Chapter 29

"Alice?" I asked with a smile on my face.

Was today reunion day or something? First Melissa; now Alice? She looked up at me and stared at me for a while. Realization soon spread through her features before the shock did, "Bella?" she asked as she stood up.

I grinned at her before I embraced her in a tight hug, "I missed you so much Alice."

She hugged me back just as tight, "I missed you Bells."

I pulled away to find her with tears in her eyes, "It's been so long. How is everything? What's new?" I asked.

She hooked her arm around mine as we started walking back to a bench, "How about you say hi to Jasper first." I looked over to find the same old Jasper sitting down reading a newspaper. We walked over to him quietly.

"I see you still can't pick up a book," I told him with a smile once we were standing in front of him.

He looked up at me with a confused expression, "Bella?"

I smiled before I bent down and gave him a hug. I pulled away and Alice sat next to him. I sat next to Alice, "So you guys got married ha?" I asked with a grin.

Alice smiled as she wrapped her arm around Jasper's, "Yeah we got married eight years ago."

"Damn!" I couldn't help but be shocked. They looked like a recently married couple not like a couple that's almost been together for almost ten years.

They chuckled at my shocked expression, "Don't be so surprised," Alice told me.

"I know I shouldn't be," I said once I managed to close my mouth, "It's just…you guys look like you got married like last week."

Alice grinned, "I guess that's a compliment. So how are things with you going?" she asked.

"Great…how about you?" things were great now right?

"Same. We have a son now and we're living not too far from here," she informed me.

"Your son is adorable," I told her as I looked over at him.

"Thank you," she replied back with a smile.

"So how's Rosalie?" I asked suddenly remembering the old days.

"She moved from here a long time ago with Emmett. They live in Alaska now," she told me with a sad smile.

"Well that's…good right?" I asked a bit confused by her expression.

"Yeah it is it's just…I had no one to talk to after she left," she said in a sad tone.

"Aww I'm sorry Ali. I wouldn't have left if I knew," I told her honestly. Sort of.

"Enough about me…what have you been up to? Are you still with Edward?" she asked.

I bit my lip and nodded, "I'll have to admit my life hasn't exactly been a smooth ride but everything's better now."

"So are you still with Edward?" she asked.

"Yeah we just got married actually," I told her. She took my hand and examined the ring closely.

"Barely? Haven't you guys been together for like 9 years already?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah but we've had a few bumps and rough turns in our relationship," I replied honestly.

"I'm sorry," she said as she placed her hand on top of mine, "So do you guys plan on having kids anytime soon because you know you guys aren't getting any younger."

I chuckled, "We actually already have a kid."

She grinned at me, "Oh! Really? I guess that's why you're here isn't it?"

I smiled, "Yeah," I looked over to find Carlie playing with Jacob, "She's over there playing with Jacob," I said as I pointed over at them.

"It's a girl!" she said in excitement.

I laughed, "Yeah why are you so surprised?" I asked.

"I don't know I always thought Edward would be having boys not girls," she replied back as she looked over at Carlie. "She's beautiful. How old is she?" she asked.

"She just turned two a couple months ago," I said with a smile.

"What's her name?" she asked. She seemed to be mesmerized by Carlie.

"Carlie," I told her as I bit my lip lightly.

"She looks a lot like both of you," she finally looked away from Carlie and looked at me.

I smiled at her, "Thank you. Jacob looks more like you for some reason," I told her honestly.

She chuckled, "I think so too." We chatted for an hour or so before Carlie came over to me because she was tired.

"Well I better get going Alice. It was nice seeing you again. If you ever need anything you know where to find me," I told her with a smile before I gave her a gentle hug.

"Bye Bella. Be careful," she told me as I strapped Carlie into the stroller.

I smiled. Why is everyone telling me that today? Its like the word 'Danger Magnet' is written all over me or something. "I will. Bye," I said before I started walking home again. Seeing Alice again made me feel happy that I still had a friend. Now that Angie seems to be mad because her husband calls my name in bed I had no friends.

I wonder if Will fixed that little problem of his already. Hopefully because just the thought of him doing that gives me the creeps. I stopped in my steps when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked around, a bit paranoid I'll have to admit, but didn't see anyone. But then again there are trees everywhere so who knows if someone if watching me.

I quickly picked up my pace and pushed the stroller faster in front of me. I don't think I'm paranoid anymore I think someone's following me. But then again wouldn't someone paranoid think that. I stopped by the front door closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself.

Edward was here already and I didn't want him to get worried about something that was most likely not there. Once I was feeling better I got inside and took Carlie out of the stroller. I could hear Edward in the living room watching something.

I slowly went upstairs with Carlie resting on my shoulder and tucked her in her bed. I walked back down and put the stroller away before I walked over to the living room. I stopped behind the couch when I saw that Edward was sitting right in front of the TV screen.

"Bella?" what the hell is he watching?

"Somethings…wrong," I heard myself say before I all the commotion started.

"Turn the camera off! Turn it off!" I walked around the couch still confused and sat down beside Edward. He didn't even realize I was sitting next to him. I looked at the screen and realized what he was watching.

"Where did you get this?" I asked him making him turn and look at me with wide eyes.

"When did you get home?" he asked confused as he paused the home movie.

"A couple minutes ago," I told him as I looked at the screen confused, "Where did you get this?" I asked again.

"Your mom dropped by earlier to apologize to us and said she wanted me to see this," he told me as he looked back at the screen and pushed play. I looked at his face intently. I didn't notice before but his eyes seemed a bit red and puffy. I hope it was because he was crying.

I looked back at the screen in thought and a bit heartbroken from his expression. Was he crying because of something he saw? Did I say something in the video that hurt him? Maybe I should ask? I bit my lip lightly and slowly glanced over at him, "Edward?"

He looked over at me and paused the movie, "What's wrong?" he asked.

"I was about to ask you the same question," I told him as I scooted closer to him.

"What do you mean?" he asked confused.

"Were you crying?" I asked as I reached up and lightly traced the circles under his eyes.

He looked away from my eyes and at the ground, "Uh yeah I was," he confessed.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

A/N: What do you think? Why was he crying? Crying doesn't make a guy a wuss right? Please review!
