:D HI! I had deiced to skip on Edward facing James since we know what happened and there really wasn't a lot to write about with Tammy and Charlie at the Cullen house. Enjoy!


Edward sat in a chair near Bella's bed in the hospital. He had waited patiently for her to wake up. He knew it would be a while so he had Alice fetch Tammy so he could talk to her for a little bit privately.

"I love to singa about a sky for blue or a tea for two… seriously what is up with this song popping in and out of my head?!" Tammy thought to herself.

"I can't wait to take her shopping. She looks a lot better in these than in her old ones." Alice happily said in her mind.

"I wonder what Edward has to say to me. I don't think he'll explain everything to me here." Tammy thought.

"Here you are. Everything will be fine trust me." She winked.

Tammy giggled and nodded her head. She opened the door and walked in. When she saw Edward¸ she shyly smiled "Hey Edward. How's Bella?"

"She's fine but according to Alice, she won't wake up for a little while." He paused "I wanted to ask you…how did it go with Rosalie? Did she take care of you? Because if she didn't you know you can tell me right?"

Tammy smiled "She was fine. Well we got off to a little rocky start but she came around and believe it or not, she wasn't that bad. She was nice."

"She was what?" Edward couldn't believe that last part. "She was nice?"

Tammy nodded "Yep-well she wasn't exactly peaches and cream at first but she mellowed out after I told her I wasn't interested in you or being turned into a vampire."

Edward raised his eyebrows "Oh so that's why. Well I am glad she didn't make you feel any worse than your… condition."

Tammy shrugged "Eh, trust me, I've had worse days." Edward could only imagine just how strong the smell was for Rosalie. Tammy wasn't heavy since it had been a couple of days. Tammy had flown with the rest of the Cullens to Phinnox.

"I'm really glad Esme didn't let me go back to school." She thought.

"I don't think it would've been good for you." Replied Edward.

Tammy gave Edward a questionable look at first and then nodded her head "How did he…oh yeah I forgot."

"You would've been there alone. Knowing people like Jessica and Lauren I'm sure they would've made it difficult for you. I'm sure our classmates and everyone else will have plenty to say about what happened." Replied Edward.

"I could handle them both but the whole school…yeah that'll be a little bit harder." Replied Tammy.

"What does Derek think?"

"Well he thought me running on the highway wasn't the brightest and that I should've gone with Mrs. Stanly despite how annoying she is. And he thinks it's nice that Charlie let me stay with Esme so I can still live in Forks. He knew you weren't in town so he knew nothing could've happened between us."

Edward looked at Tammy "Going to Mrs. Stanly would've been the more practical choice but I know you would've gone crazy with Jessica. So it is a good thing that we found you. Now what's with this running on the highway nonsense?"

"Oh! That's the story we came up with to tell Charlie. Your mom and Carlisle found me running on the highway while they were searching for you. They took me home, Esme let me sleep in and called Charlie after I was done eating."

"Oh ok. So Charlie really believed you?"

Tammy nodded "Yep and he didn't want to take me to Seattle since Esme offered to take care of me until my Aunt if feeling better. He saw no harm in that."

"That was really nice of him."

Tammy smiled "Yeah."

"So does Derek really have doubts and thinks that there really is something going on with you and me?" asked Edward.

Tammy shook her head "No he seems to believe me when I tell him nothing is going on but I think his friend Leo is trying to convince him otherwise." She rolled her eyes "Leo is an asshole."

Edward remembered Leo's thoughts in the cafeteria. "Yeah he is."

Tammy looked at Bella sleeping peacefully. "So…how did this go? I don't know the whole story of what happened. They just told me that you fought some vampire named James and you sucked the venom out of Bella. How did that go?"

Edward sighed. "Sit down." Tammy did and Edward began his side of the story. "Well you see Carlisle, Emmett and I were on our way here to Phoenix to create a different plan. I'm not sure how but somehow while waiting for us at the airport, Bella got away from Alice and Jasper. When I found out… I was so furious with them both but it was mostly aimed at Jasper. I mean I couldn't believe that they lost her!"

