Here's the sequel to "Before the Wedding", even though reading the other story first is unnecessary, I really hope I didn't let anyone down…..please pretty please with sugar on top read and review it and tell me if I should continue with this story and what you think of it!!!! Hope its up to standards, I wasn't sure how to start the story but I think it turned out decent, and that it'll get better from here….if its liked, I'll update soon =)
Edward's point of view:
As I sat in my car, waiting to go to the mall, I realized how lucky I was, the last five years with my wife have been absolutely blissful and tomorrow was going to be perfect, I had a special evening planned out for our 5 year anniversary and I was going to mall to pick up my present for her, Alice, Bella, and Renesmee were coming along. I have been waiting 20 minutes for them, I was beginning to get anxious.
A few minutes later, Bella walked out the house looking annoyed.
She got into the passenger seat of my car and when I looked into her eyes, I felt totally calm.
"What's wrong, love?" I asked.
She groaned and said, "You would've thought that Alice would stop treating me like her dress up doll after all these years, especially now that she has Renesmee for that."
I chuckled, "This is Alice we're talking about."
She laughed softly, the noise music to my ears and pointed to herself, "Why do I have to get all dressed up for the mall?"
I looked over her outfit, Alice had dressed Bella in a dark blue dress with very high heels with tons of accessories.
"Well, it is a bit much but I think you look absolutely perfect." I said as I kissed her softly.
"Where's Alice and Renesmee?" I asked after a few minutes.
"When I left, Alice was finishing Renesmee's makeup." Bella said, obviously irritated.
"Why does she need makeup? She's only 5 years old." I asked, slightly angry.
Bella sighed and replied, "You know she doesn't act or look 5 years old."
I knew that, but I didn't want to think about how my baby girl was growing up so fast. She looked about 13 and acted much older than that.
Bella must've saw the sad look that appeared on my face because she put down her shield and I saw she thought the same thing.
I smiled softly and reached out to hold her hand, I was still ecstatic that Bella had learned how to let me read her mind, it was absolutely amazing.
After a few more minutes of waiting, Alice and Renesmee came walking out the front door.
They got into the car and I said, "It doesn't take that long to get ready."
Alice laughed and said, "You can't rush perfection."
Bella and I rolled our eyes and Renesmee asked, "Can I go down to La Push? I don't want to go to the mall again."
I saw Bella bite her lip for a second before saying, "Sure."
I squeezed her hand as I pulled out onto the road.
I felt the same way, we knew that Jacob would take care of Renesmee but it was hard to accept that he had imprinted on her after everything that happened.
A few minutes later, we reached the boundary line of La Push, Renesmee was the only one allowed across, unless it was an emergency.
After Renesmee got out of the car and we all said our goodbye's we headed towards the mall.
When we reached the mall, Alice grabbed Bella and said happily, "I'm taking her to buy some clothes, because she still doesn't know what to buy. We'll meet up with you later."
Alice was going to distract Bella for me so the gift could be a surprise.
"It's only for a little while, love." I said softly as I kissed her passionately.
Alice grabbed her arm and started off towards the mall.
I don't know how long I can keep her busy, you better hurry up. Alice thought.
I went into the mall and down a hallway until I reached the jewelry store.
I had already ordered the beautiful engraved heart locket for Bella.
So I walked up to the counter and a saleswoman asked, "How may I help you?"
"I'm here to pick up a necklace." I said quickly, wanting to meet up with my Bella.
"Okay, what's the name?" She asked, never taking her eyes off of me.
"Cullen." I replied.
"Let me get that for you." She said as she quickly ran off to the back room.
"Here you go, Would you like a bag?" She said as she handed me the locket.
"No, thank you." I said, knowing if I came out with a bag Bella would see it.
I saw that the saleswoman was about to give me her number so I quickly said, "I bought this for my wife, tomorrow is our anniversary."
She just smiled and said, "I'm sure she'll love it." Even though her thoughts were the completely opposite.
I nodded and quickly walked out of the store with the locket in my pocket.
As I turned the corner I heard a woman's voice say, "Edward Cullen?"
I turned around to see a pregnant Jessica Stanley holding hands with Mike Newton.
