Chapter 5 Misunderstandings

EPOV

Why do hangovers have to make you feel like your dying? Is the stupid stuff we just have to become brave enough to do when intoxicated not enough of a punishment? I guess not because right now i would be happy six feet under if it mean't the inccecid pounding in my head would stop.

 I got up and went to take a shower hoping the hot water would make me feel better but it didn't so I headed down to breakfast Alice's food is always amazing.

"Wow Edward you look like shit, did you contract a deadly disease or something?”

“Thanks Rose I love you too now shut the fuck up because I could ask you the same question.” I replied.

I placed my head in my hand not lifting my head when Bella walked in, was it a bit of a coward move? Yes, it was but I really didn’t want to think about last night right now.  When I finally looked up Alice walked in and I caught Bella staring, I smirked as she blushed at being caught.

We all enjoyed a rather silent breakfast and Bella had taken the dishes into the kitchen when I heard the ridiculous ringtone I have for Seth instantly helping my hangover induced mood.

‘I drank 30 beers for breakfast,

Cause Im a Bro Bro Bro
And I took the dirt bike to glamis,

Cause Im a Bro Bro Bro
I didn't jump one fucking jump,

Cause Im a Bro Bro Bro
I just talked about the river.

Cause Im a Bro Bro Bro

I listened to him talk about some chick he liked at school and I told him how my night had gone leaving out the part about fucking his sister of course. When he asked me to remind Bella he was coming to stay the night I was pleased I’d get to hang out with the kid until he mentioned bringing that Jake douche.

Once the girls had left I pulled two beers out of the fridge and set up the Xbox, i waited patiently for him to start talking but after an hour I’d had enough it was time for him to tell me his shit.

“Here dude now talk.” I said thrusting a beer at him.

“I fucked up Edward.”

“I already gathered that Jazz so your going to have to elaborate.” I replied resisting the urge to chuckle at my sarcasm when I saw the look on his face, I’m not a complete dick… most of the time.

“I asked her to marry me Edward”

“And that’s a bad thing because?”

“She didn’t say yes.”

“Oh…wait what!? Were both talking about Alice right, the girl who has being planning her wedding since she was 7 said no?” I asked completely confused.

Jasper sighed and took a minute before answering.

“It’s why I asked her, well why she thinks I asked.” He paused again shaking his head before continuing.

“She thought she was pregnant Edward, I was so fucking happy man. I’ve been thinking of asking her to marry me for a while now and when I saw that positive pregnancy test I just couldn’t wait, so the night before her doctors appointment I asked her. I guess I used the wrong choice of words and now she thinks I only asked her because I thought she was pregnant. When she came home from the doctors and said I didn’t need to feel obligated to marry her anymore because she wasn’t pregnant I lost it with her, we got into a huge fight and now she won’t even let me explain, I don’t know how to fix this. I love her so fucking much Edward I was so happy at the thought of her carrying my child and that I finally got the courage to ask her to marry me and now it’s all fucking gone.”

“We both know my sister is overly dramatic and stubborn, she’ll come round Jazz give her some time and she’ll let you explain. You know she’ll fight how she feels until she explodes and then she’ll be begging to talk to you. Now where have you been staying, and don’t look at me like that I heard you leave after you thought we’d all gone to bed?”

“I had been staying in our bedroom, Alice has been sleeping in a guest room, but I stayed at a hotel last night.”

“Jazz you know if you ever need a place to stay all you have to do is say the word but I think you and Alice will be fine.”

“Yeah thanks man, now come on I’m going to kick your ass on Call of duty… again.

My phone rang and I answered it without checking my caller ID much to my initial regret.

"Hello?”

"Edward it's Bella." Fuck.

"Bella now's really not a good time to talk about what happened last night in fact why don't we not talk about it at all." I had no idea what the fuck came over me when I fucked her over the counter last night and the last thing I wanted to do was discuss it with her. I’m a coward so shoot me.

"Edward you fuckward

“Fuck Bella why didn't you just say that!" I said catching Jasper's attention.

"I tried you ass now help me!"

"Okay, okay where are you?"

"In the spa car park."

I told her we were on our way and what to do to help Alice mouthing panic attack to Jasper as way of explanation for what was going on.

