Oh shit. This can't be good.

There wasn't a lot of blood, but enough to freak me the fuck out and make me realize that something was definitely wrong.

"That's an understatement of massive fucking proportions!" Pita yelled."We need to get to a doctor!"

I pulled out my phone from the clutch that Alice had let me borrow, and got in touch with Dr. Avery's answering service.

While I waited for her to call me back, I started pacing back and forth, losing my ever loving fucking mind.

My heart was racing from fear and a million fucking questions were going through my head.

What the hell was happening? Had the doctor been wrong like I thought? Was I imagining all the damn symptoms?

"You can't imagine constant pissing and titty growth," Pita argued quietly. "Maybe something is wrong with Tic Tac."

The thought made my heart fucking shatter.

The stupid fucking tears started to come, but that made me all the more aware of what I might be losing which caused me to cry even harder. This cannot fucking be happening. I had to do something, I couldn't just sit in this fucking bathroom, but I sure as hell didn't want to go into the party and ruin Edward's birthday. Especially with this kind of news, but the selfish bitch in me wanted him with me.

I was still pacing I don't know how many fucking minutes later when my phone buzzed.

Rose had sent me a text.

Did you fall in? I know you're pissing for two now, but hurry it up.

Shit. What the fuck do I say?

I took a deep breath and wrote back. I'm waiting for a call. Be there when I can.

Part of me felt like I deserved this on some level. Just a few weeks ago, I hated the fucking idea of ever having kids. Now, I was hold up in a goddamn bathroom pacing in these fucked up heels crying like a bitch that I might not get a chance.

I ended up leaning against the wall, trying to wipe off all the fucking tears and mascara that was running down my face. I should have worn the waterproof crap, then at least I wouldn't look like a crack whore, not that I cared at that point.

My phone finally rang and Dr. Avery apologized profusely explaining that she was delivering one of her other patients.

She asked me some questions, about cramps and what I did during the day, but I guess I didn't give her enough information through my snot-sobbing, because she told me to come to Cedars and meet her at L&D as soon as possible.

Just fucking great. I had driven there with Alice, and was riding home with Edward. Coop was at work and I was going to have to get a car to take me over there.

"You need to tell Edward," Pita prodded. "It's his baby too."

"Are you sure she even went in here?" I heard Rose's question for near the door.

"It's where she said she was going," Alice whispered back.

Fan-fucking-tastic. I didn't have a prayer of getting out of here without Rose finding out and telling Edward.

"There you are! What is..." her question was cut short when I turned around. I didn't have the fucking energy to put on any type of poker face.

"Sweetie, what the hell is going on? Are you okay?" Rose questioned while worriedly looking me over.

I gave them a quick rundown of what happened, and had just finished telling them I was supposed to be leaving for Cedars when Rose whipped out her phone.

"Who are you calling?" I asked, as Alice gently rubbed my back.

She shot me a disbelieving look.

"Don't Rose!" I begged. "It's Edward's party for fuck sakes! He can't leave and I don't want to ruin it."

She shot me a patronizing look. "Bella, I love you, but shut off the crazy for a few minutes."

"Who knew a little bit of blood could ruin a birthday party?" Pita sighed.

She walked over to the door to wait for him to pick up.

"Goddammit Rose!" I yelled. "You don't need to..."

"Bella, he really should be here," Alice interrupted my protest. I grunted and let my head hit the back of the wall, letting my eyes close. I knew he should be, but I just felt like he should have one more good fucking day if we were going to lose Tic Tac.

Tulip was beside herself, wearing a "Save Tic Tac" T-shirt and blubbering.

"I'm sure everything is fine," Alice comforted and handed me a tissue.

I nodded and tried to stop the stupid fucking tears. "Let's hope your freaky ability to know things holds out."

A few minutes went by in silence, I heard muffled words as Rose spoke into her phone, but it faded out quickly. I silently counted my breaths and stared at the white and black checkerboard marble floor.

"Where is she?" Edward's question brought my awareness back.

I ran past Rose and right into his arms, snot sobbing and babbling out an apology for ruining his birthday.

"Bella, you didn't ruin anything," he consoled, holding me tightly.

"There's a car waiting downstairs," Rose spoke from beside us. "Call me, as soon as you know something."

Before I knew it, we were in the back of a car and headed off to Cedars.

His arm was around me and my head was resting on his shoulder. He was stroking my hair softly while I stared at the city flying by from behind tinted windows.

