A/N: Ok, so wow….it's been a month since I have posted and some serious things have happened since then. For those that don't already know – My husband that I have been with for 8 years up and asked me for a divorce about 3 weeks ago. It's been a rough go of things and I am still trying to move on and get up and going again. So, I apologize for the delay in the last update and anymore to come. I am trying really hard to write and keep to my schedule however, this is a firefighter love story and coincidentally my soon-to-be ex husband is a firefighter. You could probably see where this is going. I will be finishing this story, rest assure. I am trying to keep my mind occupied and move own.

That being said I would also like to announce that I am co-hosting a one shot challenge with HopelessRomantic79 and Kimbercullen to help take my mind off things. There is a link on my profile for it. I would greatly appreciate you taking a look, enter, read and/or vote when the time comes.

Thanks to all my wonderful amazing BFFFer's for being so effing supportive through this hard time. And to the rest of the Twi Fandom who has reached out for support too, thank you thank you thank you.

Thanks to my wonderful beta LittleLea05

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." – Edgar Allan Poe

Chapter 11 – All Hallows Eve

Edward POV

"Edward, Quick! Grab that two and quarter inch line and get back over here!" I looked up at Bella standing by the engine, brow furrowed in concentration as she adjusted the pump for the water going to the new line I grabbed. I turned on my heel and quickly ran back towards Jacob. The guy had been a pompous ass since he got back a little over three weeks ago after his wife gave birth. "What took you so long? Come on." He grabbed a hold of the line behind me as we lugged it up to the door of the building we were currently standing in front of.

It was two days before Halloween and all of the crazy people started coming out. This fire was no different. We rolled up on the scene to find this small abandoned store in a shady part of town completely trashed. Spray painted on the door was 'Trick or Treat'- Not exactly a good omen. Jacob quickly darted around me and kicked the door open. We had to swiftly roll to the sides so we wouldn't be engulfed by the billowing fire coming straight out at us. I dropped to my stomach and quickly released the hold on the water, shooting a straight shot in trying to hit the base of the flame. There was no luck. The entire room was nothing but a yellow, orange and red dancing inferno.

There was no way I was entering the store. It was abandoned and there was no report of people being inside, not that they would be alive if they were. There was no reason to go in. I turned around quickly and signal at Bella to increase the water pressure and turned back to the room. I felt the hose jolt in my hands as the water started coming out stronger.

"Masen, this is Captain Cullen, do you copy? Over."

"This is Masen, go ahead Capt. Over."

"Pull out. We are just going to be support. Over."

"Parking lot sir? Over."

"Affirmative, Over."

I pulled myself up off the ground and backed away a safe distance. When we deem a fire a 'parking lot' it usually means that the building is not savable and we are just going to let the fire run its course; effectively making this once abandoned building a new parking lot in the area. I followed Jacob to the safe distance mark and signaled once again to Bella to change the water pressure, just to a lower pressure this time. No need to waste water when we were just protecting surrounding buildings.

As we took up our post to protect, I kept stealing glances over at Bella. She was standing next to the engine pump with Carlisle at her side. They were obviously discussing the fire in front of them, but I was hardly paying attention. Bella was like a walking wet dream. She was standing with her fire pants on with the overalls up over her tight white t-shirt, and she wasn't wearing her jacket or helmet. The cool air was massively apparent; her nipples were staring out at me. I took a glance back at the fire to advert myself. The last thing I needed was a hard on while on a call. But I couldn't stop myself as I looked back at her again. She glanced over at me and smiled.

We had successfully managed to keep our relationship rather quiet over the last month. We spent every weekend together, mostly in one of our beds. During the week we've tried, and failed, to keep our relationship strictly professional. We hadn't had a successful shower sex incident since the first one, yet I can't take a shower in the room now without immediately getting wood thinking about that night. It's gotten so bad I have taken to showering after everyone else to not draw attention to my….condition. But we have been sneaking about in the dark like teenagers creeping around our parents' home in the dead of night.

We've been nearly caught by Jasper two times; whom I think is starting to suspect something though he hasn't said anything…yet. We almost got caught by Carlisle while trying to sneak a quickie in the shower. I had to hide in Bella's shower until well after she left and Carlisle left, cold and naked on the shower floor in order to sneak out without getting caught. That's when we decided not to take showers together anymore. And Emmett walked right passed us as we were rounding third base in the cab of the engine one night and never noticed. If it had been anyone else, I guarantee we would have been caught.

