Alice's POV

It's been two weeks since my first date with Emmett and it was… interesting. We had dinner at this amazing little Mexican restaurant I've never heard of and then we went to a drive in movie and actually watched the movie because we were both too scared to try anything else. I've never felt so insecure before! We go back to the house and stand on the front step, even though we are both still staying here, and he leaned in to kiss me and I started laughing and he started laughing then Jas opened the door and that was it. Yes, interesting. But that was just the first date and there have been four since then and we spend almost every minute we can together. He finally kissed me and it was like nothing I have ever experienced. So things are good. Neither of us are quite ready to go back to our own places and Jas told us we can stay here as long as we want. I'm sure once Bella comes back we will want to give them their space but I can't imagine not seeing Emmett all the time. I've thought about asking him to just move in with me but its all way too quick.

Bella comes home in a week. She's doing so well with everything. Jas insisted that I go to all the counseling with him and every time we go she looks better than the time before. Her eyes are brighter and she has a lot more focus. It's nice to be able to have a conversation with her without her bouncing around and forgetting what we were talking about. She's been painting and she's a natural at it. I hope she keeps doing it. She's going to need something to fill her time. Every time we leave she cries and I think Jas is actually relieved. He's still not certain her feelings won't change. But I know they won't. She still looks at him with all the love and devotion she did on their wedding day. I think he's falling more in love with her the stronger she gets, if that's even possible. Sometimes watching them makes me question my feelings for Emmett. I don't look at him and he doesn't look at me like that. But then I remember all they have been through and I think maybe it just takes time. I hope it just takes time. Bella is thrilled about me and Emmett. I think it makes her feel better that I finally have someone.

She wants to go to Disney World for her honeymoon. And of course Jas went all out with the plans.

She hasn't asked about Edward and we don't plan on telling her anything until she does. His trial for attempted murder starts next month. We are hoping she doesn't have to testify. There are 6 witnesses without her so she shouldn't have too.

"Alice, I wanted to ask you to stay at the house until we get back from Disney World. I figured you two were planning on going back home once Bella gets back but she'll only be back a week before we go. And the house shouldn't be empty for two weeks. And Alice, he doesn't want to go back to his apartment alone either." I must have looked too excited at the thought of two more weeks with him living just a room away.

"It's all too soon Jas. It's only been two weeks."

"And in that two weeks you have both been happier than I ever seen either of you. Just go with it Alice. If things don't work out then fine but don't go living life thinking things aren't going to work out."

Hmm. My apartment or his?

"You know the guest house is twice the size of either of your apartments. And it will be free as soon as Bella moves all her stuff in here. Now that Bella's not a secret, Emmett and I will probably work from here a lot more. Just think about it." I do love the guest house. Definitely have to talk to Emmett.

Bella's POV (one week later)

I'm going home today! And I feel amazing. I don't remember ever feeling this clear. I know I still have a long way to go and this is probably something I will struggle with for all of my life but I know I can do it with Jas by my side. I cannot wait to start my new life with him. I'm going to be a perfect wife. I'm going to cook and clean and do all the other wife stuff. Well I probably won't clean much because he has housekeepers. And I honestly don't know what wives are supposed to do. But I can probably cook.

I cannot wait to go to Disney World! I always wanted to go when I was little but my parents couldn't afford stuff like that. I miss them a lot. More than usual, I guess I was numb before. I've made a lot of mistakes but I'm going to be someone they can be proud of. Someone everyone can be proud of.

Jas and Ali think don't know what's going on with Edward but I have some internet access here. I hope I don't have to testify but I will be OK with it if I do. Anything to make him pay for what he did to Emmett.

I finish packing up my clothes and paintings and wait impatiently for Jas to pick me up.
