Everything

BELLA POV

I sighed and leaned up to look into Alice's eyes which were, as always, looking right back at me. I wondered if she'd even stopped looking at me since she said it.

Isabella Swan, I love you.

Just thinking about it made my heart beat faster. This joy was something I'd never experienced. Sure, Edward made things seem a little better, but I was never totally comfortable with him. As much as he tried to protect me with his stupid distance and 'masculinity' he'd never made me feel as safe as Alice did.

Thank God she came back..

Thinking about what I may have done or what other things would have done to me if she hadn't made me shudder. Which I apparently did because Alice shifted into a sitting up position and put her hand under my chin.

"Bella, what is it?" Concern laced into every word.

"Nothing..I was just thinking what would have happened if you hadn't come back. With me being so reckless and Victoria...well Victoria being totally set on cutting off my head and using it as a hood ornament."

Alice showed a hint of a smile and I lunged forward to tackle her down in a hug (She had to let me tackle her, of course).

"But it's okay, because you're here, and I don't need to think about life without my Alice." This time Alice let out a huge grin as I said 'my Alice.' And I was glad for that. She needed to know that she was my Alice.

"We should head downstairs and talk to the family." Alice told me, motioning to stand up. "Are you okay with telling them about us?" She asked, looking a bit nervous.

"Of course I'm okay with it, Alice. I love you, and they all need to know that. Edward will too, as soon as we see him." Alice growled at his name.

"Come on my little vampire, let's go." I laughed.

She huffed and stood up. "Alright, let's do this."

Alice took my hand and led me down the stairs into the kitchen, where Esme and Emmett were standing by the counter.

"Esme, Emmett, would you please get the family and tell them to meet us in the living room? We have something we need to talk about as a family."

"You're finally gonna tell us?" Emmett asked, grinning.

"Oh, shut up and do it Emmett." Alice said, turning and leading me into the living room. This was going to be fun..

Alice and I took the loveseat adjacent to the couch and waited for the family to come. Carlisle and Esme came first, then Rosalie and Emmett, and finally Jasper. I felt a stab of guilt. Jasper had a calm face, but it seemed forced, and in his eyes I could see something.. Sorrow?

I shook my head and tried not to think about it. It couldn't be helped if I fell in love with Alice.

This is just how it was meant to be.

Alice cleared her throat and all eyes were on her. God, she was beautiful.

"So, some of you," She started, glaring at Emmett, "Already know why you're all here. It's the reason Edward is so angry, although it's no excuse for his actions. Bella and I are together."

Alice stopped and looked around. No one had a suprised look on their face. Well this is easier than I thought.

"Alice, Bella, I think that's wonderful. And I agree Edward had no right to act like he did. Neither of you could have prevented this." Carlisle said, smiling.

"I agree. You two have always been so close. I'm happy you feel this way." Esme told us. I felt so much better now that I have their blessing. This fear they wouldn't want to accept it had been nagging the back of my mind, although I knew that there is no way Carlisle or Esme could ever get angry at such a thing.

"Finally. You two took forever to admit it." Emmett grinned.

"Oh shut up Emmett." I said, rolling my eyes. "It wasn't exactly easy to admit, given the circumstances."

Emmett just continued laughing. Rosalie didn't say anything, but I'm pretty sure I saw a faint smile on her face. VERY faint. But it was still there.

Jasper was silent until now. "I'm glad you both figured it out." he said, smiling a bit, but it was obviously a sad smile.

"Jasper.." Alice started, but Jasper stopped her.

"Alice, I will be okay. This is what makes you happy, and I want you to be happy." He said, sounding sure of his words. I'm glad he was so much better at reacting than Edward. I don't think I could handle two crazy ex boyfriends trying to kill us.

"Okay," Alice finished, "That's all we had to say, we just though you all had the right to know."

I grabbed Alice's hand and she flashed a smile at me.

"So, now that you're together, does this mean we have to knock before we come in your room?" Emmett said with a grin on his face. Rosalie smacked him. I was sure my face turned as red as a fire truck when I realized what he was implying.

