I don't own anything Twilight related. That doesn't mean that I don't wish.
All last night and the early hours of the morning I have been working on the new nursery and turning the guest bedroom into Johnny and Lucy's new room. I couldn't do a whole lot but I did get a pretty good start. I still have to finish looking through the internet and make some calls about baby things. The twins have been working on their own on the projects that they have started. When the first signs of daylight came around I quickly went to my bathroom and took a quick shower to get any paint residue off of my skin. Once I was thoroughly cleaned I slipped back into the bedroom and put on the dress that was laid out for me. "I wonder if we will be matching today". I thought to no one in particular, of course I got a reply though. "Why of course we were the hit of the school although people were too intimidated to approach us!" Tulip was just a little too happy about the attention that we were receiving.
Once I was dressed in a black and white dotted dress that flowed easily to my knees, and had a dark red rose attached to the neck, I was ready. Of course Tulip shot down that idea right away. She came rushing in my room obviously hearing my thoughts that I was finished. "You are not finished yet, I haven't added your special touches yet", I didn't even realize that she was all ready in her matching dress. We also had on matching black two inch Stiletto's, she knew that I don't like heals so she didn't make me wear them that much. I was just happy that I was given good grace in this life.
One hour later she called it her master piece. She had p my hair in a very elegant way, and worked only about ten minutes on my makeup. She had said to me years ago that I was a natural beauty it just takes time because the look has to work with the color f the dress and the hair style. She curled my hair in long ringlets and tied it up on top and let a free curls hang down on the sides of my face. She always knows how to make me feel beautiful. "You are most certainly welcome, mom". I smiled at her.
We quickly ran down the stairs and I grabbed the children's lunch bags that I prepared the night before. I didn't even try to get them to carry themselves; it would end up in the trash "missing". So I packed up the books and lunches and met them both at the front door. Andrew was yet again dressed like himself, and I am pretty sure that even if they couldn't read my mind they could feel the pride rolling off me in waves. Andrew was dressed in a new pair of designer dress pants, and had on a white dress shirt with a black button pea coat; it looks like we were all matching outfits again. I didn't even notice the camera until Tulip announced we have to get new pictures of the family.
Twenty minutes worth of pictures, and a thirty minute drive to school, we arrived. We took a spot near the back noticing that we were almost going to be late if we didn't speed walk to class now. Andrew quickly linked arms with me and Tulip and marched us off towards Tulips first class. She quickly kissed my cheek and headed into the classroom where people were obviously open mouthed gawking at her outfit. I was just glad that most people seemed to already be in class, so we didn't receive much stares.
Once Andrew dropped me off at my classroom and kissed my cheek he headed off towards his first class also. Once I walked in I was surprised to see my supposed to be empty two seated table was filled with Alice Cullen.
She looked at me hopefully, I knew she was going to try and talk to me. Once I took my seat she immediately started. "Bella, you look amazing today", she exclaimed happily. "Tulip, likes to pick out our outfits for the day", I told her in a calm voice, I was worried of what she was going to say. I was right. She took both of my hands in hers and squeezed them together, making me look at her "Bella you were always my sister no matter what happened with Edward, we both love you deeply, I love you, my sister", she said in a hopeful voice. Oh hell, I thought tiredly. Of course Andrew and Tulip did not approve of my language replying in unison with, "Language please". Alice looked around confusedly, I replied in my mind. "Welcome to the family, you can now hear all of our thoughts", I replied dryly, how many more were going to throw their love at us?
Alice had of fun testing out her new mind reading skills; I learned that apparently Edward couldn't hear Emmett's mind, so maybe he couldn't hear us, which made me happy. Of course Alice was not happy with my line of thinking and quickly switched her thoughts to Edward's miserable times apart, and Edward in his room sobbing. This lessened that thought.
At the end of class I packed up my books and waited in my seat, Alice was already confused. "I am waiting for Andrew". Just then Andrew came through the door of the classroom and picked up my book bag and slung it over his shoulder while linking arms with me. Alice was truly confused Andrew decided to answer her "Every lady should be escorted no matter what, where is your brother or husband"? Andrew found out a lot about Alice in the last hour, but now he was confused as to why nobody was picking Alice up. "Andrew, sweetie, that is a bit old fashioned and people rarely do that anymore", I replied sadly. He quickly linked arms with Alice and replied "Well no wonder the crime rate statistics keep rising", he said angrily. We dropped Alice off at her class, and went to go and pick up a giggling Tulip. "That was hilarious", she managed to choke out while Andrew still looked very distraught.
