I know, I know...its been a while. Writer's block is no joke guys. I had to take a massive break from the story so that I could get my thoughts together. If anyone plays the Mass Effect trilogy on either the PC or game consoles, give my Miri/Femshep 2 Shot a read. And another thing: I lost my subscription to Microsoft word so if the format looks weird, I'm sorry :-/.

Sunlight filtered through the blinds of Alice's room that morning and Bella hid her face to hide from the brightness. She shook her head in the pillow she was laying on the night before and refused to open her eyes. In defiance, Bella wrenched her eyes shut trying to block out any and all disturbances from her much needed rest.

In her naked state, Bella felt around the bed trying to find the cold body of her wife. Nothing but emptiness met her touch and that was what made her finally open her eyes. Bella rolled over from her belly and onto her back and sat up in the comfy bed. The top sheet covered her chest to make sure she kept some resemblance of modesty. She held it to her body as she looked around the room looking for any sign of Alice, but the only sight she saw was the pile of clothes from the night before.

A beautiful soreness covered her entire body as she stretched and scratched her back in routine. It was something she did every morning upon waking, and it was something that she wondered if it would fade with her changing.

A glorious smell invaded her nostrils before she could think anything more about it so she rushed to get dressed in some pajamas and went down the stairs toward the kitchen.

Bella found her wife and mother in law both at the stove in the massive kitchen. Their backs were toward her so she could watch the interaction, which she assumed was making breakfast for their human.

Upon her stomach growl however, both vampires turned and saw the brunette smiling at them with a dreamy expression. Alice walked around the island and kissed her wife good morning. She sighed feeling the softness of Bella's lips. Both girls were eager for more but the polite cough from Esme brought the two out of their revere.

"I'm sorry Bella, Alice and I were trying to make you breakfast before you woke up." Alice moved behind the brunette and wrapped her arms around her midsection. Bella smiled at the attention and put her hands on top of Alice's soaking up her presence.

"It's okay, Esme. We all know how hard it is to teach our little pixie something. The only things that she's interested in is fashion and shopping." Bella responded in jest. She felt her wife poke her waist to try and tickle her.

"You forget one thing darling, anything related to you is another thing that interests me." Alice kissed the skin of her neck and she felt the goosebumps rise in response. Esme smiled at the interaction and turned to continue making Bella's breakfast.

In a few short moments, three of the best pancakes were placed upon a glass plate, with golden maple syrup and a slab of butter. The human's mouth began to water just looking at the platter. She loved the fact that her mother in law was a 'professional chef'. Bella just chalked it up to being a housewife for so many years. Esme had to do something with her time so she figured that she could find a passion in both interior design and cooking.

She shook her head in disbelief and dug into her breakfast. A few moments passed and unsurprisingly, scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon made it's way onto the plate. Bella moaned at the taste of the perfect pillow-y pancakes. The syrup dripped out of the corner of her mouth and her tongue peeked out to grab it.

Alice watched her wife in rapt attention and her pupils were blown at the sight of the pink member slipping out from between Bella's lips. She thanked God that she had hunted before her wife woke that morning, but her desire for the brunette made her feel a different kind of hunger.

Thankfully, Esme had left the two alone after the sides to Bella's breakfast were plated so Alice didn't have to hide her expression.

As Bella ate, Alice's thoughts turned to the previous night. So much pleasure was experienced last night for both parties. Bella touched her with such tenderness and love. The girl was totally attuned to Alice's body and the way that she was responding to everything that happened. The brunette's fingertips, hands, lips, and tongue littered every area of the pixie's body. Each girl experienced pleasures that some could only dream of. She had a feeling that the mate connection amplified each and every touch and feeling they shared.

The clank of the silverware on the glass plate brought Alice out of the pleasure fueled memories and she blinked the dilation of her pupils away. Bella turned to her and put her hands on her shoulders, looking deep in her eyes. Alice's eyes were so perfect to her. Her eyes, her skin, her voice, and her touch, were only some of the most perfect things in Bella's world now. Her wife; Alice was finally her wife.

From the moment they met, Bella knew that the pixie would be someone important to her. If you told her 5 years ago that she would be married and ingrained in the vampire world and all but begging for her vampire wife to change her into one of them, she would've called you crazy and laughed. Bella leaned forward and pressed her lips to Alice's own.

Sighing contently, the two women kept the kiss chaste and Alice began to talk about the plans for their upcoming honeymoon.

"Now since we should really make an appearance at Volterra, we should really go shopping for the occasion. I mean you could wear a paper bag and still look beautiful but Aro has an old fashioned way of doing things." Bella nodded in understanding. Usually Lords of the Manor would have some large banquet or something of that nature when esteemed guests would arrive, but this was a have for vampires and up until recently, ones that drank human blood. Sure all humans who donated their blood were willing participants, especially the ones that the Lords and Ladies drank from the source, and they had no fear of being changed accidentally.

