EPOV:

"Thank you so much, doctor," a tearful mother said as she embraced me.

"It really is my pleasure," I answered honestly. I really did like helping young children. Knowing that they would get a chance at a life they deserved was worth the long hours and headaches.

I had just given this couple's young child a new kidney and a new chance at life.

"The surgery went very well and he's just up in recovery now. One of the nurses will clear up all details and questions you have," I told them. Normally I would talk to the families until they had no more questions but I didn't think I could stay awake much longer. I had to get home.

After a few more preliminaries with the couple I made my way into my office.

I sighed loudly as I flopped into my black, leather armchair. I looked around my well decorated, thanks to my mother, office and smiled when my eyes fell upon my favorite picture. It was of Bella and me at one of Alice's many dinner parties. Bella was perched on my back with her arms around my neck, a huge smile plastered on her face. The sun shone brightly making her brown pools light up and her chestnut locks shine. Some days, I couldn't believe how beautiful she was.

I couldn't take it anymore. I had to see her.

I quickly left my office and made my way out to my assistant, Kate.

"Hey, Kate. I'm going to need some time off for a couple of days," I said while inching closer to the doors.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with a cute little brunette would it?" she asked playfully.

"It has everything to do with her," I called over my shoulder as I left. My schedule had already been cleared when I was supposed to go see Bella so it wasn't really a problem.

I ran to my car and drove as quickly as I could, without getting caught, back to my place.

My plan was to pack a quick bag and then head up to Bella's place. Five days was much too long to not see my angel's face.

I made my way to the elevator and rode impatiently, finding it much too slow. It finally reached my apartment floor and I raced to my door, almost breaking the key to get in. Once inside, I quickly made my way to my bedroom, where I stopped dead in my tracks.

There, in my bed, was the most precious sight I had ever seen.

Bella, in my bed, wearing my shirt.

I didn't care how she got here or why she was here in that moment. All I wanted to do was get into bed beside her and hold her. And that is exactly what I did.

I hurriedly removed my dress shirt and replaced my dress pants with pajama pants. I slid into bed with my angel, wrapped my arms around her and instantly felt at home. This is where she was meant to be, safe in my arms.

She moaned sleepily and turned around in my arms where she granted me the gift of looking into her chocolate orbs.

"Edward," she said as she smiled sleepily.

"Shh," I cooed. "Sleep now, love. We can talk in the morning."

"Kay. Love you," she said, pretty much asleep. I chuckled at her adorable sleepy stupor.

"Love you too," I replied, placing a kiss on her forehead. I pulled her tighter to me and she placed her head on my chest, molding to me perfectly.

I sighed happily and closed my eyes, finally able to find the sleep that had evaded me in my time without Bella.

I awoke to the feather light touch of my Bella's fingers tracing aimlessly against my bare chest as the sun poked through the semi-closed blinds.

"You have no idea what that does to me," I mumbled, keeping my eyes closed. She giggled the most adorable laugh as she climbed on top of me. She eagerly attached her lips to my own as we shared a passionate embrace.

"I've missed that," she said breathlessly after we pulled apart.

"I've missed you," I said as I pulled her against my chest. "Five days is much too long."

"Five minutes is too long," she added.

"Never again," I promised.

"Good," she sighed happily.

We lay like that for a while before I remembered something.

"Bella, I thought I made it clear that I do not like you coming up here by yourself," I said as sternly as I could, but because I was so happy to see her wasn't very stern at all.

She blushed and hugged herself to me more tightly. "Sorry," she mumbled into my chest. "I just had to see you."

"I felt the same exact way," I admitted. "I was actually planning on coming up to see you tonight but it seems you beat me to it." I felt her smile into my chest.

She lifted her head to look into my eyes. "Edward," she began nervously. "I- I don't think this is going to work anymore."

Oh, man! I panicked. She's going to end things. I should have made more of an effort to see her. She deserves better than that!

She must have seen the fear in my eyes because she quickly finished her thought.

"Not that, Edward. I mean I don't think us living so far apart is working," she said as she placed a calming hand against my cheek. I visibly relaxed and breathed out a sigh of relief. "Do you really think I could ever leave you?"

"Well what would you think if I started a sentence the way you did?" She giggled.

"I guess you're right."

"What do you propose for the living situation?" I asked.

"Well," she began but instead but her lip without finishing her thought. I groaned.

"Bella, love, please just tell me what you're thinking."

"I was thinking that I could move out here with you," she said so quickly I had to strain to understand. I took a minute to process what she said and then responded.

"No."

"Wh-What?" she stuttered as she began pushing herself off of me. I wrapped my arms around her tighter.

"Let me finish. I will not have you quitting your job and leaving your best friends to be with me," I explained. "It's not fair to you."