Our next couple of classes went by without a breeze I could see that it was only Alice that had switched classes to be with me, and I was grateful, one new mind was enough for me. Finally the lunch bell rang and Andrew and Tulip came and collected me and headed to our lunch table, everybody again was giving us jealous looks or lust looks that were coming from almost everybody, we were all quite grossed out. We were getting two calls from the Cullen table to come and sit with them, but I replied with a quick we have stuff to get done.
Once at the table I pulled out the children's lunches and we quickly had our small grace. Once they were done eating they pulled out their books while I pulled out my laptop. I spent the next twenty minutes ordering nursery supplies and a new bedroom linens for Johnny and Lucy's new bedroom. I started hearing a panicked voice in my mind and I looked up to see Andrew digging through his book bag with at least ten different books thrown around the lunch table, I was immediately on alert. "Sweetheart what's wrong"? "I can't find it", he sounded as panicked as I was getting, I quickly searched his mind and found that he had finished his book and he thought that he had put the sequel to it in his backpack, but can't find it. I was instantly relieved, I knew that I packed this book. I quickly pulled out my backpack and took out the book and handed it to him, he looked so happy that I just couldn't hold back my own smile. He quickly kissed my cheek, and replied with a "Thanks mom", and carried on reading. I decided that I should get carried on with my work because it has been a couple of day now, and it was starting to build up. I was now hearing worried thoughts of Alice and Emmett "Are you having money problems?" "Do you need money?" I almost started laughing at them. I turned towards their table and noticed that they were all staring at us with rapt attention. A giggle escaped my lips, and I replied with my mind while looking at Alice "Would you two calm down, someone has to pay the bills", I exclaimed exasperated. The twins were too engrossed in their books to even notice our small exchange.
Once lunch ended Andrew quickly took our bags and linked arms with both of us as we excited the cafeteria. He dropped Tulip off at her class first, and walked me to biology. Before he left he was obviously struggling for words "thanks again for lunch, I could have sworn that I packed it", he was obviously beating himself up over this. "Calm down honey, it's not like it hasn't happened before, and just call it a mothers intuition, I had a good feeling that you were forgetting something this morning so I did a quick search and found the book that you had lined up next to read. You just didn't expect to finish the first this morning", I replied calmly. "Thanks again mom", he quickly kissed my cheek and left me in the front of my classroom. I was receiving some 'awes' from Emmett and Alice. "Well geez you two, did you enjoy the show, Mr. and Mrs. Eavesdropper"? Emmett laughed loudly while Alice couldn't contain her giggles; this brought a smile to my face.
Edward was looking at me confusedly again and I told him simply in a whisper "listen to Emmett and Alice's teachers". This brought a smile to his face. "I crack one joke and Emmett ends up in detention for disrupting class, who would have known", I replied trying not to laugh. I could hear Alice's mind encouraging me "Go ahead Bella don't be shy you two both love each other, and you both know it", she was getting a bit ahead of herself when she started making plans for the wedding. "Not happening Alice, rethink it" "Oh it's going to happen just you wait". I narrowed my eyes at the front of the classroom, not happy. "Bella", I heard my name being called from Edward and turned to look at him questioningly. "Yes", I replied. "I was wondering if you would like to come over tonight, or I can come over to your house or something so we can talk, please. He sounded so nervous like he was asking me out on a date and I also noticed he was playing with the hem of his shirt too. I was hearing some laughing down the hall and recognized it as Emmett's again this time he received another detention. "This whole mindreading thingy isn't going to work if you keep making me laugh so hard", he pouted. I couldn't contain my smile at his childishness. "Sure Edward", I replied trying to hold in my own laughter.
The class passed by quickly all the while Edward staring at me with what I identified as longing, and love. I wouldn't give him the acknowledgment that I realized I knew that he was staring at me because the first two times I caught him he looked embarrassed. When the bell rang I packed up my books and waited in my seat for Andrew and Tulip. "So I'll see you tonight then", he asked happily. "Yep", I replied calmly. When and Andrew and Tulip cam in could see the giddy smile on Tulips face but the narrowed eyes on Andrew that were pointed straight to Edward, I could hear his thoughts "he is just going to hurt her again, I don't like this guy". I replied with a simple "Calm down Andrew I mean it, please", I gave him my best pout. "Let's go", he replied unperturbedly. Now I just had to go finish my last class and then go home and finish my work for the day. Lastly, I would have to have a very imperative talk with the father of my children.
I am sorry that this reply took so long, I just didn't think this all the way through, I just wrote what I though fit best. Thanks for the reviews peeps! LOL ;)
