Little Edward and Bella - Shameless Fluff: Everyday
Disclaimer: The best things in life are free. Sadly, Twilight is not free. And I don't own it. :(
A/N: I'm alive!!! I am sooo sorry it took me so long, but I'm really happy to say that EXAMS are OVER!!! Anyway, over the course of a week, I got sick (damn hay fever), heartbroken, mildly depressed, had exams and I discovered Facebook (sad, I know)! Anyway, I'm not really that satisfied with this chapter, so I'll try to rewrite this soon… I promise.
Thanks for everyone who read, reviewed, put this on favorites or put this on alert! You make me happier than Bella in a bookstore! ^^
Everyday
Of our lives
Wanna find you there
Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run while we're young
And keep the faith.
-Everyday, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron
"I'm bored."
Jasper sighed and shook his head. "I know."
His younger brother turned to look at him. "I wonder what Bella's doing."
Rosalie huffed. "Edward, Bella left two days ago," she said, "and you've been asking the same questions! Give it a break!" She walked out, and Edward glared at her retreating back, before poking his tongue out at her. Satisfied, he grinned to himself and resumed coloring. He colored the picture in for a few minutes before setting the crayon back down and sighing. He opened his mouth and turned to Jasper.
"Don't say it," he said. "I know you're bored."
Edward huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. Jasper shook his head and continued reading, while Edward colored his little picture of a Jasper-in-a-devil-costume angrily, glaring at Jasper every once in a while.
"Mama," Edward's voice rang out in the kitchen, and Esme smiled warmly at her youngest son. She wiped her hands in her apron and knelt in front of him. "I'm bored. I want Bella," he moaned.
She looked away with a slight frown. "I know, baby, I know."
Edward looked at the counter and saw that his mother was cooking. With nothing better to do with his little four-year old life, he turned to his mother and smiled, flashing his little baby teeth at her. "Can I help?" he asked.
She smiled wider. "Of course," she said, and she grabbed a chair for him to stand on. He stared at her apron and asked for one and she took Jasper's old apron (the one he used for cooking class) from the cupboard and handed it to her son. Of course, Jasper wore it when he was seven and Edward was two, so, naturally, the apron was way too big for him. He giggled to himself as he put his hand in the wide pockets, feeling around it. "There you go, my little assistant chef," she clapped her hands, and Edward did the same. "Now, you can go and wash these lettuces for me…"
They ate dinner in peace, sharing stories of what they did the whole day like they usually do, with Edward proudly telling his siblings about his achievement: he had managed to tear the lettuce leaves without fully obliterating them. He was proud of himself, as his parents smiled sheepishly in the background. After eating, Rosalie helped Esme with the dishes and Jasper went back to playing his video games. Edward sat with Carlisle.
"Daddy," he said, and he climbed Carlisle's lap. "I miss Bella."
"I know, Edward," his father replied as he brushed his hair back from his forehead. Edward frowned.
"Do you?"
He was caught off guard for some reason, and he immediately imagined life without Esme. "Yes."
Edward was deep in thought afterwards. "Daddy," he called in a sing song voice, and Carlisle sighed inwardly. He knew that singsong voice: He wanted something, and he was determined to get it. "Daddy…" Edward called again, and Carlisle pasted a smile on his face.
"Yes, Edward?"
"Can you please get Bella's mommy's number?"
"Hello, Uncle Charlie?"
Charlie smiled as he shook his head. It was Edward on the other line, and he sounded excited. "Yes, squirt?"
"Can I please have Bella's mommy's number?"
He looked at the phone and said, "Why?"
"I'm going to call her," he said, like it was the most obvious reason in the world. Charlie chuckled and told him to wait, so he did, humming a tune under his breath. He was anxious to hear her voice again. It seemed like forever! Had it only really been two days?
"Edward?" Charlie's voice was heard from the phone, and Edward pulled the phone back against his ear, while signing for Jasper to come closer. Since he couldn't write yet, he was going to dictate the numbers, Jasper was going to write them down, and he would then dial the phone for him, if he promised not to complain anymore; it was a small price to pay for such a big act.
