Me: Hello world! Sorry I have been gone for so long, school is good as well as my internship (high schoolers aren't that scary…) but I somehow managed to get sick! But with the wonderful creation that is medicine I am able to write again! Wow I managed to say a lot…you're not going to say anything?
Jasper: No, I don't need to say anything.
Me: You aren't going to yell at me?
Jasper: Why would I yell at you?
Me:…I haven't written for a while…
Jasper: I can feel how sorry you are, its not a big deal
Me:…okay…you're not going to ask for more space in the story?
Jasper: You are the master mind not I so what ever you wish to say you can.
Me:…..This isn't going to work! *takes out cell phone*
Jasper: What are you doing?
Me: Getting the other two back. You're really hot and everything but I need someone funny and pigheaded to be my sidekick.
Jasper: You're just going to fire me! Just like that that! After having Alice drag me over here in the first place!
Me: *sigh* sadly yes….I don't own anything twilight, sadly it all belongs to Stephenie Meyer, I am only allowed to manipulate the world they live in from the shadows of my living room sofa.

Really… this is starting to get really old really fast. I mean come on! It was fun the first couple of weeks but seriously! How can anyone stand it? It's been almost two months already! Week after week it's the same thing! Over and over and over again. Comments in the hall, gifts on my locker and let's not forget the phone calls till two am almost every night. Why can't people get over the fact that I am dating Edward! How shallow are these people! Even guys have been calling my house calling me a bitch and a man stealer (one sounded like Lauren's boyfriend Tyler…I see that relationship going nowhere in the future). Thank God it is Friday.
"Bella…why are you slamming your head into your gym locker? Didn't we already discuss how that can kill your brain cells?" I almost didn't hear Rose's question for I was too busy with my self mutilation.
"You do know you will ruin your hair, right? Do you really want my brother to see his girl looking like a rag-a-muffin." At least Alice still has her priorities straight.
I stopped hitting my head long enough to turn and answer them. "They graphitized my gym locker again!" Before I could continue my torment Alice grabbed my arm and pulled me to the bench, "You went and cut your head again, sit here till I get a band aid." And of she danced to her locker (seriously, she danced. I think it was a waltz mixed with a salsa).
As I sat like a good little girl Rose walked up to my locker to review the new art work. "Come on! What is this, middle school?" I nodded my head until I remembered she was facing the other direction.
"I know Rosalie, I agree with you."
"You think these hussies would learn by now!" Another head nod in her direction. "I mean who doesn't know that 'Whore' is spelled with a 'W'! And seriously 'you is a bich? It's 'you are a bitch!" Other girls in the locker room started to stare.
"I know Rose….wait…what?" I looked at her in disbelief as she turned from my locker to hers, grabbed a marker and walked back to my locker to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes…weird. After she was done she turned back to me, I must have had a shocked look on my face, "If they are going to try and scare you off they should at least do it the right way." I couldn't think of anything to say because Alice showed up with the band aid for my forehead (yes it was Hello Kitty again).
Alice never has any trouble catching up with the conversation. "Well I think they are just jealous and should do themselves a favor and find a new hobby. Any way, Bella, did you manage to figure out what piece you want to do for the Christmas concert next month?" She also has a way of steering the conversation to go her way.
"No Alice I haven't yet I was working on a project all last month and now you have me worrying over your costume birthday party next Saturday. You do realize how hard it is to find costumes a week or two after Halloween?"
"Not my fault I was born in November and I told you not to worry about it. I already ordered your costume months ago." She sang as we walked into the gym, no need to worry about tardiness when we once again had a sub that looked like they bit off more than they could chew, I almost felt sorry for the guy but free time was free time. In the back corner of the gym I could just make out Edward and the other two waiting for us to arrive. I could see Edward looking over in our direction and it sent chills down my spine, almost two months and I still get all giddy and girlie around him and I get so lost in his green eyes and the way he smells like cinnamon and after shave….
Rose broke me out of my love bubble, "You didn't do a group theme this year did you? I hate matching everyone else, you agree right Bella?" Before I could answer Alice jumped in.
"You will all have to wait and see you don't mind group costumes, do you Bella?" I hate it when I manage to get caught between these two, being friends with siblings is hard, good thing Em and I never try to put our friends in the middle of our arguments…very often.
