Here we go Chapter 8

Bella POV

I couldn't believe I was doing this.

I can't believe I let Alice talk me into it.

If someone had told me two weeks ago that my life would change dramatically in the next two weeks, I would have called them crazy.

But no here I am getting fitted for a fashion show, which has been organised by Princess Alice. Not to mention what she wanted me to wear was, well they were beautiful, I'm just shocked that I'm going to be wearing them at all.

Two weeks ago I had been honoured to deliver Princess Alice of Wales's first born baby. I worked at The Portland Hospital here in London as a midwife. Alice wasn't due for another two weeks when she came in, her midwife wasn't there as she was unwell and I had privilege step in and deliver the soon to be new born Prince.

The birth went incredibly smoothly and several hours after Alice's arrival at the hospital, baby Prince Harry came into the world. It was the 12th of May 2010. And what a bonnie baby he was. He had brown hair with this light blonde tuff of hair at the front that was so uniquely him. Alice was amazing, she did all the right things she didn't get stressed, she only took the gas and air when she desperately need to and pushed like a pro when it was finally time to actually push. Honestly I was so impressed with her during that stage of the labour and at how quickly things moved along, that I honestly would have thought that this was her second baby rather than her first as the first is always the hardest.

I've had women who have got to the pushing stage and had to push for well over the two hour mark. When people see women give birth on TV they just think it's simple, and that when they tell you to push that's it, you push three times and the baby comes out, but that is so far from the truth it's unreal. Until your midwife or doctor tell you that you're crowning or can see the baby's head, it really can take hours to get to that point and depending on how long the mother has being in labour also depends on how fast it happens, as you really do need to have a lot of energy during the pushing stage of labour.

That is why I hold a lot of respect for women in labour and I let them go at there own pace, as I sure as hell don't bug them constantly either as you always get that one midwife that is always there and has to be in there. I'm not one of those, unless my patient wants me to stay, than I do, if not, I leave and check on them once every hour until it's time to push. As that is standard procedure.

When I told Alice she was pushing like she was having her second, just smiled and said that she was prepared and knew that it wasn't going to be a walk in the park and for that I completely applauded her. Not many women would say that in the middle of giving birth, without pain relief I might add.

The two weeks after Alice giving birth it had been a world wind of delivering more healthy gorgeous babies and having Alice on the phone begging me to do her charity fashion show ever since she asked me to visit at Kensington Place, on that first Sunday of her being home, as one of her models had had to unfortunately drop out. After a week of none stop phone calls and begging, I finally agreed.

Although now I'm wishing I had really thought about it, while I was looking in the mirror with my first outfit on.

"Wow!"

I looked up to see Alice herself looking at me, her bright blue eyes twinkling and a big smile in her face. I blushed a little as I couldn't help but feel a little exposed.

"Bella you look amazing. Honestly you do. And it fits you so well too. It shows off what an amazing figure you have, your surprisingly long, to die for creamy legs, it doesn't even need to be taken in either. It's literally perfect for you. Oh I cannot wait to see you in the dress next," Alice practically squealed, while clapping her hands. I smiled sheepishly and looked back into the mirror. I'm not gonna lie it does actually make me look a little good. It gives me curves where I don't normally have them.

"Okay…I'm gonna need help getting this off," I told her awkwardly. As I'd had someone to help me get into it but I dunno where she's gone. I think her name was Donna, I'm not to sure.

"Okay come on, I'll give you a hand sweetie."

Alice gave me a light nudge in the direction of the small changing room. I was honestly a little surprised that she'd help me, but at the same time, I wasn't surprised, it was just who Alice was, she was the kind of person who liked to do things for herself, just like anyone else rather than have someone do it for her. It's what everyone liked about her and more of course.

