"You got everything?" My dad asks as he loads the last of my stuff into Edwards car.

"Yes," I repeat for the millionth time.

"Just checking," he grumbles.

The past few days had been...stressful.

Charlie is using his vacation time to stay in San Francisco, at Edwards. Along with Phil.

I couldn't imagine what it was like when Edward told me that they were all staying at his house.

Apparently though, they had become as thick as thieves.

When I had gone to his house, the once neat and tidy space looked like a frat house.

Edward comes out of his house and down the steps to where we are standing in the street.

"You got everything?" he asks me.

I groan and roll my eyes, stomping to the passenger side of the car and climbing in.

"What's her problem?" I hear him ask my dad.

I look at them through the side view mirror.

Charlie shrugs. "Beats me."

Edward gets in the drivers seat and we sit, waiting for Phil and Charlie to finish whatever they're doing so we can get on the road.

"Thanks, again," I tell him.

"What for?" he asks, taking my hand in his and pulling it into his lap.

"For letting Phil and Charlie stay at your place. And Snickers. For letting me store all my crap at your place while I'm...away."

"You don't have to thank me, Bella. Seriously. After everything, it's the least I can do."

I smile and squeeze his hand.

On top of what I just thanked him for, he's also overseen the subletting of my apartment.

I can't afford the rent while I'm gone, so for the next three months, a couple will be staying at my place while their house is being remodeled.

Mrs. Newton had to find a temporary replacement for me, but quickly found one.

Thankfully, I'd still have a job and an apartment to return to.

When we arrive at Bridges, Dr. Black is there waiting for me.

Of course.

He stands by as I saw goodbye to both my dad and Phil, then goes to talk to them while I say bye to Edward.

This is the hard part.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Bella," he says, taking my face in his hands and brushing his thumbs over my cheeks.

"I'm gonna miss you too," I whisper. "I want to tell you something."

"What?" he asks.

"I want you to know that I don't expect you to wait for me."

Edward drops his hands from my face to grab mine. "What are you talking about?"

"Three months is a long time to be apart. I understand if you decide you don't want this, hell, I wouldn't blame you."

"Bella, you're—"

"No. It's a very reasonable thing to say. Our relationship has been a mess. But you've been great the past week. I don't want you to feel obligated to wait for me."

He opens his mouth to reply, but I stop him.

"Don't say anything now, okay? Just think about it."

Edward looks like he wants to argue with me, but then his shoulders slump. "Okay."

Then he tilts his head down and kisses me.

Hard.

With much more passion than was considered decent in public.

"Bye, Bella."

"Bye."

Okay. I got an idea to do outtakes/futuretakes/missing moments, whatever from this fic. Whatever you want to see. Whatever POV. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Most likely they would be in regular chapter form, unless you would prefer short like the story has been.
