"How'd it go?" Rosalie asked eagerly, wiping her hands on a tea towel and abandoning whatever she was cooking in the kitchen. "Did you find a place you both agree on?"
"Ugh" I huffed perching myself on a bar stool.
"That bad?" she asked as Edward came to stand behind me. She eyed Edward carefully, looking for any sign of an argument.
"We didn't see all of the places" he told her.
Rose frowned in confusion, I launched into re-telling the events of the morning, causing us to high tail it out of the fourth house we were viewing.
"That bitch!"
I nodded fervently, "You should have seen her Rose."
"Seen who?" Emmett asked entering the kitchen and dipping his finger into the mixing bowl to sample what looked like brownie batter.
Rose relayed the story to Emmett whose booming laugh filled the room. "Can't take you anywhere without a cougar throwing herself at you can we, Eddie?"
"Jealous Em?" Edward teased back.
"A little" he pouted causing Rose to smack him upside the back of his head. "Owwww Rosie" Emmett whinged.
"Don't make me do it again" Rose threatened, smiling as she turned back to the brownie mixture.
A few weeks after the Carmen incident we had been so busy with work neither of us had found the time to continue our search for a new place. That suited Em and Rose just fine too because unlike us they were having issues deciding where they wanted to live. Rosalie was being more difficult than normal and Emmett, well he was just being Emmett.
One Wednesday night Edward and I were staying at my apartment for a change watching a movie when we heard the door slam.
"Your brother is an ass" she griped pointing at Edward.
"What's he done this time?" Edward asked.
To my surprise Rosalie burst into tears, resting her face in her hands she began to sob uncontrollably.
"Shit" I muttered wriggling free from a shocked looking Edward's grasp. I jumped up off the sofa and crossed the room quickly. Rosalie Hale rarely ever cried, what the hell was going on?
"Oh Rose what's wrong?" I asked softly pulling her into my arms as she sobbed.
"We just can't decide on where we want to live" she gasped between sobs.
"That's okay sweetie" I told her reassuringly, "You've got plenty of time, you both just need to compromise a little." I rubbed circles on her back.
She nodded pulling away a little, "I'm just being stupid, I've been feeling all hormonal and irrational all week."
I smiled sympathetically, "Want to sit down and watch a movie with us? Take your mind off things?" I offered.
Rose gave me a watery smile, "I don't want to interrupt anything….."
"You're not, sit down Rose" Edward reassured her, smiling as he rose from his seat. "I'll go microwave some popcorn?" he offered.
"Thank you" Rose told him sincerely as she curled up on the spare love seat, grabbing the blanket resting on the back and wrapping it around herself.
Edward returned with the popcorn, a bowl for us and one for Rose and we put in a new DVD. A chick flick to cheer up Rose, she smiled showing her appreciation and began nibbling on her popcorn.
Half way through the movie Rose abruptly stood and bolted down the hall, "I'm gonna be sick" she moaned. The sounds of her vomiting filled the room and I ran off after her to find her bent over the toilet bowl.
"You okay?" I asked her, concerned.
"Ugh yeah" she stood rinsing her face with water from the faucet, "Gross" she muttered grabbing her toothbrush.
I waited for her, making sure she wasn't going to be sick again, "I've been feeling a little off" she shrugged.
I stared at her reflection in the mirror thinking, "Maybe it was that Chinese we got the other night?"
"Mmmm" Rose nodded, "I did eat that chicken dish that the rest of you don't like, must have been that."
"Yeah" I conceded following her back down to the living room.
The following morning we woke to hear Rose retching again, I rushed into the bathroom to find her moaning as she gripped the toilet bowl.
"Were you sick all night?" I asked her helping her up off the cold tile floor.
"Nooooo" she moaned splashing her face with water. "I was cooking breakfast, the smell of the bacon…" Rose rushed to the toilet bowl once more.
All of a sudden everything clicked into place, feeling hormonal, acting irrational, the tears and vomiting…..
"Why don't you have a shower?" I suggested, "I'll call in sick for you and take care of everything."
Rose nodded, she must be feeling like shit. Normally she didn't like being fussed over.
"She okay?" Edward asked when I entered the bedroom, just as he was tying his laces.
"Yeah, just under the weather" I told him, "I'm gonna stay home today, look after her."
"Good idea baby" Edward kissed my lips once, "You need me to stay too? Get you anything for Rose?"
I shook my head, "No I've got this, I'll call you though" I promised.
He nodded, "You're amazing, you know that?" Edward smiled pulling me into his arms.
I sighed relishing in his warm embrace.
"Call me, maybe I can stop by later" he said as I followed him to the front door.
"I will" I smiled.
"Try not to get sick too" he told me.
I fought the urge to giggle, "I'll be fine" I promised, it wasn't like I could catch what was wrong with Rose.
He waved goodbye and I closed and locked the door behind me. Quickly I went to the kitchen and opened the windows to rid the room of the bacon smell. I wrapped up the offending meat and threw it in the bin, cleaning the pan and wiping down the stove top.
Rose emerged from her shower just after I'd spoken to her boss and mine. "Thanks Bella" she hugged me.
"No problem honey, why don't you sit down and I'll make you some tea?"
I had to broach this carefully; I knew Rose wasn't going to handle this well at all.
"When was your last period?"
