A/N: I am so, so sorry for the wait for this chapter, guys. I have a serious case of writers block, and it took me quite some time to knock out this chapter. If you have any ideas, please send them to me, I am desperate. But hopefully the updates should go back to being every other day. Thank you so much for your patience. Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks for sticking with me.

Disclaimer. My name still is not Stephenie Meyer, which also, sadly, means I still do not own Twilight.

Edward's POV

May 20, 2010

I'd been warned. Kate was back in Boston for the day. I'd been stationed down in the ER for the day, since she would be upstairs. She had meetings with the program directors; she was transferring to one of the hospitals in Seattle. I stayed busy in the ER for the better part of the day, but I was buttoning up my shirt in the locker room when I felt fingernails rake across my back.

Creepy.

I spun around, and there she was.

Kate. I had to choke back vomit in my mouth.

"I knew you'd be here waiting for me," she attempted a seductive voice, but it wasn't happening.

"Look, Kate, I don't know in how many different ways and languages to tell you this, but. I. Am. Not. Interested. I am still happily engaged, and I am getting married." I tried desperately to calm down and keep my temper. It seemed to just spur her on.

"You say that now. But you'll feel differently once you're married. You'll seek me out, and beg me to have an affair with you. A girl can't wait around forever, Edward", she warned me.

I rolled my eyes internally.

"Kate, don't make me call security. Please leave me alone. I have patients". I told her, finally fed up. If I had to talk to her anymore, I may do something I know I will regret later. She nodded, but pressed herself into me, before I could push her away, she leaned closer to whisper in my ear, attempting, and once again failing, to be seductive.

"Don't play games with someone that can play them better than you." She warned before stalking away. I rolled my eyes.

Whatever the hell that meant.

Bella's POV

Finals were finally over, and it felt wonderful. Edward and I were moving into an apartment in Rosalie and Emmett's building soon. Actually, I was beginning to move in today, and he was wrapping some things up at the hospital. Alice and I were driving in her car and Jasper and Emmett were following behind in a small U-Haul. Edward was moving in about a week. He still had a few things to wrap up in Boston, first. My internship started on June 4th and I couldn't be more excited about anything. Except maybe getting this car ride over.

Do you want to know what's stupid when traveling with Emmett? Giving him a walkie-talkie so he could keep in contact with Alice and I in case there were any emergencies, or if we got separated. We were only thirty minutes into the trip, and Alice and I sighed as we heard his voice over the radio for at least the tenth time. I growled.

"Yes, Emmett," I said through clenched teeth.

"Hey! USE THE CODE NAMES I GAVE YOU! WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED?! WE COULD BE BEING FOLLOWED!" he yelled into the walkie talkie. Alice and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes.

"I'm really tempted to throw that at their window" Alice laughed.

"Now, try that again," Emmett scolded. He sounded like a three year old.

"Emmett," I sighed, "I don't remember the damn code names".

"We're K-Fed and you are Britney". He said, matter of factly. Alice nearly swerved the car into oncoming traffic as she tore the walkie talkie from my hands to talk to Emmett.

"Oh HELL no!" she yelled into the walkie talkie.

Finally, someone was putting an end to this.

"You did not just call my beautiful yellow PORSCHE Britney fucking Spears."

"Fine. We will be Britney and you can be K-Fed", Emmett rationalized, only pissing Alice off more. Before she could respond, Emmett came back on.

"Oh, and Jasper says we're supposed to say 'over' when we're done speaking, Alice. Over".

"What the FUCK, Jasper. Over." She yelled into the walkie talkie. I laughed. Why were they all taking this so seriously? What kind of family am I marrying into?

"Fine, Jasper says you can be eagle eye and we can be Boy Scout." Emmett said, sounding slightly embarrassed. Alice and I both burst into laughter.

"I think I liked Britney and K Fed better than that," I told Alice. She nodded in agreement.

"I don't understand how Rose puts up with this," Alice said, still laughing. She turned up the radio a little louder.

"We are taking your silence to mean that you like the new code names", Emmett said again.

"You forgot to say over, over". Alice giggled into the walkie talkie.

This was going to be a really long ride.

We finally arrived in New York, after what seemed like days in the car. Emmett and Alice fought over code names the entire ride, it never let up. I drifted off after "hooker" and "business man". Yeah, they got lamer as time went on. I think Emmett even suggested "Cinder-fuckin'-ella" and "Prince fucking Charming" at one point. Rosalie was waiting outside the apartment building for us. It didn't take us too long to completely unload Alice's car as well as the U-Haul. Alice and I filled Rose in briefly on the car ride, and she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Did you know he's on X-Box Live probation? For a week? For excessive swearing?" She said, cocking an eyebrow. Alice and I laughed.

