Chapter 2: Arguments

AN:

Hey guys, I decided to update. I love the reviews, please keep with coming! They keep me inspired to write. No one wants to write a story no one wants to read. Tell me if anyone starts getting OOC. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

"I have to get a mammogram tomorrow." If he had a heart, I'm sure it would have skipped a few beats right then. Slowly, he tilted my face up to his.

"You have to what!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why the hell do you need a mammogram? You're only 18!" Edward roared pulling me away from my comfortable hiding place on his chest.

"Yeah well you can go yell at my aunt, my great grandmother, and two cousins for this. Now since they all died of breast cancers it "runs in our family." I mumbled back at him.

"Bella isn't it bad enough they are dead, and now you want to sick the wrath of an angry vampire on them?" I glared up at him and smiled sarcastically.

"It's not even a big deal Edward. I go in, I get it over and done with, and then I'm good for another year." It was impossible to reason with him.

"I can believe you are going to do this, having a breast exam! Not to mention the fact that a total stranger is going to watch as you get your chest smashed betwe-"

"I'm UNCOMFORTABLE ENOUGH AS IT IS I DON'T NEED YOU TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME; I've been doing this since I was 16!" Ugghhh…the last thing I wanted was to hear Edward talking about my chest like that! I sighed heavily, trying to get the blush in my cheeks to go away.

"This is completely unnecessary" he grumbled turning over on his back and running his hand through his hair.

"You know for someone who is so concerned about my safety you are very adamant about not letting me go. I mean is a fairly painless procedure."

"Fairly painless, it is very painless. People barely even feel it!" he assumed. I turned over so I wasn't facing him anymore, hiding my face in my pillow in humiliation.

"Yeah well… the less you have the more it hurts…" Edward let out a soft chuckle and pulled me toward him, turning me around and placing a small apologetic kiss on my lips. I pouted.

"You see I can't understand why my shy, self conscious little Bella wants to go out and expose herself to a complete stranger." I said nuzzling his face in the crook of my neck.

"Well it's either that or deat-" I stopped myself. Death…DEATH! That's what I wanted wasn't it. Well no death exactly, but to be dieing so Edward would change me. I groaned in "defeat" and stroked his arm. "Alright, fine. You win I won't have the stupid thing." Edward grinned triumphantly for a few moments, but then when his male ego subsided he began to stare at me skeptically. I decided to play dumb. "What?"

"That was far too easy." He thought aloud. I pretended to be taken aback. It didn't seem to fool him this time. "What are you plotting?" It was so intense, and hard to keep from caving with him staring at me so forcefully. I bit my lip nervously.

"N-nothing." I tried, smiling panicky. He studied my face for a while, trying to figure me out. It didn't take long. Far quicker then I could follow he was off my bed, pacing the room with his hand rubbing his temples. I sat up quietly and waited for the blow up.

"GOD DAMNIT BELLA! Why do you have to think like that! It's so comforting to know that I not only have to protect you from the world, and the occasional civilian from you, but now I have to protect YOU FROM YOURSELF! How can you actually WANT TO DIE!" He scream whispered as not to wake the now heavily snoring Charlie.

"I don't want to die," I stated quietly eyes fixed on the bed in front of me, and then slowly upwards to look at him. "All I want is to be with you." This didn't please him. I mean I assume it was pleasing to know that I loved him that much, but it didn't help his argument.

"Alice didn't see anything about you dieing of breast cancer," he resolved, "so the test is unnecessary."

"Alice has never had visions about humans dieing of natural causes." I pointed out quickly, hoping to foil his plans of winning this argument. It did seem to stop him for a bit. "Its ones test, I'll be gone only a few hours. AND NO YOU CAN'T COME!" I exclaimed when I saw him start to interrupt. "If I find out you followed me within ten miles of the place I'll kill you."

"That would be very hard, especially for you my dear." He pointed out, a cocky half smile on his face.

"Not if I am as pissed of as I will be if you follow." I muttered turning out the light and climbing to bed exhausted. Edward took his position at my side and laughed at my very witty retort.

"My fiery little angel," He chuckled as I settled in for the night. Blind in the dark, I lifted my head up for a kiss which I received immediately after "asking". I held as still as I could and until we parted. After, I fell into a weary sleep, brought on by the dread of tomorrow's events, and the content feeling of being complete, of being in love.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT! I'll UPDATE AS SOON AS I GET SOME MORE GOOD REVIEWS!
