Recap: Soon, Edward pulled away. "Well how am I going to stay at your house now? Did you actually lie to Charlie?"
"No. He just said you couldn't stay ALL night!"
Edward laughed and soon I joined in.
There we sat, laughing til tears streamed down our face, when there was a sharp knock on the window.
Before I could even blink, Edward was crouching defensively in front of me. I heard him hiss, and instantly his tense posture relaxed. I looked around his shoulder and who did I see? None other than that silly pixie, Alice.
"C'mon you two!" she said opening the door. "We have a wedding to plan!" Alice grabbed my wrist and began pulling me roughly to the door.
"I can walk by myself, thank you very much!" I said trying, unsuccessfully to pull my wrist from her iron grasp. I thought Edward would intervene, but he was just walking behind us, an amused expression on his face, but I could see he was going to chew Alice out later for startling us like that. "Alice!" I grumbled as we walked through the front door. "Edward and I still need to tell Carlisle and Esme."
"They already know…" she said looking put out.
"Yes, but we want this wedding to be slightly normal now don't we?"
She sighed glumly in defeat. "Fine… I'll be in my room." And with that, Alice was gone.
I looked up at Edward and he smiled and led me inside. "Carlisle? Esme?" he said as we stood in their front room.
Carlisle and Esme walked in and, as always, they took my breath away. "Hello Bella," Carlisle said as Esme came over to give me a hug.
"Um… we have something to tell you," I said. I looked expectantly up at Edward. I had dealt with Charlie and Renee… the least he could do was tell his "parents".
"Well, Bella is now my fiancé," he said as he smiled my favorite crooked grin.
"Oh that's wonderful!" Esme said as she smiled. She came over and gave me a super hug and whispered quietly in my ear, "Thank you." Then she stepped away to stand next to Carlisle who was also beaming.
"I assume you are why Alice was pacing the floors for fifteen minutes," he chuckled. "Are you sure you want her to run your wedding? You know how overboard she'll go…"
"If I deny her this she won't forgive me for a century!" I laughed. Edward ruffled my hair and said, "Best not to keep her waiting… you know how nasty she can get!"
I heard something like a growl come from upstairs and Edward smirked.
Esme gave him a reproachful look and he hung his head with shame. I took some serious willpower for me not to giggle at that scene, but I somehow managed.
"C'mon," I said tugging on Edward's sleeve. "Let's not keep her waiting."
Edward smiled and scooped me gently up to his chest and ran to what must have been Alice's room. He looked down at me as if to ask if I was sure. I nodded, not exactly sure what I was getting myself into, but I knew it was totally necessary. With that, Edward knocked gently and opened Alice's door.
