A/N: HEY GUYS!!!!

Sorry it has been a little bit of a wait…

This was my beta, whose penname has changed yet again because she can't just stick with one, lol , her new penname is 'justaskathena' without the little

' ' of course. We had both been having some issues with this chapter. We are freshmen in high school so we haven't experienced, well anything in this chapter, which I guess is always the case because we don't live on our own, or haven't fallen madly in love, but that you can guess at, this chapter though has stuff that we can't really even know just how things happen, and how different thoughts are like in these situations. I will not give away anything right now but once you read I think you will be able to see why we could have some issues. Thank you to xXEmmexplosionXx (sorry if I spelled that wrong…. I can't remember the exact spelling…) for helping us!! We really couldn't have done it without you!!

And we were delayed also because it has taken me a good week to edit this. I know I know. But, I have a good reason! I have been super busy lately. My grandpa had quadruple bypass open heart surgery on the 14th and so I had been spending time with family last weekend before his surgery. And I had a bunch of stuff to do and homework and stuff during the week. And then on the 14th I had school then was at the hospital until 9 and then had school on Friday and then I went to the hospital til 8 and then I came back to my grandparent's house, and worked worked worked on it until midnight and then finished it up this morning and now I am posting it!!!

Anyway, I will stop rambling on this author note so you can read it! And then I will finish my ramblings on the bottom!

Lucky Coincidence – Chapter 8 – Stay

I quickly snapped the phone the phone and hastily shoved it in my purse, frantically picking up all of my belongings.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward asked, concerned, his eyebrows scrunching up on his forehead in confusion.

"Angela's baby is coming! I have to go to the hospital!" I told him as I stood from my chair. "I am so sorry!" I gave him a pleading look.

"Oh, Bella, it's no problem, she's your best friend. Of course you need to go. But, you seem kind of freaked out, and you don't have a car here, so would you like me to drive you to the hospital?" Edward smiled at me and I felt relieved, I would have someone there with me. I had never been good with blood and I shuddered at the thought of having to, uh, see everything. I mean scary much? I don't know how women pop those damn kids out. I mean look at those weirdoes with the nineteen kids. Wouldn't that hurt?

But I ignored the thoughts and quickly accepted Edward's offer and thanked him for it and we walked, more like jogged, outside. We jumped into Edward's Volvo and he drove quickly towards the hospital, obviously sensing that I wanted to be there at least a minute ago. This was the first friend that I had ever had that was expecting. It was kind of weird that Angela was going to have a baby. I knew this meant I'd be alone at the store all day and we wouldn't be able to hang out all the time anymore. But I guess that's what you get with a baby. At least I have Edward for a friend, right? Where did that come from? Ah, stupid evil side of my brain.

I shook my head when we arrived to clear out my inner conversation. Quickly, I got out of the car and I tried my hardest not to trip as I walked quickly to the entrance of the hospital.

"Ready?" Edward asked as he flashed me a pearly-white smile when he caught up to my quick walking. I almost melted right there. I nodded, swallowing hard pushing down the slight feeling of nausea, as we paused outside the door. Edward wrapped his arm around my shoulders for a quick hug. I took a deep breath and pushed the doors open, walking up to the desk. Once again, the nurse just ignored me but when Edward walked up, she smiled broadly.

"Can I help you, sir?" She asked pleasantly and I glared at her.

"Yes, could you direct me to Angela Cheney's room?" He dazzled the woman but unfortunately she was smart enough to be able to think through it.

"I'm sorry, are you family?"

"Yes, my wife here is her sister," Edward explained and I stood there, trying to hide my surprise. I smirked at the woman when she looked at me. Man, I wish I was his wife!

"Oh, oh, yes of course. Room 132, just down there," the nurse stuttered and pointed to her right.

"Thanks," Edward flashed another smile and I giggled. I wanted to say something about why Edward had said we were married, but I kept quiet. We walked silently until I felt Edward's hand on my arm. "Bella," he murmured and I looked to my right to see Angela lying in the hospital bed.

"Oh! Ang! How are you?" I rushed over to my best friend and she smiled up at me.

