Raising Patricia Cullen Ch.4
(Bella's POV)
For the last month Alice and I have been planning my wedding. Today we would be picking up Angela and Jessica to pick out my wedding party dresses. Angela is going to be my maid of honor while jess, rose and Alice would be my bridesmaids. Patricia would be my flower girl.
Alice would hold her as she walks down the aisle and help Patricia throw flowers. Jasper and Edward were practicing flower throwing with Patricia.
"You ready?" Alice asks and I nod and stand up and grab my purse.
"Bye baby girl" I coo as I kiss her forehead.
Alice and I head out to the car.
Rose was out hunting with dad. Mom was meeting us at the dress shop after she was done at the flower shop. We pick Angela up first and then head to Jess's house.
"Omg Bella I can't believe you're getting married" Jess says as she gets in the car.\
"I couldn't believe it when I saw the invite either" Ang says.
"So what color are you thinking?" Jess asks.
"Royal blue" I say and both of them nod.
"Your favorite color" Angela says and i nod. For the rest of the ride we talk about random things.
"hey Bella if you don't mind me asking. How old is Edward?" Ang asks.
"He's 21. He graduated high school at the age of 16. It took 4 years to become a pediatrician." I say and she nods.
"So that's only a four year age difference" jess says and I nod. We pull up to the wedding shop and Alice parks. Mom is waiting for us at the entrance.
"Hello girls" mom greets and we head in.
"I'm thinking we start of with the parties dress first" mom says and I nod and we head over to a huge section of maid of honor and bridesmaid dresses.
"First thing first, do you want them all in one style of dress?" mom asks.
"Yes" I say and mom nods and we all look at dresses. After searching I find the one I like and Alice squeals seeing it in her vision.
"Its perfect" She says and she grabs it to try it on. The dress was floor length. It was strapless with a diamond waist and a diamond butterfly on the top. It flowed nicely when Alice walked.
"Its perfect" I say and Alice smiles. Alice changes and then a worker comes and helps us find my dress. After two hours I finally found the one.
It was a modern style with a diamond embellishment on the waist and ruffles from the waist down.
We move onto finding Patricia a dress. Not even ten minutes into looking and I find the perfect one for my daughter.
It was royal blue with a blue diamond belt and the bottom ruffled out. We head to the check out and order the dresses in the sizes we needed.
"Why don't you guys come over for dinner tonight?" I ask as we walk out of the wedding shop.
"Sounds like fun" Ang says as we make it to Alice's car.
"Ill meet you guys at home. I'm going to stop at the store to get dinner ingredients" Mom say and we all nod.
We get into Alice's car and talk about random things till we pull up at the house. I see Rosalie looking down from her window in her and ems room. We all get out and head inside. Edward is sitting in the rocking chair in the living room feeding Patricia.
"Oh she's gotten so big" jess says as we all sit don in the living room.
"How did it go?" dad asks as he walks downstairs.
"Better than I expected. We got all the dresses ordered. Mom got my flowers ordered." I say and he nods.
"Speaking of your mother where is she?" he asks.
"She went to the store to buy stuff for dinner" I say and dad nods.
"How has Patricia been?" I ask as I look at my daughter who was starting to fall asleep.
'she's been good. She had a blast throwing flowers at jasper. A few more practices and she should be good to go" Edward says
"That's so cute your having Patricia throw your flowers" she gushes.
"It is pretty cool" ang says.
Edward stands up to go lay Patricia down in her rock and sleep cradle in the corner of the room. Dad turns on the tv and changes the channel to the news. A few minutes later mom comes in with bags. Dad get up to help her.
"So do you guys want to play a game?" I ask.
"Sure what kind" ang says.
"Apples to apples?" I ask.
"I love that game!" jess says.
"Edward do you want to see if our siblings want to play?" I ask and he nods and gets up and head upstairs.
I go to the game closet and grab the game. I head back to the living room and Alice already has the coffee table cleared off and the couch cushion arranged on the floor around the table.
Edward comes down and jasper, Emmett and Rosalie are following. We all sit down and Edward dishes out cards. We play until mom calls us in for dinner. When ang and jess aren't looking my sibling give me a glare.
Mom has the food set out buffet style on the island. Mom made fajitas with homemade rice and beans. Everyone grabs a plate and starts making fajitas.
Mom made 6 types of meat. She had a bowl in the kitchen with barley cooked meat for them. After everyone made their plates we sit down at the table and say grace.
For the rest of dinner small talk is made. Its mostly about our wedding. Patricia starts to cry half way into dinner and Edward gets up to get her.
He comes carrying her in her rock and sleep cradle. He sets her next to him and rocks her gently as he eats. She falls asleep quickly. After dinner mom dishes out dessert
. When dessert is finished I help mom with dishes while Alice takes jess and ang home. Both of them hug me before leaving.
After the dinner dishes are done and Alice is back we play a family game. Patricia sits in my lap watching everything around her. When dad or jasper talked she got a huge grin on her face. After a while she galls asleep in my arms. I excuse myself to go lay her in her room. Edward comes up with me.
"So what does your dress look like?" Edward asks and I gasp. He probably already saw it in jess or angelas mind!
My eyes start to water and I run to my room nd slam the door. He saw! Now it won't be a surprise. I start to cry.
"Bella let me in" Alice requests softly.
"The doors open " I hiccup. She walk in and immediately wraps me in her arms.
"Shh its ok. Edward hasn't even your dress. Jess and ang was looking at shoes when you found the perfect one." She says abd rubs my back.
I calm down and Alice hugs me.
"Love" Edward says at the door. I wave him in and he flints to my side.
"I'm so sorry love" he says as he rubs my back. " I forgive you but don't you dare try to see the dress " I say and Edward nods and kisses me.
" I love you" he says.
"I love you too" I say and Alice laves the room to give us alone time.
