Chapter 5

Flashback

Elizabeth's POV

I just finished picking some things up for Bella, Sarah, and Andy. I know she probably doesn't have much out here and I want to start spoiling her kids as soon as possible. I feel like I need to be there grandparents since they just lost the only grandparents they knew. I see these three things walking towards me. I call them things because their eyes are red. "Ahhh!" They start attacking me. One of the guys tells me to shut up. The woman asks me if I want to be a vampire like them. I tell her no and ask her why would I want to be a monster like her. Then everything goes black.

BPOV

We all head to the police department and I tell them about us going shopping and seeing my aunt in that alley. They take statements from all of us. Before we left the hotel we decided to rehearse what we were going to tell them. We knew we couldn't tell them everything but we knew we could still tell them the truth. That we were going shopping and Alice saw Elizabeth on the ground first and then Jasper saw that it was his mom. After they took our statements, Carlisle, Esme, and I get some papers to sign so that they can adopt Andy, Sarah, and me. After all of our papers are in order, we head back to Forks while Carlisle and Esme stay behind. We spend the day packing up all of our stuff and moving it into the Cullen's house. Around eleven-thirty the next morning, I hear Barbie Girl playing on my cell phone.

"Hey, Rory. What's up?"

"We're in Seattle right now."

"Who's we?"

"Mom, Luke, Jess, and me. Lane, Mrs. Kim, Sookie, Jackson, and Michel are trying to get out here."

"Wow. Why are Luke and Jess here with you? And what about your dad and Dean?"

"I broke up with Dean. Dad's ex-girlfriend, Sherry, is pregnant with Dad's kid. Luke had four tickets to Seattle for anytime this year, so he decided to let us use two of them and he would come with us and Jess would have to come to. Thankfully we were able to get on one today. I was really glad they were first class tickets too. So yeah, me and mom owe Luke big time. Anyway can you give us directions to Forks, we don't know how to get there?"

"Where are you guys?"

"Still at the airport."

"Hey Edward. Call your parents and ask them if they can meet Rory and some people from Stars Hollow at the airport."

"Hey mom, can you meet Rory and some of her friends at the airport today?"

"Who's with Rory?"

"Let me ask. Bella who's with her?"

"Rose talk to Rory for me. Edward I'll talk to your mom. Hey Esme, Rory is there with her mom, Luke, and Jess."

"Are you talking to them right now?"

"Yeah."

"Tell them we'll meet them there in twenty minutes. We're gonna head home after we meet them. Do you kids mind getting food ready for everybody? We'll have an early dinner. We should be getting there around four-thirty."

"Sure. See you later."

"Here Bella."

"Hey again. Esme and Carlisle are gonna meet you there in about twenty minutes. We'll see you when you get here."

"See you later."

"Ok everybody. We have four more people coming. We need to make lunch for everybody. How about we have some food and then finish moving everything. Then we can set up rooms for everybody that's coming from Stars Hollow."

"How many people are gonna be coming?"

"Today, we have Rory, Lorelai, who is Rory's mom for those who don't know, Luke and Jess, his nephew, coming in. Sometime this week before the funeral, we have Lane and her mom, Sookie, Jackson, and Michel coming in. I think that's it. Unless, Emily and Richard decide to come. They've been around Rory and everybody else a lot lately. They are now the only grandparents left from our old Stars Hollow group. Alice, what about your family?"

"Esme's parents died when Edward and I were about two years old. Carlisle's mom died around the same time. His dad died when Carlisle was really young. No one knows anything about the rest of Emmett's family."

"So Rory is the only one out of our group whose grandparents haven't died."

"Yeah. And she's got two of each. One set pretty much hates her mother and barely know Rory herself and don't really want to know her. At least the other two love Rory."

A few hours later we have everything set up and we start on dinner. We have Emmett and Jasper out back grilling steaks for everybody. I'm making my famous macaroni-and-cheese casserole, Alice is making mashed potatoes and her special gravy, Edward is making drinks for everybody, and Rose is setting the table and watching the twins sleep for me. "Alice can you taste this for me? I like to have someone other than myself taste test my food. I always think if I do it, that I'll be too biased."

"Mmm. This is really good Bella. Here try my gravy. Edward says I always go a little too heavy on the salt."

"This is wonderful Alice. Is that cinnamon in it?" I whisper the last part in case that's her secret ingredient.

"Yes with a dash of nutmeg." She whispers back. "What about your casserole? It has brown sugar, doesn't it?"

"Yeah. Two small handfuls sprinkled over the top and then mixed in."

"I like it. It gives it a unique flavor. How did you come up with the idea for it?"

