I own nothing. Saddest sentence ever. Well.. "You don't want me?" probably is the saddest sentence ever, but you catch my drift.

I can hear Alice giggling in the kitchen.

Fucking Alice.

I groan and bury my face in Bella's hair. I breathe in her glorious scent. My favorite habit. I want to lay here and revel in the fact that I'm waking with Bella in my arms but..

My head fucking hurts.

"Alice, shut the fuck up or.. or I'll tell mom on you!"

I can hear Alice walking into the living room, still fucking giggling.

"You'll tell mom? What are we? 15?"

"Don't fuck with me Alice. It's the best I could come up with. My head fucking hurts so shut the fuck up."

Of course she doesn't shut up, she keeps laughing.

"Get your lazy ass up; breakfast is almost ready."

I sniff for a minute, smelling breakfast.

I smell coffee. Coffee and.. EMMETT'S EGGS!

I shoot up, rolling Bella since my arm was under her.

She yelps then groans, covering her face.

I look Alice dead in the eye.

"Please for the love of God.. Please tell me that's Emmett's special eggs I smell."

I look at her so pleading, so pathetic. But God damn it's been years since I've had his eggs. He used to make them for us every Saturday morning. More often than not we were hung over, but it was always our thing.

She rolls her eyes while Emmett walks into the living room, spatula in hand.

"Damn straight it's my special eggs. We can't celebrate being hung over together without them. Dumbass."

I roll my eyes and fight a smirk. Fuck yeah, those eggs are fucking awesome.

Emmett turns back to the kitchen, followed by Alice while Bella groans and sits up. She whimpers.

"Coffee. Coffee please. Silence. Darkness. Please."

I laugh at her, she's so damn cute.

She rubs the sleep out of her eyes and then whimpers once she opens her eyes again.

"It's too bright."

I put my arm around her, I can't help it. My angel is in pain. She buries her face in my chest and her breathing starts to slow down. She's falling back asleep.

I shake her.

"Bella, breakfast is almost ready."

She sighs.

"Damnit."

She looks over to see Jasper still sprawled across her living room floor. Then she glares at him. I forgot, if Bella has to be awake and hung over, so does everyone else.

"Jasper wake the fuck up. Breakfast is almost ready."

Jasper keeps his eyes closed, it's obvious he's still sleeping, perhaps still drunk, when he responds.

"I've got one more order, dear. Just one more order."

Bella and I look at each other, then bust out laughing.

"It's ready!" Emmett yells from the kitchen, splitting my head in two.

Bella gets up and stomps over to Jasper. She starts kicking him.

"Wake the fuck up, Jasper!"

Jasper jumps in surprise.

"What the fuck, Bella? Haven't you ever heard of gently shaking someone awake? Jesus, stop kicking me!"

Bella stops kicking Jasper, throwing her hands on her hips.

"I yell wake up, you don't. Therefore I kick you."

Jasper rolls his eyes and jumps up.

We walk into the dining room to see six plates full of Emmett's special eggs and hashbrowns. And coffee. I've entered heaven. I swear it.

Rosalie walks out of the kitchen obviously feeling the alcohol from last night. Her hair is a complete mess, sticking out in several directions. Her shirt is half tucked in, half un-tucked. Make up is running down her face. Rosalie is normally so put together, appearance is everything to her.

I can't help it, I laugh.

She doesn't even look at me, just flips me off then walks to a seat.

I sit down next to Bella, still chuckling. Then I look down at my plate. Then I sniff it in. I think I just got a hard on. It's been too damn long.

We all scarf our food down, not even talking. Then we go for seconds, even the women.

Once we're all done, we're just sitting in exhausted silence rubbing our stomachs. Now my stomach hurts, too. Ouch.

"I'm taking a shower. You fuckers need to, too. The smell of you guys sweating alcohol is making me gag."

Bella grimaces then heads towards her bedroom. Jasper is laying his face down on the table while Alice, who looks like she already showered, is rubbing his back.

"I'm stealing your guy's shower. I'll try not to leave any 'Edward's special sauce' on the floor."

Jasper whips his head up and glares at me.

"I swear to God mother fucker. I shower here just as much as I shower at home. So if you even think about degrading my shower you're ass is mine!"

