…CHAPTER 2: WOOF!…

BPOV

After school had finally ended, Alice and I went to my house. I'd preferred to go to their house to see how Edward was doing, but Alice told me to give him some time to smooth things over. "Do you have any plans for this evening Bella?" Alice asked me. I snorted. As if she didn't know already. "Homework, making dinner for Charlie, shower and sitting in my bedroom with Edward till he's forced to hit me unconscious."

Alice rolled her eyes. "First. Edward would never actually hit you. Second. Before you ask.. no I don't know what's going on with Edward, I wish I did, but honestly Bella, he'll be fine." She reassured me "You're changing into an Edward yourself, always worrying." She joked. I laughed bitterly, this wasn't something I considered to be funny. This was Edward we were talking about … my Edward.

If huffed. Call it instinct, but I was getting the feeling something unusual was happening to my Edward. Something not even Alice would or could see coming… I sincerely hoped I was wrong.

Taking Bella's advise, I ran home towards Esme as fast as I could. The moment I walked into the garden Esme ran from the kitchen to me, wondering what I was doing home at this hour of the day. "Edward" Esme called "sweetheart, why are you home at this hour of the day? And where is Bella?" she asked me, worried like the over-protective mother she was to me.

"There's nothing wrong with Bella, I just wanted to talk to you and ask you some things." I responded awkwardly. Normally, when I wanted to have a conversation with Carlisle we were in his study. A room I unconditionally started to trust and felt comfortable, right now we stood in the middle of a garden…Outside.

The moment I noticed, Esme noticed our environment as well. "Let's sit down first, that's more comfortable than standing isn't it."

It wasn't a question, just a statement. I sighed and bowed my head, I wasn't exactly in a good mood right now… weird. I hadn't felt this way in a while. As we sat down Esme turned to me immediately and began to ask me right away: "What's bothering you?" I huffed again. "I don't really know what's bothering me, that's the point Esme. All I know is that suddenly my day is ruined by my bad mood which I didn't had for a while… and other stuff." I whispered the last part.

Esme patted my shoulder and gave me an understanding look "I know it's a big change the feeling Love gives you and other feelings which come along. It's perfectly normal to be jealous of other people. Just remember that Bella loves you and no one else." As heart beating sweet Esme's speech was, this wasn't the answer I was looking for.

"No Esme. It's not jealousy I'm feeling right now. It's not even a mental feeling for the biggest part actually." Esme grabbed my hand and kept holding it. A gesture that she was here for me whatever happened. "Then please explain it to me dear."

"In the morning everything was normal as always. It actually all started when we got an assignment during biology. We had to investigate the differences in DNA and frankly enough Bella and I got dog DNA." That doesn't really help the Jacob situation, does it. Esme thought. "No not really. So anyway we received the dog DNA. Everything worked and we managed to finish the assignment just fine."

"I went to get Mr. Banner so he could check everything. The moment I returned Bella stumbled and let go of the dog DNA, letting it fly through the air and drop all over me." I shuddered at the remembrance of the slimy texture on my thong.

"Mr. Banner let me excuse myself to the bathroom to remove it, but it literally stuck on my face till it got absorbed into my skin... I know it sounds weird." A said, responding to Esme's expression. "After that everything went back to the normal routine, till Bella and I shared a private moment."

"Edward, honey. I know that you don't like telling me or anyone else for the matter about you.. 'intimate' life with Bella, but with a case like this you have to tell me." I groaned "Ok, ok.. the moment we kissed my backbone began to twitch and I started to purr.. but not in the way you think I did" I continued hurriedly.

"So you weren't purring becau-" "No I wasn't. After that Bella told me to go to you." "Edward" Esme thought "I'm not sure what's happening to you.. I do know there's a chance that the purring is because of the physical attraction between you and Bella, and before you interrupt, I know there is a lot of attraction between the two of you."

She continued before I had a chance to interrupt.

"For the irritation-part. I think that's just because you got a bowl of dog stench chemicals all over you.. to say it in an inappropriate way, it hit you squired in the face. The only thing that's a mystery to me is how the chemical disappeared."

I nodded. Of course we had no answer to 'The Curious Case of Dog Deoxyribonucleic Acid' I bet even the Volturi didn't know what to do with it. But I was glad I had a couple of answers.. or rather suggestions to figure it out.

I gave Esme a hug "Thanks mom" I told her and left the house, of to Bella's. "You're welcome, have fun with Bella." I groaned. I mean I love Esme, but right now she was invading something personal, how ecstatic she might still be about me finding my mate.

I took a deep breath and tried to push today's events behind me, how un-Edwardian that might be, it was for the best. So there I went, running towards the love of my existence, each step bringing me closer to my life. My destiny.

After Alice left there was nothing to do but wait. I'd already done the laundry and we had enough food left over from yesterday. Luckily Alice told me I wouldn't have to wait long before he arrived so I took that opportunity to shower and wash my hair in the process, trying as hard as I could not to think about Edward waiting in my room so I would dry my hair properly.. otherwise I would have a Coup-le-Edward in the morning.

As soon as I was finished I rushed to my room, hoping Edward was already there…. And he was.

"Hello Love" he greeted, his velvet voice made me melt. Before I could take a step closer to him he'd already ran towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I missed you" he whispered in my ear. I shuddered "I missed you to, school sucks without you." He laughed "I bet it did." "Edward? What did Esme tell you?" I wondered.

He smiled my favorite smile "to make a long story short; Esme thinks we're getting at a new base of our relationship.. she wishes us the best." I blushed tomato-red. Didn't see that coming.

"Bella" Edward groaned "Don't be embarrassed, we'll figure it out." He breathed those last words and brought his lips closer to mine. Our lips met and turned into a searing kiss, his grip tightened around my waist and my hand began to wander through his hair. Our breathing turned heavier and our kiss turned more passionate. Edward's back began to shiver again and my hands got a mind of their own and started to travel across Edward's jaw line.. and then I pulled away.

Edward, with his lips still parted, was surprised to say at least. "Is there something wrong? Did I hurt you? Did I went too far?" he questioned me rapidly, his eyes filled with worry. "No, no Edward. That's not it." I stroked his jaw again "Do you feel it.. your jaw. It feels stubble"

Edward felt his jaw. "I better go to Carlisle later tonight. To figure out what's really happening" I nodded and went to my bed. Edward pulled the covers around me like a cocoon and lay beside me as usual. He gave me a short peck on my lips "Sleep my love" he said and began to hum my lullaby. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep…

I sighed and looked at my love's face. She looked so peaceful when she slept, it made me want to be able to sleep as well. I sighed and left her bed planning to go to Carlisle when I began to feel very dizzy.

I felt myself wobbling from feet to feet, trying to keep balanced. But unfortunately I felt myself beginning to fall down.

I didn't even feel myself hitting the floor…

I woke up early the next day and turned around to catch some more sleep when I felt a different type of fabric against the covers. I looked around and noticed the end of a denim jeans against my bed.

I set up straight and pulled the jeans up so I could take a better look at it. It was way too big to be mine and far too new to be one of Charlie's, so it had to be one of Edward, but that couldn't be. I became alert when I heard a shuffling noise close by. I carefully looked over the edge of my bed and noticed.. Edward's t-shirt laying around.

How could this be, I must still be dreaming, but then something moved under his shirt. A little round thing. I took Edward's shirt between two fingers and quickly pulled I away. To say

I was shocked was an understatement.

On the ground next to me was a bronze-brown colored puppy, watching me with two curious eyes

"woof!"
