Sorry for the wait of an update I actually dedicated and wrote this chapter in a day but my mum barred my laptop for a week so I couldn't upload it, but here it is and I hope you enjoy it 11 will be up soon.

Chapter Ten - Mummy You're A Vampire Too?!
I woke up the next morning to the sound of birds chirping outside my bedroom window, I could definitely get used to this I thought to myself. Then all of last nights memories came flooding back, the worst being karaoke by far. I can't believe I sang in front of Edward's family, oh god I hope they'll forget and pass it off as a Meredith thing.
I got up and went into the bathroom, I cleaned my teeth whilst waiting for the shower water to heat up. Then I got in the shower and washed my hair adding the hair mask that is 98p per sachet in Boots (an: or it is where I live) I finished my shower after about 5 minutes and walked out of the bathroom, I walked back to my bedroom to find some clothes. I decided on; a brown flowery dress to your hips, white jeans, my light brown belt, my dark brown handbag since I knew me and Esme were going shopping for me and Edward's room when we move into it and my brown and cream suede high heels.
I then walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to get my breakfast, I had scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam today, an English tradition at it's yummiest (an : sorry personal opinion plus I just had scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam and it was really nice). I then went into the downstairs bathroom and did my make up; liquid eye liner in bronze to go with my brown, cream eye shadow, curled my eye lashes and put on a coat of light brown mascara, a lick of high shine lip gloss and a squirt of something that keeps your make up on and I was done with the make up. Then I put my hair into a messy bun and added a light brown hair flower clip to the side of my hair.
After I had finished in the bathroom I walked into the gold living room where everyone was sat talking, they smiled as I walked in.
"Good morning Bella how did you sleep" Came from Esme, the motherly kind figure that I had grown more close with last night through conversation than anyone else in the room or at least anyone else in the family.
"I slept good thanks" I answered with a smile as my mother taught me too to be polite, and as I was taught to be a lady in Meredith school.
"That's good since we want an early start today so if you want to go and grab your bag then we can set off, we'll have a nice chat whilst we're walking around ok?"
"Yeah that's fine just let me grab my bag" I ran back upstairs and grabbed my bag shoving my phone in there and my camera as well as my purse, and at the last minute grabbing a beige jacket on the way out of the door.
When I got down the stairs I found Esme in a pretty pink floaty dress, white to the knees leggings, white pumps, pale pink - to match the dress - leg warmers, a long white beaded necklace and bangle, a pretty white bag and a matching cropped jacket. She really could flaunt it, she kissed her husband swiftly on the lips before taking some car keys of the rack and waved her hand motioning for me to follow. I did and before I knew it we were stood outside a black Mercedes.
"Get on in" she said getting in herself the other side, I smiled only with the vampire royal family would I ever get to be in a black Mercedes. I got on in an she turned off the radio, as we drove past the house Carlisle waved at us and we waved back, Carlisle was nice too, fatherly, as Esme was motherly. They really were perfect together.
After that we played 20 questions, and generally caught up on each other's lives and then before I knew it we were in central London and parked, time really does fly by sometimes! We walked slowly from shop to shop finding nice things but nothing that said 'pick me' until I found a wood work shop, Esme was in a shop across the street looking at something so I went on over as she said she would meet me in there. It was an old shop ran by an even older man probably in his late 80's and the wood was carved so perfectly I could probably spend a fortune, but I knew that we only needed certain things for the suite.
"Can I help you?" The old man asked politely.
"Yes you probably can, I'd like some furniture for a suite, but I only need certain things. I have a list if that helps"
"Yes that sure does young lady now what's on that list of yours that I can help you with"
"Well I need quite a few photo frames that preferably look quite similar, a couple of vases, some book shelves, 3 like coffee tables, a kitchen table, some place mats, fruit bowls, bedside tables and a TV unit that could also hold some DVD's"
"Well little lady I'm sure I can sort you out with a few things. Have a catalogue as well and here have a look around your free to do whatever you like in this world, so have a browse and see if you see anything that takes your fancy."
"Thank you" I answered truthfully I started to have a look around and seen some really nice things, then Esme walked in and smiled at the sight.
"This is a lovely shop Bella it has some nice wooden things in it, I like some bits for my home!"
"I know right look at these" I showed her the wooden picture frames I liked "and these," I gave her the wooden and foresty pine smelling candles I liked that were a greeny colour and she liked them. "ooh and these" I gave her the wooden spiralling vases I loved, "and I just love this coffee table, these place mats are really nice and I love this bowl. Also come and see these bookcases, and this table don't you just think it's absolutely beautiful. Also I found the perfect filing cabinet . . ."
After about an hour in the wood work shop and Esme loving everything I liked and me liking and helping her pick out things for her own home, we left paying for everything and getting some guards to drive it back home for us. Then we went in and got some green paint in several different shades, and brown paint, I also found a leaf stencil and a pot of gold paint, we also found some lovely candle holders for our candles and tea lights. We also got some cushions and some folders and files. It was really nice and the room was going to be really nice by the time we're done, it was also nice spending some one-on-one time with Esme.
"Now Bella you have a choice, Rosalie and Alice want to take you shopping for everything concerning the wedding, you can either go with them and have no say in it at all go to about 50 stores to get what you wanted in the 1st store anyway your feet killing you and extremely hungry by the end. Or you can come shopping with me, face Alice and Rosalie trying to make you feel guilty and them trying to take you shopping at any other point, but you will choose what you want for your own wedding and even those two won't get to see the dress to the day of, and you'll get to do your own make-up and everyone will think it's funny. So what d'ya reckon?" I didn't even have to think think twice.