"Dad says this happens a lot," Edward whispered. "He said it was probably nothing to worry about."

That was easy for him to say. He didn't have anything to feel fucking guilty about. I had acted like such a fucking immature bitch and if anything happened to Tic Tac, I wasn't going to be able to find words for how fucking bad I was going to feel and how much my heart was going to break.

That's when I realized how much I fucking wanted this baby.

You don't realize what you want until it's gone. Is that the fucking lesson here?

"Okay! Lesson learned!" Pita admitted with a growl."Got it loud and clear! Now quit fucking with us and let Tic Tac be alright!"

Tulip was a complete frantic mess. "Oh God...If anything...What if...If anything happens, I swear to God..."

"What if it is?" I whispered so quietly I wasn't entirely sure he could hear me.

"You can't think like that," Edward comforted. "You have to stay positive."

"I'm trying," I sniffled back, the tears running full throttle again. "But I just keep thinking about how fucking awful...how much I want this baby to be okay."

I felt him shift next to me, which caused me to look up at his shadowed and resolute face. "Bella, I believe with every fiber of my fucking being that our baby is completely fine." His tone didn't waver and his eyes didn't leave mine. His confidence in Tic Tac's health was enough to calm my nerves and make me fall even more fucking in love with him.

"I love you," I sighed.

"I know," he smirked. I nuzzled closer to him, with my head under his chin and giggled though my tears, embracing his distraction. "Ford ad-libbed that line." I informed, placing my hand over his racing heart.

"How about this," he paused, "I guess it's good that I love you too then, otherwise this would be really awkward for you."

I laughed harder. Jackass was using my own lines against me. I fucking loved him.

"You guess, nothing a little more substantial?" I teased, throwing his words back.

"Actions speak louder than words," he answered cryptically, throwing me for a loop, but I was too stressed out to ask him what the fuck he meant.

"You're weird," I responded.

"I know."

**Sexy Silk**

The ride seemed to last for fucking ever, even though it was less than two miles. I had bitten my pinkie nail down to the quick by the time we were dropped off.

We had to check in on the third floor, but before I could blink they had us back in a private room and were taking all kinds of fucking fluids from me again.

I swear the woman who took my blood stabbed me four fucking times on purpose, even though she said it was my veins that weren't "cooperating".

They're fucking veins! What were they doing? Jumping around? I wasn't some kind of goddamn whack-a-mole game.

My nurse wasn't any better, and I knew it had everything to do with Edward being there. She kept blushing and doing this giddy fucking laugh after she spoke, entirely distracted and pissed off that I was with him, though she tried to hide it.

"If I wasn't worried about Tic Tac being in mortal danger, I'd be fucking cooter checking that bitch!" Tulip asserted.

She also shot me a fucking glare when I refused to wear one of those fucking hospital gowns, insisting that it would be "for the best." I was about to tell her where the fuck she could shove the "ass blowing in the breeze wrap" when Edward flashed a grin and asked if it was really necessary right now.

"I suppose not," she responded with a love drunk smile and then turned back to me. "You can wait," she snapped. "I'm sure Dr. Avery will have something to say about it." She turned on her heel and stepped hurriedly out of the room.

"As soon as I know Tic Tac is okay, I'm going to cold clock that snippy little bitch!" I grumbled.

"Beating the hell out of Caffy didn't satisfy the bloodlust?" Edward joked.

"She's acting like a jealous ex, for fuck sakes and let's not forget the craptastic bedside manner!" I was getting extremely fucking agitated. Like I didn't have enough fucking things to be worried about without this bitch.

"You need to calm down Beautiful," Edward cautioned. "It can't be good for you or the baby to be this upset."

He was right, but just sitting there doing nothing was starting to get to me. "This waiting is killing me. I need a distraction before I lose it," I complained, trying not to climb the wall.

Edward had gotten out his phone and was looking on it for something, but instead of waiting for him to find whatever it was, I called him. I realized I had no fucking idea what his ringtone was for me, and it seemed like a good way pass the time.

All or Nothing by Theory of a Deadman started playing. A lopsided grin formed on his face, as he let it play.

"That's your ringtone for me?" I smiled slightly. Trying to keep my thoughts preoccupied, listening to the lyrics.

"Yeah, I think it fits us pretty well," he answered as the chorus started over. "Why? What's yours for me?"

I shrugged. "It's just a generic ring."