"Your dress is a gorgeous red and will look amazing against your ivory skin tone. The back is practically see through and, I'm not gonna lie, it does shows some major cleavage," Alice suddenly told me while unzipping me for outfit number 1. I nodded but felt a little self-conscious as other than a small pair of knickers, I had nothing else on underneath this…well bodysuit I think is what it's called, I don't know really, but it's gorgeous.

"You have a gorgeous body Bella, I'm very jealous right now," I looked at Alice in the mirror and she was pouting a little.

"Alice, considering that you just, had a baby two weeks ago, you look amazingly fantastic. You're gonna look to die for in your outfit, no matter I just know it, you always do. You're not a style icon for nothing." I told her reassuringly. She smiled at me and shrugged like she was trying to brush it off. But that was the truth.

"I'm lucky really, the dress that I'm wearing just flows to the floor and doesn't cling away were it's a gorgeous lavender colour and it's by Alexander McQueen." She told while she helped me take my outfit off and put it back on its hanger. She then grabbed the garment bag that was also hung up unzipped it and pulled out a what had to have been the most gorgeous red dress I have ever seen. It's even prettier than the prom dress I wore to prom and I had thought that that was the most beautiful dress I'd ever wear. Next to my wedding dress, that is. This dress would definitely show a lot of cleavage. That's for sure.

Alice helped me put the dress on and she didn't seem to care that I was topless in front of her whatsoever. Once it was on and secured properly, and when Alice had finished fussing about with it, she took a step back and looked me over with a scrutinising eye, before beaming at me. Her eyes were twinkling again and she held her hands to her chest.

"It's prefect. It is honestly the perfect dress for you Bella. Yes it shows cleavage, but it's the right amount for the dress, and as far as I can tell it doesn't need to be taken in anywhere, does it feel like it does to you? Does it feel too loose anywhere?" She asked me, while she circled me and touched the dress here and there in places. I shook my head while looking down at what must have been basically my whole chest on show; I looked up at Alice with a frown.

"Don't you think there's a little too much cleavage going on?" I asked nervously. Alice shook her head immediately and put her hands on her hips.

"No definitely not Bella, it is honest to God perfect for you." She beamed at me while putting her hands on my shoulders, gave them a squeeze then turned around to look for somebody.

"Heidi come and take a look at Bella," Alice practically shouted to get Heidi's attention. Heidi is the person responsible for everything that's going to happen backstage tonight. She's a gorgeous brunette who went to college with Alice to study fashion and merchandise. Although you'd think that she was a model herself by looking at her.

"Oh my God! Bella you look absolutely amazing! I'm really jealous right now," I blushed at her words, as I wasn't used to getting complements from people that I didn't know or weren't family.

"Honestly Bella you really do look stunning. Oh this whole show is going to be amazing I'm so excited," Alice said excitedly. I smiled at her. She'd being planning this for a while so I'm glad that its all coming together for her.

"Okay its time for you to go to hair and make-up, the show will start at precisely 7:30pm, and its six now so chop, chop as I also have to get ready. Right you've gone through your walk through right?" Alice suddenly asked, turning back to me.

"Yes I did that about an hour ago," I told her, she nodded placed her hand on my arm again, gave a slight squeeze than walked away, calling for someone as she did so. I shook my head and turned back to look at myself in the mirror. I ran my hands over the smooth material and smiled again. It was kind of bitter sweet as God knows when I'll ever get to wear something so beautiful again.

*RL*

Fuck!

I can't do this.

I can't go out there in front of God knows how many people in basically underwear!

Jesus my brother was out there for Gods sake and I sure as hell know that he won't want to see me dressed like this! He'll probably flip out and demand that I change.

Alice had been kind enough to invite my brother and almost sister-in-law Rose so that I would have somebody that I know there and I was extremely thankful that she did that for me. My mum and dad couldn't make it so it was very much appreciated. I already know Rose was a little anxious, with her been pregnant and all that, but Emmett just told her to enjoy it as it's not like they have long left until they have two children under the age of three.

