I DON'T OWN 'EM...the restaurant from ch. 22 was just some random place for them to eat!

CHAPTER 23

"Bella...wake up."

I opened my eyes to see the beautiful face of my personal god staring down at me.

"Did I fall asleep?" he merely nodded "Oh Edawrd! I'm sorry!!"

"Shush love. It's okay. You had a long day. Now, are you awake enough to dress yourself, or should I help?" He smiled micheviously as he handed me some pajamas.

"I think I'm perfectly capable of dressing myself thank you!" I pushed him out of the room and changed quickly. Guess Alice bought these too. "Okay Edward! All decent. You can come in now!"

He was in the room in seconds, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my neck softly.

"Time for sleep my Bella. Tomorrow's Friday. We'll find something fun to do!" He started to hum something wonderful, and I drifted off into sleep. It was anything but peaceful.

"NO...Charlie STOP!" I was screaming and struggling,but that only made it worse. He wouldn't let me go. "P-please Charlie...please don't" I started screaming...no one could help me.

"Bella wake up! You're okay. It's just a dream. It isn't real, you're safe, here, with me. Please Bella wake up"

I opened my eyes to see pain and sadness on the face of the love of my life. I all but jumped into his arms, tears streaming down my face.

"I'm s-sorry Ed-ward!" I was all-out sobbing now.

He gently rubbed soothing circles on my back to try and calm me. "It's not your fault. None of this is. I just want you to stop hurting my love. That's all."

I looked over at him and attacked his neck. My arms were wrapped around him and I was trailing light kisses along his jaw. "I love you Edward Cullen. More than anything in this world, I love you."

"I love you too Isabella Swan. More than you can ever know...sleep now love. It's not time for you to be awake yet." He began humming that song again, but then my stomach grumbled.

He chuckled and lifted me from the bed. "Alice told me this might happen, and I am prepared!"

He swiftly brought me downstairs and into the kitchen where he took the to go box out of the refridgerator.

"Dessert, for you!" Chocoale cake!! Yum!

"Oh Edward! Thank You!!" I ate half of it and then was satiated enough to go back to sleep. Edward carried me towards the guest room and began hummung again. I was powerless, and soon asleep.

"Edward?" I was groggy, and my vision was a bit blurry.

"Yes, love?"

"What time is it?"

"10:30. Friday morning. You ready to get up yet,sleepy head?"

"Yea...I just need a second. Human moment!" And I jumped out of bed giving him a quick peck on the cheek. I took a 5 minute shower and brushed my teeth. Only then did I notice I had no clothes with me! Am I supposed to walk in there in a towel?! I heard a knock on the door.

"Hey Bella. I brought you some clothes!" Alice, my savior!

"Thanks Alice. You can come in if you want" She was in the bathroom before I was done talking.

"Here. Let me do you hair!!" She closed her eyes while I quickly changed and had me sit while she brushed and dried my hair. She was wonderful with it. I'm glad she had me sit down though, because I didn't feel well. I kept feeling a pain in my side, but I hoped it would pass. I don't want Edward over reacting!!

"Okay! Done. Edwards waiting for you downstairs!"

We went down and saw all the Cullens, minus Carlisle, waiting in the small dining room next to the kitchen, and a huge plate of food waiting for me.

"Thank you Esme. This looks wonderful, but unless you guys plan on helping me eat, there's no way it'll get finished!"

"No worries sweetie. Eat what you wish. I wasn't sure how hungry you'd be."

Truth is, I wasn't at all. I ate some strawberries and a few bites of the pancakes before telling them I was done. When I tried to take my plate to the sink, Esme grabbed it. "You;re a guest dear! GO. Have fun with Edward!"

As if on cue, Edward picked me up and took me into the living room. I tried not to wince when he put me dowm. My abdomen still hurt, but I was okay. We were watching an older movie, Hearts in Atlantis when a sharp pain hit my stomach and I couldn't supress the gasp...
