BPOV

It had been rare that i had to endure the company of Edward Cullen in the year since we met but since I moved back to forks last month to be closer to my dad Charlie it would be something I’d have to get used to.

“Bella can you and Edward please try to get along tonight we haven’t all had a night together since thanksgiving.”

“Rose I know what tonight means to you so you might want to try telling Edward, he’s the one who acts like a dick for no reason.”

“Emmet’s already spoken to Edward and I said id speak to you.” I rolled my eyes at Rose and headed outside to wait for everyone.

Once Alice and Jasper arrived Emmet lit the barbeque (yes we were having a rare sunny day and making the most of it) we all drank a few beers and talked about Alice’s latest fashion project i was enjoying spending time with the people I love until Edward walked in. Edward and I had not got along since we met a year ago when Rosalie introduced me to the rest of the Cullen’s at their yearly independence day party, Rose and Emmett had been together about 2 years by then but with me away at college I had only had the chance to meet Emmett who quickly became a big brother to me. Edward was polite at first even flirted a little just as Rose had told me he would, that that was just his cocky nature until my boyfriend Jake showed up and he went from being cocky to the biggest jerk I’ve ever known.

As Rose had asked for us to get a long I gave a polite hello to Edward hoping to show we could be civil to one another but from the evil glare he gave me I knew it would be a long evening.

“So Bella how’s your work at the publishers going.” Alice asked noticing the tense glare Edward was still giving me as he sipped at his beer.

“Really well I think, everyone’s really nice and I get to work from home when I need to so I get more time to spend with Charlie and Jake .”

I heard Edward smirk under his breath although I don’t think he intended me too.

“What Edward what the fuck’s your problem this time?” I asked whilst heading to the fridge to take out another beer.

“Nothing I just find it amusing how you stay 'friends' with Jake when he obviously isn’t very good at keeping you satisfied I mean just admit he’s not a good fuck already.”

I was used to Edwards’s comments about my relationship with Jake, Jake and I have been friends since we were kids we dated for about 6months until we both agreed that although we loved each other we weren’t in love and went back to being best friends. But I wasn’t used to him talking about my sex life with Jake in shock I dropped the beer bottle in my hand, as if going in slow motion I saw it hitting the tiled floor and shattering sending a small shard of glass into my bare foot.

“Ahh! Shit.” I shouted.

As I winced from the pain of the glass in my foot I noticed the blood dripping on the floor and began to feel nauseous.

“I think Bella needs to go to the ER there’s a err lot a blood.” Emmet said trying to hide his panic, he would never admit it but everyone knew the sight of blood made Emmet sick although unlike me he had never passed out from it.

“No we don’t Emmet Edward can just take a look.” Alice said calmly knowing that to me the hospital meant needles and therefore I would not go quietly.

I looked over at Edward as he glared at Alice who glared right back at him before he stood up mouthing ‘ah fuck’ his face also showing his annoyance. As much as I hated going to the hospital I was sure Edward playing doctor to me would be just as bad.

“Its fine, I’ll be fine, it’s nothing you can go back to your beer.” I mumbled.

“Shut the fuck up Bella and give me your foot.” his tone was aggressive and from the way he snatched my foot as I hopped up onto the counter, I expected a tight painful grip but It wasn’t his hands were soft and light on my skin and for a second I forgot about the pain from the glass and the smell of blood. This was the first time Edward Cullen had ever touched me and electricity pulsed through my body as his hands gently held me.

“Is my little B gunna need stitches?” Emmet asked still sounding panicky although Jasper seemed to be doing a good job at keeping him calm.

“What no!” I said starting to panic myself, just as I was starting to feel nauseous again I heard Edward give a small chuckle which interrupted my thoughts.

“No I don’t think so it’s not a deep or large cut so I’ll just need to remove the glass, Alice could you get my medical kit and the antiseptic you keep in the bathroom that contains anesthetic? “

“Bella did you hear me I said this is going to sting a little, turn your head away from the blood.”

Snapping out of my thoughts once again, I nodded and turned my head to the side so I couldn’t see what he was doing.

“OW! You weren’t kidding when you said it was going to sting.” I whimpered.

“Nope sorry. Now hold fucking still I can’t clean and bandage your foot when you’re squirming.”

“I can’t help it, it hurts more when you touch it!” I snapped irritated from the pain.

Instead of saying anything else he just looked at me with his piercing green eyes.

“Maybe next time you won’t be such a fucking klutz.” Just like that the gentle Dr Cullen had gone and the dick Edward was back.

“Fuck you” I whispered back hoping the others didn’t hear me.

EPOV

Fuck why I am always such a prick to her? I felt slightly guilty because if it wasn’t for my comment on Jake she wouldn’t have dropped the beer bottle. That made me think about her and Jake being together the way he held her and touched her, I got mad again telling her not to be such a fucking klutz in the process. I hadn’t meant it actually I find her clumsiness rather cute.

Bella hopped over to the couch opposite me trying not to put weight on her sore foot while we waited for Emmet and Rosalie to come tell us what ever shit they had to tell us.

“Okay so you no how me and rose have been trying to have kids, well we…” Emmet started as he sat on the arm of the chair rose was in resting his arm on her shoulder.

“Oh my god are you pregnant?“ Alice asked excitedly jumping up and down in her seat before he could finish. “This is so awesome we have to go shopping we can get you some maternity clothes and make sure we have everything your going to need for the baby and then we can decorate the nursery oh and baby proof this place you two are always leaving the door open to the basement.”

I knew what Emmett was going to say, I knew after the surgery she’d had after what the bastard Royce King had done to her a few years ago that one day they might be told bad news but the others weren’t doctors so they didn’t. Everyone must have noticed the sad look in Rose and Emmett's eyes though except for Alice who was rambling on without even taking time to breathe because we all shouted at her at the same time.

“What? Was I doing that thing where i forget to breathe again? Jazzy why didn’t you just say.”

“Er yes you were… I think you should let Em finish before you get excited darlin’.” Jasper replied.

“ Oh okay sorry Em please continue.”

“It’s ok Al it’s just well…”

“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.