"What's not fair to me is seeing you maybe two days a week if I'm lucky," she reasoned.

I nodded in agreement. "I know. That's why I'm going to move up to Manhattan with you and we're going to share a lovely apartment."

"What? Edward, I won't have you leave your job at the hospital for me."

"Bella, there are other positions at other hospitals," I stated. "This is not the first time I've thought about this. I got an offer at Manhattan Clinical Center a couple days ago and I've decided to take it."

"Edward!" she squealed hugging herself to me. "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive, love."

"This is great!" she squealed as she sat up, straddling me. "I have to call Alice and Rose!" she said before placing a kiss on my cheek and going to find her phone in her bag.

She came back to bed, throwing a leg on either side of me and her phone began ringing in her hand before she had a chance to dial.

"Say hello to Alice for me," I said knowing who it was.

"Hey, Alice," Bella called excitedly into the phone. I tuned out most of her conversation, far too entranced with the beauty on top of me to focus on anything else.

Her in my clothes was a sight that I would love to see everyday. I snuck my hands under the hem of the shirt she was wearing and placed my hands in her hips. She gave me a 'no funny business' look but I continued anyway.

I began tickling her stomach lightly, knowing fill well how ticklish she was. As expected she began giggling.

"Yeah, Alice…Stop, Edward!..Yeah, he say's hello," she managed to get out through her giggles.

"Rose! That's great, that's actually why I was calling," she continued, as did I. I began massaging her hips just above the waistband of her pajama pants.

"Uhh," she moaned. "Oh, nothing! Continue, Rose." Bella shot me a icy glare but I just smirked at her.

I left her alone to her conversation for a while but soon had a new idea.

I flipped us gently so that I was hovering above her and began placing kisses down her neck.

"Yes, sure," she said into the phone in a breathy voice.

I smiled as I lifted the hem of her shirt up, exposing some of the flesh on her stomach. I began placing soft, lingering kisses across her stomach. My smile grew as she writhed beneath me.

"Rose, I'm going to have to call you later. Yeah, sure, Bye," she said as she hung up. I looked up and was greeted with a glaring Bella.

"Sorry," I squeaked out before returning to my task of kissing every inch of my Bella.

"Not funny, Masen," Bella said as she pushed me off of her. I rolled to her side as she moved to get up from the bed. I quickly grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her back to me, eliciting a squeal from her.

"Where exactly do you think you are going, love?" I asked in her ear.

"Edward, it's almost noon. I think it's time to get up and start the day," she said but made no move to get out of bed.

"Well, excuse me but I haven't seen my beautiful girlfriend in five days. Is it too much to ask to spend a little time with her in my arms?" I asked as I squeezed around her waist for emphasis.

"Well when you ask like that, I suppose it can be done," she responded back playfully. And that was how we spent most of the morning and into the afternoon. We talked and laughed and kissed and cuddled, making up for all of the time we had spent apart.

At around three o'clock we finally decided that it was time to get up and eat.

"How about," I suggested while nuzzling her neck, "I make you breakfast in bed."

"That sounds wonderful, Edward."

"What would you like?" I questioned.

"Whatever you've got is fine with me," she responded.

"Be right back," I said as I made my way into the kitchen. I was thankful in that moment that my mother had taught me how to cook before I left home. I made Bella some scrambled eggs with a stack of pancakes and bacon with a glass of orange juice for each of us.

"Breakfast is served madame," I called out as I entered my bedroom.

"Oh, wow!" Bella exclaimed as she saw the food on the tray I was bringing to her. She sat up in bed as I placed the tray over her lap. I found a second tray for myself and settled next to her in bed as we ate our breakfast.

"I'm so stuffed," Bella called out as she pushed her food away slightly. I didn't see how she could be full. She didn't even eat half of what I had. She was considerably smaller than me though.

I brought our trays back into the kitchen and lay down next to Bella again.

"Edward," she said quietly after some time, "I haven't stayed in bed all day in a long time. This is really nice."

"I like it too," I replied truthfully. "Oh, what did Alice want earlier?" I asked, remembering.

"It's so exciting!" she squeaked. "Emmett wants to move in with Rose!"

"Really?" I asked. He hadn't mentioned this to me. Then again, I hadn't told him my plans with Bella yet.

"Yeah, that's why he went up to see her this weekend," she explained.

"Looks like we're all moving," I said.

"You do want to live with me, don't you Edward?" Bella asked timidly. "Don't feel like you have to do this."

"Oh, of course I want to live with you, Bella," I responded instantly. "I would like to do nothing more."

"Good," she said convinced. "Now how shall we spend the rest of our day, Mr. Masen?"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe like this," I said as my lips collided with hers.

BPOV:

I had never made a better decision than the one I had made to come and see Edward. I don't know how I made it through the couple of days without seeing him. Thankfully that would no longer be a problem as he was to move in with me.