"Liar Liar, Sexy Silk ringtone loving ass on fire," Pita sung.

His locked eyes with mine and raised his right bow in challenge, even though he was still grinning.

"Alright, be secretive. I don't really care." He looked like he was going to put his phone away, but I knew better.

Sexy Silk immediately started playing from my phone. "No, you don't care at all," I rolled my eyes.

"Isn't that from Easy A? How did you pick that one?" he asked confused.

"Because you're not my dirty little secret or my only exception anymore," I explained, with a nervous laugh.

"What?"

Since we had some time to kill, I explained how I thought of the song when I walked back into work after Slugger's first turn at bat, which led to us talking about subsequent events.

"I still can't believe you fucking did that!" I exclaimed with a laugh, remembering the fucking on-air call out on the Globes carpet.

"It worked didn't it?" he answered with a cocky fucking grin. I scooted over in the bed so he could lay next to me.

"No it didn't. In case your fine ass has forgotten, I still didn't call and you couldn't take a hint," I reminded, putting my head on his shoulder.

"I took it as a challenge and stepped up my game. You were putty after the tulips," he responded causally. He was stroking my hand that was resting on his chest.

I craned my neck and gaped at him for a second, before I composed myself. "You said that like you actually fucking believed it, Hollywood," I laughed.

He smirked and ran his hand through his hair, before catching my eyes and pulling me up so our heads were level. "I knew what I wanted Bella. Getting you was the challenge of a lifetime but I loved almost every minute of it."

I bowed my head and licked my lip, thinking over what he said. "Was the juice worth the squeeze?" I asked half joking, because I knew he had me but the fucking hormones and stress were making me feel insecure and vulnerable.

His eyes were thoughtful, and searched mine for a second before he responded. "The 'juice' is the love of my life so my answer is an unequivocal, yes."

Holy fuck this was heavy and disorienting. I don't know what made me ask what I did next. "Love of your life? There's a lot of women out there. Are you sure you picked the right one?"

"There's only one other girl I'll look at like I look at you, though she's a lot smaller and shares my DNA," he confessed, putting his hand on my stomach.

"I'll take that as an abso-freakin-lutely," Pita sniffled.

The door rattled and we heard a slight knock.

Dr. Avery stepped briskly into our room and introduced herself to Edward. She was no-nonsense, strictly professional and her tongue didn't hit the floor when she saw him. Which I would have been impressed with if I wasn't still freaking the fuck out.

"Hi Bella, I'm sorry we have to see each other again under these circumstances, but let's get on to the good news." She was hesitant to use the last two words.

"Your hcG is right where it should be, and all your other tests came back fine," she relayed with a tentative smile.

I stared at her blankly, absorbing what she said, but it was Edward who asked what I was thinking.

"What does that mean? Is the baby okay?"

"I'd like to say most likely, since the bleeding was minimal, but I'm going to suggest an ultrasound to rule out an ectopic pregnancy or something similar," she responded firmly, glancing at each of us. We both nodded, but I didn't know why she'd want to do an ultrasound so fucking early. Was Tic Tac even going to be visible?

"At least we know he's more than likely okay," Pita exhaled and slumped down.

"Thank fucking god," I sighed feeling exceedingly lighter.

"You seem relieved," Dr. Avery commented with a warm smile. "You didn't seem entirely thrilled when you found out."

"I wasn't," I admitted, glancing at Edward. "I've had some time to adjust."

"I knew you'd come around," she smirked proudly.

"I had some outside help," I grinned at Edward, who was looking pretty self-satisfied.

"You're not wearing one of our 'fashionable' gowns?" she questioned, noticing that I was still wearing Alice's dress.

"There was no color selection," I joked. "And it clashed with this nifty plastic ID tag." I held up my wrist for effect.

"Plus the nurse is a little punkbitch and I wanted to take her ass down a notch," Pita added.

"Fair enough," she laughed. "You'll need to be naked from the waist down, in order for me to do the ultrasound though. So, I'll get you one of our 'universally matching' cover ups and give you a minute to get situated."

"That's all I'm asking for," I responded, taking the cover up. She gave a small smile and left the room.

I never understood the purpose of these fucking things. Don't gynos see more twats in a day than they can count? Was it just to give me some dignity? Any dignity to be had by a paper coverup they could fucking keep in my opinion.

Dr. Avery came back in shortly after I finished covering myself.

