Author's Note: This story picks up right before Twilight's epilogue. Bella isn't an only child. Emmett is her older brother by two years. Rosalie and Jasper are twins, and Esme's niece and nephew. Alice and Edward are Carlisle and Esme's kids. Edward and Bella, and Jasper and Alice still date. Emmett and Rosalie are exes, Emmett doesn't know the secret, and Bella tends to keep it that way. Jasper, Alice, Edward, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme are all vampires. Bella and Emmett are not.
~Junior Year PROM NIGHT~
Three-thirty. The dismissal bell just rang. I'm free from P.E. Edward met me at the gym. He gave Alice the key to the Volvo. He was riding with me.
"Hello Mr. Chivalrous," I greeted him as I tossed my keys to him.
"Now I feel bad about to tell you this," he said opening the door. I got in.
"What?" I asked.
"Well, you can't say I never listen to you anymore," he replied pulling out his wallet.
"Something for after prom."
"I'm still not happy your ma-" I just stopped talking when I saw the pass key to the hotel room. I gasped. "Does this mean-?"
"I'm not sure yet," he cut me off. "Probably." It all started to sink in then. Suddenly prom didn't seem so bad. I started hyperventilating.
"Bella!"
"I'm fine," I said. Mike Newton knocked on my window. I rolled it down.
"I saw you were having trouble breathing, are you all right?" Mike asked eyeing Edward.
"I'm fine, the air was just really thick in here," I replied. That was the most terrible sounding lie I'd ever come up with.
"Umm…Okay," he said walking away. I rolled my window back up. Edward turned the key and we drove to Charlie's house.

Edward started to make himself comfortable on my bed, and then set me in his lap.
"Isabella," he whispered softly into my ear. "If you don't feel comfortable using the pass key tonight, tell me."
"NO! You don't know how much I want this." I replied.
We sat in silence for a moment while I ruffled his hair, and he started messing with my earlobe. Then I realized something. "Won't my dad be a little concerned when I don't come home tonight?"
"I have this worked out," Edward replied. "Alice asked your dad if you could spend the weekend with her."
"Oh my gosh! Alice knows!" My stomach just started to hurt.
"No, No, No. I suggested she ask Charlie if you could stay the night with her for the weekend, and I would ask you for her. After she asked Charlie and he said yes, I said that you had a paper due, that you really needed to start it, so Charlie and Alice have no clue. I even made Alice promise NOT to search for your future. She's suspicious, but she promised and she's not."
"The weekend?" I asked
"The room is reserved from tonight until Monday morning." he informed me.
"Oh," I said surprised. We went back to silence.
About five minutes later the door slammed.
"Emmett's home," Edward whispered.
"I'll be right back," I said. I ran downstairs, to my older brother. His class at the community college usually didn't end for five more minutes.
"Oh, hey Emmett." I tried to sound surprised as if I didn't hear him come in.
"Hey Bells,"
"I won't be home tonight for dinner, will you be able to make stuff for you and Dad?" I asked.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm going to dinner with Edward at five, prom at seven, and spending the night with Alice when Prom ends at eleven." I replied. Well, all that was true, if you replaced the name Alice with Edward.
"Sure," he said. "You're going to prom?"
"Yes," I answered. See, even my brother knew I wasn't the kind to go to prom.
"Sit down," He requested. I sat on the couch as he sat in Charlie's favorite chair.
"Bella, you and Edward are hmm…involved…aren't you.
"What?" I asked.
"You and Edward have been sleeping together haven't you?"
"That's not your business is it Emmett?"
"I'm your big brother. Everything is my business." I scowled at his remark.
"Come on. When Rosalie and I were together, we…got physical a few times."
"Oh my gosh!" I replied. "That was too much information. And to answer your question, NO! We haven't…got intimate."
"So, no?" Emmett asked trying to be certain.
"No." I answered. "Well, I think I'm going to go…throw up or something.
I went straight upstairs. Edward looked deep in thought. "So, I guess you heard all of that?"
"Yeah, maybe we shouldn't do this."
"NO! I need this." I replied, sitting in his lap looking up into his gorgeous topaz eyes. I really, really need this."
"Okay," he said kissing my neck. "But remember, it wasn't a definite yes before your conversation with Emmett.
"Pleeease?" I asked using the puppy eyes.
"Oh you know I can't resist that." He replied kissing me on my lips. We sat like this for an hour. "Well, you ready to go?" Edward asked.
"Yes. Let me just get my jacket."
"I'll be back in about five minutes with the Aston Martin."
"Oh not the special occasion car." I bellowed, but it was too late. He was out my window.

The waitress was asking us for our order. "I'll have the spaghetti," I said. It looked like the least expensive thing on the menu. I was going to beg Edward not to pay, but I knew I would loose. Surprisingly, Edward ordered a salad and a water. He'd probably just offer it to me after he took a bite and pretended he just didn't like it to keep up appearance.
I was right. He offered me the salad after three bites, but I took the water, after I ran out of my soda. We left at six-twenty.
