Disclaimer: Yes, I know Stepenie Meyers owns twilight and all it's characters. Yes I know I have no right to make any money from this story. And with all that knowledge I die a little inside.

There is two weeks until graduation, but Bella gets sick. Can she deal with an over-anxious vampire fiancé. Can Edward deal with facing one of his worst fears.

Okay, yeah, I know, the summary sucked but here's how it's going to go down. This is somewhere between New Moon and somewhere in Eclispe. Basically there is two weeks left to graduation. Bella and Jacob are still friends and Edward does trust him. In this story, Jacob has tried to kiss Bella yet so they are on good terms.

Bella POV

I woke up to the shadowed sunlight streaming through the open window and the cool feel of Edward holding me through the comforter. His arms were wrapped possessively around my stomach and I could hear his gentle but unnecessary breathing in my ear.

I took a deep breath and sighed at the new morning awaiting us. "Mornin'." I mumbled and turned so I could lay my head on his stone chest.

"Good morning." he said. He looked down at me and lifted his hand to brush a stray of hair from my face. "Come on. Time to get up. I let you sleep in far too late." He pulled me out of bed against my will and crushed me tight to his chest, his stone body not giving a centimeter. He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine. I should know better by now to try and control my reactions, but when his lips touch mine, it's like an out of body experience and I just want more and more. I crushed my mouth to his and wrapped my arms around his neck, while pushing my body against his so tightly a piece of paper couldn't have fit between us.

As always it ended too soon. Edward broke my hold on his neck gently and extracted his lips from mine with a chuckle. I stared up at him, trying to catch my breath. He gave me one of his crooked smiles and I tried my best to scowl at him. "You know," I paused breathing hard. "One day I'm going to rid you of that pesky self control."

"I know," he lowered his head until our foreheads were touching each other, our noses brushed each other briefly. "I just hope you know what you're getting into." he moved his lips past my own, trailing butterfly kisses down my jaw to my neck and rested on the pulse point at the base of my throat. There he settled for deeply inhaling the scent of my blood pounding through the vein just below the surface of my skin. The scent of my blood, so much sweeter then any other humans, was the cause of so much temptation between us.

"I need a human moment." I said. I felt him nod as he lifted his eyes to mine. I nearly gasped. "When was the last time you went hunting?" I asked. His eyes were so dark they were nearly black.

"Two weeks ago. Emmett, Jasper, and I are going to go feed this weekend."

"What about the rest of the family?" I asked as I grabbed some clothes and a towel for the shower.

"Carlisle has to work and the girls are going to be keeping an eye on you." I rolled my eyes at his insinuation that I always needed protection, but after I thought on it, he was right to have someone keeping track on me."

"I could go down and spend the weekend in La Push. I'll be safe there." I suggested. I hadn't seen or heard from Jacob in weeks. "Come on," I pleaded. "I know, if I stay at your house Alice is going to drag me out to go shopping." a shudder passed through me body. I looked into his eyes and batted my eyelashes trying to "dazzle" him. This rarely worked.

"I'll think about it if you get going. We're going to be late for school." he nudged me toward the door.

I sped through my morning ritual: shower, hair, teeth, and was done in a little over 15 minutes . I rushed down the stairs, amazingly without tripping or falling, to find that Edward was taking some bread out of the toaster while he was on his cell phone.

"Is everyone okay?" he asked the person on the other end. "Um hmm. Okay, I understand. I'll see you in a few days." he hung up the phone and slipped it into his pocket. "You want butter and jelly or just jelly?" he asked over his shoulder.

"Both please." I said . "What happened?" he handed me the finished toast as I grabbed a glass of orange juice.

"Alice and Jasper had to go to school early this morning to hand in some papers." he hopped up onto the counter across from me and sat staring at me. "They were walking out of the parking lot when some girl fell and cut her leg open." he stopped as I ceased chewing. Jasper was the newest in terms of the Cullen's lifestyle. He had the most trouble sticking to their all-animal diet. Last year, during her birthday party she had given herself a paper cut and he had nearly attacked, would have if not for Edward protecting her.

I swallowed my mouthful of food. "Did he hurt anyone?" he shook his head.



"No. Alice shoved him in the car before he could do anything. She thought it was best to take him away for a little bit. They're heading up to Alaska right now." he looked down. "I guess. . . you can go down and see the pack this weekend." I smiled, just about to thank him. He cut of my appreciation. "However, you will always have this on you." he handed me a small silver cell phone. "You will not stay down there past dark, and you will come and stay the night here with Carlisle, Esme, and Roselie. Alice is already calling Charlie giving him the excuse that she's having a huge sleep over party this weekend." My smile vanished and my expression became serious.

"Fine." I stated. He started to move toward the door. "But I have my rules too." he stopped, looking at me with an amused expression. "Number 1, no makeovers, manicures, pedicures, or facials. Make sure she knows this. Second," I let my tone soften as I walked up to him and put my arms around his waist. "Come home quickly." I whispered as I snuggled into his stone chest.

He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tighter to him as he kissed the top of my head.

"I will." he promised.

Edward was speeding like always to school while I was calling Jacob to let him know I was coming down this weekend. I got the message machine, probably missed him going to school this morning. "Hey Jake, just letting you know I was thinking of coming down and seeing everybody this weekend. Give me a call when you get this message." As I hung up the phone I looked over and saw Edward wasn't watching the road. He was watching me. As I started to ask him what was wrong something hit the windshield with enough force to make me jump.

"What did we hit?" I asked as he pulled over to the side of the road without ever losing control or swerving an inch. I got out before we came to a stop and starting trudging up the side of the road in the light drizzle.

"Bella, wait." I didn't have to wait at all for him to catch up to me. He was there within half a second. He looked forward. "Love, I don't think you want to see what's up there." he looked worriedly at my face. I'm sure I was paler then usual but my resolve was set. If there was any chance that the thing we hit could be helped I would take it. About 100 feet beyond the stopped car I saw it. There, on the side of the road, lay a small black bird, probably a raven or crow. I could see which side had hit the car. The entire right side of its body had been crushed and bloodied. The bones of the wings stuck out at odd angles. I leaned down and picked it up carefully. It's entire body shook and I felt Edward put his hand gently on my shoulder. The bird took its last breath and its body shuddered for the final time. I looked down and sympathy. It wasn't the first time I had seen road kill, in fact I had accidentally killed many animals with my truck as they had scurried across the road. I always hated when these things happened. I always feel guilty.

Edward took the bird from my stunned hands and leant down in the grass. He continued to dig a shallow grave and buried the bird along side of the road. I watched him without moving. When he was done he came back and hugged me to him tightly. He might not be able to read my mind, but he still knew me better than anyone else on this earth. He pulled away and tugged me gently back towards the car. He whispered that we were going to be late and I nodded and got into the car. As he sped towards school I couldn't help but think back on my own mortal situation.

Okay so I know it is soooo short but I have limited access to internet and I wanted to get something down so I wouldn't keep putting it off.