"All set in here?" she asked.

"I'm sans panties and have an amazingly hot man in here, I think we could use a few more minutes," I joked, trying to ease my tension.

Edward growled in my ear "Minutes?" he quizzed, pretending to be affronted. He was now sitting in a chair next to the bed.

"Okay, at least an hour and a bigger bed," I countered. "Better?"

"Much," he smiled and kissed my cheek.

The doctor gave a polite laugh and shook her head. "That's how you two got here in the first place," she teased.

"So let's see if we can see the fruit of that endeavor," she joked, pulling out the stirrups at the end of the table.

She sat on a little stool and rolled up to the ultrasound machine and grabbed what looked like a really fucked up probe looking thing.

"Oh fuck no! That is not going anywhere near me!" Tulip shrieked. "Nothing cold comes up here unless it fucking sparkles in the sunlight."

"Jesus! Would you get over your sparkle fetish and just dress Slugger up in fucking sequins already?" Pita suggested haughtily.

"This might be a little uncomfortable," she stated. "Just try to relax."

"Holy fuck! A little uncomfortable my ass," Tulip yelped. "Where the fuck were you storing that thing? A goddamned meat locker? Are you sure that's not an icicle? What the fuck is this goop? Is that lube? Is this a fucking date? I gotta man you phallic wannabe fuck-knob!"

I refused to look at the fucking screen. I only kept my head turned the opposite direction and my eyes on Edward. Although if something was wrong, I didn't know if I wanted to see the look of devastation on his face. A took a sharp breath as he continued to squeeze my hand and the doctor adjusted the fucking wand.

"There you are," Dr. Avery said softly after a minute or so.

Tulip continued to bitch. "Could they make this thing any less twat friendly?"

"Shut up and open up wide!" Pita yelled. "This is for Tic Tac you prissy bitch!"

"Bella, you are missing your baby's first photo shoot," Dr. Avery informed with a delighted laugh, tapping my foot.

Edward was already entranced by the images on the screen, the smile on his face was making me breathless.

"Look, Beautiful," Edward coerced. He was kissing my temple reverently and nudging my head with his lips.

I smiled and kissed his cheek, he must be seeing something incredible to be wearing that kind of brilliant smile. With a steadying breath, I turned my head away from him and back to the screen.

"Now that I have everyone's attention," Dr. Avery smiled. "This is the gestational sack," she explained pointing at the screen. "And this right here..." she pointed to the screen, "is your baby."

"It really does look like a bean," Pita acknowledged.

I couldn't tell what I was looking at. It looked nothing like a baby, but it was still wholly amazing.

"Is it...is it moving?" I asked, confused by the little spasm I was seeing in my perfect little Tic Tac.

"You mean that little flicker there? That's the heartbeat," she grinned.

A heartbeat.

Life.

An amazingly small life that I'd give up mine for in an instant. My awesomely strong little Tic Tac.

"Wow," I sniffled, completely fucking awed by watching my baby's heart fluttering away. The happy tears streaming down my face like water.

"Oh my fucking god! Look at what Slugger and I did!" Tulip squealed and hugged Pita. They started jumping up and down in joy. "Now get that fucking tool up outta my space before Slugger sees and goes all goddamn caveman on me!"

"I can't believe we made that," I whispered to Edward.

"Once again Slugger and I are completely uncredited for our roles," Tulip whined. "We need an agent a.s.a.p."

"Next you two are going to want your own fucking reality show," Pita groaned.

"Keeping up with Tulip and Slugger," Tulip affirmed. "Our ratings would be through the roof."

"We do amazing work together," he agreed, his eyes full of relief and undiluted joy.

I pulled his head forward and kissed him like I was fucking downing and his kiss held the only air. Completely relieved and entirely in love with him and this wondrous little person that we co-created.

I felt like I had finally caught up.

Dr. Avery cleared her throat politely. I pulled away from Edward, giving him a look that said we are absolutely going to finish this later. He shot me a grin that said we'd be lucky to make it back to the car.

"So, he's okay?" I asked her, still kind of lost in the amazement.

"Everything looks great," she confirmed. "Baby is measuring right on track. Looks like we have a due date of Feb 3rd."

"He?" Edward questioned me. "Are you siding with Em about Tic Tac being a boy?"

I nodded. "It's definitely a boy," I answered with a tone of finality.

"You don't want a little girl?" Edward asked.

