Surviving the Teenage Dream

Lunch, Security Guards and the City of Angels

They survived falling in love and having four (count 'em, FOUR) children. Now, Geekward and Nerdella are parents of teenagers. Say a prayer for them for they are in for a bumpy ride. Kyra is being a brat, displaying actions akin to her uncle who is nearing the end of his life on death row. Owen is a geek, like his dad. Then there is Mia and Masen, the twins. They're still cute and adorable. Well, as cute and adorable as twelve year olds can be.

Let's not forget Alice, Jasper, Adam, and Gianna (the Whitlocks), Justin, Alex and Demetri (the Volturis), Esme and Marcus (the Volturis), Tim, Rose, Ava and Lucas (the Napletons) and our antagonist, Jacob Black. Emmett will also make a brief appearance in this story, too. But he's not causing drama. His final goodbye, as it were.

Up next will be another Bella chapter. We'll get through the lunch with Tim (some possible drama while out with Tim); the introduction of Steve, Ricky's son (Ricky is one of the body guards from The Geek's Guide to Parenthood); and the first couple of days in LA with Rose for the meeting for her books to be made into a movie. We also may see some lemony goodness, too. Skype sex anyone? LOL!

Chapter Four: Lunch, Security Guards and the City of Angels

"Edward, you don't have to go with me to lunch with Tim," I chided. My neurotic husband was dancing nervously, wringing his hands while I got dressed for my lunch meeting for some foundation business. "You're supposed to meet with Jasper and Demetri for your quarterly report for the third quarter. Go to work, angel."

"But, Bella," Edward whined. "There's a psycho mongoloid on the loose and he could really hurt you."

"I'm going to be with Tim who is just as big as you, if not bigger," I mocked back. "Besides, couldn't you just track him using his cell phone at the office?"

"Only if the cell phone's on," Edward grumbled. "It's been off since he called. Or he got a new one. My guess is the latter. Fucking Jacob."

I teetered to him in my heels, smushing his cheeks together. "Edward, I will be fine," I said. He looked silly with his face all scrunched up by my hands. I giggled.

"Fissht idn't thunny, Thedda," he said against my hands.

"I'm sorry, what was that? I don't speak mush-mouth," I snorted, releasing his face.

He took my hands, giving me a stern look. It was his 'disapproving-dad' stare. "I said that it wasn't funny. This is serious! Have you seen a picture of your ex-boyfriend? He's a crazed, steroid-filled, emotionless monster with muscles on top of muscles and some fucking ugly facial hair. He could squash you like a bug, gorgeous. His hand could wrap around your teeny waist and he'd split you in two."

"First off, my waist ain't teeny. Having four children prevents my waist from ever being teeny," I said, arching my brow at him. "Secondly, I'll carry my handy-dandy can of Mace, my baton and rape whistle. Finally, need I remind you that, um, I'm going to be with Tim! Tall guy, has muscles of his own and is a few years younger than you Cullen."

"You wound me, Bella," he pouted. "I work out every day. Yes, my body isn't as fit as it was but I can still kick some ass. Just ask Jasper or Demetri."

"Angel, you and I both know that you are the hottest guy who is almost fifty, ever," I said, tangling my fingers into his thick, bronze/gray hair.

"Must you remind me that I'm getting close to the half-century mark," Edward growled. "I don't feel old. Yes, I may have gray-ish hair, but I'm not old."

"Sure, you geezer," I snickered.

"Ugh! You suck, Bella," he snarled, giving me a playful scowl. With a heavy sigh, he took my face in his large hands. "Please,please, please make sure that your cell phone is on at all times and don't go anywhere without Tim. I can't wait until you have someone with you permanently."