"I'm ok for now, until the next contraction hits, and of course later, I won't be, but it's worth it for the little bundle of joy in here." She patted her stomach lightly, smiling down at it. She then looked up at me, and noticed Edward standing just inside the door, obviously trying not to intrude, "Oh, hello Edward, I didn't see you over there!" Angela said and then she waved at Edward, who waved back smiling.

"Good," I collapsed into a chair and sighed.

"Hello! Just coming to check in on how far along you are!"

She came over and lifted up the blankets that were covering Angela down there. I saw Edward quickly turn to look the other way, in my peripheral vision. As she checked Angela, she began to talk, "So you two must be Angela's sister and brother-in-law. It was so nice of you to come, we can all see how freaked out her husband is about it!"

I was a little frozen from her statement, but I finally got myself to stutter out a response, "Oh… Um yeah… I am Angela's sister, and Edward was her best guy friend for as long as they can remember, so we wouldn't be anywhere else in the world."

"Well that is very nice of you. How very sweet, your best friend falling in love with your sister. So very romantic." She smiled sweetly as she covered Angela back up.

A contraction hit Angela then, the first one I had been here to see, and she gripped onto my hand tightly, her knuckles turning white. She screamed loudly, her forehead bursting out in a sweat. I used the hand she didn't have imprisoned in her steel grip, and grabbed the wet washcloth I saw on the little table next to me and patted her forehead with it. I told her she was going to be okay, and that everything would be fine, and reminded her that it was all worth it. She screamed for a good minute before gradually quietly calming and then just panting. As you can probably predict, I was pretty freaked out over the sudden hit of screaming and just how horrible the real thing was, as I had only seen this sort of thing in movies.

The nurse waited until she called down, and told her the latest verdict on timing, "Well, Miss Angela, you look to be a little ahead of schedule, you seem to be getting your contractions around every five minutes, and they will be coming sooner now that you are closer. But it will still be a good ten minutes before you will be completely ready to pop out this baby!"

Angela nodded weakly, at the time still being exhausted from her contraction. I smiled nicely at the nurse. She walked out the door, smiling at Edward who had migrated all the way to the door way, looking out.

"Um… Sister?! Brother-in-law?! What is going on here?" Angela asked her eyes widening, and her mommy finger coming out to shake at us.

"Ah so you're already getting the mommy finger! That is good practice for your little baby!"

"Do not change the subject Swan. I will be getting another contraction soon, and you will come out with what is going on before then."

I could hear Edward now walking more into the room, to stand somewhere being my chair. I quickly spit out the information she wanted to hear, "It was just to get in to see you. They only let in family, so Edward told the secretary that he is your brother and I am his wife… That is it! I swear! There is nothing going on between Edward and I. Right, Edward?"

Edward was slightly down at the floor, scuffling his shoe, a slightly disappointed look on his face. Why would he be disappointed in my answer? That was all that was going on between us. Nothing at all. Well nothing of what Angela was thinking. We are just friends…

"Bella's right." Edward said quietly. I still could see the slight disappointment still evident on face, and I could hear it in his voice when he spoke. Angela's eyes darted over to Edward narrowing once she saw his shy and disappointed stance, her forehead scrunching in confusion. That's odd.

"So she'll be coming soon!" I said happily trying to break the awkward silence enveloping us all.

Angela smiled but I could tell it was forced. She looked worried and a little troubled. Who wouldn't be right before they have their first baby? "Yup!" She threw out some, now, fake enthusiasm. "Um, Bella, if you don't mind, do you think you could stay in here with me when it comes? I'm not sure if Ben can handle it…"

I nodded against my will. Knowing that I could not say no, and I would just have to suck it in through all the screaming and blood. This will be one difficult afternoon. "Speaking of Ben, where is he?"

"He disappeared after the contraction I had just before you came... I think he's hyperventilating in the bathroom or something. Edward, do you mind finding and bringing him back for me?"

"Sure." Edward nodded, and walked out of the room solemnly, that sad look still slightly apparent on his face.

As soon as Edward walked out of the room Angela turned to stared at me pointedly.

"So, Bella, how are you doing?" She smirked at me and I gulped. I knew where she was going with this.

"I'm fine. And you?"

"Perfect, just perfect as I sit here in labor."

