Chapter 7:

My eyes fluttered open and I smiled noticing where I was. Still in Edward's embrace. I kissed his neck and I felt him smile.

"Good morning again. Are we less grouchy this second time waking up?" he asked and I laughed lightly and while nodding my head, still in the crook of his neck.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Noon," he said and I sat up and looked at him.

"You let me sleep for that long? Did you get bored?" I asked.

"I couldn't wake you. And no, I enjoy watching you sleep," he said.

"You didn't have any problem waking me up this morning creepy person," I joked and he smiled hugely.

"You talk in your sleep," he said and I hid my face in his chest.

"I know," I groaned.

"How do you know?" he asked.

"I wake myself up all the time," I said and he laughed. "I'm hungry," I said trying to escape the subject. He nodded and kissed my forehead while we got up.

We sat outside on the patio and ate sandwiches in silence.

"What are we doing for the rest of the day?" I asked.

"I don't know. Whatever you want to do," he said and my phone rang. It was my mom and I groaned remembering our conversation.

"Hello?" I answered annoyed and Edward got an amused expression on his face.

"Oh hey honey! You got off the phone so quick yesterday I didn't know when to call you back," my mom said.

"Now is not a good time," I told her, but she ignored me.

"Bella, I met this wonderful young man around your age. He is Phil's nefew. He is very sweet and charming," she said.

"Eww, Mom! You are married to Phil that is your nefew too and now my cousin," I said and Edward laughed at my expression.

"Well he is very cute. So are his friends. Why don't you come out and visit?" she asked.

"Mom, I have school. And I already have a man in my life. Tell them it sucks they missed out," I said and Edward laughed as I sat over on his lap and kissed his cheek. I put the phone on speaker.

"Come on Bells, you gota live it up!" she said.

"Like you so graciously did in the midst of getting prego with me?" I mocked.

"Isabella Marie! Don't speak to your mother that way," she said and I laughed.

"Sorry. I'm good, Mom. Really," I said and Edward smiled at me proudly.

"Whatever Bella. Just make sure you use protection please. I'm too young to be a grandma," she said and I felt a blush creep up, but to make it go away I retorted back to her.

"You were too young to be a mother!" I said.

"You better be happy I chose life for you!" she said and I brought my hand up to my chest.

"You mean you debated?" I asked sadly. This was the first time I heard about this and it actually made me a little upset. Edward looked at the phone with anxious eyes.

"Oh, sweetie. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset. I always loved you. Sure I was not so happy about being pregnant at 17, but I loved you so much and I still do," she said and I relaxed a little bit. Edward still looked upset though. I ran my fingers through his hair and kissed his forehead.

"I'm here," I whispered and he relaxed more.

"I have to go, Mom. Talk to you later," I said and then hung up and kissed Edward on the lips. Every other emotion melted away except for happiness. I started to deepen it more and then my phone rang again. I huffed and Edward laughed at my irritation.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Stop having sex and get over here," Rose said and I lifted my head from the chair to see her in the kitchen.

"You are so crude," I said and then hung up. Edward gave me a confused look and I shook my head and went inside.

Rose wanted me to come with her and Alice shopping.

"No, she is mine for the day," Edward said and I smiled as he wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"Finally! I was about to go crazy if you didn't make a move," Emmett said and I blushed.

"So? Are you coming or not?" Rose asked and Alice walked through the kitchen.

"Yes, she is. Have you seen her closet?" Alice said and I frowned.

"What is wrong with my closet?" I asked.

"You only have like 5 pairs of jeans and 15 shirts," Alice said.

"So?" I looked at them. That was normal. Edward laughed and pulled me closer to him.

"Alice, you knew today was my day," Edward said. I smiled at him. He obviously was willing to save me today.

"Whatever, we just get you all day tomorrow," Rose said and Alice's face fell but she nodded.

"What am I to you people? A toy?" I asked.

"Your not a toy to me Belly Button," Emmett said and I scowled. "But you are Edward's chew toy now," he continued and I blushed a little and Edward glarred at him.

"Thanks Emmy-bear," I said and his face fell a little but the smile never left.

The rest of the day I spent in Edward's room with him. We talked about anything and everything. It seemed weird to call him my boyfriend..he was just so much more. I shook my head to get rid of such thoughts. Edward dropped me off at Alice's where my car had been.

"Be careful," he said and I rolled my eyes and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"I will," I said and he smiled. I kissed him once more before I got out.

I fell asleep around 11 feeling content with my life. I was planning on visiting Jake tomorrow and some of his friends. Well that is if Alice and Rose don't kidnap me.

I woke up earlier than usual on the weekends. I took a shower around 9 and then got ready. Once I was done, I ate some breakfast and then got in my car to drive. I didn't really know exactly where I was going, it just felt good to have my baby back again. My phone rang and I looked at caller ID. It was Alice so I decided to ignore it. I noticed I needed gas, so I headed towards the nearest gas station. Alice called again 2 more times, but I was not in the mood to shop today.

I tried to call Jake but he didn't answer. He probably is still sleeping unless he still doesn't want to talk to me. While trying to call Jake the Call Waiting sign flashed and it said Rose. I just hung up. Why were those two so convinced I needed new clothes? I mean I like shopping on occasion, but not everyday! She tried calling again and then I got a text from her.

