BPOV:

Thursday Morning.

"Bella, please take advantage of this glorious day! Come shopping with me please!" Alice whined as she plopped down on my bed.

Charlie had picked up Leilah a half an hour ago, Alice showed up ten minutes later. I cooked breakfast for the two of us and now here we were. Alice was whining about how she wanted me to spend my day of leisure.

"Alice, this is supposed to be my day to relax. I don't constitute a day of shopping with you as relaxing."

"But Bella, it's been so long since we've gone and I need new clothes. Most of my stuff isn't fitting me anymore. Besides they say shopping is the best kind of therapy."

I stepped out of the bathroom, dressed in jeans and a sweater, walking over to Alice, sitting next to her.

"No, Alice only you say that. Listen, I have manuscripts to edit and a book I'm trying to write, I have plenty to do." I tried to explain to my best friend, clearly it wasn't working.

"But Bellllllaaaaa…." Alice whined giving me puppy eyes and pouting her lips.

"No Alice, no shopping, absolutely not. You're more than welcome to hang around here with me, but I'm not leaving." I exclaimed.

"You're no fun! I'll leave you be then, Bells. Please don't just sit around all day. Do something fun and exciting." Alice pleaded as she stood up from the bed.

"I won't Alice. I've got things to do, it'll be nice to have some time to myself." I replied.

Alice left and I immersed myself in the current manuscript I was editing. After getting though it, I finished a few chapters of another. I tested my writing creativity, but got no where. I sat there starring at the computer screen. The written words stared back at me as my fingers froze up along the keyboard. The idea of writing this great love story, when I was aching to be loved, wasn't working. No matter what I did, I couldn't manage to get the words out on paper. Irritated, I decided to give up on it.

I decided a refreshing bubble bath was in order. I filled the tub up with hot water and bubbles. Sinking into the soothing water I settled into Pride and Prejudice. I enveloped myself in the love story that I'd loved so much. The glory of falling in love with a fictional character, such as Mr. Darcy, used to be something I lived for.

Reading the romance novel only left my mind to wander off on one thing, Edward. It was then I realized the truth. I was an idiot and that was putting it lightly. Edward was exactly what I needed in my life. He was the perfect fit, the missing piece of the puzzle. Leilah adored him. He was great with her, he would make a perfect father.

Then I realized something. Why read something that was fictional when I had my very own Prince Charming to whisk me away on a white horse into the sunset. Edward was the Mr. Darcy to my Elizabeth Bennett, the Romeo to my Juliet, the Rhett Butler to my Scarlett O'Hara.

What was I doing still sitting here?

I got out of the tub and turned the shower on rinsing my body of the bubbles. I washed my hair with the strawberry shampoo Edward loved so much. I wrapped the towel around my body and went to my closet. I pulled out a pair of jeans and a royal blue off the shoulder sweater. I got dressed quickly and ran back into the bathroom. Blow drying my hair straight, leaving the ends to curl up slightly. I applied a small amount of make up and walked back into my room. I rummaged through my closet in search of a pair of black boots. When I finally found them I sat on the floor to put them on.

Passing the mirror on the way out of my room, I stopped to double check myself.

Hair, check.

Makeup, check.

Clothes, check.

Mind, out the window.

Alice would be proud. I glanced over at the alarm clock sitting on my night stand. The red number lit up indicating it was seven at night. Edward would still be at work and here I was about to get my man back.

What was I doing?

I drove carefully through the streets on the way to the hospital. I attempted to mentally prepare myself.

"What am I supposed to say to him?" I exclaimed pulling into the hospital parking lot. "Hi Edward, I miss you, I love you. Take me back." I screamed gripping my knuckles around the steering wheel. The tops of my knuckles turned white. "You can do this Bella. Deep breaths."

I carefully stepped out of the car, taking deep breaths as I walked towards the entrance to the hospital. The sounds of my heels clicking through echoed through the hospital parking lot. I reached the glass doors of the hospital and gliding open. The smell of the crisp scent of the hospital filled my senses.

You can do this, Bella.

I walked up to the reception desk.

"Welcome to Seattle Grace, How can I help you?" the receptionist asked sweetly. I looked down at her name tag, "Olivia".

"Hi, Olivia is it?" I paused as she nodded her head. I flashed her a smile. "I'm actually looking for Dr. Edward Cullen." I whispered. At the mention of his name she smiled.

"Do you have an appointment?" She giggled, mindlessly twirling her hair.