"That's good." I said and then looked away. Here it comes…

Angela started to scream, in another contraction. Well not what I was expecting, but it had been a little more than four minutes since the last one. She gripped my hand in a vice grip again this time around. Screeching and screaming like a mad woman. Her knuckles turned white against mine, and my fingertips turned purple, as she literally cut off my circulation. I patted her head with the cool washcloth again, reassuring her, that everything was fine and for a reason. The contraction was finally over, and she started to calm down, panting. I still patted the sweat off of her face, and neck, trying to calm her down faster.

"So, how is it going with Edward? I know there has to be something going on." She slightly panted. And there it was.

I shrugged. "Good I guess..."

"'Good'?! That's all I get?! I'm a pregnant woman whose about to give birth just went through a contraction and all you give me is 'good'?" Angela raised an eyebrow at me.

I huffed, situating myself more comfortably in the chair, crossing my arms over my chest and looking away in an attempt to seem like I wasn't really as depressed about our just friends relationship as I really am. I tried to stall, and let the silence take over the room for a full minute before Angela snapped her fingers and snapped out a "Well…?"

"Fine. It's going well I guess. Well I mean as good as it can be, seeing as we're only going to be friends because he's with Tanya. And they are getting married and all that stuff, but at least I can still see him. Although, I am surprised that Tanya is fine with him having coffee with me the past couple weeks, I would think she would want to be talking about the wedding and stuff. But I mean I know I should just be happy that we can be friends. I mean of course I am completely jealous of Tanya, and all that, but I mean I want him to be happy, and he is obviously happy with her. So I am happy for him." I rambled on, trying to make it so she would be happy with my answer.

"Um… Bella don't you know that..." But Angela couldn't say anymore because Edward and Ben walked in the room, Edward came and stood behind my chair but Ben paused in the doorway for a second, taking a big breath. He finally walked over to Angela's bedside and plopped weakly into the chair on that side of the bed. He smiled weakly and apologetically to Angela.

"Hey sweetheart... Sorry I ran out like that. It's just that… well I am nervous as hell, and you know that I am bad with this stuff… And well I just freaked, and started to hyperventilate, and I didn't want to freak you out… And so I ran."

"It's ok. I understand. I am just glad you are here now. It'll be time in about five minutes, from what the nurse said last."

A slightly panicked look came over Ben's face. "Five minutes? That's great!" He choked out, forcing a smile onto his lips, that looked more like a grimace.

"Benjamin, I know you are faking, and you don't have to do that with me. It will be fine-" Angela started to scream again as yet another contraction hit, now a little more than three minutes after the last. They were coming closer, it was almost time. She squeezed both Ben and my hands, hard, screaming bloody murder. I looked up and saw the pain I felt shining back in his eyes. I know it must be really hard for him to see her like this. I know it was for me. And I know that he was probably freaking out over the fact that he would be a father in about five minutes, and be responsible for a life, a person. I patted Angela's face and neck again, as both Ben and I reassured her. Once she finally once again calmed down, and was panting into the pillows, both Ben and I both collapsed into our chairs.

"Hey, Bella," he gave me a weak smile and I grinned back, hoping that would reassure him a bit.

The nurse then walked in and she lifted the blanket and checked Angela. "Oh, sweetie it seems you're even a little bit more ahead of schedule! It's time to get that little baby out of there!"

I tried to hold back a laugh. What the nurse had said sounded so funny. She was definitely a very energetic nurse. She walked out of the room and soon a doctor and some nurses were coming in and prepping Angela for the baby to come. Another contraction hit Angela as they were almost ready, now two minutes after the last, that little baby was just racing to get out of there. Angela squeezed the shit out of both of our hands as she held onto them for dear life and screeched on and on. Once the contraction was eventually over, I still just sat there and held her hand, and whispered reassurances now, not just to Angela, but to Ben, who also was starting to look pretty panicked.

The doctor informed us that Angela was ready to start pushing and that they will start on the next contraction. As we waited for it to hit, Edward caught my attention and motioned toward the hallway to tell me he was going to wait out there during the birth. Smart man, I wish I could do the same.

Finally, it came, and the doctor and nurses directed her when to push, and for how long, not wanting her to hurt herself from pushing too hard. They let her break for a couple moments between each push so she could catch her breath before having to do it again.

