Chapter 27

"And what if it doesn't?" I asked as I peered up at him from under my lashes.

"Then she'll adjust," he replied back instantly. I stayed quiet as I let it all sink in.

Carlie came walking in the room just then, "I brought you a glass of water too mommy," she said as she held the glass up.

I reached up for the glass but ended up missing it. Was my vision that bad? Edward took the glass and I could feel the concern through his body. He also took the bottle and took out two pills, "Open your mouth."

"What? Why?" I asked confused.

"You can't even get the glass I doubt you can put pills in your mouth," he retorted.

I glared lightly and reached for the pills in his hand that was outstretched in front of me but ended up touching his knee. I sighed, "Fine."

I opened my mouth and he popped them in my mouth before he placed the glass to my lips and tilted it back a bit so I could drink them down. He placed the glass on the floor and lightly took me off of him. I looked up at him once he stood up and took my upper arms.

I must have really bumped my head because I could see two of him. I smiled up at him, "Why didn't you tell me you had such a gorgeous twin?" I think the pills were acting up. Or maybe the bump on my head knocked some of my maturity out.

They smiled down at me but I could see the worry in their eyes, "I don't care what you say," he said as he lifted me up in his arms, "I am calling my father to come take a look at you," he finished as he lightly placed me on the couch.

"Can I help daddy?" Carlie asked as she took my hand in hers.

He bent down to her level as he pressed the phone to his ear, "Of course princess, just make sure mommy doesn't fall asleep."

"How?" she asked as she looked from him to me.

"Hit her if you have to just make sure she doesn't fall asleep," he told her before he stood up and started talking on the other line.

I was starting to feel drowsy now that he mentioned it. "No mommy, stay awake!" she said as she tugged on my arm.

I opened my eyes wider and looked over at her, "Okay," I whispered back.

"Mommy…please don't die," she begged.

I brought my hand up to touch her hair but it ended up hitting the air, "I'm not going to die sweetie I just hit my head."

My eyes were starting to close again, "Daddy!" Carlie suddenly yelled.

I snapped my eyes open and looked at her, "I'm awake I'm…" gosh I want to just knock out. Exhaustion just wanted to completely take over me and I was willing.

I felt a shove on my shoulder making me pry and eye open, "Don't fall asleep," Edward said. He still had the phone to his ear.

"But I'm sleepy," I complained in a low mumble.

"You want me to do what?" he asked from the other line. He had a bewildered expression on his face, "Are you sure it'll work?" he asked. He waited for a response before he sighed.

He turned towards the table to get something and before I knew what was happening I felt cold water hit my face. I quickly sat up and gasped from the cold water that was running down my hair and neck, "What did you do that for?!" I asked in a shrill voice.

"You need to stay awake," he told me sternly, "And my dad told me to," he said in guilt with an apologetic expression.

I wiped the water off of my face and was supposed to look at him in a glare but the expression on his face just hit a soft spot in me. He is after all just looking out for me. I reached up to kiss his lips but ended up kissing his cheek. Maybe I should get checked over.

He had already hung up the phone by then. He looked into my eyes in worry as if he knew I was aiming for his lips and closed his eyes before he leaned his forehead against my temple. "You're worrying me Bella," he whispered to me.

"I'm fine Edward," I whispered back to him.

He pulled away to look at me, "You are not fine Bella. You can't even see straight."

Now that he mentioned it I had been ignoring the fact that there was two of him although they were fading into each other more than before. "Well it's not all bad. I mean I get to see two of you," I said with a grin.

He frowned at me, "This isn't like you."

I frowned before tried to rest my head on his shoulder. Of course I failed at that too. Edward had to catch me by the shoulders before I fell head first on the ground…or into the table. He lifted the top half of me up and rested me against him. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Don't fall asleep," Edward told me.

"I won't," I whispered so low it was barely audible. I was starting to get scared now. What if I like had internal bleeding in my head or something?

"You think you can go play upstairs in your room princess?" Edward asked Carlie from behind me.

"Is mommy going to be okay?" she asked in a tiny voice.

"She'll be fine as soon as grandpa looks her over," he told her.

I could hear her tiny footsteps walking away and up the stairs. I stayed quiet as I tried to clear my mind. Maybe that's all I needed to do. Maybe I just needed to stop and think clearly. My mind seemed foggy but it seemed to be like that because of all the emotion I had been feeling this morning.

So far I hadn't been having a better day like the cop wanted me to have. My mind slowly started to clear up although now I was painfully aware of the throbbing in the back of my head. I slowly leaned away from Edward's shoulder and looked at him.

I couldn't help but smile that I only had one husband again. He seemed confused by the smile. "How do you feel?" he asked as he lightly placed his hand on my cheek.

I placed my hand on top of his, "Better…kind of," I replied back truthfully.

"Well my head hurts but other than that I feel fine," I told him.

He scrutinized my face before he asked, "Is it weird that whenever one bad thing happens to you a lot follow after that that same day?"

I bit my lip lightly before I moved my hand back down to my lap, "Yeah but I have something that makes all of it go away afterwards like it had never happened."

His brows furrowed in confusion, "What?"

I smiled before I leaned in and lightly kissed his bottom lip, "You," I whispered once I pulled away. I watched as his lips slowly curved up into my favorite crooked smile.

He lifted me up and placed me on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his arm around my waist securely. He pressed his face into my neck and breathed in deeply, "I love you so much. I don't know what I would do without you."

I smiled as my heart beat accelerated at his words, "You didn't have to wet me you know."

He chuckled lightly against my neck, "It worked didn't it?"

I cocked my head slightly side to side, "I guess."

He pulled away to look at me, "You know it helped."

I sighed in defeat, "Yeah…but you got my hair all wet," I complained before I looked down at my shirt, "And my bra."

He looked down my shirt, "Hey!" I quickly pressed my shirt against my chest with my hand.

He chuckled, "You're acting like I've never seen your breasts before."

I smiled, "I know you have but Carlie is still in the house and your dad is on his way over here."

"Just because I look doesn't mean I'm going to do anything," he reasoned.

I bit the side of my lip with a smile, "Uh huh yeah sure."

"What? You think I can't control myself?" he asked skeptically.

"Sometimes you can't," I told him truthfully.

"Well you can't either," he retorted back lamely.

I chuckled, "I can actually. I went two years without even thinking about that," I smiled, "You'd think you of all people would be able to control yourself since you didn't sleep with me the first six years of this relationship."

"That's because I didn't know what it would be like at that time. Now that I know what I'm missing I just…can't control myself like I used to," he replied back honestly as he looked at my chest.

"My eyes are up here Edward," I told him a bit annoyed.

The bell rang interrupting our weird discussion, "Come in," Edward called out as he set me down on the couch and stood up.
