Chapter 29: Guests and Visitors

Alice POV:

"Hmmmmmm" I sighed out loud while adjusting myself in Bella's arms. We were laying on the couch at my place, relaxing after a long day of school. She had gone to read a book quietly, but I had missed being with her all day, so I positioned myself in her lap while she read. I enjoyed the rhythm of her chest rising and falling with each breath, and her chin resting on the top of my head. It was a pleasant afternoon.

"Awwww. Aren't you two just the cutest?" Emmett walked by with a mock high pitched squeal.

"Oh go away Emmett. We're relaxing." I rolled my eyes at him. He let out another laugh before leaving to go find Rosalie. Jasper smiled at me from across the room while he read in an armchair. Esme was busy in the kitchen, per usual when her favorite daughter was here. "Hey." I said while nudging Bella with my head to get her attention.

"Mmm?"

"Why do you think I had visions of you with golden eyes? Like ours?"

"That's an interesting question. I'm not sure really." She shifted slightly to put one hand on my abdomen. "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. Just curious I guess. I wondered if you had any hypothesizes with that brilliant mind of yours."

"Well let's see here then. You said yourself the future is always changing right?"

"Right."

"So maybe you saw me becoming one of your kind at first. I mean it would make sense, you said you saw it happening." That is true. I did see her becoming one of us way back when. But then we left. "And then when the future of you leaving became more distinguished, and the Volturi made decisions about what they wanted to do, your vision of me changed." Wow. That did make a lot of sense. Even Jasper looked up from his book curiously.

"Alice that actually makes a lot of sense. I'd like to tell Carlisle and see what he thinks when he returns home." Jasper said still thinking. He nodded to himself and then returned to his book.

While her theory made total sense, I couldn't help but be saddened by it. I had a chance to be with her without all the pain she went through and I missed it. All the times I wished I was the first person she slept with instead of stupid Jacob Black. All those times I wished I could take away her bad memories and dreams. But I couldn't be unhappy now. I should be grateful that I even have her now.

"Have I ever told you that you're a genius?" I angled my head to look up at her while asking.

"Why yes actually. Just last week-"

"Oh shut up." I giggled at her teasing. She kissed the top on my head and then rested her cheek on it.

"Bella dear." Esme came into the room. "I made you some snacks honey."

"Oh thank you Esme but really I'm fine. There's no need to cook every time I come over."

"Oh nonsense Bella. You need to eat more. Alice get off her so she can eat."

"Mommmmmm!" I whined. She was trying to take my play thing away. I could feel Bella's torso vibrate with silent laughter. "She can eat later ok? Can't we just have some relaxation time?"

"Oh fine! But that means you're staying the night Bella. I need to get some proper food in you. Does that sound alright?"

"Uhhhhhh…" Bella said uncomfortably. I could feel her body heat up in a blush.

"Oh come on Bells! We all know what two consenting adults do at night time! And the rooms are soundproofed if it makes you feel better!"

"Emmett!" Esme and I both yelled simultaneously. Jasper started chuckling and Bella's blush got even worse.

"Come on babe. Can you stay the night? For me?" I put on my puppy dog eyes and turned to face her.

"Awww come on Alice! That's no fair! Yes fine I'll stay." She grumbled in annoyance. Victory!

Esme made an enormous dinner for Bella of course, but afterwards we just laid in front of the fire I made. We never used the fireplace since nobody who lived here needed the warmth, but it was actually quite cozy. After a while I could tell she was getting sleepy by the way her heart was slowing down, so we bid everyone a good night and went up to my room.

"You know we're not doing anything tonight right? It would just feel weird. Especially the first night I officially stay here." She looked at me concerned that I would jump her or something.

"Of course. Besides you're too tired anyways and you need the sleep." I rolled my eyes at her. "But you know, everyone in this house does it."

"Ugh Alice thanks for the mental pictures." She grimaced at me while changing into her sleeping sweats and tank top. I had moved and bought some clothes she liked to my closet. She already had her own two drawers in one of my dressers.

"Even Carlisle and Esme."

"Aliceeee!" She covered her ears like a small child and I laughed. "I do not want to hear these things! They're practically my parents. And they are yours!" Bella got into bed still shaking her head of the images. My heart was warmed greatly by her words.

"They would love that you know." I whispered to her. She smiled sadly at me, it was a sensitive subject, but she didn't block me out like she used to.

"Anyways," she changed the subject lightly, but not in a defensive way. "When did you become the pervy one and I became the prude?"

"Ah. I believe that was right when we started having sex." I put on a mock serious face. "I'm addicted baby. I'm addicted to you and there is no cure."

"Well you might as well face it, you're addicted to love."

"Nice!" I giggled as she shoved me playfully.

"Well you better contain yourself or I'm kicking you out of this bed."

"Yes ma'am." I gave her a mock salute before settling myself in her chest like usual.

"Night." She yawned into my hair.

"Goodnight Bella. Sweet dreams."

Bella POV:

I was awoken in the morning by the glorious smell of bacon. Alice giggled as I sat bolt upright, sniffing the air.

"Is someone hungry this morning?"

"You bet I am!" I jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs towards the food with Alice trailing behind me. Don't judge me ok? I'm part wolf and I get hungry. "Esme you are an angel." She set the most wonderful looking plate of food in front of me.

"And that is why you are my favorite child." She kissed my cheek and left the kitchen to bid her husband goodbye for the day. I immediately started shoveling the food down my throat. If this is how the mornings are around here maybe I will start staying the night with Alice more.

"Alright everyone be good at school today!" Carlisle called while walking out the door. There were a few 'yeah's and 'maybe's that followed from around the house. He chuckled and kissed Esme goodbye before the door shut behind him. Esme snatched my empty plate right as I finished so I wouldn't get up to wash it.

"Esme that's no fair! After all you did cook everything! The least I can do is clean up after myself."

"Oh we have a family rule that you're not allowed near the sink to wash dishes anymore." Alice whispered to me. "It's probably for the best." I grimaced at the memory of what happened last time I tried to wash a dish here. That was unpleasant. But it did lead me to being happy with Alice now so it all worked out in the end.

"Fine." I grumbled. Just then the doorbell rang loudly.

"I got it!" Emmett called since he was closest to the door at the time. "Probably a package or something. Alice didn't you order some lingerie?"

"EMMETT!" She yelled at him angrily and I started choking with laughter. "Come on Bella. We need to shower before school." Alice took my hand to lead me upstairs while I was still laughing uncontrollably. We had gotten to the first step before I stopped dead in my tracks, hearing Emmett's strained voice.

"Well, hello Edward."

A/N: DUN DUN DUN! Gasp! Oh no! Stay tuned for the next episode of "Four Walls" by yours truly. Yeah I don't know. I've been in a really good weird mood lately. :D
