A/N: Sorry for the delay. My brother is critically ill right now and it's been very hard to think about writing. But, as usual, I find that writing makes me feel a bit better. I decided I needed something funny to make me laugh and Emmett is always good for that! Hope it makes you laugh too!
Chapter Thirteen: The Happiest Place on Earth, Oui, Oui!
Emmett was having a hard time keeping still. Today was the day he got to spend one-on-one time Bella. He'd never had a day where he could just hang out with his little sister and he was excited to finally be getting the chance to do so. He had so many ideas of funs things to see and do and was eager to show his little sister how much fun it was to have a big brother.
While Bella was sleeping in hers and Edward's room, Emmett had been trying to come up with ideas of fun things to do. The one that stuck out most in his mind was taking Bella to an amusement park where they could go on rides all day long and Bella could eat all the junk food she wanted while Emmett pretended to be disgusted. Yeah, an amusement park would be the perfect way for them to spend the day together.
Emmett bounded down the stairs and through the hallway towards the kitchen where Bella was already sitting down eating her breakfast, Edward sitting beside her as he watched her eat. Alice was sitting on the kitchen island as she chatted with Edward and Bella about the day.
Emmett sat in his usual chair directly across from Bella. "So, little sis, are you ready to spend the day with your big brother?"
"Help me…" Bella mumbled under her breath to Edward.
"Aw, come on Bella, a little trust here. What do you think I'm going to do, run you through an obstacle course, let you fall down, prank you with whipped cream or hit you with water balloons?" Emmett asked with an innocent expression on his face.
Alice interrupted. "You won't if you know what's good for you! You do any of that and I swear I will find a forest somewhere around this city where you and I will have a come-to-Jesus meeting, if you get my meaning, Emmett!"
Emmett gulped, knowing exactly what his sister meant and he knew she'd do it. He'd learned over the years that one should never, ever underestimate a Cullen woman.
Bella laughed. "It's okay, Alice. I think I can handle Emmett for a day, but you remember this, Emmett," Bella said, wagging her finger in his direction. "If anything bad happens to me I will so make you pay for it when I'm changed!"
"YES!!!" Emmett yelled as he pumped his fist in the air. "Amusement park, here we come! A whole day with my favorite human and little sister!"
Bella shook her head and giggled to herself before finishing her breakfast. Emmett was more excited than she'd ever seen him and truth be told she was actually looking forward to hanging out with Emmett because she knew he would be lots of fun and they would laugh the day away.
Edward shook his head and turned to Bella. "It'll be fine. He knows what he can and CAN'T do, don't you Emmett?" He turned to Emmett with a stern expression on his face which Emmett immediately knew meant Edward was deadly serious.
"Edward, I promise you, I will keep her safe, not a scratch on her head. We're gonna have a great time!" Emmett said as he pounded his fists lightly on the table.
"Regardless, we're going to go over the 'rules''," Edward said as he leaned back in his chair to face Emmett.
Emmett smacked his hand against his forehead and leaned back in his own chair. "Aw, come on Edward, you're going to take the fun out of our day with all of your, quote/unquote, 'rules'."
"The rules," Edward continued as if he hadn't heard Emmett's comment, "the rules are you are not to take Bella on rides that would be considered dangerous. No doing anything that would be considered breaking the law in this country. No bungee-jumping, no skydiving from airplanes or any other gravity-defying piece of machinery or equipment. No diving, whether it be scuba diving or from rocks or cliffs. No climbing or scaling mountains, or jumping across large or small bodies of water. You are not to let Bella out of your sight, except for her 'human moments'. You are to make sure she has something to eat and drink every couple of hours. You will make sure she's strapped in securely on any park ride, and when she says 'stop' or 'I don't want to go on that one' you are to obey without question. You are not going to scare or freak her out in any way, shape or form, nor will you do anything that will embarrass her or make her the center of attention. Got it?"
Bella had a scowl on her face as she listened to Edward going over the 'rules'. "Edward, I'm not a child you know. You're treating me like a little kid and I don't appreciate it."
Edward turned to Bella. "Bella, I definitely don't think of you as a child, but I do worry about your safety. I'm only doing this to give Emmett clear boundaries and guidelines to follow. I want you to enjoy yourself, but I also want him to take the proper precautions." Bella let out a frustrated "Humph!" and sat back in her chair, ducking her head and looking towards the floor. Edward shook his head affectionately and gently pulled her face back up. Bella rolled her eyes and gave a defeated sigh.
"Oh, all right, I give!"