"My mom was teaching me her recipe and I reached up to get something and knocked the container into the bowl and some cinnamon spilled out. I started to toss it out, but my mom tried a bite and said it was really good, so I tried it. Ever since then this is the only way I make my mac-and-cheese casserole."

We finish making dinner and put everything on the table and in the kitchen. "Oh no, Lorelai's birthday is today. Oh god, I completely forgot. We need to at least get her a cake or something." We hear Barbie Girl playing. Rose grabs my phone

"Hello?"

"Hey Rory. She's right here."

"Hey. Yeah I just remembered. Where are you guys? Good. Try stalling as long as possible. Call us when you're about to leave. Ok. You too. Bye."

"Ok. They are in Port Angeles. They had a small problem."

"What was the problem? Is everyone ok?" Edward asks.

"Everyone is fine, except Rory's not gonna be her normal self. I so shouldn't be laughing about this."

"I don't get it. Why shouldn't you be laughing about it?"

"Emmett, it's a women thing. But why today of all day's?"

"Oh. That's why you're laughing."

"Yeah. Poor Rory. Oh no, everybody I'm sorry if I act like a bitch this week. Rose you wanna come with me? We need to pick up cake, candles, what else? Alice do you wanna come with us or do you wanna stay with the guys and watch the twins?"

"I'll go with you two. Let's go."

We head to the store and get everything. We're waiting in line when Barbie Girl starts playing. "Hey Rory. We're at the grocery store. Ok see you there." We finish up and head home racing to make it there early enough to set everything up. "Ok everybody start setting things up out back. We have to be finished by the time they get here." We get everything set up with a few minutes to spare. We sit down in the living room and decide to see what's on tv.

"Guys they're here."

"Thanks Jasper." We decided someone needed to be a lookout and Jasper volunteered. "Is everything ready?" Everybody says yes. "Good." I open the door and we run out and help them bring everything in. Once everyone is settled in we call everyone down to dinner.

"Bella thanks for making your special casserole."

"Bella, you made this? It's amazing. If you don't mind me asking, what's in it?"

"Yeah. It's actually my twist on a family recipe. I can show you later how to make it. I normally don't share it with anybody, but since you're family I'll be happy to show you. Hey this will be the first time I get to teach someone how to make one of the family recipe's. It's normally passed down from mother to daughter, but now I can show you, Esme, and Alice, too, and Rose if she want's to know how." We finish eating and Carlisle and Esme offer to do the dishes. "First, we have a small surprise. If everyone will follow us out to the backyard." We go out and surprise Lorelai. We all eat some cake and end up having fun, playing games, and acting silly. We go inside and watch Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory before heading up to bed. I wake up at 3am and see that someone has Sarah out of her crib and is rocking her back to sleep. "Hey Bella. I was walking by your door and I heard someone crying. I came in here to check on you and the twins. It looked like you were having a nightmare and then Sarah started whimpering. She was looking at you and looked scared. I figured I would get her back to sleep and then check on you. Are you ok?"

"Yeah. Thank you for checking on us."

"You wanna talk about the dream?"

"It was really weird. In the dream I could see everything that was happening, but I wasn't seeing it through my own eyes. I was seeing everything through Aunt Elizabeth's eyes. She was asking me to run away. It wasn't safe for me to be there. I saw myself start to run away. Then I saw these three things coming towards Elizabeth. They attacked her and bit her. I saw them drinking her blood then everything faded to black and then I was seeing it happen through my own eyes all over again. After they started draining her one of them broke her neck. They continued drinking and then ran off after they had finished. They ran really fast. They looked like they were humans, but they looked different too. I knew that they weren't humans. They were too fast and too strong to be humans. It was so creepy. Then I saw three very beautiful women. I knew they were similar too the other three creatures. They saw me and started running towards me. They started talking to me. They said that what I saw was three vampires. Then those other three came back. They started fighting and the three women were getting hurt. That's when I woke up."

"That is really creepy. Do you wanna try to go back to sleep?"

"I don't know. I kinda want to know what happened but then I also don't want to know."

"How about we listen to some music and talk for a little while?"

"I don't have a radio or a CD player. And my iHome isn't working. My iPod is but I don't have any headphones with me right now."

"We can use my sound system."

"Ok." We go to his room and I press play on his CD player. "Clair de Lune?"

"How'd you know?"

"It's one of my favorites." We sit on his couch just talking about our favorites.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Green." I blush when I realized what I said.

"Why are you blushing?"

"I'm not telling you."

"Please?"

"It's the color of your eyes. What's your favorite color?"

"Brown because it's the color of your eyes."

