"My what!" She yelled. "I want my Mom there with me or something though before I just run off and get married!" She said getting up.

"Bella, we said why we couldn't do that…" He said to her leaning against the wall.

"I know, I know. It's just that my mind knows that can't be an option, but my heart won't believe it." Bella said.

Edward walked over and hugged her, but flinched when he heard a car horn. "Ah, that must be Alice and everyone. You better go now." He said giving her a gentle push.

"Wait. Aren't you coming?" Bella asked him.

"Guys don't go to things like this. Like, you wouldn't see my outfit until our wedding day." He said. Then he heard another honk.

"Go now, Bella. I'll be fine here with everyone else." He said pushing her toward the 'new' door.

"Fine then, Edward. But when I come back, you better be here." She teased him.

"I will be. Where else can I be?" He joked. Then he opened the door and shoved her outside. But before closing it, he took a key that he found on a key hook by the door and handed it to her.

"You may need to get in." He laughed. Bella took the key and put it in her pants pocket.

"See ya." He said to her giving her a quick kiss.

"Miss you." Bella said kissing him back. Then Edward shut the door and Bella walked down the steps and towards a silver Envoy. She opened the back door and climbed in fastening her seatbelt. In the front were Rosalie and Esme. And sitting in the seat next to her was Alice. Alice immediately gave her a hug and was bouncing in her seat up and down.

Bella looked down shyly and kicked her foot slightly in the air.

"So, Bella, are you ready to get married?" Esme asked starting up a conversation.

"Well, I'm nervous …" She said truthfully.

"Oh, don't worry about that!" She said to her looking at her threw the front mirror as Rosalie backed up the car and pulling onto the road.

"I was shaking like a leaf when I married Carlisle. And look at me now." She said winking at her.

"I still think it's kind of scary, and sad that my parents can't be there." She replied looking down at the floor.

"Oh, don't worry about that." Esme said to her.

"It'll be fine." Alice added suddenly as Rosalie took a sharp right turn onto a road called, "Ashburn Road."

Everyone was silent the rest of the way until suddenly Bella heard Rosalie announce, "We're here." Everyone looked out of their window to see a large looking store. There wasn't anybody inside that they could see, but that didn't stop everyone from getting out of the car.

Bella unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the Envoy closing her door shut as Rosalie locked the doors. The car responded with a small beep.

Esme, Rosalie, and Alice walked into the store. The last one to enter was Bella. She looked around, but one thing in particular caught her eye. There was a small sign with the words "You know the wedding gown is the one meant to be, when a single tear sheds from you eye." Bella smiled at the sign. It was something she would remember when picking out her dress.

"Hello!" Said a friendly girl in about her 30s. She had brown with blonde highlights in her hair that seemed to suit her. Was about as tall as Bella with a tannish complexion. She was slightly overweight, but not by that much and was actually very pretty.

"Are you the Cullen reservation?" She asked them going up to her computer and checking.

"Yes, we are." Alice replied from another side of the room. Of course, she was already looking at wedding gowns and pulling some down. Bella gave a small laugh as she watched her.

"Well, you're right on time. You can start looking, and the changing rooms are on the left." She said pointing to a door. "And if you need the bathroom or anything, it's on the right." She pointed to the other side of the room.

"If you need me, just say my name. It's Claire, by the way." She said. Then she walked over to what looked like a small glass staff room and sat down taking a quick drink of some soda and picked up a book.

"Bella, look at this one! It's so exotic!" Alice announced as she showed her a high cut wedding dress.

"Oooh, and this one! And this one! And you have to try on this on!" She said to her piling about 2 dozen dresses in her arms. Bella laughed as she looked around.

Esme and Rosalie were looking at some wedding magazines while Bella and Alice looked around. But before Bella could actually look, Alice grabbed her hand and pulled her into one of the dressing rooms handing her dresses that were super poofy, and some that looked like plain old lingerie.

"Uh, Alice? You want me wearing lingerie on my wedding day?" She said picking up a dress with a slit in every direction.

"Well, I thought you might have liked if for your honeymoon." She said with a smirk. Bella stared at her.

"Alice, that's disgusting!" She said digging her head in her hands of embarrassment.

"Hey, it's the Circle of life!" she said laughing at her.

Bella just groaned. "Alice…" She growled.

"Fine, fine, but if you're going to be that way, I'll take these back and let you look at your own…" She said with a small pout.