Edward chuckled. "That's my girl."
"Well, come on Bella, let's get going! We have lots to do and see and we need to get started. I'm going to tell Rosie we're leaving." Emmett stood up and went back upstairs.
Bella and Edward also got up from their chairs and started making their way down the hallway to the foyer. After a toe-curling kiss, during which Emmett kept tugging at Bella's arm to hurry her along, they went out the front door and hailed a taxi.
A Change in Plans
As the taxi slowly made its way through London traffic, Bella was staring out the window and wondering which amusement park she and Emmett were going to spend the day at. She hoped it wasn't too far away.
Emmett was being unusually quiet, obviously deep in thought about something. Bella knew from past experience that a quiet and thoughtful Emmett was not a good thing, especially for her.
"Emmett...what's going on in that head of yours?" Bella asked cautiously, waiting for Emmett to turn towards her so she could try to read in his face whatever was going on in his mind. Her suspicions were confirmed when Emmett got this crazy look on his face.
Oh no, Bella thought, here it comes.
"You aren't taking me to an amusement park after all, are you? You're going to have me do something wild and crazy and it's going to get us in trouble with Edward, isn't it?" Bella was starting to get worried, imagining horrible things happening to her: twisted ankles, broken legs, dislocated shoulder, concussion…
Emmett looked surprised at Bella's comments. "Who says we're not going to an amusement park? We're still going, but I just had a crazy idea about which park we should visit."
"What do you mean by 'crazy idea'?" Bella asked, worried about where this was headed.
Emmett continued as if he hadn't heard her. "It's still an amusement park, although it won't be here in the city. There will be lots of rides and attractions. Edward never said we had to stay in London. Yup, that's our loophole!" Bella was suddenly afraid to find out what Emmett was planning.
"We've got to be fast about this, Bella, before Alice sees anything and Edward takes action to stop us."
"Emmett, what are you talking about? Give it to me straight, in plain English!" Bella was no longer in the mood to be patient with Emmett, not when she was having visions of all kinds of things going terribly wrong.
"What would you say to taking the train through the Chunnel and spending the day at Disneyland Paris?" Emmett's face was excited.
Bella had a stupid expression on her face, stunned into silence before she blew up. "Disneyland Paris? Are you serious? No, wait, let me rephrase that. ARE YOU INSANE? Edward will flip! You never said anything about Paris, or a train ride to the continent!" Bella's hands were moving all over the place, from her lap to her face to her hair and back again.
"Bella, calm down. Edward never said we had to stay in the country and he never said train rides were forbidden. Haven't you ever wanted to see Disneyland? It's the happiest place on earth, Bella, and the best part is we can do it all in one day! It takes just a little over 2 hours to get to Paris riding the train. I'll take care of you, I promise! It'll be great…please, please, please Bella!"
"I don't think this is a good idea, Emmett," Bella said doubtfully. She was definitely thinking of Edward's reaction when he found out what Emmett had planned.
Emmett could see Bella was wavering and decided to press his advantage.
"Aw, come on Bella, lighten up! You have plenty of time to be Mrs. Responsible." He decided to pull out all the stops, even though it might get him into hot water with Edward. "Besides, are you going to let him treat you like a child, telling you what you can do, where you can go, what to say?"
Bella narrowed her eyes at Emmett, who hastily added, "Not that you would let anyone boss you around or anything, but now's your time to live it up!"
"Right..." Bella said sarcastically, "but when you say live it up I'm usually the one that gets into trouble which inevitably leads to me getting hurt!"
"Trust, Bella, remember? I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
Bella looked at Emmett, not saying a word as she thought about the plan. Emmett tried to sit quietly but he was really anxious for Bella to agree. Slowly, a smile spread across her face, quickly matched by the smile that was lighting up Emmett's face.
"Okay, let's do it! Disneyland Paris, here we come!"
Emmett held his hand out to give Bella a very gentle hi-five, mindful of not hurting her hand. He spoke to the cab-driver. "A change in plans, good fellow. Please take us to the train station, fast as you can."
Back at the House
Alice was sitting on the sofa with Jasper, her head on his shoulder as he quietly read a book. Suddenly she froze as a vision started to play in her mind.
Jasper put down the book and grabbed Alice's shoulders. "Alice, sweetheart, what is it? What's happening?"
Alice came out of her vision the very moment an enraged roar came from Edward's bedroom, followed by a door slamming open and an angry Edward flying down the stairs.
"What the hell does he think he's doing?" Edward bellowed as he stormed into the room. "Do we have time to stop him?"