"I think I'll go shopping with you." Esme laughed,
"I quite agree with you may I ask why though Alice and Rose can be very persuasive and usually get their own way with others"
"Because I have always wanted to plan my own wedding, to be able to go shopping for the gifts for the bridesmaids, and taste all the cakes in the cake shop and take half an hour to decide, to try on loads of dresses and to giggle embarrassed at the nearly non-existent lingerie in the La Senza. I've always been fascinated with weddings and used to plan mine that changed everyday since I was ten, my mum used to say it was stupid, no use, but it was special to me. I even started to watch wedding TV instead of cartoons at the age of 11, it's just a stupid dream I guess when you face a reality like this." I said opening my arms and motioning to the mansion we had just pulled up to. "But it's MY dream. Is it really too hard to understand, to my mum and Jade they thought they ruled my life, and they did. Why me Esme, what did I ever do?" I was begging now, pleading like the child I'd always been punished for acting like.
Esme looked like if she could cry, at that moment she'd of been in tears. "I don't know Bella, I honestly don't know. I don't know why your mum and Jade tried to rule your life, I don't know what you ever did wrong honey. But wanting to plan your own wedding at the age of ten isn't stupid Bella, it's natural and it's something everyone wishes to happen which means a lot of money Bella. Which is something this family has, you mean a lot to us Bella, you ask for it and it's yours understand? I don't want none of this looking at prices either."
"I won't" I whispered since I wasn't capable of much else. Esme smiled and we both hugged, me in tears and her dry sobbing until Carlisle came out.
"Girls your taking ages did you . . . ." Carlisle trailed off as he seen us, and a face of sympathy and guilt clouded his usual good looking features. It was then that we stopped hugging but neither of us could stop the crying, by now the rest of the family were outside and looking at us with the same expressions as Carlisle.
"I feel like I'm intruding and extremely left out, Rose we should start crying too." Alice announced, everyone laughed at that but it was a nervous laugh unlike before.
"Can I ask why we're all crying?" Asked Emmett in what was supposed to be a whisper but came out as more of a normal voice that earned him a slap round the head from Rose.
"Bella and me were just talking that's all." Said Esme "And yes Carlisle we got some lovely things didn't we Bella?"
"Yeah" I said wiping away my tears, it was embarrassing with everyone looking at me.
"Right inside now girls and guys Bella has to eat and I'm going to have a shower I think. Come on let's get moving" Esme all but picked them up and carried them in, I smiled at that a proper smile one that hadn't been out for a while.
"Bella why don't you get a sandwich or whatever, and come and eat it in my office since I have something to discuss with you." Edward looked up and almost asked instead of saying.
"Of course" I replied, I wasn't going to be rude since he was being perfectly nice to me and hadn't been mean or cruel since I got here.
"Thank you" Edward replied looking quite relieved. Like he thought I may have rejected him, I am not a mean person. I wouldn't do that sort of thing.
I walked inside with Edward and whilst he went to his office I went into the kitchen, since everyone was out I grabbed myself a ham and cheese sandwich and a packet of crisps. Then I poured myself a glass of water and walked to Edward's office, I sat down and got comfy in one of his chairs and started to eat my sandwich. He looked up as he had obviously heard me and smiled, I was only eating strange vampire or person.
"So I just wanted you to know since you probably don't that your mum's a vampire too, not only that but she is also the ex queen of vampires she gave up the throne to my father after she gave birth to you since you were human and she didn't want to put your life at risk because of all the human feeding vampires. So yeah thought I'd be blunt and obvious with you since I'm pretty sure you can take it unlike other pathetic girls, I'm sure we've both met before" We both nodded then.
I was shocked though it explained why mum got on with Jade better because they were both vampires. But we used to talk about everything, me and mum, if Jade could tell me she was a vampire then why couldn't mum, was she scared as to what I would think? Well I don't know, maybe that's why she liked to see me in pain. Because it's how she felt around me, it couldn't be could it?
"Bella, I think very highly of you and would never want to hurt you but could you please just not irritate me. I stand here very worried about you, I cannot read your thoughts and you just sit there looking shocked/hurt/abused/guilty/ashamed/in thought. What am I supposed to do?" Edward exclaimed beautifully. Wait, do I have feelings for this guy? The answer I think scared me more than the question did,
Yes. I do like Edward Mason as more than a friend, god that really is scary because in a million years (no exaggeration) he still wouldn't feel the same way about me. His father's shoved me with him because of whatever and then he'll find his soul mate and I'll be the one who gets hurt.
"I'm sorry Edward I have to go now and umm tidy my room. Bye Bye" I whispered shaking violently, Edward looked at me with the most pained and hurt expression I have ever seen on somebody in my life, he didn't question me though so I shook all the way to my room and broke down crying uncontrollably on my bed. He's going to find and love someone else, and I'm going to be the reason he has to give her up or he may even start to hurt me maybe even kill me so he can get his girl, why me you stupid mother and Jade why me what did I ever do to you selfish brats.
Right I need to sort this out, I thought, first thing tomorrow morning I will sort everything out. I will say everything needed and may even speak to Esme for a bit more, maybe we can go wedding shopping. That'd be fun, and give us time to talk and spend together. I'll ask her tomorrow. But for now I need to get ready for bed in case someone finds me upset.
I got undressed and into my PJ's and watched twilight for the 13th time, cleaned my teeth and went to bed for an early night. That's enough for one day in the life of Bella Swan.
Well there you are number 10, so tell me what you thought please, in any way can I make it better and I will give you the next chapter title as a kind of sneak peak,
Operation Save the Wedding
There it is so tell me what you think, since it's the next chapter is the chapter Edward and Bella confess their love for each other it's also the Arrival Ball for Bella's arrival to the castle.