I remembered hearing something about holding a women's hand gave comfort. But boy was I wrong! It hurt like hell. You never know how strong someone is until you hold her hand through birth. And now, as I sat there, well, more like stood, I saw something I really hadn't wanted to see. Ever. Not to mention, Angela was screaming at the top of her lungs and shouting profanities. Which was weird, she never swore. I shuddered as I saw all of the blood. It was sickening and I almost didn't make it through.

Ben did end up fainting, but luckily didn't hit his head too hard when he fell. Then we heard the cry. It was beautiful and scary at the same time. The doctor announced that it was a girl and Angela laughed tiredly, through her panting from all the pushing. She had laid her head all the way back into the pillows, and he eyes closed with tears squeezing out and slipping down her cheeks. She smiled through her pants, and I could hear her sobbing slightly. I smiled slightly too, happy for it to be over. And I can tell you I was sobbing on the inside from the gruesome images I had to see.

She finally dropped my hand, and as I pulled it up I saw it had fingernail marks all over it, and it was bright red. I swear to God, a few marks were bleeding. I stood up straight and walked over to Ben. Shaking him gently, and informed him that his daughter was currently being cleaned off.

After he was coherent enough and I helped him up, I walked over to Ang, whispering to her that I was going to step out for just a bit and give Ben and her some alone time with their daughter. As soon I got outside the room, I put my back against the wall and sank down to the floor, holding my head in my hands. Edward had noticed me from where he was sitting in a few chairs that were down the hallway and crouched down in front of me.

"You ok?" He asked quietly.

"Holy shit. Edward, that was brutal. Look at my hand!" I thrust my hand out and he peered at it, laughing a bit. "Why are you laughing? I just got mauled! And the blood… Oh the blood… now that was disgusting."

"Ah, Edward, and its Bella, right?" We both turned to see Dr. Carlisle Cullen.

"Hey Dad, how did you know I was here?"

"I was just informed that my son and his wife were here. Is there some congratulations to be dished out, Edward? Something you didn't tell any of us?" Carlisle asked, amused as he looked down at our positions. Oh, jeez, he must have thought that I was Tanya and they had done something rash. Oh god. What must he think now that he sees me?

Edward laughed, even though it did seem a tad bit like he had to force it, and I would swear I had seen his face contort for a split second before he laughed. "That was just to get in the front desk."

Carlisle chucked as well and then looked down at me. "What's wrong?"

"She just experienced her first live birth; she's scarred for life, literally." Edward held up my hand and Carlisle gazed at it, trying to hold back laughter.

"Bella!" Angela's parents panted as they jogged up the hallway to Angela's room. "Did we miss it? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Unfortunately, you did miss it, even though I think you are pretty fortunate." I held up my hand to show them all the marks. And they chuckled lightly, "And poor Ben passed out near the end of it. To tell you the truth I am surprised I hadn't, you know my aversion to blood. But it is a girl. They haven't named it yet though-"

"Hey, Bella! Can you come back in here?" I heard Angela call to me and I sighed as the two Cullens chuckled again.

"Well, I'll let you all go, just had to see if that off the wall story was somehow true," Carlisle nodded and turned away.

"What story?" Mrs. Cheney asked.

"Oh it's nothing, I had to say that I was Angela's sister and my friend Edward here was my husband for us to be allowed back here. So if the nurse comes in and says something about your daughters, play cool."

I saw Edward frown slightly at the word friend. What is so wrong with that word? It was all we were! It is all we can ever be!

I walked in with Angela's parents with Edward following, and her parents and I made a beeline for Angela. "Look who's here!"

"Mom! Dad! You're here!"

"Yup! We just got here, and your sister here informed us that you had already had your little girl! Sorry we didn't get here. We were in the middle of bible study at church, and had to have our cell phones off, and obviously were not home to get the message there."

"It's totally fine, I had Bella and Ben here to support me. But, I would like you to meet…" Angela pushed back the blanket that was covering her daughters little head. She was so beautiful, and so cute, even though she was still all read from the birth. "Ella Ava Cheney. Ella is because of you Bella, you've been so helpful and such a great friend." Angela smiled at me and I stared at her, my mouth opened.

