A/n: Ok I promise this chapter will be a thousand times longer than any of the others! It just might take me a while, and bye the way I need reviews people! I'm too eager to write the story anyway but still they help. Read on -
Chapter 3. Rumors
"No! I thought frantically, trying to come up with a good cover story. How could she be here and not with her. This whole operation needed to be a huge secret. But low and behold here comes the two people in the world that could never ever keep a secret; especially one this big!
"Bella!" called Jessica Stanley. "Omg it's so great to see you, I didn't think I'd see again ever!!!
She was followed reluctantly by Lauren. Jessica (I know) would have been content to blather away at me about anything and everything for hours before she noticed the bags we were carrying with the words Your Happily Ever Afters- Bridal shop written all over them.
Lauren however was unfortunately more observant than I was. "Hmmm," she sneered clearly seeing the horror on my face. "Who's getting married?" she asked interrupting Jessica's ramblings.
Alice spoke up for me because of my incapability to lie.
"Jasper and I if you must know." Alice spoke this as if it was none of Lauren's business (Which it wasn't) and also at the same time as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Humph!" Lauren snorted, clearly trying to think of a way to nail us for something.
Jessica however just stood there staring at us, for once speechless. I wasn't so lucky however in undermining Jessica's intelligence.
"No your not!" Jessica spoke up, "My parents went to your wedding 2 years ago, they remembered because they said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen!"
Alice replied a bit stiffly now knowing that Jessica was on the brink of the truth, "Oh, yes you remember."
"So," Lauren sneered, you could tell the pieces were just falling into place for her. , "If this isn't Alice's," she cringed at the name as if it were a deadly disease, "wedding, than whose wedding might it be?" Her eyes turned thoughtfully towards me.
Alice suddenly tensed next to me, and I could tell by her face that she was having a vision. She came back to the present a second later.
"I'm sorry Bella." She whispered so lowly that the thinking Lauren and the frozen with shock and apprehension Jessica, didn't have a hope of hearing.
Sorry for what? What was going on, oh no, what if they figured it out what would happen if…
Laurens sneering voice cut off my train of thought. Her menacing face now turned into a face of shock, next to me Alice tensed.
Oh boy she had figured it out I knew it.
"Y-you a-a-and C-c-cullen!?!?!?!?!" she managed to stutter shaking with shock and out rage.
"No!" Jessica beside her squealed. Oh boy I knew they would find out I just didn't know it would be this soon!!!
"Well…" Alice started but Lauren cut her off.
"Oh boy Bella, looks like you've done it now, why are you getting married so soon… you knocked up?" she asked in the most innocent tone.
Beside her Jessica face was frozen, I could just see her absorbing every word we said, knowing that she would later use it to share the best gossip she had ever heard.
At this Alice, I could tell was shaking with outrage. But I was the one who's temper flared up first.
"You know what Lauren," I cringed as the name slid across my tongue
"What Bella?" Her innocent tone just made me angrier.
I was about to lose it and everyone there could tell, "YOU NEED TO JUST SHUT UP BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS, SO GET OVER YOURSELF!!! I screamed this in her face, there were so many other mean and nasty things I wanted to say to her but instead I just grabbed Alice by the hand and said, "Common Alice, we're leaving."

As we entered the yellow porche I told Alice, "Take me your house as fast as you can go."
"Why..." Alice started to ask before she had a vision and knew.
If Jessica and Lauren knew, this rumor would be the talk of the town and everyone would hear, including Charlie who knew nothing about the marriage.
Alice was so happy she was singing as she got to speed down the highway as I permitted her to.
We arrived at her house and Edward was already waiting in the front door, he must have read Alice's mind and seen her vision.
I started to get out of the car before Alice's hand shot out and stopped me.
"Wait I saw something," she began obviously hesitant. "Everyone will know about you two by tomorrow morning and they will all call your house, you have 2 hrs. before Angela calls you and 1 hr. after that, Renée calls.
"What so I have 2 hours to tell Charlie, and then he calls my mom!" I could see Edward on the porch looking concerned.
"Don't worry Bella, it'll go fine." I took a deep breath and the next thing I knew, Alice was out of the car and Edward was in it.
"I thought you might want this." He said and in one of those amazingly fast movements of his the ring was sliding on my finger. Edward looked at it, then up to me.
"Are you ready?" he asked concerned. He now picked up my ring hand and help it in his.
"Do I have a choice?" I retorted.
"I don't suppose so." He sighed, then out of the blue he leaned down and kissed me. I was greedy today and my hands move to my face and vice versa. I made the most of that kiss before he pulled away his breathing coming a little unsteadily now.
He waited for me to stop panting and said, "You test my self control too much."
"What was that for?" I asked shocked
"You didn't want me to kiss you?" he asked the pain showing in his eyes.
"No, no, we should do that a lot more often!'" I replied overjoyed by the thought.
He smiled my favorite crooked smile and took my breath and my thoughts away.
"Breath love." He reminded me softly.
I took a steady breath as he chuckled some more. "What I was saying was what was that kiss for?"
"Oh nothing, love. Just a little encouragement you could call it.
"Could you encourage me more?" I asked.
He leaned down and kissed me a few times before kissing the side of my neck. I felt a slow blush creeping onto my face, though I did not know why. That's when I realized that it was just the thing his touch brought with it.
He pulled away and brushed his hand lightly over my blush.
"Are you encouraged enough now, my love?" he asked grinning.
"I guess…" I replied sad that this moment of 'us time' had to end.
He chuckled and we drove away at full speed to my house, to do what was sure to be a horrific nightmare for me but we drove anyway.
We walked up to the door, my destiny and me…
