"Edward, I'm scared." I whispered to him when we got in the car.

"Why love, you have an amazing singing voice, and don't even try to deny it, I've heard you." He said lightly kissing my forehead.

"What ever, but still I have stage fright, I can't go up there on my own!"

He sighed, "Bella," Edward said pulling me to his lap, "I will sing with you if you want, but Alice will make you sing either way." He said rubbing soothing circles into my side, putting his head on my shoulder.

"Okay" I sighed giving in.

He chuckled lightly, and took a big breath through nice nose. He groaned slightly, and this made me panic. Did I smell bad? Crap why didn't I bring extra deoderant! Your so dumb Bella!

"Bella!" Edward whisper yelled at me.

"Yeah," I said urgently "I'll get off if you want sorry." I moved to get off his lap but he held me in place.

"Bella, you silly, nave, little girl. One you were just mumbling so I know what you were thinking, and you were wrong. And two, I groaned, because well, uh, well you weren't suppose to hear it, but uh," He was babbling, and it was cute, little Edward was at a loss for words, "it's just , you smelled really, really good, and well I'm a man, so yeah." He finished hiding his face in my shoulder.

I chuckled lightly, "It's ok Edward, and you smell good too." I turned my head slightly and kissed his ear.

"Bella, you will be the death of me." He mumbled looking at me.

"I know" I snickered, and that's when we realized we were the only ones in the car.

"Did you know we were home?" I asked him, wondering how we got home so fast.

"No, I wonder how long we've been out here."

We both climbed out of the monstrous jeep and walking into the Cullen house hold.

"Finally!" Emmett boomed when we walked in.

"Why didn't you tell us we got home?" Edward asked annoyed he was caught, I just laughed lightly.

"We did! You two were just to busy whispering to eachother to pay attention." Emmett said with a smug grin while we were blushing.

"Bella come sit we have a few things to discuss." Emmett said mocking seriousness. He patted the seat next to him on the couch, and I made my way over with Edward in tow.

Edward sat down first, and I took the seat in his lap. "So what's up?" I asked Emmett casually.

"Well, first of all, Rose told me to tell you that 'After me and Alice are done our showers you have to jump in, then we're just going to get dressed and do our hair, since Edward doesn't want any make up on you, something about being to beautiful'" Emmett said impersonating Rose's voice perfectly.

"Cool, they listened." Edward said with a smile after the no makeup part.

"Thank Edward" I turned my head and gave him a kiss. I turned back to look at Emmett, but his hands were covering his eyes. "Anything else Emmett?" I asked after rolling my eyes.

"Yea, are you going to the tattoo shop with us tomorrow?" He asked looking hopeful.

"Yeah, I will." I said making him smile.

"Are you going to get another one?" Edward asked, with just question in his voice.

"Does it bother you that I have tattoos?" I questioned, kind of scared by the answer. Emmett was looking at Edward to waiting for an answer.

"Not at all, if they mean something important to you, I think it's beautiful that you have the three stars, if you got another one that meant something to you, that's fine with me. Just do me a favor," I nodded my head for him to go on, "just don't get something because it looks cool, or its the new fashion statement." I couldn't see his face but I heard the sincerity in his words.

"Sure, ew, why would I do that?" I said with a disgusted face.

"I didn't think you would, but you never know." Edward said hugging me to his chest.

"So Bella are you gonna answer me." Emmett asked, bored.

"Oh sorry Emmett I forgot." I said with a chuckle, "Yea, I might get another one, but something small." Hm, I got to think about this.

"Cool, okay so Bella has day with the boys tomorrow since the girls are going shopping. You don't want to go do you?" Emmett asked looking at me with pleading eyes, wow, he really wanted me to go with them.

"Nah, rather get to know my new brother." I said getting up and giving him a hug.

"Wait, you said the girls are going shopping, does that mean Jazz is coming to." I asked, not recall being to he was getting a tattoo.

"That's right little lady." Said Jasper coming in through the kitchen with four sodas.

"Cool! I can bond with my favorite brother too!" I said hoping for Emmett to recognize that I just said I liked Jazz better.

"HEY!" Emmett boomed, making me fall off the couch. "Bella! Why is Jasper your favorite?" Emmett asked clearly sad, while Jasper helped me up and Edward laughed.

"I was just kidding Emmett I love you both the same." I said hugging him. I pulled me into his lap, but I didn't complain it felt natural being there, like he was my big brother.

"Hey! Why does Bella get to sit in your lap, I'm her lover!" Edward said pouting.

Jasper replied this time, "Because, when she fell all you did was laugh, you didn't help her up."

