Wow, some of you are not happy with any one except Jasper. They are two consenting adults and let's all assume she is on birth control. No elevator babies. And here is the direct aftermath.

Bella snuck into her apartment, not wanting to be caught. Although Jasper was cool, she didn't want to answer any questions tonight. She made it into her bedroom and breathed a sigh of relief…way too soon. The lamp suddenly illuminated the room in soft light. Bella startled looking at the occupant on her bed in shock.

"Where have you been? You were off hours ago."

"Rose! You scared me. What are you doing here?" She gasped.

"I had some vacation time built up since my internship and the last time I talked to you, I got the feeling that I had better get my ass over here."

"That wasn't necessary. I am not five. I do not need to be babysat." Bella pointed out.

"Hmmm…whatever you say, Bella. So where were you?"

"I…well…um…Igotstuckinanelevator." Bella said quickly.

"You got stuck in an elevator? Only you Bella." Rose guffawed.

"Jasper and Mike got stuck in one." Bella reminded her.

"True. So you were stuck on a smelly hot elevator with a dozen rude New Yorkers. Fun." Rose sarcastically stated. She hated New York.

"Yeah." Bella laughed weakly. Rose looked at her suspiciously.

"Bella, you are hiding something."

"No I'm not. Why would you think I was hiding something? I am an open book. Nope, nothing to hide." Bella rambled.

"Bella, were you really stuck on an elevator?"

"Yes!" She said indignantly.

"How many people were you stuck with?" Rose quizzed.

"Just…one." She mumbled.

"Who?" Rose asked suspiciously.

"Who? Oh no one you would know…just a coworker…yeah…no one special or interesting…or sex god like…yeah."

"BELLA! Oh please tell me you didn't have sex on the elevator with Cullen." Rose demanded.

"Okay, I didn't have hot elevator sex with Edward." Bella said meekly.

"BELLA!"

"Stop yelling at me! He was…and I…just…" Bella trailed off. How could she explain to Rose all the emotions flowing through her, when she herself couldn't come to terms with them? She forced back tears of frustration.

Rose watched Bella closely. She looked confused. She should have had Jasper bring her back immediately instead of letting her stay. Bella had been getting better in the last two years. She had started laughing and smiling more. For the first year it was as if someone had died. She guess in a way Bella did…or her heart at least. Rose felt rage build up in her. She was going to kill Cullen. He had caused them to go all the way back to square one with Bella. Rose then cursed herself. Everyone knew Bella wasn't strong enough to refuse Cullen…she never had been. She was just going to have to convince Bella to return home with her next week…if it was the last thing she did.

***WAN***

Edward watched helplessly as Bella walked away. He felt someone come up behind him.

"So?" James inquired.

"So…what?" Edward snapped. He stalked off in a fury. James raced after him.

"What did she say when you busted her?" James asked.

"What is it to you? Why do you care? You want to sleep with her too?" Edward snapped.

"Yes." James said, matter of factly.

Edward stopped and grabbed James's collar.

"You stay away from her, do you hear me? She is mine." Edward threatened.

"Hey man, calm down. I am only saying that she is hot. I wouldn't do that to you…not again. I lost too much when I slept with Alice." James admitted.

"Well, you should have thought about that before you did it."

"I am trying to make it up to you. Don't you see that? I didn't have to tell you about your intern and pussy boy, but I did. I can see you have feelings for her, deeper than you ever had for Alice. I did you a favor when I slept with Alice. I let you off the hook. I was the fall guy. It isn't my fault you let yourself be sucked back in. So get over your shit and let me back in. It is time to forgive me. It has been three years. I have known you since we were six. We have been through broken bones, bad grades, girlfriends, family problems, your father's death, college, med school and everything in between. That should mean something. So when you are ready, I am here. I always have been." With that James walked away.

Edward watched him go. As much as he hated to admit it, James was right. He did miss his friend, his brother. He knew that if he was ever going to have a shot with Bella, he would have to come to terms with his past.

