"I like that idea. I'm sure Bella will love it." Alice nodded.
"Also, I wanted to ask you a favor. Do you think you could teach Bella how to do the kings and queens waltz? I think that would be a perfect first dance. I think Bella would enjoy it."
"Of course!" Alice agreed happily, smiling at me. Turning around towards the house, I knew I couldn't wait for Bella and I to marry.
EPOV - Week before wedding
It is now, one week before Bella and I's wedding. For us, it came quicker than we had expected, but none the less, we were excited. In the end, Bella and I decided to wait to move in together until we are married. It would have made more sense anyways looking at the short amount of time between proposal and actual wedding.
Right now, Rosalie and Esme were at Bella's house, with Bella as they helped her pack up her room. With my mother and sister helping, I knew it would very easily be done by the end of today. Sitting with my father, brothers, as well as Jacob and Seth, we were all relaxing, after dealing with a few tasks that Alice had asked us to do, which was basically asking us to help finish building the bench seats, that where made out of a couple trees. We had to sand them, seal them, and place a layer of sealant to help avoid splinters or the bark from catching on the formal wear of our guests.
Charlie was on his way to Seattle, insisting on picking up Renee and Phil from the airport, Carlisle had accompanied him, conversating with Charlie on the ride. I was sure that Charlie was enjoying that, probably getting Carlisle to talk to him about how the world was then.
We were all talking in the living as Bella and my sisters had returned. Due to their speed, they were able to pack everything, leaving stuff out for Bella to have clothes and her important stuff for the rest of the week. Emmett decided to use this time to ask Bella about her feelings before the wedding.
"So, you nervous?" He asked Bella.
"A little, bit I'm really excited. To finally be part of the family."
Emmett immediately got up and sat next to Bella. Sitting there, he moved closer and pulled her into a bear hug. "I can't wait to have you as a new sister. I can't for everything that will come with you and Edward's marriage."
Bella smiled and nodded. She then looked over at Alice nervously after she looked at the clock.
"So, ready for the party Bella?"
"What party?!" I asked. That's what she was hiding from me when she was singing the arabic alphabet in her mind.
"Well, Alice and Rosalie are insisting on throwing me a bachelorette party."
I looked over at her. I was hoping they wouldn't take her to anything too uncomfortable for Bella. "No worries Eddie. She'll be fine. We will be back before midnight. We just have to wait for Renee to get here." I was a little concerned. No one would tell me where they were taking Bella. Though, I guess I didn't need to know. They wouldn't take me anywhere that was inappropriate or dangerous. Calming down, I hugged Bella to me, rubbing her upper arm.
Soon I heard Charlie's cruiser coming off the road and onto the driveway. As they pulled even closer, Bella got excited, though she stayed put until her mother came into the house. Just as her mother and step-father made it into the house, she launched herself off of the couch and towards her mother, wrapping her arms around her, hugging her closely. I smiled at their interaction. Anytime they ever saw one another, they were like two peas in a pod. They hardly left one another's side.
She then walked over towards her step-father and hugged him tightly, "Hi Phil!"
"Hey there kiddo. How's it going?"
"It's going well." She said. She then looked towards her father and hugged him. "How are you dad?"
"I'm doing good Bells. Thank you for those pre-made meals by the way." Bella nodded.
"Of course dad. Knowing you, you would burn the house down."
Renee giggled. "Okay dear, enough chatter, let's get going. Alice and Rosalie planned all of this and we can't not have fun."
Bella blushed and nodded. She walked over to me and hugged me before placing a kiss on my cheek. Slowly she left with the woman and we all looked at one another.
"I hope she will be okay." Charlie said.
"Huh?" I asked, looking at Charlie.
"Well, Renee may seem sweet and innocent, but she is one hell of a partier. No matter where they may be going, she might be in some trouble." Charlie said, chuckling.
"Oh dear..." Emmett joked, chuckling as he looked at me.
BPOV
Once we were in the car, I knew that I had made a bad choice, from seeing the smirks on Alice and Rosalie's faces. "Um... where are we going exactly?" I asked. Why would I need to dress up? I was wearing a red green tank top, skinny jeans, and a pair of my hiking boots. I guess this wasn't dressing up, but I felt a little weird going somewhere at this time of day wearing this.
"You'll see." Rosalie said, smiling. She then grabbed an eye mask and handed it to Renee. "Can you put that on her? She can't know where we are going until we get there."
"Alright." Renee said, smiling. "Close your eyes dear."
I sighed and took in a deep breath before doing so. Once the mask was on, I could feel that we were still on the road for ten more minutes before the car the stopped. I could feel someone's hands... my mother's helping my out of the car. Just before we entered the building, I felt someone place something on my head, but I couldn't remove the eye mask to see what that was. Not even minutes later, I started to hear some kind of music, it was different from what I usually listened to, actually it was something that I would never choose to listen to on my own.
Suddenly someone on the PA system of the building spoke. "Whoa! Ladies and gentlemen! We have a bride to be in the house tonight! Let's show that girl a great time tonight!"
Suddenly, Alice pulled the eye mask off of my face and once I realized where I was I tried to make a run for it, but some man moved in front of me, no doubt one of the dancers. "Come on beautiful. It is your last night single, wouldn't you care for a dance?"
"YES SHE WOULD!" All the women yelled, aside from Alice. Esme walked over to me and whispered into my ear.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that this is where we were going. But now that we are here, we just have to deal with this for tonight, alright dear?"
I looked at her and nodded. The man took my hand and dragged me to a table where I was embarrassed by the fact that parts of his body were in my face that I didn't want there. I wouldn't admit it out loud, but the only person that I am okay with being that close to me that way, is my fiance Edward, but I endured it for Alice and Rosalie.
As soon as Alice and Rosalie said we could leave, I bolted out the door and got into the car.
Once we got home, I didn't bother to go see Edward first, instead I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom where I stepped into the shower.
EPOV
I heard the car coming and I stood in the living room, waiting to embrace Bella, but when they entered, Bella ran passed the living room and straight towards the bathroom in my room. I was concerned until I heard the water running. I nodded to myself and as Alice and Rosalie walk in, I see Alice twirling a "Bride" crown around her finger. I groaned.
"Alice?!"
"Yes, yes, I know. She was red like a tomato. It was quite funny actually. Bella tried running out, but I must say, Renee is pretty strong, even for a human..."
I heard Emmett burst out laughing as Charlie chuckled. "Told ya kid."
I sighed and looked at Esme. It wasn't anything I had to do with dear. I wasn't sure where we were going, but it was fun none the less. No one got feely with her if that is what you are worried about. Just a guy or two talked with her and asked her about you and what her fiance was like.
I nodded in relief and soon I heard Bella's shower end. Waiting another ten minutes before I decided I was going to go check on her.
"Good idea kid. Good night Edward."
I nodded to him and my family. When I arrived in my room, I didn't see Bella right away, until I saw her standing on the balcony. Moving out towards her, I wrapped my arms around her waist, hugging her. "Bella are you alright?" I ask.
"Yes, I'm okay. I'm just thinking."
"About what?" I ask as I turn her towards me.
She smiled at me and simply said, "The future." She then yawned.
Smiling at her, I picked her up into my arms and carried her over the threshold of the balcony and my room. She didn't fight me and just rested against me, nestling against my body. It wasn't long after that that she had fallen asleep and I took that moment to caress her cheek, looking at her face, wishing I could read her mind. Oh well, someday I will be able to and when that day comes, it will be magnificent. Smiling, I pulled her to me gently and kissed her forehead.
"Good night Bella, sweet dreams."
