Chapter 27 – Disney Trip (part 8) Monday 4/5/2010
I wake in the morning to the soft caress of Edward's hand on my back. We spent all of yeterday making love and figuring out what we wanted to do with our last few days here. I pick my head up off his chest and look around. The sun is making patterns on the floor and bed.
"Good morning, my beautiful wife. The sun is out…Can I persuade you to stay here with me?" He asks with a smoldering look. He rolls us over and he's now hovering over me… our lips are ¾ of an inch apart.
"You can probably convince me to do anything…Just love me again…Please?" I say. I realize I'm breathing heavily.
His mouth crashes down on mine, rendering me oblivious to the world outside of our bed and we meld into one mind…one body…one soul. You'd think I'd get sore after a while… but I don't.
By the time my stomach makes itself heard, it's midafternoon and we've made use of every surface in the suite…including the tub and shower. Edward helped me out and shampooed my hair. He even combed and dried it for me. I'm so relaxed. Just as we finish, my stomach gurgles.
There's a knock a the door. "Room Service!"
We look at each other. "Did you…? I didn't…! Alice!" We speak at the same time.
I start to laugh and say. "Jinx! You owe me a coke!"
Edward opens the door for the delivery guy with a smirk.
"A woman named…" He goes to check a paper but I take a 'wild guess'.
"Alice Cullen?" I ask.
"Uhmmm, yes… she said to tell you 'you're welcome'. Have a nice afternoon." He leaves quickly.
I dig in and sigh. "Alice is a wonderful sister! Could you call her and say 'thanks' for me?" I watch him dial the phone.
She answers right away and he puts it on speakerphone so I can hear. "How could you forget to feed your wife? She my sister too you know! You need to keep her healthy!" She huffs for a second. "The cloud cover will be back around 4:30 pm so take her to dinner somewhere in Downtown Disney…Jazz and I will meet you at the airport in 2 days."
Edward and I grin at each other as she hangs up. He watches me finish eating and says, "I'm so sorry, love. I forgot that you need to eat…" He looks down at the floor. "I think I've begun to look forward to a time when 'human moments', like eating and breathing and bathroom breaks are things of the past…I'll be more careful…I promise, love."
I smile. "Edward, did I seem to mind at all? I was just as forgetful…so stop. Let's just get dressed and ready for dinner. I'm not in the mood to go 'Downtown' tonight. I want to eat at 'Cinderella's Royal Table', if that's ok."
He asks, "What else would you like to do, love?"
"A whole bunch of things…" I sigh. "But we only have so much time before it's time to go home to New Hampshire!"
"Let's look at the list you made yesterday." He says, softly reminding me that we still have some time.
"Ok…" I start with the ones I really want to see. "I want to go on the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride…Johnny Depp was soooo great in that…and we should see the 'Haunted Mansion'…Oh, and 'The Tiki Room' looks cute, too."
Edward rolls his eyes at my comment about Johnny Depp, but moves on to ask, "What about the 'small world' ride? Or maybe the 'Golden Carrousel'…and what about the 'PhilharMagic? Those all sound great, Bella."
I smirk and roll my eyes. "Edward, do you really want to listen to hundreds of internal and external voices singing… 'It's a small world after all'… for the rest of the day?"
Edward grimaces but looks deep into my eyes and states very seriously, "Bella, my love, if you want to see it then I don't care about the voices."
I shake my head and laugh. "Well I don't want that song running through my head, so I'll pass on that, but the PhilharMagic looks to be a nice show. The carrousel sounds very romantic; we should totally go on that…Oh! I want to see 'Pixie-Hollow' before we go too!"
His chuckle sounds indulgent. "You are so cute…I love you…Now, you should go and get dressed…"
Dinner at 'Cinderella's Royal Table' is so tasty. I have the 'corn and crab soup' followed by the 'cheese tortellini', while Edward orders the 'Prime Rib' (rare). The 'Chocolate Cream Cheese Buckle' is an amazing dessert.
After dinner, we see the Haunted Mansion as well as the Pirates ride and the 'Tiki Room'. I'm so glad we got to see some stuff today, but now I'm so tired.
I yawn. "You really wore me out today, Edward. Let's just go back to the suite…I'm so tired."
"Alright, love, but tonight you will sleep." He grins as he picks me up and carries my back to our tower room above the park. He lays me on the bed and proceeds to help me change for the night.
Sleep comes quicker than I thought it would but my dreams are not all peaceful. Tonight they range from normal to nightmarish and even to sexual… It all starts out normal… I relive days past…
The day I met Edward… The old nightmare of when he left…
The day I kissed Jake…and the scene in Billy's house when Jacob imprinted on Valerie…
Seeing the Cullens again after so many years…Edward's propsal…Thinking I was pregnant…Finding out I wasn't… Jake's blow-up…The wedding…My first night as Edward's wife…
Things start getting unfamiliar now:
I see Edward and I in an office with Carlisle… I'm on my porch with a large belly ...I'm holding a child with green eyes…The child speaks, calling me 'mama'… The child's eyes change color as I watch him… Edward holds the same child only his eyes are chocolate brown…The child stands between Edward and I as a black cloud surrounds our whole family…Suddenly the child blurs and splits in 2… Twins…?
