Bella's POV:
"Bella," an annoying voice breathed into my ear sending chills down my spine.
"What?" I asked annoyed that my first good night's sleep since Trinity's birth, okay make that Lucas and Warren's birth, was being interrupted.
"Come on, wake up sleepyhead!" Another chipper voice invaded my sleep addled mind. I knew those voices and I tried to ignore them, moving closer to my husband's hot form- no need for blankets in this household!
An icy hand suddenly shot out and touched the back of my neck causing me to jolt upright.
"So not fair!" I muttered, not worried about waking Paul, that man could sleep through anything- anything except our children that is. I glared at the two intruders hoping they'd get the message and let me sleep.
No such luck. "Come on, we're going to miss our flight!" Alice said bouncing on the balls of her feet.
Rosalie disappeared into my closet and reappeared seconds later "You're packed, now go put this on!" She said handing me an outfit.
"Stupid persistent vampires," I muttered grouchily but stood heading to the bathroom.
"You love us!" Alice and Rosalie said in unison and then laughed quietly at themselves.
I took a glance at my alarm clock and groaned again seeing that it was only two in the morning.
Alice, Rosalie and I were headed to some hereto unknown location, okay so just unknown to me. Everyone seems to forget that I hate surprises!
Quickly I got dressed and washed up. As I stood brushing my teeth I took a close look at myself in the mirror.
I looked exhausted but happy. My eyes had dark circles underneath them and my skin had a pale pallor but overall I looked like a mom of seven who while she loved her children immensely, of course felt the drain.
This weekend was going to be so much fun. I was looking forward to spending some time alone with two of my 'sisters'.
I was going to miss my kids of course but this was a welcome break.
I was worried after that nomadic vampire tried to kidnap Trinity almost a month ago but my kids were strong, and protective of each other and with Paul, the pack and the rest of the Cullen's I felt comfortable with their safety.
Alice and Rose were waiting for me downstairs but I had to say goodbye to each of my kids. It was something I made sure to do. If one of the kids was going somewhere or I was leaving without the kids I gave them each a kiss and told them how much I loved them.
The pack along with the Cullen boys had expanded our home when I was pregnant with Tristin so each child had their own, albeit small, room. I owed so much to my extended family.
My first stop was Noah's room. The room was filled with sports memorabilia but he still slept with his stuffed cow- 'Cowie'. Quietly I moved to his side and kissed his head.
I moved then to Micah's room. His room was filled with books. He was my little book worm and most of the time he'd rather read alone or to one of his younger siblings than to rough house with any of the others.
As I went to kiss him he murmured in his sleep "No Noah Sara's mine- not yours!" God no, poor child had inherited my sleep talking.
I bit back a chuckle and left him to his dreams.
Next was my baby twins, Lucas and Warren. Even though they had their own rooms they preferred to share- at 4 they were inseparable.
As usual, the mischievous pair was entwined on the bottom bunk. Their room looked as though a tornado had gone through it- toy cars, trucks and trains were scattered everywhere.
I kissed each and left as fast as possible without killing myself.
Molly was next with her pink and purple princess room.
"Mommy?" Her tiny voice said from under a mountain of covers as I went to leave.
"Hey Mol," I whispered quietly sitting back down on the edge of her bed.
"Where are you going? It's still dark out!" She exclaimed as if it were a cardinal sin.
"I'm going with Aunty Rose and Aunty Alice on a little trip" I murmured smoothing her hair back as her eyes drooped and she fought to keep them open.
"Can I come?" She asked.
"You've got kindergarten sweets." I smiled "But next time you can! You have to stay here and make sure daddy and your brothers don't get into too much trouble."
"Okay mommy," She slurred "Love you."
Before I could even respond again her breathing evened out and grew shallow and she was asleep again.
"Love you too my girl," I pressed one more kiss to her temple and left.
Tristin and Trinity were both sleeping in their nurseries and I was saddened for a moment by how fast my children were growing, another month and Tristin would be in a big bed.
"It's about time," Alice teased as I came down the stairs.
"Not everyone has vampire speed," I joked back.
"Says the girl who can freeze time," She scoffed.
"I'm sure she freezes time at perfectly opportune moments," Rose joined in our teased and she winked at me.
I knew I was blushing as my cheeks flushed with warmth.
"I assume you did actually pack for me?" I tried to confirm laughing softly. "As I have no idea where you crazies are taking me!"
"Why pack when we can buy a whole new wardrobe?" Alice laughed and grabbed my hand. That girl has never given up on replacing my wardrobe and I doubt she ever will.
Rose held up a duffle behind Alice and I gave her an appreciative glance, I loved my clothes- the things Alice tried to put me in were pure torture half the time!
"Alice!" I groaned but let her drag me out of my cozy home and into the cool morning darkness.
B&PB&PB&PB&P
"Wait!" I bolted upright after an hour's worth of driving "I forgot to tell Paul I was leaving." I felt like such a dolt for forgetting about him!
Alice tossed me a cell phone and I realized it was alright ringing. I mouthed thank you as I waited for Paul to answer.
"Hello?" My husband's groggy voice came through.
"Paul," I breathed happily.
"Bella?" He sounded extremely perplexed and I could imagine him rolling over to my side of the bed only to realize that I wasn't there. "Where are you?"
"Alice and Rose are taking me away for the weekend," I reminded him gently "Don't forget the big twins and Molly have school tomorrow, er I guess this morning."
"Bella," He whined "Is Esme at least going to come over?"
"She and the guys are on a hunting trip." I laughed lightly at his frustration "You'll be okay though right?" I asked a little more seriously.
"Of course," He laughed "I can handle our kids."
"Okay," I laughed with him "I'll let you go back to sleep now. If you need anything call Alice's cell."
"Love you Bells," He yawned.
"Love you too Paul." I sighed happily and hung up.
B&PB&PB&PB&P
I must have fallen straight to sleep again because next thing I knew Rosalie was shaking me and I realized that it was sunlight that was trying to stream through my closed eyelids.
"Where are we?" I asked much like my husband had earlier.
"Los Angeles!" Alice grinned "This weekend is supposed to be very dreary and I thought we could get some shopping done!"
God she was too perky though I did love her.
"Okay," I relented stretching as Rose climbed out of her side of the SUV.
This weekend was going to be interesting!