"Alice, Bella's right he loves you we all do and we need you to listen to her heartbeat, breathe with her."

Jasper was about to say something but I stopped him telling him to wait until we got there, that right now he might just make her worse, reluctantly he nodded his head in agreement.

"Bella we’re almost there just keep doing what your doing."

A moment later and we pulled into the car park Jasper shot out before I’d even turned the engine off. I followed catching up to him just as he ripped their car door open.

“Let me just check her breathing first man.” I said clasping Jasper on the shoulder, he nodded without a word and stepped back to let me in. I could tell that Jasper's presence was starting to cause her to hyperventilate again.

“Hi sweetie, your okay but you need to take slow breaths for me okay.” She nodded her head but seemed to still be trying to take gulps of air.

“I c…can’t… breathe.”

“Alice look at me do you trust me?” Again she nodded her head in response.

“Good now hold your breath.” She carried on gasping for air whilst looking at me like I was crazy.

“Alice you just said you trust me now fucking do it.” She took a big breath and held it as I counted to five out loud then told her to breathe out slowly.

“Good girl and again.” It was working she had calmed down emotionally and now her breathing was almost back to normal, I could feel Jazz hovering behind me not sure of what to do.

“Jasper talk to her.” I stood up and stepped back so he had room to kneel in front of her.

“Hey Alicat you scared me, please look at me darlin’. I love you do you understand, I love you. I know I messed it all up but I want to marry you more than anything. I didn’t just ask because I thought you were pregnant, it gave me the push I needed but honey I’ve had this ring for months now. I just never had the courage to ask you and for that I’m sorry and I’m so sorry for the way I did ask you I know I didn’t get it right but…” Jasper was cut of by Alice throwing herself onto his lap wrapping her arms around his neck.

“I’m sorry too I love you Jasper.” Jasper’s whole face lit up and he squeezed her tighter before letting go and digging into his pocket taking out Alice’s engagement ring.

“Mary Alice Cullen I love you more than I can ever show you and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with your crazy ass, will you marry me?” Alice let out a high pitched squeal as she jumped back into Jasper lap shouting yes over and over again.

When they started making out I turned away not wanting to watch my sister make out with her boyf…fiancé. Unsure where to look I turned towards the car my eyes landing on Bella, She was watching Alice and Jasper with a huge fucking grin on her face.

“Aww look at those two they’re so cute.”

“Err I’d rather not.”

“What now you can’t even be happy for your own fucking sister Edward she just got engaged for fuck sake.” She snapped, all traces of happiness on her face now gone and the previous animosity between us had returned.

“No Bella I just don’t want to watch my sister slobbering all over his fucking face okay!”

Her response was to slam the car door in my face.  I went round the other side and climbed in when I realised Alice and Jasper had already left during our exchange, leaving me with an uncomfortable ride home with Bella.

“What the fuck are you doing Edward?”

“Err getting in the car.”

“I see that. Why are you in my car?”

“Because Ali and Jas have already left, so you are going to give me a ride home.” I said sticking my tongue out, childish I know but it irritated her so it was worth it.

“Fucking Alice and Jasper just wait till I see them the bitches.” She mumbled to herself. “Fine.” She huffed setting off.

The drive home was awkward, neither of us saying anything and It was driving me crazy. “What happened with Alice Bella?  I knew something was up with Jasper but we managed to talk about it without any hyperventilating. She’s never had a fucking panic attack. I thought spas were supposed to be relaxing and shit! Damn it!

“Don’t you dare take this out on me Edward Cullen. She was pretending everything was ‘peachy’ like she always does and it became too much and she burst. I’ve never seen her like that either Edward and it scared the shit out of me too okay.”

We both stayed quiet the rest of the drive and eventually she pulled up in front of my driveway. I mumbled a thanks and shot into the house going straight upstairs to take a shower. I stood letting the water beat down on my tense muscles trying to relax them but it wasn’t working. I was pissed, I was pissed at Jasper for upsetting my sister, I was pissed at Alice for scaring the shit out of us like that, I was pissed at Bella because well I was always pissed with her and I was pissed at myself, I was just pissed in general. The water started to run cold so I quickly finished up and went to grab a beer before I headed to the restaurant.

