Ch 26 Alice ruins everything

A/n: Last one of the day, sorry….it's all I've had time to write;(

But, I'll hopefully get a ton written tonight so that I can bombard you for the weekend!

Thanks for sticking with me.

Alice allowed us a moment in the bubble that we were in before she chimed in, "I'm hungry are we going to go eat or not?"

Bella and I continued to stare at one another as we both pulled our foreheads apart.

Jasper spoke up, too, "I'm kinda hungry, too." His Texas drawl in full force. Really dude? You've lived in Washington for over ten years.

"We're ready." I said quietly as Bella nodded her head in my response.

Alice clapped her hands and swooped in between Bella and I, she took her by the arm and strolled towards the door. Alice ruins everything.

"Alice, Bella is MY girlfriend, she'll walk with me." I walked up, slid my arm around Bella's waist and pulled her into my side.

"Hurmph." Alice said as she stomped her foot. "Is this how it's going to be now?" She stopped walking and put her hands on her hips.

"Alice, let's go eat, sugar. Leave poor Edward alone. He's finally got a girlfriend, for that you should be happy." Jasper said as he came up behind Alice and pulled her into him.

"This is true. Bella, you really should know what you are getting into with this prude-head." Alice giggled and punched my arm.

"Stop hitting me, for the love of all that's holy." I whined at her.

"Alice, I think I'm quite capable of taking care of myself where Edward is concerned." Bella finally chimed in.

I smiled. She certainly can. As long as she doesn't realize she has me wrapped around her little finger. Although, I know where I'd like to feel her little finger wrapped.

Mental face palm. I'm such a perv.

"So, Bella, how is that you're still single?" Jasper asked as we waited for the elevator.

"Oh, um, I've never really dated, Jasper." She replied. "Besides, it seems that fate has a way of stepping in where it's needed, doesn't it? I mean, Alice always said that she would wind up with you and I said the same about Edward. So, what do ya know? Here we all are, after all this time." She shrugged her shoulders and looked up at me.

I was grinning like an idiot.

"I can't wait to tell mom and dad about this. Mom is going to flip her lid. She'll have two weddings to plan." Alice said in her annoying tinkle of a voice.

"Alice." I said as a warning.

My mother would have us married and Bella pregnant within the month if she had her way. She continues to remind me that she isn't getting any younger and that she wants to be a 'young' grandmother.

"What Edward? You know it's true." Both Bella and Alice started to giggle.

Oh God. I can see it already. They'd be holed up in the design room as they planned showers and parties, receptions and fittings. I'll have to taste cakes and approve color swatches. But….

But, I'd still have the nights with Bella. And if we were planning our wedding, then we'd have to plan the honeymoon...and maybe, um, practicing for the honeymoon.

SCORE!

"I can't wait to see what mom has to say." I said as we all walked into the elevator. I pushed the button and turned around to see six eyes on me, three quirked eyebrows. One terrified look. One cheesy grin and one wicked smile.

Is to early to shop for rings?

A/n: he's such a sap...ain't he? But I wouldn't turn down that hard "member" of his EVAH:)

See ya late, late, late tonight or tomorrow morning!

tootles, Kyla
