Bella Point of View

I was awoken from my sleep by a loud ringing sound. It was my cell phone going off somewhere near by but I didn't want to get up just yet. Last night was amazing, Edward was the perfect gentleman. And I wanted to stay wrapped in his arms and not move an inch, but then I noticed that I was a little to comfortable to still be sleep in living room or to be leaned up against Edward's stone like body. I am not complaining at all since I haven't sleep that good in years so as hard as he seemed I would not have changed a thing.

The ringing of my phone stopped but only momentarily before it started back up. Whoever it is was trying their best to reach me so I decided to go ahead and get up.

I opened my eyes to find that I was no longer in the living room but now in my own bed. I looked around the room trying to remember how I got up here but was coming up with nothing. Last thing I could remember was Edward humming to me and the baby when I drifted to sleep. I noticed that there was a rose with a note next to the clock that was now set with the right time. I guess he set the clock when he left the note.

"Good morning my sweet Bella,

I apologize for not being there when you woke up this morning but I wanted to catch Carlisle before he went to work to discuss a few things with him. I hope you slept well and the slight smile you wore while you were dreaming last night did not fade in my absence. I could watch you sleep every night and love every minute of it.

I hope you enjoy your shopping trip with Alice today. I know she is thrilled and you will return with more items then you will ever need. So get a good breakfast because it will be a long day.

Feel free to call me when you return. I can't wait to see you again and I miss you already even as you lay sound asleep in my arms as I write you this letter. I believe that I have missed you even before we meet. Take good care of my heart as you take it with you.

Love,

Edward"

I wore a smile as I reread his beautiful words for the third time. The ringing of my phone was all but forgotten. His writing was even more elegant then Emmett's. I was desperately trying to decode his words for secret meanings. I will have to ask Alice later. I folded the note and placed it in the drawer of my night stand. I found my phone sitting on the dresser and plugged into the charger. I was in the middle of thinking that Edward thought of everything when my phone began to ring again. It wasn't a number that I recognized so I hesitantly answered the phone.

"Hello" I stated into the phone.

"Hello Bella, it's me Alice. I was calling to make sure you were up and ready to go to Port Angeles to start shopping" she fired away.

"Oh hi Alice, I am just getting up but I should be ready in about thirty minutes or so" I told her while looked in the closet for something loose to put on since I imagined I will have to try on a lot of items today given that I no longer knew my size and what fit anymore.

"Ok I will be there in thirty minutes. And I hope you don't mind but Rose will be coming along with us. Oh and Edward wanted me to remind you to eat breakfast first and to take you vitamin." Alice stated while giggling on the last part.

"Yes that is fine. Bye Alice, see you soon."

"Bye Bella" she stated as she disconnected the call.

It was sweet that Edward was worried about me. I hope that it wasn't just a doctor thing and that he really cared for me. I could tell that I was really starting to fall for him. I dreamed last night that we were together and just walking and holding hands on a beach. It was nice and peaceful and it gave me a sense of joy inside like I have never known, and that was just a dream. I couldn't even imagine how it would feel to have the real Edward love me like he did in my dream.

I took a quick shower and dressed before heading in the kitchen to eat breakfast. I was just finishing up my plate of pancakes and eggs before I heard a tap on the front door. I opened the door and there stood Alice and a beautiful bombshell right out the pages of an issue of Sport Illustrated; the swim suite edition.

"Hello, come on in. I will be ready in a minute." I greeted them and led them into the house. "You must be Rosalie. Emmett never stops bragging about you." Rose was walking around the house with her nose turned up. I did a quick check of the room to make sure everything was still neat and in its place, although she did seem to relax at my last comment.

"Yes, and he speaks of you quite often." Rose said as she turned towards me. She tilted her head to the side and was giving me a thoughtful look. "I see you all the time lurking around the preschool. Another week and I was going to investigate."

"Oh I'm sorry. I have been trying to make a decision about what I wanted to do after the baby was born. Why would you investigate and not just call the police?" I asked. I didn't think that she would be able to do much if I was a stalker. Any other person would have just notified the police.