I heard a deafening crack as the stability of the building in front of me started to give way. We all rapidly started backing up waiting for the single moment when it finally gave way and caved in on itself. I watched in awe as the top of the roof started to cave in on the right side, quickly followed by the wall it was attached too. Within minutes all of the walls but one had completely fallen in on itself. The lone standing wall was going to be a problem though. It was a big safety hazard to just leave it standing like that, never knowing when it could topple over. All of us that had a fire hose in hand quickly took up position on the outer side of the lone wall and turned our nozzles on full blast concentrating the stream on the wall. It's an amazing feeling being able to push over a wall with just the water in your hands.

"Okay people, let's wrap it up." I heard the IC yell over the commotion. Inside of an hour we had the fire put out as well as could be and the debris sorted through. The cleanup crews would be there first thing in the morning to haul away all of the cinder.

As soon as we got back to the station we all started dropping like flies. It was already past midnight and we were all exhausted. "Alright, get some sleep. Who knows if we will get a call again before you get off in the morning." Carlisle stated as he started walking up the stairs while the rest of us finished putting away our gear and equipment.

A chorus of 'night's followed him and most of the rest of the guys up the stairs. I pretended to take my time and hang back some so I would look like I was the last one to leave the engine bay, when in all honesty; I had no plans of leaving. "Hey Edward…" I glanced up from my gear bag and saw Emmett looking down at me. "You still coming by tomorrow right?"

"Yeah, anything I should bring?"

"Money." I laughed as he started up the stairs. All of the women decided tomorrow night they would have a girls night while us guys were going to play some poker. The next day was Halloween and we were all invited to this big Halloween party celebration at one of the local downtown hotels. Somehow Jasper's wife, Alice, talked me into dressing up for this thing. All she would tell me was 'you'll wear what I get you and you'll look great'. I still didn't know what Bella was going dressed as.

I watched as each guy ascended the stairs one by one, and eventually Bella and I were alone – at last. You could literally feel the shift in the air when we looked over at each other. Bella got this mischievous look on her face as she started walking towards her bedroom door. "Going to join me?" I didn't waste any time in quickly jogging over to her to follow her into her room. I shut the door behind us quietly and flipped the lock. Her little room only had a twin sized bed much like the ones upstairs but we learned to make room for each other, kind of like in our lives.

We came together in a whirlwind of kissing, hands and shredding of clothes. In the last month we had become experts in ridding ourselves of our clothing as fast as possible. Having quickies at the station was a serious risk just from the sheer fact of getting a call at any second or possibly getting caught. We became proficient at our week day quickies and spent the weekend slowing it down and exploring each other. It was a beautiful thing.

I laid us down on her bed and quickly grab a condom we keep stashed right by her bed out of sight. Within seconds I was buried once again inside her. There was nothing better than being inside of Bella – besides spending time with her, of course. I instantly forgot any troubles on my mind, the stress melted away and I felt content, secure and…if I dare say it, loved. I heard the floor boards above us creak meaning someone was still awake and could easily hear us. I leaned down and quickly covered Bella's lips with my own. If this one month has opened me up to anything it's been the fact that Bella is a very loquacious in bed. The words and dirty things that come out of her when she comes…absolutely fucking beautiful.

I slipped a hand down between us flittering it across her clit. I pulled away from the kiss. "Come for me Bella." Her groans started becoming louder intermittent with 'fucks' and 'shits' in between. "Shh-shh Bella…unless you want company?" I added as I thrusted my hips deeper into her hitting that spot I know drives her nuts.

"Oh fuck shit Edward!" She nearly screamed as her body went ridged beneath me. I felt myself spiral out of control and lose my grip on my arousal too. Body spent, I got up and quickly moved over to Bella's little half bath to get rid of the condom. Bella was pulling out her sleeping clothes as I came back out.

"You better run upstairs and make an appearance before everyone falls asleep." She muttered smiling while slipping on her shirt. "Then come back to me?"

I nodded and stepped up to her kissing her quickly. "Always."

"Never forget me?" She asked as I was getting dressed again. I shot her a look. She had started the 'Never forget me?' a few weeks ago. I had a feeling it was her insecurities finally peeking out a bit, like she was afraid I would just up and leave her like she meant nothing. That would never happen. I was in far too deeply then I was ready to admit.

