Getting Along

Bella

I looked up at Edward's green eyes looking for any sign of frustration. None. He laughed instead.

"I don't see anything funny about that." I said flatly.

"That was a horrible joke." He said continuing to laugh.

"That wasn't a joke!" I insisted.

"Of course it is. Who would even do something like that? That's stupid." He said looking at me with a grin.

"Well maybe I wasn't the smartest then." I mumbled.

"Wait this is true?" What a smart kid he is.

"Yes." I sighed then stood up.

"Where are you going?" He asked looking at me confused.

"To go do something you wouldn't do."

"Which is?"

"Apologize to Matt." I said before leaving the room. As I got to the stairs I looked down and saw that everyone had been quiet maybe they were trying to listen in but I'm not that sure about it. I noticed Rosalie, Esme and my mother making their way through the crowd first then my dad right after. "I'm fine I'm fine." I said continuing to walk through the house.

"I told you he wasn't right for her look how she always is after they are together alone." I heard someone say as I sped by I think it was Jessica's attempt to whisper to Mike. It made tears come to my eyes knowing that what she had said was true. It wasn't usual that I ended up happy around Edward. Maybe it was my fault. I noticed after a while that the footsteps behind me stopped as I got closer to Matt's house. When I finally reached the house my feet where beginning to hurt. I knocked on the door and sure enough he answered with a smile.

"Hey." He said with a small smile.

"Hi." I said smiling awkwardly.

"Would you like to come in?" He asked chuckling softly.

"Yeah that sounds nice." I laughed walking inside with him. We both sat down on the couch next to each other. Honestly, our relationship wasn't awkward. We could still think of each other as best friends or brother and sister like.

"So what's up?" He asked looking at me.

"What? Oh well I came here to apologize to you about Edward's behavior." I sighed looking down at my hands. "I think he's just still uncomfortable around you."

"Because I'm gay?"

"No because you.. Well beat him up." I said looking up at him now trying not to smile. Now that I look back at it I joke around about it more. Edward doesn't really seem to mind it when we are alone.

"Oh right. I had almost forgot about that." He muttered which kind of made me feel bad.

"Sorry." I bit my lip this time.

"Don't worry about it. You know you could have just called me right?" He asked with a small grin appearing on his face.

"Well it's not the same as saying it in person."

"So you just left your baby shower to say sorry to me?" I didn't realize how stupid it really sounded.

"Pretty much." I laughed. "I guess I should get back before they start some kind of serious search."

"Would you like for me to give you a ride?" He asked standing up.

"Please." I stood up after him and we headed to the door. After a short drive we reached the Cullen house. He had insisted that he didn't want to come inside.

I watched him drive off then walked in on my own. I guess they ended the party because everyone was pretty much gone.

"Bella?" Edward asked standing up from the couch he was sitting up. "Where did you go?"

"To Matt's house."

"Why are you so attached to him?" He frowned.

"Well he is my friend. Probably my best friend." I reminded him.

"I'm sorry Esme." I said turning to her. "I didn't mean for things to turn out like this."

"It's alright sweetheart." She sounded so calm I don't know how she does it.

"I'm ready to go Edward." I said looking down.

"Alright." He said then walked over to his mother to give her a hug then she hugged me before we left.

"I'm sorry Edward." I mumbled.

"Why are you so sorry?" He asked tapping the wheel.

"For what happened back there." I said looking up at him.

"It's the hormones." He said softly which made me laugh a little.

"Of course it is." I said as he pulled up to our house. We both got out and went into the house to settle in I had went into the nursery to put up some of the things for the baby. I looked around the color-less room and sighed walking downstairs to the living room where Edward sat watching T.V by himself.

"Hey." I said softly standing by the entrance to the room.

"Hey." He said looking up at me from the screen.

"Where you busy?" I said walking into the room and sitting down next to him.

"Just watching the game. But it's on a commercial now." He said nodding towards the T.V.

"So you have time to talk?" I asked looking at him.

"About what?" He asked raising an eyebrow as if there was something that he would avoid talking to me about.

"Our little situation." He had put the T.V on mute and turned to me.

"Do you mean the baby? If you wanna talk about that then we will. No distractions." He said which made me feel a little bit better about some things.

It made me feel like he would be a good father too. I mean not a lot of men would put the football game on mute to talk to their girlfriend about their feelings and babies. The thought made me smile a little.

"Yes the baby."

"What about it?" He asked he looked a little bit worried. "You aren't thinking about last minute adoption are you?"

"No! No." No wonder he was worried.

"Good. Then what's going on?" He said with a small sigh of relief.

"Maybe I want the room painted." I started.

"What color would we paint it then? We don't-"

"I know-"

"The gender? You know?"

"No!" I said laughing a little bit now. "Just let me finish."

"Right. Sorry." He said smiling a little now.

"It's fine. I know that we don't know the gender. So we can call the doctor and set up an appointment to find out. Then we could decorate the room in time for the baby to be here." I said looking up at him for his replied.

"That sounds good to me." He said simply with a small smile. "What do you hope it's going to be?" He asked me suddenly.

"Well I don't really care. I would love it either way." I said with a dreamy smile I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. "What about you?"

"I really want a boy." He said simply. "I mean not that I wouldn't love it if it was a girl."

"Why a boy?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Someone around to play rough with." He chuckled.

"Girls can do whatever guys can."

"Of course they can." He said with a small grin.