"I'd be okay with either," I admitted. "But I really think it's a boy."

"I find that mother's seem to have a sixth sense about what they're having," Dr. Avery cut in.

"Oh shit! We're not going to start seeing dead people are we?" Pita shuddered.

"Why was I bleeding?" I questioned, suddenly wondering if I should still be worried.

"It's hard to say, because it's stopped now and the baby looks perfect," she started. "It could have been anything; hormone fluctuation, irritated cervix, breakthrough bleeding. I really don't see any of that being a continuing problem. You might have some spotting after this, but it should tapper off quickly. I want to see you in my office at the appointment you have scheduled next week. In the meantime, I want you at home and resting. No work, no heavy lifting and no sex."

I gave her a look that said are you fucking kidding me? How the fuck am I supposed to not hit that woman?

"Excuse you?" Tulip gasped. "What kind of timeframe are we looking at here Doc Cockblock? I have to celebrate with my man!"

She gave me this look that said I sympathize with you, but you better do what the fuck I say if you want the baby to be okay.

"Whatever you say," I surrendered. Although I had no idea how the fuck I was supposed to plant my ass anywhere for a week, let alone not jump Edward for that long.

Edward looked a little more than surprised at my easy concession, but stayed silent as the doctor handed me our first picture of Tic Tac. "Just remember this is who you're abstaining for," she chuckled.

She quickly said her goodbyes and made her way out of the room, allowing me some time to put myself back together.

"Tic Tac, if you ever scare me like that again, you are grounded until you're fucking thirty!" I threatened, sitting up slightly so I could see my stomach.

"You're already grounding her?" Edward balked. "She's not even a fetus and she's already grounded until she's older than us?"

"Hey, I warned him. He's got another chance to fall in line before he's living in a makeshift apartment over the garage wondering why we have so much control over his life."

Edward laughed "You have this all planned out? Already? You can't cut her a little slack?

"No, he isn't getting any special treatment. He doesn't get to scare the hell out of me without repercussions," I relayed accentuating every time I referred to Tic Tac as a boy.

He gave me that wicked fucking grin that I loved entirely too much, and enveloped me in his arms.

"Do you have any idea how fucking sexy you are right now?" he asked, nipping at my lips with his own.

"As opposed to all the other times that I'm only sort of fucking sexy?" I quipped, with a slight smirk, before he started kissing me again.

"This maternal side of you is incredibly hot," he explained, then sucked my bottom lip into his mouth.

"Do you have any idea how fucking amazing you smell?" I responded thoughtlessly, as he released my lip. He's always smelled really fucking good, but my senses were on overload and I couldn't get over it.

"Smell?"

"I think he smells like sex, sin, and a spritz of goodgodpleasefuckme," Tulip noted.

"You should bottle it," I moaned taking another hit, as I ran my lips along his jaw.

"Jesus Bella, you can't make noises like that and expect me to keep my hands off you," he groaned.

"This is going to be a long fucking week," I whined, pulling away.

"You better appreciate this little girl," Edward joked. "And behave for Mommy."

"Mo..Mommy?" Pita stuttered. "I guess that is pretty fucking accurate."

I swallowed hard. "He will, if you stop calling him a girl."

"We should call Rose to let her know everything thing is okay." He got out his phone, but I stopped him.

"I've got a better idea." I took a picture of Tic Tac's first picture and sent it to her with a message.

A womb with an awesome view.

Edward was reading over my shoulder, and chuckled at my message. "You ready to go home?"

"Yes," I answered sleepily and started walking. "Right after I hit the bathroom."

**Sexy Silk**

My stomach was attempting to eat itself again as we walked outside. "We have to stop on the way, Tic Tac is mad hungry and is demanding In-n-Out."

Fuck, Rose is right. My ass is going to have its own damn zip code if Tic Tac kept this up.

Edward flashed me a wicked fucking grin as we got in the back of the car. All I could smell was cheesy fucking heaven in the form In-n-Out deliciousness.

"How much do you love me right now?" he asked sliding in next to me, with a sly grin that I knew was there, but could hardly see.

"Enough that if Tulip wasn't banned from Slugger, she'd be giving him the ride of his fucking life, the driver and onlookers be damned," I admitted, grabbing the bag off the seat.

I had just finished the last half of my orgasm on a bun, when my cell started ringing. It was Rose.

"That's the first picture of my niece and you send it by phone? I want copies! Lots of them."