"Wh-What?" I was bewildered.

"Yup, hope that's okay with you!" Ben laughed.

"I'm- I- You- It's completely fine! Wow! Someone named after me… well… technically." I giggled. "Aw! I'm touched guys, thanks!"

We slowly passed the baby around the room, all of us cooing over little Ella. As I held her, I couldn't stop smiling, she was so adorable. Definitely worth all the pain, "She is so cute you guys! The cutest baby I have ever seen!" I rocked her back and forth, and slipped my pinky into her little hand. She was so tiny, and delicate.

Edward looked so cute as he held little tiny Ella, and was holding her little hand, shaking it lightly up and down, making funny faces at her and making funny noises. It was really hard holding back my laughter, at how silly he looked, and Ella was practically asleep, her eyes barely open, but he still tried to entertain her.

"I just realized Ella's initials are the same as mine!" Edward all of the sudden burst out, chuckling at the coincidence.

"Oh yeah? What's your middle name?" I asked curiously.

"Anthony."

"Oh, huh, E.A.C. How ironic," I cocked my head at Angela. She smiled and shrugged. I knew what she was up too.

"It's such a lucky coincidence!" Angela said happily. Uh huh, I had been having a lot of lucky coincidences lately, but I think this one was forced to happen.

"That's so funny, she's named after you and unintentionally after me. Nice, you guys!" Edward laughed and I was sure he didn't get the whole point behind the coincidence. I laughed too, glaring at Angela. Unintentionally my ass.

We talked for just a bit more. Just chatting about Ella and how Angela and Ben had been in the time I didn't have any contact with them. Angela and Ben were both so cute with Ella. They both cooed to her, and they really never stopped smiling at all. She had become the center of their universe.

I eventually decided it was time to leave, "Hey, we will let you spend some alone time with your new little daughter, and the new grandparents. And Angela, let you get some rest. I'll come and visit again tomorrow. See you soon, Ang!" I hugged her and kissed Ella's head and poked her little nose lightly, then waved goodbye to Ben.

When I walked out of the room with Edward, all the noises and images of the previous hours of the night came back to haunt me.

"Would you like to get a drink with me?" I asked Edward.

He looked at me, stunned. But then he nodded. "Sure."

We drove to the local bar and as soon as we got in I got six shots and downed most of them feeling the burn as they went down. I turned to Edward who was gawking at me, obviously shocked by how many shots I just took in such a quick amount of time.

"What are you staring at? You didn't have to see the life scarring things I did in that hospital room." I raised my eyebrows at him and he just looked at me. Then he slowly nodded and a smile grew on his face.

"Okay. I want some now."

Wait. Shouldn't he be home? I made sure to voice this probably last rational thought that was to run through my mind, "Are you sure? There's no one you need to be home for?"

"Uh, Bella, I think the dog will be fine…" Edward looked at me oddly and he winced a bit, but I didn't push any farther.

I shrugged. Whatever, we would have fun here as I drowned myself in alcohol to get those graphic images out of my head.

Then he ordered six more shots, handing me three of them. I smirked; he didn't want to get as drunk but obviously did realize just how much I needed it.

"I don't normally do this. Last time I got this drunk was after my last breakup. Ang took me out. I had the time of my life that night, I had so much fun!" I giggled and thought back to that night. It was amazingly fun and normally I wouldn't dance but I did like crazy that night.

Edward laughed. "I don't normally do this either."

Then, I took the few shots, feeling it again as it burned down my throat. I was starting to feel some of the affects of the pure liquor as I could tell my vision was blurring some, and I started to feel a little more confident.

I ordered a rum and coke, and Edward ordered the same. I quickly sipped mine up as soon as it came to the table.

We were then silent for a little while but I started talking to Edward in our booth. I giggled incessantly as I heard just how perverted everything he was saying was.

And the next thing I knew I was standing on the stage singing karaoke in front of everyone. And I was enjoying it. My singing was by no means good. I was swaying even though I was trying to stand still. And the lyrics were a jumbled mess from how slurred they were.

But I didn't care.

Edward helped me off the stage, trying to keep his smile off of his face. Obviously he thought my terrible singing was hilarious.