"Five, five, five," Edward repeated and Jasper hurriedly wrote the digits down, "Seven, one, one, three. Okay. Thank you, Uncle Charlie!" Pause. "Okay, I'll say hi for you. Bye!"
He put the phone down and handed it to Jasper who dialed the numbers for him. He passed the phone back to his bouncing younger brother and left the room, smiling.
St Peter better add this to my list of acts of kindness! He thought, as he walked off to find his mother.
The phone rang as Renee and Bella ate dinner. Her daughter perked up and looked at the phone attached to the wall and Renee stood up to answer it. "Hello?"
A little pitchy voice answered. "Hello? Bella's mommy? I'm Edward. Can I please talk to Bella?"
So this is Edward… Hmm… He sounds nice… she thought, as she glanced quickly at her daughter who was watching her like a hawk. "Edward, is it?" she repeated, and her daughter's face perked up even more and glowed at the mention of the name. She smiled at her when she quickly gobbled up her food before leaping off the chair she was sitting on and waddling towards the phone. "Just a second."
Bella reached out for the phone and her face lit up like a little lamp. Renee giggled to herself as she cleaned up the dishes and left the room.
As young as she is, Renee thought, as she placed the dishes on the sink. She looked back at her daughter who was now talking animatedly, obviously happy, She deserves privacy.
"Edward!" Bella squealed, and Edward felt his heart soar at the sound of her voice.
"Bella!" he said, "I miss you!"
She pouted. "I miss you too! How's everyone?"
"We're okay. How are you? How's Phoenix? What's it like?"
"Sunny," she replied, as she twirled a lock of hair around her finger. "I'm okay; Guess what, Edward?" she said excitedly as she let go off the lock of hair and gripped the phone with two hands. She grinned to herself in satisfaction.
"What?"
"One of my baby teeth is gone," she said proudly. Her mommy said that, since her baby tooth fell out yesterday, that meant she was growing up. "I'm growing up Edward!"
"Really?" he asked enthusiastically and he shared the excitement. "That's great! But I'm still older."
"No you're not," she countered, and she glared at the wall.
"Yes I am."
"You're not. You still have all your baby teeth."
"So what? I was born on June."
They argued on the topic until they felt sleepy and said good night.
The next day, Esme found her son sitting up in his room with a piece of string dangling from his mouth. "Edward?" she asked. "What are you doing, baby?"
"I'm tying to get wid of my bibi tuh."
She giggled, and he looked on, confused, string still dangling from his open mouth. She approached him and knelt if front of him as he held one end of the string and tried to tug. She held his hand and said, "No."
"Wah no?"
"It will come off when it wants to," she said, as she tipped his head back. "Now, take the string off, and come down for a snack."
He followed her reluctantly downstairs.
The next day, Esme heard shrill cries from upstairs. She ran up in a frenzy, panicking. Was someone hurt? Did a thief climb up the window? Did Jasper see a cockroach?
She ran quickly towards the source of the noise and found herself leaning against the doorframe in relief.
Edward ran to her, his eyes tear filled; in his hand was a string. On the other end of the string, was a blood-covered baby tooth.
"Bella, guesh what?"
Little Bella tilted her head over in confusion. It had been four days since Edward called (her Mommy said that long distance calls were expensive) and now he sounded weird. She absent mindedly put her finger on the blank spot where her tooth used to be and tapped her gums. Her Mommy had told her off for doing it, saying that it was dirty, but she continued on doing it, just because she liked the feel of her squishy, soft gums.
"What?" she asked, and her breath came out like a whistle. She heard Edward giggle and she tried to cross her arms, huffing once more, but only managing to whistle again. Her best friend's laughter rang out, loud and clear. "E-ward," she said, and she continued to whistle like a dolphin. "Thut up."
"Sorry."
She nodded.
"Bella," Edward said again. "My baby tooh fell out."
She squealed. "Really?"
And they swapped storied of how their baby teeth fell out for ten minutes, before moving on to other topics.
Renee watched her daughter talk animatedly to the phone. She turned around to face her computer and suddenly had an idea. She walked to Bella and tapped her shoulder, signing for the phone. Her daughter passed it to her reluctantly and she smiled in thanks.
