Chapter 28

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

"You don't seem to have a concussion but just to be on the safe side you shouldn't go to sleep for the next two hours," Carlisle said as he lightly touched my skull.

"So everything is okay with her?" Edward asked as Carlisle stood up.

We both looked at him a bit confused at his emphasis of the word everything, "What exactly do you mean by everything?" I asked.

He pursed his lips and looked from me to Carlisle. We waited patiently for an answer. I think I was more curious about what he meant and Carlisle was a bit upset at the fact that his son doubted his skills.

He rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably, "I umm nothing."

"I've been doing this since you were born…you think I wouldn't know if something was wrong with her?" Carlisle asked a bit annoyed.

"No of course you would…I just," he looked back over at me, "I just want to make sure she's fine." He was lying. Sure he did want to make sure I was fine but there was a double meaning to his words. The thing is I couldn't figure out what.

Carlisle sighed before he lightly placed his hand on Edward's shoulder, "She'll be fine…she is fine. Stop worrying or you're going to get wrinkles," he told him jokingly before he started packing his stuff to leave.

I stood up and placed my hands in my pockets, "Thanks for coming."

He grabbed his bag and straightened out, "Anytime. Just call me up if you need anything else."

I nodded as I followed him to the door, "Bye Carlisle."

"Bye Bella," he bowed his head a bit and walked out the door. I closed the door behind him and turned around to see Edward with a thoughtful expression.

"So are you going to explain what happened in there?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest. I wasn't mad just annoyingly curious.

He blinked and looked up at me, "Huh?"

"I said are you going to explain what happened in there?" I repeated.

"Oh…nothing," he said with a shake to his head and turned around to head back to the living room.

I dropped my hands to my sides and followed him, "Are you sure? Cause if you want to talk about something I'm here," I told him softly.

He grabbed his keys from the table and turned to look at me with a soft expression. He sighed before he walked over to me and placed one hand on my waist, his thumb lightly on the side of my stomach, and the other hand cupped my cheek, "We'll talk about it later. I have to go to the police station to see what they want." He leaned in and lightly kissed my lips, "Make sure you stay awake for two hours," he reminded me.

"I'm going to take Carlie to the park for a bit," I informed him.

"How are you getting there?" he asked.

"Walking…can't drive for another two hours either," I told him.

He moved his hand up and cupped my other cheek, "Be careful," he said with intensity in his eyes.

"I will," I whispered back as I looked back into his eyes. He looked into my eyes for a couple more seconds before he leaned down and delicately kissed my top lip. I slowly brought my arms up and wrapped them around his neck.

He slid his hand down to my waist and pulled my body closer to his. My lips parted giving him access to enter his tongue inside and deepen the kiss. This was definitely not an 'I'll be right back' kiss this was a 'we should take this upstairs' kind of kiss.

I smiled against his lips before I chuckled and pulled away, "You need to go."

He pouted, "But I don't want to go now."

His words sounded all too familiar. I shook my head from the expression on his face and made sure to keep smiling. I reached up and gently kissed his lips with a smile, "Bye."

He frowned before he sighed, "I'll be back soon. Don't stay at the park too late," he said as he headed for the door.

"You sound like my father," I told him with a small chuckle.

He grinned, "Good because someone needs to teach you how to behave."

I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him lightly, "I do know how to behave until someone around here."

He continued backing up towards the door, "I agree. One of us should really teach Carlie better." I couldn't help but grin at him, "I'll see you later. Love you."

"Love you too," I called to him before he closed the door. I sighed as I started walking upstairs to get changed. I walked over to Carlie's room first, "Get ready we're going to the park," I said as I popped my head in.

She was on the ground playing with her toys, "Okay…is daddy going with us?" she asked.

"No he had to go somewhere but he'll come home later okay?" I asked her with a small smile.

She nodded, "Okay mommy." I closed the door behind me and went to my room to change out of my pajamas. I was changing rather slowly. I had a lot on my mind right now. Mostly about what Edward had said. Does he think I'm still depressed? Maybe he thinks I'll kill myself? That could have been what he meant when he asked if everything was okay with me.

I'm starting to not like that word anymore. It seems to always bring up weird discussions between us. Not an argument per say but a weird conversation. What exactly did he mean this time though? I shook my head to clear my mind and quickly walked over to Carlie's room once I was done getting ready.

"You ready to go?" I asked.

She stood up and wobbled over to me. I lifted her up in my arms and placed her on my hip, "Yup, Yup, Yup!" Apparently she had been watching 'The land before time' recently. I smiled at her before I kissed her cheek.

"Should we take the stroller?" I asked her.

"We're not going in the car?" she asked.

"No, mommy can't drive today," I informed her.

"Oh…okay then let's take the stroller because I don't want to walk," she said as she twisted a piece of my hair around her finger.

The walk to the park was quiet and a bit slow. Once we got there I set the stroller next to an empty bench and walked over with Carlie to the swings. "I can do it myself mommy," she told me stubbornly as she walked over and got on a swing.

I smiled at her, "Okay I get it. You're a big girl now. I'm sorry," I apologized.

She smiled as she started swinging and shook her head, "Its okay mommy. You don't need to apologize."

I took a couple steps back so I wouldn't get hit by any of the kids' feet and stopped by the sandbox. I crossed my arms over my chest and watched Carlie swing herself happily. My heart fluttered in my chest at how happy she looked. It made me smile. I had always seen her happy before but now that everything is the way it should be it was like she was really truly happy. And it made me happy.

I was broken out of my thoughts when I felt something bump into the back of my leg and a small "Oomph," come from behind me.

I slowly turned around to find a cute little black haired boy sitting on his bottom looking up at me a bit puzzled and dazed. He had dark brown eyes and his features looked familiar for some strange reason. "Jacob?!" I looked up and found out why his features looked so darn familiar.

"Are you okay sweetie?" she asked as she bent down to his level. He nodded as he stood up.

"Alice?" I asked with a smile on my face.
