BPOV

I let out a sigh of relief as I followed Alice up the stairs. I was really worried that he would take offense to my gifts; that some part of him would feel that I was trying to make him feel bad. I was glad that my intention was clear. The letter was just an added bonus; I never expected to actually give it to him. I thought it was long gone; but Esme found it while she was unpacking Kasey's bag the summer we came back and kept it. When I got back in the beginning of the summer, she gave it back to me, telling me that maybe it was time for the closure I needed. I was glad that she kept it.

"Mommy, are we going home soon?" I looked up to see my daughter standing in the door way to the guest room we put her in when she fell asleep.

"Why baby? Do you want to go home?" I kneeled down to her height and pushed the hair out of her eyes.

"Well I thought you would want to, the house is…" but her eyes got wide and she clamped her hand over her mouth, like she had said something she shouldn't have.

"Never mind, I am going to go back in until Anthony gets up. Bye mommy" Then she scurried back into the room, and onto the bed with Anthony. I chuckled at my daughter's silliness. I got to Alice's room to see my outfit lying on the bed, and tons of makeup on her dresser.

"Bellaaaaa" She sang from the bathroom. "I need you to strip and put on the lingerie and sit on the chair. I'll be right out." I did as I was told without a second thought. There was never a point of arguing with Alice; she always won. The lingerie she had set out for me was light blue and sheer, with garters attached to it; it was nice, but not something that I would usually wear. When I was dressed in the barely there, clothes, Alice finally came out with more makeup.

"Alright, Bella-Ella, we are here to make you sexayy! Because trust me when you see the present Edward has for you, you will want to thank him. If you know what I mean." She said with a wink. I blushed.

"I understand the makeup but is the lingerie really necessary?"

"Bella, I am ashamed. Since when do you question me? I know what is best for you, and trust me the lingerie will be necessary. So let's get started. ROSE!" She screamed.

"I'm here, pixie, calm down." I looked in the mirror at Rose, we both looked at each other and rolled our eyes. The torture started after that. Rose was curling my hair, as Alice was doing my makeup.

"So Rose, how have you been feeling lately?" I asked.

"I'm great now, only a few more months! Em and I are so excited. Esme finished the nursery the other day, it's really beautiful."

"Wait! Did you find out the sex?!" Of course Alice can't be left out of anything!

"Well I didn't tell Emmett because he didn't want to know, so after the appointment I called the doctor and asked." She said like it was no big deal. I saw Alice from the corner of my eye, jumping up and down, waiting for her to continue.

"AND?! Rosalie, you better tell me or so help me…"

"It's a boy!" She whispered, I could barely hear her over Alice's squeal.

"Oh Rose, that's so great! I get the color arrangement for the room now! At first I was thinking, what is she doing? A green room, they don't know the sex, and a girl couldn't have a green room, it's just wrong! And oh my gosh, this is so exciting!" Rose and I started at her with wide eyes, Alice just shrugged and gave Rose a huge hug and then went back to doing my makeup. I finally closed my mouth and looked at Rose in the mirror.

"That's really great Rose! Congratulations." She thanked me and then went back to finish my hair. Conversation was light after that. We mostly talked about the upcoming trial, and our New Year's plans. After about an hour, my hair and makeup was done, and Alice went to get my dress.

"So any idea where he is taking you?" Rose asked, while I admired the amazing job they did.

"No idea, everyone is giving me looks like it should be the most obvious thing in the world. But I really have no clue."

"It's better that way though. Even though you hate surprises, it's important to Edward that you get the whole effect and all that shit. So I see Charlie didn't make it today." I shook my head.

"No, he called this morning and told Carlisle that he would be here for dinner, apparently his other plans, were moved to the morning. I still don't know what's going on with him."

"Well he was going to La Push, maybe he took advantage of the fact that Sue had an empty house." Rose told me suggestively. I cringed.

"Please, I don't want to think about it. If it was that then he would have told me. Something else is going on, and Edward won't tell me." Before she had a chance to answer, Alice came skipping back into the room, with a garment bag, and shoes. She opened it and revealed a simple, black dress, and beautiful gold heels, that were so pretty, I didn't care that I would break my neck in them.

"Alice, she is going to be freezing." Rose pointed out; it was winter.

"Oh hush, do you really think I haven't thought about that? There is a new coat hanging downstairs for you. Consider it a Christmas gift."

"Thank you Alice, Rose, really I appreciate it so much. But I would appreciate it a little more if you told me where I was going." I asked hopefully.

"Nice try, Bella. Edward may not be able to deny you anything, but I can. So get up, get up, get up. Get ready and meet me downstairs." With that they left to let me get ready. The dress fit like a glove, whoever said you can't go wrong with black, really knew what they were talking about. I carefully put on the gold heels, and took a minute to admire how great they made my legs look. Snap out of it, Bella. GO!

I took a few sample steps to get used to the shoes, and then very slowly made my way to the stairs. I could hear everyone downstairs, talking and laughing, and again I was hit with pride; I was proud that I call them my family.

When I finally got the bottom, everyone was standing in the hallway, looking at me. I blushed and looked down, and I heard Emmett's huge laugh.

"Aww, little Bells is embarrassed." Then out of nowhere I was lifted off of the ground and into Emmett's huge arms.

"AH! Emmett, her hair!" I heard Alice screeching at her older brother.

