Edward POV

I was fed up of waiting now, I was even beginning to get a bit cranky and paranoid with all of these people waiting for her, my love, my gorgeous wife to be.

Hang on…Paranoid? I can hear their thoughts already…can I even be paranoid?

Alice was coming down the stairs now, I knew it wouldn't be long. I heard Bella stumble, wishing I had been there to catch her.

She should have worn flats, I'll kill Alice for making her wear those stupid heels, they are too dangerous with Bella around.

After what seemed like an age I saw Alice scurry out of the back door, in her full maid of honour galore and into the back of the gazebo, which had been built especially for our reception. If Bella is dressed anything like Alice, I might just have a heart attack.Alice had been wearing a gold floor length dress, it was slim, fitting her body perfectly but flaring out slightly at the knees, I didn't know what the style was called, I wasn't exactly a fanatic of shopping but it complemented Alice's curves nicely, and with a low v-neck halter of a bodice with a flourish of white lily's around her wrist, I was amazed that there were still men alive. I saw her re-emerge with a glass of ice.

What had Bella done now?

By now I was not the only one gazing in Alice's direction. She had caught Mike Newton's glance. I saw his mouth practically fall to the ground and laughed. He had had the same reaction when I asked him to be my best man, I wasn't too happy about it but I knew that Bella wanted her friends to be an important part of the day.

Not that I considered Mike Newton to be a friend…more like a fiend.

Alice had stopped in her tracks before she had reached the door and from where I was standing I recognised the stare in her eyes, now was not a good time for a vision.

"Move Alice," I silently willed her as Mike began to stride towards her, I quickly ran to her side, just beating Mike and grabbed her arm, she came out of her daze and looked at me with panic in her eyes as she dropped the glass of ice.

"Oh no!" Alice bent down to gather up the fragments and I pulled her up sharply.

"Leave it!" I told her and turned around, not releasing my grasp, "Mike can you get another glass of ice, I have a feeling it was Bella that needed it."

Mike rushed off, eager to be of help to Bella and I pulled Alice to a nearby bench.

"Tell me what has got you so scared? Quickly before Newton gets back," I impatiently asked.

"It was…nothing just…"she faltered, not sure whether she wanted to tell me or not, I tried to focus on her mind but was incapable of it.

"You will find out soon, I cannot tell you as it is not fixed yet. You will have to see for yourself," she replied, suddenly calm again.

"It's to do with Bella isn't it?" I growled, "Why won't you tell me, what is so frightening, I am due to get married to her and you won't tell me?"

Alice opened her mouth to answer but before she could Mike came rushing back.

"Here you are," he panted, "Special delivery of ice for Bella." He noticed the tension in the air and passed me the glass before quickly backing off, but staying within hearing distance.

"What is it with the Cullens, they are always uptight, as if getting ready to attack each other."

I smirked at Mike's thought and realised too late that Alice had snatched the glass from me and made her way into the house. I made to follow her but was dragged away by Emmett.

"Whoa there, you know the rules, you can't go in there until after you have reached wedded bliss, stop being so impatient," he laughed, stopping as he saw my glare. He released me but it was too late, the wedding march had sounded.

What had Alice seen?

Hehe….you should know what I'm gonna ask for by now – so…pretty please, with a llama decorated in sprinkles :D