"No, Edward," Alice said miserably. "It's too late; they're already gone."
At the Park
"Look at this place, it's huge!" Emmett said as he looked around the amusement park.
"Wow, I've never seen anything like it!" Bella replied as she too took in the park, turning around and around as she tried to take in all the different sights and sounds.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Emmett grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her towards the Main Street where he spotted a Horse-Drawn Streetcar making its way down the street. "Yes! I've always wanted to ride on one of those Horse-Drawn Streetcars. Come on, let's hop on." Without waiting for Bella to reply he lifted her up onto an available streetcar and hopped in next to her. After going up and down Main Street, watching people and pointing out the different shops, with Emmett on occasion waving to little kids as they passed by, they got off the streetcar and went into the Liberty Arcade and the Discovery Arcade and spent about an hour in both.
The afternoon quickly passed by as they made their way to each part of the park, taking short breaks for one of Bella's "human moments" or when it was time for her to eat. Emmett was careful to make sure she didn't become too tired, hungry or thirsty. Bella was his responsibility and he wanted to prove to Edward that he could take care of her and keep her safe as well.
As they continued walking down the street Emmett noticed kids and parents wearing different hats or mouse ears. He saw a hat shop a few doors down and pulled Bella towards the shop. "Bella, you need Mouse Ears. Come on!" He led her inside to the section that held different types of Mouse Ears.
"Emmett, this is embarrassing!" Bella hissed. "I don't want to wear Mouse Ears! Only kids wear Mouse Ears, or their parents and that's only to get the kids to wear Mouse Ears!"
"Aw, come on Bella, it's practically a rite of passage. You can't visit Disneyland and not buy a pair of Mouse Ears. Besides, it's one of those 'human experiences' Edward keeps talking about. You don't want to disappoint him, do you?" Emmett knew he was hitting below the belt but he was determined that Bella should have her very own Mouse Ears.
"Oh, all right!" Bella said, sighing as she looked over the hats before pointing to one that caught her eye. "Okay, I'll take those, the pink ears."
"Great! Now, you've got to have them personalized with your name and the date."
"Are you kidding me?" Bella looked at Emmett in disbelief. "No way!"
"Yes, way! Come on Bella, you need a memento of this day and everyone has their ears personalized. Please, do it for your big brother?" He gave her his puppy-dog eyes. Bella rolled her eyes before breaking down.
"Alright, alright!"
While they were waiting for her Mouse Ears to be personalized, Bella looked around the shop and caught sight of two other hats, a groom's top hat and a bride's hat. She smiled as a crazy idea popped into her head. Emmett saw the hats she was eying, as well as the look on her face and he started grinning. "Do it, Bella. You gotta get them!"
Bella handed both ears to the sales person to have personalized as well. She pulled out her wallet and saw that Edward had snuck several notes inside, including dollars and Euros, as well as a shiny black credit card that read "Bella Cullen". After a moment's thought she pulled the black credit card out of the wallet and handed it to the sales clerk. Ok, Mr. Cullen, Bella thought, let's see how you react when you learn my first purchase on the card is a pair of Mouse Ears! Bella started to giggle uncontrollably as she imagined first Edward's and then Alice's reaction to this memorable first time use of her credit card.
In The Meantime, Back in London…
Edward was pacing in the sitting room, wearing a hole in the floor while Alice stood nearby, also fuming. Rosalie sat in an armchair, buffing her nails, completely unconcerned with reactions of the two vampires standing nearby.
"How could you let him do this, Rosalie?" Edward said through gritted teeth, his fists clenched.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Oh, stop with the dramatics, Edward. I didn't even know he was thinking about Disneyland Paris." Rosalie paused, a thoughtful look on her face. "Instead of getting angry right away, just think about the situation for once, okay? You promised we could all spend one-on-one time with Bella, and that included Emmett. Emmett isn't going to let anything happen to her, Edward." Edward snorted at this, but Rosalie continued unperturbed.
"You're so concerned with Bella getting hurt you sometimes forget to let her live, to have all those 'human experiences' you keep telling her you want her to have. Emmett has a chance to share this one human experience with her, and who better than Emmett to appreciate it? You know he's like a little kid; this place is like heaven to him." Rosalie paused again, to make sure Edward was listening to her. "Edward, when it comes to Bella and her safety, Emmett is not a kid. He takes it very seriously and you know he will protect her at all costs. You have to trust him, Edward."
"I should just go to Paris, make sure everything is alright." Edward muttered under his breath.
