Ok, so as I promised, here's the baseball chapter!! Still sick and still writing basically every second of the day to take my mind off how sick I am.

Wanna thank socceranna621 for her awesome review and questions!! I don't mind messaging you all so if you wanna ask something big, don't worry!! (Plus she is another soccer lover!!) And as always, all my other reviewers. I would have quit a while ago without you all.

And this chapter is dedicated to all those people that reviewed yesterday and got me up to 103 reviews!! Sorry I didn't check until this morning, but here's the new chapter, and since we're at 100, I'm posting another one later on today…no waiting!!!!

Now, one of my favorite POVs, ALICE'S!!!

ALICE'S POV

I slammed my phone shut and walked back to the rest of the family, who were throwing the baseball around, anxiously waiting for Bella and Edward to come. Not only did they keep us waiting, but I also had to see the disgusting image of them naked and making out on the bed. No matter how much I love both of them, that was way too much to see.

"Where the hell are they? I vote we start without them." Normal Emmett, always inconsiderate to get his way.

"They're coming. Should be here in three minutes."

"Fine. But I really don't see why we had to wear these stinking uniforms. We know what teams we're on. And you didn't even get the colors right. I'm a guy. I'm supposed to be wearing blue. And obviously Rosalie's not a guy. No guy could have that nice of a body." Rosalie smirked and tapped her all-pink husband on the butt before going to chat with Esme on the side of the field.

"Well, duh. I know you're a guy. Not even a girl whines that much. Those are the teams: blue and pink. Just Edward and Bella don't know that yet. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone." I stifled a laugh as I saw Bella on Edward's back, running through the trees like he used to do when Bella was still a human. Edward must have gotten impatient with her running slow and didn't think she would be able to find the obvious clearing on her own.

The rain started up, thunder raging more and more with each second we waited. There was no lightning and would not be, so we all would have to be careful about being seen. Those 'flying comet in the middle of woods' stories really get old when they ruin our games and the scientists start prowling through our woods.

"Finally. Where the hell were you?" Jasper was walking over to the woods, where Edward was putting Bella down on the ground and pulling a leaf out of her hair. Both were laughing at some unknown joke.

"Making out. We were going to do something more, but then Alice called." Bella's response surprised me. Edward really was rubbing off too much onto her. Jasper rolled his eyes and walked back to where he was throwing the ball to Jane, who was at the opposite end of the clearing talking to Carlisle They both were walking towards us at an unusually slow pace and keeping their voices low.

"Is it time to play ball?"

EDWARD'S POV

Bella was hopping at high speed next to me, so fast that any human passing by wouldn't see her, even if they were staring at her for hours.

"Bella, calm down. You'll do fine. I promise. So what if you can't run and have never hit a ball in your life? You'll learn." I knew this would not help her fear, but I was hoping it would make her stop jumping and say something.

"Very reassuring, Edward. Now shut it. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get out of this. Do you think I can run and not get caught?" I stopped myself from laughing uncontrollably at her.

"Bella, you can't outrun me even if I had my legs tied together and gave you a five minute head start. Face it; you're stuck." Bella stopped jumping long enough to glared at me and then went back to bouncing.

"You'll do fine, but I may have to not talk to you for the rest of the day if you don't stop right now." She stopped jumping and looked at me with a puppy dog pout on her face. It made her eyes pop and her lips to look fuller than ever before. I had the urge to reach down and touch those full, red lips.

"Fine. But if I die, I'm taking you with me." I didn't bother pointing out that we were already dead, therefore we could not die, and also that if she were dead, she couldn't take me with her.

"Come on. Alice is getting impatient."

BELLA'S POV

Alice was just as excited as I was when we met up with her. She was clapping her hands so fast that they looked like blurs going apart, and then together again.

"Okay, so it's blue against pink. Which means Bella, me Jane, and Emmett against everyone else. Now—"

"What? I thought we got to pick our own teams. You set me up." Edward was raging next to me.

"Oops. Did I say you got to pick the teams? I thought I said you have absolutely no option in the matter. Aw well. So as I was saying—" Edward cut her off again.

"You lied to me. And you set me and Bella against each other."

"Duh. Now Edward, calm, before I dock your team a hundred points." Edward fell silent, but kept glaring at his sister with distastefully evil eyes that could have matched Jane's glare.

"Everyone behave. Esme's umpire and referee and scorekeeper. And Edward, no throwing a fit again if you don't get your call. The same goes to you Jasper, and Emmett. I swear. Boys." She whispered the last part under her breath just low enough for everyone to hear her. The thunder was picking up, booming loud against my ears. It blocked out the sound of everything else around me. Alice started walking out on the field, followed closely by Emmett and Carlisle. I ran off after them, glancing back at Edward as I went. He was still glaring at Alice while the others were chattering around him.

"Alice, how exactly do you play baseball?" I had only seen it played once, and that was as a human watching a vampire game. Other than that, I didn't pay much attention to sports games.

