The inside of this new house gave a much different feel than the house in Forks. The living room walls were painted a hazel color and the rest of the room followed the color scheme of different shades of brown. It was surprisingly welcoming. The whole family was eager to show Bella her new bedroom. They all lead her up the stairs to the second floor and Alice put her hands in front of Bella's eyes. When Alice moved her hands, Bella gasped.
The room was large and done up entirely in light purple. The room consisted of a little purple bed, a TV, three purple shelves of children books, an assortment of toys and stuffed animals, and perched in the window sill sat Eddie the Bunny.
"Eddie!" Bella ran over to Eddie and picked him up. Rosalie asked,
"Do you like your new room?" Bella nodded shyly. Alice asked hopefully,
"Do you want to see your closet?" Bella replied,
"Not really." Alice frowned but everyone else laughed. Bella yawned and Emmett walked over asked,
"You tired, girly?"
"Nope," she lied. Unfortunately her blush gave it away.
"Mmm. Why don't we go downstairs and get you some dinner and then get you into bed?"
"I guess, Daddy."
"Alright then. Come on," he held out his hand and Bella took it. They walked downstairs and Bella was surprised at how big and open there new white kitchen was. Emmett helped Bella climb up onto one of the big white kitchen chairs at the kitchen table.
"What would you like for dinner?" She replied,
"Grilled cheese." So that's what she had for dinner. While she ate Emmett told her all about how much fun she would have starting pre-school tomorrow,
"...and Edward's gonna stay with you all day." Bella's eyes lit up at that.
"Really? He is?"
"Yeah I am," Edward appeared at the kitchen doorway. "I'm going to stay with you all day for your first day." Bella jumped down from her chair and ran over to him. He picked her up and she hugged him tight.
"Yay!" Most of Bella's nerves wiped away. She didn't need to worry because she wouldn't be alone.
After that, Emmett gave Bella a bath and put her in a pair of butterfly pajamas. He laid her in bed and picked up the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. He read a little before saying,
"Here, you try." He handed Bella the book and she began where he left off,
"W-w-why are t-t-th-ey s-sad and g-glad and bad? I d-d-do n-n-ot know. Go a-a-as-s-ask your dad." She continued reading, sounding out most of the words. She would occasionally have to stop and ask Emmett to help her but other than that she read most of it on her own. When she was finished Emmett took the book and cheered,
"Good job! You did great Bella!" She blushed and murmured,
"Thank you." Emmett kissed her forehead and said,
"Good night, girly. Get some sleep, you have a big day ahead of you tomorrow."
"'Night Daddy."
Despite her nerves about preschool and her unfamiliarity with her new bedroom, she managed to get some sleep.
"Wake up, baby," Rosalie gently shook Bella. Bella groaned,
"No..." Rosalie chuckled and said,
"Yes, honey. You gotta get up so we can get you ready for school." Bella suddenly sat up,
"School? Oh yeah." Rosalie smiled and said,
"Come on." Rosalie helped give Bella a bath and then dressed her in a white t-shirt with a sparkly yellow star on it, a pair of blue jeans, and yellow shoes. Rosalie then brushed Bella's hair before asking if Bella wanted her hair up which Bella declined. So they went downstairs and Bella had a bowl of cereal while Alice snapped tons of pictures. After awhile Bella noticed everyone was staring at her.
"What?" She asked. Esme said,
"Oh nothing, honey. This is just a big day." Bella sighed and finished eating. Once she was done Alice brought out Bella's new backpack. It was little and pink with colorful butterflies and flowers on it. Alice then had Bella stand by the door while she took lots of Bella. Then they all took turns taking pictures with a blushing Bella until I was time for Bella and Edward to leave. They were about to leave when Bella yelled,
"Wait!"
"What?" Edward asked. Bella ran up stairs and grabbed Eddie the Bunny before running back downstairs. She said sternly,
"Eddie's going to school too." Edward laughed and they got in his car and headed to Endicott Preschool.
The school was an old grey building that looked very drab which made the large and colorful playground stick out like a sore thumb. Edward parked in the small parking lot and walked around to the other side to open Bella's door. She didn't move. He said,
"Come on, Bella." Still, she didn't move. He smiled a little and said, "Don't worry Bella, it'll be fine."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Finally she got out of the car and took his hand. They walked into the school and down a white hallway into a classroom. The classroom was large with lots of little tables and toys and a huge chalkboard. A short lady with red hair dressed in pastels came over to them and said in a cheery tone,
"Welcome to preschool! I'm Miss Tufter and who are you?"
"Bella," she answered in a small voice and then said, "This is Edward."
"Well hello! You two can sit down and class will start shortly." So the day began...