"No, you will do no such thing!" Rosalie said as she stood up and faced her brother, hands on hips. "You do that and what you will be saying is "I don't trust you, Bella, and I don't trust you either my brother." How do you think they're going to feel about that?"
Edward ran his hands through his hair and then started to pinch the bridge of his nose, a sure sign he was under stress. Rosalie stance softened as she watched her brother. She knew it was out of concern for Bella, but he needed to understand she wasn't a child.
"Edward, we all want what's best for Bella, but you can't smother her. She's not your child; she's a woman and your fiancée. You have to trust that we will keep her safe and you have to show her that you trust her to not put herself in harm's way…"
Edward sat on the sofa and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees as he rubbed his temples. What to do? What was there to do? He knew all he could do was wait and hope Emmett brought back Bella safely.
Alice sat next to Edward, and put a hand on his shoulder. "It'll be alright, Edward. I know it will be."
Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, A Pirates Life for Me
Bella and Emmett spent the next couple of hours getting on all the rides they could. Bella made Emmett go with her on the "It's A Small World" ride 3 times, which was no hardship for Emmett because he loved the ride. She laughed hysterically when Emmett started singing "It's A Small World", joined by 30 small children ranging in age from 3 to 7, all singing at the top of their little lungs as their parents watched, amused by the big man who could inspire so many little children to sing.
Finally they made their way to the last ride of the day before they left Paris, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It was Emmett's favorite ride and he was definitely channeling his inner-Alice because he couldn't keep still on his feet, hopping around excitedly as the line slowly moved forward.
Bella started laughing. "Emmett, I can't believe you. I mean, you're always like a big kid, but with this ride just thinking about it is making you act like the biggest kid ever!"
Emmett grinned at Bella. "What can I say, little sis, I am a big kid. That's what Rosalie loves most about me. She can be so serious but I can always make her smile and lighten up."
Before they had gone to stand in the queue for the Pirates ride, they had stopped by one of the gift shops so that Emmett could buy his Pirates of the Caribbean Pirate Hat, complete with dreadlocks, which Bella had insisted on paying for, once again pulling out the little black card. Emmett was now proudly wearing his hat, citing lines from the movie as the line slowly inched forward.
They finally reached the front of the line and Bella carefully stepped into the boat while Emmett watched to make sure she didn't trip and fall into the water. That would have been a very Bella-like thing to do. Once they were both safe in the boat and all the other passengers had taken their seats, the boat slowly started to move forward.
Emmett had a big smile on his face as he turned to Bella. "Have you ever been on this ride?"
Bella shook her head. "Nope, never. I've never been to Disneyland, remember, not even the one in California. My dad wanted to take me once before, but it didn't work out. This is my first time."
"Well, you're in for a treat. This is my favorite ride. It really isn't much of an adrenaline rush like the faster rides, but it's a lot of fun!"
"So…are there any big drops I should know about?" Bella asked Emmett as the boat continued to slowly move along.
"Well, it depends on what you mean by 'big drop'. If you're talking about a REALLY BIG DROP, then no, there isn't, but there is a nice sized drop ahead and the fun part is not knowing when it's going to happen."
Bella could barely make out Emmett's features as it was getting darker the deeper into the cavern they went. "You would, of course, let your little sister know when it's going to happen, right?"
Bella could hear Emmett chuckling next to her. "Right, Emmett???" Bella repeated in a slightly higher voice.
"Little sis, part of the fun is not knowing. All of a sudden it happens and you feel this adrenaline rush and then you realize it's not as bad as you thought."
Emmett looked towards Bella and could see her squeezing her eyes shut. He decided he needed to get her to relax.
"Bella," he whispered loud enough for only her to hear. "One of the things you discover when you become a vampire is that your senses become sharper. Your sense of smell, your vision and your hearing are sharper. Now's your time to practice. Use your ears. What do you hear?"
He could see Bella listening hard. Her head jerked up and her eyes snapped open as she heard the faints screams coming from the boats in front of them. She smiled.
"I hear people screaming and boats rushing through water, before splashing down at the bottom. It's coming up, isn't it?"
Emmett smiled. "I knew you could do it."
As they neared the drop the people in the boat ahead of them started screaming as they went down the drop. Bella took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. Emmett nodded approvingly as he tried to encourage her. "That's it, Bella, just let go."
The boat suddenly leaned forward and they went shooting down the drop, Emmett yelling, "YEAH!!!" as he threw his arms into the air. Beside him Bella let out a big "WHOO-HOO!!!" as she started laughing hysterically, her eyes shining as she turned her head towards Emmett who was grinning wildly. It was now light in the cavern and she could see Emmett grinning at her.
