EPOV

We managed to pass the time; both eagerly awaiting what tonight had in store for us. I took Bella to our 'special place' after we finished running errands. More so to relax her as she was becoming more ecstatic about the carnival as the day passed, but also because I wanted the day to be perfect for her. This was the one place we were able to find solace from the world around us, and focus on one another; o' our meadow. We could lay there for hours staring into one another's eyes, and it would feel like mere minutes. It was amazing how we held a complete conversation without words. Our eyes expressed what we wanted to say; how much we loved one another. This place was truly magical.

Time didn't exist when we were there. Nothing existed but her and I. On any other day, we would have let ourselves get lost in the wonderment the meadow offered, but today was special. Today, I was taking my Bella to her very first carnival. I had to admit, I was very excited knowing this was one of her many firsts I would be able to share with her.

I broke our long held gaze and looked up toward the sky. The sun became covered in a thick billowy cluster of clouds. A typical day in Forks. Well, without the rain. The ever darkening haze reminded me that we needed to be leaving soon, because evening was approaching. I heard a familiar grumble, telling me it was time to feed the human again. I could not help but sit up and laugh. In the countless times I'd heard that sound, I still could not get used to it without letting out a snicker. I went decades living in a home with six other beings, never once hearing the echo of a hungry stomach. Though, I would have been much happier hearing that sound rather than some of the others that frequented our home. Do not even get me started.

"Bella, love, I think we should get going. We need to get you fed. By the time you finish, it should be time to leave for the carnival," I told her, as I stood up. She laid there a few minutes longer, looking peaceful and content, with a smile now drenching her lips. She was breathtaking. Her chocolate curls flowed around her head on top of the green grass she rested on. She was the picture of ethereal perfection and even better, she was all mine.

She groaned as she sat up, looking at me with those gorgeous browns of hers, "I know we've been here for hours, but it seems we never have enough time here. I wish I could bottle up what I feel right now and take it home with me."

I was all too aware of how she felt. I, myself, felt the same way. I held my hands out for her to grasp them so I could help her to her feet. She eagerly took them and pulled herself up. She leaned it to me and planted a soft peck on my lips. I gave her the crooked grin I knew she loved so much, causing her to giggle.

We strode back to my Volvo, hand in hand, leaving our little 'heaven on earth' behind. Bella anxiously climbed in the passenger seat. As I closed her door and made my way to the driver's side, I couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. It was rare to see Bella so hyped about something. I climbed in behind the wheel and placed my hand in Bella's lap as we took off. She laid her head against the back of the seat, and let out a deep sigh. I noticed from my peripherals that her eyes were on me.

"What's wrong, my love?" I asked her.

"Nothing. I like watching you," she said, "Thank you."

"For what?" I asked.

"For being you, for being my Edward," she said with a smile.

I lifted her hand to my lips and kissed it gently. "No, thank you for letting me have you,"

We drove in silence until we got to her house. I brought her hand to my lips again and gave it a small kiss, in turn causing her to blush. I got out and helped her out of my car and we walked hand in hand into her house.

"Bells? Is that you?" I heard Charlie shout over the game. "Hey dad," she said as we walked in together. "Hello Charlie. Good to see you again sir," I said as I stepped forward to shake his hand. "Edward," he said non-chalant; looking at Bella with questioning eyes as she stifled a giggle.

I then gave her my crooked grin, "I'll pick you up at 7pm. Is it cool if my family wants to come?" Bella squealed and jumped in my arms. "That would be fantastic!!! The more the merrier!!" 'He better put her down before I get my gun.' Grinning, I put her down as soon as I heard Charlie's thoughts. She looked at me confused. "I'll see you soon," as she walked me to the door. "Your dad threatened to get his gun," I said with a wry smile. She just shook her head and kissed me before closing the door to cook Charlie and herself some dinner.

