A/N I don't own Twilight….sad I know but its just something I gotta live with everyday.
5 Minutes
"Ok you guys have 5 minutes then we are going!" Alice said pointing a finger to both Bella and Edward in turn
Bella stuck her tongue out at Alice as she went to wait in the car. "Ill come back if I have to, don't think I wont" Alice said as she closed the door
Bella turned to look at Edward "Well I guess this is it, the home stretch" she smiled up at him.
"Yes it is" he beamed down at her "You ready to become Mrs. Cullen?"
"More than you can imagine" She whispered as their lips met in a soft sweet kiss.
Resting his forehead on hers and looking into her eyes he said "there's still time to back out"
"Not on your life Cullen!" she whispered and when he raised an eyebrow at her she laughed and added "well you know what I mean"
Edward kissed her nose then her cheek and said "Alice is getting restless you better get out there"
"Ill miss you" she breathed looking at him through her eyelashes pulling her bottom lip into a pout. Edward chuckled as he ran a finger over her bottom lip.
"Ill miss you much more my love" he whispered as he leaned down to lightly suck on her protruding bottom lip.
After a couple of moments of Edward kissing all over her face he backed away a fraction of an inch and said "she really will come in and get you. She's saying I've had my fun now it's her turn"
With a small giggle Bella rested her forehead on his chest and took a deep breath to steady her self….then another deep breath to steady her self again after Edward placed a light kiss on top of her head. "I love you" she smiled as she kissed him one last time.
"As I love you" he smiled as he opened the front door for her.
"That's why I'm marrying you"
He smiled her favorite crooked smile as she stepped out onto the porch. After a moment of her just staring at him he laughed and motioned her forward. With one last look she turned around and headed down the steps to the waiting black Mercedes.
"It's about time!" Rosalie called from the front seat as Bella got into the back with Alice
"Do you know you decided to stay there 4 times while we waited for you? I thought I was going to have to go up there and carry you to the car!" Alice stated as Bella fastened her seat belt.
Esme let out a small giggle from the driver's seat and Bella met her eye in the rear view mirror. The smile in her soon to be mother in law's eyes caused Bella to blush just a bit.
"Sorry I had a hard time pulling myself away"
"You mean you had a hard time pealing your lips off Edward's" Rosalie teased. Bella just grinned in reply causing Alice to laugh and Rosalie to roll her eyes at Bella in the side mirror.
After a few minutes of teasing Alice switched on her "I'm a serious wedding planner" voice and started going over the plans for the following 5 days. It was currently Thursday afternoon and the wedding was Tuesday evening.
"Ok today is relatively light, we check into the hotel get dinner for the human and then go see a movie in Port Angeles" Bella nodded. At fist she thought the fact that they would be staying in a hotel was ridiculous, but then decided that she was just going to go with what Alice had planned and have fun with it. This decision had caused Alice to tackle Bella in a huge hug in the hall way of the Cullen house last week.
This weekend was as much a "Cullen Women Bonding Week" as it was a "bachelorette / wedding errand" week.
"Friday starts off with a late breakfast and a trip to the mall for final outfits for the various events of the weekend. We each need roughly 3 outfits with Bella needing 4. Friday night you have Dinner with Renee and then we have our 'Cullen Women Pre Bachelorette party'party" Bella rolled her eyes but still smiled. Only Alice Cullen could plan so much party that it run over into another party.
"Saturday is all about sleep" Alice continued on "the only necessity that day being the final dress fitting. That evening the fun continues with actual Bachelorette party. Sunday you and your lover boy have a late lunch with your parents and Phil. Then the 2 of you have free time for a few hours until we pull you back for more Cullen women bonding."
Rosalie and Esme were laughing in the front over Alice's detailed plans. Bella wouldn't have been surprised if each day was broken down into 5 minute increments.
"Monday is big because you have a facial and a massage along with a steam and manicure and pedicures for all of us, and a quick hair cut for you…..oh relax Bella I'm just gonna snip away a few split ends. Then that night we have the rehearsal and Esme's dinner with the 2 families and then you turn in early so I don't have dark circles to cover up the next day. Tuesday you sleep in and we get you ready to finally enter officially into the Cullen family."