***WAN**'

Edward was on a mission. The mission being find Bella Swan and make her talk to him. Easy, right? If you think so you obviously don't know Bella, because that girl made avoiding into an art form. If he thought it was bad before they had sex, he was dead wrong. It was three days after their sexcapade in the elevator and he had still to catch a glimpse of her. She had asked Chief Gregory to let her work on a pediatric neurosurgery case. The hospital had a separate attending for that. He had done a lot of thinking in the past few days and had even extended an olive branch to James. They had plans for drinks after work tonight. It would be awkward but it was necessary. James was his brother and Edward didn't turn his back on family…no matter what they did. He wasn't even mad any more, he was just so used to being angry with him. But James was right, if it wasn't for him Edward wouldn't have met Bella. And for that, he would always be grateful. Even with them fighting each other, or rather her fighting him, he loved her more than life itself. He just hated that she felt she had to lie to him in order to protect herself.

He was walked into his office and he noticed a blonde sitting in his chair with her back facing him. He wasn't expecting anyone.

"Excuse me? May I help you?" He asked incredulously.

The chair spun around revealing the last person on earth he wanted to see. Rosalie Hale.

"Hello, Asshole." She said, her grin evil.

"Hale." He said tersely. "What are you doing here?"

She raised an eyebrow as if to say 'what the fuck do you think I am doing here?'

"Ah…Bella." He said.

"Who else?" Rose replied. "My best friend leaves me to go to New York for three months and who does she run into? Edward Cullen and his She Bitch. The very same people who ripped out her heart and played racket ball with it. It took three years…THREE YEARS…to get her acting somewhat normal and not so much like a corpse who had been killed for sport. I will be damned if you are going to ruin all of our hard work and effort. You will stay away from her and you will let her leave and return to us…whole…when she is done here. I don't want one piece of her staying behind. Do you understand me?"

"No." Edward said.

"What do you mean…no?"

"No…the definition being…indicating a negative response, used to refuse, deny, or disagree with something. Need I go on?" Edward said.

Rose narrowed her eyes at him.

"Who do you think you are?" She hissed.

"I am the man who has been lost since he left Port Angeles, who has wished every fucking day that he could turn back time, who would give anything to have the love of his life love him back again. I love her and I won't let her go…not again. And if you have a problem with that then too damn bad. I am not going anywhere. Deal with it." Edward hissed back.

"No…you are the fuck up who lied to her, then abandoned her and left town with not even a goodbye, nice to know you, kiss my ass, or anything. Do you really think your feelings are at the top of her list of things not to hurt? Please. Are you really that stupid? Wait don't answer that. I already know the answer…yes you are."

"She loved me once, she can love me again."

"She is with Jasper now." Rose lied.

"Really?" Edward asked.

"Yes, really."

"Bullshit. She is not."

"Yes she is." Rose got up and stormed around the desk and stood nose to nose with him.

"No she is not." He said.

"Is too."

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Hey, Edward do you have…" James stopped in mid- sentence. "Um…sorry. I didn't realize I had walked into the day care center. My bad."

"Shut it. James, meet Dr. Rosalie Hale…professional pain in my ass." Edward introduced them.

"I wouldn't go anywhere near your ass, Cullen. Just stay away from Bella." Rose stormed past James.

"Whoa, what the hell was that about?" James asked Edward.

"That was Bella's best friend, who traveled all the way here to kick my ass." Edward replied.

"She has a lot of people in her corner, huh?"

"Yeah. Any advice on how to get through them?" Edward asked.

***WAN***

Bella rolled her neck around trying to loosen her tense muscles. The surgery was amazing but also long and tedious. It was also necessary in order to avoid Edward…again. She hasn't had to use this many avoidance manuevers since the first time she had met him. Was her life always going to be so complicated? Her question was answered when she saw Edward at the nurse's station handing a chart back to a nurse. He looked up and saw her. Her eyes widened and she turned tail and ran…well walked fast…back the way she had come.

"Bella!" He shouted gaining on her. Damn that man could move.

"Go away!" She hissed behind her shoulder.

"Will you stop?"

"No!"

She saw a door slightly open on the left and she darted for it. She rushed through the door and slammed it, leaning against it breathing hard. She closed eyes sprang open when she heard a voice say…

"May I help you Dr. Swan?"

Bella looked at Alice Brandon, who in turn looked very amused.

Shit!

Wonder what Alice has to say...
