To the first person who reviewed chapter 27: decadenceofmysoul: First off, AWESOME name. Love it! Also thank you for your amazing review. I am glad that you like Edward speaking different languages. I do too.

Edward and I quietly walked into Charlie's room. Edward had told me that he was asleep so we crept into the room and sat down on the couch. Edward reached into the warmer and pulled out the container of soup. I took it and placed it on the tray next to the bed. Gently I pulled the lid off and blew the steam toward dad.

It worked. Two minutes later dad was waking up and reachimg blindly for the soup.

"Hi daddy!" I said as I sat down next to him. He blinked and yawned. "Bella?" "The one and only Isabella Swan at your service." He blinked and stretched before wincing. "Yeah... You might want to be careful when you stretch pop. Don't need you breaking another rib or puncturing another lung." He narrowed his eyes at me.

I just smiled, stood up and started raising the bed to where he could eat. "We brought some more soup."

His eyes widened and he reached for the bowl. "Food!" I chuckled and moved the tray infront of him. He dug in.

"So, what have you done today while I have been holed up in this hell hole?"

"Let's see... First, there was making out with Edward, second,-"

"Neh! TMI."

"-I found out that I totally love it when Edward speaks different languages."

"Stop please..." Dad begged coering his ears.

"Third," I ignored him and continued. This was payback for his stunt earlier. "I got tossed in the creek by Peter."

Maybe I should have told that better...at least after dad had not had soup in his mouth. Poor dad started choking.

Edward was next to us in a second and helped him lean forward. "Bella, hand me some of his juice." I did and he held the cup to him. "Drink Charlie. Just small sips."

Dad struggled to but finally he was able to. His coughing slowed down and he was finally able to lean back. "Sorry dad. Didn't mean to make you choke." I really hadn't.

He gave me a small smile as he held his side. "That's okay baby girl, I you just surprised me that's all." He turned to Edward, who was back to sitting on the couch reading a book. "Thank you Edwin."

"It's Edward, Charlie. Not sure Ed, Eddie or Edwin. Please get it right." He said in a cold voice not looking up from the book. I sighed, he did have a reason to be cold. I just wish that dad wasn't the reason why.

"So, dad, did you get to visit with Sam and Emily?" He snorted. "After Carlisle chewed me out I was tired so they only stayed for about thirty minutes before I fell asleep."

"Carlisle chewed you out?" He nidded and continued eating. "He was worse then you. But I deserved it."

I looked over at Edward and he had a slight smirk on his face. "What are you smirking at Edward?"

Ah if only you could read thoughts like I can. Charlie is thinking about what Carlisle told him. Dad is very protective of us 'kids'. Though truthfully, I have never seen him that pissed, not counting the time we were hunting James.

Everything good though?

Yeah love. Charlie was acting so out of character that he lowered the morphine drip.

I chuckled. "Carlisle lowered the morphine drip?"

Dad nodded. "Apparently I was out of it or something. I have no idea what he was thinking. I was perfectly fine."

Edward and I shared a look. "No you weren't." We said at the same time. "Dad, do you remeber what you said to Edward this morning?"

He looked confused for a minute. "Thank you for taking good care of my daughter and bringing her here?"

Once again Edward and I shared a look while shaking our heads in wonder. "Not even close."

"Oh... What did I do? Did I do something bad that made Edward hate me?"

I couldn't help it, I fell out of the chair and doubled over laughing. I could hear Edward laughing too. "Don't worry about it Charlie. It was nothing." He said helping me up.

He tensed, "Jacob black has just entered the building."

I placed my hand on his shoulder. "He would be stupid to try and start something in a hospital."

There was a knock on the door nd Edward opened it with a glare on his face.

"Hey leechface, how's it hanging? Or did the Chief actually burn that part already?" Jacob asked as he sauntered on in and sat down in the chair I had just vacated. "Hey Chief, just wanted to comeby and shake your hand. You are my new hero!" He said shaking dad's hand.

Charlie looked lost. "What did I do?"

Edward POV:

After a couple of hours visiting Charlie I asked Bella if she wanted to go watch a movie.

"What movie?" She asked taking hold of my hand as we walked to the car.

"I don't know. Do any of the movies that just came out sound good to you?"

"Well... The trailer for Thor looks amazing."

I nodded. "It does. There is a three oclock showing in Port Angeles if you want to go."

She looked at her watch, "It is two right now and it takes fourty five minutes to get there. Thought with the way you drive... Okay. I would love to go to the movies with you."

I smiled and kissed her. "Good. Don't forget we have another meeting with the tribe tonight at seven."

Her eyes widened. "I forgot! We need to stop of on the way back for some food is that okay?" I opened the door for her and nodded. "Sure. we will be back in Forks by five. Plenty of time." I closed the door and got in the driver side.

"Um Edward...?"

"Yes love?"

"Am I going to have to start saying the rosery the whole way there?"

I raised an eyebrow at her. "You, who drives a motorcycle and ride it at speeds near ninety, are now afraid of me when I drive my car at a hundred?"

"Yup. i don't have to worry about my motorcycle wrapping around me if I get in an accident. I just have to watch road conditions."

I narrowed my eyes. "I really don't like you riding that death trap." Annnd she's glaring at me. Open mouth and insert foo- actually no. I stand by what I just said.

"You also do not like me driving my truck."

"Because it is a piece of junk!"

"A piece of junk that is safer then this here Volvo! It's frame is sturdier and can actually survive a head on with another. This car would be flattened."

"It is a piece of junk. It has no safety features."

...her smile is unnerving me...

"You really think that I can't be best friends with a mechanic and not learn a few things?"