Bella took a deep breath to let it all sink in.
"You do realize you just spent an entire 15 minutes talking don't you?" Rosalie asked looking at her watch. Bella laughed along with Rosalie and Esme.
Looking over at Alice Bella laughed again as she saw the face Alice was making. Alice had crossed her arms and began pouting. She pulled her sister into a hug "you can wipe that look off your face right this instant" She laughed kissing Alice's temple "It sounds absolutely amazing, thank you for doing all of this Alice. I couldn't ask for a better sister"
Alice beamed at Bella and Rosalie scoffed in the front seat "Not your moment Rose, deal with it" Bella laughed at her other sister's reaction
"Yeah!" Alice added as she hugged Bella and kissed the top of her head. "You are very welcomed sister dearest"
"Oh god are we there yet Esme" Rosalie asked with fake disgusted look on her face "I think if it were possible Id be sick to my stomach"
They all laughed as Esme pulled the car into the only fancy 5 star hotel forks possessed. "You know you are just jealous that Bella loves me more than you Rose" Alice teased still hugging a laughing Bella tightly to her chest.
"Just because you hold on to her like a rag doll doesn't mean she loves you more, Bella and I have a very strong sisterly relationship" Rose laughed.
This was news to Bella, even though Rosalie had stopped being rude to her every chance she got and was even nice every now and then Bella was unaware that they had developed a sisterly relationship. But she was excited that Rosalie was now comfortable enough with her to talk about the possibilities.
"Girls I don't know why you fight over her like that" Esme laughed as they were helped out of the car by the 4 valets that seemed to have appeared as if from no where. "Especially when you both know Bella loves me the most" Esme added pulling Bella to her side as she came around the car.
"That's actually true" Bella agreed as she wrapped her arms around Esme's waist while they walked into the lobby of the hotel. Both Rosalie and Alice wore fake hurt expressions "So sorry my dear sisters but there is a certain love a girl feels for her mom that cant be out shined by any other" Bella said as she kissed Esme on the cheek .
The smile on Esme's face could have lit the entire town of Forks at that moment. "Thank you Bella dear, I love you too" she said kissing her forehead and releasing her as they reached the hotels front desk.
"Ladies ladies ladies" the desk clerk said coming over to greet them "To what do I owe the pleasure of having 4 beautiful women in my lobby?"
"Well … Marcus" Rosalie said looking at his name tag. Esme shot her a look that clearly said "be nice!" and quickly took over.
"We have a reservation under Cullen"
"Ah, yes here we are Cullen. The penthouse suite for 6 nights checking out on Wednesday morning is that correct?" he asked smiling at Esme.
"Yes it is" she replied sweetly
"Ok ill just need a credit card to…oh wow" Marcus added the last part under his breath when Esme handed him her black titanium card. Regaining his composure he continued "ok so the room and any added charges to the room will be placed on this card. Here is what we have so far…" he said sliding a bill towards Esme.
"That won't be necessary" Esme smiled sliding the paper back towards him without even looking at it.
"Well everything seems to be in order let me get the boys to bring all your bags up to your room" He motioned 2 other men over and they quickly took off with all the bags. "So what are 4 lovely ladies such as your selves doing spending the week in a small town like this?" he asked Esme
"We are preparing for a wedding" Alice chimed in
"Oh and who is getting married a family member" He asked Esme again.
"No, she is" Rosalie stated noticeably becoming annoyed with is flirtatious behavior.
"Oh my so young?" he asked looking Bella up and down.
"Yep!" Alice answered eyes wide moving Bella away from the desk as Rosalie grabbed the keys from Marcus and Esme followed quickly behind them hoping they would avoid a scene from Bella.
"Well let me know if you ladies need anything at all" He said clearly confused by their sudden departure.
"Right!" Alice called behind them as the elevator doors closed.
All for of them were quiet for a moment waiting for the out burst of "I told you so's and "I told you everyone would think I was pregnant" from Bella. But instead when Bella opened her mouth a loud laugh came out.
"Did you see how that guy was falling all over Esme? I'm going to have to tell Carlisle!"
