A/N: This chapter goes out to Dr. Cullen who gave me the idea. Read and review? Enjoy!

Trivia: The quote "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb" came exactly 5 years after the quote "Can't the lion cuddle up with the lamb", which was debuted in the year 2000 as a quote from Wolf in The 10th Kingdom.

One Little Lump

"Urgh! This stinks!"

"It'd be easier if you'd shut your eyes for more than two seconds."

"That's easy for you to say!"

"Bella, please, just calm down."

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?"

"You could at least try going to sleep."

"Edward, I did try!" Bella groaned, tossing her head back against her pillow. "I've been trying all night, but I just can't sleep."

What she was saying was true. Edward had been trying to give her solace ever since she laid her head down. There was no reason for her to still be awake. It wasn't as if she had just downed a galleon of non-decaf coffee or anything. After a full day of doing nothing but watching old Disney movies, she should be begging for sleep.

Deciding that the best way to get through this little situation was to dissect the problem, Edward began his interrogation.

"Bella, what's different about tonight? Is it your pillow?"

"No. It's normal."

"What about your blankets? Perhaps you're allergic to the soap you washed them in."

"I used the same soap I always do…" Bella groaned, already getting weary of his tirade of questions.

"Your mattress?"

Bella's eyes widened as she threw the covers off and crawled over Edward in an attempt to get to the floor.

"I'll take that as a yes." He murmured under his breath, following her off of the bed.

"Edward, you're brilliant!" Bella exclaimed as she knelt on the cold floor. "It feels as if there's an elephant under it or something." She continued as she attempted to push at the mattress.

"An elephant?" Edward scoffed at the absurdity of her previous statement.

"It could happen."

"I doubt it; but perhaps a television remote?"

With one swift flick of his hand, Edward flipped the mattress up against the wall.

A tiny speck of green was visible among the ivory box spring. Edward snatched it up and held it up to his face, examining it.

"Bella?"

"Yes, Edward?"

"Why was there a pea under your mattress?"

"Umm…" Bella racked her memory, trying to find a reasonable explanation. There was none.

Sighing, Edward tossed the pea out of her window, still opened from when he came in, and tucked Bella back in.

Once they were both settled comfortably, Bella noted, "I can't believe that one little lump, as small as a pea, in my mattress kept me awake."

Smirking, Edward ran his arm up and down the length of Bella's arm.

"You know what they say," He whispered in her ear as he pulled her dark hair aside. "Only a real princess would have been able to feel it; and Bella, you have always been, and eternally will be, my princess."
