Alice dragged me into the mall before Edward was even able to park. Claire decided to wait for Quil, but Alice had other plans.

"Let me have some of your shield, Bella," Alice demanded. I did as she commanded. My cell phone went off, but she shut it off right away. Hers rang next. "Leave us alone, and don't call again. This is the only chance that I get to shop with Bella, and I am going to take full advantage of it." She hung up, and she proceeded to turn her phone off.

She finally let me walk normally, and oh boy did the boys drool at us. It was crazy, but it was still fun. "Should we sister," I questioned her.

"We shall, sister," Alice said before taking my arm and dragging me into a store. It was so intent on not being fully dragged that I didn't know what store she pulled me into before she stopped. It was a lingerie store. I couldn't believe she would bring me here first, but I didn't really care. I just wanted to get the shopping over with.

Alice told stuff off the shelves, and she soon took me to a fitting room. "Try on all of these. I think that they will be good, but I have to see his reaction with them on you." So I started the changing process. I went through all of it, and I was surprised that I survived. Man, she could choose a lot of stuff.

She had two separate piles, and I just waited till she discarded the ones that she had. We were soon on the way to buy the clothes. When I looked out of the store, I wish I hadn't. Edward was shooting lasers at us with his eyes. I really hope that he'd like this stuff because it was all for him.

"Let's go," Alice said as she started dragging me out into the mall again. I couldn't believe that she was dragging me when I was coming freely. We passed Edward, and I mouthed, "I love you" before we went into another store. He seemed to lighten up a little bit, but he didn't much.

"Where are we going next," I questioned her.

"To look at dresses," Alice whispered to me truthfully. I still had the shield up so Edward couldn't hear our thoughts (Alice's really). He didn't like that fact much, but I had to try to surprise him somehow. I looked back to see Claire dragging Quil off to a store. He didn't seem to mind much. Edward, Jasper and Emmett were following us though. Couldn't they look at cars or something? I guess it wouldn't help them much, but they didn't need to follow us everywhere.

We were soon at the shop, and Alice started to pick clothes out again. It took her ten minutes to find everything. I was just about thinking that I should run out of the store. It took us even longer to get everything together because Alice tried some of the lingerie with the dresses. In the end, she discarded more than half the dresses. It was very amusing to watch her shop.

"Put these on," Alice said before we went out of the store.

"Why," I questioned her.

"You need a pick-me-up." I did as she requested, and then we went to pay for everything. I didn't look at Edward this time (mostly because I don't know what his reaction would be). When we walked out of the store, some of the guys stared at Alice and I, but she wasn't done yet. I didn't dare look at Edward's reaction to this. I didn't want to know really. He really shouldn't have came on this shopping trip, but being as stubborn as he always is, he would have came no matter what I said.

Alice went into the shoe store picked out a lot of high heels for me to try. We tried to hide a little from Edward, but this time he could see what we were doing. It made things a little difficult.

"Is that all," I questioned Alice as we walked out of the store.

"This is the only time that I get to shop with you, my dear sister, so I wouldn't dream of stopping yet." We were stopped then. Edward was standing in our way, and he looked furious. He didn't seem to like that I was hiding something from him, but it was for his own good.

"I have to go," I whispered to Edward before I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He tried to kiss me, but Alice was pulling me away already. We walked to the other side of the mall, and I had no clue why.

"In coming," Alice stated as we walked forward. I didn't know why she was saying this until we walked by a group of guys. They all whistled at us. I almost laughed because it was funny to see their reaction. Alice and I finally let out a giggle, and the guys took it as an invitation to follow us. I looked back, and I saw that Edward was shooting daggers at the boys.

I smiled apologetically at Edward before I faced forward. I didn't know where we were going next, but I hadn't imagined that we were going to go into a clothing store. She picked out a lot of tops for me to try out. I couldn't believe how many there were. She went through all of them like we did the last time, and I couldn't believe some of the ones that she had picked out. They were quite exposed. I don't even know if I could wear some of these in public. We went through the jeans soon enough, and she got me all of the jeans she picked out. She had a huge pile by the time I was done with the jeans, but she still wasn't done. She went through all the shorts and the skirts too (or the mixture if there was any). She discarded more than three-fourths of it though, which I couldn't complain. Some of those were really bad.