I roll my eyes.

"Like you could take me."

Jasper intensifies his glare.

"Try me, bitch."

I start laughing and head for the shower. Of course I'm not going to beat off in his shower, but 20 bucks says he'll be freaking out before he jumps in.

I jump in the shower and allow the water to relax me. Then my brain turns on.

It's Sunday, meaning tomorrow is Monday.

Fuck.

I just want to stay here. Yesterday was so wonderful, I haven't had that much fun in years.

And Bella. So wonderful, amazing, you name it.. that's what she is. Nothing compares to being by her side again. To falling asleep with her in my arms. To waking up to Bella. I want to do that everyday for the rest of my life.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I couldn't fight my smile when I looked up at Bella. She looked so beautiful. And she had stayed with me all night. Slept sitting up so that I wouldn't be disturbed. She took care of me.

I'll never be able to describe the level of terror I felt when I thought something may have happened to Bella. But the relief in seeing her, God.

I honestly don't know if I'll ever be able to leave her again, regardless of tomorrow.

After washing my hair and body, I explore Jasper's room looking for clothes. The closet had a mixture of both Alice and Jasper's clothes. And the dresser..

Gah.

Alice's uh.. unmentionables.

Jasper is a few inches taller than me but beggars can't be choosers so I grab a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of socks and get dressed. I don't like wearing other people's underwear so I'll just free-ball it today.

My head aches in a dull throb, but I feel refreshed.

I walk into the living room to a sick looking Jasper, an always perky Alice, and a refreshed looking Emmett. Rosalie and Bella must be in the showers.

Jasper stands up to head to the shower glaring at me.

I smirk.

Yeah, bitch. Freak out.

His glare intensifies then he turns and heads towards his room.

Emmett chuckles.

"You got him good."

I smirk.

"I know."

He chuckles louder.

"So what's this I hear about some plan tomorrow? And why the hell aren't I involved? I'm the master of disaster man."

I roll my eyes.

"I don't really know what you could do. You'd have to get with Jasper on that. We're going to try to get Tanya to confess."

Emmett's eyes just about pop out of his head.

"Dude are you fucking serious? Like, you're really doing this?"

I nod.

"Yeah, I'm convinced Bella is innocent. But this is a marriage we're talking about ending; I need proof."

Emmett nods, understanding my point.

It's so nice to sit here and just talk to Emmett. He and I were tight from the day we met, but with everything that happened with Bella there was no way we could keep being friends. He had a responsibility to Bella. Though he didn't have to kick my ass so many times.

"Ok, so what do you guys have figured out so far?"

"I'm going to make up some fake documents that Bella needs to sign for a case I'm representing her firm for. I'm going to ask Tanya to bring them here saying that I don't want to face her.

We're pretty sure that if Tanya thinks they're totally alone, she'll confess. As far as she knows, nobody believes Bella no matter what she says. Jasper is going to plant a bug somewhere so we can listen from outside.

We gotta be close by since we all know Bella is a fighter when it comes to Tanya."

Emmett takes in everything I say and nods absentmindedly.

"Okay, and where are you getting your equipment?"

I look at him confused.

"Equipment?"

He rolls his eyes.

"Bugs, head sets so you can hear them, all that shit?"

"That's Jasper's department."

Emmett points to himself.

"Now it's my department. Cop remember? We've got all that shit down at the station. Leave the little details to Jasper and Rosalie, that's their kind of thing."

I nod, it is. Rosalie might actually be better than Jasper at the little things. Between the two of them, they'll think of everything.

"Thanks, man."

He pounds my fist.

"No, problem. Our shower just turned off so I'll go fill Rosalie in while she's getting dressed."

"Alright."

He walks towards their room and I'm left with only Alice. She's looking at me smirking.

"What?"

"You're doing the right thing, Edward. I'm proud of you."

I smile at my sister. She hasn't looked at me like this since Bella and I split. It hurt her like it hurt Bella and me. I'm sure it hurt her even more to see the pain I was going through on a daily basis.

"Thank you, Alice."

She winks.

"Of course, bubby. Now, my department will be fashion. Bella has to look hot for this show down. And we all need black gear to make this official."

My heart warms when she calls me bubby. She used to call me that all the time when we were kids, and I honestly don't remember the last time she called me it.

