By the time desert came around I was ready to hang myself with the stupid tie Leah had made me wear. If I had to hear one more word about babies or how cute we looked together I may end up stabbing myself in the jugular vein with my dirty butter knife. When I was in relationships I hated it when people gushed about it and now I hated it even worse when I wasn't even technically in a relationship with people gushing about it. Maybe it would have been tolerable if I was actually getting something out of it, but since I wasn't this conversation was not tolerable at all.

Lucky for me though, Leah seemed to be fairing about as well as I was about now. Yet instead of her stabbing herself I was more betting she would stab everyone around her. At least I didn't have to suffer alone. I found myself unconsciously reaching out to touch her hand as a way of letting her know that she wasn't the only person who desired to kill everyone or run away. Leah glanced at me once as she dug her nails in the palm of my hand no doubt wanting me to suffer as much as she was in this moment. I simply grinned at her trying not to wince at the horrible pain. I may love pain now and then, but since we were not in the bedroom I could not see how this was supposed to be in any way pleasurable for me.

"Edward is really good with children." I heard my father cut in and wanted to groan. Actually I wanted to scream because if things continued this way my father would be pulling out the embarrassing baby pictures of me. I knew that no matter what I did it wouldn't stop it because that is just the way my father was. "He loves children and when he was younger he even volunteered at a day care for foster children. He is so much like his mother."

I could feel my eyes threatening to roll in to the back of my head until I heard my fake fiancée speak. She actually sounded interested in something about me and that was new. "You like children? You never told me that. I used to volunteer at a children's hospital in Seattle though I have not had much time to do so recently."

Before I had a chance to say anything my mother already chimed in. "Oh Leah that is absolutely lovely! Maybe all of could go together sometime. I mean those children need all the cheering up they can get and we could even make cookies."

I had to stifle a laugh when I realized Leah was biting back a scowl. "I'm not much of a cookie maker and going to the children's hospital is actually something I like to do on my own when I need to get away. I still appreciate the gesture and I will talk to the staff and let them know you are interested in visiting. They love knowing other people are interested as well. I am sure they get tired of my face after a while."

This is where I decided to pop in and be charming self. I leaned in to kiss her cheek. "Well I am not sure how they could possibly tire of you because I know that I spend every second of every day when I am not with you wishing that I was."

As expected people around the table cooed and smiled all except for Leah who looked like she wanted me to burst in to flames. "As do I my love. What do you say do you think we could go on a walk? I could really use the fresh air."

I knew that my roommate actually meant she needed to get out of there before she exploded. I smiled thanks her way because I actually felt the same way and extended my hand. "Well I think that sounds like a great idea. I could really use some air."

I turned toward the table as I explained our sudden need to leave. "If you will excuse us for a few minutes. Leah and I have some things we need to discuss. I promise we will both be back in time for more talks of the future and I assure you that I cannot wait."

Everyone at the table nodded until Bella suddenly piped up and here I had been thinking or more like hoping that she was done ruining my night. "Well Jacob and I will join you. We need some fresh air as well and it will help for us to get to know each other better Leah. After all I know Edward better than anyone."

The russet skinned Quilette whirled around to face the other girl and I thought for sure she would punch my ex in the face well rather I was hoping for it and yet instead she put on a fake sugary sweet smile. "That sounds absolutely wonderful. I've heard so much about you and I am pretty sure I know more than you know I do."

At this I had to fight back my laugh. I wrapped an arm around Leah's waist and I smirked at my ex. "Leah I do not have any secrets, but if you want to tag along then it is no problem."

"Then we will come along as well." Emily stated as both she and Sam stood up as well. "It will be great to bond as friends."

I rolled my eyes, but Leah was the one to vocalize exactly how I felt. "Oh yeah this sounds like great fun indeed. It's a party all around. If I had known I would've brought streamers and maybe a balloon or two. Well how does Pink put it? Oh yes, I guess that we should probably just 'get this party started' because the sooner it starts the sooner it will be over with."
