B.p.o.v.
"A-Alice?!" I half asked, half yelled. She just jumped up and down then hugged me. I was surprised beyond belief. Her hair was still spiky and it felt odd against my face.
"Bella! You remember me!" she sang.
"Of course I remember you, Alice, how could I forget?" I mumbled, but she heard me. Super vampire hearing.
"We all thought that you would just forget. But of course, once you began hanging out with the dog, I lost sight of you. That really freaked me out, Bella," she said sternly.
"What are you doing here? I thought you weren't aloud in La Push. The treaty, Alice," I reminded her. Praying that a certain werewolf wouldn't show up and tear apart my old friend.
"I called what's-his-name and asked. I said I really needed to see you. He was all angry but I forced him to let me come. Wasn't that hard," she stated simply.
"Oh, well come on in. I have some chores…" I let her in and then began cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom. I didn't strain myself to get to the floor, knowing I was due in a couple of weeks.
Alice just watched me clean. She didn't say anything and I was thankful and sad at the same time for that. I imagined that Jacob wouldn't be back until she was gone. I would have a little chat with him when he got back.
I could feel Alice getting agitated. "Bella, why are you cleaning your already spotless kitchen??" She asked.
"I don't know," I answered. Then I thought of the others except for him. "How're Esme and Carlisle doing?" I asked. I could sense her smile.
"They're doing great, so are Emmett and Rose. Jasper is wonderful and…" she stopped when she saw me cringe. She was about to say his name. I knew it. "Bella? Is something wrong?" she asked. I shook my head and stood up.
"Nothing, I'd just rather we didn't talk about…about Edward," I cringed as I said his name. A name I had not said in at least four years. Jacob never spoke it and I never thought it.
"I'm sorry Bella. But guess what? We moved back to Forks! Isn't that awesome? You and I can hang out all of the time now!" she squealed. I felt sick to my stomach. If he was back I wouldn't be able to handle it.
"That's great, Alice." I said and smiled. I would always love Alice. She was just like my personal pixie.
"Yeah! But I better go. I can smell your dog. He wants to come in now. Bye Bella, I'll see you later!" Then she was gone. Jacob came in a minute later and I felt his arms around me.
"Jake," I began but he kissed me.
We just kissed for a few minutes and then there was a knock on the door. Jake immediately released me but was not tense.
"Damn, seems we can't ever get any privacy anymore," he laughed and answered the door. It was Sam with Emily and Rachel.
"Hello Jacob. Bella!" Emily greeted. She came up and hugged me. "My, you've gotten bigger," she said and eyed my stomach.
"Yes, well that's what happens. Hello Rachel," I smiled at the little girl who was now three. She smiled a toothy grin at me and hugged my leg.
"Auntie Bella!" she exclaimed. I didn't know why Emily insisted on her calling me auntie. Rachel finished hugging me and rubbed my belly.
I looked over to Jacob and Sam who were in an intense conversation. Probably about the Alice visit I received today. Jacob must have figured out that I was looking at him because he turned and smiled at me. Emily began a conversation about what kinds of things I would need for the baby. I listened intently. Rachel quickly got bored and went to go see Sam.
Sam and Jacob ended their conversation and the Uleys left. I turned to Jake who was looking right at me. He had an intense look in his eye as he came up to me. He said nothing but just patted our little creation that would soon see the world and kissed me. I felt safe.
