AN- Okay here is the last bit of this scene. I hope you have enjoyed it in Edward's POV. I do so love writing in it. I think following scenes will be done in both POV, but not the same scene twice. We'll just see how the story could be told best. Thanks for all your input and reviews!


Last Time-As I left the bed, I realized I needed to take further action. I flipped over mid-fall and landed silently on my hands and feet. That was close! I thought, I could have fallen right through the floor! Then it really hit me. I just fell out of bed! First I fall for Bella, then I fall out of bed!

Hilarity Ensues

It was too much. The hilarity of the fact that I was the first vampire in history to fall anywhere combined with the roller coaster of emotions I'd been on since meeting Bella. Joy, fear, hope, despair, love, jealously, anger, lust, it all came crashing down around me. I fell over into hysterics with a thud. I wasn't used to feeling much of anything and now I was having a meltdown. As my body convulsed with riotous laughter, Bella peered over the side of the bed.

"Edward!" she cried, panicked "Are you all right?"

I tried to reassure her I was fine, just having a much needed break down, but I couldn't get breath. Instead of speaking I settled for a vigorous nod.

If that sonofabitch is in my baby's bedroom, I . . . I . . .well I don't know what I'll do, but it'll probably make him less of a pretty boy! Charlie's thoughts yelled out from his bedroom.

Shit! I thought, still unable to stop laughing. It was just more comedy in a hilarious situation. I rolled quickly under the bed.

"What?" Bella questioned. Then Charlie's footsteps were thumping up the stairs. Bella jumped out of bed and lay on the floor in the spot I had just vacated. I stared at her, incredulous. The door flew open.

"Bella! Are you alright?" Charlie asked, Where is the little bastard? his thoughts followed. I noted that Charlie was not in the best humor in the middle of the night.

"W-what?"Bella asked, sounding artificially bleary. "What happened?" Brilliant, I thought, I can't believe she had the presence of mind to come up with this!

"I came up to ask you the same thing. It sounded like an elephant," Charlie began, his thoughts were confused that he hadn't seen me on the floor.

Elephant! I cried in my mind, Good God! I bit my lip so hard I very nearly punctured it. I held my breath and froze, if I started shaking with laughter again now, the bed would shake along with me. I tried very hard not to picture Charlie's reaction to that.

"Gee, thanks, Dad, it's not embarrassing enough for me to fall out of bed, without you telling me I'm fat!" Bella cried, standing up with indignation.

"That's not what I meant, Bella!" Charlie spluttered, "That was you, falling out of bed?"

"Well, I wasn't exactly awake to remember it, but you heard a sound and then I'm on the floor, what else could have happened?"

That's a very good question young lady, Charlie thought as he searched the room for me again. Maybe he's in the closet?

"What are you looking for?" Bella demanded, "Right, Dad, Edward broke in through the front door, snuck past your room, up the stairs, all silent enough not to wake you. Then, while making out with me, he falls off my bed? C'mon, Dad! Seriously?" I had to bit my lip again. I didn't think I could take much more.

Charlie was embarrassed by the accusation, "I just didn't think you could make so much noise, by yourself."

"Well, apparently I can." Bella snapped. I flinched Poor Charlie! "Look, Dad, I'm sorry. You know how crabby I get when I wake up. I didn't mean to take it out on you. I should probably go back to sleep so I'm not this crabby at breakfast."

Good God, I couldn't take a whole day of Bella snapping at me, Charlie horrified thoughts cried. Who could? I thought "Right, you go back to sleep. I'm sure I was just confused by being woken up, myself," Charlie said starting to close the door.

"Night, Dad," Bella said, climbing into bed. The bed I had just fallen out of. HeHe -Wait, did I just giggle? I really have lost it!

"Night, Bella," Charlie said, I could've sworn his thoughts trailed off.

Charlie retreated downstairs, to the safety of his own bedroom. I rolled out from under the bed, sat up and peeked at Bella. She needed to share in the hilarity. She caught my eyes.

"Combustion!" I cried softly, unable to wipe the stupid grin off my face.

"You think?"she asked in reply, smiling back at me.

I giggled, apparently still at the mercy of my hysterics. "Perhaps practicing here wasn't the best idea." I whispered, giggling again. I hope this isn't going to become a habit, I thought, Emmett will never let up if I start giggling on a regular basis .

"How was I supposed to know you'd fall off the bed?" Bella asked, incredulous.

Fall off the bed! I lost it, the hysterics taking control of me again. "Never," I gasped, "Never in eighty years, have I so much as stumbled,"Too much! Much too much! Finally I was able to catch my breath and sit up. "Only you, could have such an affect as to make a vampire fall out of bed!" Could she possibly have any idea how wonderful she is?

"How did you not make a hole in the floor?" she asked.

I took a deep breath as the giggles threatened once again, "I was able to flip over at the last second and land on my hands and feet. The thud was actually me falling over when I started laughing." I managed to hold them back with a grin.

"You mean you landed, like a cat?" She asked. Charlie thought it more like an elephant! I thought. Suddenly we were both laughing like fools. Bella held a pillow over her beautiful face to muffle the noise. Finally, I was laughed out. It felt like ten tons of brick had been lifted from my shoulders. Apparently, I had been in dire need of a laughing fit.

I watched as something occurred to Bella that sent her into a new wave of hysterics. Watching her body roll and shake with laughter was mesmerizing. If anybody needs a release of tension, it's her, I thought. Bella had been through so many horrible things. It was wonderful to hear her laugh, even through a pillow. I leaned against her desk, thoroughly enjoying the show.

"I'll never be able to get back to sleep now," she said giddily. She wiggled, getting more comfortable in her bed. Watching that of course set my engine right back to idle.

"I'm sure you'll manage," I said softly. I didn't dare move from the desk. In fact, I thought, I should probably throw myself out the window.

Once again, it was as if Bella could read my thoughts. "You're leaving?!" she cried, sounding panicked.

I was instantly at her side, pressing a finger softly to her warm lips. "Shhh, Love, you don't want to wake Charlie, he barely believed your performance the first time." I smiled at the memory of Charlie's thoughts. Then I backed away, still not trusting myself to be so near to her. And her warm body, and her sweet lips, and, I definitely needed to step back.

"No!," Bella cried, a little quieter this time, "Edward, don't go! I can't sleep without you on a normal night. Now I'll never get to sleep without you!"

"Bella," I looked straight into her eyes, so she could see I was serious. "If I get back in that bed with you tonight, I really will combust, and I'm made of ice."

"Please?" she begged softly, gazing at me through lowered lashes.

How can I refuse such a look? I sighed deeply, mumbling, "I would have to fall in love with the most dangerous woman on the planet." Still, I knew I could not get back in that bed, not tonight.

Instead I wrapped her comforter around her warm little body, a few times, just to be safe and sat in the rocking chair, holding her in my lap. "Compromise?" I asked. Unable to keep my hands from her, I stroked her soft hair.

"Perfect," she whispered, snuggling even closer to my body.

She really has no idea what she does to me, I thought, laughing softly. "Silly Bella," I whispered. I settled for kissing the top of her head, though really I wanted to kiss more of her. Good thing I wrapped her up so tight. I continued stroking her hair, placating my need to touch her, and knowing it would sooth her. I began humming the lullaby she inspired and rocked us back and forth. I felt her entire body relax. Mine did too, though not as completely. I knew she would soon be asleep.

When sleep did overtake her, I gently laid her back on her bed. Then I swiftly retreated through the window. I had some idea what her dreams may entail tonight, and for once, didn't think it wise to wait around for her to give voice to them.
