People of Earth! Nice to see you! Here's chapter 5 for the handful of you that read this! Just to let you know I'm going on holiday tomorrow (Thursday) not for long just til Sunday, so I might not have a new chapter out for a bit unless I get one writen and up really quick. Oh yeah and because of this I may not be able to reply to those loverly reviews until Sundy/Monday :)
The room was filled with a colourful array of flowers. Mainly roses. Standing chatting, acting like I hadn't just fainted or fell down the stairs, were Charlie and Jacob. Idiots. I pushed my way through the sea of flowers and over to where Edward stood with a tray in the corner. In his free hand was another flower. This one was small and familiar. It had plain, purple petals, with a hint of pink and red. That was it. But it was by far the most beautiful flower in the room.
"For you." He whispered, smiling his perfect crooked smile. He passed me the flower behind his back. It took all my strength not to give him a hug, but that wouldn't go to well with Charlie and Jacob. "I picked it myself, from the meadow."
"It's beautiful, thank you, Edward." I smiled as I inhaled the flowers rich scent. It smelled wonderful.
Charlie span around to face me. He stared at my outfit, grimacing. He hated it. He forced a smile onto his face, a fake one, not like the ones he would give Jacob. If I knew any better I'd say Charlie was in love Jacob, but Charlie was not over my mother, so that could not be true. Edward shoved a cup of tea into my hands, before walking of towards the kitchens.
"Isabella." Charlie spoke, softly trying to conceal the anger that was raging inside of him. I could tell as he was not doing a very good job. "Lovely outfit. You know Jacob, here, do you not, Isabella?"
"Yes, father. This would be about the marriage issue wouldn't it father?"
"You see right through me, dear. It would be about that. Jacob has informed me about your behaviour yesterday. Is it true that you wish not to marry this wonderful young man?"
"That would be extremely true, father."
"It's not about what you think. You shall marry him. Is it also true that you were with someone yesterday, Isabella?"
"You where spying on me?" I growled mainly at Jacob, but Jacob would never come up with something like that on his own, Charlie was the evil mastermind behind the scheme.
"Now, now, Isabella. Spying is an ugly word; I'd say more of keeping an eye out for you. Now who was it, Isabella?"
"Why should I tell you?" I snarled. I couldn't take any more of there questions. I can't believe they would spy on me! Can they not trust me? I stormed out of the palace, away from Charlie, away from Jacob and towards the river.

Mine and Alice's morning shifts where over. Alice had to continue working this afternoon, whilst I had the rest of the day off. That's because I had the best boss ever. Alice's boss was King Charlie, and nobody liked him. My boss was Marcus. I was his favourite employee, which showed in my working hours.
"You really like her don't you?" Me and Alice were walking home together, as usual. Bella was the first girl I'd ever liked. I'd liked her since we were 12. 3 years of cowardliness, as Alice said.
"Yes, Alice I do really like her."
"How much?"
"Too much, more than she likes me, I believe."
"You love her. Go tell her." How did Alice know these things? I followed her gaze over to the river. There, sitting with her legs dangling off the edge of the bridge we had to cross, was Bella. "I'll take a detour." And with that she had disappeared.
"Hey." I smiled as I sat next to her.
"Hi." She muttered. Her eyes were red around the edges. She'd been crying. She held onto my hand. "I can't believe he'd make me do that!" She whispered. "I don't want to marry Jacob! Sure I want to get married in the future, but never in a million years to him!"
"Marry me then. When we're older, I mean. We'll live on the mainland. Do everything you've ever wanted to do. I'll do anything for you, anything you ask of me I'll do it without a second thought, even if it means leaving you alone for as long as we live, I'll do it. You know why? Because I love you, Bella. So much I don't even know the extent of how much I do. You've got to believe me."
"Did you just propose to me?" She giggled.
"Only if you're going to say yes. Not now but, the offers always open."
"I shall consider it, we should get going." I nodded in agreement. We stood up awkwardly. "Do you want to go get something to eat?" She asked as we walked away.
"Ok, what do you have in mind?"
"There's a little café in the market. I think Jane and Aro own it."
"Oh yeah, I've heard of that. Supposedly really good. Rose works there, when she's not at the shop, I think. That was if she was in work today, Jasper told me she was sick this morning."
"Come to mention it she hasn't been herself recently. Oh, I hope she's ok."

