Chapter 20 - DISNEY TRIP
The Cullens and I got here early this morning, before dawn, and I'm waiting for my mother and Phil in the lobby of the Grand Floridian Hotel. Alice and Rose are sitting with me. At a quarter to 1 pm, suddenly, Alice looks up at the doors. I follow her lead. Seeing my mom walk in, I smile and run to meet her. "Hi, Mom, how have you been? I've missed you so much!"

"Oh, Bella…It's been too long since we've been in the same place at the same time." Her face is bright and happy. I hope it stays that way.

"Let's get you checked in…" After the paperwork is done, I help Renee and Phil get up to the room. They sit on the bed at my request. "Ok, I'm in the room next to you- to the left. Mom, I need to tell you some news. It's very good news…to me… but I'm not sure how you're going to take it." I start to play with my engagement ring. "At the beginning of the semester, at Dartmouth, I ran across some people I know… from Forks. Do you remember the Cullens?"

They look at each other and then at me. My mom speaks up. "Bella, Charlie told us that Edward and his family are back in your life. If that is what makes you happy, then I'm happy too. I'd like to see that young man again soon…"

"You will, Mom…" I lay my left hand on her wrist. "Because Edward is not just back in my life…At my request, he has moved in with me and I've agreed to marry him… They're all here…the Cullen family; I mean…They actually treated for this wonderful trip. Edward wants to meet you again…like he did with Dad… Listen, guys… please, I've forgiven them for leaving the way they did. I've also gotten even closer with Edward's sisters. Did you see Rosalie and Alice sitting with me when you came into the lobby?"

Mom frowns, thinking. "I thought one of those girls looked familiar… Alice is the one I met in Phoenix, right?"

I nod. "That's right, Mom. She's become my very best friend again, and Rosalie …Well, she kind of used to scare me a little, but we've found a connection of sorts. I've always felt that Edward's family was my family too. They make me feel loved and welcome and…well…like I really belong…and …Oh, Mom… Edward really and truly loves me. He doesn't let a single day go by without telling me or showing me somehow that he loves me and only me. He even gave me his mother's ring for our engagement. It's a perfect fit without any adjustments."

She looks down and sees the ring. "Wow… that's some rock. Is he around?"

I study her face for a moment. "He's in our room. I'll go get him." I turn and head for the door. I close their door behind me and tap lightly on mine. "Edward…?" He opens the door and slowly pulls me close for a kiss. "If that's the way I'll be greeted after an hour away from you, I wonder how you'll act when it's been a whole day." I smirk. "Edward, can I ask you to do something? Can you tell me what my mother was thinking? She was acting funny near the end of the conversation."

"She was pretty much speaking her thoughts, love, but right there at the end…" He frowns. "When she saw the ring, she thought 'I wonder if he's trying to buy her love. Does he really love her? I'm her mother, I should make sure somehow.' I think we need to reassure her of the depth of my feelings for you."

I shrug. "Well, they're waiting for us… Let's not make them wait any longer."

We walk over to their door and Edward knocks. Phil lets us in. "Mr. Dwyer, it's nice to meet you. Hello, Renee…"

"Edward…" She answers. I wish I had Edward's mind-reading ability. "It's nice to see you again…after so long…" We all sit and my mother stares at Edward for a long moment.

He holds my hand in his lap. "Renee, I think now is the appropriate time to say this …I've said it to Bella's other protectors, Charlie and Jacob, already, and now you need to know… I have pledged my life and heart to making Bella happy. For instance, she wanted to see you…so here we are." He turns to stare into my eyes. "I'll do my very best to keep her safe and happy. I love your daughter and I will never leave her again… I swear it."

"Mom, he has hardly left my side in the last month. I trust that he's going to stick around this time… Now, please can we just plan our Disney adventure?" I say impatiently.

"Ok, Bella, I'll trust your judgment of him…for now. Where are the maps of the parks?" She asks as I hand them over.

There's a knock at the door. It's Alice and the rest of the Cullens. Carlisle and Esme greet my mother and Phil. "Hello, again Mrs. Dwyer… Do you remember me from Phoenix? Carlisle Cullen…and this is my wife Esme. This is Alice…and here we have Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie."

"Yes, of course, how nice to see you again Carlisle. It's been too long." She says pointedly. "Please, call me Renee. 'Mrs. Dwyer' makes me want to look around for my mother-in-law."

"It's very nice to see you under better circumstances then last time, Renee." He turns to face Edward. "I'm sure she'll be fine with her mother and step-father, Edward. Why don't you join us in exploring the hotel and let them plan their fun?" Carlisle suggests.

Edward kisses me lightly and follows them out the door with a wave to Renee and Phil.

"Bella, what do you think if for the first day or 2 we do something like the Animal kingdom. I think that one will require the most energy." She says excitedly. "And then we can do Epcot and then MGM and in the final few days we can visit the Magic Kingdom."