"No actually I don't. I'm a…" I paused. I contemplated for one second telling her I was his wife just to burst any bubble of hope she might've had. "-friend of his. If he's busy I can come back."

She glanced down at what looked to be a calendar of sorts. "I'm not sure if he's busy or anything, but I can tell you where you can find him."

"That would be nice." I said.

Come on really? Just tell me God dammit!

"He should be up in the ICU. You can take the elevator to the third floor. Ask the desk up there, they'll be able to help you out a little better."

"Thanks." I smirked. I walked to the elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator dinged and the doors flew open. I got in and pressed the button. As the elevator began it's slow ascension up the elevator shaft I contemplated on backing out, letting the doors open and close, take the elevator down to the lobby and run out of the hospital.

No, I couldn't do that! I had to do this, I could do this. I needed to have Edward in my life For my sanity.

A few seconds later the doors opened and I stepped out, walking straight to the reception desk there.

"Um, excuse me?" I asked the nurse sitting behind the desk.

"Yes? Can I help you find something?" she asked.

"Yeah, actually I was looking for Dr. Edward Cullen." Again at the mention of his name the nurse smiled and I swear I head a small giggle. What was it with these girls and my Edward?

"Well, I'm not exactly sure where he is at the moment, but I could-" she started to explain.

"Bella?" a velvet voice crooned from behind me.

I spun around unprepared for what I saw. There standing behind me in all of his glory was Edward Cullen. He was dressed in his dark blue scrubs, his white lab coat over them. Sure I'd seen him in his scrubs countless times, but this time was different. All I wanted to do was push him into an exam room and show him exactly how I felt.

He could be the doctor and I'd be the patient. I'd let him fully examine…Cut it out Bella! FOCUS!

He walked over to the desk and handed the chart in his hands over to the nurse. She willingly grabbed it out of his hand, flashing him a flirtatious smile and batting her eyelashes. I scoffed at her attempts to get his attention.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" he asked, ignoring the doctor stealing whore, placing a hand on my arm.

"I-um-er-you see the thing is I actually came to talk to you." I stuttered.

"Okay…" he said skeptically. "Where's Leilah?"

"With Charlie. He's had her all day. Is there somewhere we could go to talk?"

He simply nodded and placed his hand in mine. He laced his fingers between mine and I couldn't help but think that's where they belonged. He guided me through the hallways and stopped at a door. I looked to the left of the door jam, "On Call Room". He knocked softly before opening the door.

The door creaked open and he motioned for me to step in. I took a deep breath and walked in placing my purse on a chair and slipping my coat off. I looked around the room. It was simple. There was a bed in the corner, with a few chairs, a couch, nothing fancy.

I heard the click of the door locking and I spun around. Instead of spinning around to air I was immediately stopped by Edward. His smoldering green eyes were staring at me.

"What is it you wanted to talk about, love?" he cooed as he brought his hand up to my cheek. His hand trembled as he caressed my skin softly.

"I'm sorry." I whispered burying my head into his chest. I wanted to cry and let out all the suppressed feelings I had out. I wanted him to hold me in his arms, wipe my tears and have him tell me everything is okay.

"For what?" he asked running his fingers softly through my hair.

"For being stupid and naïve. I was blind for not realizing that what I needed, what I wanted was right in front of me. I was scared to let you fully into my life, Edward. I didn't want to loose you like I'd lost Jake. I couldn't bear to put Leilah through that. But if time has taught me anything it's that I need you more in my life than anything. Without you my life has been incomplete. I feel like there's something missing from my life." I explained.

He lifted my chin up with his hand. His sparkling eyes hypnotized me. "Oh Bella, I've been lost without you in my life."

His fingers brushed up against my cheek as his fingers traced the contour of my jaw bone down to the corner of my lips, brushing lightly against them. Moving his hand away from my face he wrapped it around my waist pulling us close together.

I looked up to see him staring at me with a smile on his face. He brought his face closer to mine, our foreheads touching. His cool breath tickled my skin. My body trembled as his lips came dangerously close to mine.

"Don't forget to breathe, Bella." he smirked.

I didn't even realize I'd stopped.

His lips touched mine in a soft, sensual kiss. I'd forgotten how amazing it felt. Flinging my arms up around his neck I pulled myself up closer to him, deepening the kiss. Our lips moved together perfectly. Memories of our past came into my mind.

His hands moved lower to my legs and quickly lifted me upon on his hips.

Softly he laid me down on the bed, never once breaking our kiss. He paused sitting up to look at me. I could see the love he had for me in the depths of his eyes. I could feel the passion that was ignited between us with each touch, each embrace.