"Never forget you." I kissed her quickly once again and walked out the door. Upstairs I found Jake nearly asleep on the couch. He barely acknowledged me as I passed to the lockers. I grabbed my towel and went to the showers. Now would be the perfect time to shower real quick, make my appearance and get back to Bella. By the time I made it back downstairs, Bella was out cold. I moved her a little in the bed to make room for me and pulled her against my chest, quickly falling asleep.

I awoke to the pleasant sound of Bella's phone going off, much better than hearing the jarring sound of the bell for a call. We had gotten into the habit of setting an alarm for mornings (if we weren't woken up by a call) so that I could sneak back upstairs before anyone else woke up. Today, I had a feeling was going to be a long day…

By eight o'clock that evening Jasper, Emmett , Peter and I were all gathered around a small felt green lined table in Emmett's house playing poker. The beer and whiskey was flowing and I was feeling pretty damn good by this point.

"Your turn Jazz…" I mumbled as I watched him pick up a card from the stack. "By the way…what are the girls doing tonight? They aren't getting shit faced and playing poker too I take it?" I asked. Emmett and Peter laughed as Jasper cleared his throat. "What?" I asked as I reached for my beer.

"Nah man, they're having this broad come over with different toys and shit to have what Alice called a 'Pleasure Party'…" I ended up spitting my beer clear across the table as the guys all laughed at my immaturity. Argh….Bella….sex toys…I am fucked.

Bella POV

I sipped on my beer as Alice danced around the room getting things ready. I was not handling this whole separate girls and boys night well. I knew Edward was playing poker with the guys tonight, not like I was worried anything was gonna happen there, but if I was being honest with myself, I was afraid of Alice, Rose and Charlotte. I was awaiting the third degree since I hadn't been spending much time with them. I spend all my time with Edward like an obsessed teenage girl. I feed them lies, which I hated lying to my best friends, but I couldn't share Edward yet. I had to know that we were good, that this wasn't a passing flame, before I could let them all in. I had told Alice I visited with my father, was too exhausted, and taught a refresher class and a million other excuses to avoid their prying eyes. But also, this was one of the first nights in I don't know how long that I haven't spent with Edward and…..I missed him.

"Alice…." I looked around the room feeling the beer buzz coming on. "Where is Joshua and Rose's kids if we are all having adult only nights tonight?"

"Um…Josh is at his grandparent's house and I think Rose and Em did the same." I looked over to Rose who nodded her head in acknowledgement. "Alright, ladies…." Alice chirped in. "Let's start this!"

"Start what Alice? This whole night has been a mystery, what are you up too?" I asked as I finished my beer and got up to grab another. Alice beat me to it, taking my beer and shoving a new one in my hand. "Wow Alice, if I didn't know any better I would think that you were trying to get me drunk."

"I am."

"Why?" I asked quizzically.

She stood with her arms pulled behind her back and swaying slightly like a kid in trouble. "Cause I figured this would be easier if you were drunk."

"What Alice, spit it out." The door opened and a lady old enough to be my mother stepped out carrying a large suitcase like bag. I looked back at Alice and raised an eyebrow.

"A pleasure party!" She squealed and clapped her hands. I groaned and took a bigger swig of my beer and settled back down on the couch. This was going to be a long night.

I sat mind numbingly embarrassed, and shocked mind you, through three hours of nothing but dildos, vibrators, double ended dildos (though I didn't see why she brought those), whips, chains, handcuffs, different flavored lubes, blindfolds, nipple clamps, several different karma sutra manuals of different positions and of course porn to top it all off. Now I wouldn't say I am prude, far from it, but I have my limitations about my sex life and discussing such things in front of people like Alice, Rose and Charlotte whom will never let me forget or live down this moment.

I think they figured I needed to get on board with some self loving because they didn't know about Edward. They didn't know that if we kept up the routine we were currently on that I would never need self loving again. All they saw was me going home and disappearing for the weekends. Come to think of it – I am surprised that they haven't figured out that something was going on in my life. But, just to placate my friends and make them stop asking questions – I took the order form from the nice older lady as she passed them around the room. She said we 'could order in discrete' with her and nobody but her would know what we were buying.

I had a field day going over the order form. All I could think about was the different things Edward and I could try. I ordered strawberry, watermelon and cherry flavored lubes, blindfolds, handcuffs a couple different small vibrators that I hadn't decided whether or not I would introduce to Edward or not, plus one of the karma sutra books and one video. I ended up spending nearly $250 on different sex toys. And as much as Alice whined and Rose demanded, I didn't give in and let them see what I ordered, just that I did order something. It seemed to shut them up for now.