"Em…can't breathe." I managed to get out.

"Oops, sorry Bell. You look beautiful; he's not going to be able to keep his hands off of you. I know I wouldn't be able to." I blushed, again, while Rose hit her husband on the back of the head. I smiled at her, silently telling her thank you.

"Where's Edward?" I asked no one in particular.

"All part of the surprise. So see you later Bella." Alice told me and walked into the living room with Jasper. I saw Carlisle give a nod towards the front door, and took that as my cue. When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was a strange man standing in the lawn, but then I looked behind him and saw the beautiful, white Bentley. I gasped and heard Esme chuckle behind me.

"Cullen men never make it simple, so be prepared." With that she gave me a slight push out the door, and closed it behind me. When I got to the man, I saw he had a piece of paper in his hand and what looked like a blindfold. OH HELL NO!

"Hello Ms. Swan, I am Laurent, your driver for this evening. If you would please take this letter from Mr. Cullen." He held out his hand and with shaking fingers, I took it.

My Dearest Bella,

I hope you like the first part of your surprise, because I can tell you now that you will not like the second part. Laurent has strict instructions to take you to me right away, but only after you put the blindfold on. Now I know what you are thinking, so I have planned ahead. If you look behind the limo, you will see Emmett and Jasper sitting in his Jeep, they are to follow you until you are in the safety of my arms. So, let Laurent do his job. Remember the faster you put it on the faster you get to me.

With All of My Love,

Edward.

I looked behind the limo and sure enough there were Jasper and Emmett. Jasper was looking intently at Laurent, probably trying to read him, and Emmett had a goofy grin on his face as usual. I rolled my eyes at him and then looked back towards Laurent. I gave him the permission to place the blindfold on me.

Once that was done, he helped me into the car, and we were on our way. The ride was bumpy, and took a little more than a half an hour. I was trying to figure out where were going, Port Angeles would have taken an hour or more, and everything in Forks was so close it took 2 minutes to get places. Finally we came to a stop and I was helped out of the car and by the feel of the arms, it was Jasper.

"Alright Bella, I am going to help you up the stairs, and then leave you, Edward should be down already, waiting for you." I just nodded and let him lead me up a few stairs. He kissed me on the cheek and then I felt him leave. The loud sound of the jeep starting up again scared me. What was taking him so long? As if he could read my mind, the door opened, and I was in his arms. Edward placed soft kisses along my jaw and then finally reached my lips. The kiss was soft, and chaste, ending almost as soon as it started. I groaned when he pulled away.

"Welcome love" He whispered as he picked me up bridal style.

"It would be nice to know where I was welcome to." I told him, and he had the nerve to laugh! "Come on Edward, I was never good with surprises, you know that." I felt him climbing stairs, and then open a door. I was placed down on a mattress. Were we at a hotel?

"Only a few more minutes. I have to go get something. Don't you dare touch the blindfold." He warned as he left the room again. A few minutes later he returned, and I felt him sit on the bed with me. His hands were playing with my fingers, and I felt him run his lips across my knuckles.

"Okay love, I am going to take the blindfold off now." He did, and I waited for my eyes to adjust to my surroundings. The first thing I noticed was the tray with plates and wine. Then I took a glance around the room. It was a white room with a small bench in the corner and flowered wallpaper, around the trim of the room. I saved Edward for last; my breath caught when I saw him. He was sitting next to me, a few inches away, in a dark green button down that really made his eyes stand out and black slacks. He leaned forward and placed another sweet kiss on my lips.

"Edward, this is beautiful. But where are we?" I asked confused. He looked at me incredulously, like I was missing something huge.

"You can' t tell?" I shook my head. "Love, take a closer look." I looked around again. This time I saw the comforter was like the one I picked out with Esme, the shelves above the bed were stacked with my favorite books, and the curtains were my favorite kind. I gasped as recognition smacked me in the face.

"Wha…how…Edward!?" He laughed again, and I saw his eyes twinkle. "Are we borrowing the house for the night?"

"Bella, really. You can't put this all together?"

"Umm, this is the house that I decorated for the guy and his wife right?"

"Actually it's his fiancée."

"But you told me it was his wife." I said, still so confused.

"Well, it turns out, it's his fiancée. She also helped decorate the place." Wait. What? No I couldn't get my hopes up again. Play stupid, Bella.

"Noo, no she didn't, I was here all the time. It was only Esme, Alice and I."

"I am telling you love, she had a huge hand in decorating the place. She hasn't seen the finished version yet. Esme and Alice put some last minute touches on it, her favorite books, flowers; their daughter's room is now filled with her favorite toys and clothes."

"Edward, stop playing around with me."

"Welcome home, beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

All I could do was stare, just like when he proposed. I saw that same look of hurt in his eyes.

"If you don't like it Bella, its okay. If you don't want to move in here with me, that's fine too."

Still my mouth wasn't working; I knew I had to say something. I saw his lips moving from the corner of my eye, but didnt hear what he said. I was about to when I saw him get off of the bed and leave.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! GET UP!

I ran out to follow him, but he wasn't in the hallway anymore.

What have I done?

review, review please! Now i know most of you will be mad at stupid Bella. But we all know edward can react too quickly, he really didnt give her a lot of time to adjust. just wait i can assure you it's not what it seems. ;)