Then, of course, she goes all Alice on me and has to make this plan into some sort of fashion show.

"Whatever you say, Alice. But I'm not getting farther behind everyone just to change into some black shit. As soon as I'm in the clear, I'm rushing my ass over here. I can't miss anything and I sure as hell can't let Bella get hurt."

Alice rolls her eyes.

"Please, Edward. Tanya has an ass kicking coming to her. It's about time we let Bella loose. And there's no way in hell Tanya stands a chance. I heard about Antonio's, I saw the damage after the wedding. Tanya's going down."

True. If I hear her confess to this, I'll love nothing more than to watch Bella beat her ass. But I just can't risk Bella, no matter how good of a fighter she is.

"Sorry, Alice. But I can't risk her. She's everything to me."

"I know."

We sit there smiling at each other while Bella walks into the living room. She's wearing pajama pants and a t-shirt. Her hair is up in a messy bun and you can tell she's fighting a head ache. Well she isn't going anywhere today.

Bella smiles softly at me while she plops down on the couch next to me.

"I need you two to go grab your clothes, I'm getting laundry started soon. Tell the others."

Bella can't possibly be planning on doing our laundry.

"Don't worry about it, Bella. I'll take care of it."

Bella glares at me. I actually feel a little frightened.

"No, you won't. You're terrible about picking up your dirty clothes. You're actually the reason why there's so many hampers in this house. Each bedroom and each bathroom has a hamper. I guarantee your dirty clothes are sitting on Jasper's bathroom floor. Am I right?"

I look down, kind of shamed. Of course she's right.

"Yeah, you're right. But you don't have to do my laundry."

She rolls her eyes. She begins to respond but Alice interrupts.

"It's how it is over here at Bella's. Don't worry, you'll get your favorite hoodie back. She'll put it in your closet just like our clothes. Bella are you giving him that spare closet that's got a little bit of junk in it in your room?"

Bella looks at Alice wide eyed.

"Uh.. We haven't, I mean Edward and I haven't.. I don't know?"

I can't help but chuckle at her being put on the spot. We haven't discussed any reconciliation plans, but after tomorrow we can have that conversation. I just need my proof.

I decide to save Bella from this torture. Alice knows what she's doing. That's her way of figuring out where Bella and I are in terms of a relationship.

"Alice, back off. When we know something, you'll know something. Don't you have some black clothes to go buy?"

"We need to have a team meeting first, duh!"

I roll my eyes. Shit head.

"What are you guys talking about?"

I look to my side and smile at Bella.

"Rosalie, Emmett, and Captain Alice here are all part of the plan now. Emmett's going to get some equipment from the station. Rosalie will coordinate with Jasper on everything we won't think of. They'll probably be the ones to prepare you. And our darling Alice here is in charge of fashion."

"Fashion? What do you mean fashion?"

Alice interrupts my answer, or rather sarcastic comment.

"Well, I can't have you looking like shit when you victor over Tanya. And the rest of us need black gear. That's how it works."

"That's how it works?"

"Geez, Bella. I need to take you out to the movies more often. Of course that's how it works. We have to make this official."

Bella nods like she understands but I'm sure she's thinking about how crazy Alice is, just like I am.

Rosalie and Jasper walk into the living room looking a lot better, followed by Emmett. They talk amongst themselves until Emmett turns to me.

"I've filled in Rosalie and updated Jasper on the changes."

"Ok, good. I guess we need to iron out our details?"

Both Rosalie and Jasper start to speak but Alice speaks over both of them.

"You guys missed me being named the head of the fashion department. Now, I was thinking we could.."

I interrupt her.

"Alice! We don't care what we're wearing. Pick out the damn black clothes and viola! Mission accomplished. Now Rosalie, Jasper what were you saying?"

Alice glares at me hard core but I don't care. We don't need to know every single detail of what we're wearing.

Rosalie clears her throat.

"Ok, Bella's garage only has room for three cars. Bella's car will be in there, of course. Alice and Jasper will bring the SUV which will be our command post and Emmett and I will park in there as well.