Where are you? I don't see your car outside...-Rose

I decided to ignore her text as well as I made my way over to get a cup of coffee. I relaxed in my car with my warm cup and my phone rang again. Edward. I smiled and answered.

"Just the voice I wanted to hear," I answered.

"Sorry, it isn't Edward! I knew you were ignoring us!" Alice said and I could tell it was on speaker.

"If he is still sleeping get out of his room with the phone on speaker!" I said.

"She said her phone died," my angel's voice said and I smiled.

"Good morning, Edward," I said sweetly. "I'm going to kill you, Alice."

"No you won't! Where are you by the way?" she asked.

"Just stopped for coffee and enjoying my car again," I said.

"Well get over here," she said. "I expect a cup too!"

"No caffine for you, Alice," I told her and she huffed.

"What about me?" Edward's voice was faded. He was probably in his bathroom or closet.

"Gotcha covered, babe," I said and I could almost see him smile with Alice glarring at me.

"Get your ass over here now!" Alice yelled at me. I flinched from my phone.

"Don't talk to my girl like that!" Edward yelled right back.

"Alice, your language is offensive," I teased.

"Get over it, hot stuff. See you soon," she said without even asking if I was going to go over or not. I hung up while turning onto the Cullen's street.

I parked my car in the driveway and put my wallet under my arm while putting my phone in my pocket and carrying 2 coffee cups with my keys dangling on my fingers. I used my hip and butt to close my door and then pressed the lock button on my keys. I smiled proud of myself as I made it to the door. I hit the doorbell and Alice answered with an annoyed expression as Edward took his coffee and kissed me.

"Hello," I said and Alice was still fuming.

"What the hell, Bella?" she said as we walked into the kitchen. Edward glared at her.

"It isn't my fault. She wouldn't answer her damn phone unless you were the one calling," she said and I blushed as Edward put on a goofy grin like he won a million dollars.

"That isn't true. I would have answered it for my parents or Jake too," I said and she huffed and walked away. I laughed once she was out of hearing range.

"Thank you for the coffee. How much do I owe you?" he asked and I put on a wicked grin.

"A kiss," I said.

"I think I might be able to manage that," he said and then walked around the counter and I placed my arms around his neck as he put his arms around my waist.

"You think you might?" I raised an eyebrow at him. He laughed and bent down as my lips met his. I granted his tongue access as he almost picked me up off the floor while crushing me closer to him.

"I swear this always happens," I heard Rose talk in the background. I pulled away and looked at her and gave her a shy smile.

"What always happens?" Edward asked.

"I walk in on you two pretty much having sex in your mouths or undressing each other with your eyes," she said and I blushed and grabbed my coffee to try and hide it.

"Sorry, I just can't get away from her," Edward said and Rose gagged.

"Whatever. Bella, come on. Lets go," she said and I frowned.

Shopping wasn't as bad as I expected. While they left me in the dressing room for a couple minutes I decided to call Jake again.

"Hello?" he answered on the second ring sleepily. I smiled.

"Hey, lazy bum. How'd ya sleep?" I asked.

"Okay I guess. How are you?" he asked me. I knew I should tell him that Edward and I were together, but I knew it would be better in person.

"I'm doing really well, Jake," I said happily. "Can you come over for dinner tongiht?" I asked and he contemplated for a couple seconds. "I'll make whatever you want," I bribed.

"Okay, fine. Ordering a pizza would be okay," he said and I smiled.

"Great! I will pick you up in a couple hours," I said looking at the clock. It was already 3. Where had my day gone? Alice and Rose walked back into the dressing room with another load of clothes to try on. After about an hour and a half I stopped them.

"Okay, guys!" I yelled over their bickering. "I have to go. Jake is coming over for dinner and I have to pick him up...and I have to tell him Edward and I are together," I said.

"Okay..but I need you to drive Alice home...you knew that, right?" Rose asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Will you drive down to La Push with me?" I asked Alice once we got into my car.

"Duh..I won't let him rape you," Alice said and I laughed.

"He will move on eventually," I sighed.

"I don't know..he will get another girl, that is for sure," she said and I nodded.

"Do you think that Rose is okay with me being with Edward?" I asked.

"I think it will take time to trust him for her. I know that she has to see how much good you are for each other," Alice told me and I nodded as she turned on the radio.

We sang along to it all the way to Jake's and I ordered a pizza before we walked in. I told Jake as soon as I saw him about Edward because it wouldn't do any good if I held it off longer. He wasn't exactly thrilled about it.

"Come on, Jake. He really is a great guy once you actually know him," Alice said and I smiled at her while we made our way to the pizza place. "Give him a chance."

"I just hope that he doesn't pull anything dumb on you," Jake said.

"He won't," I said confidently. "Jake, believe me when I say that Edward won't hurt me anytime soon. I don't think he ever will," I told him and grabbed his hand.

"I just don't trust him," Jake told me.

"I know," I sighed and then got out to recieve the pizza.

"Bella, I have an idea!" Alice sang from the back seat.

"What?" I asked.

"Why don't you and Jake go over to the Cullen's. I know Esme would love to meet him," Alice said as if Esme were her own mother. I smiled at her and Jake grimanced.

"I don't think that is a good idea," Jake said harshly.

"Jake, it is only dinner," I said. He mummbled 'Fine' and then I called Edward. He wasn't happy about it either, but I knew he would be civil for me.
