You all are amazing! It looks like you all want a few chapters and a third story… so that excites me I already have some ideas about it, but there will be a small wait between the end of this story and the start of the new one, seeing as I like to prewrite the beginning chapters.

"Don't you have any qualms about illegally slitting someone's tires when your entire family is cops?"
"My mom's a stay at home mother. She cancels everyone else out." I smirked as Alice pulled up to the book store parking lot. The lot was almost empty and in full view of the bookstore. "And you can't legally slit someone's tires…" She shrugged.
"Which one is it?" I asked, Alice pointed to a raggedy looking Ford. "Maybe we should leave that alone. It's fucked up." I shook my head and Alice just shook her head flipping open the blade.
"Fucker." She hissed before pushing her door open and getting out. I smirked and followed her lead, getting a rush from the idea of tearing his shit up.
I really need to get out more…
"You don't have a knife do you?"
"Nope, I'm more of a gun person." I said lifting my pant leg slightly showing off the heat strapped to my ankle. I was always alert when we went to visit Riley. He was still a high priority case.
"You have a silencer?"
"No." She sighed and leaned in her car, flipping open the glove compartment and pulling out a smaller knife. "That should do it. You take the back." I nodded and we walked casually past the car, checking the windows for any signs of the owner. My head snapped towards Alice as the sudden rush of air caught my attention. She dragged the blade through the thick rubber easier than I thought possible.
"Get to it. She's coming." My eyes widened and I dug the thin knife into the tire, slitting a straight line down the side. The sound of a bell made me look towards the bookstore seeing an old lady hobble out slowly.
She had a fucking walker.
"Wait a second. I thought you said a man did that!" I hissed across the car to Alice.
"Sorry Bella, we can't all have twenty-twenty vision."
"You told me it was a man!"
"She is not an it Bella. How inhumane of you." She whispered loudly.
"That's an elderly woman, dumbass!" I attempted to slap at her arm but missed, my fist denting the apparently thin metal of the side of the truck. "Fuck. That old bitch is going to sue you." I darted toward Alice's car. She was right on my tail, jumping into the car and starting it up quickly screeching out of the parking lot.
"What's wrong with you? Men and old women look nothing alike! I wouldn't have… if I knew it was a she…"
"What a double standard. You disgust me." She groaned, curling a lip.
"I'm never helping you slash tires again."
"Hey you can't blame this all on me. You jumped into the tire slashing without knowing all the details." I smacked her arm.
"You dick! I was trying to help you out! You said it was a dude that cracked your window."
"How sexist of you." She gasped.
"Okay now you're just bringing random shit up." She shrugged and skidded into the hospital parking lot. I touched the large crack in her window before realizing that she probably couldn't see a thing through that.
"Can you see through that?"
"Nope, I use my side mirrors and rearview mirrors and if I try, I can peak through that right there…" She ran her finger over a space that was about an inch wide. I shook my head and started towards the hospital.
"You think she'll bust you?"
"I'm not worried about her busting me. You're the one that slit her tires." I nodded at a nurse and she waived me back.
"Good friend. Good friend." She scoffed following me into Riley's room; I sat in Edwards lap and pulled his arms around my waist.
"Through thick and thin, darling." I looked around the room then, realizing that the mood was about ten times more somber than when I had left. Ellie sat on Riley's bed pouting while he gave her a tentative smile. I turned to Edward, "What's wrong?"
He shrugged, "We were talking about where Alec-" He looked past me at Riley, "I mean Riley- would go from here." I bit my lip. I hadn't put any thought into that. If his memory came back, like the nurse assumed it would, then I guess he'd go back to his home in New York.
"New York?" I said obviously.
"And if it doesn't come back?"
"New York?"
"We can't send Riley Masen back to New York, Baby. He doesn't exist." I sighed and turned back around.
"Well we can worry about that later, we only have a little time before they kick us out." Riley groaned and restarted playing a hand game with Ellie.
"Watch out for those hands Riley, she isn't all that coordinated." Alice warned from the side of the bed, still not understanding that that slap during their game of patty cake wasn't accidental.
"Stupid." Ellie whispered under her breath.
"Alright everyone, we need to give Riley some more tests, he doesn't seem to be improving, which calls for more testing than usual." I looked sympathetically towards Alec who just shrugged.
"When will he be able to come home?"
"Once a certain amount of his memory comes back he can leave, unless you find it unnecessary for him to be here…" Well of course it wasn't necessary. He had no wounds he was just a bit clueless.
"Thank you," She nodded and I stood with Edward. "We'll be back for you tomorrow." I said before hugging Alec once more. We soon left the hospital, all of us –including Alice- piling into our car.
"Well… well… well. This has been a mighty uneventful day. Right, Bella." I whipped around in my seat.
"How hard are you trying to push it?" She sunk into her seat with a snicker.
"You know what would make it interesting?" She said clapping happily. "Baby names!"
"Baby already has a name." Ellie said in a 'duh' tone. "It's Baby."
"Actually it's Seth." Edward corrected with a roll of his eyes. "And she means the new baby, sweetheart."
"Name her after me. I mean, I'd be the only good influence in her life." Ellie boasted.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize you were just out on a lunch break for the rest of the week." Alice cocked her head to the side and Ellie slapped her thigh. "They can't have two kid's named Ellie anyway. You should name her Alice. After your best friend."
"Mommy, you don't have to name it-"
"Her." Alice piped in.