"I should be more surprised than I am, right?" I asked, linking my arm through hers as we walked down the hallway to my…well, Edward's and my new apartment. As I walked in, it took a moment for it to sink in that this was all really happening. We all spent the day unpacking, and it was slowly starting to look more like home. Edward had ordered the basic furniture, and it had been delivered a few days before hand, but it was still a little bare with just my stuff in it. Our bedroom furniture was my favorite. It was a large, cherry wood four poster bed. The bedding, which Rosalie had picked out, was a white duvet comforter with red designs. Which, Jasper and Emmett argued over all morning.

Emmett said it was blood. Jasper said it was a village.

Yeah. Alice, Rose and I didn't even know how to respond to that.

The TV room was fully furnished as well. There was a large, floor to ceiling window along one wall, with red drapes. Also Rosalie. On the wall next to it, there was a large, cherry, entertainment center with a far too large TV and far too much stereo equipment.

Emmett…

I unpacked my DVD's onto the shelf, and laughed to myself. I don't think I'd be watching a movie without Edward or Emmett. After I was done unpacking those, I moved onto the pictures. I had so many…Edward and I, Edward and his family, his family, my family…it was insane. I scattered them throughout the apartment. Placing my favorites of Edward and I in our room.

I was never going to get tired of saying that.

After a few exhausting hours of unpacking, we went over to Emmett's and Rosalie's for dinner. The girls were in the kitchen while Jasper and Emmett were in the living room playing Call of Duty. Rose handed me a glass of wine as she and Alice went to sit with the boys in the living room. I couldn't sit, I was too excited. I wandered around the foyer and kitchen looking at all of the pictures in their apartment. I'd never noticed it before, but there were hundreds of pictures of Rosalie and Emmett, and they were everywhere. I only saw three pictures that weren't exclusively of the two of them. One was a family picture taken at their wedding, another was of the eight of us (Jasper, Alice, Rose, Emmett, Edward, me, Carlisle and Esme), and the last was one of just Carlisle and Esme. I jumped when I heard Emmett's voice behind me.

"Whatcha lookin' at?"

"Um…your pictures…there sure are a lot". I teased him, taking a sip of my wine. He chuckled.

"Shut up. We're a very vain couple. We like to look at ourselves," he teased, refilling my wine glass. I smiled. Before I could say anything, Rosalie yelled for Emmett from the living room.

"Honey, will you put in the Michael Bublé CD? We need some mood music for dinner!" she asked. Emmett and I rolled our eyes. We were just doing pizza.

"Who the fuck is Michael Bublé?" He asked me. I sighed, walking back to the bedroom to find the CD for him.

Just then, my cell phone rang in my back pocket.

"Hello?" I answered, forgetting to check caller ID.

"Hey there love. How's our new apartment?" he asked.

"Hey, you!" I was surprised to hear from him. I thought he had a long shift at the hospital. "It's wonderful Edward, oh, I am so excited." I gushed. I found the CD and walked back out to hand it to Emmett. He stared at the cover like he had never seen it before. I have no idea how that was even possible. Every time I was here for dinner Rosalie put that CD on.

"Good, I'm glad. You had a good day then?" he asked. He sounded stressed.

"For the most part. The ride up here was interesting…Emmett and walkie talkies".

"Oh no, never a good combination," Edward laughed.

"Exactly. But other than that things have been good. I'm all moved in! So you and your crap should move in too."

"I will love, very soon. That's actually why I was calling, I'm coming a few days earlier than I originally thought. I'll be there tomorrow actually. Well, tomorrow night. I'll have to take a nap before I can come." He told me, and I nearly squealed in excitement.

"Edward, that's amazing! I'm so excited! But wait, what happened? Is everything okay?"

"Yes, love, don't worry. Everything is just fine. I just had another run in with Kate though, and she threatened me, nothing too bad, but she's been fired." He told me. Oh no. I knew she was bad news.

"Oh Edward, are you okay? She didn't hurt you or anything, right?" I asked, frantically.

"Love, please calm down, I am just fine, I promise. I just have to stay a few more hours to speak to my boss about what happened and type up a statement. Don't worry about it for another second, my Bella," he reassured.

"Alright, I trust you. So when will you be here?" I said immediately.

"Hopefully tomorrow night, so you'll only need to spend one night there alone. We need to break in that new bed," he said seductively. I groaned.

"Hurry home, then, baby," I said smiling into the phone. This man was so perfect.

"I will. Can you pass me to Jasper? I think he'll need to bring that U-Haul here to help me, I don't think all my stuff can fit into my Volvo". He said, changing the subject abruptly. Oh well, that was probably for the best. I didn't want to get all worked up here and then go back to spend the night alone.

"Sure can." I said, walking into the living room to give Jasper the phone.

"Oh, and Bella?" Edward asked, just before I handed him to Jasper.

"Yeah?"

"Hide the walkie talkies."