I blush when he says that. "Thank you. You know we should probably try to go to sleep now. It's almost five."

"Ok."

"Will you stay with me? At least until I'm asleep. I'm still scared from that dream."

"Sure." We go back to my room and Edward starts to hum a song I haven't heard. "Edward, what is that song? It's really beautiful."

"It's a song I'm writing. I'm glad you think it's beautiful because the girl who inspired it is very beautiful."

"Wow. Who inspired it, if you don't mind me asking?"

"You inspired it. It's your lullaby."

"I'm not that beautiful."

"Yes you are. A lot of the guys were staring at you at the party. And I can usually read people very well. But I can't seem to figure you out. Every time I think I've figured you out somewhat you go and do something that totally surprises me."

"Let's go to sleep and we can talk some more later today. Night Edward. Sweet dreams."

"You too, Bella." I drift off to sleep and don't have anymore nightmares that night, but the three beautiful women appear to me once again. This time however Alice is with me. They tell us that they are part vampires, part succubae. They explain that my parents' death wasn't an accident. And that our mothers were very powerful witches but felt that splitting up would be for the best. We had gained their powers when we had turned thirteen. Alice had visions, Rose could move things with her mind, Rory could freeze things and blow things up, and I could shield us from others' mental powers. Rose could also change her friends' bodies and allow them to be pregnant even when they are vampires, but each female could only go through it three times. Jasper and Edward also had powers but theirs weren't as strong as ours were. Jasper would be able to sense and control emotions and Edward would be able to read peoples minds, but they wouldn't be able to control them that well until they became vampires. Alice asked them why their eyes were topaz and the other's had red eyes. They explained that they only drank animal blood. The others drank human blood. After that they explained their powers. Kate had the ability to shock anyone who touched her. Carmen could make you see things that weren't really there. Tanya could enter and partially control your dreams. After they explained all of this they said they would see us soon. They would bring their mates with them. We would have to tell our families what was going on. They said they would give us three days and that they would be there on the third day.

Edward's POV

I stayed awake watching this angel sleep for awhile. Around seven I get up and go downstairs to see if my mom is awake yet. "Hey mom. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure Edward."

"Do you think you could talk to Bella. I think she needs to know that she has a support system she can count on. And do you think you could help her with keeping custody of Andy and Sarah. She's really worried that Jacob will try to get custody of them."

"I'll see what I can do. Since both of them are minors, We should be able to keep custody of them. And since they are the result of rape and not even one year old it should be even easier to keep custody of them. Normally in situations like this the state allow the children to stay with their mother until they are at least three years old."

Alice's POV

I woke up from a very strange dream and ran to Bella's room. "Bella, did you have the same dream I just did?"

"Yeah. It was weird. Those three women were very beautiful. Who do you think we should tell first?"

"I think we should tell Rose, Jasper, Rory, and Edward first. Then we can tell Esme and Lorelai. I'll go get Jasper and Edward, if you'll get Rose and Rory."

"Ok. We'll meet up in my room. Edward was in here earlier he might be downstairs. I'll explain later."

"Ok."

I run and get Jasper out of bed and bring him back to Bella's room, then try to find Edward in his room but he isn't there so I run downstairs and find him there. I bring him back upstairs to Bella's room. Thankfully everyone else is already there. Bella and I tell the other's about our dream and then Bella tells everyone about her other dream.

"Ok. So what are we supposed to do now? I mean, are we gonna let them turn us? I wouldn't mind being turned. I would be even stronger than I am now and Rose and I would have even more stamina."

"Emmett, do you ever not think about sex?"

"Not really."

"Rory, there's something you should know about Emmett, there's no filter between his brain and his mouth. Believe me I've lived with him for years."

"Yeah, and I've been his girlfriend for a few years."

"I've only known him for a few days and even I know this."

"And I've been his sister for years and I've tried to help him, but nothing ever works so I've given up. And anyway it's part of his charm."

"What about you Jasper? Don't you think he lacks a filter?"

"Definitely. That's just part of who he is."

"So, who wants to be turned? I think we should make a decision before they get here. I wouldn't mind being turned. Who's with me?"

"Bella, since you're in, then I'm in."

"I'm with Emmett."

"Jazz, what do you think? You know I'll support you no matter what, but I think we should let them turn us."

"I agree with you Alice. You know that."

"Rory, what about you?"

"I don't know. All of you have your mates, but what if Jess doesn't want to be a vampire or what if he's not the one I'm meant to be with forever."