"Whoa I wonder how she did that." Tammy said "Ok so she somehow found a way around them so what happened next?"

"Once we got off the plain and found them… they told us what happened and I..I was just so angry at them that I hoisted Jasper by his shirt in the air and slammed him against the wall. I didn't mean to but I cracked it a little. Alice, Emmett and Carlisle tried to calm me down but I wouldn't listen. I was ready to rip Jasper apart since he was the one who was watching her last. He tried to calm me down but I tried fighting back. Carlisle finally calmed me down and made me realize that this was getting nowhere and that we had to move fast in order to find Bella. That's when they showed me this letter that Bella wrote. After reading it I threw it to the ground and ran, searching everyone's mind to see if they saw her. It didn't take us that long to find the dance studio where they were at. As soon as I saw what James was doing, I wasted no time in fighting him off and trying to destroy him." Edward pause for a moment "When I saw that he bit her…." His hands clenched into a fist and he whispered "I almost didn't stop Tammy. Her blood…it tasted so good that I couldn't stop myself…" His hands shook and he looked down in shame.

Tammy moved closer to Edward and put a hand on his shoulder. "But you did Edward. You did stop."

"What if I didn't?"

"I'm not sure but you did stop and look now Bella's safe."

"She is hurt. Look at her! I put her in here. If it wasn't for me…"

"No you didn't put her here. James did that. You saved her Edward. If it wasn't for you, James could've killed her! You're not a monster Edward."

Edward looked up at Tammy and Tammy smiled.

There was a knock at the door. Emmett poked his head in "Is she up yet?"

Edward shook his head "No, Alice said she'll be up in a second."

Emmett grinned and opened the door allowing Rosalie, Jasper and Alice walked in. They were all holding gifts from the gift shop. Rosalie held a flower in a little pot, Jasper held a card and a balloon, Alice held a little snow glob.

Edward whispered to Tammy "Well talk more later."

Tammy nodded her head.

"This is gonna be awesome!" thought Emmett with a big smile.

Edward eyed Emmett "Emmett, Bella is in no condition for you to…"

Emmett gave a fake gasp "Edward I would never do such a thing. It's like you don't know me."

Tammy tried not to laugh while the others gave Emmett a serious look. Jasper said "Emmett is just excited to show Bella his gift from the gift shop."

Emmett turned and grabbed a huge teddy bear that said 'Get Well Soon!' "I know she'll love mind best! You know the gift shop lady said this was the only one they had and I was the first person to buy it. I can't imagine why nobody would want to buy it."

"It's a mystery to us all, babe." Replied Rosalie. "He can be such an idiot but he is sweet when he wants to be." She smiled to herself.

"He practically jumped for joy when he saw it. It scared the gift shop cashier." Thought Jasper but laughed a little in his head "I'll admit it was pretty funny to see the look on her face."

"I think it's sweet." smiled Tammy .

"SWEET! Finally someone get's me!" Emmett's eyes lit up "See! She get's me!"

The Cullen sibs all rolled their eyes at Emmett. "Oh no." they thought at once. Edward looked startled at everyone that for once they all had the same thought. Well not Tammy. She's giggling in her head.

"Edward, Tammy you both need to sign the card before Bella wakes up." Said Alice.

Tammy wrote something first and as Edward was writing his message to Bella, Alice turned to Tammy "This is your gift to give Bella when she wakes up which should be now."

Bella stirred. Everyone except for Tammy turned to Emmett "Shhhh!" Edward got up from his chair and moved closer to Bella.

Bella opened her eyes "Edward?" she asked.

"I'm right here, Bella."

Emmett was about to say something when Alice shushed him "Shhh."

Bella looked around the room "W-What's going on?" She was pleased to see Alice, Jasper and Emmett but froze when she saw Tammy and Rosalie. Then she remembered about Tammy staying with Charlie at the Cullen house to be protected from the tracker. Bella's jealousy came. "What is she doing here?!" she thought to herself angrily but tried not to show it.