"We don't know that it's a girl. Mommy said it takes a while to know. I see what she means. I mean, you wear a dress but…" Alice curled a lip and Ellie collapsed into laughter. "We'll never know. And as I was saying, you don't have to name her Ellie you can make her name sound like mine. Like Emmalie. Or Lucy."
"The last thing they want is another you."
"They love me." I was about to agree when Alice cut me off.
"Think what you want." Ellie waived a hand in her face sassily.
"You know what I think?" She said lowly.
"I think you need to put that hand down." Alice rolled her eyes and Ellie complied. Alice spoke to us again, "Or you could name it after Edward. Like… Edward." Edward shook his head.
"I wouldn't put another kid through that name." I grabbed his free hand.
"I like your name. We could always call him Eddie."
He scoffed, "The hell we could."
"Look at you being a bad influence, Daddy."
"We could name her a color. Like, Periwinkle. I like that color." I turned towards Alice again.
"You name your kid Periwinkle and see how long it takes her to change it." She rolled her eyes and I turned back around, laying my head on Edwards shoulder.
"How about Alexandria? She can be a princess!" Ellie squealed. I had no idea she was into princesses, I would have thought she'd name the kid Tonka or some shit.
"You want to be a princess when you grow up?"
"Did I say me?" Ellie asked in exasperated tone.
"Depends on the circumstance." My jaw clenched at the pettiness of the argument and Edward stiffened.
"Okay, let's play the quiet game until we get home." He suggested, before counting down. "One, two… three… go!"
"I lose." Arose two voices from behind us, I groaned and Edward massaged my thigh. I watched his fingers move on my leg and with each stroke I grew… hungrier.
"Did I eat today?" I whispered to myself. We had just rushed out of the house this morning and I hadn't eaten. "Fuck…" My stomach growled loudly and the noise in the backseat seized. The car was silent for about all of three seconds before Ellie screamed.
"You farted you nasty!" There was a smack in the backseat and I shot up. My sudden movement caused my stomach to jolt and a bile rose in my throat.
"Pull over the car." Edward looked warily at me.
"Baby, we're in thick traffic, I can't." I covered my mouth and lurched over in my seat. Edward gasped and fumbled around below the driver's seat, reaching for an empty bag. About three minutes later I was violently sick while Edward rubbed my back and Ellie and Alice fought. As soon as possible Edward pulled over, jumping out and opening my door, pulling me out as well.
"Are you alright?" He asked as I leaned against the car. I nodded and he handed me a towel from god knows where. I looked at him skeptically before wiping my mouth with it. Once I was cleaner he pulled me into a hug. "You want me to make Alice walk." He tilted my face up, "Ellie can too."
"So that we can be called to the station for them disturbing the peace? I think not." He kissed my forehead with a smirk and moved to open the door next to mine.
"Alice, you're up front." He pulled me away from the car and I sagged against him. "God, what happened to you?"
"I don't know…" I knew exactly what the fuck it was though. The arguing, the lack of food, the hormones. But I wouldn't tell him that.
I've got an image to uphold. I snorted at myself. Maybe admitting my punkish feelings would improve my image.
But I digress.
"You want to get back in?" He asked once Alice had moved, I shook my head. My fucking pulse was racing and I couldn't calm myself down for the life of me, my stomach churned and I felt like I was going to pass out. Maybe I developed a car sickness…
"I need to eat… But right now I just kind of want to sit. So distract me?" He nodded.
"Maybe we should think about baby names." Edward said softly as he moved to the back of the car, pulling out two lawn chairs and letting down the windows, with a warning to everyone to stay quiet. He grabbed something from Seth's diaper bag before tossing me a can of mashed sweet potatoes.
"Am I supposed to eat this?" I asked, he shrugged.
"It's edible and you're hungry…"
"That's true…" I popped open the lid and scooped out some with my finger before returning to the subject. "Baby names… What do you think it will be?"
"Well I'd say a boy, because I was on top but we were both standing so that doesn't really work." I smacked his shoulder and he grinned. "I'm joking…"
"Whatever," I laughed softly, he pulled my chair closer to his and threw his arm over the back of it, I laid my head against his shoulder. "If she's a girl, then her name could be Emma, or what about Olivia?"
"I like Olivia." He nodded.
"Then Olivia." See, that didn't take a crap load of bickering.
"Um… Are you kidding me?" Alice leaned out of the window looking quite put out. "You can't just decide like that! You need debate a little argument. Hell it looks like Ellie and I care more about your kid than you do!"
"No, you're just immature. And we can decide like that! How do you think Seth got his name?" I said with a roll of my neck.
"There are so many names to explore! Brooke, Tara, Alana, Marissa, Lucy, Amber, Violet… I mean mother of hell! You don't want your kid to go around like 'Yep, my name was the first one Ma and Pa thought of' and then my kid would be like 'how second rate'." She scoffed.
"Alice please. We know you aren't allowed having children." Edward nodded looking over his shoulder.
"I mean look at what she did to Jasper. Have you heard him talk recently?" I nodded.
"Imagine that times four." We shook our heads and Alice growled.
"And if it's a boy! What then? You gonna' name him Olivia too?"
"Most likely." I shrugged and she threw a pen cap at my head.
"Hunter, Blake, Charlie, Andrew, Cameron, Daniel, Adam… You two are so lazy."
"Anthony?" I asked just to piss her off.
"Anthony." Edward agreed with a shrug.
"Ew, that's ugly!" Ellie screamed.
"It's Daddy's middle name."
Ellie pursed her lips and raised a brow, "Who does that shock? His first name is Daddy. They kind of named him to go nowhere in life."
