Review and tell me what you think!

Chapter 11

The doctor filling in for Rosalie stopped me while I was on my way out of the hospital. Edward was waiting for me at the end of the hall and I couldn't help but be excited about seeing him.

"Nurse Swan is there any possible way you could do a double shift tonight?" I frowned and then looked up at Edward. He started to walk towards me. Once he reached me he silently asked me what was wrong. "Oh." Her face brightened at the sight of my…er…my boyfriend? Lover? What am I supposed to call him? "I'm Victoria." She went to shake his hand but he wasn't paying attention to her. I watched as she got angry and put her hand down.

"Is there anyone else you could ask?" I bit down on my lower lip. "My son…"

"No, there isn't and I really don't like when it's short staffed around here." She grumbled like she had been here for a long time. She knew nothing about this hospital. I couldn't help but get enraged.

"I'll make sure Masen has dinner, if you want to stay." He wrapped one of his arms around my waist.

"Are you sure?" I glanced up at him biting on my lip again. I knew I didn't really need the hours but for some reason I felt like this would be good. Letting them have alone time. It made me very happy on the inside. "I don't have to…"

"Swan, can you please hurry. We have patients that need to be taken care of." Victoria huffed from beside me. I just looked over at her with a glare.

"If you don't mind I would really like to discuss this with my boyfriend." I felt Edward's hand squeeze my waist at the word boyfriend. It felt natural saying it.

Victoria rolled her eyes and scoffed. I could tell she wanted to say something but she didn't. I looked back up at Edward. He wasn't looking at her still, both of his eyes were still on me.

"It's alright, Bella. You work and I'll take care of Masen. Don't worry." He kissed my forehead. I wasn't worried, not at all.

"Thanks." I sighed running a hand through my hair. I knew they needed this alone time but I really waned to be with them.

"When will you be home?"

"I'm not sure but I'll call you before I leave her." I smiled.

"Alright, Love. See you later." He kissed my forehead again. I watched him walk away. He had a really nice butt.

I blushed thinking about this. I should probably get to work before the bitch Victoria decides she wants to send her wrath on me.

The house was quiet by the time I got home. I had called Edward's phone and my house phone but no one bad picked up.

All of the lights were turned off but I knew Edward was there because his car was in my driveway.

I noticed someone sleeping on my couch. I smiled to see that it was Edward with Alexa sleeping soundly on his chest. I didn't want to wake them so I went and pulled a blanket over their bodies. Edward stirred but didn't wake up.

I just stood there watching them.

This was my family, or at least two of the people in my family. The other person was probably upstairs sleeping.

I walked towards the kitchen and flipped on the light. I groaned when I realized that I hadn't gone grocery shopping in awhile so there was nothing for me to eat in the fridge. The I noticed the Chinese food sitting on the counter. I quickly sat up on the counter and started stuffing my face. Sure it was cold but I hadn't eaten all day. The hospital had been pretty busy, especially after four.

Victoria had left around nine and asked me to stay a few extra hours. I really wanted to scream but I knew that I would stay.

My feet felt like they were going to fall off if I didn't sit down somewhere. It felt nice to have them dangling off the counter.

I couldn't believe I had worked from 9 am until 11 pm. I was beat and I knew if I didn't go to bed now then I wouldn't wake up tomorrow. Thankfully Victoria granted me a day off since I had worked for so long. I had threatened her with telling someone since she seemed to be slave driving me.

My bed felt empty, somehow I felt like Edward should be laying next to me.

I felt the bed shift thirty minutes later. I wasn't sure why I hadn't fallen asleep yet. The body next to me pulled me close and whispered in my ear.

"Mind if I sleep in here?" Edward's voice was soft and loving. I just shook my head and let my body get closer to his. I closed my eyes and that's when I finally fell asleep.

----

"Bella, Love?" Edward was shaking me. I just groaned not wanting to wake up yet. I was comfortable right where I was. "Bella, it's past two."

I quickly sat up in bed. I couldn't believe I had slept away most of the day. But then again I hadn't gone to bed since midnight and I worked that very long shift…

"You've been here all this time?" I asked sleepily.

"I have." He nodded.

"Did Masen get to school? Where's Alexa?"

"Yes, he did. He's visiting Michael at the hospital after he gets out and Alexa is sleeping in the guest bedroom." He says pushing my hair out of my face.

"How'd dinner go last night?" I asked biting down on my lip nervously.

"Good, you have raised a good son, Bells." He smiled kissing my forehead. He went to stand up but I just pulled him back up. There was no way he was leaving my side yet. I needed to fully wake up first.

"That means a lot, Edward." I kissed his lips lightly. "Downstairs to the right in the living room there are two shelves full of tapes. Watch those."

"All of them?" He raised an eyebrow at me. I nodded. "Mind if I take them home and watch them? I need to get Alexa in the bath and feed her."