"Okay then!" Bella said jumping up. Alice just looked at her and put the dresses back.

Bella came out of the dressing room and stepped outside looking around at all of the dresses. Some were pale, yellow, blue, even a few black ones! Bella walked away from those to look at the solid white ones. She saw a few with sparkles and some that had ribbons everywhere on them.

But then as she looked around, she saw one that looked perfect. She immediately grabbed it; not even thinking about the money it cost, and tried it on. There was no mirror in the room, so she had to step outside with it to the giant mirror there. That's when everyone noticed her. Alice, Esme, even the all beautiful Rosalie looked up at her in jealousy as she walked towards the mirror. She was absolutely stunning in it.

It was a white dress with a pale tannish color at the top in some design, and a design towards her hips where the dressed made sort of ad arrow pointing down (Not like that. . ;) And then a design on the bottom of the dress with a small tail all around. And also a small ribbon going down all the way making a pattern in the back. It was also strapless. (If you want the picture, email me.)

Alice immediately rushed to Bella and gave her a hug. "Bella, I think this is the one!" She said to her looking at it on her. "Look in the mirror!" She said.

Bella took a deep breath and turned around looking in it. She looked at herself in it. And just kept on staring. Then she spoke up and said something, a single tear rolling down her eye. "I'm getting married…" She said. "I'm getting married!" She said again. "I can't believe it!" She said immediately giving Alice a hug.

It was so beautiful, Rosalie even stared in shock. Then she walked over and found a pair of shoes that went perfectly. Bella slipped her foot into it and then walked around in it. It seemed comfortable enough. And wasn't high enough to kill her.

"I think we have a winner." Rosalie said to her suprising both Bella, and herself when she reached over and gave her a hug.

Then she let go. "Bella, now that you found your dress, are you ready to go now?" She asked her looking at the time. She shop was going to close soon. And she was pretty sure that everyone wanted to get home to their loved one. It was sort of weird if you thought about it. Everyone in the Cullens household had a signifigant other. Alice had Jasper, Esme had Carlisle, Rosalie had Emmett, and now, Edward had Bella. And Bella had Edward. In other words, they had each other. Which was nice. Bella nodded and walked towards the dressing room.

She slipped off the dress and put on her clothes. But then she looked at the price tag. "$15,540!" She yelled as she opened up the dressing room door.

"I can't pay for this!" She said turning back to put it on a sales rack when Esme stopped her.

"We're paying for it, Bella. Not the other way around." She commented taking the dress from her hands.

"But, I can't have you doing that for me!" She pleaded taking the dress back.

"Bella, you're part of the family now. And it's quite alright. And trust me. It's not like we're going to become bankrupt any time soon, you know." She said with a small laugh.

"…but it just doesn't feel right!" She said to her.

"Just think of it as your mother buying you something."

"But this is different."

"Bella, just stop. I'm buying you this dress. Now stop ranting."

"But, Esme…"

"No buts! I don't want to hear it!" She said taking the dress from her and walking over to the sales desk. "Claire!" She said.

The sales woman jumped up from her book and hurried over ringing up the dress. As Esme wrote a check for it, Bella leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. Alice and Rosalie came over.

"Bella, seriously. Don't feel so bad about it. You're pretty much part of the family and well be fine." Rosalie said with unknown kindness.

"I know, I know. It just doesn't…feel right. You know?" She asked them.

"Yeah, but don't worry about it." Alice churped in.

Esme walked over to all of them. "Ready to go now?" She asked them with a bag in her hand and a dress in a cover in her other hand.

"Yes, we're pretty much ready." Rosalie said to her.

"Oh, and don't worry. I got every thing else extra that you needed. Like a headpiece and a tiera and all that." Esme replied with a smirk.

"What!" Bella exclaimed.

"Really, Bella, don't worry about it" Alice said to her as she climbed into the back seat.

"Well, since I was pretty much no help, how about I drive home?" She said refusing to get into the car.

"Bella," Esme started.

"No, really! It's the least I can do!"
"Well, do you know the way back?"

"…no. But I'm a fast learner!" She insisted.

"Bella," Alice started. "just get in the car." She said reaching her hand over across the car towards her.

Bella shook her head for the hand, but climbed into the car. She shuther door and put on her seatbelt, and they all started their drive back towards the vampire infested home…