Rosalie was ill. Too ill to be at work, yet there she was, leaning weakly against the counter. She was thinner. Thinner than her usual twig self, but for some bizarre reason, she seemed fatter, not much just a bit podgy. Her normally gorgeous long, blonde hair was pulled back messily into a pony tail. And she was extremely pale; almost all of her colour was drained. And don't get me started on her outfit! Oh no, I'm turning into Alice!
"Edward, Bella!" She sang as we approached her. "I can not believe him!" She suddenly burst out, smashing her fist on the counter. "He sent you here, didn't he!"
"Rose, calm down. We came here to get something to eat." Edward spoke softly. I reached my hand out to her, to try and calm her. She pushed it away.
"I don't believe you! You're to innocent!" That's because of was innocent. "Emmett's sent you to find out what's wrong with me! Well, go and tell him, I don't know! And to get of my case!"
"Rosalie, we came to eat." Edward repeated. What has gotten into her? "But Emmett's probably just worried, maybe you should see Carlisle, it would stop Emmett from 'following' you."
"And maybe you should go now," I interrupted. "You don't look to good." She sighed and walked away.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked Edward as we waited for somebody to fill in for Rosalie.
"With my medical training, I'd say she-"
"Hi!" I high annoying voice interrupted. "I'm Jessica! What can I get you?" She asked specifically to Edward. What was I, invisible?
"Yeah, um, hi. I'll have a, um, blueberry muffin and a glass of water." He chuckled nervously at the girl's intense stare.
"Uh huh, anything else?" She batted her eyelashes. I was officially invisible.
"I'll have a chocolate muffin and a glass of water, please." Her eyes moved over to me. She sighed heavily and glanced back to Edward as if to say 'You could do better' or some kind of insult towards me. Her eyes lit up as I was slightly behind Edward. To her, behind Edward in the queue.
"It's rude to butt in on other people orders, missy." She smirked. Silly girl. I decided to have fun. I'm not rude to many people, but this one was hitting on Edward, what else could I do?
"Excuse me, Edward." I stage-whispered as I moved in front of him. I leant on the counter, crossing my arms.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Someone who doesn't need to be in this café." She spat. By now all the staff, including the owners, and all the customers had gathered around. Most, if not all, of them recognised me immediately.
"Jessica, leave it." A woman, presumably Jane, was tugging on Jessica's arm, pulling her away from the situation-to-be. Jessica slapped Jane's hand away.
"I am Isabella Swan, Princess Isabella. I'm one of the most important people on The Island, and what I say goes. You just messed with fate, little lady." I smiled, a mediocre smile compared to Edward's perfection. Edward grinned at me before taking my hand. Jessica's face had shock carved into it. She stared at me wide eyed before her eyes trailed down to Edward and my hand's entwined.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'll get your order right away." She whispered before turning away.
"Free chocolate muffins for everybody!" I declared loudly. Being good is well… good.

Edward and I walked back to his house, hand in hand, laughing at odd jokes and random things. Nothing important that I really need to recount, word by word, for you. That is until we reached the bridge.
Emmett was pacing over the bridge, back and forth, back and forth. He nearly screamed when he saw us.
"You two? Eddie! She's like our sister! Oh, what the heck! I've got bigger problems. It's Rosie, Bella! She's in with Carlisle right at this very moment! You have know idea how worried I am about her, Bells! I love her more than anything. I'm thinking of proposing soon, but don't tell her that. Thanks Bells I knew I could trust you! I don't think it would be to great if she was too sick to go to the wedding, you know?"
"Emmett, shut up for a moment. I believe I know what's wrong with Rosalie." Emmett practically screamed, pushing his younger, smaller, and I hate to say it, weaker, brother to the ground with a bone crushing hug.
"What is it, Eddie? Please tell me! I'll be forever in your debt."
"Ask – her – your – self." Edward struggled to breathe. Emmett clambered off of him.
I turned on my heel. Rosalie was walking slowly towards, fiddling with her hands. She was nervous. She was going to tell Emmett something, and she wasn't sure how he would take it. See, I know people.
She walked gracefully towards us. Emmett walked forward to meet her in the middle. He wrapped her arms around her, smoothing out her disastrous hair. He whispered something in her ear, trying to sooth her. Rosalie pulled away from the embrace. She looked deep into his eyes. And began to tell him something. He picked her up and spun her around. He took it well I suppose.
After he put her down, they walked, well skipped in Emmett's case, over to us. Rosalie grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the Cullen house.

I stared at Rosalie. Her expression gave barely anything away.
Clues:
Rosalie was happy
Emmett was happy
Carlisle looked worried, but happy
Edward looked smug, like he'd guessed right
Me, Jasper and Alice = Clueless
Esme's guessed correctly
Rosalie was ill in the morning
She was getting podgy
Rosalie's rubbing her sto-
Holy Cow!
"Everybody," Rosalie began, beaming. "I'm pregnant." (A/N: I was going to end it here but then I remembered how I was originally to end the chapter, so yeah...)
Me and Alice jumped up screaming happily like the morons we are. We lunged at Rosalie engulphing her in a hug.
"Rose, I'm so happy for you!" Me and Alice screamed in unison.
We jumped around like lunatics for, well let's put it this way, we stopped because Rosalie fell asleep. Edward suggested he walk me home, he didn't want me getting lost again, apparently. The sky was red, purple, orange and yellow. Sunset. My favourite time of day, it was so beautiful.
Red sky at night, Sheppard's delight. Red sky in the morning, Sheppard's are warning.
Well, that was odd. So if logics on my side, which it usually isn't, tomorrow will be a nice day, hopefully. Edward took my hand and lead the way to my house. I got lost once! And then it was dark! I do know the way to my own house.
"Can you believe Emmett got Rose knocked up?" Edward chuckled. What the heck does that mean? He must of saw the confused look on my face and quickly told me that it was a phrase from te main land. "It means Emmett got Rosalie pregnant when they weren't married."
"Oh." I could
"Well, here's your house." He said, swaying form side to side.
"I can see that."
"Well, bye, then." He turned around, walking the way we had come.
"Bye!" I shouted, waving.
"Oh and Edward?" I called when he was nearly out of ear shot.
"Yes." He shouted back. He turned slightly so I could see his face. He was smiling, like he knew what I was going to say next. Heck, I didn't even know what I was going to say next. I said the first thing that came into my head.
"I love you too."
Bella faints for tw reasons
1) Theres a hell of a lot of flowers s it shocks her
2) Edwards there and she loves him sooo much she gets dizzy and *plop* :)