Chapter 4 The morning after

BPOV

I woke up to the smell of Bacon and eggs causing my stomach to do flips with nausea but it also smelt delicious. I sat up to head to the bathroom gasping as I remembered what happened last night, I fucked Edward. Shit I fucked Edward! Not daring to move too quickly I got up slowly and noticed some Tylenol and a glass of water Alice must have placed on the bedside table, which I was extremely grateful for. I went in to the adjoining onsuite to wash my face and brush my teeth and got dressed into the clothes Alice had left me; I took a deep breath ready to head downstairs. I wished I could hide up here until I knew he had left but I couldn't, part of me hoped he wouldn't be down there that he'd already left but deep down I knew better, Alice will have cooked her usual group breakfast for us to all sit down together not taking no for an answer.

"Morning Bella, How are you feeling?" Alice asked as I stepped into the kitchen.

"Morning Alice." I mumbled giving her a half smile " I've felt better, Thanks for the Tylenol and clothes by the way."

"No problem I thought you might need them, why don't you go join the others, breakfast is almost ready." She said smiling sweetly at me.

I nodded returning the smile and took another deep breath as I entered the dining room.

"Hey, look who it is, you couldn't resist the smell of Alice's cooking either?" Emmett boomed.

"Jesus Em could you tone it down a bit?" His loud voice causing me to wince at the thump it caused in my head.

"Sorry B. Feeling a little rough I take it." He said chuckling.

I groaned placing my forehead on the cold surface of the table in response.

"It's not just you Bella, Em here refused to leave the bedroom until he could smell food, and Edward looks like he's dying of a terminal disease this morning and I’m about ready to hurl." Rose said as i lifted my head to look at Edward, Did he really look that bad?

The answer was yes he did, his head was leaning into his hand as he glared at Rose and he had big dark circles under his eyes. His clothes had just been thrown on and I noticed one of his buttons wasn't done up right on his shirt.

Just as he looked up to see me staring at him Alice walked in announcing breakfast was ready.

"Emmett make sure you leave enough for everyone else" Alice chided because Emmett had already started eating before she had managed to place everything on the table.

"Where's Jasper?" I asked noticing he wasn't here.

"Oh, he went out to get some juice, he should be back any minute." She half smiled and shrugged.

A few minutes later and Jasper returned with the juice and we all enjoyed our pancakes, bacon and eggs, there wasn't much conversation but it was a comfortable silence. I started to drift off in to my own thoughts of last night thinking about the way his hand traveled up my thigh, the way his hot breath felt against my skin, his long fingers as they dipped inside me. Once again before I realized what I was doing I muttered 'ah fuck me' to myself as I shifted in my seat from the throbbing between my legs, making everybody suddenly snap there heads towards me.

"You okay there darin'? " Jasper asked on behalf of the table.

"Err yeah sorry, I guess I got lost in my thoughts." I said glancing at Edward who just smirked at me probably remembering what happened last time I accidentally said fuck me out loud.

I got up to start clearing the dishes.

"Do you need us to help you with that before we go B?"

"No Rose you get going I got it, I’ll spare you the wrath of Mrs Hale we can't have you damaging her reputation by turning up late now can we."

Everyone chuckled "Believe me to them everything I do is an 'embarrassment'."

Rose's parents are very high society sorts of people that care more about there appearances than there daughters happiness. They were the reason she dated Royce king, he was among their class and was greatly respected in their social circle and look how well that turned out. Since she married Emmett and moved here to Seattle they only attend special functions, apparently her bitch of a mothers much younger sister getting married for the third time is classed as a special function.

"Besides I’m sure Edward can always help you." Alice said with grin.

I sighed " Alice all I have to do is load them into the dish washer I don't need help with that."

I pick up some more plates and head in to the kitchen when i hear the familiar ringtone Edward has set for when my brother calls. Seth and Leah have been my step brother and sister since there mom Sue married my dad 4 years ago, they've always lived on the Res with Jake so I’ve known them since I was 8 and we all made mud pies together. Edward and Seth are pretty close and often hangout.

5 minutes later as I’m shutting the dishwasher drawer Edward walks in.

"Erm Seth said to remind you he's staying at your place tonight, and that since you'd probably forgotten he's bringing Jacob with him." Edwards jaw was clenching and his fists where balled slightly at the side of his body.