I drove home in my usual manner, which meant not paying attention to the speed limit. When I got close to the house I could hear my brothers and sisters talking about the carnival. 'Good, they already know about the carnival.' I thought. Their knowledge saved me time explaining. As I pulled up, Alice ran to me and started gushing about how I had to take Bella in the 'Tunnel Of Love', had to do the Ferris wheel, yada yada yada. She followed behind me, badgering me to do this and to do that. She had said that Bella simply had to do everything if she were to truly appreciate what the carnival had to offer. I stopped suddenly causing her to crash into me with a loud boom, causing Jasper to look up from his WWII magazine.

"Alice , this is Bella's first time going. She's just as ecstatic as you are. I promise to make sure she sees everything, and I mean everything," I said to my pixie of a sister. All she did was grin ear to ear.

"Babe, I'm going to win you another stuffed bear!" I heard Emmett bellow to Rosalie. Rosalie, not coming out from under her car, stated "You big gorilla, how many times do I have to tell you I don't want a stuffed bear from any of these carnivals?" 'I loved those bears and I especially loved the fact that all the girls were jealous that I was the one walking out with you on my arm. Take that bitches.' I heard her think to herself and I chuckled. Being a mind-reader certainly had its good points and bad ones. Now being one of the bad. Emmett's lustful thoughts about Rosalie as she worked on cars nauseated me. Those were thoughts and visions I could definitely live without! My glare in Emmett's direction more than clarified that.

I went to my room to listen to Claire De Lune while I waited until it was time to leave to pick up my sweet Bella. How I wished I could give her everything she wanted without consequences. She needed to understand my restraint was for her well being. Alice 's thoughts interrupted my own mental barrage, 'Edward! I'm going with you. I can't very well allow Bella to dress herself. She's going to wear this new outfit I got for her tonight! We're meeting everyone there,' I glided downstairs to Alice; standing there with her hands on her hips while tapping her ballerina shoes impatiently.

"Alice , you know Bella hates when you play dress up," I stated as I walked to the car. I saw Alice pouting at the door. "Ok shrimp, get in. But, if Bella doesn't want to wear it, please don't force her. I want tonight to be special for her," I said as she jumped up for joy and got in the car. "Do you really think I would make her wear something she wouldn't like? Sheesh. Have faith in me, Edward. So far she's loved everything I got her," she said with a huge grin. I decided to warn Bella by text Alice's intentions, 'Heads up, Alice got you another outfit' She replied back, 'Oh man!!' I laughed at her response as Alice grabbed my phone and started pouting; causing me to laugh even harder.

Before I came to a complete stop, Alice had jumped out of the car and raced to Bella's door and knocked. Luckily, Charlie wasn't home or it would have been hard to explain how Alice jumped out of a moving car and was left unharmed. I waited until Bella answered the door to find Alice standing there with her arms folded and pouting.

"Oh Alice ! I'm sorry. I promise you from here on out you can dress me up, as long as I don't look retarded," Bella said as an excited Alice scooped her up in a gentle hug. They were both laughing when I approached her. "Love, you didn't have to promise her anything," I said as I kissed her. She returned the kiss before being pulled into the house, "It's ok,"she said laughing, "I like seeing her excited and happy," she all but yelled from her room. After what seemed forever, Alice 's little voice popped into my head.

'Edward, close your eyes,' as she recited Claire De Lune's Debussy in Italian. 'Great, now she is keeping something from me' I hissed, before doing as she asked.

"Edward?" said my angel. I opened my eyes and my mouth nearly dropped to the floor.

"Bella, you look absolutely astonishing," I said as I pulled her into a hug; my words causing a beautiful blush across her cheeks. She was wearing a dark blue, barely to the knee dress that tied around her neck. Her hair was in ringlets down her back and shoulders. She was breathtaking. 'See, Edward? Admit it. You love when I play Barbie,' the little pixie said smugly. "Yes Alice , I love it," I said as we walked out to my car. I opened the door for Alice and Bella.

I wanted tonight to be special. Tonight was her night. Nothing would go wrong for my Bella. Nothing.
