Bella POV

I rolled over on my back to stare at the ceiling. I hadn't been able to sleep because I felt so bad about blowing up at Alice. I groaned and slapped myself in the head. Bells, how could you be so stupid! All she was trying to do was help! I though t as I stepped out of bed and walked to the bedroom door.I was going to go apologize to Alice right now! I walked out into the hall and down two doors to a double door room. I smiled gently, touching the door with my fingers. Alice always had to do it big. Her room was originally two rooms, but Carlisle knocked down the wall that was dividing them and made the other huge bathroom into a closet for Alice. I had so many good times running into this door when I was younger.

"Bella!Come out come out wherever you are!" a four year old pixie with black spiky hair was running around her newly remodeled room playing hide and seek with me. I was hiding in her old closet, under the pile of clothes she had given me that were too big on her frame.I tried to keep as quiet as I could because Alice has great ears. There was a short pause and then a door shut. I figured that she had went somewhere else to look for me, so I stepped out of the closet, smoothing my floral skirt and baby blue tank top. I walked towards base, which was Alice's door to her room. Right as I touched it, the doors swung open and one hit me in the face. I fell to the floor crying as my nose poured blood all over Alice's new hardwood floor.

"Bella! I so sorry! I go get daddy! He can fixes everything!" I heard her run down the hall screaming for her daddy. A second later,Carlisle came running through the door.

"Bella! Oh sweetheart are you all right?" Alice's father asked, examining my nose. I was slightly bleary eyed from the tears that fell freely from my eyes. I nodded mutely looked up at him.

"Ally didn't mean to hurt me. Her accidentally did it. Shes not in trouble, is her?"

"No sweetheart, she's not in trouble. Lets go get that nose fixed okay?" he scooped me up into his arms and took me to his study. I came back happy as ever and ready to play something else.

I smiled at the memory and knocked on her door. I heard giggling and then the door opened, revealing a slightly messy looking Alice. Her hair was in every which direction and her cheeks were flushed. She looked up at me with those huge violet orbs and I immediately felt ten times worse.

"Alice, I'm so sorry for being so mean. All you were trying to do was help. I mean I know I'm having a bad week but thats no reason to take it out on you. All you've tried to do is help and I just blow up at you like it's your fault that my father is stupid and drunk all the time. And I have absolutely no right to -," Alice put her petite hand over my mouth and silenced me.

"It's ok Bella. I know you've been having a really hard time. Forget it, it's all okay. But i have important news!" she squealed, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the room.

"Alice what's this ab- oh hi Jasper!" I changed my wording mid- sentence and smiled at Jasper.

"Heya Bell's how ya holding up?"

"FIne, just wondering what Alice here has to tell me. I wasn't interrupting anything was I ?" I looked around nervously as I waited for their response. I heard Alice laugh softly.

"No silly, we just wanted to tell you that we are now engaged!" she squeaked, jumping up and down like she was on some wierd drug. I stood stunned for a second and watched her grin fade. Now she looked at me like she was sad. "Are you not happy for me?" I felt a grin spread across my face as I looked at Jasper.

"Of course I am happy for you Ally! But I knew before you did." I looked at her expectantly.

"I know, Jazzy told me. Loser" I saw her give me a mock glare before running and jumping in my arms. I hugged her back gleefully as she cried tears of joy. I sighed contentedly. Everything was back to normal. Well about as normal as you could get when your psycho mother that you haven't seen in about 6 years decides to come get you from a place you don't wanna leave after your best friend tells her that your dad is a drunk bastard that beats you.


I was exhausted when I reached Emmett's bed, which he was currently occupying. I smiled as I took in his sleeping form. His face was blank and smooth, devoid of emotion due to the oblivion of sleep. One arm was splayed across the bed and the other was on his chest. I carefully settled myself on the bed next to him and curled up by his side. He smiled for a moment and put his arms around me,enveloping me in his warmth. I fell asleep with a contented sigh and a smile on my face.