We finally went to the store clerk to check out. She smiled painfully because she thought that she had to put a pile back (the one I was holding probably), but she didn't really worry after seeing Alice's credit card. It was so weird that the store clerk's would do that.

"Have a nice day," the store clerk grinned at us fully when we left the store. I swear that Alice bought half of what was in the store originally. There were a lot of bags that Alice was carrying out of that store. I had everything that we bought beforehand.

"The mall will be closing in ten minutes," we heard someone say over the intercom.

"Awww," Alice whined, "So much for shopping with Bella. Now I will never be able to ever again." She was probably right. With as much shopping that we did, I probably would go crazy if I had to do that again. It was not worth it in the least bit, but yet it was totally worth it. Now I could put my plan into action, but I wouldn't yet, not until the weekend.

"I'll drive her home, Alice," Edward said.

"Which car," Alice questioned.

"My car," he stated. He started dragging me away even before I could give my bags with the secret in it. Alice tried to grab them, but then Edward grabbed them in one hand and dragged me in the other. It was quite annoying, but I guess that I would have to live with it.

"Where are we going," I questioned him when he was going the opposite way from home.

"It's a secret," Edward stated. Now I was really starting to hate secrets. I shouldn't have gone shopping with Alice, but I actually had a little fun.

"Please," I stated. He shook his head. "Please," I said again as I got closer. He kept shaking his head. "Please," I said one more it before biting his neck. He gasped, and I knew that he didn't like that I was biting him on the neck. He loved when I did it, but now wasn't the right time for him especially when he was driving.

"Bella," he whined as I continued to bit him. He moaned when I hit the right spot, and I knew that he didn't want me to stop finally. I had finally gotten to him.

"Where are we going," I whispered.

"It's a secret," he stated.

"I won't tell anyone," I stated as if it wasn't meant for me.

"We're almost there."

"Why are you keeping this a secret," I complained.

"Why did you keep the shopping a secret," Edward shot back, and I knew that he had me. He seemed to know this too. I could see the smirk grow on his face.

"I love you," I whispered after a couple of moments. He turned his smirk into a grin. I could always get him to smile whenever I said those three simple words. It was the same for me. I loved to hear it. His musical voice was so tempting to hear.

"I love you too, my Bella," he replied. Without taking his eyes of the wheel, he took my hand in his own. I felt comforted by this gesture, and I liked it. He never ceased to take care of me no matter what, and I would do the same for him whenever he needed me there. I was content with the life that we lived, and I was happy that he was the one that I was sharing this life with.

"Where are we going," I questioned when I was growing impatient again. I couldn't stand waiting. I knew that it was the weekend, but I would love to spend time with my family also. We were heading towards Forks, but not to our home. It was annoying me that I couldn't know the reason why.

"Just wait and see," Edward replied. He seemed a little annoyed that I wouldn't stop pestering him about where we were going, but he also seemed a little amused. It was the first time since I became a newborn that he seemed amused at what I did, and I was glad for the change. He seemed different sometimes, but in other ways, he seemed the same. It didn't make sense to me really, but I'm glad that I can see a little of his old self again.

"Can you at least give me a hint?"

"Nope."

"Please?" He shook his head. "Pretty please." He shook his head again, but by that time, we were parked in a parking lot near where our old house was. Why were we here? We didn't own our old house anymore, and I couldn't figure out why we were here.

"Follow me," Edward said as he opened my door.

"To the ends of the earth," I replied. He smiled at what I had said. It was one of my favorite things to say whenever he said that I should follow him, and he always loved to hear it. I could always tell by the sparkle in his eyes.

He grabbed my shopping bags, and we walked into the forest around us. It was quite interesting to me that we were leaving the car behind, and I couldn't help but be curious by that fact. He loved his car, and I sometimes thought that he loved it more than me, but I knew better than think those kinds of things. He always proclaimed his love to me in every town that we've stayed in, and whenever we would get married. It never got old whenever I was walking down the aisle to Edward in each new town. It would be a small wedding, but I loved wearing my wedding dress over and over again. It connected me to my human life when I married Edward for the first time, and Alice never had a problem getting a wedding designed for us.