"Now what are you laughing at? Is it my singing? Edward Anthony Cullen, you better not be laughing at my singing." I pretended to be mad at him just to see how he would react.

His eyes widened and he started to stutter, "No... I wasn't… I…"

I burst out in hysterical laughter, at his panicked expression, "It's okay! I know am terrible! I wanted to just see your reaction. It was very satis-atis-fac-ator-raryy."

He just shook his head back and forth as we sat down in our booth. I watched as his hair moved across his forehead sexily. I licked my lips, at just how sexy he is. I slowly scanned my eyes down his face, and was captured in his beautiful green eyes. He wasn't looking up, so I wasn't caught awkwardly staring into his eyes as he stared into mine though.

Our waitress came over, and I ordered three more shots, and another rum and coke. Edward ordered water, obviously done with drinking.

As soon as she left to go get the drinks. Edward starting talking, "So that was pretty intense at the hospital huh? From what you said I should be very glad that I was not in the room."

"Yes! Glad be you should! I mean should you glad…nevermind. I have never seen anything disgusting so! All the blood and the screaming! And my SCARRING of the hand! It terrible was! I be will scarred the rest of life." I was probably shouting, but I didn't give a damn if people heard me or not, but I did try to lower my voice as I could see Edward shifting his eyes around, making sure no one was looking at us, "I am de-fine-iti-iti-itely turned me off child birth while for a. I mean why would anyone to go want through much pain for little baby that keep you up all night screaming heads their off, and whining and sucking up your savings account for the rest of their life?! I wanted kids always, after but tonight, at least for tonight have a I changed perspective on kids."

"I think children are wonderful… Well, I have always wanted a kid. Once I was married and settled down of course. I have never admitted it to anyone though, because I thought they would think I was turning into a pussy."

I looked down at my hands, not knowing how to answer that after I had so openly bashed kids. The awful awkward silence ensued and I eventually looked up to see him looking down at his beer bottle, twirling it around in a circle on the table. I resumed my scanning of his sculptured face. I resumed from where I was before, and looked down his chiseled nose, and then got to his lips… his beautiful, luscious, full lips. I could imagine myself kissing those lips. I could picture me leaning across this table, and kissing him, and the kiss deepening, and then slipping my tongue into his mouth tasting his sweet tongue.

I yanked myself out of my out of control thoughts, knowing that if I let them go on any further I knew I would end up pushing myself across the table and taking him right there. And I could not do that, he was engaged.

I continued to just stare at him, and let my eyes trail down his chest, that I could see a little bit of his muscles through. How much I wanted to ask him, 'Do you know you how sexy you are?'

He smirked and chuckled, "I have heard it before, yes."

I gasped as I realized that I had let the question slip through my lips. I felt my cheeks heat up in a blush and I looked down at the table.

I turned my head to the left and saw a little person sitting there. My eyes widened in shock as I saw that she was bouncing in laughter.

"What laughing you about? Don't think you he's hot?" I quietly asked the little girl in the smooth and shimmery silver dress with the white rough sides. She still just shimmered in laughter.

"Oh so you're not going to answer me? Oh… I know, you are just flab-berrr-er-gas-ited-ed speechless by his smexy features aren't you? I know that feeling. I know it's like that for me every day I see him! I finally have gotten over it though, and I am able to talk to him in a conversation normal."

"Bella...? Why are you talking to the napkin holder…?"

"What do you mean?" I asked him looking up to his eyes that were shimmering in laughter, "There little girl sitting right there!"

I looked back to the little girl, and she was gone! All that was there was the napkin holder that was there all night. "Where did she go?! She just left me without answering my questions!! And not saying goodbye?!?"

"Bella…. I think it's time to get you home."

"But I need to find that little girl and answer make her my question!! And goodbye I need to say!!"

"I don't think we are going to find her… It's getting late, and I think you are sufficiently drunk enough. C'mon let's go. "

I huffed and finally agreed.

Edward held me up as I stumbled over my own feet. I was already clumsy enough and being intoxicated didn't help me one bit. I had ended up having a lot of alcohol, and considering my small frame; I got drunk quickly, and after I had had that much I was super drunk. Edward was fine, well not fine, but a lot better than I was. He had the three shots, and the rum and coke, and a bunch of water. I don't know how he had the will power.

