Oh Crap. You guys- I am SO SORRY for taking so long to update. After we moved, my computer didn't get unpacked for a loong time, and then we unpacked it to find out it was broken :( I know, that's no excuse. But the good news is I'll be updating more frequently. I've got my very own shiny new laptop. :)

Ok, enough rambling… enjoy


My heart was in overdrive, I realized I wasn't breathing and I took a few shallow gasps. Meanwhile, Edward was freaking out.

"I don't expect you to say anything Bella, I just-"

I cut him off.

"Edward, I have no idea what my life would be like without you… Well actually, I wouldn't be alive" I said with a smirk.

"Really though," I continued, "When I found out I was sick, I gave up on any chance at a good life. Hell, I'd pretty much given up on any chance at an amateur life. But then I met you, and you have no idea how happy I am that I did. It makes me anxious to be away from you, and we both know what happens when I try to stay away from you"

Edward's face grew rigid and his whole body stiffened. I took his hand and waited for him to relax before I continued.

"You've made the pain go away Edward, just by being with me you've made the pain go away. I love you so much. When the doctor diagnosed me, it was like my spirit died. I was robotic and void of any feelings, but then I moved to Forks, and you brought out so many emotions. Anger when I first met you, then the confusion of how I felt about you, than the unbearable pain of missing you. And now, I feel the happiest I have ever been, even before I was sick. You've brought me out of my despair, Edward, I'm finally awake."

Edward just looked at me, then he took me gently into his arms and held me. We stayed there for a while like that, breathing in each other's scents until Edward stiffened.

"Bella, I need to bring you back, I haven't been- uh, hunting in a while and I really need to go." He said, watching my face warily for a reaction.

"No problem Edward, I'll probably just chill out it my room and read." I said.

"Oh you won't be all alone Bella" Edward said, smirking, "You see, Emmet has been begging me for a chance to spend some brother/sister bonding time with you ever since he met you, and since he went hunting yesterday, I think now is a good opportunity for that"

"Actually, I'd like that" I said, smiling.

"Perfect" Edward beamed, and then he picked me up, gently of course, and ran home.


Emmet was waiting at the door when we got back.

"Alice told me!" He bellowed, grinning like a three year old. "We are gonna have so much fun squirt!"

"Emmet-" Edward growled.

"Chillax Eddie, I'll be careful" Emmet said with a smirk.

"You better be, because if I come back to find one hair on her head out of place, I will not hesitate to castrate you" Edward growled. "Now can Bella and I have a bit of privacy before I leave"

"Sure thaaang sweet cheeks" Emmet said, then he turned to me and started walking backwards into the house, "You, me, living room, one minute or I'm coming to get you Belly"

I turned to Edward as Emmet disappeared into the house and smiled, "Well we only have one minute before I'm forcibly removed from you" I said with a wink.

" 'Parting is such sweet sorrow'" Edward quoted as he enveloped me into a hug. "You have no idea how hard it is for me to leave you"

"I think I have an inkling" I said, "I'll miss you"

"I'll be here when you wake up" He whispered into my hair, and then he was gone.

I turned around just in time to see an Emmet-sized blur come rushing towards me, then I felt my feet come out from under me and I screamed before I realized that I was in Emmet's arms. He looked down at me and grinned.

"You were taking too long" He explained as he ran me, vampire speed, inside.

I wasn't interested in his explanation, I was just trying not to puke all over him. Please, please, please don't let me puke on him I thought.

Suddenly, the spinning stopped and I was sitting on the couch, with Emmet standing in front of me. I quickly put my head between my knees.

"Ohhh my godd" I moaned.

"What?! What's wrong Bella?" Emmet asked, urgently.

"You can't just do that to me, Em," I said "I'm not in the best of shape right now"

"Oh gosh Belly!" Emmet said, "I'm so sorry I forgot!"

"It's OK Emmet, don't worry about it"

"I really am sorry Bella" Emmet said as he sat down on the couch next to me.

The nausea had passed, so I looked up at him. He looked really worried.

"I know Emmet, seriously- I'm fine, see ?" I said as I stood up, then fell back onto the couch.

"Really?" Emmet asked, "Because I'm pretty sure if you were 'fine' you'd be able to stand up without any issues"

"Just give me a few minutes and I'll be fine Emmet, pinky swear" I said while holding out my pinky for him.

"Well if you're that serious…" He said with a grin as he wound his massive pinky around mine.

"So, whatcha wanna do?" I asked.

"Prepare to be amazed," Emmet grinned, "Today, I have for your viewing pleasure, the complete set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I figured we could just chill. I even ordered pizza!"

"Emmet you're the best!" I squealed as I hugged him as hard as I could.

We spent the rest of the day watching Buffy and eating pizza… well I was the only one eating the pizza. Until I noticed Emmet staring at it, then I dared him to eat a slice- it didn't go well for him. Let's just leave it at that.

I must have fallen asleep sometime because the next time I opened my eyes, it was morning and I was in my bed. I sat up, confused as to how I got there.

"I brought you up," A voice that I would recognize from anywhere said.

"Holy Shit!" I yelped, "When did you get here?!?"

"Early this morning, apparently Emmet didn't think of how uncomfortable you would be sleeping on the couch," Edward said from the corner of the room, grinning at my surprise. "I hope you don't mind"

"No, I don't mind" I said, still trying to get my heart to return to it's normal beating.

"Did you and Emmet have a nice time?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said "It was really fun, we watched Buffy!" Edward chuckled.

"What?" I said, immediately suspicious.

"Oh nothing" He said with an innocent grin on his face.

"Edward Cullen, if you don't tell me what's going on right now, I won't talk to you for the rest of today" I threatened.

"Is that a threat?" He asked, amused.

"No," I whispered "It's a promise"

"Somehow, I don't think you'll be able to keep that promise, Bella" My name sounded so good coming out of his mouth.

"Well, 'Ye Old Almighty and Powerful Vampire of Doom' is going down." I said with a smirk.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"Sorry Edward, this is the last time I'm talking to you until tomorrow." I said.

"Fine, Bella, bring it on" He taunted.

I got out of bed, slipped on my slippers and left the room. Only to find Emmet and Alice waiting outside my door for me with matching smiles on their faces. They both looked way too devious for their own good.

"We're under the impression that you could use our services" Alice said with a knowing smile.

"Yes," I said with a grin, "Yes I could."

Then Alice and Emmet dragged me to her room so we could plan it out without Edward hearing. After a few let's just say embarrassing escapades, it was decided that everyone should have a sound-proof room to give the couples some privacy.

I smirked as I left Alice's room three hours later, hungry, tired and ready for my revenge.
