A/N: Ah... Finally, another chapter up. Sorry for taking so long and thanks to anyone who is staying alerted to this.

This chap will have a couple different POVs.

And I still do not own the characters... just Beth.

Edward- I

Bella-B

Alice-U

EPOV

(Beginning of dream)

Hmmmm, what are you making Alice?

What does it look like Edward?

Cake. Strawberry Shortcake to be exact.

You're so observant Edward. No wonder mom says you're the smartest of all.

Haha Alice. Hmmm, I can smell the strawberries from here. I took a deep breath and let the scent wash over me. I loved strawberries and my annoying sister knew it.

You're standing right next to me Edward. Do you want the spoon?

Of course! I proceeded to lick the whip off of the spoon.

Hmmmmm!

I looked around for the source of the groan. Not seeing anyone I licked the spoon again.

Hmmmmmm! It was louder this time.

I looked at Alice. Did you hear that?

Hear what?

Hmmmmm.

That, did you hear it?

I didn't hear anything Edward. You must be dreaming. First you smell strawberries, now you're hearing Bella groan.

Bella? I didn't say it was Bella. Alice this whip is very soft.

Hmmmmm. You aren't anymore. WTF? I looked up to see Bella had replaced Alice at the counter.

What the hell was going on here? Was I losing my mind? I looked down to see my hands full of marshmellows. I squeezed them. So soft. This time I moaned. It was getting very hot in here.

Hmmm, Take of your shirt.

Thunk, thunk, thunk.

Edward! Get up Edward.

Go jump in the lake Alice. I squeezed my hands again, but this time it was a pillow. Still soft.

Giggle. You're getting there.

Thunk, thunk, thunk.

Edward, I swear if you don't let Bella out of that bed now I'm coming in to get her.

Bella? Bed? Oh Fuck!

Thunk, thunk, thunk...

(End of dream)...

My eyes flew open and I saw the back of Bellas brunette head in front of me. Her hair smelled like strawberries. Fuck! I flexed my fingers, hoping to get them out from under her without waking her. Shit!

No such luck. They were wrapped around her breasts and each time I flexed I squeezed them.

She pushed her tiny backside against my... apparently now hardon.

"Uhnnn," I moaned softly.

"Hmmmm, feels so good." she groaned out.

"Edward." Alice screamed.

I flew backwards, tumbling half of the bed, tangling up in the blanket and hitting my head on the nightstand. My wonderful acrobatics caused Bella to roll the other way, falling head first on the floor, her legs still half way across my bed tangled in the same blanket as me.

"Fuck Alice. Couldn't you knock, or something." I yelled at her.

"I did knock, brother dear. The only response I got was moaning and groaning. I was about to go get Em to see what was going on in here, but then I heard you talking. Hmmm, so soft, hmmmm..." she smirked at me.

I picked up my pillow and threw it at her from my precarious position on the floor... bed...whatever.

"10 minutes. We have shopping to do." she laughed as she ducked out of the room.

Fuck, fuck, fuck... There's no way this girl would like me now. I had mauled her in her sleep... but you were sleeping too... no, no, no, that's not an excuse! I should have known better when Alice started talking weird. I was a pervert. Fathers should keep their daughters locked up when I was around. Bellas dad should... Chief Swan... I am so fucking dead! Goodbye Bella. It was nice knowing you. Tell my parents I love them.

I untangled my feet from the blanket of doom and glanced over at Bella.

"Are you hurt Edward? Let me see." she asked as she reached down to help me back on the bed. I carefully put my hand in hers and let her pull me to the bed. She shouldn't be so pleasant to me. Emmett would say this was the calm before the storm. And he would know, his relationship with Rose was a freaking Hurricane at times.

"It's going to leave a bruise." she whispered, referring to the now growing lump forming on my head.

"Are you okay?" I belatedly asked her. She nodded her head and I took that as a yes. She leaned in closer and licked my neck. WTF?

" Hmmmm, you taste good too." she smiled at me.

Seriously. What? The? Fuck?

"You're not mad at me?" I had to clarify this...totally absurd reaction from her. She should be screaming and running for her father. My father! Anybody! But she didn't. She stayed right here with me. Concerned that I was hurt from the fall. I would never understand girls.

