I stretched and rolled over onto my side; this bed was definitely the comfiest I had ever slept in. I sleepily opened one eye to see if my eye would focus enough to be able to read the time. Thankfully my eye co-operated; it was just coming up to nine so I had slept for about four hours. I moved out of my bed and went into the bathroom to do my morning routine and get ready to start my day. I was very excited that in a few hours Peter and Charlotte would be arriving.

Once I had got ready I was definitely feeling more awake and was hungry so I decided that the kitchen would be the best direction to head.

"Good morning Bella, did you sleep well?" Esme asked as I entered the room.

"Yeah I slept great." I told her with a smile. "I'm feeling hungry though so I'm just going to fix myself some breakfast."

"Do you need any help?"

"No it's ok Esme I'm only going to have a bowl of cereal, maybe some toast and some juice so there's no need." I told her. "Where is everyone?" It suddenly occurred to me that no one was around besides Esme.

"Well Carlisle has a shift at the hospital, Rosalie and Alice have gone shopping and the boys have gone hunting." She told me. "Emmett and Jasper took Edward out when you released him from the wall before you went to bed; they are going to try and talk some sense into that boy." I loved how whenever Esme spoke of her family there was nothing but pure love in her eyes; even when you could tell that she was annoyed, as she was with Edward at the moment, all other visible emotions were overshadowed by her love.

"Esme seen as it's such a beautiful morning would you like to sit out on the deck with me whilst I have my breakfast?" I asked her.

"I would enjoy nothing more my dear." Her face shone at the invitation. Esme was just like me in the sense that it was the little things that we appreciated, the simple act of me asking her to sit outside with me meant more to her than if I had bought her jewellery. I think deep down Esme is like me in that we appreciate it because it is a way of showing love and acceptance; the memory of time spent together is to be cherished greater than any trinket; time spent together is very precious and should be treated as such.

It was later in the early afternoon that the others started trickling back home. First home was Carlisle.

"Good afternoon how are you today Bella?" Carlisle asked as he saw me sat in the arm chair reading a book.

"I'm good Carlisle, thanks." I told him. "I hope you don't mind but I went into your study whilst you were out and borrowed one of your books."

"Of course not Bella you are welcome to read any that are in there. You should speak to Jasper when he gets back because he too has quite the collection of books in his study." I nodded in agreement to his suggestion just as Esme walked into the room; it was obvious by her clothes that she had been gardening.

"Carlisle what are you doing home so early?" she asked. "I was not expecting you until this evening."

"I swapped some things around so that I could be here when our guests arrive later." He told her. We chatted for a few more minutes before they both excused themselves to go and get changed. Whilst they were gone I went into the kitchen to warm myself up some more blood. I warmed the last of it up and made a mental note to ask Emmett to go and get me some more when he got back.

It was whilst I was sat back reading, drinking my blood that the boys returned from their hunt.

"BELLA!" Emmett bellowed as he entered the house; he made me jumped nearly causing me to spill my drink.

"Emmett inside voice only please." Esme spoke from upstairs.

"Sorry Mom." Replied a very sheepish Emmett.

"What's up Emmett?" I asked him.

"Oh yeah I just thought I'd tell you I got some more blood for you whilst I was out." He told me holding up two large bottles. "I noticed last night you were not going to have enough to last you past today."

"Aww Emmett thank you." I got up and gave him a hug. "I was going to ask you actually because I'm just drinking the last bit of it now." I took my seat again as Emmett quickly took the blood into the kitchen and returned back. I noticed that as Emmett and Jasper made their way into the living room and got settled Edward just hovered around the door as if he was not sure what to do. I decided to just leave him to his own devices; until he could act like an adult and face me with an apology for his behaviour I was not going to acknowledge him.

"Hey Jasper I was talking to Carlisle earlier and he says I should raid your study for books, is that ok with you?" I asked Jasper as he and Emmett situated themselves on the couch preparing to play a video game.

"Yes that's fine Bella; just go in any time that you wish."

"Thank you I just may do that." I told him with a big yawn. "Now if nobody minds I'm just going to take a little nap on the couch for an hour or two then I can have my lunch now these two have had theirs." I told them rubbing my stomach.

"Should we mute the TV for you Bella?" Emmett asked.

"No Em, its fine I promise you once I close my eyes I won't hear a peep." I told him as I stretched out on the couch and snuggled down.

I woke up about two hours later; whilst I was sleeping someone had covered me with a blanket. I could hear Alice talking excitedly in the way only Alice could; it reminded me a lot of humming bird's wings, too fast to fully hear it for what it was. As I sat up and disentangled myself from the blankets Alice squealed.

"Jeez Alice, vampire like hearing now remember, there's just no need for so many decibels." I told her as I held my hands over my ears and shook my head to try and stop the ringing noise.

