Chapter 2

We got my bags packed and we put them in the Volvo and headed off. When we got back to his house everybody was asking me how it went. I just shook my head. They seemed to understand. Edward took me up to his room and grabbed me a phone. I quickly dialed Renee's number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hi mom"

"Hi Bella! How are you doing? How's Edward? How's Charlie? How's life at home? Do you have any plans for college yet?" She bombarded me with questions!

"Mom! Stop! I called you because me and Edward have some good news…" I paused

"Go on."

"We are getting married in August!"

Silence.

"Mom? Are you still there?"

"Yes. Let me talk to him."

"Talk to who?"

"Charlie."

"You can't talk to him right now."

"Why not?"

"He gave me a choice. I could either marry Edward or stay in the house with him. So I am living with Edward at the time. You can talk to Edward if you want to."

I could see Edward beside me frantically shaking his head no. Apparently he is afraid of Renee. I laughed at him.

"I would be glad to speak with him. Put him on."

"Renee would like to speak with you."

"Hello Renee. How are you... That's good…of course. Would you like to talk to her again? Okay here she is."

He handed me the phone.

"Are you going to act like Charlie and kick me out or shun me or are you going to be happy for me like any normal, kind, and loving mother would be?"

"I am happy for you that you found someone that you love this much but don't you think that it is a bit early? You are only 18. What is the rush?"

What should I tell her? The rush is that I want Edward to change me into a vampire with him so that I can be with him forever and he won't change me unless I marry him first. That would go over pretty good. Good enough that I would be locked in a rubber room with the Cullen's until I die.

"The rush is that I love him and I want to be with him forever and I can't do that unless we get married. Are you against that now?"

"No. I am happy for you. Tell Charlie I called and tell him to call me. Who is your wedding planner?"

My wedding planner is a short, black haired, hyper pixie with ADHD. "Edward's sister, Alice, and Esme, his mom, are working on it. You have to meet them but when you do, don't wear ugly clothes or Alice will attack you and her shopping sprees aren't very fun." Edward felt the need to start laughing at me. I smacked him and it hurt my hand. "Edward stop laughing at me! You should be just as afraid of Alice as I am! ALICE!!! EDWARD IS MAKING FUN OF YOU AND YOUR SHOPPING SPREES!!!" The small pixie ran up the stairs and took Edward out of the room to go shopping probably. "For someone so small she is terrifying."

"Bella I'm sure she's not that bad."

"Really? You've never gone shopping with her. Rosalie is just as bad."

"Who is Rosalie?"

"His other sister."

"Poor guy. Lives in a house with two shopping obsessed sisters and no other boys to talk to but his dad."

I had to laugh at that. "No he has two brothers, too. Emmett and Jasper are good guys."

"Do they have girlfriends?"

"Yes. Emmett has Rosalie and Jasper has Alice. It is legal because Rosalie and Jasper are twins and the rest aren't actually related."

Just then, Alice came through the door with Edward behind her wearing a white tank top with glitter and sequins and a pink mini skirt on. He even had make-up on! I couldn't help but burst into hysterical laughter.