Again Bella really did hate shopping, but she began to see the brighter side of it when it came to Alice. She decided that this would be one of those times that they compromised like any other normal couple.

So, the human finished her breakfast and the two went upstairs to change into their outfits for the day. Albeit with some distraction, they made it out of the house that day.

Bella held Alice's hand as she drove her Porsche through town and toward Seattle. The capital would surely have more stores to browse than the small town of Port Charlotte.

The mall there provided everything that they needed. Plenty of stores to choose from and a big enough food court that took the human over and hour to choose what she wanted for lunch.

Each store they ventured into didn't really have what Bella had been looking for. She really wanted something that would knock the socks off of any vampire and human alike. She wanted something that would showcase a lot of her attractive features; her eyes, arms and neck were three of those that she really worried about.

While Alice left to go hunt for that afternoon, Bella walked into a store that showcased a lot of formal wear. Dresses and tuxes alike littered the walls and clothing racks inside. She felt some of the material and gazed at the dresses that had some accented jewelry on it but she didn't think that bedazzled looks would wow the old coven of vampires. She needed something old-fashioned, yet sexy.

Bella saw an associate at the counter, an older gentleman with his longer silver hair tied up in a ponytail. He was finishing up with another customer who was trying to pick out a tuxedo for a special occasion. It was a pale blue suit that looked as if it belonged in an 80's movie like Footloose or something but hey, to each his own they say.

After the associate directed his customer to the register, he spotted her over by the formal gowns. The man looked nice enough, he wasn't sizing her up for his next sale or what have you. He looked like he really cared about what the people wanted and helping them find it.

They smiled gently at each other and when he greeted her it was soft and comforting. "What can I help you find today darling?" Bella put a strand of hair behind her ear and said.

"I'm looking for something that would go well for a family dinner you'd say, but the family is very old-fashioned and lives in Europe." She spoke plainly only leaving out the fact that the family was actually the largest coven of vampires to ever exist.

The man brought his hand up to his chin and thought for a moment before having an Eureka moment. "I think I have a couple things for you dear, right this way." He brought her back to a corner of the store that had a lot to offer but not a lot of people bothered to browse. All of the dresses were still on their original hangers, which could mean two things, either no one had any class and didn't look at these beautiful garments, or this store took a lot of pride in how they ran things. This was Seattle after all.

Bella looked up and down the area, seeing a lot of ruffles and paisley just like in the wedding dress shop in Port Charlotte. Even a dress with shoulder pads was here, she didn't think that shoulder pads was still a thing. A black dress and a red dress caught her eye however and she took both into a nearby dressing room to try them on.

As she disrobed, Bella really took into account all of the hickeys and love-bites on her body. There was one on her collar bone, one on underneath her bra line, two on her hips, and three separate ones on her inner thighs. She gazed at the purplish markings and once again her thoughts turned to the night before. Oh how she wanted nothing more than to stay in bed with Alice for the foreseeable future; but alas, the Volturi did send the invitation and it would be awfully rude to turn down such a welcome.

As her thoughts wandered, she could feel Alice's cold lips on her, everywhere she kissed sent a flame through her body. Bella's heart began to race as she relived the feeling of the blunt teeth pressing into her skin and her wife sucking the spot on her thigh as she climaxed. Her breathing became labored and she didn't know what to do with herself. Lifting a hand to her heart, she tapped the spot on her chest and willed herself to calm down.

Bella dressed in the black number first. It was a nice dress that brought the sleeves down her shoulders and hugged her biceps nicely. It fit her body like a glove up until the bottom of her knee. She was really impressed with this one to be sure. The red gown would really have to wow her to turn this one away.

She peeled the black dress off like it was a second skin and placed it back on its hanger before reaching for the red one. There was something about this one that really made her pick it out.

Bella stepped through the top and pulled it up her body. She was surprised to find that it secured on her left arm with a sleeve only on her shoulder and her right arm was totally free. Again, it hugged her body in all the right places, showing off a bit of cleavage but still leaving something to the imagination and it flowed down to the floor. She looked at herself in the mirror in this dress.

She looked as if she stepped out of a Victorian storybook. The red color of the dress really popped and her eyes shined like a thousand stars. Of course she was going to do something with her hair, but Bella really knew that she had a classic beauty that was all her own. She would also need to buy some shoes so that she wouldn't step on this magnificent dress and dirty it.

Bella heard her phone buzz, signaling a text message. When she bent over to look at it, she smiled seeing her wife's name littering the screen. "You know, I really want the dress selection to be a surprise so I didn't see anything but hearing your heart race is making it very hard for me to keep my powers to myself." Bella chuckled at the fact that Alice was having just as a hard time as she was being away from her wife. Just as she was about to reply, Alice sent another message. "I did see you pick out two though. Just come out of the dressing room. I'm almost to the store so we'll get both." Her eyes widened seeing that last part but she really couldn't be surprised.

So without further adieu, Bella got dressed and left the curtained room to pick out a pair of shoes. Hopefully ones that didn't make her feel like her feet were going to fall off.
