Chapter 9. Emmet + Pancakes and Bella + Dance Studio

I awoke in my favorite place to be; Edward's arms. I stretched and rolled over to get a better look at his face.

"Good morning beautiful." Edward whispered kissing the top of my head. He smiled my favorite smile. It had been a long night, I had finally dropped of exhaustion at 3:00am. I peeked over Edward's shoulder and saw the time on the alarm clock… 10:00am.b

Just as I was about to get up Alice burst through the door, "Come on you two, I made pancakes!"

I groaned and stumbled my way out of bed. Finally I had some time to rest hopefully because last night Alice and I seemed to pick out every possible thing for the wedding, at least I hope we did.

I was still groggy with sleep so naturally on my way down the stairs I tripped. As always, before I hit the ground the two pale arms of my gorgeous vampire fiancé reached out to catch me.

"Same old Bella," He chuckled while swooping me up into his arms and carrying me to the table. He set me down and then took the seat next to me. He grabbed my hand and raised our intertwined fingers to brush the backside of my hand against his face.

He sighed contented. "Five days Bella, five days," I knew of course he was talking about our wedding, but instead of the nerves I usually felt, I was brimming with happiness.

Married, to Edward, the love of my life (and death).

"Ok Bella, eat up because today you and Edward are going to dance class, and then tomorrow we start writing your vows!" Alice was brimming over with excitement; my previous joy however was going out the door. Dancing?!

"Alice, why do we have to go to dance class, Edward will just lead!?!" I frantically pleaded with her.

"Nope, we have to get a dance routine, and plus you need to hear 'your song' !"

Edward squeezed my hand, "Don't worry, I'll never let you fall." He grinned mischievously. It was painfully obvious that my falling all of the time was partially due to Edward's gorgeousness but also he quite enjoyed always catching me, not that I minded either.

I started to dig into my pile of pancakes when Emmet came back with a tower of pancakes.

"A-are those for you?" I asked utterly dumbfounded.

"I love pancakes, at least I used to. They still smell good to me so…" with that he shoveled all of the pancakes into his mouth.

"Everyone run!" Alice screamed.

"Why?" I asked

"Emmet's gonna…" it was too late all of a sudden; sodden chunks of chewed pancakes came spilling all over the table flying in all directions.

Edward pushed me under the table, sing vampire speed, and somehow I ended up underneath him. He held me down while all around us Emmet's pancakes were being splattered over the table and onto the floor.

All of the other couples in the cullen household were in the same position, except for Rosalie of course who was under the table by herself mumbling, "Idiot!"

Edward was still lying on top of me causing me to blush furiously. He looked down at me and chuckled. He leaned down and kissed me, not one of those wimpy kisses either.

When he pulled away to let me breathe I was gasping for air and all of the Cullen's (except for Emmet who was still barfing) were staring at us. I tried to keep my breathing down but it didn't work.

Rosalie was staring at us with a look of disgust/ awe in her eyes. I guess she was happy that Edward had found someone but disgusted by who that someone was.

Alice was staring at us with an expression that said, 'Look! Look how happy they are, it's so cute!'.

Jasper looked like he was about to explode from all of the emotions, but he looked also semi- proud of Edward.

Esme looked like she was about to explode with joy, and Carlisle looked proud.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Come on Edward; get your butts downstairs, we're going to be late for our dance lesson!"

"Edward, how many people are going to this dance lesson?"

"Well we're all going…" What! Now all of them will see me fall down a million times!

"Well be reasonable love, they need to practice their dance steps too."

"No they don't! They'll do it perfect!"

He snorted, "Well they have to learn the steps first." He pulled my close and kissed the top of my head.

I pulled around in his arms so I could see his face.

"Don't let me fall, please!"

"You have nothing to worry about, do I need to tamper with your memory again?"

I smiled knowing what he was talking about, "Would you?"

He leaned down and kissed me, and as predicted I slowly forgot my worries, it was so easy to feel safe in his arms. When he broke away he laid a trail of kisses down my neck and up again.

"Now let's go before Alice makes Jasper pass out with her excitement and anticipation."

"Can vampires even pass out?" I asked.

"I don't know, but I do know that if we don't get down those stairs in two seconds Alice will come up here and not only drag you to this dance lesson, but also take you shopping every day until we're married."

He scooped me up in his arms (apparently he didn't want me bruised for our wedding and letting me walk on my own was too dangerous) and we flew down the stairs where he set me down, not before Alice picked me up, threw me over her shoulder, and ran us at vampire speed t the car.

"Why must people pick me up?" I asked annoyed. Edward placed a calming hand on my shoulder as Alice zoomed away with Edward and I in the back seat of the Volvo.

When we reached the dance studio I gazed up in awe, it was huge! We walked into the mirrored room with our dance instructor, who was a guy named Antonio.

I stared at myself in the mirrors and saw myself reflected from every angle. Then all of those terrible repressed memories came back. James, the camera, him throwing me against the glass, how he said it would be a nice effect, and the most terrifying part the fire.

I started shaking but Edward was on the other side of the room, he didn't notice. I vaguely heard Alice cry out, "Bella". Then the darkness came and swallowed me up.

I awoke to an angel's voice. The angel was terrified now, scared for my life, The angel cried out to someone to ask something they replied, "She will wake up in 5,4,3,2,1 they snapped their fingers waking me from my trance like state.

I inhaled deeply. I looked up at Edward, we were in the Cullen house.

"I am so sorry Bella, my love, I had no idea you would feel that way about the studio, I should have realized…" at this point he shot an angry glance at Alice.

"I saw but it was too late, I guess I was just too excited about our little lesson." Alice replied angrily.

"Bella, Bella?" Edward turned his attention to me now, surprised that I hadn't spoken yet. The truth is the memory of that torturous day was now freshly replanted in my mind.

I don't know why but I broke down sobbing. Edward pulled me into his arms and rocked us on the couch.

"Shhh, its okay…shhh." Edward whispered to me for hours until I stopped crying, he continued rocking us, by this time the Cullen's had cleared out of the room.

"How-how long was I out?"

"Just a few hours." He replied as if it were nothing though I knew the whole time he was probably a nervous break down waiting to happen.

"I love you." I said simply.

"I love you too." He replied. He kissed the top of my head.

"You know what we should do now!?" I asked excitedly.

"What?" he asked happy that I was happy again.

"Well I never got a proper chance to make fun of Emmet!" I replied brightly.

"NOOOOOOO!" we heard a shout that could only be Emmet come from upstairs.

"Shall we?" I asked Edward taking his hand.

"We shall!" Edward replied happily.
