Last time...

They nodded before we were off to the palace, off to see the love of my life.

Alice (A) POV

I sat in the car, staring blankly out the window as Jasper drove Edward and I to the Ball. I hoped that Bella would forgive us, I can't imagine the pain that she went through when we left, and to top it all off she became all of this. You know I think it would be amazing to be princess and do all that extravagant stuff, to have people do everything for me, but that's me. Bella has never liked that, and now she's forced into all this, I mean I bet this ball wasn't her idea either. I'm sure she probably flipped out when the sisters mentioned dancing. I sighed before we pulled into the long drive way of the palace.

I glanced at Jasper and he gave me a reassuring smile before I looked back at Edward, he was worried that much I could see on his face. But I knew my brother, he was going to find away to fix this, he had too. I put my hands on my dress and looked at Jasper once more as he pulled the car up to the front door. He smiled at me as he and Edward got out of the car. Jasper walked over and opened my door with a smile. I grinned at him as he helped me from the car before I smiled at the man in the black tux, smiling at us.

"Welcome to the Palace." He said with a grin.

I smiled at him as Jasper, Edward and I began to walk up the stairs toward's the Palace doors. They opened for us and we stepped into the beautiful hallway. We had been in it just yesterday, but it was different now. Now it was painted in a soft warm light from candles that led to one room, I'm guessing the ball room. I smiled at Jasper before I grabbed his arm and walked with him towards the door.

Inside was amazing, it was well lit with a double staircase descending into the room, soft music played on the instruments as the musicians warmed up. There where people dancing but there was also a section where the tables and buffet was set up. I smiled as the rest of my family walked in.

"Wow when they throw a party, they go all out don't they?" Emmett asked, looking around.

"I think its...Magical." Rosalie said with a smile as her arms wrapped around Emmett's.

"Do you want to dance?" Emmett asked holding out his hand, I swear he can be such a charming man sometimes.

She smiled and took his hand before he led her to the dance floor. I smiled as Jasper glanced at me.

"How about we show them how to dance?" Jasper asked.

I giggled at him and took his outstretched hand. I stopped and looked at Edward.

"Good luck Edward." I whispered.

He nodded before I ran out to the dance floor with Jasper. I smiled as he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him, before I put my arms around his neck. He smiled and looked down into my eyes. I stared into his big round pools of topaz, and remembered why I loved him, I gazed deeply into them, not even trying to look away. I know it sounds cheesy, but how could I? The man of my dreams, so to speak, was standing right in front of me, staring into my eyes. I smiled as he bent down and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

"Ladies and gentle men. Her royal highness Queen Paige Amalea Halliwell."

I turned and watched as Paige walked down the double staircase, her white gown trailing slowly behind her.

"Her royal highness Queen Phoebe Destiny Halliwell."

Phoebe came down next smiling into the crowd, I glanced at Edward, Bella would be coming up soon.

"They're royal highness's Queen Piper Marie Halliwell-Wyatt and King Leonard Christopher Wyatt."

I turned back and watched as Piper and Leo walked down the stairs. They smiled warmly and followed the first two sisters to the stage.

"Ladies and Gentle men, we have a very important announcement to make. As you all know Christopher..." Leo started before he was cut off by the crowd around us.

"King Christopher, may he rest in peace."

Leo and Piper glanced at each other before they gave each other a sad smile.

"Anyway, we all know he had a daughter, and she has come back to Atlantis. So please give a warm welcome to my granddaughter. Princess Isabella Marie Halliwell." Leo said with a loving smile as the balcony doors to the double staircase opened.

I gasped as Bella walked out of the doors, smiling as she gave the Miss America wave on top of the staircase. She was stunning! She had her hair down in soft curls and make up that accented her face, it wasn't too light, but it wasn't too heavy either, it was perfect for her. She had on white gloves that went up to her elbows and a gorgeous halter top blue dress. The blue straps wrapped around her neck with a small diamond shaped hole just below the straps. The top came to just above her breast and hugged her sides until it got to her hips before it bowed out with different types of fabric. It looked like there where three layers to the bottom of her dress. I smiled proudly at her, I had taught her well.

She walked gracefully down the stairs and gave a warm smile to everyone before looking at her grandfather her smiled lovingly at her before offering her his hand. She smiled before she placed her hand in his. He smiled before leading her to the dance floor. I smiled as I watched the two of them, she was just so graceful, so amazing. I was a little shocked that this was the Bella we all knew so well.

"Everyone loves her, and they barely know her." Jasper whispered in my ear.

I smiled at him and looked at Edward. He stared at her, love in his eyes before he walked over to the band and smiled at them. He handed them a piece of paper and they looked at it before smiling at him and nodding. He quickly thanked them before walking towards Bella and Edward, I sucked in a breath before I noticed my entire family watching him as he made his way to Bella and Leo.

(I thought about stopping here, but I decided that was too mean, so on with the story!)


B POV.

I smiled up at Leo as we danced, I still didn't know much about my Grandfather, but I could tell he was still an amazing person. He even trust me to dance with him! I smiled at him before I heard the song switch over. I listened for a few minutes before I gasped. It was my song! I mean my lullaby. I watched in shock as a hand tapped Leo's shoulder.

"May I have this dance?"

I gulped as Leo bowed out and Edward walked to me, wrapping his arms around my waist, I took a deep breath before sliding my arms around his neck. I looked down, not quite ready to look into those topaz eyes. Don't get me wrong, I want more than anything to have the life we had, but what if he doesn't want that? I couldn't live with that. I wouldn't be able to go on.

"Bella, you look amazing." Edward whispered as we danced lightly.

I smiled thankfully at him, but I don't believe he saw it.

"Thanks." I whispered.

"Bella, I have to ask something. Did you find the box under your floor board?" Edward asked.

I sighed.

"Yes I did." I whispered.

"And did you read the note?"

This was the part that I was afraid of. I was afraid that the note was a lie, written by one of the other Cullens to hurt me more, or maybe written by Mike or someone. I nodded again.

"Good, then you know that I'm a liar." He said.

I looked down at my feet then, I knew it. I just knew the note was a lie. I started to pull away but Edward held me tight.

"How could you believe me Bella? I lied to you in the woods." He whispered.

I looked at his chest then, still not sure if I should look into his eyes.

"What?" I whispered.

"Bella, I wanted to keep you safe. I wanted to save you from all this danger. But I can see I failed. I was only delaying the inevitable. I never knew any of this was going to happen to you. I thought I was going to keep you safe from all this. I just...I'm so sorry Bella. And how could you believe me? I said it once and you completely believed my every word." Edward whispered. "And now, I feel even worse when I can't see your beautiful eyes. The eyes of my one and only true love."

I finally looked into his eyes getting lost quickly. His eyes showed his emotions clearly, sorrow, pain, and one of the most obvious, love.

"You lied?" I repeated.

"I lied, I have always loved you Bella, and I always will. You're my son and moon, you're my everything. The air I breath. Please Bella, believe this. You believed the lies in the woods, but can you believe the truth?" Edward pleaded.

I looked into his eyes still, could I believe? Was this even happening?

"I don't know. It never made sense for a Vampire to love someone like me. Ever." I answered truthfully.

Edward pulled me closer to him.

"Bella, you don't see yourself clearly. To me, you always shock me speechless. And in a good way." Edward whispered.

I took a minute to sort this out in my head before I turned and looked at him.

"I believe you Edward, but I'm going to need to take time to heal." I whispered. "So much has happened and, I just need to get used to this." I whispered.

Edward smiled slightly at me.

"I love you Bella." Edward whispered before he bent down and placed his lips on mine.

I took a deep breath before I kissed him back.