She giggled at me. "God no Edward, you were so hot I thought I would have to call 9-1-1 to put the fire out." she exclaimed.

Ha! I mentally flipped my siblings off while doing the happy dance. In your faces. And they thought I was gay.

"Sooooo, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? I'm sure there would be no problem with a babysitter." I added on just incase she was worried about Beth. We had worked things out last night before falling asleep. Today we would just do things together. After Alices shopping trip of course, or we wouldn't live to see another day. Tomorrow, Monday, my parents would go with us to the lawyers office and figure shit out. And then I would be on the way to becoming a father. It was a little overwhelming but I already loved her, and she was my brothers daughter. There was no way I was giving her up. But right now I had to get Bella to like me. I wanted her around too. To be a mother to Beth. Hopefully as a part of my life, as my wife. But I couldn't push her to hard, or to fast. It might make her run the other way. Screaming. As she sould be doing now.

"Edwarrrrd! So help me, I'll send Emmett up there!" Alice screamed from two floors down. Seriously, how the hell do Jasper put up with her.

Bella leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I held my fingers to the spot as she left the room, so dazed that her answer barely registered in my mind.

"I'll meet you downstairs at 7:00. Don't be late. Emmett, Jasper," she blew me a kiss and waltzed out of the room with a smirk on her face.

Emmett was the first to talk. Naturally.

"Dude! That was totally hot. I swear on my mothers grave... I will never call you gay again."

"Ditto," Jasper added. He was still in shock. As was I. It hit me that they had seen the whole thing.

"Soooo," Emmett began again, "You slept with Bella?"

"Fuck Emmett," I growled at him, "why do you always make things perverted?"

"Mehnnn, I don't know. Looks like you did a little rolling around up here though," he said, waggling his eyebrows at me.

I picked up Bellas pillow and threw it at him. He ran into the hallway laughing like a hyena while the pillow bounced of off the door, falling to the floor. Fucker!

I glared at Jasper, daring him to say anything.

"Fucking Emmett," I growled out while picking up my pillows from the floor.

Jasper nodded his head in agreement with me. I stuck one foot into the leg of my jeans.

"So, Edward, did you sleep with Bella?" He was out the door with a howl of laughter before I could finish getting my jeans on. He had timed it well. Note to self: Never run with your pants down. It do not end well. I tripped over my feet in my haste to get to him and he was halfway down the stairs before I got to the hallway. Motherfucker! I swear to god he's taking lessons from Alice.

"Uhmmm, Edward dear. Please put your jeans on. We have company," my mothers sweet voice came from behind me. "There will be time for that later." She walked past me with a smirk on her face.

Great. I groaned. My own mother had turned against me.

By the time I made it downstairs, the girls were already gone. Alice works fast. My mother agreed to watch Beth so I could take Bella out to dinner. She was secretly hoping it would be the beginning of something more permanent. Even though it was only one day, I couldn't help agreeing with her.

She wished me good luck and I left to make arrangements for our dinner date. It had to be somewhere special if I wanted to have a second date. And I really wanted that second date with her.

Maybe Jasper could help. There's no way in hell I was asking Emmett, I'd end up at Chucky Cheese somewhere. And if Alice found out, it would be pointless to make reservations before tomorrow. So, Jasper it was. He just had to keep it from Alice until we left. I groaned, knowing that would be an impossible mission to achieve.

Bella said she would meet me downstairs at 7:00. That meant she was coming back here after shopping. I hoped she didn't say anything to Alice, or my covert work would have been for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I do love my sister, but why she feels the need to take 5 hours to get ready for a date is beyond me. Bella didn't seem like that kind of girl, she had a natural beauty with her.

I groaned, hoping I was right, but it didn't really matter. I would wait till the end of time for her.

A/N: So guys, once again, I am very sorry for taking so long. No excuses except for real life getting in the way. And reading other fanfics... :S

I hope to get this one wrapped up soon, and I want to thank you guys for having patience with it. :)

Next chapter will be BPOV. Hopfully it won't take so long.

Take care,
