Sorry, it took me a while to write this because of all the homework I'm already getting. I've just started college again and it's a bit hectic atm.

Chapter 7 – Life Improved.

Charlie was out of hospital 1 week later – now happy and healthy again. Bella now called him every couple of days to make sure he was still ok. Apparently he has been going out a few times with a Sue Clearwater and they were getting a bit closer! Bella thought that was great because she always felt a bit guilty with leaving Charlie on his own in that house but also then because Sue could watch what Charlie ate now, to keep him from another heart attack.

Now 2 months later Edward and Bella's relationship had progressed ever since that night. Edward doesn't work as many shifts anymore, he tries and only works a couple of hours a day when Bellas at work. He admitted to her that when Charlie first came in to the hospital he started taking more shifts just to see her. They saw each other everyday, having breakfast and/or dinner together –Edward sometimes had to get to work early and Bella sometimes got caught up at the studio. For the past month they have been staying round each others apartments at night. Not bearing to be apart from each other longer then absolutely necessary, always waking up in each others arms.

Today Bella found herself doing a photo shoot for a family – a happily married couple with twins, a boy and a girl. It wasn't hard to see that they already looked picture perfect. The boy reminded Bella of Emmett with his dark curly hair. Then she remembered when she first introduced her brother to Edward about a month ago.

-Flashback-

Friday night Edward and Bella were walking back to Bella's place after they just had dinner at a restaurant a few blocks away. Edward had driven them in his sleek, shiny, silver Volvo. When they came out of the elevator at Bella's floor, Emmett and Rose were just coming from Alice and Jasper's apartment.

'Hey guys!' Bella said getting the attention of Emmett and Rose.

'Oh, hey Bella! We wondered when you'd be back.' Rose replied, looking at Edward.

'Hey sis!' Emmett shouted, and then seemed to notice Edward holding her hand. 'You must be Edward. I'm Em-' He offered his hand.

'Emmett. Bella's told me all about you guys.' Edward shook his hand. 'And you must be Rosalie.' He shook her hand too.

'Please call me Rose.' She said with a smile.

'Hey, weren't you our dads doctor?' Emmett asked.

'Yeah, I am.' Edward replied politely with a smile.

'I wondered where you looked familiar from. So, I hope you have a good excuse for bringing my sis back so late, Edward.' Emmett said icily.

'Emmett!' Bella and Rose hissed.

'No, it's fine.' Edward smiled. He was always polite. 'I'm sorry about the hour but I just couldn't tear myself away from her, she's too kind and caring for her own good. You have no idea how hard it was to look away from her beautiful eyes and bring her home.' He said while looking at Bella.

She blushed at his words.

'Well, I suppose that's a good enough excuse.' Emmett mumbled, 'It's just I'm her older brother, I worry about her.'

'Aww, thanks Em, but I'm fine, especially with Edward.' Bella hugged him

This seemed to convince him, and a huge grin appeared on his face.

'Can I call you Eddie? Ed? Edmund?' He asked hopefully.

'Err, no, Edward will do just fine thanks.' Edward chuckled.

'Come on Em, I think it's time to put you to bed.' Rose said, giggling.

They all said goodnight and Bella and Edward went into her apartment.

-End of Flashback-

Bella finished her photo shoot with the family and told them to go to the main desk where Rosalie would tell them all they need to know.

When Bella came out of the photography room a little while layer and went to the main reception area she saw the family laughing and talking to Rose. Next to them she saw the back of a tall, bronze haired man, who was talking to Alice.

Bella ran over to him and jumped on his back.

'Hello charmer' she whispered in his ear. He chuckled his luxurious chuckle.

'Hello beautiful.' He whispered back in a seductive voice.

Bella dropped to the floor and Edward turned around. They shared a passionate kiss. He pressed her up against his chest, so there were o gaps between them.

'Ah-hem! There are young children present, love birds!' Alice whispered

Bella and Edward broke apart and looked down at the two children staring up at them. Then they ran off giggling and started to play tag.

'I brought us all lunch.' Edward said with one arm still rapped around Bellas waist.

'Oooo! Did I hear lunch?' Emmett ran out from his office. They all laughed and ate. Recently Edward started to bring lunch to Bellas work for everyone, just so they could see each other more. He also picked up Jasper on his way over sometimes as well, depending on how busy Jasper was.

'You know, we should all go camping together!' Alice's voice rang out over all conversation.

'What?' Rose said.

'We should go on holiday together and we should go camping! It's been ages since any of us have been on holiday.' She had a point.

So they all agreed a date on when to go and where.

'I have to get back to the hospital.' Edward said with a sad tone.

'Ok,' Bella replied with a pout.

While Alice and Jasper said goodbye also, Bella walked Edward over to the door. Their kiss must have lasted about five minutes at least until Jasper said

'Come on Edward! We're gonna be late!'

With one last peck and a smile, they made their leave.
