room.

"ooh Daddy's mad." Alice cackled.

"Oh sleep it off" I told her.

"You out ,and you're not welcome back until you can act like an adult."

"Aw man I'll never see you again." Emmett wined. I rolled my eyes as I shoved him out the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow no more brownies though"

"Whatever." He sighed before leaving. I sat on the couch and buried my head in my hands.

How do I always get myself into these situations I blame Emmett.

A/N thanks to everyone that reviewed next up we'll be back with Bella and we'll see how the brownies came about so anyway please review.
