Alice POV

Esme looked over at me. I couldn't read minds, but I knew that she wanted to speak to me. Her eyes moved to Rosalie and then tilted her head to the hallway. She then got up and pulled Carlisle with her. They walked out the room and closed the door. A few minutes later, I asked Rosalie if she would come upstairs and model some of her new dresses for me. She quickly agreed when she saw my eyes move towards the hallway. We got up and then went out to meet Carlisle and Esme, closing the door behind us.

"Okay, Carlisle, go back in. I've already told you, tell them I am with the other trying on clothes." Esme said. He leaned over and gave her a short but meaningful kiss and when back into the living room. Esme lead us upstairs and into Rosalie's room.

"I love trying on dresses!" she exclaimed. "It's like my guilty pleasure! Because I don't have anywhere to where them…" she trailed off with a sad expression on her face.

"You should join me and Alice when we do then Mum." Rosalie said, smiling.

"Aww, thank you Rose. I will, if you don't mind that is…."

"We'd love it!" I squealed. We never spent time with our adoptive mother. This would be like 'bonding'. Esme dashed into her room and came back a few seconds later, her arms filled with dresses that neither of us had seen before.

"When did you get these?" I asked.

"Ohh, when Carlisle and I first met, he took me on a shopping trip and bought me loads of dresses." She said, smiling at the memory. Rose smiled and went into her walk-in wardrobe to get a selection of her numerous amounts of dresses. I also went to get some. As I was picking out some exotic, fun and just drop dead gorgeous ones, I heard the rest of my family talking.

"Anyone up of a hunt? I need to feed before my shift at the hospital." Carlisle said.

"Where did Rose, Alice and Esme go?" questioned Jasper.

"Do you wanna go on the xbox?" asked Emmett.

"Sure" Renesmee replied. Yay! My family was normal again. No more worry or fear, just chilling and having fun. For the moment. I knew that soon Edward's fear would arrive, and with is Bella's. I tried to put it to the back of my mind as I ran back to Rose's room. Esme was zipping Rose into a beautiful purple dress. She was wearing a lovely aqua blue dress that came up to above the knee.

"Wow. When did you get that?" I asked. She laughed.

"Carlisle bought it for me when we first when into the town. I told him my favourite colour was aqua blue, so he bought me this dress. At first I was surprised at the length, but because we are all family, I thought it would be okay if I wore it now. For the second time." She replied, with another laugh. All her worry and fear from downstairs seemed to have disappeared. I wasn't about to bring up the reason for us all coming up here, now that my mother was so happy. The happiest she had been since the scene in the meadow. I gave Rose the look so she wouldn't ruin our mother's happiness either. I quickly slipped on a peach dress with lovely feathers around the hem.

"Esme, do you want to come hunting with me and Edward?" Carlisle called up.

"I would any other time, but no thank you. I don't really want to go into the woods." She said with a shiver. I quickly complimented her to cheer her up. She was now wearing a lovely green dress with a beautiful crystal pattern on the shoulder.

"Mum, how could you keep such gorgeous things from my view?" I asked with fake hurt.

"I'm very sorry Alice." She said walking over and cupping my face in her hands like I was a child. Rose laughed as I changed my face to a sad 'puppy eyes' expression. Bella came up and asked if she could join in.

"Sure, and Renesmee can if she wants." I smiled.

"No thanks aunty Alice. I'm gunna beat Emmett at Mario brothers!" she yelled up. Bella ran out to the cottage and grabbed a few dresses. She was back in under two minutes. I grabbed my camera and started to take photos. We taught Esme some poses and we took loads of pictures. It was the most fun we had all had in ages. All was well.

Then Bella suddenly fell to the floor. I ran to grab her head and asked someone to get Edward and Carlisle. Esme was already at the door. I heard her slam the door behind her. Renesmee ran up the stairs to ask why Esme was running into the woods with her lovely green dress on. Then she saw her mum and fell to the floor in a sobbing heap. Rose was with her in a second.

"It's alright Nessie. It's alright." She said trying to soothe her. I called Jasper. He was in the room within seconds and he relieved Renesmee of her sadness and replaced it with calm. Rose took her back down to the living room.

Esme came running up the stairs.

"I couldn't find them." She sobbed. Her dress was ripped in several places and if she could, she would have been crying rivers. I could see it in her eyes. Jasper gave her a hug and soothed her worried mind. She hugged him back. Suddenly I heard Carlisle and Edward crash through the door. Carlisle came straight upstairs. Esme went downstairs with Jasper. I heard Renesmee crying. I heard Edward sobbing. I don't know what was worse. Renesmee's hysterics or Edwards load sobs. Then just as suddenly as she has fallen, Bella was standing in front of the mirror asking why Edward and Renesmee were crying. This was more confusing than we had originally thought…..