"Don't forget about Downtown Disney. I want to check out the nightlife down there. You guys can go to restaurants and Edward and his siblings can join me for a little fun at the dance clubs and stuff." I say with excitement. "Other than that, I like your idea. In fact, it's nearly 4. Where do you guys want to eat tonight? Here's the Downtown Disney list of restaurants…"

"Ooh! Let's try The House of Blues!" Renee says. "Listen to this: the House of Blues is a live music club in the Downtown Disney West Side where the best regional and national musicians perform day and night and delicious Southern cuisine is served. Phil and I love the Blues and you'll love the food, Bella."

"Ok, that sounds good. I'll call Edward and tell him to meet me there after he and his family have eaten. I want tonight to be just the 3 of us." I smile at her.

We take a bus ride to Downtown Disney and find the restaurant with no problem. After a 20 minute wait, we're seated and I am dying to try the Creole Seafood Jambalaya. Yum! I hope all the foods I want to try in the next year are as amazing as this. There's sausage and chicken and shrimp with some vegetables in there too.

As we leave the House of Blues, I see Alice, Jasper and Edward waiting for me. After letting Alice snap a picture of the three of us, I wave good night to Mom and Phil.

Alice looks excited. "Where would you like to go tonight, Bella? Jasper wants to go to a cowboy bar. Rose and Emmett went to see the Planet Hollywood restaurant before finding a club. Carlisle and Esme wanted to have a boat ride, but what do you want to do?"

I smile. "I wouldn't mind kickin' up my heels at a Country music joint. C'mon, Jazz, let's find us a cowboy hang-out. Would you guys like to join me in a line dance or 2?"

Edward laughs. "After that, can we find a fifties music place?" I nod with enthusiasm.

"I know you hate them, Edward, but I loved the old discos! Can you suffer through an hour or 2 of 70's music?" Alice says with a smirk.

"I guess, if Bella wants to go to a disco, then I'll go too." He says rolling his eyes.

"Why don't we spread it out over the next 2 weeks? Tonight, we can go to the Country music place and tomorrow night we could do Rock and Roll. Then on the next night maybe jazz or something like that." I suggest and Alice starts bouncing.

Jasper just grins. "Bella, you have some great ideas, Darlin'."

Jasper and I do the 'Boot-Scoot-and-Boogie' as Edward and Alice watch. Alice takes a few more pictures before surrendering the camera for the night.

The next day…
Edward wakes me with a kiss and sends me off again with Renee and Phil. We take the bus to the Animal Kingdom Park. I ask them. "So, what do you guys want to see? I'd like to go on the Safari, and I really want to go on the Expedition Everest ride."

Phil answers me. "Well I'd like to check out the dinosaur section. I love that kind of stuff… and what about the Wildlife express train? That sounds like fun."

"All of that sound great, but I also want to see that really big tree with all the carvings on it…and the habitats and the petting zoo. Looking at the map and the attractions list that's about all I want to do." Renee says.

I look at how everything criss-crosses and map it out. "Ok, so first thing we'll do is go for the dinosaur stuff. It's the closest to the entrance. Then we'll head to the Expedition Everest. After that we can go to Africa and go on safari. Then we can grab the Wildlife express train because it leads to the habitats and petting zoo…and on the way out we can see the tree and eat at the Rainforest Café." They agree and off we go.

Our first stop in Dino-land is the Bone Yard. You can look through the dirt and sand to find bones… all Phil finds is a few coins someone must have dropped. Tarzan Rocks is a great show with lots of stunts by skaters and gymnasts. Dino-Sue is amazing. She's the largest, most complete T-rex ever found. She's estimated to have been around 6 -8 tons in weight and measured 40 feet long and 13 feet tall.

Expedition Everest is a rollercoaster!!! Getting into the ride, I don't realize this, but as the car climbs to a high point the fear hits and I scream. My eyes are squeezed shut and I'm shaking as I wait for the next extreme drop. By the end of the ride I'm ready to throw up. I stumble off the platform and into a wall … a cold wall … Whatever stopped my fall is icy cold… I look up into the caramel eyes of my–brother-in-law-to-be, Emmett. Further up into the sky, I see clouds and a drizzle seems to be falling. "Em! Thanks for catching me…That ride scared the hell out of me. Where did you come from? Where's Edward?"

"He's over at MGM. Alice had a vision and called me because I was in 'Africa' on safari." He replies with a huge smile.

"Thanks, Em…Tell Alice 'thanks' too." I say, turning to find Renee and Phil just coming off the ride.

Phil rubs his stomach. "I think it's time for lunch, ladies."