Alice, who I expected to come back with an angry snap for him to stay quiet, just replied with "Yes, Emmett, that's exactly what it means." A smug smile broke onto her face.

"I was kidding Alice, I definitely did NOT need to know that."

"Hey, you asked." Alice said standing up and leading me towards the front door. "We're going on a walk."

I was so relieved when we left the house. My face was still super red and I know everyone noticed. Damn vampires and their inability to physically show embarassment.

"Where are we going?" I asked Alice.

"Just for a walk. I figured you seriously needed some fresh air after that comment Emmett made, seeing as you're still blushing from it." She chuckled.

I smacked her. "Oh shut up. It's not my fault you guys can't blush."

She stuck her tongue out and jogged ahead of me. "Come on Bells!"

I ran after her, and we came up to a huge tree. When I stopped next to the trunk, a little short of breath, Alice took me by suprise and grabbed my waist to pull me up into the trees branches with her. Oh no, I felt dizzy..

"It's okay Bella," She chuckled softly, "I'm here with you, you're safe." And she nuzzled her face next to mine. My heart stopped beating for a split second, and I threw my arms around her neck as we came to a stop on a high branch in the tree.

"You have to stop doing that." I told her, breathless. Alice just laughed and pulled me into a kiss.

Her lips felt so cold, but lovingly warm at the same time. She tasted like..well like Alice. I loved it. She is so perfect, how could I have gotten so lucky?

I put my hand behind her head and pulled her deeper into the kiss. Alice moaned lightly and I felt a burning sensation run through my whole body. I made her do that. I pulled back and smiled at Alice. She smiled back. Oh that smile..

"Come on, I think we can head back to the house now. Your face has returned to it's usual color, so I know you're not going to pass out on me." She said with a sly smile.

I said nothing, just smiled to myself and braced against Alice for the jump back down to the Earth.

We were back at the house in a matter of minutes. Emmett and Rosalie were still sitting on the couch, talking, Carlisle was in his study, looking at some patient studies, and Esme was in the kitchen..doing whatever it was she does in there, considering vampires don't eat food. I had no idea where Jasper went. Maybe back to his room, or out to hunt. I still feel bad about stealing such a wonderful woman from him, but I couldn't help but be happy she chose me.

Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me up the stairs to her, no, our, room. She closed the door behind us. I turned to look at her but she took me by suprise and was already standing right in front of me, face just inches from mine.

I took a deep breath. She smells so wonderful..

I sighed and looked up in her eyes, not being able to take it anymore, I wrapped my arms around her neck and pulled her into a deep, meaningful kiss.

She responded and put her arms around my waist, pulling me towards her a little more. I moaned quietly, wanted to be all the way against her, but not wanting to take it too far if she wasn't ready. Alice had obviously heard my moan, and took it as a hint to pull me further into her. I gasped and became a little bolder, asking for entrance into her mouth with my tongue. She granted it, and gasped as I began to explore her mouth. There were sparks all over my body now, and Alice was all I could feel.

Then there was a knock on the door..

It was Emmett

Alice hesitated, then pulled away. "What do you want, Emmett?" She asked, trying not to growl (But she wasn't doing a very good job).

Emmett opened the door "Sorry, am I interupting something?" He asked, an evil smirk on his face.

"Just tell me what you want Emmett." Alice said shortly, trying to keep control.

"Esme wanted to know if Bella is hungry." Emmett snickered.

"No, I'm not, I'm fine, by Emmett." I told him quickly, ushering him out the door.

As soon as I shut the door and turned around, Alice was right behind me.

"Now where were we..?" She asked, getting closer.

So I know that took forever, but I just moved out and still don't have internet. Give me some credit for doing this all at Barnes and Noble lol. Anyway, don't worry, it's an M fic, so I won't skip the good parts. If You don't wanna read that, then just skip the first part of the next chapter, or redirect yourself to something less mature. Like Dragon Tales.

SO, some reviews, so I know I'm not writing to ghosts?

Thanks for still being with me =]