"All you have to do is catch the ball if it's flying towards you and step on the base or tag them. I'll tell you which one. Other than that, just have fun with it and try not to get run over by Jasper and Rosalie. Carlisle won't, and Edward probably will get to the base before you can even blink. We get him out off of fly balls, but no offense, you're not leaving that base at the pace you run." Again with my running speed. It's not my fault I couldn't run as a human. Blame gravity. "You'll be playing first base. Just stand here and catch the ball." She skipped off to the center of the field, about half a mile in front of me. I could see Jane to my right, standing between third and second base. Emmett was directly in front of Alice, but behind where Jasper was tapping a silver bat on the ground.

"Let's play!" Alice threw the ball, allowing it to zoom through the air before Emmett caught it in his hand.

"Strike one!" He threw it back to Alice, who was spinning it in the air as fast as she could while waiting for Jasper to warm up for his second swing. She wound it up behind her back, and as soon as he was ready, sent it flying again.

This time, Jasper swung in time. It went soaring through the air to where Jane was standing. She easily ran underneath it and caught the small, white ball in one hand.

"Out!" Jane threw the ball back to where Alice was now waiting for Rosalie to sashay onto the field. She seemed to be taking her time, just to annoy her sister. Emmett couldn't take his eyes off of her as she pulled her tight little shorts farther up her leg, and rolling the tops down so they were barely noticeable. Alice rolled her eyes as she waited. Finally, Rosalie was holding the bat on her shoulder and looking at Alice. She flung the ball at Rosalie, who shook her hips so much that Emmett completely looked away from the ball. Rosalie swung and made contact with the ball. It went through the air. This time, Alice ran back as it bounced feet back from me.

"Bella, catch!" She tossed the ball towards me, and by some chance of fate, I caught it. Everything happened in a matter of seconds, and before I could register what was happening, Esme was shouting:

"Out!" This time, Carlisle got out to bat, leaving Edward for last. He was whispering behind his hand to Jasper, who let out a howl of laughter before passing it on to Rosalie. Even I couldn't hear them, though I knew it had something to do with me, for each one of them glanced at me in turn before whispering some more.

"Bella! Pay attention!" Thanks to Jane, I looked up just as Alice was tossing the ball swiftly through the air towards Emmett and Carlisle. Carlisle swung, but missed the ball by inches before Emmett caught it.

"Strike one." Alice looked around at Jane and me before throwing the next ball. She looked so much like a real baseball player, with her hair up in a cap and looking around as if someone would pop out at any second.

Alice threw the ball while she was looking at Jane and caught Carlisle off guard. Emmett caught it and threw it back before he could even swing.

"Strike two." Carlisle looked up at her wife, who shrugged, before turning back to the game.

"With these four on one team, I don't think it would be good to look away for a second now. What've you got planned next? Going to throw a boulder at me next?"

"You mean again?" Alice joked back before propelling it towards Carlisle. He swung again, hitting it off the top of his bat. Emmett dove forward as it went up into the air, landing inches away from his outstretched hands. Carlisle kept running, and didn't look back. Alice ran towards where Emmett was regaining his dignity by getting up and picking up the ball. She took it from him and ran towards where Carlisle was running. He picked up speed as she chased after him.

"Bella!" The ball flung towards the air to me, over Carlisle's head. It bounced just in front of me, landing softly against my foot. I swept it up in my hand and stood on the base just as Carlisle came to rest where my foot used to be.

"Are you sure you've never played, Bella? You seem to have the concept down."

"Showing off." I replied, before skipping off after Alice to the side. We passed the others walking towards the field, and I gave Edward an I'm-not-as-innocent-as-you-think look before sitting up on the table to watch Emmett bat.

CARLISLE'S POV

Emmett got up to bat, swinging the bat furiously. Unfortunately, he was just warming up. Our team was still in the huddle, chattering away with our heads pressed tight together.

"How'd they get all the good players? I say we trade Rose for Jane. She's so much better, and she doesn't whine. I swear, she's worse than Emmett." Rosalie smacked Jasper on the back of his head.

"So, Eddie how's Bella at playing? None of us have ever seen her throw or catch anything, only drop stuff." Edward gave Jasper another smack on the back of his head.

"She's never played before. This is her first time." Jasper started giggled quietly.

"What?"

"Rose got out by someone that's never played before." Jasper got his third strike on the back of his head before giving up on the sarcasm.

"Now, now. Let's just go out there and play. Edward, take outfield. Rose, take catcher. Jasper, you're infield, and I'll pitch. Let's play." Edward and Rosalie both smacked Jasper once more each on the back of the head before running off in their opposite directions.

"You know you've got to stop doing that before both of them get payback, right? Or worse, Bella, Jane, and Alice get payback. Those three aren't good to be messing with, you know." Jasper shrugged before taking the few steps behind me to get to his position.

"Are we finally ready, old man?"

"I don't know, Emmett. Are you ready to loose?"