Anyway don't get me wrong the outfit is gorgeous bus it's just a body suit really. It's like a corset but with knickers attached to it. So it's basically an all in on playsuit suit but a very, very sexy playsuit. Closing my eyes I took a couple of deep breaths to clam my nerves as I waited in line for the show to start. Plus I'm pretty sure that I saw Kristen Stewart wear this in Vanity Fair magazine photo shoot.

My emotions were all over the place and my nerves were practically shot, but I wanted to do this for Alice. I really didn't want to let her down as she's really wanted me to do this. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I heard Holly Willoughby start the show off by giving a little introduction first, and then not before long the music started, to basically say that show was starting.

I just fucking hope and pray that my clumsy arse doesn't fall flat on my face in these fucking death traps called shoes, that I was currently wearing.

God if you are listening, please, please, please don't let me fall, just this once please don't let me make a fool of myself.

I shook my head and my hands a little too hopefully sake the nerves off.

"Okay girls, its time, smile, have fun that's all this is fun, just enjoy yourselves, sand away we go!" Heidi shouted cheerfully, some girls cheered with her while others just smiled and nodded. All the girls looked beautiful in what they were wearing and a few others were wearing something similar to me, but my was the most revealing.

The line was starting to get smaller and smaller and my time was fast approaching, my palms started to sweat and I took a step back rather than a step forward. Heidi saw me hesitate and walked over to me.

"Bella you're going to be fine okay? Just walk out like own the joint and strut your way down that catwalk like you're a million bucks, and put your hands on your hips like this," she showed me, "…if you don't know what to do with your hands. It's the best place for them, okay? Now go…" She gave me a little push of encouragement and this was it, the time I'm probably going to make a fool of myself.

Closing my eyes I walked out.

I did what she said and put my hands on my hips and hopefully like she said, I was strutting, I have no fucking idea, and my adrenaline was running like crazy. I got to the end of the catwalk and posed for three seconds then turned and walked back like we was told to during the walk though.

I sigh in relief when I made it back, back stage, but then I was grabbed by a runner and was practically stripped from my outfit and put into my gown. It all happened so fast that I swear I nearly lost my head. The make-up team retouched my make-up and mused with my hair then sent me back in line to wait my turn. I didn't have to wait as long this time, I quickly looked down to make sure that I wasn't have a wardrobe malfunction, nodded to myself when I saw that everything was were it should be, I walked out again when I was instructed to.

This time I savoured it and looked around at the audience, I saw Emmett and Rose and they clapped when I came out, I smiled at them. I got to the end of the catwalk again and I looked to my left and saw that that's where most of the Royal family were sitting, I noticed Alice and she was smiling at me I nodded in her direction then turned my head and saw King Edward. I smiled at him as he was smiling that perfect crooked smile at me, I looked down as I felt my cheeks start to heat, turned and made my way back, but I couldn't help but look back at him and he was looking directly at me, I blushed and made my way off the catwalk.

I hope I saw him later as it wouldn't make my whole week.

All I can say is that King Edward is perfect in every way and if I wear ever lucky enough I would really love to get to know him, and not King Edward, but Edward. I know that that will never happen.

But can always dream though can't I?

A/N:

So sorry that I haven't updated in such a LONG time and I know that this is a repost but I read it back and there were a lot of mistakes because I rushed it.

So I've changed it up in come places to help it make sense and smooth it out a little bit as well as give it more info here and there.

I would also like to say that is might MIGHT be the only Bella chapter there is as its hard to get into this Bella's head, whereas Edward is easier, so back to Edward's point of view next time.

Please, please, please review, even if you already had, they honestly do make me smile. I can't reply to all your reviews even though I really wish that I could as I'm still having to come to library to update.

I don't know when I'm going to update next hopefully it will be soon, but real life gets in the way a lot so I hope I can get back to a normal posting schedule soon.

Follow me on twitter MsAliciaSwan ask me questions and you might get answers if they don't give the plot away.