I scoffed "As photogenic as Tic Tac is, don't you want to wait until he's a little more babyish looking?"

"Tic Tac?" Rose gasped. "Why don't you just nickname her Pez or Twinkie, Lexie?"

"Because I forgot to fucking jump backwards after our deskcapade, and it's my choice!" I responded, a little offended.

She huffed. "Does my brother know his baby is named after a breathmint?"

"Why don't I just put him on speaker so you can ask him?"

"Your sister is fucking drunk," I whispered to Edward, "and she's hating on Tic Tac's name."

"I'm not drunk, I'm slightly buzzed," she argued. "And considering what happened tonight I should be passed out somewhere along Sunset."

"Oh my God Bella! You have to let me call in some favors! We can have you in designer duds until you deliver!" Alice squealed.

"Alice?" I asked. Edward cocked an eyebrow at me. "You're not still at Soho House are you?"

"Fuck no, Shorty," Emmett pipped up "We weren't going to stay there after Dad...Ow Rosie!"

"Don't listen to him. He's had a few too many Jagerbombs." Rosalie interjected. I could almost see the glare she was shooting at Emmett.

"Edward, we'll have to go out and celebrate this little miracle and have a redo on your birthday," Jasper distracted.

"Yes, we fucking do man. Jazz and I are already planning your bach... Ow! What the fuck was that for Asshat?" Emmett snarled, sounding like he had just gotten smacked again.

"Sounds good. Is Dad with you too?" Edward asked, giving me a what the fuck are they all doing together still look.

There was another long pause. "He left Soho a while before we did. You should probably wait to call him until tomorrow afternoon," Rose informed, with a short exhale.

"Alright," Edward shrugged, but rolled his eyes at his sister's weird behavior.

"Alice?" I called, remembering that I had to skip work for the next week. "I have to take the next week off to rest and make sure Tic Tac's okay, can we get a temp?"

"It's done!" she chirped. "I planned on you being gone, so I called the agency already."

"Thanks Alice."

"Thanks guys. It's been an interesting night," Edward spoke from beside me. "We're going to pack it in, we'll talk to you all soon."

They all said a collective goodbye and ended the call. The radio streamed quietly in the background.

"Not exactly the way I wanted to celebrate your birthday with you," I commented, feeling bad that we spent most of it at a hospital.

"I got to spend it with you and see my baby for the first time," he countered. "Other than being nervous as hell for a few hours, I feel like I could fly or something."

"It's still your birthday for another seven minutes," I told him, looking at my phone. "If you want to do something completely fucking reckless or dangerous you've still got time."

"Maybe we could try cliff diving," Pita offered sleepily, looking like she was seconds away from passing out. "Or maybe tree hopping or running at lightning speed."

"Yeah, and maybe we can go to Italy and he can beat on some vampires too," Tulip scoffed. "You're delusional from lack of sleep!"

"Better than delusional from lack of peen," Pita yawned again. "Don't you ever sleep?"

"No, not at all," Tulip answered. "I'm open like 7-11."

Edward sat quietly for a minute. I rested my head on his chest, listening to his breathing and the soft music.

Put your arms around me

What you feel is what you are

And what you are is beautiful

Oh, May

Do you wanna get married

Or run away?

"Not tonight," he finally answered, a with a small laugh. "But definitely soon."

I'd only been joking, but it sounded like he had been seriously contemplating actually doing something crazy dangerous, which made me chuckle since he wasn't a daredevil in any sense of the word.

"You planning on becoming an adrenaline junkie?" I teased, my eyes getting heavy.

"I'm going to need more than adrenaline," he mumbled.

He wasn't making any sense and I was too fucking tired to ask him what the hell he was talking about. So, taking a cue from Rzeznik and my tired Tic Tac creating body, I let it slide.

"Happy Birthday," I murmured, as my eyes closed.

A/N: Yay! Tic Tac is fine. Unlike a vampire, you can trust me;)

Lots of Twilightisms, Remember Me, Where the Heart Is, and S.W.: The Empire Strikes Back.

Was not my intent to upset anyone from Indiana last chapter- I could have used any state, my bestie was visiting there- so it just stuck. **Begs for forgiveness.**

I'm sure the staff at Cedars Sinai Med Center are much more competent and professional than I have described them...at least I hope so.

Thanks my bestiebeta and all you wonderful people who are still R&R! :)

Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls- was the song in the car.