"Of course."

"Are you hungry? I could make you something."

"You, cook?" I let out a laugh. The last time Edward cooked for me I couldn't stop puking the next day. It was a terrible thing but I made it seemed like I liked it. Until he asked if I wanted him to cook again. I had to tell him no.

"I've been on my own all these years, I had to learn somehow. Grilled Cheese sound okay?"

"Sounds perfect, but Edward please don't burn it." I giggled. He tapped my nose and promised me he wouldn't.

I decided that I needed a shower since I had been far too tired the previous night. My body ached all over and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to walk down the stairs. I hadn't felt like this since I first started out at the hospital. That felt like death.

I walked down the stairs after my shower to find Edward sitting at the table. I suddenly wondered how he found the bread and cheese, I hadn't had any the night before.

"I went grocery shopping earlier. I saw you had nothing in this kitchen…that's okay, right?" I just laughed and plopped down on his lap.

"Thank you, but I should really pay you back."

"Nonsense, Bells." He said wrapping his arms around my waist. I picked up the sandwich and bit into it. It tasted almost like Heaven. I hadn't realized how hungry I was.

"This is amazing, Edward. Are you sure you made this?" I glanced at him.

"I'm positive, Love." He stole a bite of the sandwich.

"Oh, no Mister. This is all mine." I pulled it back so he couldn't eat any more of it. He tried to take it away from me but I pulled it far enough away he couldn't take it.

"Fine. You eat it." He pecked my cheek. I started eating it again.

"You are amazing, you know that?" I said raising an eye brow at him.

"So I've been told."

"Conceited much?"

"No, I just know you can't resist me. You never have been able to." He whispered in my ear. "You used to always tell me I was amazing."

"It's the truth and yes, Edward I can resist you." I pouted.

"Don't think so." He shook his head.

"Want to test that theory." I said looking at him seriously. His face fell and he shook his head.

"No, not at all. I believe you." He said in quickly before he nuzzled his face into my neck.

"Good answer." I kissed his lips on last time before hopping off of his lap.

"I should get going now." He sighed. I could tell he really didn't want to but I knew he was right. He had spent all day here with me just sleeping. I wonder if he watched me like he used to.

I gave him a pout.

"I'll call you later." He pulled my body close to his and kissed my lips with force. I wanted to keep at that but I knew if we did then it would turn into us running up the stairs to my room and I don't think that was something I want Masen to come home to.

---

Masen walked in the front door just as I had put dinner on the table. I found that my fridge and pantry were both fully stocked with foods I had loved. I wonder how he knew me so darn well.

"How was your day?" I asked him. He pulled his book bag off and threw it in the living room.

"It was good. I stopped to see Michael this after noon. His mom says he's getting better. I really hope this chemo works for him." He sighed taking a seat. "Did you get some sleep?" He asked me in that fatherly tone again. I really wished he'd stop treating me like I was the child and he was the parent.

"Yeah, I slept all day actually. Surprisingly Edward was still here when I woke up." I placed a glass of water in front of him.

"I really like him, Mom. He's a great guy. Last night we actually talked. I thought it'd be awkward but it really wasn't. I'm happy he came back and I'm happy that I get to know him. Lex too."

"Me too, Mase." I smiled at him. "Talk about anything important?" I pried.

"He said he was sorry for leaving you and that he wished he had been around when I was growing up but other then that not really." He shrugged stuffing his mouth with chicken.

"Oh." I shifted wishing there was a little more.

"What time do you work tomorrow?" He asked changing the subject.

"From eleven until seven." I say.

"Okay, I might be a little late getting home. Grandpa wanted me to stop by and watch some game with him." He shrugged. I knew Charlie liked the alone time he got with Masen. Since I had lived with him for the first five years of Masen's life.

"Okay. Masen, can I ask you something?" I wanted to know what happened when Lane was over here. I knew it was possibly not something he would share but I was his mother and it was my job to butt into his life. He nodded. "What were you so happy about when I got home Sunday? Lane had that same goofy smile on her face too…"

"She's a cool girl, I can't believe I hadn't talked to her before. We have a lot in common and…" He looked away. "I think I might like her."

I was surprised he was sharing this with me.

"What about Alyssa?" I cringed at her name.

"We just aren't working…she's too high maintenance." He shrugged finishing up his dinner.

"So, you're breaking up with her?" I said wanting to know a little more.

"Mom." He groaned.

"Sorry, Mase, I'm just curious." I shrugged taking a sip of my water.

"I'll let you know when I figure everything out, but right now I'm tired." He yawned. I was happy that he said he'd tell me when he figured everyone out. That made me happy that he felt comfortable talking to me. I wondered if he would ever feel comfortable talking to Edward like that. I hoped so.