"We're almost there," Edward stated, knocking me out of my thought process. I was surprised when Edward stopped and handed me the bags. He didn't seem like wanting to let go of them, and I suppose that he wanted to look inside of them, but he knew better than that. Alice and I would be on his case within minutes. Alice might not be here right now, but she would probably call or run to the location we're at to yell at him.

He proceeded to put his hands in front to make sure that I couldn't see. It seemed familiar because of it was the same thing for me when I was a newborn, but Alice was the one to do it. When I caught a glimpse of the surrounding forest, it seemed familiar. I felt like I've been here before, maybe for more over a million times. It seemed all familiar to me, but I really couldn't place it. It still seemed strange, but it seemed familiar at the same time.

"We're almost there," Edward whispered in my ear as he led me forward. I didn't feel really comfortable without my sight, but I trusted Edward with my life, and I loved him too much not to trust him.

"Where are we going," I questioned. I was a little annoyed that we were going so slowly. I wanted to find out where we were going, and I wanted to know what the fuss was about.

"Here," Edward stated as he uncovered my eyes. I just stared ahead of me. I couldn't believe it. It couldn't be. I thought that it would have decayed by now or something like that. It was my house. My house that I lived in when I was a newborn. I couldn't believe my eyes. I never thought that I'd be able to see it again. Sure it was a little different, but it was still my house. I felt a ton of emotions fly through me as I just gaped at the small house that was mine.

"So, what do you think," Edward questioned when I didn't say anything. He seemed nervous. Did he think that this would be a painful thing for me to see? I loved seeing it. I couldn't wait to be inside the house again.

I walked forward without saying anything. I heard Edward follow, but I didn't pay any attention to him. When I reached the house, the first thing I did was touch the door. I felt like it was a hallucination that I was seeing, but I could be wrong. I felt like when I touched it, I knew that it wasn't a dream. I was amazed that it was still standing, and it looked exactly the way it was 150 years ago.

"Bella," Edward questioned nervously. I was standing right behind me then, but I didn't turn to face him. Instead I opened the cottage door. I wanted to see what was different inside the house though.

It looked perfectly the same. It was as if I never left. I loved seeing everything again. It made me feel like everything is back to normal in the same town of Forks.

"Bella, are you okay," Edward stated nervously. I still haven't replied to any of his questions yet. I was overwhelmed, but I didn't want to say anything. It felt like everything would be gone if I said something.

"I love it," I whispered after a couple of seconds. If I was still human, I probably would have started crying. I loved everything about the cottage that was my home. I didn't want to leave it.

"We had to do some remodeling, but it's basically all the same," Edward stated as if he could read my thoughts.

"I love it," I stated happily. I really did love it. I felt so at home here. I felt so much different than I did when I lived in the main house. I felt like I could have more privacy, even though I love my family.

"Come with me," Edward stated as he walked forward while grabbing my hand on the way. I didn't know where we were going really, but I didn't really care as long as I was with him. I loved him so much, and I didn't care if we were going on the moon right now or if we were going to see some place on Earth. All I wanted was him.

We walked down the familiar hallway, and we ended up in our bedroom. It was exactly like it was when we lived here before. The beach was right around us, and there were the french doors that led into the terrible closet of doom. I would have to enter them soon though.

"Do you want to see the closet, or should we just lie and say we loved it," Edward questioned. I knew that he wanted to be with me right now, but it was the perfect time to put my plan into action.

"I'm going to see the closet for just a second," I stated before heading off into the doors before he could say anything. He didn't follow me which I was glad for. It would have been hard to put all this stuff away when he was watching me do everything.

Once I was done unloading all of the bags, I picked out the outfit that I wanted to wear tonight. It was a red silk dress, and under it, I put on red and black lingerie. I was glad to see that there was a mirror in this closet because I wanted to make sure that I looked perfect enough for him.

After I was done, I walked out to see Edward lying on the bed. He glanced over at me and looked back down. But then he glanced over at me again, and he just stared at me. I was started to think that it wasn't good enough and I should have tried on something else, when he ran over and started kissing me passionately.

"You look beautiful," Edward stated before we shared a night of perfectness in our home that I loved so much.
