One Night Stands & fiancées
AN: Have any of you ever done a conference call before it's hilarious. Hard to do on cell phones I suppose with this many people but I figure they are using Skype, or someone is, let's say it's Emmy who called Edward, Maria, and Carmen and Eleazor's hotel room. From here on out Eleazor might be occasionally call Eli like (E-Lie). Also I wanted more drugged up Bella. This takes place when Edward has returned to work a few hours later.
Enjoy :p
Chapter 10
So. How did it go?
POV: All Knowing
This seemed utterly ridiculous and almost completely laughable. Everyone was assembling, via conference call. Carmen and Eleazor from their hotel room, Maria from her car, Jasper, Edward, and Bella from the hospital and Emmy from her locked bedroom. The phone chain had started from Emmy who was stunned there wasn't more yelling and the word had spread to Jasper when Emmy had informed Edward who was sitting right there with Bella, who was surprised by a stunned visit from Jasper. Alas here they all were on speaker phones in the privacy of whatever confines they could find.
"So how did it go?" Maria was the first one to speak once all salutations were out of the way. She sounded eager to hear what the respective reactions were.
"We should really wait for Alice" Bella slurred from her drug induced state between Edward and Jasper who flanked her sides while the phone rested on her lap.
"Whoa are you ok?" Eleazor asked with a slight laugh.
"Are you drunk?" Maria asked with a giggle from her end.
Bella's giggles resounded through the phone while Jasper spared a concerned look at Edward who was shaking with his own silent laughter. "That's just the morphine talking" Edward said after a moment.
"What?!" sounded from all sides while Emmy's voice shone through with humor.
"Edward did you drug poor Bella up to take advantage of her?"
Jasper chuckled and then spoke up, "If only that were true"
"He wishes" Bella giggled turning her heavy head to look at Edward who was rolling his eyes at Emmy's claim before resting his eyes on Bella, eyebrow raised.
"What was that?" Carmen shouted.
"I got hit by a car!" Bella shouted back before everyone heard Edward and Jasper shhing her and her softly apologizing while giggling.
"WHAT?" everyone exclaimed again.
"Oh my gosh Bella are you ok?" it was Alice this time, joining the conversation.
"Where are you?" Maria asked confused. Alice had not been with anyone on the line and she was sure Alice would have buzzed in by now.
"ALICE!" Bella exclaimed while once more Edward and Jasper chuckled.
"Wow she looks… stoned" Alice said stopping in her tracks to take in Bella.
"Hello?" Maria asked again.
"She just walked into Bella's hospital room, Bella is going to be staying with Alice for a while" Jasper said before shuffling around could be heard and Bella mumbling about motion sickness.
"Why?" Maria asked slight venom to her voice.
"Because my condo has an elevator and she'll be unable to walk properly for a while" Alice explained softly from where she now sat perched on the edge of the bed, her feet resting beside Jaspers on the chair he'd pulled over.
"Alice don't bump me" Bella ordered.
"I won't, besides I thought it was your right side?" Alice said glancing at the arm.
"Hence why we put the doctor on that side" Jasper responded but then he pointed at Bella's hip. "She's referring to her hip; her left side wasn't totally unscathed"
"Oh" Alice said before inching closer to Jasper so she wasn't sitting directly next to Bella's hip.
"Do these beds have a weight limit?" Bella asked eliciting a dry laugh from Edward.
"Is there a kinky party at the hospital I wasn't invited too?" Emmy asked with a giggle.
"Kinky I wish. If they touch I break!" Bella slurred loudly with a pout. "Whoa motion of the ocean!" she exclaimed when the laughter of her three bedmates shook the hospital bed.
"Seriously what happened?" Edward asked.
"Jasper you wanna start?" Emmy asked.
"Sure" he replied going back to his very stunned face.
"Well?" Alice urged. Jasper glanced from Edward to Alice and then Bella back to Alice.
"Her father has known she was married for the about a week, her mother went ballistic and her father made her shut up" he smiled.
"Really?" Edward asked raising an eyebrow.
"Seriously?" Alice and Bella spoke simultaneously.
"That's unexpected" Maria said sounding stunned as Jasper had been since it happened.
"Yeah, I don't know who was more shocked Rose or I?" Jasper said again.
"Care to elaborate?" Emmy pressed.
"Her father seemed uncharacteristically relieved" Jasper added before going on, "I really think her mother was the one hot for those two to get married, though he was very upset she kept it a secret for so long, not getting to give her away and then things just got a little too personal for me to share with you… in a good way I think. Her mother didn't really speak again because she got hushed every time she tried and then walked away when Rosalie and her dad got all personal, so I left to"
"Odd" Bella said sounding more sober than she had in a while. Jasper turned to her and nodded in agreement.