I turn green and run for the nearest garbage can, throwing my hair into a pony tail on the way. I lose my breakfast and breathe heavily for a moment. *The last time I felt like this I was preg- no…that can't be…can it? Can a vampire father a child with a human? I'll have to ask Carlisle.* I shrug. *Later, I guess.* "Sorry, Phil, I can't even think about food right now. I'll start walking and meet you guys at the safari outpost." My walk takes me past animal enclosures and what a view! The creatures are so cute…and strange…but mostly cute.

After a good 20 minutes of walking, I see the outpost. About 15 minutes later I reach the front of the line and Mom and Phil join me. I grab a window seat and then the bus…ok it's more of a Jeep…takes off into the wild. Mom and Phil are listening so intently to the guide but I just check out the scenery. A group of gazelles and a giraffe or 2 run across our path. *Why are they running?* I look behind them and see an animal hiding in the tall grass…no…it's not an animal! I look closer as the sun peeks through the clouds. *It sparkles…? Emmett looks scary…is he hunting?!? What is he thinking? With so many humans around, he'll get caught and expose vampires…or maybe kill someone. I'd better call in reinforcements. Rose will be interested in this. I wonder where she is.* I take out my cell and dial. Phil and my mom don't notice.

"Hello?" a female voice says.

"Rose…its Bella…we have a problem. How fast can you get to the 'Africa' section of the 'Animal Kingdom' park?"

"Pretty fast, I'm in 'Asia'. Why?"

"Emmett is within sight of a carload of people and the…uhm…activity he is currently involved in is not exactly…uhmmm…publicly acceptable… I thought maybe you could help?"

"Oh God…Tell me he's not hunting in the middle of an amusement park! The idiot could kill somebody…or expose us! What is he thinking? I'll be right there!"

I hang up but keep an eye on him. I've never seen a vampire hunt before. The Jeep seems to be containing our human scent. Suddenly, a blur of sparkles and blonde hair ambushes him and I can relax. Its Rose…she stops him and they streak out of sight. Our Jeep moves along. My phone rings a minute later. "Hello?" I say quietly.

Emmett's sulky voice responds. "I'm sorry, Bella. I guess I got carried away. Thanks for calling Rose…instead of… well, you know…See ya back at the rooms."

"It's ok, Em…we're just lucky it's me who saw you and not some stranger or a child… Just to warn you, Em, Edward's going to be pissed. He tries to protect me from that stuff… Be prepped for a fight."

I hear a smile in his voice. "Thanks li'l sis. I'll keep that in mind…T-T-F-N! Ta-Ta For Now!!"

I roll my eyes. *Who does the silly oaf think he is, Tigger?*

Too soon, our safari is over. I flip through the camera's memory as the Jeep travels back to the outpost. Besides Emmett's almost victims, we had seen lions, rhinos and elephants. They look so majestic in the photos…

The next stop on our list is the habitats and petting zoo. So we catch the Wildlife Express train. The cotton-top tamarin's habitat is a favorite of mine. The tropical forest is lovely and the tamarins are so cute. Toucans and parrots of all colors look back at us from the trees. We get to see a sloth habitat as well as an anteater's and several harmless lizards. I get a bad headache so we have to go back to the hotel before we can visit the zoo.

Edward and Carlisle meet me in the room. "I just need to rest for a bit! I swear… I'll be fine if I just rest with Edward for a little while. It's probably just the ride and Emmett's nonsense… stressing me out."

"Well, then…come here, love. I'll help you relax." Edward says as Carlisle leaves us. He lays me down on the bed and lightly begins to rub my temples. "I'll take you for dinner when you're ready." I place my head on his chest and doze a bit. As I wake up, he's looking right into my eyes. "Are you hungry, love?"

"Can we just order room service? I don't want to leave this room…this bed or… these arms just yet…" I say snuggling further into his embrace.

"Alice thought you might say that. She already ordered for you, and it'll be here soon." He says tilting my chin up. He fastens his lips to mine. I slide my hands up his back and clutch him closer just in time for a knock at the door… its room service.

I groan. "Perfect timing…"

Edward just grins and lets the man in. "Thanks." He says as he slips the man a tip. "She got you a plate of pasta…She thought maybe…ravioli…mushroom ravioli…? Do you want some?"

"Yes, please. You know, this is the first meal you ever bought me, Edward…Do you remember that? Way back when…in Port Angeles…" I smile at him.

"I remember very well, love…I wasn't sure you would…" He says softly, looking down.

"Oh, Edward…" I sigh. "I remember everything from the first day I ever saw you…I never wanted to forget you."

He closes his eyes and shakes his head while watching me eat. "I love you so much, Bella. I'll never do anything…"

I cut him off. "I didn't mean to start this over again, Edward, I just want to occasionally reminisce and point out a pleasant memory. Please don't apologize anymore. It's all ok now."

He just nods and silently hands me the plate and silverware.