"Let me check your future, Rory. I need you to make the decision to become a vampire. My power is based on people's decisions." She makes that decision and I see her being very happy. I can't see who she's with, but I know Jess will be a vampire too. "If you choose to become a vampire you'll be very happy. Ok now I need you to make the decision to not become a vampire." She does and I see a lot of things going badly. I tell her this.

"Ok. I'm in. Who do we tell now?"

"Let's tell Jess first. Then we'll tell Esme, Carlisle, Lorelai, and Luke."

"Ok. Bella, what about Sarah and Andy? Should we tell Jacob?"

"No, we can't tell Jacob. He'll say we're delusional and use that to get custody of the twins. As for the twins, we'll deal with that later."

BPOV

We go downstairs and see that everyone else is down there. We get some breakfast and sit down and start talking. We start to tell everybody about the dreams. I'm in the middle of telling the dream Alice and I had, when I hear the twins crying on the baby monitor. "Alice can you finish telling it? I need to check on the twins. Edward, will you help me?"

"Sure."

Alice continues telling what happened and Edward follows me up the stairs. "Edward, thank you for helping me with the twins so much. I can take care of them on my own but it makes it so much easier having someone helping me."

"I don't mind at all Bella. I'm glad you trust me so much." I doesn't take long to get the twins to stop crying. We bring them downstairs in their car seats. "Sorry about that guys."

"Who are the two munchkins?"

"This is Sarah, and Edward has Andy. They're my kids, but Esme and Carlisle have adopted them, since they're my guardians. I can't legally adopt them yet since I'm only sixteen and my guardians aren't related to them by blood so the only way I would be able to stay with them is for my guardians to adopt them. I'm just glad I can stay with them." At this point Sarah starts to cry. I try getting her to calm down but she won't calm down. I leave the room so that we don't disrupt the discussion going on. I nearly have a heart attack when Edward comes up behind me and says, "Let me try something."

"Sure." He grabs her and starts rubbing her back. Within minutes she has calmed down. "Thank you."

"No problem. Would you want to do something today? Just the two of us?"

"I would love to. Who's gonna watch the twins though? And I still need to go shopping. How about we do something tonight? Or maybe tomorrow?"

"I'll make you dinner tonight. How does that sound? You and the girls can go shopping. The boys can stay here and take care of the twins. Wasn't that the plan anyway?"

"Yeah. Let's get the others. Do you think the boys would come with us for the first part?"

"I'll come with you ladies. Emmett and Jasper probably will too. The three of us are used to being dragged shopping by Alice and Rose. I don't know about Carlisle. He probably will if Esme goes. As for Luke and Jess, I don't think they will, but then again they might."

We go back in the living room and ask who wants to go shopping. Alice, Rose, Lorelai, Rory, and Esme say they're in. Emmett and Jasper quickly, but reluctantly agree. Carlisle says he has the day off and that he's in.

"Luke, will you come with us?"

"No." He practically growls at Lorelai.

"Please?" She gives him her puppy dog eyes.

"Fine, but I won't be happy."

"Jess?"

"You're not gonna take no for an answer are you?"

"Nope."

"Fine."

"Thank you."

"They are so whipped, aren't they?" I whisper to Alice.

"Yeah they are. But then again so are our guys. Edward included."

"Huh?"

"Bella, you have got that boy wrapped around your finger. Everybody can see it."

"Really? Well that's good, right? I mean I know he's got me basically wrapped around his finger." We both start laughing really hard at this point.

"What are you ladies laughing at?" Edward says in that velvety voice of his.

"Nothing." Rose just looks at us and starts laughing too. "Rose gets it though, right?"

"Yep." She says popping the 'p'

"They're laughing at us guys, Edward. I don't know why but I'm pretty sure it's us they're laughing at."

"Jasper's right." I squeak out in between laughs.

"Why are you laughing at us?"

"We're not telling you."

"Please?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Why should we?"

"Because we're going shopping with you."

"Fine we were laughing because we realized how whipped all of you are. And then I realized we're the same way."

"That is kinda funny."

"Let's go ahead and get ready. Rose, Alice can you two come with me? And can one of you grab Andy for me?"

"I got him."

"Thanks Rose."

We take the twins upstairs and get them ready. After they're ready and their things are packed for the day. We get ourselves ready. "Rose do you have something I can wear with these pants? None of my clean shirts will go with them?"

"Oh I've got the perfect thing, Bella."

"Are you sure it'll fit me Alice? You are a bit smaller than me."

"That's the beauty of a wraparound sleeveless shirt."

"You are absolutely brilliant. Wow. I've got the perfect jacket to wear over it."

"Good. Now that that's done, are we ready, ladies?"

"Yep."

"You betcha."

"Let's go."