The next morning I was feeling slightly hung over as Alice rounded us up and into her car. But it seemed like I was the only one. I actually only saw Rose drinking with me last night, Charlotte and Alice didn't. If I had been smart too, I would have saved the drinking for tonight. But, apparently we had been signed up for a day of relaxing at the spa today before getting ready for the Halloween party tonight. As much as I loved the massages and Jacuzzi at the spa, I hated the waxing and such. And furthermore, I still wouldn't see Edward until tonight. I had no idea what he was going dressed as, come to think of it, I didn't know what I was going dressed as. Every year I left that up to Alice and I'm not so sure I'll be entirely pleased with her outfit choices after tonight. Something fishy was up her sleeve, I just knew it.

By six o'clock all of us girls were back at Alice's place getting ready. It was very surreal, almost felt like I was in high school again getting ready for a school dance with all my friends. But it was Alice's idea that the girls would get ready here while the guys got ready over and Rose and Emmett's place. I stepped into the bathroom and saw my outfit hanging on the back of the door. It was a short risqué looking flapper girl outfit, red with black frilly crap hanging off of it. There was even a head band with a row of small feathers, long elbow length black gloves and a ton of costume jewelry. "Alice!" I yelled as I started pulling the outfit off the hanger to put on. I heard a laugh on the other side of the door. "I hope you are happy. This is your one time of dressing me up this year. No more Bella Barbie. You know I hate dresses and high heels!"

"Yeah but you look fabulous in them and you know it. Just hurry up so I can fix your hair into a short bob like style." Ten minutes later I stepped out into the disastrous living room of the rest of them getting ready. I had to hold back my laughter. Alice was fully decked out in an old western saloon girl outfit. She looked more like prostitute saloon gal than waitress saloon gal. Her dress was a mixture of white, blue and brown with a bustier enhancing her barely there chest. She was wearing heels making her taller and she looked hot.

Standing over in the hall way in front of a mirror was Marilyn Monroe reincarnated, when in reality it was Rosalie in a spitting image of her, white dress and hairstyle included. But it was Charlotte's outfit that had me laughing so hard. She was wearing a bathing suit like top that had fig leaves covering each breast and a small tiny little skirt that was made to look like overlapping leaves. "What are you, Mother Nature?" I asked cracking a joke as I took a seat and let Alice work on my hair.

"Nah, I'm Eve. Peter is going dressed as Adam."

"You guys are gonna freeze tonight." I threw out there as Rose walked back into the room."

"Yeah but it'll be worth it to see Peter in almost all his glory." Rose quipped as she grabbed her small hand purse. "Let's go."

"I'm nearly finished, hold your horses." Alice shot back as she dug in one more bobby pin into my hair. "There. Damn Bella. You look good. You need to dress up and out of your tomboy phase more often."

"It's not a phase it's who I am. Be glad you get to do this on Halloween." I grumbled as I adjusted my dress trying to cover my chest more and extend down my legs some more. I was definitely a sultrier version of a flapper girl that was for sure.

We arrived at the packed downtown hotel that was hosting this huge Halloween party. There were more people here than last year easily. Alice pushed her way through the crowd like a woman on a mission and within seconds Jasper and Emmett came into view. The laughter started all over again. Jasper was dressed up as an almost authentic looking cowboy from the old west to match Alice's outfit. Complete with a nice Stetson looking cowboy hat and fake six shooters. Emmett was dressed in a perfect pristine blue suit with a white shirt and a red tie. But it wasn't until Rose stepped up next to him that I figured out exactly who he was.

"JFK?" My voice rose up over the loud music playing. "You came as John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe?" I laughed. "Their relationship was so hush hush if not fake, but I love the costume choice." I pointed back and forth and gave them a thumbs up.

"I thought it was brilliant." Jasper chimed in. I turned to look over my shoulder at him and then saw the rest of our awaiting party. Peter was fully in his glory just like Rose said wearing an almost matching skirt of leaves like Charlottes with his firefighting washboard abs prominently on display. I ogled, it was unavoidable. But Edward – Edward was on a whole new playing field of omgfuckinggod hot. He was dressed in a full pinstriped pressed suit with matching hat looking like a 1920's gangster that was sex on legs. I also didn't miss the fact that we matched. Couples. I looked around until I caught Alice's eye, who just smiled sheepishly and pointed up. Across the room was a large banner reading 'Sexy Couples through the ages' underneath it read 'nominate and vote now'. Apparently this was going to be a costume contest night and Alice made damn sure that Edward and I would both have a costume partner in crime. It also made me wonder how much the little pixie knew, suspected or had figured out about Edward and me.