When I woke up, it was near dinner time. Emmett was idly drawing circles on the sliver of skin that was showing due to my shirt riding up while I slept. I looked up at him and he grinned serenely at me.

"Well hello there sleepy head." he leaned down and kissed me on my forehead.

"Hi there." I was still groggy from sleeping and my voice was quiet.

"Did you sleep good?" his voice was gentle.

"Yeah, I actually slept wonderfully. What about you?" I looked up at him questioningly. He smiled softly and stroked my cheek with the tips of his fingers.

"I slept peacefully. And waking up with you by my side only made it better." I couldn't help but smile happily up at the amazing baby faced boy.

"I think I'm gonna get up and go take a- EMMM! No tickling allowed!" I giggled uncontrollably as he very gently tickled my ribs and my stomach.

"You are not allowed to get up." he growled playfully, continuing to tickle me.

"Please, I'll stay I'll stay! Just no more tickling." I gasped out through laughs and gasps. He finally ceased his tickling and wrapped his arm around my waist instead.

"I win." Emmett burrowed his face into the crook of my neck.

"But I need to go get a shower and get dressed." I complained knowing I was stuck until he decided to let me up.

"Too bad for the Bella!" he sang in my ear. I couldn't help but smile through my fake pout.

"Please Em?" I brought his face up to mine and gave him the puppy dog eyes. He looked at me and groaned. His arms loosened around my waist.

"Fine... Just hurry up!" he growled as I jumped up off of the bed. I walked into the bathroom where my bag of toiletries was and saw that Alice already had everything picked out for me. I walked over to the shower and turned it on. Then I stripped out of my clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror and groaned at the angry black marks that were covering my middle and back. Oh well. It could have been much worse if it weren't for Emmett. I thought as I stepped under the spray of the water. The warmth of it made me want to stay in there forever because my body was so sore. But,I didn't. As soon as I was clean, I stepped out of the steaming mass that the shower had become and grabbed a towel for my hair and one for my body. I dried my body off and put my bra and underwear ,that Alice had laid out, on. Then I picked up the outfit she wanted me to wear. The jeans were hip hiphuggers that looked washed out and there was a black shirt with the name Dolce & Gabanna on the front in white cursive. Of course Alice had to pick something expensive for me to wear. I slipped the jeans on,they were surprisingly comfortable, and pulled the tight shirt over my head. I sighed and threw my wet brown locks into a ponytail without brushing it. I opened the door and stepped out,only to be enveloped by strong arms.

"Em! What are you doing?" I giggled slightly and stood up on my tip toes to kiss him. His lips were gentle and urgent on mine and I smiled into the kiss. Emmett pulled away with a goofy grin on his face.

"I was hugging you Silly Bella!" Emmett laughed. He seemed a lot more joyful than normal.

"What are you so-"

"GUYS! TIME FOR DINNER!" It was Alice's bell like voice that chimed up the stairs. I groaned and untangled myself from Emmett's arms, walking towards the door. He followed suit and we descended the stairs together. The rest of the people were already seated at the table and they all smiled when we took our places at the gigantic ebony structure. They had decided to invite Jasper's parents to dinner so they too could hear the announcement. We put some food on our plates and began eating. Dinner time was filled with laughter and jokes. I couldn't stop smiling at the way Alice would look at Jasper. She had so much love and adoration for him, and he for her. Once dinner was done, Alice and Jasper stood up. Alice was grinning from ear to ear while Jasper looked around nervously. Everyone looked at the beautiful couple expectantly.

"Guys, Jasper and I have some very important news to share with you." Alice's voice sounded a little nervous. She looked at me and I smiled encouragingly.

"Well then Alice, what is it dear?" Esme looked at her daughter expectantly, a small smile playing on her lips. Jasper cleared his throat and the eyes that were watching Alice turned to him.

"Today, I asked Alice to marry me. With her fathers permission of course."he cast his gaze to the floor.

"And I accepted. Which means...IM ENGAGED!" she squealed. There was utter and complete silence.
