Chapter 2
When we pulled into the garage at the Cullen's I asked Edward for his phone to call Renee before we went in to join his family….or in other words deal with Alice.
"Are you sure you want to call Renee tonight, we could wait until tomorrow, you look kind of worn out and tired."
"I am tired, you know the lack of sleep I got last night, but I need to do this before she finds out from anyone else." I said thinking of Charlie.
He handed me his phone and I dialed Renee, hoping she wouldn't pick up. Alas, no such luck, on the third ring Renee picked up the phone. "Hi mom," I waited as she told me of a few things in her life then asked what I needed. "Well….ummm….Edward and I have something to tell you, we're getting married." "What she screeched, you can't get married you're too young. You will be making a big mistake." "No mom this isn't a mistake, and I'm going to get married, if you want to come I can call you with the date, but otherwise I love you and hope that someday you'll be happy for me."
"Of course I'll be at your wedding, but I still think this a mistake. Do you need any help with the wedding?" "No mom, Alice is planning the wedding, but thank you for offering. I love you." "I love you to Isabella." "I love you to mom, and I'll call you with the wedding date I soon as we settle on one." I hung up the phone, handed it back to Edward, closed my eyes and sighed.
"Are you okay love?" Edward asked very quietly leaning over to kiss my neck. "Yes, I'm fine; I'm just very tired and emotionally drained." Edward got out of my truck and was around to my door lifting me out of the truck before I even noticed he was gone. He carried me into the house and set me down in the living room. Esme was there to give me a big hug and once again welcome me to the family. I thanked her and was then attacked by Alice. "Come on Bella, we need to go over some things for your wedding." I looked at Edward silently begging him to get me out of this tonight, all I wanted was to go upstairs and go to bed. " Alice," Edward began "I don't think Bella is up for this tonight, she had a really hard night and a long emotional day, I think she should just go to bed."
Alice looked at me and then said, "You're right Edward. Bella, you look like hell, go get some sleep and we'll do this tomorrow." I smiled gratefully and began to get up to go up to Edward's room and promptly sat back down losing my balance. Edward laughed and picked me up carrying me upstairs. I changed into my pj's and fell into bed.
"Goodnight my love." Edward said as he began to sing my lullaby. "Goodnight Edward" I murmured drifting off to sleep.
