Dedication- To Flora73 for awesome reviews XD
Bella POV:
I managed to get up and run back to collect Nellie- Edward wasn't the only one who needed to leave. I ran back to the hotel room, knowing that I must of looked like a right state- but to be honest I couldn't care less.
"Bella! Your dress!"Alice shouted, sounding shocked- trust Alice to notice my clothes first.
"Where's Nellie?" I screamed at her, by accident, she looked even more shocked and cowered away like a told off dog, and pointed to the top table. Sitting there was Esme and Carlisle, with adoring eyes onto Nellie; it would tear me apart taking her away from them again. Then something came to me.
"Alice would you like to explain how Nellie knew
"Where's Nellie?" I screamed at her, by accident, she looked even more shocked and cowered away like a told off dog, and pointed to the top table. Sitting there was Esme and Carlisle, with adoring eyes onto Nellie; it would tear me apart taking her away from them again. Then something came to me.
"Alice would you like to explain how Nellie knew all of "our" conversations about Edward, then miraculously told him?" I asked, with lots of sarcasm in my voice.
Now Alice's frown turned into a smile- a cheeky one, "Well Bella, I didn't see how you would tell Edward- without him getting mad, and I knew he couldn't get mad at Nellie so..." She trailed down, looking at her feet.
"You're just lucky that I acted like Nellie was the smartest ever!" I exclaimed back, but kind of happy that Alice had helped me out like that.
"Well she is! I hardly had to tell her anything, she knew most of it herself- don't underestimate her Bella! She's a very smart child, anyway where's Edward?" Now it was my turn to frown.
"I honestly... don't know...he said that he needed... needed some time to think so ran off." I sighed, looking down at my lovely bridesmaid shoes, they were ruined now, cover in grass stains- so was my dress, there was massive green strikes all down it. "Alice I'm really sorry, but I just want to go home, I'm sorry." I said, looking into her hurt eyes.
"B-but, you can't go yet! Hardly anyone has even met Nellie- please! Come on I've got a change of clothes of Jasper's room upstairs, you can get changed!" Trust Alice to be prepared with clothes, but I really didn't want to stay any longer, I was tired and just wanted to cry at home, though Nellie was having a ball of a time here; and it was mean to take her away from Edward's side of the family when they had finally just got to meet her...
"Come on!" Alice pleaded, taking my hand and pulling me out of the room and up the stairs to the hotel rooms, I heard Nellie call my name- but Alice wouldn't let me look back.
She pulled me running down the hall- though I didn't have a clue how she could run with her massive wedding dress and big heels- but it was Alice and somehow she managed.
"Here!" She squealed, opening the door, with a key that was hidden behind a very posh plant, that was by every door, "Just in emergencies." She winked at me, holding the key up.
She opened the door, to a very posh big hotel room- it opened into a big lounge, with a huge flat screen tele and a big cream leather sofa- you could tell boy's had been living here the night before, as there was random clothes everywhere and empty beer bottles.
"Boys!" Alice tittered, walking through the lounge and opening one of the many grand doors.
It led into another big spacious room, but in the middle of it was a big 4 poster bed- it reminded me of the one in Alice's huge bedroom, though this was a dark brown colour and made out of wood.
Alice went over to a dark wooded wardrobe- which matched the bed and got out a black dress.
"I had this prepared for you later anyway." She chirped, handing me it over- I didn't look at it too much, not really wanting to know what it looked like. "I'll just be out here."
She walked over to the door, but it opened before she got there.
"Bella! I'm sorry she just wouldn't stop crying." Esme shouted over Nellie's screams and calling's out of "Mummy" I quickly ran over to her and took her out of Esme's arms.
I sat down on the bed rocking her and shushing her- what had gotten into her? She'd never done this before, but then I guess she'd never been with nearly-strangers, for that amount of time before.
Luckily Nellie's cries soon turned into a whimper, as she wrapped her small arms around my neck- nearly strangling me.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked Esme, confusion filling my face- Nellie had never been a clingy child, though it was generally just me and her anyway.
"She started to ask for you, as soon as she saw you come in, then leave with Alice- then fat- I mean Auntie Pat came over to see her and she just burst into cries!" Esme exclaimed, I heard a snigger from Alice coming behind Esme.
"Well fat Pat could make any child cry really." This time Esme couldn't hold back the giggles either, laughing out loud with Alice- I didn't have a clue who "Pat" was so continued to hush Nellie.
