I reached out and opened the door more. I looked through everything and found the envelope.

"This is it," I said.

"How do you know?" Edward asked.

"I just do," I said. I opened it and pulled out what was inside. It was a picture of Arabel and me.

Choose wisely

I dropped the picture to the floor.

I reached for the picture that Bella had dropped and read it out loud. "Choose wisely," I said. Then I pulled Bella into my arms. She was shaking. "Shh," I cooed in her ear.

"What does that mean?" Arabel said, on the verge of tears, "Bella, what does that mean?"

Bella turned so she was looking at her sister. She pointed to her face. "Does it look like I fucking know?" she said.

Arabel laughed a little. "No," she said, "But you should!" Bella smiled a little. I loved that about them. They always knew exactly what to say to make the other one feel better, even if it didn't make sense to anyone else in the world.

Detective Jones took the picture from my hand. "I'm going to look into it," he said, "You guys hangout here." Then he left.

We were all quiet for a couple minutes. "I wonder what else is in here," Bella said. She pulled away from me and went back to the safe. She started pulling papers out. There were just random documents that their parents had. When she got to the bottom she moved her hand across the now empty safe. "What the…." She said.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She looked at me. "I think there's something under this," she said. I got up from the desk chair I was in and walked over to her. I lifted the bottom up and there was a bunch of DVD's under it with an envelope on top.

"What is it?" Arabel asked from the other end of the room where she sat in Sierra's lap.

"DVD's," I said. Then I picked up the envelope. "Bella and Ara," I read.

"What?" they said simultaneously.

"No," I said, "That's what it says." I showed them the envelope.

"Oh," they said at the same time again. Then they looked at each other. "Stop that," they said, "Oh fuck it." Then they laughed. Well we all laughed, I'm surprised they're not use to that already.

Bella took the envelope from me and read it out loud. "Bella and Ara," she read, "If you're reading this it means one of three things. One we gave it to you to read, two we are dead-"

"Why to be blunt about it…" Arabel said.

Bella chuckled. "-Or you guys got nosy again." Bella smiled a little. "Either way you're reading this. In this safe are a lot of important documents that we've used throughout our job. Underneath are movies, home movies. You're probably wondering why we'd lock up movies.-"

"You know me so well," Arabel said sarcastically.

"Arabel!" Bella laughed. I smiled at the sound. She hasn't laughed in a while…. "-These movies are special to us. They're some of our favorite memories of you two and we saved them for you to see. We…" Bella trailed off and I wrapped my arms around her waist. "Sorry," she said softly. "-We love you girls more than anything. Take care of each other. Love Mom and Dad."

It was quiet until Bella turned to me. "Can you help me get this out?" she asked, pointing to the movies. I nodded and lifted the box of movies out.

We all walked into the living room and put the first movie in. The screen showed a younger Bella and Arabel, they were probably about 11 and 10. The house was decorated for Christmas and Arabel was holding a doll.

"Nykole has one that's almost like it!" Arabel said, "They're Butterfly Dolls."

"Very nice," a women said from behind the camera (I'm guessing it was their mom). Then there was a beeping like a stove or something. Their mom put the camera down on the table and ran from the room. The camera was still pointed at Bella and Arabel.

"I got a new dolly," Arabel said.

Bella twirled her hair. "Mommy," she said in a girly voice, "I got a new dolly."

Bella laughed. "Oh my god!" Bella said, "I remember this!"

Arabel started laughing. Then Bella started dong the Macarena. "Mommy… I got a new dolly," she said again. Then she and Ara were practically rolling on the floor laughing.

We were all laughing. "Why did you start doing the Macarena?" I asked her.

"I have no idea," she said, "We were doing that for weeks though."

The screen changed to the kitchen. Then someone took the camera and put it on a chair. Then Bella's face was in front of the camera. "Shhhh," she said. She looked about 13 or so.

Arabel looked at Bella. "You realize that camera can't talk right?" she said.

"Shut up," Bella said, "This funny just watch."

Then everyone sat down to eat. "I need to tell you guys something," Arabel said after a couple minutes.

Their mom looked at her, "What?" she asked.

"I'm…. I'm gay," Arabel said.

Their dad spit out the drink he had just drank. Then Bella choked on what she was eating because she was laughing so hard.

Bella and Arabel were laughing. "That was like the funniest thing ever," Ara laughed.

"Oh my god. I think I'm crying," Bella said. I laughed and kissed her head.

The next shot they were about 5 or 6. They were watching some Disney movie. "I can't wait until I meet my prince charming," little Bella said.

"Boys are nasty," Arabel said.

"What do you want you prince to be like Bella?" their mom asked from behind the camera.

"Hummmm," Bella said, "He's gunna be very handsome."

Her mom laughed, "Oh really?" she said.

"Yeah!" Bella said, "He's gunna be really sweet and caring. He's take care of me when I need him… He'll be perfect! OH! And he'll have green eyes!"

"Green eyes?" her mom asked, "How do you know that?"

Bella shrugged, "I just do," she said.

"Damn, Bella!" Arabel said, "You're good!"

Bella blushed and I pulled her to me. "You're adorable," I said.

"That's embarrassing," she said.

I chuckled, "Did I live up to your expectations?" I asked.

She looked up at me and smiled. "Yes," she said. I smiled back and kissed her.

I was sitting on my bed watching TV while Edward took a shower. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was watching though. I was looking at the promise ring that Edward had given me. It was so pretty and, surprisingly, I actually couldn't wait until we got engaged. I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

"You're so beautiful," I heard Edward say softly.

I looked up and saw him standing in the doorway. I blushed a little. "Thanks," I said.

He crawled into bed next to me and pulled me close. "You okay?" he asked.

I nodded. "I'm just scared," I said.

"Nothing's going to happen to you," he said, "I promise. I'm going to protect you, no matter what."
