It had been a long day of hunting. The Cullen family had just returned home at last. For 7 hrs, Bella had sat in Edward's room, listening to music, staring out into the forest and breathing in his scent. And she did this alone.

"We're home, Love!" Edward announced to Bella.

'Finally.' She thought.

Bella ran down, amazingly only tripping once. Someone offered her a hand to help her up. Bella was about to grab the hand when she realized that it wasn't Edward.

It was Jasper. And he scared Bella. Ever since the birthday incident, she'd been terrified of him. She leapt to her feet and Edward moved her onto his lap.

"Jasper wouldn't hurt you." Alice said as an offended Jasper stomped off upstairs.

Alice looked at Bella and frowned. "What are you wearing?" Rags or clothes?" Alice exclaimed, almost outraged.

"Last time I checked, clothes." Bella said sarcastically.

"I'm sure that would be different if you and Edward were alone." Emmett snuck in suggestively.

Bella blushed and Edward nodded to Rosalie. She clapped a hand over Emmett's mouth.

"Bite me and die." She hissed as Emmett tried to open his mouth.

Upstairs, Jasper was laughing at the conversation he wasn't part of. Alice rolled her liquid gold eyes, "Guess what Bella! We're going shopping!" Then, she walked, rather danced, up the stairs.