Edward, when you arrive, turn off your head lights when you turn on the corner. We can't risk her knowing you're here. Pass Bella's house, hang a right on the first road you come to, then hang a right on the ally behind her house. Don't drive too fast, but not too slow. Park in her back yard, behind the garage. There's a door to the garage that's facing the house so you have to be extremely quiet and stealthy as hell.

If you don't have time to change into your black gear, make sure you're wearing a dark suit buttoned up and everything. We can't have Tanya seeing a white shirt so darker colors.

Emmett will not only get us audio, but we're going to have video as well. So be ready for a show."

I nod, sounds easy enough. I just have to be convincing enough to get Tanya here.

Jasper clears his throat.

"Now, Bella. Your job is the absolute hardest. Tanya loves to gloat. Play that up. I know you can pull this off, but that will be your best angle. Let her get cocky. The cockier the better. It'll make it a lot easier to get her to spill. I'll come by your office in the afternoon to help you get your game face on. You've got to be as natural as possible. Or pissed really; Tanya would be surprised if you were calm.

Emmett will be stationed at headquarters, aka my car, to keep the equipment working and running. Rosalie and I will be stationed outside of the house ready to enter when necessary. Rosalie will be by the side door in the event that this happens in the living room. I'll be stationed out front in case this happens in the front hall.

Alice, I need quiet shoes. No heels. Light clothing and especially light shoes. Try to make the clothes tight fitting as well. At least for Rosalie and I. We'll have to be hiding when Tanya gets here and we can't be getting stuck on branches and stuff. You're going to arm the door and let Edward in when he gets here.

Emmett will only be working a half day tomorrow. He'll get the equipment and bring it here to set up. Bella, you won't know where the cameras are because we don't want you to hint where they're at. You're a shitty actress as it is, but I have faith in you. Well, actually I have faith that Tanya is a complete moron so whatever.

Emmett will also be meeting up with everybody during the day to drop off your headsets. These head sets will allow us to hear everything Bella and Tanya say, but we can also communicate. Edward, these headsets have a five mile radius so you won't miss much if you're not too far behind Tanya. Let us know when you get here so Alice can get that door open.

No slamming car doors or garage doors. Absolute silence."

There's a slight sense of anticipation in the air. Perhaps we're taking this too seriously, but I feel ready to go into battle or some shit.

I look over at Bella and damn does she have her game face on. Her expression is controlled but I can see the fire in her eyes. She's ready for this. She can pull this off. We all can.

"Ok, I've got to go shopping. I'll drop off Rosalie and Emmett's clothing at your house if you two aren't here when I get back. Edward, why don't you meet Emmett and me for lunch tomorrow and we'll give you everything at once. Perhaps go over some last minute details and help you get ready for Tanya. And you better wear what I buy you. Antonio's at 12:10, no later.

Bella, you're going to look fabulous tomorrow. Be home by 5:30. I'll meet you here to get you dressed.

What time is this whole she-bang going down by the way?"

We all turn our heads to Jasper and Rosalie.

"It has to be pitch black outside to help keep us hidden. Edward, try to arrive home at about 8:00. Approach her at about 8:15 with this. Go through your usual coming home routine. We don't want her suspicious. Knowing Tanya, she'll jump at the chance so she'll be out the door be 8:25. It's a 10 minute drive so estimated time of arrival for Tanya will be 8:35. Followed by Edward at 8:40.

Edward, I need you to text Emmett as soon as she leaves. Emmett will notify the rest of the team. Change your clothes, that will put enough distance between you and Tanya.

Everyone's phones must be on vibrate and left in the car. We can't have back lights going off to give away locations, and sound should be obvious."

We all nod at Rosalie while Alice kisses Jasper and runs out the door to get our "black gear."

I sigh and sit back, closing my eyes.

"Guys, what time is it?"

I keep my eyes closed, waiting for an answer.

"About 11:15." Responds my Bella.

I groan. I should be home around noon, meaning I should leave at about 10 til. I open my eyes and look at Bella.

"I gotta leave in like half an hour."

Bella's eyes become so full of sadness. I'm sure my eyes are matching hers. She nods once then looks down.

I lift her chin with my thumb and index finger, forcing her to look at me.

"Bella, everything is going to be ok."

She nods then looks back down. I can't leave my angel upset. I stand up and extend a hand to Bella. She looks up at me confused, but puts her hand in mine anyway and allows me to lead her through her dining room and out her back door.

