Responsibility
"Where'd Alice go?" asks Toby looking around. Suddenly I was being tackled to the ground and something or someone was sitting on my back giggling like an idiot. Alice was definitely hyper. I groan and try to look back at Alice.
"Alice, get off of me!" I growl. Alice giggles again.
"Let's play leap frog!" shouts Alice happily.
"Alice, I think it'd be better if you got off of Bella. We have to go to Sam and Emily's house," says Edward.
"Maybe we should have waited to give Alice the monsters," I groan as Alice jumps up and climbs onto Emmett's back.
"Giddy up!" yells Alice as she kicks Emmett's sides with her little booted feet. Soon we were at Sam and Emily's. We had made it there just as Sam was walking out the door.
"Sorry, I'm late. Alice is a bit wound up today," I admit. I wasn't about to tell him that Alice had just consumed 5 monsters in under ten minutes.
"I want another monster!" demands Alice. I turn and glare at Emmett and Alice.
"If you give her another monster Emmett, so help me I'm going to sick the entire pack on you two," I growl.
"Man, someone's grumpy," says Emmett causing Alice to giggle. Edward places his hand on my shoulder and rubs it soothingly. I sigh heavily and turn back to Sam.
"Monster?" he asks incredulously.
"We just thought she'd get sick. We didn't actually expect her to become hyper," I say.
"And why is the newborn here?" asks Sam. I look back at Toby who was standing next to Emmett. At Sam's mentioning his presence he'd begun scowling at Sam.
"If he was dangerous I'd be dead by now. He hasn't made a move against me and if you haven't noticed he hasn't started attacking the neighbors," I say.
"And Emmett?" asks Sam.
"Carlisle sent him with me just in case something does happen and I can't reach you immediately," I say.
"Well Emily is taking a nap, so keep it down," says Sam as he begins walking towards the woods. We all go inside and sit around the living room. After about 20 minutes of utter silence I could see Alice and Toby getting fidgety.
"Sam might have some playing cards around the house. We could play cards," I suggest.
"I wanna play poker!" shouts Alice just before Edward can cover her mouth.
"Yeah, strip poker!" bellows Emmett.
"Emmett, shut-up, Emily is trying to sleep!" shouts Alice after having gotten Edward to remove his hand. He had a disgusted look on his face and was looking around the room while holding his hand away from him. I had a feeling Alice had licked his hand. Emmett had begun giggling and Toby looked slightly worried.
I sigh heavily and bury my face in my hands. Edward was now wiping his hand on a tissue and Alice was looking smug.
"Cards won't work because Alice can see the future and Edward can read minds," says Toby. I was a little surprised that Toby knew that.
"True…maybe Emily has a different game we can play," I say walking out of the living room to a hall closet. I open it and find several board games. There didn't appear to be any good games though. I go back to the living room and turn on the TV.
"I'm bored," whines Alice.
"Well I don't think there's a game on this planet we can play without you or Edward being able to cheat," I say.
"Just because we can cheat doesn't mean we will," says Alice innocently.
"But since the opportunity is there you more than likely will. You always cheat Alice," I say dryly. Edward chuckles just as I hear a door open followed by footsteps. Emily appears in the living room seconds later.
"Hello everyone," says Emily looking around the room.
"Hi Emily," we all chorus. Emily smiles and walks into the kitchen. I follow her.
"I apologize if we were too loud," I say.
"Oh no, I woke up on my own," says Emily with a smile before going to the cupboard and pulling some stuff down.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"I thought I'd make some cookies for everyone when they got back from their patrols," says Emily.
"Would you like some help? Emmett's a great mixer," I say. Just then Emmett, Alice, and Toby walk in.
"Bells, I'm going to take Alice and Toby home. They're bored," says Emmett. I nod and they were gone. Then Edward walks in and wraps his arms around my waist.
"Well, I'm sure Edward is a good mixer too," I say with a smile. Emily smiles sweetly.
"Okay, we'll put him to the test. I have to make a lot of cookies," says Emily.
"I'd be glad to help you Emily," says Edward. Then Edward stiffens.
"Are you bleeding Bella?" asks Edward. Emily looks at me with concern.
"I don't think so," I say a little surprised. Edward takes a deep breath through his nose and looks at me.
"You are…but it's dead blood. I think your grumpiness towards Emmett was PMS," says Edward.
"There are pads and tampons under the sink in the bathroom Bella," says Emily.