"I thought you were the ones that just went up and then turned around and sat back down again. Or am I mistaken?" I couldn't help but laugh at my son's witty comments. Though I would remind myself later to get back at him.

EDWARD'S POV

While Carlisle and Emmett were smack talking, I was watching Bella. She was twirling her hair around her finger and talking rapidly to Alice, who was braiding Jane's hair. They all looked like three girls at a slumber party. By the time Emmett had finished with all his usual comebacks, Alice had finished about fifty miniature braids going around Jane's head.

"Edward! Look up!" I glanced up as the small white ball went soaring over my head and towards the woods. I ran after it, hoping to get refuge from the downpour of rain. The ball finally started falling, as I was halfway to the woods. I stood under it, craning my neck to look up. It fell slowly, but eventually landed in my outstretched hand.

FLASHBACK

"Edward! Toss it here!"

"Go to third! Keep running!" I threw it to Billy, who caught it in his glove before tagging Marie as she tried to run back to second. He then threw it to James on second, who tagged Freddie.

"Three outs!" My friends crowded around me as we all cheered happily about the game-winning play.

"Edward, how'd you learn to catch like that?" I shrugged as everyone watched me.

"My big brother."

END FLASHBACK

Thinking about him brought a pang of guilt to me, and I tried unsuccessfully to wipe it away before running back to the field. Everyone was sitting on the ground, including Emmett, who was back on the sides, looking sour. I tossed the ball to Carlisle.

"Out!" Alice was already practice swinging. I knew she always hit the ball into infield, to allow Jasper to get some action and humiliation, so I was free to reminisce.

My brother had died before both my mother and I had. He was older than me by two years, though he had always been my best friend, even during those painstakingly long hours tossing our old, busted-up baseball in the back yard until mother called us in for dinner. That was back when I was young, before the flu passed through my village, before everyone I loved died.

I still regretted that I had been the one saved, and he had not. He was always good to me, no matter how young and annoying I was. When I was eleven, and he was a huge thirteen year-old, he still allowed me to play baseball with him and his friends.

But Carlisle had still saved me, and only me. I would never get to see anyone from my past again, even if they didn't die from the first wave of the flu. They surely would be long since dead by now, years passed. Even their kids would be dead, and their grandkids growing older and older with each passing second. Maybe even some of them would be dead, and their children be growing up as the time passed.

I watched Alice round the bases as Jasper ran to catch a ball that had landed on the opposite side of the infield. She stopped on third base as he caught it and threw it to Carlisle. Alice bowed dramatically as her team cheered her on.

"Good going, Jasper! Try to keep your eyes on the ball, and not the two attached to Alice's chest!" Rosalie was never one to keep her opinions to herself. It was the first time I noticed Alice's shirt was ripped down into a V-neck, barely covering her chest.

"Damn, she stole our strategy!" Alice only shrugged, and went back to watching Bella swinging the bat against Carlisle's pitch. It flew towards the air towards me, soaring this time over my head and far back into the woods. I couldn't help but be amused that Bella, my Bella, hit farther than Emmett did. The bat made a definite thud, which sounded louder than the thunder surrounding us. I turned and ran towards where I saw the ball disappear into the landscape.

BELLA'S POV

Baseball proved to be much better than it was when Charlie watched it on television, or even when I watched the Cullen's play as a human. I could keep track of the ball, all the plays, and I was in on all their strategies and schemes.

Now I was living for the feel of the bat against my hands, and reviling in the sound of the bat hitting a ball going a hundred and fifty miles per hour. And the best part was everyone's faces when I did hit it, and when it soared through the air, farther than Jasper or Emmett had hit it, not to mention everyone else.

Alice told me to wait on second base, just close enough that I could still make a home run, or in my case to third base, but not so far that she would get caught on the wrong base.

"Alice, watch for when Edward drops the ball. It surely will be embarrassing." Jane filled me with pride every time she joked or even talked to someone else. That was when I knew it was a good idea to keep her a part of this family, to give her a second chance at a new life.

"You know he'll just lie about it, right? You have to listen." Even against her own advice, Alice closed her eyes. Her face became stony, and she stared out into space, looking at the ground but not really seeing it.

"He's gone."

Ok, so sorry, but this is the end of the baseball chapter :( I'll write more, but I hope you get what I mean by 'he's gone' as in: who's the one type of people that stop Alice's power? Hope you get it now. And this isn't going to be a BellaxJacob thing (sorry) but I just love the BellaxEdward thing. Oh and clarification. Here are the teams:

BLUE: Carlisle Edward Rosalie Jasper

PINK: Bella, Alice, Jane, Emmett

UMPIRE/REFEREE/MOTHER/FIGHT BREAKER-UPPER: Esme

Hope you all review more. If we get to 200, I'm going to post like crazy, but since we're only at 100, I'm posing 2 new chapters only in one day. Sorry!! Just keep reviewing and I'll keep writing. You know what to do.
