“Oh I’m fine Edward, stop worrying; I was just out with umm…” I racked my brain for an excuse “with Angela, we were shopping.” I knew how false that sounded but Edward didn’t seem to notice as a small smile formed on his perfect face and before I knew it I was in his arms again. I relaxed a little in his arms resting my weight on him and yawned I suddenly felt completely exhausted.

“What’s in the bag?” he asked casually though I could hear the curiosity in his voice, he wanted to know what had been so important to keep me away so long. As he tried to gently pry it away from the clasped fingers I quickly pulled away from his hands and blushed looking up at him guiltily.

“Oh it’s… just some stuff I picked up today” It wasn’t a lie but I still felt bad for not telling the whole truth.

He pulled me upright again laughing a little and giving me a crooked smile that made my heart melt.

“Ok, now go upstairs and sleep, you look exhausted!” He said pushing me gently towards the stairs, I was glad to have an excuse to go upstairs.

“I guess this is goodnight then” I said weakly turning to get one final look at my prince charming.

“Good night Bella, I love you” The words hung in the air and I was struck by a stabbing sense of again guilt, I ran up the stairs towards the bathroom feeling pathetic.

I had almost made it into the bathroom when I was blocked by Alice. Her pixie features where turned into a concerned frown as she looked up at me, something was on her mind. I sighed internally, almost irritated; I had enough to worry about!

“Bella, your bladder can wait a sec, we need to talk; there’s a bit of a” she struggled to find the right word, “problem.”

I gulped, how did she know, had she seen me in a vision at the shop? I nodded signalling her to continue gripping the plastic bag tighter.

“Now remember don’t tell Edward because you know how he has a tendency to overreact” I nodded again dumbly, not trusting my voice. After her quick warning she went straight to the point.
