A/N: Uh, I'm not sure if FF if failing or if Gmail is failing but I haven't received not 1 review in the past hour. Is anyone still there or did you go to sleep? Or did you girls stop reading? One more after this one and then the O/S.

* looks for everyone *

Special Note: I'm all up for criticism in the reviews, I just ask that if you don't like it or disagree with something, I or any of the other authors write, that you be respectful about it. We do this for free and take time out of our RL and families in order to write such stories. We do this out of love.

3 months later...

I'm tired, so, so, tired.

I don't know what day in the week we are in.

I only know it's daytime and nighttime because either the sun is present or not.

I sleep when I can, which is not much.

Claire doesn't have a concept of time either since she is up most of the night and yet sleeps most of the day.

Ed used to get up during the night and help me.

But then gradually, he stopped helping.

He's been working so much in order to save for a house that he's too tired when he comes home.

When he doesn't sleep, he's grumpy.

However, he does make sure I wake up when I'm too tired to hear the baby cry at night.

How thoughtful of him... note the sarcasm.

I thought babies were supposed to sleep through the night once they passed the three month mark?

I was looking forward to it.

To be able to finally sleep through the night...

I'm so tired that even sex has become a chore.

Just the thought of getting undressed has me tired already.

Not worth it.

But he doesn't understand that.

So, I've been ignoring him.

It's hard to do so because all I want to do is hug and kiss him.

But he needs to learn...

Or like Rosalie likes to point out: house-train him.

"It's impossible, Rose," I complain. "He makes me feel guilty and I can't help it. He's right anyway. Shouldn't I want to devour him now that we've been cleared to do so?"

Rosalie snorts. "Of course you would feel guilty. You smashed an ant and fed its colony out of remorse."

I stick out my tongue.

It was a long time ago and the only reason I did that was because that ant had baby ants following.

"How did you get Paul to sleep through the night?" I ask, jealousy evident in my tone.

Rose grins as she does anytime her foster baby is mentioned. "I put an alarm clock on a set time and gradually increased the time of sleep."

It can't be that easy...

Can it?

Rosalie's well-rested fresh look convinces me.

Looks like I'll be investing in an alarm clock today.

"Once you're well rested," she adds, with a devious smile, "you'll have so much energy that all you will be thinking about is jumping Eddie."

I hope so, God I hope so.

A/N: Reviews are the same as your first baby finally sleeping through the night... Oh you just better leave me some luv.