We spent the few days we had together for this visit mostly inside just wrapped in each other's arms. If we weren't inside we were walking around the beautiful city or eating out at a nice restaurant. It was absolutely the perfect visit.

Unfortunately for us we had jobs to get back to and life to deal with.

I awoke on the last morning of my visit by the sun streaming through the blinds. I turned over and saw Edward's long body sprawled out beside me. All he wore was a pair of flannel pajama bottoms and I had no complaints about it.

His face was turned in my direction and his bronze hair fell messily all over. I reached up and gently brushed it back away from his eyes. He moaned and reached out for me. When his hand made contact with me he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I giggled softly as he rested his head above my heart and I ran my fingers through his hair.

This is how I should wake up every morning. I realized that I would soon get my wish when Edward moved in with me. I sighed contentedly.

I hated that I had to go home today but I did have a job and so did Edward. I knew that he'd want to see some of his friends at the hospital before he left for Manhattan.

"Edward," I whispered. "Edward, it's time to get up."

"No," he grunted. I chuckled and began running my fingers through his hair again.

"Yes, Edward."

"Nope. Staying here with you forever."

"Edward, I have to get my stuff. It's all over this place," I tried to reason.

"Please, Bella, just a couple more hours. I've never slept better in my life," he pleaded. Of course, I couldn't deny him anything.

"Fine," I conceded. "But you have to help me find my stuff later."

"Of course," he mumbled as he snuggled back into my side.

"I really wish I could come back with you for good already," he said as we waited for my train. He'd bought me a train ticket because he didn't want me riding the subway, deeming it unsafe for a person traveling alone.

"I wish you could too," I replied from my place on his lap. My head was lying against his chest as he stroked my back. He knew how hard it was for me to say goodbye to him.

"I'll be back with you before you know it, love," he whispered into my ear. A lone tear escaped my eye as my train pulled into the station.

"I love you," I said as I hugged him tightly before sliding off of his lap.

"I love you too," he responded before I made my way onto the train. I quickly found my seat and the train took off.

I took out my ipod and laughed as the first song came on.

How far do i have to go to get to you

Many the miles

Many the miles

How far do i have to go to get to you

Many the miles

But send me the miles and i'll be happy to follow you, Love

This song pretty much sums up how my relationship was with Edward.

Up until he decided to move in with you! I reminded myself.

Before I knew it I was back in Manhattan and in my apartment.

"I'm home," I called out as I walked through the door.

"In here," Rose called out.

I walked into the living room and was greeted with an unfamiliar sight. Alice was just lying across the couch with a sad look on her face and Rose was doing much the same but across a lounge chair.

"What's wrong, guys?" I asked, worried. Very rarely did I see a quiet Alice.

"Nothing," Alice began. "It's just getting harder and harder to say goodbye to Jasper every time I see him."

"I feel the same way about Emmett," Rose stated.

"I know what you mean," I agreed as I dropped down to the floor beside the couch.

"I just can't wait to move out of here," Alice said.

"Well thanks, Al," I said dryly.

"Oh, you know I didn't mean it like that. I'm just so ready to be married to Jasper already," she explained.

"Yeah," Rose and I sighed. I knew we were all tired of saying goodbye to our loves for days at a time.

"Ugh," Alice sighed. "I hate being sad. Let's do something fun."

"What do you propose?" Rose asked.

"Let's have a girls night!" Alice squealed excitedly and for once I didn't groan at this idea. If anyone knew how to brighten a mood it was Alice.

We quickly moved the furniture out of the way and set up for our girls' night. Alice pulled out all the stops. We picked out movies to watch, made food and brought out nail polish and magazines.

"I feel like I'm in high school again," I said giggling, after our first movie and first coat of paint.

"Yeah," Rose agreed. "All we need to do is prank call Eric Yorkie." We all laughed at the memory.

"Oh, I remember that!" Alice called out between laughs. "We convinced him that Bella was in love with him!"

"Yeah," Rose continued, tears streaming down her face she was laughing so hard. "And he showed up at school the next Monday with like hundreds of flowers for her!"

"I'm really going to miss this," I said after our laughter finally died down.

"Me too," Rose and Alice called in unison.

"We have to promise that we'll be sure to make time for each other when we move out," I suggested.

"Of course," Alice said pulling me into a hug.

"Of course," Rose echoed following suit and hugging me as well.

"Let's have girl time at least once a week," Rose suggested. Alice and I nodded in agreement before settling back into our girls' night,

I really was going to miss seeing Rose and Alice everyday but nothing could hold me back from the life with Edward that I was beyond ready for.

a/n: How cute is a sleepy Edward? Well I find him adorable! And girls' nights are the best!