"So how did things go with your half Emmy?" Alice asked after a long stunned silence.
"Ugh not that smoothly, not bad, but Rosalie and Emmett are really going to have to step up the affection to ease the anger my parents feel. They aren't happy she waited so long to end things with Royce" Emmy explained not meeting near as much interruptions as Jasper had.
"We saw that coming, just from both sides and not only one" Alice said before moving to stand beside Jasper, no one but Bella was comfortable on the bed, but then again everyone was afraid they'd hurt her with any wrong moves.
"So where are Emmett and Rose now?" Maria asked breaking the silence.
"At Emmett's, since they are in the clear kind of" Emmy responded.
"Good because what husband and wife wouldn't jump at the chance to finally be together?" Alice responded happily.
"I dropped Rose off before I got here, told them to work on their intimacy issues and came here" Jasper added.
"Mad props Jazz, mad props" Alice smiled ruffling his hair.
Edward and Bella chuckled while Maria, now in the hospital parking lot scowled at a random lit room. She didn't understand why Jasper hadn't come to her instead of Bella.
Meanwhile at the McCarty residence…
"Do you think your dad is convinced?" Emmett asked from where he sat on one end of the love seat and Rose on the other.
"He seemed pretty convinced, I mean I was just so happy he wasn't yelling at me that I looked genuine when I got the ok to spend the night with you" Rosalie sighed from her spot.
"I kind of wish my experience was that smooth" he sighed.
"I'm sorry Emmett, really I am. I mean I really expected lots of screaming and yelling… wait there still will be, my mom hasn't had her say yet, at least not completely" Rose trailed off while Emmett gave her a sympathetic smile.
"So long as we can get Royce out of the way tomorrow afternoon we'll be fine" he smiled patting Rosalie's leg.
"Oh no" Rosalie groaned. Emmett met her eyes and she frowned, "I have breakfast with my mom's book club tomorrow"
"Witnesses, many many witnesses" Emmett reminded pulling Rosalie into his side as she whimpered at the thought. "My mom just joined a book club about a week ago"
"Great, your mom and my mom…and Royce's mom and my aunt" she suddenly trailed off. "I need alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol" she said looking up at Emmett.
"You want to go into this hung-over?" he asked eyes wide.
"No you're right, but a couple of shots and I'll at least get some sleep tonight" she smiled hoping to have Emmett give in to her.
He nodded and removed himself from her before heading to his kitchen, she padded barefoot along behind him and as he pulled out a bottle of Tequila she set her phone alarm for another half hour earlier to ensure she was awake and would have time to cover her bruised cheek, it was fading pretty quickly but was still present.
Hopping up on the counter took the offered empty shot glass while he poured himself a shot and her one.
"Never drink alone?" he said raising his shot to her.
"To phase two, getting rid of Royce" she smiled clinking her shot with his before slamming it back.
"To my 7:30 tea time with my dad" Emmett smiled as they pounded back yet another shot, both laughing at each and every toast.
"Oo I got one I got one" Rosalie giggled as she held her empty glass out for more and Emmett obliging filled it.
"To?" he asked raising his glass to meet hers.
"To sticking it to the adulterous bastard" she shouted and downed her shot.
"Amen" Emmett shouted downing his before slamming the glass on his counter.
"Is that the time?" Rosalie asked leaning off the counter onto Emmett's chest so she could see the oven clock behind him.
He glanced back and laughing he nodded his head.
"We are so fucked!" Rosalie said pushing him back so she could hop off the counter only to find both of them on their asses between the cabinets and island shelves laughing.
"Oook too drunk let's get you too bed" he said standing and pulling her up by her hands only to have her collide with his chest still giggling uncontrollably. After a few moments Emmett slung her over his shoulder and began heading for his room. They had decided earlier to share a bed in case they had any surprise visitors or Emmett's maid was somehow a spy, apparently it was possible she was young, a bit of a moron, and definitely Royce's type.
When Emmett put her down on the bed she quickly sat up. "Wait I need my PJ's"
Emmett pushed her back down and shut off the light. "You are in them, you changed when you got here" he laughed and plopped onto the bed. "Scoot I get the right side"
"No I do"
"Mine"
"Ladies first"
"The bed was mine first"
AN: We call this full circle. They started their marriage drunk and will now start their marriage once more…drunk. Can anyone guess what will happen next or tomorrow? If you guessed a book club massacre you're close. All I will leave you with is Emmett goes from one extreme to another…fast.