"But, I was only laughing at Emmett expression not Bella!" He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Oh well guys, who cares, lets get on to more fun subjects, what's everyone getting for a tattoo?" I said looking at all of them.

"I'm getting a rose on my butt, for Rose. Clever huh?" I laughed and nodded my head, Emmett's such a goof ball.

"I'm getting a horse shoe with Alice through it on my forearm."

"That's cute!" I said I could just imagine.

"Well love, I'm not exactly sure what I'm getting yet, but I have an idea, I'll tell you a little bit later, Alice is coming down now to get you." I was about to ask him what he was talking about, but Alice called my name just as he finished.

"See you in an hour, love." He said after I got up from Emmett's lap, which war hard, cause he want me to stay.

"Bye Eddie" I said with a giggle as I lightly kissed him.

I walked up the steps to Alice's room, and when I got there I was completely surprised. Without clothes everywhere, it actually looked nice. The night before everyone explained to me everyone had separate rooms, but Jazz, and Em, slept in there girlfriends room, there clothes were all in there also. The other rooms are just for show, if any of Carlisle co-worker came over he wouldn't want to earn a bad reputation because he let his 18 year old children sleep together. Well anyway back to the room, it was classy, and big, it was girly but had a masculine touch, some pink here and there, but there was blue, and indigo too.

"Alice, I like your room." I said fully taking it in.

"Thanks Bella!" Alice squealed, "Well get in the shower, I have some strawberry shampoo in there, I found it at Charlie's he said it was from you last visit, I figured you liked that."

"Thanks Alice." I said and headed to take a shower.

As the hot water hit my body I started thinking about the last two day, how I met the Cullens and how we just clicked. I can't believe I was able to make friends like them. Edward.... I don't know how this happened, boys never liked me, or noticed me, well except Brandon, but that didn't end well.

I felt a shudder as I thought of him, why did I even get involved, he was to old anyway, he just seemed really nice.

Bet Edward, I'm in love with Edward. He seems like the one for me, but will he ever feel the same? Am I going about thins the the wrong way, is it to soon to love him? I need Alice and Rose's help.

I got out of the shower and pulled a towel around my self before entering the room. "Hey guys I'm done." I called to them, they were in the ginormous walk in closet.

"Oh hey Bella" Said Rose she walked out first with two dresses in her hand, her makeup was already done and her hair was in soft curls, she looked gorgeous.

"Which one do you like more?" She asked holding up the two dresses, they were both very cute, but I pointed to the left one. "Ok" She said laying it down on the bed, she then put the one on that I didn't point to on.

"What was the point in asking me if you made up your mind?" I was curious.

"Oh, haha, Bella your wearing the one that you picked, I liked those to the best and I had to pick out your too, so I let you pick." She said with a shrug.

"Thanks Rose." I walked over and gave her a hug.

"Welcome, oh, and Alice had to take another shower, so she hopped in the one in my room, she accidently spilled powder all over her, so I'll be doing you hair if that's ok." She said guiding me over to the mirror.

"Yeah that's ok, thanks."

"Any time Bella."

Rose had already blow dried my hair and put it up when I got the courage to ask her the question that I was planning on, she was curling a couple piece in my hair and I figured why not now.

"Um, Rose can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Yeah sure Bella?" She replied with a shrug.

"When did you first know you were in love with Emmett." She just laughed.

"Oh that's an easy one, and you're done." She said puling me to the bed to sit.

"When we got Emmett I was five, and so was he, I knew I loved him when I first met him," she was smiling happily from the memory "Emse and Carlisle left us with a nanny when they went to the adoption agency me and Edward were both asleep when they got back so nothing could have prepared me for what happened." She was shaking her head laughing now.

"I was being shaken from a good dream about me being a princess when I woke up and yelled 'EDWARD I WAS DREAMING ABOUT PRINCESSES WHY'D YOU WAKE ME UP!' I just heard a unfamiar laugh and I opened my eyes to see a boy, that was big to me at the time with curly brown hair smiling the size of Texas, he pulled me out of bed and into a bear hug, 'you mush be Rosiieeeeeee! I'm Emmett.' was the first thing he said to me all I did was laugh, before him I would say I was a brat so this was a surprise to everyone that was in my room which was ,you know everyone else that was in my family at the time. That's when I knew I was in love with Emmett, I knew it right away, he brang out the good side in me."

I just sat there in awe, that's so cute!

I jumped up and hugged Rose tight, "Thanks Rose." I said.

"You love Edward." She replied with a grin.

"How do you know?" I asked mouth open.

