A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update again. I've been really busy and haven't found a minute to sit down and type. I've also had some trouble figuring out what exactly will happen in this chapter. I still haven't figured out exactly what will happen and so I'll just have to see what happens.
Disclaimer: Umm… I still don't own twilight or what not to wear and I'm running out of ideas for creative disclaimers. Maybe I should buy the rights to twilight then I wouldn't have to write these anymore (if I had that much money).
Chapter 6
In which everyone has a happy ending.
Bella's POV:
I awoke once more to the shrill beeping of the hotel alarm. 5:30 AM! Ugh! I would not miss sleeping! No more alarm clocks brutally waking me up too early! I packed all of my new clothes into the suitcase. I had so much stuff that I could barely close it. My flight back home to Seattle was scheduled to leave at 10 o'clock, so I checked out of my suite and left the hotel at 6 so that I would have plenty of time to get though security. Luckily, we were heading away from the city instead of towards it so there was very little traffic. I arrived at the air port and got out my bags. I walked into the airport and followed the large signs leading to the check in desk. I checked my bag and got some odd looks for its large size. The only carry-on that I had was my purse so I went through security very quickly.
Just by my luck, my gate was the furthest from security. It was at least a mile! If not more! I had almost an hour so I could walk slowly. I bought a muffin on my way for breakfast and a new book for the plane ride. It was 6 hours; I had to have something to do.
6 and a half hours later (I'm sure you don't want to hear about Bella on a plane for 6 hours)
I arrived at the Seattle airport at 2:00 PM (time change, Seattle is 4 hours behind of New York). There was another limo waiting for me. I wondered whether it was the TV's shows doing or Edward's. I had gotten used to being toted around in a limo and I would miss it. I would defiantly have to get one.
The limo drove me to a hotel in downtown Seattle. I checked into a room that I got to get ready for my debut. I put on make up the way that Carmindy had told me to. I put on the dress that I had gotten the first day. It was black satin knee length halter dress with a pattern of pink flowers around the bottom (sorry, no pic, it is based on a dress I actually own but I couldn't find a pic). I but on a pair of pink heels that were the same colors as the flowers and were only an inch high. After the incident in the shoe store, I did not feel safe in any thing over about 2 inches. I put on some jewelry and grabbed my clutch that I got at Macy's. I looked at my self in the mirror one last time and walked to the elevator. I was to go to the top floor where there was some sort of nightclub. Everyone was waiting for me up there.
I got to the right place, I opened the door and did a very un-Bella-like spin. Everybody else started clapping. I saw all the Cullen's of course, Charlie, Angela, Ben, Jessica, Mike (gag!), and some other people from school. I saw Edward, I wanted to run and hug him and almost did, but I noticed the three stairs separating me from Edward.
"Common Bella!" I told myself. "It's just three little stairs. You can do it. Even though you are wearing heels."
One step, two steps,
"AHHH!" I screamed my heel had caught on the stair and I was rapidly falling to the ground when an ice cold arm caught me. I looked up and smiled, it was Edward of course.
"Bella, what am I going to do with you?" he asked.
I stood up and whispered in his ear,
"You are going to change me so that I will be inhumanely graceful and walk across a flat surface without tripping"
He laughed quietly and said,
"Not until after the wedding Love, Alice would kill me if she didn't get to plan our wedding."
I sighed, he was right.
"You look beautiful Bella."
"No I don't, but I could."
"Bella." He said warningly. I just sighed and gave him a light kiss.
I walked over to Alice.
"Alice I almost forgive you, but that doesn't mean I won't get revenge."
Alice laughed,
"I'd like to see you try. I'll see anything you come up with" she said.
"I'll find a way Alice, you can count on that."
Charlie came up to me and gave me a gruff hug.
"You look so grown up Bells, if I didn't know it was you, I wouldn't recognize you."
"Thanks dad."
Angela and Ben walked up behind me. Angela gave me a tight hug while Ben stood awkwardly to the side, unsure of what to do.
"Bella you look amazing!" Angela squealed.
"Err, you look great." Ben said nervously.
"Thanks guys!"
For the next ten minutes I was caught in a whirlwind of congratulations and bone breaking hugs. Then the doors to the room flew open again. Great the pack had decided to pay us a visit. All of the Cullen's immediately adopted a much more protective stance, as much as they could with humans in the room. I was sure that much was being said in ones and speeds that were undecipherable to human ears. Edward was in front of me now and I could almost hear the growls coming from him.
Jake was the first one to speak up.
"Chill, we didn't come to pick a fight."
"Then what are you here for." Edward asked menacingly.