Just then Jasper came in " Kate and Garrett are going to meet us at the restaurant tonight, Garrett called said he was able to swap his shift at the hospital."

"Oh good, Seth’s staying at mine tonight but I forgot until now is it ok if he joins us? That way Jake won't have to drive up just to drive home early tomorrow." I asked.

"Yeah of course, oh and Alice has gone to get ready she wants you to meet her in our room says you too have got spa appointments."

"What we don't have a..." I start to say before Jasper gives me a pointed look that tells me just to go find Alice.

...-~-…

An hour later and we were heading into the spa for our sudden appointment, but as i figured Alice wanted to talk I didn’t say anything. We had massages, facials and a manicure and pedicure without one word from Alice other than general gossip so after we had lunch in the cafe and back at the car I decided it was time she spat it out.

"Ok Alice are your going to tell me what were doing here or are you going to keep pretending this is a normal day for us?"

"What can't I want to spend the day with my best friend?"

"Alice" I said in a warning tone, something was eating at her and it was time she told me.

"Ok fine, I... I... well I...Jazz..." She stuttered trying to form the right words so I placed my hand over hers to try and comfort her.

"Jazz well he proposed."

"Alice that’s great isn't it?"

"No It's..." She couldn't say anymore before a sob wracked through her.

"Alice honey talk to me I thought you wanted to marry Jasper?"

" I do."

"Well then I don't understand, why is him proposing a bad thing?"

"Be...becau...because. he. only. did. it. because. he. thought. I. was. pregnant.” Tears flowing down her cheeks and she had the saddest look in her eyes.

"You thought you were pregnant?"

Alice nodded her head " I was late so I took a home pregnancy test. It was positive but I wanted to be sure so I thought I’d wait until I’d seen a doctor before I told Jazz, we'd talked about having kids but in the future you know when were ready, so I’ve been taking the pill. He came home early and I didn’t hear him come in because I was in the bathroom, he saw the test in my hand. He was so happy Bella I’ve never seen him light up like that. I made an appointment with my doctor for a few days later, the night before he proposed to me. He said he wanted our child’s parents to be married, that he wanted us to do it properly, be a proper family. I couldn't do it Bella i want to marry him because he wants to marry me, not because he thinks that we should be married when we have children. I told him that, that I couldn't do it for those reasons. I left and stayed at Mom and dads for the night he tried to tell me that’s not why but it is Bella I know it is. The next morning I went to the doctor and she told me I wasn't pregnant like I thought, that the promethazine... I was taking can...cause a...false...positive." Alice was sobbing hard and her breathing was labored I tried to calm her down before she started to hyperventilate.

"Alice sweetie I’m so sorry everything’s going to work out I promise but you have to calm down, try to take deep breaths okay, Can you do that for me?" She nodded her head but now she was gasping for air and still trying to form sentences she was beginning to have a panic attack and I didn't know how to help her. So i did the only thing I could think of, I called Edward.

"Hello?"

"Edward it's Bella."

I heard him groan slightly down the phone but I didn’t have time to think about it now.

"Bella now's really not a good time to talk about what happened last night in fact why don't we not talk about it at all."

"Edward you fuckward that’s not why I’m calling it's Alice she's having a panic attack and I can't calm her down Edward I don't no what to do she can hardly breathe." I said not breathing myself as I rushed out my sentence.

"Fuck Bella why didn't you just say that!"

"I tried you ass now help me!"

"Okay, okay where are you?"

"In the spa car park."

"Were on our way. I want you to try get her breathing with you slow deep breaths, I also want you to try some skin to skin contact hold her gently but firmly to your chest so that she can hear your heart beat and put me on speaker phone."

"Okay your on speaker, Alice Sweetie breathe with me. Everything’s going to be fine Jasper loves you Alice he.loves.you." I said as I did as Edward asked and held her close to me so that she could hear my heartbeat, hoping it would help calm her.

"Alice, Bella's right he loves you we all do and we need you to listen to her heartbeat, breathe with her."

"He...he...doesn't want...to ...mar...marry...me." I could hear Edward in the background telling Jasper to shut up and let him handle things incase he made it worse but I don't think Alice noticed.