I pulled over to the side of the road and parked it. "Explain."

She smirked. "No. I think I will let you figure out what I am talking about."

"Bella..."

She smiled, "My truck is more safe then this dinky car."

"This isn't dinky."

She snorted. "Compared to my truck...it is."

"Don't go insulting my car love."

"Then don't go insulting mine."

"But-"

"But nothing. If it makes you feel better you can have Rosalie check it out."

I made to turn the car around when she placed her hand on mine."After our date." I sighed and smiled. "After our date." I agreed as I pulled back onto the road while pulling my phone out and hitting seven. "Hey Rose... Thanks. We will see you there at five thirty then."

I hung up and kissed her hand. "So... Thor?"

"Thor!"

I turned and looked at her. "Quick question, might possibly be stupid but... Are you sure that you want to go to the movies wearing sweats, and a baggy tee."

She smiled as she grabbed my leather jacket and put it on. "Yes I am." She held her phone up. "One...two...three!"

.

"Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl"

Let me guess,Alice.

She didn't even look at the screen as she answered it. "Right on time as usual Alice. I have a deal to make. You let me go to the movies as I am and I will let you choose what I will wear to the meeting tonight. No dresses, no skirts no heels. You just get to choose." She...hung up... On the pixie?

"So, Thor?" She smirked as she turned her phone off and put it in her pocket. My girl is crazy.

One the way back we stopped off at the grocery store. "Why are you getting fifteen steaks, ten packs of hot dogs, ten pounds of ground meat, and ten pounds of chicken? There is no way those mu... Guys can eat all of that." I asked amazed as she put all of that in the cart. "Is this everything?"

"You saw them Monday. Nope. Gotta get the buns, cokes, bottled water, veggies, and... Aha! Desserts!"

I pulled my phone out and hit three. Esme's cell. "Hey mom... How do you feel about...of course Alice. I will let her know. Hold on..." She looked at me in question. "Mom wants to know what desserts she needs to make?"

She smiled, "Any pie or cake Esme. They're not picky. Thank you!"

I hung up the phone and placed it back in my pocket. "Alice told her but she just wanted to make sure. She is going to make ten pies. Is that enough or does she need to make more?"

She bit her lip. "Ten should be good... But I will buy three more just in case. Seth and Quil have a big sweettooth."

I nodded and we continued shopping. A thought hit me. "Bella... You bought this much lasttime right?"

She nodded. "How did you pay for it?"

She smiled and patted my shoulder. "I didn't." Great... The dogs food was bought with my card. "This is payback forme being a bastard isn't it?"

She shookher head and kissed my cheek."No. It was a last minute decision and I didn't have enought money in my account for it. I fully intend to pay you back one day. Phil is paying for all of this."

I sighed and shook my head. "You pay me back and I will buy you a new car sooner than I was planning."

She froze. "No paying you back... Got it." Damn... I was hoping she would fall for that.

"Oh and Edward," she said placing the things on the conveyer belt, "you will have to do better than that."

Damnit.

"Bella?" Dang it, Jessica is here. "Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital?"

Bella smiled at her. "We have been there most of the day. Edward decided to cheer me up by taking me to the movies."

"How sweet." Not. Bet they weren't even at the hospital. Bet they were playing hooky. Oh to play hooky with Edward Cullen.

I mentally cringed as I stopped Bella from paying, instead I reached into her wallet and pulled out my credit card. "Je ne dérange pas de payer l'amour." (I don't mind paying love.)

Oh my God! He speeks French too! What did he say?

Bella didn't need to understand what I said, she got the gist of it. "This one time Edward. No more."

"Works for me." I said happily as I swiped the card and signed on it. I was just happy she let me pay. I helped place the food back in the cart. "It was nice seeing you Jessica, we'll see you tomorrow." Bella said as she took the recipt.

"Um..yeah. Oh! Coach Conner is giving a quiz tomorrow over chapters twenty and twenty one."

"Thanks." Bella said as she laced her arm thru mine as I pushed the cart away. Once we got things into the trunk she wrapoed her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek. "Next time you do that Edward, I will bump into your car with my truck. You know that I do not like people paying for my stuff."

I let out a small groan of annoyance. "Bella, let me clarify something real quick. Your name has been added to my bank account and to the family's account. You even have your own personal account that automatically gets a few thousand every month. I know how much you hate having other people pay so now you have your own. Carlisle keeps your debit and credit cards in the family safe. They are yours when you feel like you are ready for them. Your cell phone is on our contract. Your name is also on the title to my cars. So, techenically, you are spending your own money, I'm not paying for anything."

I knew that I had shocked her when her mouth opened and her arms dropped. I gently closed her mouth and kissed her ear. "Everything I have Bella, is yours. I want to spoil you rotten but I know that you wont let me. I want to wrap you up in bubnle wrap and protect you from everything, but I know that will piss you off and I don't want that. So, this is me giving you your freedom. I won't smother you with expensive gifts all the time, but I do want to be able to buy you things just because I want to."

I stopped when she hugged me tightly and burried her face in my neck. "I'm sorry.." What? "Why are you sorry?" "Because I'm mean." Impossible. "You could never be mean Bella. You can be frightening when pissed off but that passes quickly. You do not have a mean bone in your body."

I kissed her cheeks and whipped a few tears away. "I didn't say all that to make you feel bad Love. I said so that you would know how serious I am about you." I glanced at my watch and sighed. "We need to go, Rosalie will be there soon."

She nodded and whipped her eyes. "Okay.. Love you Edward." I smiled and kissed her. "I know. I love you too."