"I would have taken care of the situation myself." She almost sneered as she said it.

Til' this day I still do not care for that word, but I was curious about what she meant. "What would you have…."

"Ok, that is enough talk. Are you ready now Bella? We should really get going; we don't want to miss all the good sales." Alice said cutting our previous conversation short.

We were on our way to Port Angeles a few minutes later. We were all singing and dancing in the car when Alice seemed to have suddenly gone silent. Alice and Rosalie shared a concerned look and almost like they were speaking to each other without me knowing. Alice turned down the music and Rose sat there with a scowl now placed on her face.

"So Bella, tell us about yourself. Are you the type of person to believe in fairy tales?" Alice asked out of the blue.

Not sure of where this question came from or what she was trying to get at I answered her honestly. "I used to, but now I really don't believe in everyone getting their happily ever after. I believe that we all end up with a sick version of it. Why do you ask?"

"Oh no reason, I just want what is best for you and for you to be happy." Alice stated simply. "You just have to be open to different forms of fairy tails."

"Alice there is only one type of fair tale, everything else is just a nightmare or a dream that will never come true." I responded while laughing to myself. I always dreamt of fairy tales when I was a little girl but none of that seemed possible now.

"So what you are saying is that if it is not your perfect view of a fairy tale then you just don't want anything to do with it because it will give you nightmares?" Rose asked harshly.

"No not exactly. What I meant is that out of all the people that I love I am still going through the most important time of my life alone. I'm relying on complete strangers to get me by because no one else is there. That's why I say that I don't believe in fairy tales." I said looking out the window.

"So you feel like we are complete strangers to you? I thought we were friends." Alice said turning around to face me in her seat with a sad expression on her face. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that. Of course that would be the only thing that Alice got from what I said.

"Yes we are friends Alice, you know that."

"Good, now let's shop." Alice said as we pulled up to the mall.

I am glad that Edward told me to wear comfortable shoes while shopping because Alice and Rose was shopping non stop. I actually faked a couple of extra bathroom breaks just to take a break from all the shopping. It wasn't until Alice received a phone call that we all stopped in the food court to get something to eat. I had a feeling that it was Edward who called. We all sat briefly while I stuffed my face with anything I could find.

"Come on Bella, are you done yet?" Alice whined while I ate very slowly giving my feet some time to rest.

"Alice we have been here for hours, there can't be anything else we can get." I was the one whining now. There had to be a way to get her out of this mall. We have been in almost every store.

"There is no such thing as having too much" Alice said looking as if she was appalled.

"Alice give the girl a break, we have been here all day. After all we are only human." Rose stepped in trying to come to my aid.

"But…"

"Alice how about we go to one more store and then you can shop as your heart content online for me when you get home." I was hopping that was good enough to placate her enough.

"Can I purchase anything I want without any complaint from you?" she asked hopefully.

"Anything"

"Yay….in that case we can leave now since the store I wanted to go to next has a website. And remember you said anything." Alice responded stressing the word anything. "And plus Edward asked if I could bring you home early because he wanted to talk to you tonight"

I was too excited about being able to go home and see Edward that it almost really didn't matter that I probably let lose a demon by giving Alice the "All Clear" to shop freely. Almost. I decided just to deal with whatever she got off line at a later time.

We had purchased so much stuff that we had to have the majority of the items delivered tomorrow. Rose and Alice promised to come over tomorrow after my meeting with principle Baker to help me sort through everything and to decorate the baby's room.

I was finally going to let principle Baker in on my pregnancy and to discuss options with him about the upcoming school year which was due to begin in two days.

The closer we got back to Forks the more nervous I became. I had no idea what Edward wanted to talk about but I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be good news. I was really beginning to worry. I wanted to delay any bad news as long as possible. I had asked Alice to tell Edward that I was very tired and that he can come by tomorrow when I got home from my meeting. I felt really bad about blowing him off but I really was exhausted and its been a long day. This way I will be well rested for whatever he had to tell me.

The girls dropped me back off at home where I grabbed another quick bite to eat before climbing into bed. That night I went to bed and slept peacefully even though I had a nagging feeling that I was being watched.