"Bella were almost there just keep doing what your doing."

"Shh Alice your both going to be okay, you and Jasper are going to talk things through and everything will work out the way it's supposed to." Her sobs were slowly starting to become quieter and she wasn't taking such big gasps of air anymore but i was relieved when Edwards’s car pulled up.

Chapter 3 Sexual Tension

BPOV

I heard the guys come through the door which didn't surprise me if we ended up here they were bound to do the same, instead I kept my back to them as I concentrated on creating my cocktail shouting a quick hello.

"Hey guys want a cocktail there yummy?"

"Bella I think they've had enough tonight they’re already going to regret drinking so much and I think you will too." Jasper chuckled.

"Spoil sport." I said turning to pout at him.

"Aww come on Jazz it'd be rude not to taste Em'" Emmett's voice boomed throughout the kitchen.

"Emmett Cullen! You get your ass in here." Rose shouted from the guest bedroom.

"Sorry Bella rain check on the drink I'm off to see m'lady."

Emmett headed to the room Alice had placed Rose in "Coming love monkey." He said shortly followed by an "Ow! What was that for?"

"Edward you get the couch, goodnight guys" Jazz said chuckling as he headed towards his bedroom.

"Those look disgusting!" Turning around I spotted my worst nightmare as I stood alone in the kitchen with Edward. Why didn't it occur to me that he would be here?

"Oh great you're here, well if it looks so disgusting don't taste it!" I sneered.

"I won't, now hand me the tequila I don't need all that fancy fruity shit."

"No if you can't ask me nicely then you can get it your self." I spat

"Fuck Bella why do you always have to be so difficult?" He sighed rubbing his hands across his face in an exasperated manner.

"Difficult I'm being difficult," I started laughing and he looked at me like I was crazy. " Of course I'm the difficult one because Edward fucking Cullen is never difficult!"

Edward just chuckled at my little rant, which pissed me off even more until my breath hitched as he leaned over me to reach for the tequila bottle and I forgot why I was pissed in the first place. I could feel the heat of his body and smell his heavenly scent causing my body to melt a little; I closed my eyes whispering "fuck me" to myself under my breath. Just as I realized he'd heard me Edward pushed me hard against the kitchen counter making me gasp, I snapped my eyes open to meet his lust filled gaze.

"Don't say things you don't mean Bella!" Edwards’s aggression shocked me, i was used to it and had dealt with it many times before what surprised me was, I was turned on. Edward Cullen the man that always manages to turn my best days into my worst had roughly shoved me against the counter after I had unconsciously asked him to fuck me, and I liked it.

"W...who said I didn't... I didn't mean it?" I stuttered out without thinking it through.

"Say it Bella! I need to hear you say it, tell me you want me to Fuck you." He whispered into my ear.

I could feel his erection straining against the confines of his jeans pressing against me, telling me he wanted me as much as I wanted him in this moment so without anymore hesitation I told him.

"Fuck me Edward." I breathed.

"Turn around." Edward growled.

I did as he asked and turned around as he roughly pressed me up against the kitchen isle inching my dress further up my thigh. I placed my hands further out onto the countertop to help steady my self while Edwards hand slowly traveled up the back of my thigh and made its way up and inside my panties.

"Fuck Bella you’re so wet." Edward breathed in my ear as he dipped his hand into my aching core.

"For you, all for you."

"Do you know how much this fucking dress has teased me since you wore it to thanksgiving dinner?" I shook my head I didn't even realize he'd noticed it.

"You don't wear a bra with it." He smirked as I gasped realizing he was telling me he'd been able to see my nipple threw the thin fabric.

Without saying anything else he thrust into me in one swift motion causing me to cry out louder than I should have, he quickly started increasing his pace pounding into me hard enough for me to slide back and forth on the surface of the counter.

"Ahh… shit Edward… yo…you feel … so …good." I said, my knees starting to buckle.

"Fuck Bella you’re so amazingly… tight." He grunted and started pounding into me even harder.

"Ngh Edward I’m …so… close, please." I begged

"Mmm that's it baby cum for me, cum on my cock!" He said as he reached down with his hand that wasn't holding me up and started rubbing my clit furiously causing me to come undone.