"You can tell, and why else would you ask me." All I did was and she hugged me once again.

"Get dressed, I'll be down stairs." Rose called leaving the room.

I walked over to wear she laid down the dress and pulled it on quickly, then went to go see my self in the mirror.

The dress was cute, grey, but way, way, WAY to short, it tied right under my breast with a silver, jewled ribbon, I really liked it but agian it was short, although my hair went perfect with it. Rose left me a diamond bracet and a matching necklace to go with it so I quickly put it on and headed out the room.

(Dresses on profile, you can look, I have Alice's and Rose's on there, and I'm not going to describe them lol)

I made my way down the stairs in the silver heals Rose gave me to wear and I didn't trip once. When I reached the bottom I went to the living room to see if everyone was ready but Edward was the only one there.

He looked amazing in a white button up shirt, and grey slacks, his hair was a dismay as usual, but he still looked amazing.

His eyes looked me up,and down twice before he looked me in the eye, "Bella you look absolutely stunning." He said stepping forward and taking my hand to kiss it.

"As do you." I whispered back as he put his arms around my waist, and leaning his forehead against mine.

"The others left, something about time slots. We're going in my Volvo, if that's ok." I quickly pecked his cheek and led him out the door.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXO

"Are you ready?" He asked as we pulled into the small karioke bar.

"No" I whispered, he just chuckled and got out to walk to my side.

"Bella come one!" He said defeated after the fifth time of trying to get me out of the car.

"Edward I'm scared." I admitted looking down.

"Scoot over." He said gently rubbing my face, I did as he said, and he sat down next to me.

"Bella" He sighed, putting his hands on either side of my face.

"I don't know how to say this." He said looking straight into my face.

"This isn't going to be romantic or anything, it might be to soon, but I got to say it, and I can't keep it in anymore."

"Bella Marie Swan I love you." He gently pecked my lips. "I have loved you since I saw you with my mom, I saw the way my family loved you, I saw they way you are part of my family. I love you Bella Swan, and there is not a Damn thing you can do about it." He said finishing his speech and kissed me again.

This kiss was sweet loving, genital, and caring. This was the best kissed I ever experienced. I pulled back after a couple of seconds and he looked crushed.

"Edward," I said taking his face in my hand, "I loved you since you hugged me in the hallway, you cared, you didn't just want to hurt him, you wanted to make sure I was okay, I love you so much!" I said kissing him again.

We heard a course of aww's outside of the car and broke away.

"Emmett, I'm going to kick your ass again!" I screamed jumping out of the car, and running after the stpid trouble maker.

"Bella that hurt" Emmett whined after I tackled them to the ground.

"Ew Bella, I said you had a cute butt, not that I wanted to feel it." He whined once again.

"What are you talking about Emmett." Edward said angrily from behind me, I snickered lightly, someone's protective.

"Edward, she's wearing a dress, and a thong, from what I can tell." Emmett said still under me.

"Oh god" I groaned getting up and hiding myself in Edward again.

"It's ok love, lets go inside." Edward said rubbing soothing circles into my back.

The karioke bar was nice, not what you would expect, it had booths set up all around the circular room with a few tables in the middle, the bar was off to the right with al sorts of liquors and other variety.

"Edward this place is cool!" I said turning to him, he just slid his arms around my waist and gave me a tender kiss.

"This way love" He said puling me to a circular booth around the curve of the room.

"Bella!" Alice squealed as we walked up, "You look amazing!" She said with a hug.

"Thanks Alice." I said taking a seat next to Edward in the circular booth.

"NEXT UP EMMETT, AND ALICE CULLEN!" The announcer shouted as soon as I took my seat.

"YES! Let's go Alice!" Emmett said jumping out of the seat and running to the stage, Alice did the same after him.

Rose and Jasper just yelled,"Go Baby" and, "Go get them". Me and Edward, well, we just laughed.

"Hi guy my names Emmett!" Emmett yelled into the mike.

"And I'm Alice" Alice piped in.

The music began playing and I recognized it instantly, this was me and Ang's song, I was cracking up by the time the words started playing.

"Did you guys like it?" Emmett asked joining us at the table.

We were al laughing to hard to answer him, "I guess Edward banging his head on the table, Jasper on the floor, Bella having a seizure, and Rose punching Edwards arm is a yes."

"I gotta go to the bathroom." Rose shouted running away, that only made us laugh harder.

Eight minuets and two warnings to get kicked out later we were finally ok, laughing stopped.

"Emmett, Alice, that was the best thing I ever witnessed in my life." I said snuggling into Edward.

"And up next is"........................................