Jasper felt Bella's jealousy and tried to relax her which worked.

Alice smiled and stepped forward "We came here to see you silly."

Bella smiled "That's so sweet, thank you."

Emmett stepped forward "And, we brought you presents!" His voice boomed all around the room.

"Emmett, indoor voice." Hushed the Cullen sibs.

Bella and Tammy both giggled.

"That is so sweet." Replied Bella.

Rosalie stepped forward first "Here's a flower." She didn't put that much enthusiasm "From the looks of it you could use something colorful. It's depressing in here."

Edward glared at Rosalie but Bella gave a nervous smile "Thank you Rosalie."

Tammy smiled "A snowglob. It has a unicorn in it. I know it's a bit childish but…"

Bella got a good look at it "No, it's ok, I like it." "It's the thought that counts and it does look cute. At least it's not the cliché snowglob with a house on a hill."

"Yay!" "And it plays a little melody if you ever want to listen to something peaceful." Tammy put the snowglob on the table that was next to Bella's bed.

Bella smiled "Thank you,"

Jasper looked at Emmett but Emmett shook his head "You first brother."

"Ok..." He looked at Bella "Here's a balloon. And a card. We all signed it."

Bella smiled "Thank you Jasper."

Emmett stepped forward with really big grin on his face "Now it's time for my present."

Bella tensed "Oh no." She winced and tried to brace herself for what Emmett's gift.

Emmett turned to the side, bent down and pulled up the huge Get Well teddy bear he brought for her. "Get well soon Bella!" His voice boomed.

Bella couldn't help but smile and laugh at how cute and thoughtful Emmett's teddy bear was. "Awww thank you Emmett. I love it!"

That make Emmett smile big "Now you better get well soon. I got tons of pranks planned out for you."

Bella's smiled turned into a frown and Emmett laughed harder. "Yes!" thought.

Edward looked at everyone "Alright I think Bella's had enough excitement for right now."

"Aww come on Edward, she's fine!" pouted Emmett.

"Sure she is." Tammy thought while eyeing Bella gripping onto her bed sheets.

"Sigh. It's times like this that make Emmett a complete idiot." Thought Rosalie.

"Emmett, she's pale and you made her uneasy." Replied Jasper.

Emmett crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm not the one who put her in…"

"Emmett shhhh." Replied Rosalie.

"None of you guys are cool." Thought Emmett.

"We'll be in the waiting room if you need us Edward." Said Alice.

"Ha! Speak for yourself. I don't know about the rest of you but…" Emmett reached into his pocket and pulled out a disposable camera. "I'm gonna tour around Phinox while we are here!"

Everyone just looked at Emmett with wide eyes and their mouths hanging open.

"Are you insane?!" asked Rosalie.

"You've got to be kidding Emmett!" Jasper raised his voice.

"Emmett there's no way you're walking out in broad daylight! You know we can't do that!" shouted Edward.

"Actually he can." Tammy spoke up "Ah…Edward actually he can."

Edward looked at Tammy "What do you mean? He can?"

Alice stepped forward "She's right because it's cloudy outside. It'll be like that for the rest of the day."

"See! Now you all can just chill. Seriously. Now how often do we get to visit the good old south?"

Rosalie rolled her eyes "Oh Emmett."

Jasper, Edward, Bella and Tammy just looked at Emmett like he was crazy.

"Ah actually Emmett…"

"I wouldn't even bother with that." Replied Edward.

"So who's with me?" smiled Emmett.

Alice skipped happily over to Emmett. "I'm in!"

Tammy smiled "Me too!"

Jasper sighed "Why not?"

Emmett looked at Rosalie "Rose?"

Rosalie smiled "Of course babe."

Emmett held out his arm for Rosalie to take which she did happily and Emmett shouted "Onward everyone!" As he led the way, everyone smiled at how Emmett could be.