"I'm sorry Bella! I just got so excited that you're awake! Look at all the wonderful things I bought you whilst I was out!" she said without taking a breath. At it finally registering what she had said I took a look at the floor to find it piled high with shopping bags.

"Alice what have you done?" I was very annoyed now.

"Well I bought you a load of maternity clothes. That way you won't have to keep wearing Jaspers sweats." She told me. She either didn't notice my mood or was ignoring it; Jasper certainly noticed and as he was about to say something I shook my head to tell him to keep quiet. I then shielded myself from his power; I did not want my mood to be influenced. Alice did not notice mine and Jaspers silent exchange and carried on chatting about the shopping. "And just look at this dress, it's so pretty, you will look beautiful in it."

"Alice!" I shouted to get her attention. "I will say this only once, so listen to me and no arguing either. Take it all back; I do not want it so return it to whatever god forsaken designer bump shop you bought it from."

"But Bella..." she went to argue but was interrupted.

"Take them back Alice right now! If Bella does not want them you will not force them on her, argue with her about it or try and guilt trip her into taking them. Take them back and let Bella decide what she wants to wear, when she wants to buy them, and from where she wants to buy them from; if she wants to spend the whole time that she is pregnant in Jaspers sweats then she will. Just take it all back!" Edward told her whilst glaring at her.

I was shocked! Edward just stood up for my choice in clothes to Alice! Edward was fighting for my right to have a choice! I was in the Twilight zone. I decided to be adult about this.

"Who are you and what have you done with Edward Cullen?" I asked with a serious face. "The entire time we were going out you were always on Alice's side when it came to clothes; she clicked her fingers and you delivered me to hell."

"Oh come on Bella! Hell? Seriously? It's fun to shop and have makeovers!" Alice interrupted before Edward could speak.

"No Alice not to me it isn't. I don't care what I look like, I like to wear clothes that are comfy; I buy clothes for comfort, not to worry about what I look like or to show off to people how much money I have. I hate shopping and I hate makeovers. If you don't like how I look don't look at me!" I think it was obvious by my rant and my breathing that I was angry and getting worked up.

"I'm sorry I never stood up for you before now Bella." Edward returned the favour and interrupted Alice before she could say anything to make me more upset. "You've given me a lot to think about during the short time that you have been here. I know I have always acted too controlling towards you, and always let others have their way without even contemplating discussing it with you first. I am truly sorry for that and my only defence is that I love you so much that I was just always trying to do what I thought was best for you and I'm so so sorry, I just hope that one day you can forgive me."

"Thank you for your apology Edward, I am glad that you can now see what was always wrong with our relationship." I told him. "Now if no one minds I am hungry so I am going to go and make myself some lunch." As I walked past Edward I gave him a small smile to show him I was willing to try if he was; I took his bright answering smile as a yes. I decided to heat a tin of soup for my lunch; whilst my soup was heating I buttered a couple of brad rolls to go with it. I sat at the breakfast bar and listened to the rustling and whispering going on in the living room. It seems Rose had warned Alice that I was not going to be happy; as usual though Alice had thought she knew best. It was decided that the bags would be hidden in Alice's car so as not to upset me; as soon as Peter and Charlotte arrived and greetings were over with Alice was to return everything.

Just as I was drying my hands after washing my dishes there was the sound of a car coming up the driveway; it was time, Peter and Charlotte were here. I quickly made my way back through the house and saw everyone getting ready to greet our guests. I decided to ignore them as I walked straight out the front door and down the porch steps. The car pulled up in front of the house and was quickly exited by Peter and Charlotte. I walked straight up to them and gave each of them in turn a big hug.

"Wow Big Mamma, you're more beautiful than Peter described!" Charlotte told me as she lovingly touched my belly.

"Yeah right Char compared to you lot that's not even possible." I told her laughing. "Petey what exactly have you been telling her about me?"

"Only the good stuff I promise." Peter said laughing. He and Charlotte then made their way over to greet the family before we all moved back into the house.

After all the pleasantries were exchanged and a little catch up Peter turned to Jasper.

"Brother me and you need to talk." Peter told Jasper.

"Whenever you want to is fine by me." Jasper told him.

"Actually Peter I think we need to talk first." I told him. "In private."

"That's fine by me. When were you thinking?" He asked.

"Well how about you and Char accompany me to do some shopping? Apparently I need some clothes so now would be perfect." I couldn't help my little dig at Alice; I was still upset with the whole situation.

"That's fine with us." Peter told me; Charlotte nodded in agreement. I got up from the couch and picked up my purse from where I left it when I first arrived and made my way to the front door.

"Bella do you need any money?" Edward asked.

"No I am fine thank you." I told him as I headed to Peter and Charlottes rental with them close behind me. I figured it would kill two birds with one stone; I could get my clothes and have a private conversation without a bunch of nosy intrusive vampires being around.
