Renee POV
An unfamiliar face opened the door to me, "Uh…I think I've gotten the wrong door, I'm looking for Bella?" I flushed, the directions that the beautiful girl, Rosalie she had told me her name was, were so easy and I had got them wrong.
"Hi, you must be Renee, I'm Alice," She offered me her hand, which I grasped, expecting a soft handshake, but instead she pulled me through the door and down a short corridor to another door, "Bella is through here, could you possibly wait a couple of minutes before you go in?"
I was puzzled…Why should I wait? "Yeah, sure."
"Great, I'll just be in the room at the end of the hallway if you want me," Alice backed out of the door and waved to me.
I counted to 100 before slowly pushing the door open. A young woman was sitting on a black, antique looking stool, with her back to me. Her shoulders were shroud in lace and soft layers of silk gathered at her ankles as they tucked around one of the stool legs. She looked amazing, I turned quietly around the room, not wanting to disturb the woman, looking for Bella. I couldn't see her. I had no choice but to walk up to the woman and ask. I tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around.
"Mum!" she threw her arms around me and I allowed myself to be dragged into the hug. I recognized my Bella, how couldn't I after she had screamed half of the house down. I stepped back and looked at her, in her wedding attire.
"You look amazing, who did your hair? And your face? Where did you get that dress?" My mind was full of questions racing to be asked.
"Uh...Alice did it all. The Cullens wouldn't allow me to pay for any of it, they were just happy to welcome me to the family," Bella flushed, her cheeks bright pink, making me feel guilty.
"That's…well that's nice…I just…" I faltered. I wanted to tell her how much I had wanted to be there for her, how I wanted to be the one to choose her dress, to dress her hair and to be there to meet her husband to be when he was first brought home.
"Mum, I don't blame you, not for any of it. I wish you could have been here every day but you weren't, and to be honest I wouldn't have been here, in this dress if you had, I would never have met Edward, and I wouldn't have been as happy as I am now. If you hadn't have met Phil I would be a spinster, but I still wish you could have been here, what matters is that you are here for me now."
Bella had surprised me, I started to cry.
"Oh Bella, thank you, thank you."
No question but another chapter to come :D