"You see, that wasn't so bad, was it? All that worrying for nothing," he teased as Bella playfully shoved his shoulder. Emmett pretended to fall back, both of them laughing because they knew Bella didn't have the strength to move his rock solid shoulder if he didn't want to move.
"Now comes the best part," he said with a maniacal grin on his face. Bella stopped laughing and looked at him suspiciously, sensing something embarrassing was about to happen. She remembered what Alice had said about Emmett's last trip to Disneyland and this particular ride. Her suspicions were confirmed when Emmett started humming pirate songs under his breath.
Bella shook her head and put her hands over her face. "Oh no, no, no. Emmett, what is wrong with you? Why are you always breaking into song like this?" This time there weren't just little kids around. There were teenagers, adult, and Bella didn't want to be the center of attention among that particular group.
"I don't know Bella! It's like someone turns on the music in my head and I can't control what comes out of my mouth!"
Bella kept shaking her head, pulling her head down and trying to hide. Emmett wasn't going to let that happen.
"Come on, Bella, you can do this. These people don't know you. You'll never see any of them again. I didn't make you sing when we went on the "It's A Small World Ride" but now it's time for you to loosen up and just let go, like you did before the drop. Come on, repeat after me: Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me…"
Bella lifted her head a fraction and quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching before singing in a very quiet voice, "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me…"
Emmett started grinning again as he sang the next line, "We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, we loot. Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho."
"Go on, Bella, you can do it. Don't worry, just sing." Emmett encouraged.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me…" Bella's voice started to get stronger as she let go of her fear of being in the spotlight and just enjoyed the moment. "We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack. Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack, drink up me hearties, yo ho."
Bella had a huge smile on her face as she sat up straight in her seat next to Emmett. Other people were smiling, but Emmett was right, she'd never see these people again and it was fun!
"That's it, little sister!" Emmett said as they both got ready to sing the next verse, but before they could get the words out the rest of the riders in their boat and in the boats surrounding them had gleefully taken up the song: "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We kindle and char, inflame and ignite. Drink up, me 'earties, you ho. We burn up the city, we're really a fright. Drink up, me 'earties, you ho."
Bella and Emmett just looked at each and laughed, before they joined the rest of the singing group as the ride continued to the end.
One Last Stop
"Thank you, big brother," Bella said as they left the park, giving Emmett a big hug. "That was so much fun. I had a fantastic time."
Emmett chuckled. "Me too, little sis. I'm glad you were able to relax and just enjoy yourself."
"Well, I did. I had a great time."
"Anytime, Bella. You know, I've always liked you, from the very beginning. You've always fit in with us, you know, like you were the missing piece in our family puzzle. I'm glad we get to spend eternity with you!"
"Aw, thanks!" Bella lightly punched Emmett on the chest. He again pretended to stagger backwards, enjoying the laugh he got from Bella every time he did it.
They hailed a taxi and got in to head back to the train station, Emmett carrying Bella's bags of souvenirs. Suddenly, Bella looked concerned. "Emmett, I just had a thought. We're going to be in big trouble when we get back, you know that, right?"
Emmett nodded and sighed, not looking forward to the coming confrontation with his brother.
"Oh Emmett, what are you so worried about? I won't let Edward take it out on you. What you should be worrying about is Alice. She's going to kill us!" Bella shook his arm.
"Oh, god, you're right. That little pixie is going to annihilate us!" Emmett started to panic a bit. Suddenly the idea of staying in Paris was starting to look good. He'd send word to Rosalie as soon as he could, begging her to join him in exile. He'd have to learn to live like a Frenchman, but what the heck, it would be fun. He could even start practicing the only French he knew, Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir. Wait, better not practice that one.
Bella rolled her eyes at Emmett's reaction. "Calm down, Emmett. Your little sister already has this covered." Bella reached into her bag and took out her wallet. "Tell the driver to take us to the Champs- Elysées; we have one quick stop to make before catching the train back to London…"
Bella and Emmett Back in London
The taxi dropped Emmett and Bella off in front of the house. They quietly opened the door, Bella wearing her pink Mouse Ears and Emmett still wearing his Pirates of the Caribbean Pirate Hat with dreadlocks. Both listened to see who was home. All they heard was silence. They quietly made their way down the long hallway and into the sitting room, where they were met by an angry Edward and Alice. Jasper and Rosalie were sitting in the armchairs while Esme and Carlisle were sharing the couch. Rosalie looked unconcerned while Jasper was doing his best to keep the emotions calm in the room. Edward's arms were folded across his chest and his eyes were dark as he glared at his brother. His eyes briefly flickered to Bella and softened before hardening again when he returned his gaze to Emmett.
