Guys, I am sorry about the delay. I tried my best to update as soon as I couldPlease, review.

After five minutes, Edward came back with Dr. Taylor.

'Isabella…' Dr. Taylor started.

'It's Bella.' Edward and I said at the same time.

'Okay, Bella. I've heard that you want to be discharged. Are you sure about that?' he looked down at the clip board.

'Yes. I am totally fine. I don't have memory loss, or feeling nauseous. I'm completely fine.' I laughed nervously.

'Okay. So will there be anyone with you 24/7?' he looked back up at me. Alice and Rose needed to work. There was no one with me 24/7. I was about to say 'no', when I heard Edward spoke up.

'I will be with her 24/7 for the next two days.'

I looked at Edward with my jaw dropped. Why would Edward offer to stay with me? Dr. Taylor looked back down to the clip board and jotted something down.

'Okay. Bella, you can go and get change. Det. Cullen, please come with me and finish some paperwork.' Edward nodded and followed the doctor out.

I changed back into my suit, since Alice and Rose didn't bring me any clothes.

After finishing the paperwork with Dr. Taylor, I called in for sick leave. I didn't want to go back to the office. I just wanted to stay with Bella. I replayed what happened in Bella's room in my head. I didn't understand why I offered to stay with her. I really wanted to know what happened to me. I waited for Bella at the benches outside. I buried my face in my hands.

'Hey. I am ready to go.' A musical voice rang beside me. I stood up and smiled to Bella. I led her to my Volvo (thanks to Andrew who drove my car to the hospital after I took the ambulance) and drove her home.

Either of us said a word in the whole ride. I didn't know how Bella felt about I stayed with her. I stole glances of her and tried to figure something out, but I couldn't.

I pulled over the parking lot at the apartment building, but either of us moved.

'Edward…' 'Bella…' both of us started at the same time. Though we didn't burst out laughing, but we couldn't help ourselves but chuckled.

'You go first.' I said.

'Well, Edward. I really don't want to ruin your vacation. You don't have to stay with me…'

I cut her off. 'Did you forget that the doctor said you have to be with someone 24/7? I am the only one who can stay with you.'

'I thought you need to go to work tomorrow.' She kept coming up with reasons to make me not to stay with her.

'I called in and took a day off tomorrow, so I can stay with you.' Bella didn't argue back for a while before she spoke up.

'Are we going to stick with the plan?' she asked quietly. I wanted her to stay in Chicago, but I knew it would mean a lot to her if we stick to the plan.

'Of course. Now, if we want to get to the airport on time tomorrow, we need to start packing right now.'

BPOV

I was now packing all my clothes into my suitcase.

Flashback

'Are we going to stick with the plan?' I asked quietly. I really hoped that Edward would stick to the plan.

'Of course. Now, if we want to get to the airport on time tomorrow, we need to start packing right now.' He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. Instead, they showed concerns and worries. But I shook them off. I almost screamed when he said 'of course'.

Flashback ends

When I knew that Edward would stick to his plan, I was delighted. Well, that was understatement; I thought I was the happiest person in the world.

I went in the bathroom to get all my toiletries, but I found some very sexy nightwear. At first, I thought they were Alice's, but I found a memo stuck on the mirror. It was from Alice.

Bella,

Again, I am sorry I have to work. To make up for you, I get those night wears for you. I have feelings that you would need them later. (I blushed when I read the words) Don't ever try to hide them from me. I would know that if you take them with you or not. Have a good time with Edward.

Alice

Little evil Alice. When she said she had feelings that I would need them, my stomach turned a little. I could never argue with her when she had those 'feelings'. They were usually right.

A quick knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I quickly stuffed the nightwear into the bottom of my suitcase, so that whoever knocked couldn't see them.

'Coming.' I called out. I ran to the door when I finished. I opened the door and found Edward standing there with a crock smile on his face. His suitcase was behind him.

'Hi, Bella. Since we are heading to the airport so early tomorrow, I was wondering can I crash your place tonight.'

'Of course. Come on in. Alice and Rose won't be home tonight.' I stepped aside and let Edward in. 'Wait, did you say tomorrow? I thought it is the day after tomorrow.'

I turned around and saw Edward had already made himself comfortable on the couch. 'It was, but I called the airline company and changed the date and lucky for us, there are some vacant seats on the flight. So it's tomorrow.'

'Edward, are you sure your parents don't mind I come along?'

'Yes, they don't mind. Don't worry. You will love them and they will love you.' I nodded. I glanced at the clock on the wall and I was surprised that it was already dinner time.

'Edward, what would you like to eat? I am cooking dinner.' I got up and asked him.

'You know what, Bella? I will cook tonight. Just tell me where you put all your things.'

When I was about to tell him, he already started his little discovery of my kitchen. Whenever I wanted to help, Edward would literally kick me out of the kitchen, saying that 'I am the chef tonight, so I am the only one who is allowed to be in the kitchen'. Finally, after an hour of fighting, screaming, laughing and giggling, our dinner was set. Everything looked mouthwatering.

'Edward, I didn't know you can cook.'

'Thank you.' he whispered. I couldn't believe that he blushed! 'My mother thought that a perfect gentleman has to know how to cook a nice meal.'

'Thank you for the perfect dinner, Mr. Cullen.'

'It's my pleasure, Miss Swan.' The rest of the dinner went well. We talked a lot. Edward had brought a bottle of wine and we opened it. With the alcohol in my system, I felt fuzzy and wanted to tell everything, but I restrained myself not to tell Edward about my father. I wasn't ready to let him know that yet.

Finally, I drifted to sleep at the dining table.

EPOV

Bella had fallen asleep on the dining table. I picked her up and took her to her bedroom. I tucked her in bed and quietly got out of her room.

I cleaned up the dining table and got myself ready to sleep. I would take the couch tonight. When everything was set, I lay on the couch and drifted off sleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was woken up by Bella's scream. I got up and ran to her room. She was sitting on her bed, sobbing. Her clothes were soaked with her sweat. I held her to my chest tightly. It made me heart broke seeing her like this.

'Bella, what happened?' I asked quietly.

'I had a nightmare.' Her voice broke. My heart ached when she sobbed.

'It is okay, Bella. I am here. You will be safe.' I held her to my chest, until her breathes even out. I gently lay her on her bed again. I drifted to sleep again.


Sorry for the delay again. Please review.
