Chapter nine: Fitting
We had returned from our meadow a little after sundown and once I walked into the house Alice was at my side, "Bella we need to do a fitting." I was really tired and all I thought that I needed was to go upstairs and lay down. I looked at her wondering if she could be serious, but who was I kidding with Alice and the wedding it was serious. "Alice can it wait until tomorrow?" I asked hoping that this once she would wait, but I knew she would guilt me into agreeing.
"Bella please, it will not take long and I want this to be out of the way since it is such a simple task," she pouted, "It would be a tremendous help." I knew it she had gone and guilt me into it, "Fine but lets hurry I really want to go lay down." Edward was about to speak but Alice had already scooped me up and rushed me into her closet. I didn't even get to say hi to Jasper as we passed him, but I heard him snicker. Alice set me down in front of the garment bag that held my dress and turned to the door. I looked in the direction she did and saw Jasper.
"Poor Bella, can't you ever win with her," he asked teasingly.
"Never Jasper, but she is happy," I shrugged and laughed.
"But are you happy Bella?" Alice asked.
I sighed and smiled at her, "As happy as any person can be who has just been disowned by their parents right before they were going to get married." I tried to keep myself upbeat even if my response was anything but happy. Then I felt a small surge of cheer and looked at Jasper and gave him a grateful smile and he winked at me, "I'll let the three of you get to it then."
"The three of us?" I asked looking at him questioningly. He smiled and stepped back and Rosalie took his place. Then Jasper left the room and closed the door behind him. Rosalie stepped to me and took my hands.
"Bella I would like to be a part of these moments with you. I would like to share as much as possible, if you will let me," she seemed shy and it amazed me how she could considering who she was talking to.
"I would love it and then maybe Alice would not need me so much until the final decisions need to be made," I said nudging Alice teasingly. I looked at Rose and she smiled a great smile that made me blush and smile then Rose and Alice started laughing and I had to follow.
"Okay Bella I know you have seen the dress already but I have made some adjustments and don't worry it will still have the feel you liked of the first dress, I guess you could say, but some modern twists." I was a bit nervous but when she pulled out the dress I had to take a step back. It was a beautiful gown.
The dress was floor length with the tiniest train edged with lace. The bell shape of the skirt was noticeable but not ridiculously puffed and the bodice was a fitted satin corset. It was a U-neck and thin satin straps and fitted sleeves made of similar lace to the trim of the train and they belled at the wrists slightly. It honestly looked like a ball gown from the early 1900's. It was very beautiful and I honestly thought it was perfect.
I turned to Alice who was standing calmly at Rosalie's side who was showing the anxiety Alice would have if she had not already seen that I absolutely loved her design. "Oh Bella stop keeping ME in suspense, I know that Alice knows your opinion already, but you have to tell me," Rosalie was all worked up and it made me giggle.
"Rose I absolutely love Alice's design and I think it is simple and perfect for me." Then Alice and Rose jumped to me and we started hopping up and down laughing and giggling then we heard a knock at the door.
"Bella go tell Edward we are not done yet and to go play with the boys a little longer," she said with a waive of a hand.
I smiled, "Okay I will be right back." I walked to the bedroom door to see my Edward leaning against the wall and with a perfect crooked smile on his lips. "Yes? May I help you?"
"I hope so. I am looking for my fiancé, I believe she was kidnapped," he responded teasingly.
"Oh goodness are you sure about that?"
"No not completely but I was hoping you could figure that part out for me."
"Well I think she is okay and you should go play with your brothers. I don't doubt that she will be back in your arms soon."
"I wish your word was enough," he said stepping towards me.
"Oh now, don't tell me you can't trust little me."
"I have experience in knowing that it's the little ones you have to look out for," he smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I wrapped my arms around my arms up around his neck, "Well what if I give you this," and I lightly kissed his lips and as I was about to pull away he held my tighter and the kiss turned deep and I was loosing all thought and then Alice came.
"Bella I said get rid of him not make out with him."
We pulled away from each other, "Oh like you didn't know this was going to happen," I said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Okay well now dear Edward you need to go back downstairs we are just about done."
"Okay, but if you take too long I will come back," he warned Alice and all she did was laugh. Edward gave me one last hug and then walked back downstairs to the boys and I closed the door.
"Finally! Come on, only you would take ages for a simple fitting Bella," I rolled my eyes and walked back into the closet and changed into my dress.
I walked out of the closet to show Alice and Rose. Alice was giddy and Rose was smiling from ear to ear. "So…how does it look?" I asked sheepishly.
"As if you don't already know Bella," Rose offered as my response. I guess I was to take it that I looked nice.
"Then I look ok?" I was turning red and twined my fingers behind my back. They both yelled my name and Alice rushed to the door and locked it. Then I heard a thud followed by a few, very serious, knocks. I could tell it was Edward.
"Alice?! What's wrong?" he was obviously angry because she was blocking her thoughts of the way I looked and in turn the rest of her thoughts and worried thinking that something was wrong. "Bella?! Are you okay?! Damn it! Let me in Alice!!" to anyone else the last statement was clear, but for this situation it had a double meaning. I was about to answer but Alice beat me to the punch.
"Edward nothing is wrong. We just got a little frustrated with your darling Bella. By the way no bribing me or Rose to let you see what she looks like and I will be blocking you the best way possible."
"Then why isn't she answering me," he practically growled.
"Edward, I'm fine. Really. Please calm down," I tried to soothe him, "Sorry for making you worry."
"Its not your fault love, the fault lies with my two sisters who want to be the first to frighten a vampire to death." This made my sisters laugh and I glared at them. They stopped and just stared at me. I guess its cause they never had really seen me angry like that before. Alice then told Edward I would be down in a few more minutes and he went back to join his brothers.
"Now for you to look at yourself and see how beautiful you look," I know that the emphasis Rose used was overestimated because I could never be that beautiful, or at all. So they led me to a tall mirror in the corner of Alice's room and I couldn't believe it. I gasped and my sisters giggled at my reaction.
The dress was a compliment to my skin, it looked as if I had the tiniest bit of color. My waist was more defined from the corset and the bell of the dress was so gorgeous. I felt like a princess. I had never felt the need to when I was younger, but I love the feeling of being actually pretty. I was speechless.
"Wow, for once you have no response," I was so happy that I was beginning to get teary eyed, "Oh Bella I thought you would like it," I shook my head and their faces dropped and I started laughing.
"I don't like it Alice," she looked like she was about to cry though I already was, "I love it! I am so happy with it, I truly feel like I will make a pretty bride." They let out small laughs.
"Bella you will feel absolutely gorgeous on your wedding day I promise," and I hugged both Alice and Rose. "Now you better hurry and change and return to your nervous, soon to be, husband. I rushed back to the closet, almost falling giving my sisters one last giggle and I quickly undressed to I could return to my angel.
