"Did Bella treat you well Eddie?" Rose asks teasingly.
"Eddie?" Bella shouts flying out of the room. "Eddie? Are you Emmett's friend, Eddie?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" He asks obviously confused.
"I can answer that, Edward. Edward, meet Izzy. Izzy, Edward," Alice says with satisfaction.
"You're Izzy? But your name is Bella?" Edward mumbles with confusion, then realization. "Emmett."
"Yep, Emmett and his nicknames… He's called me Izzy since the day we met. How long has he called you Eddie?" She asks, clearly annoyed.
"Since sixth grade. I've always hated it," Edward chuckles uncomfortably.
Bella turns to Alice and Rosalie, hands on hips. "You guys planned this."
Rose shrugs. "We had to do something. You wouldn't meet him, he wouldn't meet you. Now you've met."
"Oh, we've met all right," Bella mumbles, hoping Edward doesn't hear her.
Alice grabs his chart to total his bill, but gasps when she reads what procedures he had done. Rose glances over at the folder. Both women look from Bella to Edward and back again, eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Looks like you got the works, Edward. That will be $80."
Edward hands over his credit card. The silence in the room smothering him. Before leaving he turns to Bella, still mortified, yet unwilling to leave things awkward between them. They do have mutual friends after all. "Thank you for being patient with me and explaining everything so thoroughly. It was nice to finally meet you."
Bella gives him a shy smile. "Nice to meet you too, Edward."