"Oh god!" I said Feeling Edward shoot inside me as he came with me.

"Shit Bella!" He said resting his head on my shoulder, both of us panting heavily.

My legs were shaky and we were both completely out of breath but we didn't have long to collect our selves and come down from our high before we heard footsteps on the stairs.

Edward quickly pulled out and zipped up his jeans and I instantly felt the loss, I quickly scrambled went to sit in the stool next to me before whoever was about to walk in noticed I could barley stand.

"Oh hey guys I didn't think you'd still be up, are you okay Bella you look a little I don't know shaky are you feeling okay?" Alice looked at us with suspicion making me nervous.

"Oh my god you two were fighting again weren't you? Honestly why can't you just be friends? She said as she poured the milk she took out of the fridge into a glass.

"I'm fine Alice I guess I’ve just had too much to drink and no of course we weren't fighting."

"We don't always fight you know." Edward added

"Oh please you both look guilty as sin, you know you should just Fuck and resolve this sexual tension rather than fighting with each other."

We both gaped at her as if she'd grown a second head, I quickly composed my self and said I was off to bed kissing Alice on the cheek goodnight. As I was walking away I could just make out what Edward was saying when he'd finally got himself together.

"That's not sexual tension Alice." He laughed nervously

"What ever you say big brother."

"Ugh goodnight Alice."

I went to the bathroom to clean up the cum I could feel dripping down my leg before I climbed into bed for a restless sleep thinking about what had just happened, was it really sexual tension?

EPOV

I got set up on the couch trying to fall asleep but I just couldn't, I couldn't stop thinking about what I did with Bella I plain fucked her and it was amazing. Was Alice right, was the reason we fought so much down to sexual tension? Is that what I acted on tonight? Or was I just drunk?

The dress Bella wore was a beautiful deep purple color that fit her body perfectly. The first time I saw her wear it was to thanksgiving dinner at my parent’s house. We always dress up to go there and when it's time to leave we all end up back at someone’s house to see who can get drunk the quickest. We all ended up drunk in about the same amount of time, either that or we just couldn't tell but who gives a fuck anyway the night still ended with a huge fight landing me and Emmett in the hospital. No one can remember exactly what happened but we do no it was me and Bella who started it. Or I may have told her something about not being able to pull off the innocent look she normally went for in that dress and so she bitched at me, somehow Me and Em ended up with bloodied and bruised faces, that shit hurt even when drunk.

That’s how me and Bella have always been when were around each other, Hostile, Alice is definitely wrong if it was Sexual tension then Fucking her would have gotten it out of my system, yet she still seems to infuriate me just by thinking about her.

Chapter 2 Distractions

Previously:

“I can’t get pregnant.” Rose finished quietly.

"I'm so sorry you guys, god me and my big mouth, when did you find out?"

"I always new it was a possibility but we found out for definite about a month ago."

"Have you told your therapist?" Jasper asked bringing his own professional side out, being a psychologist meant he tended to analyse situations even when you didn't want him to he just couldn't help it.

"Yeah actually and it helped me and Em come to a decision about something, Angela offered to be a surrogate and we accepted.” She said tentatively.

Chapter 2:Distractions

BPOV

“Wow that’s great you guys I’m so happy for you. Is Angela sure about this?” I asked genuinely happy that something good might come out of this, we all new how much Rose wanted to have children but couldn’t seem to get pregnant. I knew they would both make great parents and I hoped one day they could be.

“Yes, actually we’ve already sort of started the process” She said warily.

“What do you mean you’ve already started the process? When did all this happen? How come Angela knew you couldn’t get pregnant? Alice asked sounding a little hurt that we weren’t the first people she told and that she has known for a while now and didn’t say anything. And to be honest I was a little too, we were supposed to be her best friends but I knew she probably had her reasons.

Rose took a deep breathe before starting to answer all Alice’s questions.

“Well after Royce attacked me I had to have surgery on my uterus as you know, they told me that they wouldn’t know for sure until my body had, had time to heal but that the amount of scarring would most likely cause me to miscarry if I even managed to get pregnant at all. We tried anyway but when nothing happened I finally went to see a doctor, on the day of my appointment after Dr Harper confirmed that I couldn’t get pregnant it all finally hit me. I knew deep down what they where going to tell me but when that final bit of hope was taken from me I couldn’t deal. When we got to the parking lot and I saw young couple about to start their family I broke down. It was the first time since the night of my attack that I had cried so hard or even gotten angry. I was suddenly so angry at him for what he did to me and what he took from me.

