EPOV

I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, putting on the Easter Bunny costume. It wasn't something I always did, I'm just filling in for Eric today, since I knew that Bella was bringing her class to see the bunny. Emmett told me which day she'd be coming to the mall and I offered to take his shift for him. He agreed since I explained about how I wanted to see Bella.

I thought back to the first time I met Bella, she looked so beautiful as she sat with Rosalie at the barbecue at their house. I was there with my girlfriend, Jessica. Bella smiled up at me as Emmett introduced us and my god she had a beautiful smile. I sat talking to her about music and other things as Jessica talked with some other friends there. I really wished that I was single, but while we were talking a dark haired guy came over and sat next to Bella and he leaned in and kissed her cheek. I felt jealous that he was that close to her. She blushed a bit as she looked over at me and then introduced me to her boyfriend, Garrett. I nodded and shook his hand and then made some excuse to leave the table.

I finished putting the bunny costume on and straightened the velvet jacket and fixed the bowtie. I thought about how I'm single now and Emmett told me that she was also. Maybe now would be our chance to get together. I know I tell people that I'm fine being single, but not really. I miss having someone to share my life with, sure I have my work and friends but it's not the same. I patted the vest pocket to make sure my little gift for Bella was still in there.

I exited the bathroom and walked to the center court, I waved at the the kids that I passed. I looked towards the bunny house and saw Bella standing next to Seth as the children in her class sat on the floor waiting for me.

I could feel my nerves working as the sweat gathered on my hands and forehead, thank goodness the Easter Bunny doesn't talk. I only have to wave, clap my hands or nod at things said to me and of course have countless pictures taken. I already told Seth that all of the children's pictures will be paid for by me.

I walked up to where they were standing and I waved to the children and they excitedly waved back to me. I moved closer to Bella and waved at her, she smiled back at me. She was still as beautiful as the first day I met her. I patted her arm and the kids giggled. I waved at Rosalie and she just waved back. Rosalie didn't know that it was me, even Emmett didn't know. If I told him, he would've definitely told her and I'm not sure if she would've told Bella or not.

"Okay let's get the fun started," Seth said as he directed me to go sit. I couldn't resist touching Bella's arm again as I went to sit on my carrot bench.

I watched as Seth got his camera ready and then he turned to Bella.

"Ms. Swan, you can get the children ready to see the bunny and have their pictures taken. Mr. Cul.." I had to interrupt him, so I stood up quickly and shook my head and put my finger to my lips as he looked back at Bella, who was just watching with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh.. sorry, Mr. Bunny said he'd be taking care of the cost of the pictures today. He wanted the children to have a souvenir of their visit," he said as I sat back down and ran my glove covered hand through the tufts of fur on my head.

I caught Rosalie's eyes as she watched me.

"Edward!" she mouthed.

I nodded once as she smiled as she looked over at Bella still talking to Seth.

Oh god, she knows now that it's me.

I looked up and watched as Bella turned to her class and spoke to them.

"Okay children, stand up and make one line. I will walk you up to the bunny and then when you exit you will have a seat by Ms. Angela," she said to them.

They nodded and stood up.

Bella walked up with a little girl and stood off to the side as the little girl walked timidly up to me. She handed me a card with a shaky hand. I took it and looked at it. I patted my heart and clapped my hands as the little girl sat next to me.

Seth took the picture and then she hopped down and ran over to the other teacher as Riley hopped up.

"Mr. Bunny, here's my picture. I drew you with a girl bunny. Do you have a wife bunny?" he asked.

I shook my head and looked down sadly.

"No worries, my daddy said that Ms. Bella don't have no one either."

He was definitely Emmett's child. I glanced up at Bella and her cheeks were flaming red. I nodded up at her and clapped.

Riley giggled as I patted his head and Seth took the picture.

After the last child's picture was taken, I motioned for Rosalie to come over and have her picture taken.

She walked over and I pulled her down next to me and leaned in to her, "I know that you know it's me, how do I get Bella to come over here?"

"Just wave her over, Edward," Rosalie replied as Seth took the picture.

Rosalie got up and walked over to the children as I looked over at Bella and waved her over.

She shook her head no at me.

"Ms. Bella, go sit on the bunny's lap," the kids said softly to her.

"No, I don't think so. I'm good," she told them.

"But Ms. Bella," they whined and pouted at her.

I stood up and knelt down, and clasped my hands together as I looked up at her.

"Fine, I'll do it," she said finally as I got up and sat back down.

She walked over to me and I pulled her down into my lap and I wrapped my arm around her waist as I held her close to me.

Seth took the picture as I leaned into to her.

"Bella," I said softly and she turned her face to me as I reached my hand in my pocket and held out a purple easter egg to her.
