BELLA POV.
The days had passed by very quickly now. Emily still no explanation for the large cut on her arm but Edward had finally given his consent to her and Jake. Most days passed with Edward and me lying in our meadow. Today was one of the usual days, until I realised that there was only eleven more days till my wedding.
"Oh my God! There are only eleven days left! Well, ten really because today is almost over!" I wailed.
"Are you getting cold feet?" Edward tried to laugh but I knew deep down he was being serious.
"NO!" I screamed a little too loud.
"Okay, okay!" he laughed, this time not seriously.
"I'm just worried…" I began.
"About what?" he said quickly.
"When you change me, well what if… I mean I won't be… no… ummm…" I whispered.
"Just take your time," he whispered, playing with my hair.
I took a deep breath, "How much of me do like because I am me, and how much because I am human?" I sighed.
"Bella…" he chuckled.
"I'm being serious. What if you change me and you don't love me anymore?" I sobbed.
"Silly Bella, you know that I would love you no matter what you look like, or what you smelt like!"
"Would you still love me if I was a werewolf?" I questioned, not that it would ever be a reality.
"Yes, even if you were a smelly dog, I would still love you," he whispered in my ear, kissing down to my chin, "But we better get back. I think Alice wants to talk to you."
"Okay," I yawned loudly.
"Perhaps you should sleep first!" he said while pick me up.
"Mmmm…" I yawned again, this time falling into a deep sleep…
When I woke Alice's face was leaning over me. I was in my bed at Charlie's.
"Wake up, sunshine! We have to go shopping! Did you know there are only nine more days till you are my sister!" she sung.
"NINE! How long have I been sleeping?" I asked.
"You were asleep when Edward dropped you here and now it's 10.30."
"Is Charlie still asleep?" I whispered.
"No, he is reading something in his bed. The nurse has been, I must say those two get on pretty well…" she said pausing and evidently seeing the future, "How cute! Charlie is going to ask her to come to the wedding!"
"Oh, that's nice. I might go see how he is."
"Ok, well I'm going to buy you some breakfast from the shops down the road so that you can eat in the car; we have a lot to do today!"
She was right. After I finished chatting to Charlie, Alice was back with a bagel and some new clothes. The whole day was spent going from Cake Shop, to the caterers, the reception (which neither of us liked so we decided it would be in the garden) and finally the dressmakers, to try on my dress with new alterations and to fix the bridesmaids dresses.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Angela, Rosalie, Emily, Esme and Renee. Alice saw my face light up when I saw my mum and she had a huge grin on her face. She had organised her to come before the wedding to help out. We had a teary hello, but Alice reminded us that we were on a schedule.
We were approached by a devastingly beautiful woman. She was of medium height and had long slender legs. She reminded me of Alice, her pixie like features were very similar. Her eyes were golden too, so I suspected immediately that she was a vampire. She wore a no sleeved, black cropped kimono dress which contrasted with her chalky skin. Her hair was a reddy brown colour and was worn short.
"Hi! You must be Bella?" she said while giving me a big hug. She definitely shared Alice's enthusiasm. "Welcome to my shop. My name is Mia!"
"Hi, well I am Bella. This Angela, Rosalie, Emily, Esme and Renee," I described while pointing to everyone.
"Well, we have no time to lose! The wedding is in nine days I hear. First let's start with the bridesmaid dresses."
Mia brought out from the storeroom four beautiful silk gowns. They were a light turquoise, with laced detail starting from one hip and flowing down to a part at the side. She laid them out carefully on the nearby couches.
"They are perfect!" I whispered.
"Why are there four of them?" Alice enquired.
"I made a spare, just in case!"
"But I need four! Alice, Angela, Rosalie and Emily?" I said confused.
"Bella thanks so much!" Emily screamed as she ran to hug me.
Everyone tried on their gown. It looked the best on Emily because he made her eyes look like sapphires with the dress. However, everyone else did look like model material. I wondered selfishly, that it wasn't fair that the Bridal party were more beautiful than me. Now it was my turn. In the change room I carefully slipped on my beautiful dress. I managed to get it on but struggled trying to tie it up at the back. I called for assistance as I stepped out. As soon as they saw me Renee dropped her bag and everyone stared at me. Everyone said I looked beautiful but I didn't believe it. I wasn't a vampire... yet.
The day ended, and soon many more passed; until finally I fell asleep in Edward's arms, the night before the wedding.