"We just wanted to see Bella." Jake said. "And to tell you that we will make an exception to the treaty for Bella. We see that she couldn't live without you and joining you leeches will be the best thing for her."
Of course all of this wasn't said loud enough for any humans to hear.
"Well then will you guys be staying?" Carlisle asked.
"No, we just came to tell you about our decision. Anyways, this place reeks!"
They left as quickly as they came, leaving those that where out of the loop clueless.
"What was that all about?" Charlie asked me.
"Nothing, they just needed to tell the Cullen's and me something."
"Oh, okay then. It just seemed a little odd."
"No it was no big deal, really."
The rest of the night passed in no time, with lots of laughter and chatter. Around 10:30, everyone started to leave. I went home with Edward in the Volvo. About half way home, I drifted off to sleep. We got home and Edward woke me up.
"You're home love, you need to get up."
I yawned. We where home already? It seems like a just got in the car 5 minutes ago. Edward picked me up bridal-style and carried me upstairs to my bed. We gently laid me down and pulled the covers up around me.
"I love you Edward." I mumbled sleepily.
"I do to Love, I do to."
Then I drifted back to sleep with the lovely notes of my lullaby softly being hummed by the love of my life.
EPILOUGE
Bella's POV: 3 months later!
I sat down on the couch. My show of What Not to Wear was airing tonight. It would be odd to see myself as a human again. I had been changed right on schedule and was now a big bad newborn. I was of course super strong and had beaten Emmett at arm wrestling more times than he cared to admit. My powers were very cool. I could amplify other vampire's powers or block them from affecting me or others, kind of like I had my own personal force field. But coolest of all, once I amplified a vampire's power, I could use that vampire's power. It was very awesome. Depending on how many vampires I met, I could have an unlimited amount of different vampires.
All of us had congregated in the living room of the Cullen's Alaska house. The show was set to start in ten more minutes.
"Hey Emmett, while were waiting, do you want to have an arm wrestling match?" I teased.
"No thanks Bells, I've suffered enough shame for one eternal lifetime." He answered. "Anyways, once your newborn-ness has worn off, I'll cream you."
"Sure you will." I said sarcastically. Actually, no matter how much bravado I put on, I wouldn't be able to beat Emmett once my super-super powers wore off.
"Oooo, it's starting! Every body be quiet." Alice squealed.
The show started but I couldn't watch, it was so surreal seeing yourself on TV and hearing your own voice. It gave me the chills. Especially with my enhanced hearing and sight I could hear every fluctuation of tone and every detail of my body. The 72 inch hi-def plasma TV and expensive sound system didn't help either. Once I was a Cullen and learned how much money they did have, I near about died, again. No wonder Alice and Rosalie could shop everyday and buy more clothes than any person could possibly need in their lifetime. The whole time that we have been in Alaska I had not seen them yet wear the same item of clothing twice and they came home with more and more clothes every day. Of course they longed to drag me along with them; Carlisle wouldn't let them until he was sure I would have enough control. They had to be content with buying stuff for me and forcing me to wear it. They made me change outfits several times a day until I thertened to burn their closets while they were shopping. Of course that brought an immediate stop to them using me as their personal life size Barbie doll.
I looked up at the TV and saw myself. It was odd to see my human self no that I was finally used to my super beautiful, incredibly perfect self. I finally saw how fragile and weak I must have looked to the Cullen's.
We watched the rest of show. It was so weird seeing a miniature you in the TV. The whole time Edward was snickering under his breath. I smacked his arm.
"Ouch Bella! That hurt!" he yelped.
I smiled evilly,
"I guess I don't know my own strength." I lied innocently. "What were you laughing about dear husband of mine?"
"I was just remembering all the times that you tripped an fell in New York."
"Damn perfect memory!" I muttered.
Edward laughed again, so I smacked him again on the arm which effectively shut him up. Once the show was over, Alice and Rosalie started to talk about Crazy Frank and their shopping excursions in New York. Then Rosalie asked Emmett,
"So Emmett, what did you do to get arrested in New York?"
"Well you see, Jasper and I were bored and we kind of climbed the Empire State building."
Everyone started to burst out laughing except for Rosalie, who sighed and said,
"I wish I hadn't asked."
A/N: I hope you liked it!
If you haven't voted yet, please do! Last time I checked, the options that had been chosen already had only one vote each, rendering the poll useless.
So go vote!!
And big thanks to whoever left an anonymous review pointing out my mistake in time zones concerning when Bella's flight would actually get in. I've changed it, I checked and am pretty sure that i have the right time that bella's flight would get in. (if anyone has ever flown on a nonstop flight from New York city to seattle and left at 10 AM please correct me if i'm wrong, but you would have gotten in arround 2 PM.)