"Bella…" he whispered. I looked up at him. "I love you." He softly began tracing circles up and down my arm.

"I love you too, never leave me." I whimpered. I felt a tear fall from my eye. He just smiled carelessly wiping the tear from my eye.

"I wouldn't dream of it." he cooed as he kissed me again.

I trailed my hands down his chest to the waist of his scrubs. My fingers played with the drawstring, untying the knot. I slipped my hands under his shirt feeling each contour of his perfectly sculpted abs. A moan escaped his lips. My hands traveled back down, tracing the V of his hips.

"Don't start anything you can't finish love." He exclaimed as he began to place a trail of kisses down my neck.

"When have you ever known me to start anything I can't finish?" I purred into his ear.

Beep, Beep.

"Ignore it." Edward said as his hands started to unbutton my jeans.

Beep, Beep.

"Edward…" I warned. "It might be important."

He sighed slumping down on top of me, one arm still supporting his weight. His free hand dipped down to the floor in search of the pager. He brought the black object to his face. The smile on his face quickly turned to a frown.

"Ugh, I've got to go. It's the pit, I'm sure there's some form of trauma case coming in." he sighed sitting up. "I'm sorry." I could see the sincerity in his eyes.

I sat up and smiled. I ran my fingers through his hair, messing it up a little.

"It's perfectly fine, Edward. We have the rest of our lives to be together. I don't plan to do a thing without you."

"I'll call you later when I get a chance." he said, placing a kiss on my forehead.

"You have to work on Saturday?" I questioned. Saturday was New Years Eve and I had every intention of spending time with him.

His head perked up and a smirk appeared on his face. "You have plans?"

"No."

"You think you find someone to watch Leilah for you?" he said as he looked at me.

"Um, I'm sure I could find someone. I'll ask Charlie when he drops Leilah off in the morning. Why?"

"If he can't I'll talk to my parents. I don't think they're doing anything. I'm off this weekend, as a thank you from the hospital. I've been working a lot of hours recently." he said with a wink.

"Oh…"

"I wanna take you somewhere, just the two of us. A weekend away to rekindle our love. What better way to bring in the New Year, right?" he said with a wink.

"Right. What exactly do you have in mind, Mr. Cullen?" I asked curiously, curling a strand of hair between my fingers.

"Oh you know the usual…" he paused. "-go to Vegas, get married by Elvis in a drive through chapel to the woman of my dreams. Take her back to the hotel room at some fancy hotel and have the most phenomenal, mind blowing…"

Beep, Beep.

He looked down at the black pager lying on the bed and sighed.

That damned pager!

"Oh but Edward?" I smirked. "Why do you wanna to marry me anyhow?" I decided to play along with his little game of "let's go to Vegas and elope" by quoting a line from one of my favorite movies.

"So I could kiss you anytime I want." He responded with a smile.

"Well Mr. Cullen, if that was a marriage proposal I'm disappointed. I expected a whole lot more from you." I spat.

"I offer you my heart and you decline. I'm hurt, Isabella."

"Stop whining, you big baby. I kindly accept your heart with the condition that you take mine in return."

He held his hand out for me to shake. I willingly placed mine in his, shaking it. He smiled and got up off the bed.

"Let me know about this weekend..."

"Of course. I couldn't have thought of a better way to ring in the new year than with you." I smirked.

"Great! I'm sure I can figure something out. Let me know about Charlie, first thing in the morning."

Beep, Beep.

He glanced at the pager once more and rolled his eyes.

"I better get going before they throw a fit. I love you." Edward said bending down giving me one final kiss.

"Go be a superhero and save some lives. I love you too." I murmured.

He turned to the door, turning the door knob and slightly opening the door.

"Oh and Bella?"

"Yeah?"

"I would."

"Would what?" I asked sitting up on the bed.

"Marry you, this weekend." He simply stated right as he walked out the door.

Was he really serious?

And there you have it! Bella got over herself and got her man back. For all you Grey's fans I decided to throw a little Olivia in there for ya...that little, well I'll hold my tongue and not call her any obscene names. That line from one of Bella's favorite movies...Sweet Home Alabama..love it! "I mean you don't find your soulmate when you're ten, right? What's the fun in that?" *sigh*

So we've got some good things coming ahead folks. New Years is approaching quickly for our favorite sextuplet..look for that in the Holiday Edition within the next week or so. You know with a new year comes new things...new fun! :D Speaking of New Years...I hope ya'll had a great New Years. I think a toast is in order.
