I Gotta Feeling
Bella's POV
I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas
The rest of the week passed in similar fashion to Monday. I went to school and then hung out with Alice and Rose after school. They adored Bianca. At lunch I talked books with Jasper and joked with Emmett. Alice and I talked more about the up coming cheer-leading tryouts. And I got to know Edward, we talked a lot more than we had the first day we met. I was starting to think of him as a real friend. Even though I wanted more with him. I still hadn't told any of the guys about Bianca, and Alice and Rose said they wouldn't say anything because it was my information to share. But, they did tell me that the guys would be very supportive and how Emmett was like a child himself so he would have someone to play with once I did tell them. I was still just a little worried about how they and the other kids at school would react.
It was now friday and Eric's party was tonight. I was going to take Bianca to get ice cream after I picked her up, since I would be out tonight. I was walking to the school parking lot when I felt someone start walking next to me. I turned to my right and saw two bright green eyes and a crooked grin.
"Hi," I said with a small shy smile.
"Hi," he smiled right back, with more confidence. "So were gonna come get you guys at 8 tonight at Alice's right?"
"Yup, who's driving?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Emmett, he has the biggest car," he said as he walked with me to my car. I gave him a big smile "Well I guess I'll see you at 8 then," I said looking right into his eyes. He slowly reached up and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, "Yes you will," he mumbled before walking to his car.

"Ice cream!" Bianca screamed when we got into the store and she saw how many choices she had. One minute she wanted strawberry, then 3 seconds later she wanted rocky road. So after 5 minutes of looking at the ice cream selections she finally decided on cookies and cream. So I ordered a scoop of cookies and cream in a bowl for her and a scoop of vanilla in a bowl for myself. I grabbed our ice cream and about fifty napkins because I had a feeling she was gonna make a mess.
While we were sitting eating our ice cream and Bianca was telling me about which movie she and grandpa were going to watch tonight while I was out, I heard someone call me. I turned and there standing in the ice cream shop was Emmett with a huge smile on his face and Jasper standing behind him. They walked over and sat down with us, Jasper next to me and Emmett next to Bianca.
Not one to be shy Bianca sticks her tiny hand out in front of her and introduces herself to Emmett. "Hi, I'm Bianca. What's your name?"
Emmett chuckles at her while he engulfs her tiny hand in his, "I'm Emmett and this is Jasper," he said indicating Jasper who smiled at Bianca and said hi. She waved at him since she couldn't reach his hand. "Bella, I didn't know you had a sister, she's so cute," Emmett said looking right at me. Before I could open my mouth to correct him Bianca did it for me. "She's not my sister silly." Emmett furrowed his brows while I chanced a quick look at Jasper who seemed to have figured it out, by the look on his face. "Well, then who are you?" he asked directly to Bianca. "She's my mama," she said while pointing at me. "Oh," he said after a few seconds. "Do you wanna come help me pick out what flavor I should get?" he asked her, she turned toward me asking silent permission. I nodded my head allowing her to go with him. She reaches up and takes his hand as they walk up to the glass case together.
"Bella?" Jasper asked looking at me not with pity but with curiosity. "Why didn't you tell us? Do Alice and Rose know?" I gave him a small smile, "Yes Alice and Rose have both met her, and I didn't tell you guys because I was afraid of you guys looking at me...differently."
He gave me a big smile while he nodded his head in understanding. For some reason being around Jasper, I felt relaxed. "You're our friend, we wouldn't have looked at you differently. She's beautiful, she looks just like you," he said while watching Emmett and her talking about which ice cream tastes better. "You should tell Edward," Jasper said right before Emmett and Bianca came back to the table with enough ice cream for ten people and four spoons. I sat and watched the three of them eat all the ice cream while they both talked and joked with Bianca.
We said our goodbyes to the boys, each of them giving Bianca a big hug and telling me that they'd see me at 8.
I made a quick dinner that Bianca and Charlie could eat later, even though she had eaten her weight in ice cream I was sure she'd be hungry later. Alice came over at 5 and drug us over to her house to get ready for tonight. Rose was there setting up make-up and clothing choices for her and Alice. Rose did my hair and make-up while I told them about our afternoon with the boys at the ice cream parlor. Then Rose asked me if she could do Bianca's make-up and hair, to which Bianca added her big puppy eyes. "Fine, as long as you don't make her look like a hooker," I said with a sigh. Rose laughed, Alice rolled her eyes, and Bianca asked, "Mama, what's a hooker?" Alice gave me a pointed look with a smug smile. "It's nothing baby, go let Rose do your hair." She bounced over to Rose and they started talking about what to do with her hair.
Alice walked over to me with a weird look on her face, "Bella, when are you going to tell Edward?" I sighed, "I'm not sure." I walked over to the bed hoping to avoid the question, I got dressed in the Alice approved outfit of black skinny jeans with tares up each thigh, a short sleeve red top that looked great and some black ankle boots with a 4 inch heel. I walked over to the full length mirror, I thought I looked nice. I hoped Edward would think the same thing. "Don't worry, he'll love you in this," Alice whispered in my ear. I gave her a big smile and thanked her for everything. "I gotta feeling tonight's gonna be a good night," she said with a wide smile.