Tears began to roll down Rose’s cheek as she struggled to tell us what she went through so Emmett placed his hand on roses shoulder and kissed the top of her head and then continued for her.

“Rose started to get kinda well hysterical and I tried everything I could think of to help calm her to down but nothing was working she was still screaming and shouting and then she started hitting the car so I called Edward.”

“Why Edward?” Alice asked slightly confused.

“Well we were still in the hospital parking lot and I knew he was still on his shift, so I called him and asked him to meet me outside.” Emmett answered.

“Wait you couldn’t calm her down but you thought Edward could?” I scoffed.

“I was struggling to keep hold of her while she was thrashing around in my arms and hitting me, without hurting her or her hurting herself besides Edward can perform miracles.”

Jasper smirked obviously knowing what Emmett meant, Edward must have seen the confused look on our faces because he answered our unspoken question.

“I stuck a needle in her arm giving her a mild sedative.”

“Oh.” We all said at the same time in acknowledgment.

“Yes you asshole did you have to do it so hard my arm was still hurting when I woke up?” Rose asked glaring at him.

“Sorry but you were moving around so much I was lucky to get it in your arm at all.” Edward chuckled.

“Hey! I already apologised for that.” Rose said sheepishly “Anyway during my meltdown I must have dropped my phone and Angela was the one who found it on her way into work. When she brought it over to give it back to me I invited her in and I guess everything just poured out and I told her everything. I’d mentioned us looking into surrogacy before adoption at least that way we’d still be able to have biological kids, a week later she came to me with the offer to be our surrogate.”

“We sat down with Angela and Ben and talked about everything neither of them wants anymore children they both agreed after Eric was born that they wouldn’t have anymore so Ben had his junk snipped.” Emmett added with a shiver probably at the thought of anything sharp going near his own junk.

“So what happens now that Angela’s been cleared to go ahead with this, you get her pregnant?” Alice asked.

“It’s not quite that simple but yeah we’ll be starting the process next week, we have to sign everything with our lawyers first and then ill start having fertility injections.”

“Oh you guys that’s so awesome!” Alice squealed whilst once again bouncing in her seat from excitement I love Alice but Jasper is a saint for having so much patience with her because her energy certainly tires the rest off us out.

We spent the rest of the night celebrating there news before heading home to bed ready for work the next day, I just hoped all this worked out for them they had been through so much, wasn’t it about time they had some luck, just abit of happiness?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday

EPOV

I couldn’t stop thinking about last night or concentrate on my patients and that wasn’t fair they needed my full attention so I decided to take an early lunch. I called Jasper and Emmett, maybe a boys night out would be a good distraction although I wasn’t sure why I needed one after all Bella and I had never gotten along. Just because Bella needed my help didn’t change anything she still hated me and I still acted like a jerk towards her but the look in her eyes was new and I couldn’t put my finger on what it was so Emmett's news was a good excuse.

I decided to work from home today my foot was still sore and all I could think about was Edward, how for a few minutes I had experienced a whole new side to him. I was told he had a different side to his hardass personality but never really believed it until yesterday. But now I was pissed I knew he could be nice he just chose not to be. I battled with myself for over an hour trying to decide if I should confront him, ask why he hated me, why he had to act like such a prick towards me. Instead I decided to call Alice, Edwards sister in law I thought it would be nice to celebrate Rose and Emmett's hopefully future child and my best friend was always so cheery and perky the complete opposite to him. I thought going out for a drink with her and Rose would rub some of cheeriness off on to me long enough to stop me from doing anything stupid like starting another argument with Edward.

It was 6.30 in the afternoon and my shift was finally over I could go home and be ready to meet Jasper and Emmett at 7.30 at the bar. I needed this and I was glad I hadn’t had to work a double at the hospital and cancel like many times before.

“Eddie! over here.” Emmett bounced in his seat when he called me over just like Alice does when she has arranged a shopping trip with the girls.

