Edward had woken up a while ago to find Leah fast asleep in his arms. He smiled before brushing his knuckles over her cheek gently. The others never had come back and he figured it was because they must have known what was going on inside of Leah's home. That thought made the mind reader turn a bright red. It wasn't that he was ashamed or anything, but rather the thought of them having head just made him extremely embarrassed. Oh well it didn't really matter because he loved Leah and he was not ashamed of that. In fact he wanted to scream it from the rooftops, but he knew he couldn't at least for the time being. Hopefully one day soon he would be able to, but until that day came he knew they needed to be careful.

"I love you." He whispered not wanting to wake her up and yet feeling the need to say the words out loud. "I'll make sure you get your happy ending this time around because it is what you deserve."

The winged woman remained silent since she had been sleeping, but she did cuddle closer in to his side which caused him to smile. He really would do anything for her in order to keep her safe. He would also do whatever it took to make sure she was happy. When Edward had heard her story about Embry his heart had shattered for her. While it would sound crazy it had almost been as if he could feel her pain like they had been connected on a deep emotional level. In that moment Leah's pain had been his pain.

It was a no wonder that she pushed people away most of the time. Everyone she cared about seemed to come to a horrible ending or abandon her. Edward had never been abandoned by his family physically and yet emotionally he felt as if he had. While his parents did not dump him in the middle of nowhere, he never felt as if they had tried to connect with him emotionally. That had been one of the reasons he left. If he had wanted to be alone then he would rather be alone by himself that surrounded by people who called him family yet they did not act like it. It was sad, but the truth of the matter was some of the freaks here were the closest thing to family he had ever had before.

Leah let out a sigh as she found herself waking up. She stretched her long tanned arms over her head before sitting up from her awkward position of lying on her stomach and stretching her wings. They fluttered and flapped a few times before finally settling down as she relaxed and looked over to find Edward watching her with an amused smile on his face. "What?"

The bronze haired male shrugged as he too sat up. "I was just thinking how cool it would be if you could actually fly. Have you ever tried? I know you can hover with the right wind and you say you can't fly, but how do you know that if you don't try?"

"How do you propose I do that?" She questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I am not a cartoon character or a character from a video game. If I jump off a cliff hoping to fly and fall to my death there is no way that I will be getting an extra life or a restart on the level. If you think flying is oh so easy then you try it and if you survive your stupidity I will give it a shot."

Edward laughed and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "I don't have wings and so I doubt that it would work in my case."

"Well when you grow a pair you feel free to ask me again and we will talk about it." The winged Native American female told him as she stood up looking for her clothes. "Are you hungry? I was thinking of cooking something instead of going out with the others."

"If you cook in your birthday suite then sure I am starving." He teased as he too get up out of bed, but he did not bother looking for his clothes since he figured even if they did get dressed it wouldn't be long before they were naked once more. "If you have chocolate chips I can make chocolate pancakes. I love having breakfast foods for lunch."

Leah grinned as she dropped her clothes and started heading towards her small kitchen. "As it so happens I love breakfast at all times of the day. You make the pancakes and I will make the hash browns, the eggs, and I think I have some bacon. Oh! I have fresh oranges I will juice in my juicer and we can have fresh juice. I hate that processed crap."

Her companion laughed as pulled the things from her cupboard and small fridge that he would need in order to make the pancakes. "I do as well and hey sometimes that 'processed crap' is all I can get my hands and it works in a pinch even though it isn't my first choice."

Laughter bubbled up from her lips as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Well just so you know you're my first choice and if you like your balls where they are I better be yours."

"Give me a second to think about that." He teased and rubbed his arm when she punched him though not hard enough to cause any damage. She would need his arms later if she had anything to say about it. Sex wouldn't be nearly as good if Edward was suddenly armless. "Ouch woman! Don't abuse me! Of course you're my first choice. Do you honestly think I would put up with your abuse if you weren't the love of my life?"

AN: So I have day surgery earlier in the morning and I wanted to post this since I will be sore for a few days after. I wanted a cute sort of funny chapter because well I think they deserve it and it brought my spirits up a bit because I am nervous. Let me know what you thought if you liked this or not.