Emmett held up his hands in a placating manner as he entered the room, Bella at his side. "Hold on, Edward. I can explain…"
"I can't believe you did that! You were supposed to have a day of fun with Bella, HERE in LONDON, not on the same continent as the Volturi! What the hell were you thinking???" Edward growled in a low angry voice.
While Edward was having words with Emmett, Alice had a scowl on her face as she stared up at the ceiling. "Bella, I can't believe you! After all we've done to make sure you're safe…"
Bella started to interrupt. "Alice…"
Alice continued as if she hadn't even heard Bella speak. "…how could you not even consider taking me, your favorite sister, to the shopping capital of the world?"
Bella blinked at this unexpected, or perhaps expected, response from Alice and decided to try to head her off. "But Alice…"
"Oh, no! No "but Alice" from you! I'm so disappointed. We could have had a great time, but instead of shopping along the Champs-Elysées you pick Disneyland Paris as the place to do your shopping! And now all you have to show for being in Paris is Mouse Ears!" Alice stood with her arms folded across her chest, fuming.
Bella ducked her head, ashamed, before her face brightened as she remembered the surprise she had in her bag.
"Alice, I didn't come back empty-handed. Look…" Bella carefully pulled out the four lovely Hermes silk scarves that were carefully wrapped in the bag. "I made Emmett take me to the Hermés shop on the Champs-Elysées and I brought all of us girls back these lovely scarves…"
Alice squealed. "Bella! Hermes silk scarves! You went to Hermés! You actually went into a shop without me prompting you and you bought these exquisite scarves…" Alice lovingly caressed the scarf that Bella handed to her while Jasper watched in amusement. "Oh, it's beautiful…." Alice then caught herself and stood up straight, a stern look on her face. She shook a finger in Bella's face as she scolded her. "Alright, Miss Smarty-Pants, you're off the hook this time, but ditch me like that again and we're going to be having words!" Alice then squealed again and pulled Bella into a hug. "Thank you, little sister, I love the scarf!"
Jasper started laughing quietly from the armchair where he was still seated, amused at how easily Alice forgave Bella.
"I have one for you, Rosalie, and you too Esme." Bella handed the scarves to Rosalie and Esme who "oohed" and "ahh'd" over their prints. She turned to Carlisle and gave him a Disney Seven Dwarfs Doc Plushie toy for his office which made Carlisle chuckle and caused Bella to say, "Well, I thought it was appropriate, Doc!"
"Thank you, Bella, I'll treasure it for eternity." Carlisle teased.
She also handed both him and Jasper Chronograph Sports Mickey Mouse watches that were nice enough even Alice wouldn't object to them wearing them on occasion.
Bella timidly glanced in Edward's direction. He'd let Emmett off the hook as he'd obviously brought back Bella safe and unharmed, but he still looked angry. His gaze was intense and she couldn't read what he was thinking or feeling. She immediately went to him and put her arms around his waist as she laid her head against his chest, squeezing him as tight as she could.
"Please don't be angry with me, Edward." Bella said and she placed a soft kiss over his heart. Edward shivered and let out a small sigh, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and holding her tight. Bella smiled into his chest, relieved he wasn't angry with her, but she thought it best to reassure him. "Emmett kept a really close eye on me and made sure I was safe. And we really did have a great time."
She could feel Edward nodding his head as his tense muscles started to relax. Bella decided to press her advantage.
"I even used my brand new shiny black 'Bella Cullen' credit card to buy those scarves and I swear I didn't blink once when I saw how much it was going to cost. I even bought my Mouse Ears and some other souvenirs with my new card."
Edward's shoulders started shaking as he began to laugh, amused to know that her limitless credit card had been used to buy Mouse Ears and other souvenirs at a theme park. "Great, the first time you use the card and it's with Emmett at Disneyland Paris buying Mouse Ears."
Bella laughed. "I got you something too…"
Edward smiled crookedly, pulling back a little so he could see Bella's face. "What did you buy for me?"
Bella opened up the bag and pulled out a personalized Mickey Mouse Ears Groom Top Hat and Minnie Mouse Rhinestone Bride Ears, both personalized with the names "Edward Cullen" and "Bella Cullen". Edward started laughing, Bella joining him as she put his top hat on his head and her bride hat on her own head.