“Jasper, Emmett what’s with the excitement you look like Alice bouncing in your seat like that? And dont ‘call me Eddie!”

“I was not bouncing.” he stated “I’m just happy we finally got a boys night out I was sure Rosie wouldn’t let me come after last time.”

“You were bouncing.” Jasper stated, that’s what I loved about him he wasn’t much of a small-talk person he usually got straight to the point.

I chuckled remembering the last time we’d had a guys night out. We were all drunk but Emmett was drunk enough to fall asleep on the front lawn of our parents house where we all stayed while they were away on vacation.

Rose didn’t no he was there and had been worried sick when she thought he hadn’t come home that night, She wasn’t best pleased with me and Jasper either for letting him get so drunk. When I told her he was a grown man and capable of deciding how much to drink I earned myself a week of silence from both her and Alice. That would have been acceptable to me except my mother found out that they weren’t talking to me so she called and lectured me for over an hour about how upset they were with me for not thinking about the consequences of drinking so irresponsibly and how I should have considered how Rose felt. I new I was being a dick but I didn’t care we’d had a great night. I then made the mistake of pointing out that the girls weren’t responsible when it came to alcohol either, apparently they hadn’t told my mother about the time they decided it would be fun to go to a biker bar in the middle of nowhere whilst drunk on vacation. We spent an 2 hours driving to rescue them, my girlfriend at the time Tanya had been with them, I suspected the biker bar was her idea but no one would admit it.

After downing 5 beers I noticed Jasper had hardly drunk anything and wondered if something was on his mind but now wasn’t the time to bring it up so I made a mental note to take him to lunch tomorrow.

Another 2 beers latter Emmett decided it was time for shots as I was now too drunk to protest, I instead ordered doubles.

I felt too unsteady and a little bit nauseous to have anymore but that didn’t slow Emmett down, another two double shots later Jasper had decided we’d had enough and that it was probably better if we all crashed at his.

When we pulled into Jasper's drive I was surprised to see Bella’s car parked in front of us.

“Jasper why the fuck is Be...Bella’s car here?”

Jasper chuckled slightly at my incoherency although I was starting to sober up abit and was now able to form sentences much better than before we left the bar.

“They had a girl’s night Alice said it was easier for them to all come back here as they ended the night closer to our house than to Bella and Rose's apartment's.” Great dealing with Bella whilst drunk or hung-over will be fun I thought to myself.

“Bella was drink driving!?” I shouted, abit too loud to say I was standing in the drive way at 2.30 in the morning but hey.

“No of course not Alice drove them home.”

“Alice was drink driving!?”

“No! No one was drink driving Edward Alice is sober.” Jasper was looking at me like I’m some sort of idiot.

Drinking cocktails and shots never ended well but it was always fun at the time I hoped tonight would be no different. I wanted to focus on something else and if that meant focusing on being a drunken idiot then so be it.

Alice drove my car to the bar as I’d already helped myself to a glass of wine when I got home from work not to mention doesn’t trust my driving skills even when I haven’t had alcohol, though I don’t know why I’ve been driving since I was 15 and was taught by a police chief for heaven’s sake.

We went from bar to bar drinking cocktails and dancing I hadn’t noticed the pain in my foot anymore even in heels the drinking distraction was working a treat.

At 2 in the morning we started to head on when Rose began to throw up in a nearby bush reminding me of my own self induced nausea.

“Why don’t we go get the car and I’ll take us back to mine you too are more than drunk and my place is closer.” Alice suggested in her usual high pitched happy voice.

“Wait how can we get Th...The car we’ve all been drinking those deeelicious cocktails I wonder if I could make some more when we get back all I’ll need is...” I began trailing off into my own thoughts when it suddenly hit me.

“Alice why do you seem com...Compleet...completely sober?” Even Rose stopped heaving to giggle at my lack of ability to pronounce the word completely but I didn’t care.

“I had none alcoholic cocktails, someone had to take care of you two.” She shrugged and released Roses hair setting her upright as we walked or stumbled as it looked to passersby towards where we had left the car.

When we arrived back at Alice and Jasper's I remembered my earlier thoughts of re-enacting the cocktails we enjoyed tonight and began raiding Alice’s kitchen while she took a very sick Rose to bed.
