Chapter 10

After months and months and countless hours, I still hadn't seen improvement. Kissing him was the only thing working. And as much as I would love to spend the rest of my life kissing this beautiful man who had chosen me to be his girlfriend, I knew it wasn't realistic. I had to think of something.

Summer break was almost over and I hated having to start a new school year and see Edward get teased like he did last year by James. After seeing what he had put him through and knowing how hard it was for him to keep his cool and not rip them to pieces, I started grasping at straws asking each one of his family members starting with Rosalie for advice.

I walked up the stairs to her and Emmet's room, I poked my head around the door and of course she was redoing her makeup for the third time today. For goodness sake it was only twelve o'clock.

"Bella, what do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" she said to me making me jump out of my skin. I don't think anyone really realizes how hard it is to be sneaky in a house full of vampires and you're about as agile as a new colt.

"Sorry Rose. Edward is taking a break and went out hunting with Jasper. I didn't know if you could help with Edward. I know the key is to get him to relax but, I've run out of ideas."

" I know what would make him relax!" Emmett said from behind scaring the crap out of me.

"Emmett! Can you please not do that? I know your heart doesn't beat, but mine still does and if you keep scaring me it won't be for long." I said sarcastically. "Anyway, what's your idea?"

"Well, I know what Rose does to make me relax" he said with a sly grin while raising his eyebrows up and down.

"Emmett! No, we aren't even married! And don't you ever think of anything else…. besides that!" Yelling at him maybe a little too loudly.

"Besides Em. Even if they did do that, he would kill her instantly. And you know Edward wouldn't even allow it. Think again." Rose interjected. Unfortunately Rose had a point. Even if he wouldn't kill me, it might make him relax but just even thinking about him and I together made my breakfast do summersaults and my palms start to sweat.

"It's ok guys. I'll think of something." I left them in their bedroom to do whatever is they do. I didn't even want to think about it. Being married, teenage vampires in the house must be loud for Carlisle and Esme. I set out to find Alice. She had to have some ideas.

I immediately went straight upstairs to Jasper and Alice's room, walked through it and went directly to her closet, which was bigger than their bedroom.

"Knock, knock?"

"Hi, Bella! Come to get a makeover?" Alice said enthusiastically.

"You wish! Not a chance on Earth. I actually came by to ask you something."

"Bella, I'm sorry but I've searched and searched in my head and I don't see any change in Edward turrets' in the future." My heart sank. No one ever bet against Alice and won. "Bella, I know how much it means to you to get James to stop tormenting him at school this year but I think just having you there, next to Edward, holding his hand and knowing that your by his side will help immensely. Bella it will be ok. I CAN see that!"

"Thanks Alice. That's does help. But I'm not going to give up. I know that there is something that I'm overlooking. Thanks again." As I walked out I could hear Esme talking to someone. Must be Carlisle. He must have just gotten home from his shift at the hospital.

"Hey Carlisle. How was the shift?" I asked Carlisle.

"Great as usual." He exclaimed as he sat down at the table and took off his crocks and socks. Hey Esme, I'm out of scrubs and I have to go into tonight. Can you clean me some scrubs? Or I could ask Alice to go shopping but she would never be back in time before my shift at midnight." He said to Esme.

"No, I'll clean you some. It will give me something to do."

"Ok then." He replied. "Where's Edward?"

"He's out with Jasper hunting." I chimed in. "Carlisle, do you ever deal with turret's patients at work like Edward. Not a vampire obviously but you know with the same twitches and stuttering like he does?

"Not normally, but there are a few specialists in Port Angles. Why do you ask?"

"Well, Edward and I have been at these facial exercises I found online for months now and he hasn't even made a dent. Really, he just feels silly and gets upset and then gives up. It's really frustrating and I think I'm going to have to try something else but I'm not sure what that is."

"Bella, you have to understand he has dealt with this over a hundred years. And the medicine I get for him does a help a little. I wish there was something else besides the medicine but I don't know what that is."

"I know. It's just he acts like James when he has to take all those pills. He gets cranky and angry and just isolates himself. And they burn off so quickly when he takes it with the animal blood there really isn't a point in it. He's not MY Edward when he's on them. I'll love him no matter how bad it gets, I just know he's not

happy and it's getting worse and I know James will have a hay day at school next month. I hate for Edward have to go through all of the bullying and still have to act like he couldn't pull them apart in two seconds. I guess he doesn't have to go to school but I couldn't stand a whole entire day without him. Is that selfish?" I asked him.

"No, Bella. It's not. He's finally found his mate. He wouldn't want to be away from you either. I'm surprised he didn't wait until you were asleep to go hunting."

"I think he just wanted to get away from all the stupid exercises I've been putting him through. I feel horrible." I confessed. I felt as if I'd been running a marathon with no end in sight. I know there's an answer. Of what it is I don't know.

"Bella?" Carlisle said snapping me out of my day dream.

"Yea? Sorry"

"If you want I'll call around and see if I can't get someone who can give us some advice that we haven't already thought of. And I'll let you know, ok?"

"Ok. Thanks." I went into the living room sat down and turned on the television just flipping through channels. Praying, flipping, praying, and flipping. "Lord, I know there is an answer out there somewhere. If you could just guide me to what that answer may be I would be eternally grateful. Amen" I opened my eyes and began watching whatever show was on. I couldn't believe my eyes at what I was seeing. I knew I had found my answer.

Please don't hate me. Bella finally finds her answer. The more reviews I get the faster I'll update. Love you all. XOXO