"You look rather sexy tonight." I heard him whisper quietly into my ear from behind me. I felt my body break out in goose bumps.

"Hey! Look at that!" I heard Emmett's loud voice boom over us. "They match. Way to go squirt." He high fived Alice as they all started to walk away towards the open bar and the dance floor leaving Edward and I alone – finally. I quickly turned around again to look him the eyes and saw a devilish little smirk cross his face.

"You don't look so bad yourself, ya know?" I glanced around and made sure none of our friends were in sight before I slid my hand up his chest and played with his tie. He groaned slightly with his eyes firmly planted on my chest. I chuckled. "You have fun last night?"

He laughed. "Not nearly as fun as you, or so I hear…" I cocked an eyebrow wondering just how much he knew. He leaned in and whispered in my ear. "A pleasure party, huh? Would love to know if you bought anything." His voice was deep and sexy just like it is right before we have sex. It was making my arousal peak even more.

"Ah, there you are." I heard and jumped back from Edward immediately. That was the last voice on earth I wanted to hear with Edward and I in that close of proximity.

"Carlisle, Esme! I didn't know you were coming…" I added the forced enthusiasm as I wrapped Esme in a long hug. It had been a while since I had seen my pseudo mother and I missed her greatly. I took a step back and admired their costume choices. Very posh choices for them. Carlisle was dressed as the Phantom of the Opera complete with the white half face mask and Esme was dressed as his loving interest Christine. Edward shook hands with Carlisle as Esme pulled me slightly aside.

"Who is the new man Miss Bella?" She inquired while casually checking him out.

I laughed. "That's just the new probie at the station, Edward Masen." I motioned over to him as he stood talking with Carlisle.

"Are you and him…." She let the sentence trail.

"No, we're just friends. Alice thought it would be funny if she dressed us up as a couple since this was supposed to be a couples Halloween party, you know how she is."

"Oh and are they here already?"

I nodded. "Yeah, they all are. I think they went to search out the bar and then presumably the dance floor thereafter."

She laughed. "You're probably right." Esme quickly kissed me on the cheek and stepped away. "I think I'll go find them now. Enjoy the rest of your evening." She winked at me as she stepped away to pull Carlisle out of his conversation with Edward. A waiter passed me with a tray of shots and I didn't even care what it was as I picked one up and tossed it back.

"Whoa now….are we looking to get shit-faced?" I heard Edward say as he stepped up and took a shot too. We each took one more shot before the waiter stepped away.

"I was thinking about it…" I said. I pushed up against him with a little liquid courage flowing through me.

His arms boldly came around me, neither of us really caring at this point if we were seen. "About getting shit-faced?" He joked.

Edward leaned down and started kissing up my neck and nipping at my ear. I groaned. "Nah, you know what I was talking about." I felt my arousal hit and I started looking around for any empty corner.

"Well…" His voice was husky and shot straight to my core. "Follow me…" He grabbed my hand and we started weaving our way through the crowd carefully missing our friends. On the far side of the room nestled between the expansive wall between the bathroom and the bar was a really dark tiny alcove that, unless you knew it was there, you'd never know it even existed. As soon as we got really close to it he pulled me into his arms and spun us around into the tiny section of the hidey hole, pinning me up against the wall. I giggled like a little school girl as he started peppering kisses across my neck and shoulders.

"How'd you even know this little part of the room existed?" I gasped out as his hands started to daringly wander across my body.

"Mmm…I discovered it earlier when I got here coming back from the bathrooms."

"Argh…." I moaned out as his hand slipped up my thigh pulling my leg up and around his waist. I pulled his face down to mine greedily capturing his lips. I could taste the hint of vodka still lingering there from the shots we had taken earlier. As soon as his tongue traced my bottom lip for entrance his hand slipped down in between my legs. I gasped out as my head lolled back against the wall. "Oh…fuck...fuck…" His hand continued to stroke and tease my clit as his lips worked furiously across my neck and down my nearly exposed chest. "Ah….fuck Edward…don't stop…"

Emmett POV

We were all standing in a corner over on the far side of the bar when I saw Carlisle and Esme walk up. I wasn't expecting them to be here tonight but it was nice to see them. Esme was a small petite little gal but she was like the honorary mother figure of the station to all of us guys.

