Chapter 3
EPOV
Bella fell asleep in my arms around 2 AM. I wasn't tired yet, so I stayed up and watched her sleep. She was curled into a ball on my chest, I was playing with a strand of her long hair and humming softly. "Edward…" she whispered. I looked at her, half expecting her to answer. When she didn't I chuckled softly to myself. "Edward, I love you." I smiled. "I love you too, my Bella." I whispered softly and pushed a stray strand of hair out of her face. She sighed and smiled.
"And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in gray,
And the sun will set for you."
I sang softly in her ear. She stirred and opened her eyes slowly. "Good morning, love." she looked at the clock and grimaced. I looked over too. It was nearly 8. Wow. I'd stayed up all night, just watching her sleep. "Good morning." she smiled and sat up. "How did you sleep?" she asked, lightly brushing some hair from my forehead. "I- wonderfully." she looked at me, questions in her eyes. "Edward Anthony Masen! You didn't sleep did you?" she accused. "Come on, lets get you some breakfast," I laughed, poking her stomach. She pouted and let me pick her up.
I carried her down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen where Alice and Rose were sitting sipping their coffee. "Good morning Bella!" Alice greeted happily. I set Bella carefully in a chair by Rosalie and ruffled Alice's hair. "Love you too sis." she swatted my hand away and stuck her tongue out at me. Rosalie smiled softly at me. "Finally." she muttered under her breath. Bella poked her side. "What was that, hun?" Rosalie laughed. "Finally!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Alice laughed. Rose lazily slung a arm around Bella's shoulder and kissed her forehead. "Emmett and Jasper had made a bet about when you two would finally stop being stupid and just admit that you are completely and utterly in love with each other." Rose smiled fondly at Bella. My Bella sighed contently and leaned into Rose's embrace. Alice sighed and hopped onto their laps.
I quietly snuck out of the kitchen and left them to their girl moment. Em and Jazz were waiting in the hall by the kitchen smiling broadly. "Congrats, bro!" Em slapped me on the back. "Dude, finally." Jasper laughed. I groaned. "C'mon, Jazz, please don't sound like your sister! I love you, and her….but really….I don't want to listen to the same thing." Jasper crossed his index and middle fingers. "Twin telepathy, bro." he smiled. Emmet put his hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes, completely serious. "Are you using protection?" I burst out laughing with Jasper. Emmett laughed too and spoke through his laughs. "I'm serious, man. I don't want my little sis getting…you know…all pregnant and stuff…" That only made it worse. We were now rolling on the floor clutching our sides and there were tears rolling down our cheeks.
There was a flash and musical giggling and fast but soft footsteps running off. We all hopped up and ran in the direction we heard the giggling coming from. "Bella, Bella, come out from wherever you are." there was a shriek and then there was more running. Then there was a loud noise and a surprised scream. "Bella, come on…get up!" Alice was giggling. "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!" Bella suddenly yelled. Then Rose came out from a corner with a threatening look on her face. Her right hand was behind her back. She laughed wickedly and drew her hand slowly from her back. There was a bad of skittles. She pelted them at us. "TASTE THE FUCKING RAINBOW!!!" Emmett laughed. "That's my girl." he muttered, laughing. Then he took a step toward her. "Rosie, baby, have you been drinking this morning?" She laughed and ran. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" This scream wasn't for fun or of surprise, it was of pain. We stopped for a moment and ran to where we heard it.