When we walk outside, I close the door behind us but keep a hold of Bella's hand. I start rubbing soothing circles with my thumb while I give her a look full of conviction.

"Bella, everything is going to be alright. I promise."

Bella looks down again.

"Bella, look at me."

She looks up and keeps her eyes on mine.

"I mean it. We're going to pull this off. You're innocent Bella, I know it. I can feel it. You're going to be wonderful tomorrow."

Bella's eyes water with tears.

"Edward, what if I can't get her to admit it? What if I can't pull this off? It'll be over, Edward."

Her body starts to shake with sobs and I pull her to to me, hugging her tightly.

"Bella, love, shhh.. I promise you it's going to be ok. If this doesn't work, we'll figure something else out. I promise. But I'm not shutting you out of my life again. I can't do it. You're everything to me. And this weekend has been the best weekend of my life. I've never been so happy before."

Her body calms down slightly, but I can tell she is still crying. I run my hands in soothing circles on her back, willing her to stop crying. Every tears she sheds shoots pain through my heart.

"Bella, I'm doing this for you. I want to be with you, Bella. Forever. This isn't some silly romance we're talking about though. We're talking about ending a marriage. I need something to back that up. But this will also prove to everyone that doubts you that you're innocent. After this, no one will dare say shit to you.

This is for us, love. We can start fresh and be together. Some day get married and have children. And be happy. Like you said. It's all I want Bella.

If our plan somehow falls through, or if you can't get her to admit it then we'll go from there. But I'm not going to abandon you again. My heart can't handle it."

At this point, I'm rocking us side to side, still trying to soothe her. He cries have died down to the occasional sniffle, but it feels so good having her in my arms. And I need her to be ok.

The next 34 hours or so are going to be stressful as hell.

"I'll call you tomorrow from work. I'll talk to you all day if you let me. We're going to get through this. Then you and I will finally get everything we've always dreamed of. I believe that. Please believe it, too. Believe in me."

She steps out of my arms then cups my face in her hands.

"I do believe in you, Edward. I've always believed in you. I'm just worried that I'm going to lose you again. This weekend has been so beautiful, for all of us. I'm just scared to death of not pulling this off. It won't just affect us. It affects all of them, too. Our fate rests on me, and I'm a shitty actress! I just.. I just don't want to lose this, you know?"

I slide my hands around her waist then rest my forehead against hers.

"I know, love. I know."

I keep us in our position and gently rock us side to side. I close my eyes, willing myself to remember this. Her smell, the feel of her body in my arms, the sound of her voice. This moment is what is going to get me through the next 34 hours.

"Bella, tonight when I'm at home I'm going to be thinking about this feeling. How I feel with you. And when I dream tonight, I'll dream of you. You're going to be in my thoughts every single second until I see you again.

And don't you dare freak out and think I'm going to change my mind. Because I know you're going to. But there isn't a chance in hell I'll ever give this feeling up again. You're my world, Bella. You've been my world for six years. And you're going to continue to be my world until the day I die."

With our foreheads still connected, Bella opens her eyes and a tears falls down her cheek. I reach up and wipe it away with my thumb. But it's a happy tear. I can see the smile in her eyes.

Then, I can't resist myself. I kiss her.

Ever so gently, my lips rub against hers.

I back away a few inches and look at her. She opens her eyes and smiles. I lean forward and kiss her again, adding a little more pressure. Her lips are so soft and warm. My lips pull her bottom lip between them as she reaches her hands around my neck and pulls my face towards her.

I trace her lip with my tongue and then her tongue connects to mine.

I gently massage her tongue, enjoying the feeling of intimate contact with her. It's been so long. I pull back and lightly peck her lips once, twice, three times and pull back to smile at her.

I don't know when I realized that Bella is completely innocent, but I know it in my soul. I'm not afraid of following my heart, of ending my marriage. Bella's right, those vows are shit. Bella is what matters most to me and I will not go the rest of my life without her.

Maybe I knew it all along and was just afraid to believe it.

But one thing is for certain, I'm never leaving Bella again.

There ya have it, folks! Hope you enjoyed it. We should have chappie 7 up here in a day or two. Let me know what ya think!