"Ello? Bewwa?"
"Hello, Edward?"
"Yesh?"
"Can you pass this to your Mommy, please?"
"Okay," he said, and she heard him yelling, "Mama!" She heard footsteps approaching the phone and she smiled.
"Hello?" she heard a soft voice say from the other line. "Renee?"
"Esme?" she asked, and she smiled wider as she watched her curious daughter from her peripheral vision. "Hey, listen…"
Edward watched as his sister sat in front of their dad's laptop. "Wose," he moaned, impatient. "Wha'are you doing?"
"Shush," she said, and she clicked on. "Just a few more…."
"Wose!!!"
"Shut up, Edward!"Rosalie roared at him, and he looked taken aback. He frowned and glared, but shut up. "Thank you."
He pouted and glared at the back of her head, wishing for her honey blond locks to just set on fire. She stood up minutes later with a satisfied smile on her face. "Done!" she exclaimed, and she walked to the door. She turned around halfway through the room and pointed a finger at him, looking smug. "And stay there!" she said, "I know, I know," she giggled while Edward looked bewildered. "No need to thank me."
She laughed as she walked out.
Edward looked at what the fuss was, only to find that his daddy' wallpaper was now different. It wasn't their family's portrait anymore; it was now a kitchen of an unknown house. What does this mean? He thought, as he looked cautiously at it. Maybe it's one of those screaming things with the scary faces…
He continued to look on, still wary, until he heard a voice so familiar, he swore he could imitate it quite well.
"Mommy," the voice said, "why is Edward's face on the computer?"
Bella looked curiously at the computer from where she stood. Unsure, she walked over slowly, keeping her eye on the screen. The Edward locked in the monitor now had glimmering eyes and he grinned wildly. Bella screamed out of fright and ran to her mother. "Bella!" she heard him say, "wait, it's me!"
"Mum-Mommy," she moaned, as she tugged at her mother's pants. "The-there's a—a fake Edward on the-on the screen!" she weeped.
Renee lifted her daughter, noting mentally to not do it again as she was getting quite heavy, and rubbed her back. "It's really Edward."
Bella peeked up from where she was hiding and saw that the Edward on the screen looked sad. "E-Edward?" she hiccupped.
Edward's head snapped up and he broke into a grin. "Yes, Bella?"
She smiled, and clambered down from her mother's arms. "Edward!" she yelled, as she climbed the swivel chair. "How are you?" she asked, as if she hadn't spoken to him in years. Renee smiled and patted her daughter's back, turning around to leave the room and clean up around the house.
"Bella, baby?" she called, and she heard a faint, "Mm?" "Can you please not touch anything on the computer?"
"Mmkay," she moaned, and she continued to converse with her friend.
"Okay."
"Do you wanna play truth or dare, Bella?" Edward asked, as he watched his best friend slouch on her seat. She nodded her head, her eyes half lidded out of boredom.
"Otey," she said, "But we can't do dares, because I'm in a different place."
He nodded in comprehension, placing his hand under his chin, deep in thought. "Then we just do truths."
She smiled and nodded, her silky, newly washed hair bobbing. "Okay!"
"My turn first!" Edward said, "Do you like Phoenix better than Forks?"
She sat in thought, mimicking Edward's position a few minutes earlier. She then shook her head. "Its fun," she said, "but I don't know anyone but my mommy."
He nodded and smiled in relief. He leaned back and said, "It's your turn!"
"Okay," she said, as she rocked sideways. "Did you find a new best friend while I'm gone?"
"Nope!"
"Okay!" she looked satisfied.
"So, Bewwa…" he looked shyly at her. "When are you coming back?"
"Soon."
He smiled. "Okay!"
"Very soon," she said, and she clapped her tiny hands together. "I miss you, Edward!"
"I miss you too, Bella!" he said, and he repeated what his father usually said to his mother when she was going somewhere. "I love you!"
A/N: I am soo sorry. I know this one probably sucked, but I have all these ideas that got kicked out of revised lessons (e.g. Trig revision, chem revision, physics revision, etc.)… I am so sorry.
That aside, what do you think? :D
