Enjoy!!!

Ready for what is to come?

Edward POV

"EDWARD…. Come on Edward… you better wake up and tell me how last night went, or so help me God…" Alice threatened as she bounced up and down on my bed, rocking me roughly back and forth.

"Come on Alice. Give me a break, I'm sleeping here." I tried to sound gruff and sleepy even thought I had been awake for the last few hours, lying in bed reliving everything that happened last night. I couldn't hide the smile the crossed my face this time.

"OK… Fine… I will just go and call Bella, tell her that I never really went to Texas for the weekend. I will tell her that you begged and pleaded with me for days to lie to my best friend…" My hand shot up to cover her mouth.

"For such a little person you sure are a pain in the ass." I said as I started laughing, taking my hand off her mouth and pulling he into a big hug. "And we both know that you wouldn't do that because you want this to happen just as bad as I do." I added as I kissed the tip of her nose and pushed her off the side of my bed with a thud. I threw my legs over her trying not to kick her in the head, made a bee line for the bathroom, and slammed the door shut before the pillow hit, both of us laughing like children.

I made sure to take my old sweet time showering, shaving and making my unruly hair look just the way it did when I got out of bed. I grabbed my favorite pair of worn out Tommy jeans and the first shirt I laid my hand on, threw them on and went out to face the music. Alice was sitting on the end of my already made bed patiently, hand folded in her lap and looking sweetly at the bathroom door.

"Took you long enough, sometimes I swear you are worse than a girl." She said with a giggle in her voice. The she looked at my jeans. Oh no here it comes, I thought as I rolled my eyes. "And with all the jeans that I buy you," She shook her head in disbelief." You would think you would get rid of those." She said as she pointed at my jeans.

"Do you really want to talk about my clothing choices, or do you want to hear about last night?" Knowing full well what her answered would be, I sat down next to her and draped my arm around her shoulder. "Because I know it is killing you not to know." I added with a little cockiness.

"Ok I'm all ears, but remember she is my best friend and I AM going to call her and find out the truth, so keep it real boy." She said as she pocked her little finger into my chest, smiling up at me.

I told her the whole story of what happened last night, every juicy detail, she would accept nothing less. I purposely kept the part about James till the end, he was still a very tender subject to our family, and I hated to upset my little sitter. It still shocked me that he showed up at our house at all.

"You mean he had the balls to show up at our house after what he did to our cousin." He mouth tightened into a thin line and I could see the fire burning in her eyes. We were always on the same page.

"Yeah I know, But I told him to leave her alone, she is happy and moving on with her life. It did surprise me a little to see the hurt in his eyes when I said that part." I said, "But it was nothing compared to the look in Vicky's when he told her to get rid of the baby, or he would do it for her." I felt my whole body tensed up at that moment and Alice gave me a tight hug.

"Edward… Calm down.. You didn't know that was how he was going to be when you set them up. They were two willing adults, you couldn't have stopped it." She said, all her anger gone now so she could help me control mine. She always knew what to say and when to say it. God thank you for giving me the greatest little sister in the world. I relaxed slightly.

"I know.. I know." I said as I dropped my head into my hands and sighed into them.

"And you made up for it ten folds. You made sure that she was safe, had a place to live, proper medical care, and great job. She has everything she needs for herself and the baby when he gets here, and best of all, you get her away from James." She added with another hug.

"Thanks sis." I said as I kissed the top of her head. "What time is it anyway?" I asked as I stood up to walk out the door, I was so done with talking about James, I wasn't going to let him wreck this day.

"It's around three, why?" She asked, as she stood up and walked out my bedroom door.

"Oh no. That doesn't give me much time to get ready." I said as I changed my course and headed back to my closet.

"Time for what?' she asked raising her eyebrows at me.

"Oh didn't I tell you." I stalled for a few moments just to watch her sweat; I knew it was killing her to not know something. She put her hands on her hips and started to tap her foot impatiently. I couldn't help but laugh, but I knew better than to do it out loud. "I'm going to Bella's for dinner tonight, she is cooking dinner for me." I added, I felt like a teenager again when I thought about her. All of the sudden I was laying on my back on the floor of my walk in closet, with Alice on my chest screaming and hugging me tightly.

