A/N

I really hope you liked the last chapter. We are going to start to get into deeper things now since all intros are out of the way. Hope you will be ready. The story continues from Alice and Edwards meeting.

I returned to work feeling confident that I would be able to help Bella through this. I wouldn't take no for an answer. I have to be there for her.

"Is Alice okay? She sounded really worried when she left her number for you." Rosalie asked

"Yeah, we have things settled out now I think. She was just worried about Bella. She said she wasn't doing well. Hey Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you like to go out tonight with all of us? Emmett is coming with Bella and Alice, they wanted you and Jasper to come."

"Sure that would be fun. What are we doing?"

"I think just supper. We're trying to get Bella out more but we don't want to overwhelm her."

"Is she going to be okay?"

I didn't even know the answer to that. "I'm not sure. I haven't seen her since she left. I'll have to look over her. From what Alice says she is freaking out."

"I know it must be hard on Alice. Jasper is constantly talking to her. She must be taking it badly."

"I think she is. She is worried to death about her."

"I'm sorry to interrupt Doctor Cullen but you have a phone call. It is held on line one." The receptionist told me. It scared me to death. There is no telling what it is about.

"Thank you Kathy. I'll talk to you later Rose, I need to get that. It might be Alice."

"Alright" I started to walk away when Rose called me "Edward?" She ran up to me and embraced me.

"Everything will be alright. I know you're fond of Bella but she will be okay with you helping her."

"How does everyone know I like her? Am I that easy to read?" She smirked

"That and, Bella is easy to read too." She smiled and walked off while I hurried to my office.

"Doctor Cullen speaking."

"Edward? It's Tanya."

"Bella?" I heard Alice enter the house through the kitchen door.

"Yeah?" She walked into the living room and sat beside me on the couch

"Everyone is going to eat tonight, come with us? Please?" She gave me the saddest puppy face she could muster. She knows I'm a sucker for those. But I tried to resist.

"Alice I really don't feel like going out tonight."

"Pupupu please Bella! For me?" There were those eyes again. I was too tired to fight against her tonight.

"Fine, but you're buying." She squealed happily and grabbed my hand to lift me.

"We need to start getting you dressed. Let's go." We started heading up the stairs, slowly because I still had my brace on my leg. She was patient though, which was a surprise.

"I'm so glad I did some shopping for you the other day. Now we have a wide variety for you to choose from." She grinned that evil grin like she was up to something.

"Alice what are you up to?"

"What makes you think I'm up to something? I just want you to look nice. We're going to a nice restaurant with everyone and I want you to look gorgeous."

"Whatever, I'm too tired to get upset with you. Lay it on me. Pick out whatever you want for me."

She gave another squeal. She ran over to the closet and started throwing clothes all over the place. I have to admit I give her credit for picking what she did. I know she didn't want to but at least it was a dress and I knew she would make everything else on me more elegant.

It was a simple dress from Wet Seal. It was striped with two different colors of blue, one light and one dark. It would come up my thigh a little but it could have been worse. I actually liked the dress.

After Alice finished curling my hair in long spiral curls that fell down my back and put some jewelry and a shoe on me, only one shoe because of my cast, it made the dress look a lot fancier. She dragged me to a mirror and I was shocked at how elegant she made a simple dress look.

Alice told me that Jasper was picking her up, she said he needed to talk to her alone but she has someone else picking me up. She wouldn't tell me who just that I would be surprised. I hate surprises.

"Alice just tell me!"

"Nope. Jasper is here and so is your date. Bye." She walked out as someone walked in.

I suddenly lost my breath. He just smiled at me and held out his hand. I was in such shock that I just stood there. He eventually walked up to me and took my hand gently and whispered

"I have never seen you look more beautiful than you do right now." I finally got enough sense to speak.

"That's because the only time you've seen me was in a hospital." I giggled a little at my own joke and he flashed me a beautiful half smile that made me gape at him like an idiot. He just chuckled and pulled me out the door to his car. He opened the door for me and buckled me in. What a gentleman. I smiled.

I couldn't believe how unbelievably beautiful she was. Even though she was right that the only time I've seen her was in a hospital but it didn't keep me from losing my breath by only her presence.

"I'm so very lucky to be taking you out Miss Swan." She blushed a beautiful shade of red

"I was under the impression that we were all going out tonight Doctor Cullen, not just you and I.

"Well that is true but you can't blame me for wishing it was only you and I. I am very lucky tonight regardless" Did I just say that out loud?? She is going to think I am crazy!

"I disagree. I am much more lucky. How many people get to say they got to go out with Doctor Cullen?" I was relieved at her joke.

"I was under the impression that we were all going out tonight Miss Cullen, not just you and I."

She laughed softly then abruptly stopped and grabbed her sides.

"Ow" I laughed then. I couldn't help it. It wasn't really funny that she was hurting but just the sound of her laugh made me want to do the same.

"It isn't funny!" She whined.

"I know that, I am very sorry. That was inconsiderate of me." She looked around the car a minute and her eyes got huge

"This is a Vanquish! Holy crap I didn't even realize it before!"

"I guess you like it?" I was excited she knew what this car was. Most women didn't

"Are you kidding? It is beautiful! I love it!" I was thrilled.

When we pulled up at the restaurant everyone was standing outside waiting for us. I helped Bella out of the car and led her to the others and walked inside.

"Reservation for Swan. Party of six." Alice informed the host.

"Right this way madam." He seated us in a booth, which meant I could be closer to Bella.

"Here you are. You waitress will be right with you. Enjoy your meal!" We all sat. Alice, Jasper and Bella on one side and me, Rosalie and Emmett on the other. I was disappointed but I did get to sit in front of her so at least I could look directly into her beautiful brown eyes.