Tuesday 4/6/2010
My eyes pop open. "Edward…?"
"What is it, love?" He asks.
I tell him in detail about the dream. With his arms around me, I can almost believe it was nothing but a dream…
We get up and I dress in a red and white gingham top that ties above my belly button. We wander the park for a while, just taking pictures and doing the last few things on my list. I take a picture of Edward 'trying' to pull the sword from the stone. His brothers should get a kick out of that.
"Edward, would you mind if we go back over to MGM? I really enjoyed the 'Star Tours' ride…I'd like to do it again before we leave." I ask.
"Of course, love." He says with a grin as he leads me toward the busses. Typically, I trip and suddenly I'm being carried around piggy-back through the drizzle.
The tourists around us just think it's romantic. The bus ride isn't very long and we're at the entrance to MGM before we know it.
As we approach my chosen 'last ride if the trip', I look up. The AT-AT or All Terrain Armoured Transport hovers over the line of people waiting to enter. Two of those people turn toward us.
I roll my eyes and start to laugh. Edward laughs with me.
Valerie appears in better spirits and Jacob seems at ease as they greet us. "Hey, Bells; how's married life?"
Edward's lips twitch as I look right into Jakes eyes and say, "Absolute bliss, Jake." I sigh and giggle with Valerie for a moment as she hugs me.
He shakes his head, rolls his eyes and quips, "Isn't that a drink…?"
"Oh, Bella, I'm so happy for you!" Valerie says. "Oh my God! Is that your new belly-ring? Is that DIAMOND Mickey Mouse Ears? How cute is that?!"
"No, Val… They're Swarovski crystal! Don't encourage him! He gives me so much as it is…" I hurry to correct her as the ride attendant opens the door.
He waves the crowd in and Jake and Edward stand on opposite sides of Val and me. **Will they never get along?**
The ride goes quickly and suddenly it's over. We're in the little shop at the end. I point to a small pin of R2-D2 and a Aurra Sing doll that looks nothing like her.
"Jake, don't get this or that. I got them for you the first time I went on this ride. I'll give them to you next time I see you, ok?" I ask.
"Ok, Bells… See you in a few months." He says as he hugs me good-bye and we turn to see Edward at the register buying a bunch of different water guns. One looks like a stormtrooper's rifle and another 2 seem to be Queen Amidalla's side-arm; 2 others look like Princess Leia's gun and one looks like the one Han Solo carries.
I give him a confused look and he says, "Our family has a private island with a house on it. It'll be fun to have a water fight while we're there next year. Emmett loves Star Wars too and he's always wanted Boba Fett's gun!"
I laugh and roll my eyes as I hug Valerie good-bye. Edward takes a few pictures of the 3 of us before we walk away.
Sue and Charlie are waiting for us outside of our room to say good-bye. We hug and I promise to see them for Father's day in June. Another picture is snapped.
Mom and Phil are standing in the lobby of the Grand Floridian Hotel. They're leaving with us today. "Hey, Mom, Phil, it's been so great seeing you both. I'm so glad we got to do this!"
A limosine driver comes into the lobby then with a sign saying 'Cullens and Dwyers'.
Edward waves to him and he takes our luggage. "He's taking us to the airport together so just let him get the bags." They nod and go along with it as it means we'll get to be together for a while longer.
Their flight is scheduled to leave just before ours so we see them to the gate and hug again. Mom has tears in her eyes as she waves to us.
"Don't be sad, love. You'll see her again soon. Mother's day is just next month. I'll fly her up to see you for a few days." Edward whispers against my neck.
I let a tear escape me and say, "Oh, Edward, you're much too good to me. I love you so much!"
He picks me up and replies, "I love you too, Bella. Now let's get on our plane so Alice doesn't have a fit that we'll be late."
I sleep through the flight and Edward carries me to the car before I wake up.
Jasper and Alice are putting our bags in the trunk as my eyes open. "Welcome home, Bella." Jasper says as he feels my surprise.
"Thanks, guys. I can't wait to get to the house!" I grin at Edward and he keeps me close to his side as we drive along. When we pull up to the Cullen home first, I look up at Edward questioningly.
"Esme figured you would be hungry and didn't want us to worry about food on the first night back." He says quietly.
"You and our amazing family spoil me like crazy!" I say with a laugh as I am dragged into the house. I peek into the living-room on the way to the dining-room.
Carlisle is there with 3 tall dark skinned female vampires. They seem to be friendly with him; but they're obviously not from around here. Where did they come from and why…?
"Bella-love, did you hear me?" Edward says drawing my attention back to him.
"No, did you say something?" I ask as I sit and dig into the lasagna that my sweet mother-in-law has made for me.
He rolls his eyes. "Yes, love. I said that Em and Jazz want to take me hunting for a night or 2. Will you be alright without me?"
"I'm sure I'll be fine…I'll have Rose and Ali with me, right? What could happen?" I ask innocently.