By then we had made it over to the boys and were each pulled to our respected partner's side. Edward gave me a peck on my burning cheek as I answered Alice's question (ignoring my brother and Rose's mini make out session, seriously a family therapist could make millions off of our families alone).
"Well, one year Ger and Jazz came and visited during Halloween and we all went as Cowboys and Indians."
Alice gave me a look that said she thought I was crazy, "Bella! You of all people should know that it is Cowboys and Native Americans!" I couldn't help it I started laughing along with Jasper. The rest of the group was giving us weird looks when Jasper told them "We went as the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins, anyone with Swan blood is a big football fan." Emmett just gave Jazz and I high fives.
Edward shook his head and looked down at me, his smirk turning into a frown. "Bella, why do you have a pink kitty band aid on your forehead? Again?"
"I felt like I needed to make a new fashion statement?" Did I mean for that to come out as a question? Edward gave me one of those stares that lets you know that he knows your lying. That and the evil pixie cant keep her mouth shut.
"Someone wrote on her locker again and she felt that banging her head against it would make it all go away faster." Yep I am so destroying her cheddar popcorn stash, fear me pixie, Fear me!
Of course this sent Em on a rant about how no one messes with his baby sis until Rose reminded him that he shouldn't hit a girl unless she could hit him back with the same amount of force (they had argued for days over how girls want to be treated equal but when it came down to fighting it was always wrong to hit a girl…they are so weird), saying something about it being the same as kicking a weak guy. Jasper was a little pissed bit Alice reminded him that I could take care of myself (minus the acts of clumsiness). It wasn't until the sub walked by that the group split up to walk around the gym and act like we were getting exercise (who walks anymore when we have a Wii system?) Of course Edward stayed by my side and decided to give me a lecture on concussions and why they are bad for you. Somewhere between effects of bruising my brain and why it was such a bad thing I remembered something that I was supposed to ask him the day before, if I wanted tonight to go the way I want it to, it's now or never.
"Hey Edward, Leah and Mama Sue wanted to know if you could help me baby-sit Seth and Cabby tonight at Leah and Jake's place." After hearing nothing for five minutes I turned to the left to see that Edward was no longer walking beside me and was frozen in place. With a sigh I walked back over to him, "What's wrong?"
His face was one of pure shock and awe. "They want us…to baby-sit…just the two of us…at night…alone…with no one else there…except two kids who will be asleep by eight…we will be alone…" What the hell was going through his mind to cause him to barley form a coherent sentence? Is it the same thing I thought about…you know just alone time with my boy, maybe actually making it past first base…not that I really know what the bases are (note to self ask Alice about bases).
"Well Em will be there for a bit too, we have been watching the troublesome duo together ever since Seth somehow managed to get Cabby into the tree house but with Em there its like watching three kids most of the time, and Mama Sue and Leah remember how you used to help Em out before I came back and they trust you even if the men of my family don't…" Edward was still giving me a weird look. "If you don't want to help you can always say-" I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence because Edward put his hand over my mouth.
"And not get to spend more time with you? I would love to help, but why do you have to watch them both tonight?" My reply was muffled due to Edward's hand still being on my mouth. "Whoops, sorry Bella."
"As I was saying," I glared playfully at the bashful boy in front of me, "Dad got tickets to some show in P.A. tonight and its been a while since Leah went further than the food store without Cabby, she and Jake need the time away."
"Not that I am complaining but why are they asking me? Why not ask Rose to help again?" Good question…how do I explain to my boyfriend that the last time his sister and my brother helped me baby-sit they disappeared for a good couple of hours but their cars never left the driveway… (Never going to let Seth suggest hide and seek ever again).
Edward was still waiting for an answer after I shivered out of my memories. "Because Rose is helping Alice plan her birthday party for next week, you don't want everything to look like pixie hallow do you?"
"I guess not, okay what time do you need me to come over?" and of course he was giving me my favorite smirk, I couldn't help but stand on my toes and give him a quick kiss on the lips, ignoring the glares from a couple of girls that walked by (it's a perk I get for being his girl bitches, point for me!) tonight was going to be interesting.
(Epov)
To say I was shocked at being asked to help baby-sit with Bella would be an understatement. I was a little disappointed that we wouldn't be alone together but I will take any time with her I can get. Don't get me wrong, her family likes me…at least Sue, Leah, Seth, Jasper and Cabby do, but every time we plan a date one of her male relatives always shows up at the wrong moment. Seriously its ridiculous!