"No you didn't tell me, but I will let it slid this time." She added as she pushed herself off my chest, a little harder than needed, with her pointy little elbows, and walked around my closet a determined look on her pixie like face.

"What do you think you are doing?' I asked as I pushed myself off the floor, like I needed to ask.

"Do you really think that I am going to let YOU of all people pick out your own outfit for one of the biggest days of our lives?" She said not taking her eyes from my clothing choices. I took Alice less than 5 minutes to find "the perfect outfit" as she called it. I was thing more like kakis and a nice shirt, but she brought out a brand new pair of Sean John Hamilton straight legs jeans with leather trim, and a light green bottom up shirt over a white print t-shirt. "This green will bring out your eyes." She said as she threw the shirt at me. I knew better than to contradict Alice about fashion, so I went into the bathroom and got dressed. In the time that it took me to change my clothing reassess my hair and found my favorite cologne, Ego. Alice had just walked back into my room as I walked out of my bathroom, holding Crystal on one hip and a bottle of wine in her other hand.

"Oh Edward, not that one." She said with a roll of her eyes; fighting back a laugh as Crystal starter to kick her arms and legs screaming loudly.

"Yeah I know it's not the $300 an ounce stuff, but I like it. And might I add that I have ever had a complaint yet." I said with a glimmer my eye, staring at Crystal, and giving her my best funny face. Alice laughed and handed me the bottle of wine, and readjusted Crystal in her arms.

"It's her favorite." She said when I looked at the label questionably. It was a bottle of Airlie 2002 Gewürztraminer from Willamette Valley.

"Alice I didn't want to go cheep." I said looking at her shocked. How could the woman who goes and spends $60 on a new bib for her daughter to sip up on hand me a $15 bottle of wine to take on my first date with Bella?

Alice walked over to my said and placed a hand on my arm. "Remember Edward, Bella is a simple girl with simple taste. She won't care if you go out and buy a $500 bottle of wine. It will mean so much more to her that you brought a bottle of her favorite wine to share with her." She said as she looked me lovingly in the eyes.

I nodded as her words milled their way around my mind. "Yes I know you are right. She is just so different than the rest. I don't know how to act." I said as I took Crystal from Alice's arms, giving her a slight hug and kissing her on the cheek.

"Be yourself. That's man that she likes anyway. Don't try to be the 'playboy' or the' bad guy', just be the sincere and loving Edward that I know you are. She won't be able to stop herself from falling in love with you then, if it hasn't happened already." She added with a wink. We both looked at the clock at the same time, 4:45. Not even bothering to look back at each other we started to walk out the door and down the stairs.

I handed her back Crystal and gave them both a big hug. "Wish me luck." I said as I grabbed my keys and cell phone off the small table and started to walk out the door.

"You won't need luck bro; everything is going to go great. Oh and by the way. You need to stop down at Agatha's on your way, everything is taking care of. "She yelled to me as she stood at the front door smiling her all knowing smile.

Bella POV

He is going to be her is 45 minutes and I haven't even changed. I thought as I checked on diner. I made one of my father's favorite dishes; Stuffed Pork tenderloin with mushroom sauce, Garlic, sour cream mashed potatoes, the I decided a nice baby leaf salad sounded wonderful as an addition. Everything looked perfect, I did a last once over on the downstairs as I flew thorough and ran up to my room. I grabbed my brand new hip hugger jeans, which Alice forced me to get last week, and my favorite deep purple 'V' neck blouse and went into the bathroom to change. It wasn't till I was redoing my hair that I realized that I hadn't tripped once going up the stairs yet today. I smiled to myself. Hey maybe I will become more graceful with age. I shook my head already know that will never happen. I heard that doorbell right as I was taking one last look at myself in the mirror.

"Be right there." I yelled knowing that he could hear me from my room, my house was small, a three bedroom townhouse, and like most new homes now days the walls were as thin as paper. I looked at myself once more. My stomach was doing such violent flip flops that I swear I could see it moving, my hands started sweating and I felt a little dizzy.

"You can do this Bella." I encouraged softly, trying to calm myself down. "Just go down there, open the door, and the rest will just fall into place." I nodded to my refection turned around and headed down the stairs, praying to God I could get down them just one more time today without landing on my face.