It was almost 8, and Bianca had beautiful soft curls that fell down her back just like mine and a little bit of lip gloss, blush, and mascara. She looked like a little lady. Alice insisted on a group picture. So we walked downstairs to her living room where Mr. and Mrs. Brandon were. "Don't you girls look lovely," Mrs. Brandon said. "Mom can you take a picture of us real quick," Alice asked. Mrs. Brandon hopped up to take the picture, we sat in front of the fire place, me in the middle Alice to my right Rose to my left and Bianca on my lap. After the picture I was going to run Bianca back over to my house to watch her movie with Charlie. While she was saying goodbye to Rose and Alice, Mrs. Brandon came over to me. "Bella, you know if you ever need a babysitter and Charlie can't do it I would be happy to help," she said in a kind voice. I smiled and said thank you while I gave her a quick hug.
"Dad!" I called out looking for him.
"In the living room Bells," he yelled back. I walked into the living room just in time to see Bianca jump onto Charlie's lap causing him to grunt. I laughed silently. "Are you sure you don't mind watching her?" I asked for the tenth time. He rolled his eyes, "Bells, go have fun, be a kid for one night. We are going to watch a movie and eat dinner and have fun without you," he said while he tickled my daughter.
"Okay, well I won't be out to late." I smiled at the scene in front of me.
"Stay as long as you want Bells, I trust you, just remember to have fun." I rolled my eyes, of course he trusted me, I wasn't stupid enough to get pregnant again.
"Kay, come give me a kiss baby," I asked Bianca. She stood up on the couch so she was almost as tall as me. "Have fun mommy, I love you."
"Love you too baby, be good for grandpa."
"Yup Yup," she said giggling while falling back onto her butt.
"Bye," I said to the room, not getting a response because they were back to a tickle fight.

By the time I got back over to Alice's the boys had shown up and everybody was standing in front of a huge jeep. Edward had his back to me, but once Emmett saw me and screamed my name, everyone turned towards me as I walked up to them. I giggled at Emmett's antics but smiled right at Edward. "Okay, let's go," Alice said. Emmett jumped in the drivers seat with Rose sitting shotgun. I walked to the side but before I could open the door Edward's hand shot out to open it, "You look really beautiful tonight," he whispered into my ear before he opened the door, sending chills all over my body. He opened the door and I stood there in confusion for moment, I heard a slight chuckle behind me, so I turned to him, "How do I get in?" I couldn't figure how to get into this massive car since the floorboard came up to my stomach and there were no handles to grab onto.
"Would you like some help?" he asked politely. I nodded my head while I turned back to the car, I thought he was just going to tell me how to get in, but then I felt two strong warm hands grip my hips and lift me into the car.
"Thank you," I said turning to him with a slight blush warming my cheeks.
"Anytime."
By the time we got to Eric's there were people everywhere. We stepped into the house and tried to find the kitchen to get some drinks. Once we got there everybody but Rose grabbed a red dixie cup full of beer, she saw me watching her, "I'm gonna be the designated driver so Emmett can drink," she explained. I nodded in understanding. After a few hours of being there we had all had a few drinks, so when Alice and Rose decided it was time to dance I didn't really put up to much of a fight.
During the third song, I felt two hands on my hips. Now normally I wouldn't dance with a stranger, but I knew those hands, I could feel the electrical charge the second he touched me. So I pushed back so my body was up against his, our hips moving together with his hands guiding mine. I wanted to see his face and I think he felt the same way because he turned me around so we were facing each other. His hands remained on my hips while my hands wove themselves into his messy bronze hair. HIs green eyes locked on mine. He pulled my hips into his, and I felt the hard bulge in his pants press against my stomach, causing me to blush but not pull back, because I liked knowing that I did that to him. The world around us blurred and all I saw was him. He started to lean in like he was about to kiss me, "Bella?" he asked quietly, almost like he was asking for permission. So I nodded, because I would do just about anything if he would just kiss me with those soft looking lips. He leaned a little further, then we were both suddenly knocked off balance when Emmett came barreling past us knocking into Edward's shoulder screaming something about skinny dipping, which made no sense seeing as Eric didn't have a pool.
Once I got my balance back I glanced at Edward and gave him a shy smile while my cheeks warmed. He smiled back at me, grabbed my hand and led us over to Rose and Emmett who looked like he was getting yelled at.
"Your drunk!" she yelled with a harsh look on her face.
If Emmett was bothered by her yelling you couldn't tell, he was the picture of cool. "I'm tipsy, but just short of seeing pink elephants," he announced loudly causing several people to laugh and me to hide my face in Edward's shoulder so Rose wouldn't see me laughing. I felt Edward shaking with his own silent laughter. Rose through her hands into the air stating that Emmett was a lost cause. She turned towards Edward and I, with a quick look towards our entwined hands asked if we would go find Jasper and Alice so we could leave. Before we could even agree, Alice popped up on my left with Jasper right behind her, "Were ready," she said to the group.
The ride to mine and Alice's houses was interesting, seeing as Emmett wanted some "mood music" as he called it. He turned the radio on and ended up on Wannabe by the Spice Girls. Alice, Rose, Emmett, and I sang the entire song while Jasper and Edward shook with laughter. Emmett knowing all the words was a little scary, but hilarious.
It was 12:45 by the time I got home. Edward helped me out of the car much the same way he helped me into it. He leaned down kissed my cheek and whispered "Goodnight Bella."
I walked into my house and up the stairs to my bedroom in a daze. Bianca was sound asleep, so I changed quietly and got under the covers. The second the bed shifted Bianca moved her little body so she could cuddle next to me. I stayed awake for a while thinking about Edward and our almost kiss.