"Carlisle, what are you doing here?" I heard Jasper ask as they stepped up.

"Hey old man…" I joked. "Got a drink yet?" I asked. He shook his head no and I did a quick head count. "Anyone seen Bella and Edward?" I asked, nobody really paying attention to me. "Alright then, seven shots it is." I mumbled loud enough that I hoped someone heard me. We are all engrossed into our own conversations, but like usual, I was the one making sure we would be getting drinks.

As I approached the bar, I noticed it was packed. Not just one deep waiting for drinks but several. The bartenders were moving at exhaustingly fast speeds and the waiters at the counter were loading their trays as fast as possible. I saw an opening at the very far side of the bar, completely opposite of where we were hanging out. And there happened to be a younger waiter with an empty tray waiting at that end.

"Hey…" I said as I walked up. He startled a little when he saw who was talking to him. "I'll give you $20 if you load that tray with seven shots of vodka and follow me over to the other side of the bar to my friends.

"O-okay…" He mumbled out. He turned to the bartender and quickly started waving his hands to get his attention.

"Argh…" I turned around and looked around the expanse of the room and the many people packed in there looking for the sound I just heard. I couldn't help but laugh. Someone usually always hooks up at these kinds of parties. I was half way expecting to see Bella out on the dance floor with some guy any second now. Not like my Bella's a slut or anything, she knows how to have a good time.

I turned back and looked at the waiter I was patiently waiting for to fill my order. He had finally waved down the bartender and was talking to him now. "Oh…fuck…fuck…" This time I spun around knowing that someone was hooking up nearby. I needed to find out because strangely enough, the voice sounded like Bells and that would be a record for her. Being here for only what, I glanced at my watch, thirty minutes and she was already in a corner with some guy? Or some girl, like that one time. I'll never forget that night.

I approached the dark shadows of the wall assuming that's where I heard the voice coming from, but I was not expecting to find what I did. It was Bella alright, head thrown back against the wall in obvious ecstasy. Her leg was wrapped around some guys' waist and I couldn't see his face because it was buried in her neck and his hand was clearly buried between her legs. I laughed out loud but she didn't hear me. I couldn't believe she was already hooking up with some guy. I turned around to head back to the bar and give her a little privacy when she called out again.

"Ah….fuck Edward…don't stop…" Edward?!?!? I spun back around and sure enough his head had moved enough that I could see a bit of his copper hair underneath his hat and that stupid smirk on his face.

I whooped, loudly. "Fuck! I knew it! I so fucking knew it!" They finally heard me and startled apart. I knew I had a shit eating grin on my face. Bella looked like she saw a ghost and Edward had a knowing smirk on his face that he was barely suppressing. I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw the waiter with his tray full of drinks. "Good. Follow me." I barked at him as I took one last glance out the discovered couple. "Wait until they hear about this." I started away from them across the room back to our friends as fast as I could. This was news too good not to share.

I knew Edward and Bella were pushing their way through the crowd behind me, probably attempting to make me stop and keep me from sharing their dirty little secret, but there was no way I was stopping now.

"Guys…guys…." I shouted as I stepped up our group of friends, a few steps ahead of Edward and Bella. "You'll never believe who I just caught nearly fucking in the corner." I heard Alice gasp, Rose laugh and Carlisle smile and shake his head as Edward and Bella came to a skidding halt behind me.

"I knew it!" Alice screeched and started bouncing on the spot. Everyone was laughing now and I looked back at Bella whose face was entirely too red and buried in Edwards shoulder.

"Guess I'll be seeing you two in my office first thing Monday morning?" Carlisle asked with a smile on his face and a laugh in his voice.

I grabbed two shot glasses off the waiters' tray and shoved one into Alice's hand. "Drink up squirt, I think your plan worked." I joked. It was Alice's idea that we get them dressed as a couple here with lots of alcohol flowing in hope to get them drunk and together. My part in it was to make sure Edward showed and wore the costume she picked out. Looks like it worked. Alice shook her head and handed the shot over to Jasper. "Come on Alice, your plan worked, they hooked up. Time to celebrate, I propose a toast." I lifted my drink towards her expecting her to take back the shot and toast me too.

Jasper shook his head and spoke up in the group silence. "Nah, Em…Alice isn't drinking tonight."

"Why aren't you drinking Alice?" Bella asked, finally breaking her stone cold silence.

Every eye turned to her in anticipation for the answer. She finally smiled again, he face lighting up and glowing with happiness. "Cause I'm two months pregnant!"
