It had been a whole day without talking to Alice.

The clock read 12:01am, so that officially meant that I had spent a whole 10 hours without talking to Alice.

So maybe that isn't a whole day... But it felt like one... It felt like a year.

She and Jasper had gone hunting with Carlisle, they'd been gone for the whole 10 hours.

It never took that long to hunt, but apparently Carlisle had some important issues at the hospital and Alice and Jasper wanted to help.

At first I found that suspicious, but all Alice ever wanted to do was help... So I got over the fear of something else happening in about five minutes.

But still... 10 hours!?

Everyone else was playing with Renesmee, all trying to avoid me. I hadn't really spoken to anyone since I'd seen Alice.

Even Renesmee had come up to me and asked me what was wrong, she was refusing to sleep until I settled down.

I don't know what I was more worried about, Edward finding out from Alice's thoughts, or, Everyone finding out because I blurted it out.

"When are they coming back!" I tapped my hand nervously against the side of the couch. I always thought that I could handle myself, that I'd never have to suffer through being so obvious. But I had become as human as I used to be, I felt the nerves and the butterflies, the need to constantly move or do something... I swear I could even feel warmth in my cheeks, of course that was just my mind, but still... How come everyone else can keep a level head around here?

"Soon Bella honey, are you alright?" Esme looked at me with such worrying eyes, it made me wish that I hadn't said anything.

"Okay, thanks for asking, but really... I am fine" I forced my hand to stop tapping, and smiled slightly. I never knew how hard it could be to force a smile.

I heard running, about a kilometer away, I sprung up without even noticing.

"Bella...?" Edward asked, and I wished he hadn't "What is so important?"

"Nothing." I sat back down and tried to focus on the running sound. When they got to the door I felt like I was going to pass out from excitement... Or nerves... I never could tell the difference.

"Sorry we're so late" Carlisle spoke the words with so much emotion, that you would believe he was apologizing for the worst crime imaginable.

"Oh, never mind that" Esme got up and walked over to him, they continued on with their own conversation.

"Bella, you're very tense..." Ugh! Jasper and his concern!

"Everyone's saying that today" I eyed Alice carefully "I guess I'm just a little thirsty or something" I shrugged it off like I wasn't being eaten away by stupid love feelings.

"I'll take you hunting Bella" Edward pushed, he got up and offered his hand.

"Edward, I don't need anyone to help me hunt... Plus, you should be looking after Renesmee, and get her to sleep" I stood up, I felt guilty for being so rude to him, but I don't think I could actually stand any time alone with him.

Alice smiled "You know what, I'm actually still kind of thirsty... I only took down an elk before Carlisle got the call..."

"Well, I guess you should go with me? I mean, if you want to?" I know I looked obvious, I don't think I could have been any more obvious without getting down on my knees and begging.

"Bella, I think Renesmee would like you with her whilst she went to sleep.. Just come home and we'll go hunting in the morning" Why was Edward fighting this? But Renesmee nodded her head at the statement, and I couldn't ignore her needs.

"Oh... Alright..." Defeat. I lowered my head as if to surrender.

"Well we can just go later today" Alice winked "Go shopping and everything after... Girls day out?"

Edwards face twisted in what I could only imagine as confusion. Alice promised not to think of anything obvious, and if she were going to, she would think of something to take her mind of everything. Which I figured was why Edward was so confused, she should be thinking about shopping and hunting... Not whatever extravagant thing she was pondering now. I was a little relieved to know that we were both being a strange and obvious.

"Well... Alright then... Bella, lets go" Edward dragged me outside with Renesmee in his arms. "We need to talk... Now"