"Oh no reason to get him all worked up" Esme stated and they were all sure if she could she would be blushing. "We both know that no one else stands a chance so we don't let the looks bother us. You should see the way the nurses look at him. If I let that bother me we would have to move a lot more often" She laughed
"She says like she's never threatened to kill a nurse or two before" Rosalie stage whispered to Alice. Causing Bella to burst into a fit of giggles.
When they reached to top floor of the hotel the walked down the short hallway to their room. Rosalie opened the door and stood back for Bella to walk in first.
Upon walking in Bella's mouth fell open. "Oh my god! This place is HUGE!"
That wasn't an under statement either, after looking around Bella realized that this was more of a 2 bedroom apartment than a hotel room. They walked into the dining area which led off into a big open kitchen that looked out into the living room, which looked like it could seat about 10 people with 2 couches 2 arm chars and a love seat. The living room also had a huge flat screen TV with DVD player and a huge collection of DVDs. There was a sound system with several speakers around the room. Each of the 2 bedrooms were mirror images of each other with their doors facing each other at the end of the hall. Each room possessed a huge king sized bed a small couch and a TV almost as big as the one in the living room. There was a master bath in each room that had a lighted mirror in the hall way leading to the bathroom which contained a huge shower and a bathtub that looked like it could fit 3 or 4 people.
"Do you like it?" Alice asked as Bella came back out into the living room.
"It's amazing!" Bella laughed when Alice jumped up and down a couple of times clapping. "But why 2 rooms? I'm the only one who sleeps."
"Oh one is for sleeping and the other is for wedding preparation storage." Alice smiled.
Bella rolled her eyes at Alice, but smiled anyways.
"We may not sleep but we figured there are 4 of us here for 5 days we might as well have space to move around." Rosalie told her "that and were shopping at least once on this trip no reason for us to get pushed out of our room because she bought too much." She added pointing to Alice.
Bella smiled "Good point"
"Ok Bella dear why don't you order something from the room service menu" Esme said handing it to her, "Unless you would like to go out to eat before the movie"
"No Room service is fine " Bella said taking the menu.
As she sat down on the couch to read it over there was a knock on the door. Alice went to open it and stood back as the bell boys began moving their bags in"
"Where would you like these?" one asked
"All in the room on the left please except for this one... and those 3" Alice said pointing to the bags she wanted.
Bella called down and placed her order with the front desk.
"Why do only a few of the bags go in the room on the right?" she asked as Alice sat down next to Rose who was flipping through the channels on the TV.
"Oh well you will be sleeping in the room on the right so your bags along with our clothes for the next few days are in there and all the wedding and prep stuff is in the room on the left. That way we know what everyday stuff is and what wedding stuff is so there is no reason to dig through stuff everyday"
"Very efficient" Bella laughed
After she ate and they all picked a movie to see they were on their way to the theatre. Bella had really gotten into the spirit of "Cullen Women Bonding Week" (or CWBW as Alice was trying to get them to call it) and picked a chick flick for them to go see.
"Ok that was worst movie I have ever seen" Rosalie laughed as she got into the backseat with Bella.
"Oh it wasn't that bad!" Esme said unable to keep a straight face
" I liked it!" Alice announced
"No you didn't" Bella laughed " no one liked that! I'm sure the people that made it didn't like it"
"Well the other people in the theater certainly didn't like it with the way you 3 were carrying on" Esme added looking intently at the car keys in her had as she was carefully selecting the right one to stick into the ignition.
"Umm excuse me?" Alice asked turning to face her mother
"Yes?" Esme asked
"I believe it was you" Bella began bringing her arms around the front seat to hug Esme "Who started the whole thing"
" I do seem to remember a comment along the lines of ' oh this is ridiculous that would never happen" when the lead female met her soul mate" Rosalie laughed
"Well it was" Esme defended
"Annnnd I believe it was you who burst out laughing during the climatic love declaration of the 2 main characters" Alice added
"I don't remember that" Esme turned to look out her window
"Right, it was all us" Bella stated "what were we thinking"
"She really does seem think that doesn't she?" Alice asked the 2 in the back
"Oh you be quiet or Ill leave you all here" Esme laughed
"and we'll beat you back to the hotel" Rosalie promised
They were all laughing as Esme pulled out of the theater parking lot.