"Come on Esme, Bella need's to get ready!" Alice chirped, while pulling Esme out of the door and closing it behind her.
I pulled Nellie away from me so that I could see her face, poor baby- it was covered in tears and her eyes were all swollen and puffy, I wiped the tears away with my fingers- as she finally stopped crying.
"Baby what happened?" I asked her, looking worried.
"I...I... thought ywo were gone mummy! Then a swary womann... c-c-cameee up tooo mwee andd I ... gott... scared." She whispered the last word, as she hated to act like a baby, I just hugged her tightly again putting my hand into the back of her hair- but being careful not to ruin it.
"Shshsh, darling I would never leave you! Come on Mummy need's to get changed, will you help me?" This instantly brightened up her face, and she nodded her head slowly, I put her on the bed while I started to get changed.

"Everything okay now?" A worried Esme asked, I felt sorry for Esme being put into the difficult decision.
"Yeah, yeah Nellie's just had a long day I think- it's all getting a bit too much for her." I replied, while patting Nellie's head with my free arm, the other had Nellie's hand wrapped around it tightly.
Nellie was back to her usual self now, I hated seeing her upset- but it still made me feel good knowing that it was me who made her better, she'd always be my little baby, and she'd managed to distract Edward from my mind, which was good.
"That's good, now come on! The evening do is about to start!" Alice chirped while jumping up and down excitedly- yes in a big white wedding dress.
I picked Nellie up as she was starting to get tired, and followed Esme and Alice downstairs. I decided to just sit back in my seat with Nellie on my lap, while watching drunk people sing on a karaoke machine- I had to admit it was quite funny.
Now and again family member's from Edward's side came and introduced themselves to me- word had gotten around about Nellie, fast- and told me what a wonderful daughter I had. I also got the chance to meet "fat pat" again, and could see how Nellie got scared, I tried not to laugh while talking to her- remembering Alice and Esme's chat about her. Overall though all of Edward's family seemed very nice, especially his grandparents- bless them, they were overjoyed to see their first great-grandchild, but unfortunately Nellie was fast asleep in my arms, by the time they came. I wondered if I would ever see these people again.
I stayed in my seat the whole night- not wanting to wake Nellie up, I just watched the people on the dance floor dance- especially Alice and Jasper's first dance- it was so romantic, it made me want to start crying again. Soon though when people started to leave, I decided it was time to get home myself, I got up carefully without waking Nellie up and whispered goodbye's to people.
It was when I got outside that I realised I had no car, but was grateful to learn that Alice had ordered a whole bunch of taxis- mainly for the drunk people, I got inside one of them and gave them the directions to Alice's house, as that was where my car was still.
Luckily Nellie managed to stay asleep during the whole journey and luckily I had some cash in my purse, so got Nellie out carefully and paid the taxi.
I walked over to the drive, where my car was parked and carefully put Nellie into her car seat- she must of been in a deep sleep, as she still didn't wake up, but I guess today must of been a very tire-able day for her, she was probably exhausted, I turned around to get into the car, but was stopped by a person in front of me.
"I... I just wanted to say goodnight to her" Edward's crisp cool voice spoke, I forgot that he must of gone back to Alice's.
"She's asleep." I managed to whisper back, staring into Edward's amazing green brilliant eyes.
"Can I see her?" He asked, I felt a tang of guilt that he felt like he had to ask to see his own daughter.
"Of course." I replied, moving to the side for him to see her.
He leaned into the car, giving her a kiss on the forehead- it gave me a warm feeling seeing my daughter and her Father finally together.
"She's beautiful." He whispered, taking his head out of the car and slowly closing the door behind her.
"I know." Was all I could say back.
"What... what did you tell her about me?" He asked, looking right into my eyes.
"Not much, she only asked once- and I told her... I told her you were gone for a while; she just left it as that." It felt so wrong telling him this, I could see the pain in his eyes, he just nodded.
"So... so what's going to happen now?" I asked, feeling a confident strike in me.
He took a deep breath before he replied, "I... I need some time Bella. I need to think this out, there's a lot to sink in." I nodded, this wasn't as bad as I was expecting, "I'll call you, soon I promise, maybe...maybe somehow one day we can be a proper family, I just needed to think it all through Bella." My heart raced when he talked about being a proper family- that was like all my wildest dreams coming true, could it really happen- one day?
"Please." I pleaded, looking deep into his eyes, he just walked over and kissed my forehead- I felt a tingle there for ages afterwards- and walked back into his house.
I took a deep breath, then got into my car and drove home.