We start to make out on the porch swing and Em is flashing the porch lights (doesn't matter that I brought her home before her 10 o'clock curfew, which is unfair in my opinion, Em doesn't have a curfew). I try to take her to see a movie in P.A. and it just so happens to be the night that half the Fork's fire squad go to see a movie (It was the Last Song people! Anything by Sparks is a date film). We plan a picnic in the park that just so happens to be Sam and Emily's favorite spot to double date with a few of Sam's cop friends (they brought the K-9 unit with them! Playing Frisbee my ass!). And the last date we had we played it safe and took Seth trick-or-treating in a wagon and I got a ticket from Charlie for not putting a seatbelt on the kid (It was a little red wagon people! There is no place to put a seatbelt!)
I found myself sitting in my car in front of her sister's house at seven praying that her brother in-law and her sister had already left and thanking god when I noticed that one of their cars was indeed missing. At least Em was semi cool with me and his sister as long as we kept the PDA to a minimum. If only we were to be actually alone…
It isn't until I hear my car door open that I snap out of my little day dream, only to be slightly disappointed that it is Seth at my side instead of Bella.
"Come on Edward! Bella said that if I eat my dinner we can play video games till bed time but Emmett said we had to wait for you cause Bells burnded her hand on the stove again and she said its fine but Emy said to get it looked at." As soon as the words were out of his mouth I was out of my car and running into the house where I found it very easy to find the kitchen due to the loud noises of a baby crying and two teenagers arguing. I quickly walked over to Cabby to pick him up and make sure he was alright, he seemed fine other than the whole crying part so I put him in the baby swing, told Seth to watch him and not touch anything, and went back into WWIII.
"Isabella Marie will you listen to me for one second! You really should get that looked at!"
"Emmett Jackson I only got a little burn from touching the pot before it cooled there is no way it is bad enough to go to the hospital!"
"Knowing you you're downplaying your pain!"
"Knowing you you're over reacting!"
Not that this wasn't entertaining I decided it was time to make my presence known and to see for myself just how bad this "burn" was. I walked over to Bella and put my arms around her, pinning her arms to her side and keeping her from hitting Emmett with the big bad frying pan (knowing her she would end up hitting either both of them or just herself and we would end up spending the night with my dad in the E.R).
"Emmett, why don't you go and order a pizza, my treat, for dinner since it would take to long and set up the game system for Seth seeing how its only another hour and a half till he has to be in bed."
Even with Em glaring at where my arms were, I stood my ground and kept them around Bella. When his glare of death didn't work he stalked past us and grabbed the phone off the wall, "Seth eats a lot so we will be needing three large four topping pizzas." When I didn't argue with him he left for the living room.
"Now Bella, be a good girl and put the frying pan down so nobody gets hurt." I loosened my hold on her so she could move her arm and put the killing object back on the counter. After that I walked her over to the kitchen table and had her sit in the chair while I looked for a first aid kit somewhere nearby. After I found one under the sink I took out the burn treatment and some bandages.
I kneeled down in front of my angel, "Bella sweetie, I need you to give me your hand." She rolled her eyes but gave her hand to me anyway. "The one you burned not the one that was holding the frying pan of death."
"It wasn't the frying pan of death" She huffed as she complied and gave me her other hand. It didn't look too bad, they were both right that Em was overreacting and that Bella was downplaying it but it wasn't serious, it was just going to hurt like a bitch for a couple of days. After I finished fixing her up I still held onto her, enjoying a few moments of alone time. I wasn't expecting her next comment.
"You should be a doctor." Wow, I hadn't heard that one before…yes that was sarcasm. I shook my head and smiled up at her. "I'll think about it, but right now how about we head into the living room and watch your brothers kill each other on Smash Bros and get first dibs on the food." As I stood and helped her up she gave me a look that said that conversation was far from over but I had my ways of keeping it from coming up again (Alice wasn't the only one in the family that learned my mom's technique of turning a conversation their way).
After the pizza and about thirty rounds of Seth kicking all our asses at not only Smash Bros, but Mario Cart and the Olympics games Bella smartly decided that it was time for the kiddos to go to bed. Cabby was very easy, Bella took him from the swing, gave him a bottle, changed his diaper, and rocked him to sleep in the nursery, he was already half asleep to begin with from the swing and from being passed from Emmett to Bella so often (she looked so natural holding a baby that I found my mind wondering into dangerous territory and almost thinking into the future). Em and I weren't so lucky.
