AN: Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight….but she stole some of my ideas!
AN 2: This story was written before the release of Breaking Dawn, but does contain some Chapter 1 spoilers!!
Chapter 4 – Staying Over.
(Ooh! Listen to we intertwined by The Hush Sound after reading this chapter!)
Edward and I spent the rest of the day in the meadow. I was blissfully happy. Now that I knew Edward wanted this I was beginning to feel excited. We were going to be a family!
Edward, himself, was ecstatic! He laughed all day long and never took the smile off his face.
We were still lying in the long grass. I had my head on his snow-cold chest and he had his arms wrapped firmly around my waist.
The sun was beginning to set as we lay there peacefully. We watched it in a comfortable silence. Each lost in our own thoughts.
"Twilight." Edward murmured after a while. I realized I had my eyes closed. I opened them and tried to sit up. Edward pulled me into a sitting position. I was really tired despite the fact that it was still early.
"Charlie's gonna be home soon." I mumbled, yawning. Edward chuckled at how tired I was.
"Come on, I'll bring you to my house." He whispered into my neck as he swung me into his arms.
"What about Charlie?" I objected sleepily. He handed me his phone and stood me on the grass.
"Call him." He offered.
I dialled the number for the station. It rang twice. Charlie was the one who answered.
"Forks police department. Chief Swan speaking, what's your emergency?"
"Hey, Dad."
"Bella? Hi honey."
"Hey, um Dad? I'm staying in Edward's tonight okay?"
"Bella!" Charlie moaned. "Who else is going to be there?"
I sighed. Charlie hated the fact that Edward and I were actually allowed to spend time together, now that we're married.
"Everyone Dad."
"Carlisle and Esme?"
"Yes Dad." I confirmed, rolling my eyes at Edward. He grinned.
"Well, okay then." She grumbled, grudgingly.
"Thanks Charlie." I said.
"Sure. I'll see you tomorrow Bells."
"Bye Dad."
"Be good!" he warned.
"Sure, sure." I laughed, hanging up.
Edward scooped me up into his arms, again, and ran through the trees. We were at the car within minutes and he strapped me in.
He kissed my forehead gently.
"I love you, my Isabella." He breathed against my skin. His cool sweet breath making me dizzy. I inhaled deeply.
"Me too." I whispered softly. He grinned again and shut the door, appearing at the other side of the car almost simultaneously.
I must have dozed off because Edward was gently shaking me awake. My eyes fluttered open.
"We're here love." He murmured. I shivered as the cool air blew around him and into the car. I groaned and put my arms around his neck, closing my eyes again and not making any effort to get out of the car.
He just laughed softly and lifted me out effortlessly.
"Hey Guys!" Alice said brightly, making me jump.
"Alice, Shh, please." Edward scolded quietly. Like she couldn't see me 'asleep' in his arms. But she did whisper. "Oh sorry."
Edward laughed quietly, and the sound made butterflies flood to my throat.
"Yes, she told me everything." I hadn't heard Alice speak; maybe she was talking in her head. It annoyed me when they did that sometimes.
It was warmer now and I was placed on something soft. The couch, I realized.
"Bella, love, you need to eat something. You haven't eaten all day." Edward's honey smooth voice was right at my ear.
I groaned.
"Go away." I grumbled rolling myself over so that I was lying on the couch rather than sitting.
Alice giggled.
"Bella, you don't want to get weak. You need to eat." Edward insisted. I frowned.
"Oh Edward, let her sleep. That's what she needs most right now," Esme's sweet motherly voice called,
"But Esme, She's-" he was cut off suddenly by a very annoyed Alice.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! Don't you dare tell her yet!" she yelled.
"Ugh!" I moaned.
"Don't tell me what?" Esme asked at the same time that Edward said. "Now look what you've done!"
Edward scooped me up off the couch, finally giving in I hoped.
"Nothing Esme." Alice said sweetly. "Edward's just being an idiot."
I heard a light thud.
"Ow! Alice! Be careful, I'm holding Bella!" Edward moaned, his velvety voice frustrated.
I put my hands over my ears and frowned, my eyes still closed. The three of them laughed quietly.
Finally I was safely tucked in Edward's bed, but I was still uncomfortable. Edward seemed to sense this and I felt a gentle tugging on my jeans. They were slid off, quickly replaced by soft pyjama bottoms.
Edward gently sat me up so I was resting on his chest while he changed my top.
When I was pyjamafied, he laid me back down and pulled the covers over me.
"Sleep well, my angel." He whispered as I drifted into what I hope would be a peaceful nights sleep.
There ya go. Another chapter. I know it's kind of pointless at the moment but I need it for the story to work out…sorta….anyway don't forget to review. Reviews make me happy, and a happy me types a lot faster! grins
