A/N: I do not own any of the Characters.
This is going to be Bella/Alice but it will take a bit so just bear with me. Rated M just in case it gets descriptive at the end with Bella/alice.
Starts after Bella and Edward are married only without the honeymoon and Renesme. Not that I don't like her, she just doesn't fit into my story at all.
Bella stands beside Alice patiently waiting for her to finish her vision. As soon as Alice comes to she glances at Bella before saying a quick "sorry" and grabbing Bella bridal style running quickly back to the house.
"Alice? What's wrong? What did you see?"
Bella asks as they get just within the yard. Alice places Bella on the ground quickly, making sure that she doesn't fall and rushes into the house.
"Carlisle, Edward!"
She yells once she is in the living room. She bounces in place as everyone appears in the living room and begins talking quickly. So quickly that Bella cannot understand a single word any of them are saying. She can only see their lips moving quickly.
Bella clears her throat "umm, excuse me, human that can't hear everything here. What's happening?"
Edward rushes to her side and wraps his arms around her pulling her securely into him.
"It's nothing Bella." He says reassuringly.
Alice turns and glares at him disapprovingly "Nothing? It's nothing? Really? Ugh I would hate to be with you Edward because you obviously don't understand the gravity of any situation, do you?"
Edward glares at her and starts to yell at her to be quiet when Bella's voice cuts through the air slightly shrill as she tries to be heard over everything.
"Alice! Tell me what you saw." Alice looks at Bella and her face softens so that she is not scowling at her best friend.
"The Volturi are going to come here to check on you to make sure that you have been turned."
"When?" Bella says still looking at Alice.
"In a week." Alice says hanging her head slightly.
"Ok. So… I need to go." Alice looks up startled as the whole family stares at Bella confused.
"No, I mean… I meant that I need to go back to Charlie's house for the next couple of days. It takes what? Three days for the turn and we have seven so, if I spend a couple of days there I can say my goodbyes and then come back and be turned before the Volturi get here."
Edward growls as he turns towards Alice. "What? It's her decision. You knew before you two got married that she wanted to be changed Edward don't tell me you were lying to her."
Bella looks at Edward shocked and puts a hand on either cheek using all her strength to turn his head until he finally looks at her.
"You are going to change me right? You didn't lie to me again did you?" Edward looks away briefly before looking back at Bella. He looks almost defeated as he looks into her eyes.
"No. I didn't lie… I just wanted you to have more time as a human than this." He sighs as he places his arms around Bella's waist.
"Well I have spent enough time as a human. I am going to go back to Charlie's for a couple of days. I know I normally want you there at all times but… could you possibly not come by for these two days?"
Bella asks worried that Edward would take it the wrong way. Edward just smiles and leans down to capture Bella's lips in a soft kiss.
"That's fine Bella. Would it bother you if Alice came and checked on you a couple of times though? We still don't know where Victoria is and you are still human until the change is complete."
Bella nods and looks at Alice who is smiling at her knowingly. Bella makes her way to her truck and climbs in relaxing instantly at the loud rumble it makes as she turns it on. She drives to her house and walks inside startling Charlie who wasn't expecting her home and was just headed out to go fishing on the reservation.
"Well hey Kiddo, what are you doing here?" Charlie asks shocked to see his now married daughter in his entryway.
Bella laughs softly, "Well I thought since we aren't going on our honeymoon for a couple of days I would spend them here with you? Is that ok?"
Charlie smiles, touched by his daughter's thought, and places his fishing gear down. "Sure that's ok. Hey, now you have time to teach me a few easy things to cook right?" He says pulling her into a quick hug before heading towards the kitchen.
Bella laughs, "Well as long as you can read and can set a kitchen timer I think I have a couple of good suggestions." She pulls out a notebook she had stashed beside the fridge and hands it to him.
"What's this?" Charlie says opening the notebook as he sits down at the kitchen table.
"It's my going away present to you," Bella says laughing harder at his face as he reads the pages. "I thought that maybe it might help if I wrote out all of your favorite meals and how to cook them."
As Bella gets the things that she will need for one of Charlie's favorite meals they talk and laugh. They talk about everything, with only a few awkward moments here and there, but they work through those too. As the day comes to an end Bella feels that she has really made the most of her time with Charlie and can't wait to see what they will do tomorrow.
She makes her way up to her room closing her door softly behind her and leaning against it. This room has meant so much to her, and in a couple of days it won't really be her room anymore. She will be sharing Edwards room at the Cullen's house.
Hmm, that means he is always going to be with me, day in and day out, with no breaks because I won't need to sleep. Bella muses to herself as she gets ready for bed. I wonder if Alice knows of anywhere I can go to just have moments to myself.
Laying in her bed she tries to get comfortable and let sleep take her away into dreamland. She flops onto her stomach placing her hands under her pillow and popping one knee up. After about five minutes she faces the other way and switches legs. She huffs out in annoyance as she flips over onto her back and tries to get even remotely comfortable. Just as she is about to move again she hears a soft giggle from the corner of her room.
"Oh really funny, you don't have to sleep Alice, and I only have two more days to dream." Bella pouts from her bed as she turns to look at her pixie like best friend standing beside her bed with her hands over her mouth trying to cover her laughing.
"Well then silly you need to go to sleep. What's the matter?" Alice asks, her giggles subsiding as she slides onto the bed beside Bella.
"I don't know. It's just… he isn't going to give me enough space to breathe is he?" Bella asks as she moves over and lays her head on Alice's shoulder.
"Bella, he loves you and wants to spend every moment with you." Alice says moving a little lower and closer to Bella on the bed.
"I know that, it's just… sometimes I need me time you know? I mean I love him but, I thought I was going to have to fight just to get time to spend with Charlie." Bella says snuggling into Alice's side more fully and stifling a yawn.
"It's ok Bella, everything will work out. You just have to give him a little time, and ask for a little space. He will understand." Alice says hiding her giggle and running her fingers through Bella's long auburn hair.
Bella hums her appreciation before mumbling sleepily, "Thank you Alice. You always know what to say."
Alice just smiles as she continues her ministrations in Bella's hair waiting for her best friend to quickly fall asleep and dream.