We had to not only convince Seth to turn off the game system, we had to get him into the bath tub, into his pj's and get him to actually lie down for more than two point five seconds. After our fifth attempt Em gave up and walked downstairs leaving me try and get a hyper active six year old to go to bed….he so owes me. Eventually I took my ipod out of my pocket and looked through my play lists until I found the one with my compositions, I found the one I played for Bella on her birthday (it is the only one yet to have a title). After playing the song twice the kid was out like a light. I love how my music affects people.
I made sure to close the guest room door before walking quietly back down to the living room, where to my surprise I found Bella sitting alone on the sofa. I did a quick look around before sitting next to her and pulling her close to me with my arm draped along her shoulders (yep I'm smooth). She placed her head against my shoulder and we started watching Food Network (nothing like Paula Dean's cooking).
Fifteen minutes into the show I had to ask, "So…where did brother bear go?" She giggled a little before answering.
"First you get a point for a Disney reference, and second your sisters called him about fifteen minutes ago saying they needed help getting some of the party things out of Rose's car without scratching the paint." My face must have looked surprised because she went on to say "Emmett figured he could leave the two of us alone for a bit considering that it is almost ten and Leah told him they would be home around then."
I looked at the clock to see that we only had five minutes of alone time. Again my face must have given away my inner thoughts, "What Leah forgot to tell him was that parking is a bitch and they would be about thirty to forty minutes later then expected." And boy did she have a wicked twinkle in her eyes.
"Well if I didn't know any better I would think you women planned this."
"Yep complete with Rose and Alice's cooperation with the phone call and somehow managing to get about six feet of cloth on a roll into a trunk that can barely fit half of Alice's shoe purchases." Wow…I never want to ever get on these girls bad sides. But I got a wicked idea.
"So, Bella what was the next step into your alone time plan?" Her eyebrows shot up and her cheeks turned my second favorite color, red my favorite being the color of her eyes.
I let a chuckle escape, she was too cute sometimes. "So you did have a plan."
"Not a plan, more like an idea…" Now I was intrigued. And I almost didn't realize that my voice got a little husky. "And what would this idea be exactly?" I couldn't help but notice that her gaze kept flickering from my eyes to my lips that suddenly went dry. What was she thinking? What I wouldn't give to be able to read her mind!
She pulled away from my arm only to sit on her knees so her face was level with mine. She moved her hands to either side of my face and…held my face. I have no idea where this is going. "Um…Bella what are you doing?"
"Trying something. If you think about it this will be the first time I kiss you with out any over protective brothers coming out of nowhere, no police dogs showing off their big bad teeth, and no one to give you a stupid ticket for no reason. Its just you and me…and two sleeping kids but I really don't think they count, I mean they are asleep so they still cant walk in on us…well Seth could but I don't think he will, he was really tired and-"
I had to cut her off, we were ruining out of our alone time. "Bella, you were going to try something…" Welcome back my blushing beauty.
"Oh right, sorry, just nervous."
"Don't be."
She leaned into me and placed her lips softly on mine. It was a slow kiss at first but damn my teenage boy hormones, I couldn't stop myself from brushing my tongue against her bottom lip, thanking god that she granted me access and deepened the kiss. Her hands moved from around my face to travel into my hair, gripping it in a way that was anything but painful. While her hands traveled north mine were traveling south to grip her around her waste and lower back, I didn't want to scare her by going to fast too soon. But holy shit she took some initiative and placed herself in my lap causing me to lean back across the sofa with her on top ( I was starting to get a little too turned on and boy was it going to be noticeable soon). Her hands were no longer in my hair and traveling down my chest as I broke our kiss to kiss her cheeks and all the way down to where neck and collar bone meet. To say it was getting heated would be an understatement. It was like we were in our own little bubble…and it just had to pop.
"You better be glad it was me who walked in the door and not my husband with the impressive shot gun. Please tell me you waited until after you put my baby to bed for this little make out session."
Damn, if it had to be anybody to walk in I am so fucking happy it's the sister.
"Now boy toy its time for you to go, I need to have a word with my little sis if you don't mind."
Or not, poor Bella.