"That was funnnnnnn," I slurred. And hiccupped, giggling after.

"It sure was," Edward chuckled.

"Let's go back!"

"I think we should get you home…"

"Okay," I hung my head but hiccupped again and giggled. Then I started singing our song loudly and way off tune, "8-6-7-5-3-0-9."

Edward laughed again and tried to quiet me down as we neared his car.

"Oh, no, you don't want me in there, what if I throw up? Oh jeez," I babbled and he shook his head.

"It'll be okay, I'll just go get it cleaned."

I giggled. "Okay," I murmured. As soon as he started driving, I already felt nauseous and my eyes widened. A squeak escaped my mouth and my stomach churned. Great.

"Should I slow down, Bella?" Edward asked and I nodded frantically. I vowed to myself I would never drink this much again.

"C'mon, I'll help you inside," I had passed out during the slower ride back to the apartments, and Edward had picked me up out of car, and started walking me to the building.

"What is your apartment number?"

"12." I mumbled sleepily.

"Do you have your keys?" He asked as we stopped and he set me lightly to my feet.

I looked at him blurrily and swayed on the spot. He stared at me. "Bella. Do you have your keys?"

"Oh, oh, yeah, right here," I dug into my pocket and dropped them into his hand, but he must have moved it because the keys started to whoosh past, he stooped down quickly and caught them before they hit the ground. Damn his coordination.

"Are you good for me to let go of you to unlock your door?"

I nodded my head. And he pulled his arm that was around me away.

I started giggling at the pretty colors the swirling sidewalk and walls and of the building made, as I swayed around. Edward just shook his head at me.

"What? It's pretty!" I shouted.

Edward just chuckled, "Sure Bella. Sure."

The next thing I knew the pretty colors of the ground were coming toward my face fast. And I was giggling incessantly at them. But then I was in Edwards arms.

"Whoa, there Bella. No face planting tonight please."

"No! No!" I screamed as he pulled me away from the pretty colors. "No! No!!! I like the pretty colors! Stop! Stop! No!! No!!"

Edward twisted me around and laid my crying face into his shoulder, as he picked up my knees.

I heard the door click and suddenly I was being laid down on my couch.

"Mmmm, that's comfortable." But as I wriggled to get more comfortable I got this odd but terribly familiar feeling, "Oh shit." I stumbled up and started to stagger towards the bathroom. All the pretty colors of my apartment making me look at the walls in awe as I stumbled as fast as I could banging into them on my way. Edward was right behind me, he must have known I was about to blow. I finally made it to the bathroom, and my stomach heaved up all the stuff in it. I watched the pretty colors of everything in my stomach swirl around in the water. It was art.

I felt disgusting, puking in front of him. But then I realized he was holding my hair. Edward Cullen was holding MY hair!

"I'm sorry I puked. Thank you for holding my hair…"

"It's okay, love," he murmured and- wait, what? Love? I shook the thought away, thinking he was just trying to make me feel better, or was just saying it of habit from having to do this to Tanya.

After I was eventually finished puking my guts out, I leaned back into the cabinet beside the toilet and closed my eyes. I felt Edward pick me up once again and I felt him set me on my bed this time, He started to turn away, but I grabbed his shirt, I couldn't let him go, I just couldn't, he was too nice, and in my state I know I would be crushed to see him leave through that door. He was so sexy, and hot, and I really wanted him to stay, but as much as I wanted that I knew he couldn't. It was already so late, and Tanya must be pissed. As you can imagine, I was shocked as I heard these words leave my lips, "Stay, please."

He turned back and gave me a strange, confused, look but then nodded. "Okay. I'll stay."

A/N: So what did you think? I hope you think it's ok! We tried our best on the drunk part. We obviously haven't been drunk, and so we couldn't write from experience. And more stories that the character is drunk they show it more from a sober person POV. And we couldn't write from that because we can't write from Edwards POV yet. And so yeah. We hope you think its ok! That was the part we got xXEmmexplosionXx's help on and she was fantastic!! Thank you sooooo much for helping!!!!!! Anyway. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