"I've never had a period before though!" I was a little panicky. My mom never fully explained periods to me; she was waiting for me to have one. I was a werewolf at the age of thirteen so it never happened.
"I'll help you," says Emily leading me to the bathroom. When I get there I find out that Edward was right. Damn. After getting myself cleaned up I go back to the kitchen where Emily was carefully measuring sugar into a huge bowl. Edward was watching from the table. I sit down in his lap and he wraps his arms around my waist before kissing my neck softly. I smile and lean back into his embrace.
"Is my blood bothering you?" I ask.
"It's nothing I can't handle," says Edward. He wasn't tense or anything about it so I believed him.
"Have you figured out anything about your twins?" I ask,
"They're getting bigger," says Emily fondly as she rubs her stomach.
"I'm glad everything is going well. I know Sam worries about you a lot," I say.
"I wish he wouldn't," says Emily.
"You're his imprint, he's gonna worry about you forever," I say.
"If I didn't know better I'd say Edward imprinted on you," says Emily eyeing us before turning back to her measuring.
"That's what Seth said," I giggle as Edward chuckles. Soon my patrol shift was over and I was in Edward's car going back to his house. When we get there everyone was in the living room. They all looked up at me when I walked in, but luckily none of them tried to attack me. Carlisle walks over to me and hands me a box.
"Alice had a vision so I went to the drug store and got you some pain medicine," says Carlisle. I look down at the box of Pamprin that Carlisle had given me. "I also stocked the bathroom for you."
"Thank you," I say.
"Of course, if there's anything else we can do don't hesitate to ask," says Carlisle.
That night at about midnight I was woken up by a really bad stomach ache that wasn't really in my stomach. I had a feeling this was the cramps I'd heard other girls complain about. I can understand why now. I curl up into a ball and whimper as the pain only seems to worsen.
Then I feel Edward's cold hand on my cheek. "What's wrong, Love?" asks Edward. I didn't need to see his face to know he was concerned.
"Cramps," I whimper.
"I'll be right back." And then Edward was gone, but only for a second. When he came back he had flipped on the light. He looked like an angel of mercy holding that glass of water and those pain pills. I eagerly take the pills just as I notice Edward leaning over the side of his bed.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"I heard a heating pad usually helps with cramps," says Edward as he reveals a heating pad that wrapped around a person and was held in place by Velcro. Edward wraps it around my waist and I felt the urge to kiss him. So I did just that. Edward immediately responded by kissing me back. I loved kissing Edward and for a moment my pain was forgotten.
Edward lays down on his back taking with me with him as his hand moves to my waist. His other hand goes to my hair wrapping itself in it and pushing me closer to him. The hand on my waist moves its way down my thigh to my calf and pulls my leg up so I was straddling Edward and then once he's sure my leg was staying put he moves his hand back to my waist.
This seemed to be pushing some boundaries that Edward had set up, but I wasn't about to mention them. Edward's lips move to my neck and I had no choice but to moan softly. "You smell so good, Love," murmurs Edward against my neck. I could feel his hand moving slowly south towards my butt and I knew Edward was waiting for me to stop him, but I wasn't about to do that. His hand reaches my butt and Edward's breathing stops for a second before I feel his hand give my rear a gentle squeeze.
I decide it was time to push a few boundaries, period or not. So I sit up and straddle Edward's waist before grabbing his hand and leading it up to my chest and laying it on me. Edward's eyes widen and he starts to pull his hand away before I put my hand over his.
"I don't mind, Edward. I want you to touch me," I whisper.
End Chapter
A/N: Thanks for reading! How far do you think they'll go? Bella's going through her first period and it isn't having any mercy on her. I hate periods. I think every girl does. Guys just don't understand that aspect of our lives. While I'm here I'd like to suggest a book series that I absolutely adore! It's called The House of Night Series by P.C. + Kristen Cast The first one is Marked,followed by Betrayed, Chosen, and Untamed in that order. I have read all four and I am eagerly awaiting the fifth called Hunted. The books flow from one to another so they don't make a world of sense unless you read them in order. I found that out by accident. It's not Twilight and it has more cussing in it, I'd say age 14/15 and up. I dunno, maybe a teen rating. There's no sex, but it talks about it. Typical teenage, school, rumor stuff, ya know? It's really awesome. That's my opinion though. I laughed and almost cried at this one part. I probably would have cried, but I was on the school bus and that would have been embarrassing. Anyway, sayonara! =]]]]
