Now remember this is after Breaking Dawn. In the fifth book, Stephenie Meyer decided to go backwards and redo Twilight from Edward's POV. The following story is what i would've liked to see if she continued :)
Bella's POV
Alice decided to take me shopping after the whole Jacob ordeal. I hated to see him leave like that; I knew we hurt him pretty bad. I couldn't stop thinking about it until we got to the mall. Alice couldn't wait to get started. We instantly hit a couple stores first, but I was fine shopping there mainly because they were all clothes for Renesmee. However, after leaving that store, I was bored almost immediately.
"Alice," I pleaded. "Do we have to go shopping? I already have plenty of nice things ... from you."
"I know. I just need to recooperate, and shopping is how I do just that."
"Why didn't Rosalie tag along?"
"Before Jacob showed up, Emmett had her pretty much occupied." Alice giggled a little bit.
"Oh ..." I was about to say something else but Alice pulled me into an Abercrombie & Fitch store.
She conquered the first table without trouble: serval blouses, a couple polos and some jeans (all for herself). Then we moved to the back of the store, so she could help me find something.
"Look at those shirts, Bella. Edward would love those on you."
"I don't know ... they're a little pricey, Alice."
"Don't be ridiculous. If you want them and they're in your size, it won't be a problem."
I watched as Alice would look at each shirt and the size without even minding the price. I tried to mimick her but whenever I shopped with my mother, Renee, it was always a force of habit for both of us to look at the price. In my opinion, every shirt in the entire store was overpriced. Alice threw a couple shirts at me; I was pretty impressed with my clumsy self that I caught three of them, but the fourth fell. I was bending over to pick it up, when someone beat me to it.
"Thank you." I grinned. When I saw the person's face, I gasped. "Mike?"
"Bella?" Mike grinned at me. "Long time no see, girl!"
"I haven't seen you in forever."
"Aren't you supposed to be at Dartmouth?"
"Aren't you supposed to be at Seattle University?"
"I dropped out," he admitted. "College is too much for me."
"Are you still in touch with Jessica?" I asked, thinking of Edward and my conversation earlier today.
"Yeah, we're cyber-dating. But it's a little hard with her in Phoniex."
"She goes to Phoniex now?"
"She transferred. She was going to drop college to be with me, but she wouldn't be able to get a job without a degree ... well, a good job, that is."
"Do you have a job?" I questioned.
"No," he frowned. "But it doesn't really matter to me. I'll probably end up nowhere anyway."
"That's the spirit," I said sarcastically. He laughed, rubbing the back of his head.
"I missed you, Bella."
"Yeah, me too."
"Here," Alice walked up and handed me a polo. "Try this one on."
"Ah, you're still in touch with the Cullens, I see."
"I don't know if 'in touch' is the right word, but ok."
"I never thought that you and Cullen would last ... you are still dating right?"
"No, we aren't dating anymore."
"Good," he sighed in relief. "But it must be hard for you."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, obviously you still hang out with the pixie one, so you must be around Cullen a lot."
"Yeah, me and Edward are very close still, though."
"Oh ...."
After that, Mike continued to talk to me, but I kind of tuned him out. I haven't always been an eavesdropper but when Alice's cellphone rang, I had to listen ... just in case it was Edward.
"Hey," Alice spoke into the phone.
*******
"The shopping's going well ... for me that is. Bella only bought for Renesmee."
*******
"You what? Emotions from Bella?" she must be talking to Jasper.
*******
"Oh, she's not annoyed with me. We ran into Mike Newton."
*******
"He what?"
*******
"Came back? Why would Jacob do that?"
*******
"Did Edward hurt him?"
*******
"Well, that's good. Make sure that Edward remains in control."
*******
"Jacob should'nt have done that. Renesmee's not a display."
*******
"Make sure no one gets hurt."
*******
"I love you too. Bye." She hung up, and looked at me.
I looked back at Mike, who was still going on and on about sports. I decided to cut him off when he took a breath in the middle of his babbling, "I really have to get going, Mike. But it was nice talking to you."
"Yeah," he smiled. Alice handed me two of our bags. "See ya later. Hey, wait."
"What?" I asked polietly.
"Is that ... a bag of baby clothes?" he frowned.
"Um," I looked down at the two bags in my hands. "Yes."
"What are they for?"
"A baby."
"Who's?" he was getting impatient.
I sighed. "Mine."
"Oh my god, Bella. With Cullen? But you two aren't even married yet!"
"Actually ...."
"You married him!? But you said you weren't dating him anymore."
"We're not dating ... we're married."
"Bella, I ..."
"Bye, Mike."
I ran out the door before he could scold me any longer. And I could've sworn that when I caught up with Alice, I could hear someone in the Abercrombie & Fitch store hypervenalating.