"Who's riding together? Are we all taking our cars? We have Carlisle's Escalade, Esme's Mercedes, Jasper's Mustang, Alice's Porsche, my Audi, Emmett's Jeep, Edward's Volvo, and Rose's BMW. Eight cars, how many people? We have Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rose, Rory, Jess, Luke, Lorelai, Andy, Sarah, Edward, and me. Fourteen people. Whoever rides with me has to put up with the twins."

"Bella, you and the twins can ride with me."

"Alice, are you and Jasper gonna take the Porsche or the Mustang?"

"Mustang. It's bigger."

"Rory, Jess you guys can ride with me and Rose."

"Carlisle, Esme, Luke, and Lorelai, why don't you guys take Carlisle's car?"

"Let's go." We load up and head out. I call Alice. "Where are we going anyway?"

"Do we wanna go to Port Angeles? Or Tacoma? I don't think any of us really want to go to Seattle right now."

"I definitely don't want to go to Seattle. Edward doesn't either. What about you and Jasper?"

"Heck no."

"Ok. So which place would be better. I'm getting pretty much a whole new wardrobe. The twins need a lot of things too. Port Angeles doesn't have as many choices as Tacoma. I vote for Tacoma. Jasper says yes to that."

"What about you and Edward?"

"I say Tacoma. Edward, Tacoma or Port Angeles?"

"Tacoma."

"Edward says the same. I'll call Rose and see what the four of them say. You wanna call Esme?"

"Sure. Talk to you later."

I call Rose. "Hey Rose. Do you guys wanna go to Port Angeles or Tacoma?"

"Tacoma for me. Emmett says he agrees. Hold on let me ask Rory and Jess. Hey you two, Tacoma or Port Angeles?"

"Whichever has more choice."

"Whatever Rory wants."

"Two more for Tacoma then."

"Ok. That's eight for Tacoma. Alice is talking to the parents. I'll call you back and let you know what they say."

"Talk to you later."

"Yeah."

I wait a few more minutes and then call Alice. "Hey. What's the vote from the parents?"

"They don't care."

"Ok. Well it looks like we're going to Tacoma. The other four said Tacoma, so that's eight votes for Tacoma, four who don't care either way, and two who can't vote."

"Let's call the others and let them know."

We call the others. After talking to them, Edward asks, "Do you want to continue our discussion from this morning?"

"Sure. I'll go first though. What's your favorite food?"

"Your macaroni-and-cheese casserole. Before I tried that though, it would've been your chocolate chip pancakes. Before that it was Alice's pancakes. What's yours?"

"Wow. I'd have to say, your scrambled eggs. You made them just the way I like my eggs. Before that, probably my macaroni-and-cheese casserole."

"I'm glad your favorite food is something I made."

"Ok. What's your favorite song?"

"Either Clair de Lune or Damage by Plumb. What about you?"

"Same here. And my lullaby that you wrote. It's really beautiful. Most guys probably wouldn't be willing to admit that those are his two favorite songs. I'm glad you were honest with me. If you don't want to answer this next question you don't have to. What would be the most important quality for your girlfriend to have?"

"It would probably be honesty. That's why I haven't had many girlfriend's. What about your boyfriend?"

"Honesty and someone I can trust. That's why I haven't had many boyfriends. My only ex-boyfriend is Jacob. How many ex-girlfriends do you have?"

"One. Her name is Jenny. She cheated on me and that's why I broke up with her."

"I'm not sure whose ex is worse. Mine raped me and yours cheated on you. Both of those are the ultimate betrayals. They're both a betrayal of trust."

"I think what Jacob did was worse, than what Jenny did. But then again that might just be the gentleman in me. And no one should hurt an angel."

"You're right. No one should hurt an angel. But people do hurt angels. You're an example of that."

"Me? That's funny. I'm no angel. You are an angel. Hopefully you'll be my angel." He whispered the last part so I didn't know if he meant for me to hear it.

"What did you mean when you said hopefully I'll be your angel?"

"I-I…You weren't supposed to hear that."

"Oh. Well, if you want me to be yours, all you have to do is ask. You've already got my heart."

"Bella, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"I would love to be your girlfriend. I love you too, Edward." He gives me that crooked grin that I love so much. It makes my heart pound so hard that I wonder if he can hear it. "Are we almost there?"

"We'll be there in Tacoma in about two minutes, and we'll be at the mall in less than ten minutes."

"Ok. I can wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Well for one I want to kiss my new boyfriend and for another the twins need to be fed in about fifteen minutes."

"For the first one, there's an intersection and stop lights in about one minute. And for the second we've now got about seven minutes until we get to the mall." There's that crooked grin I love. We stop at the red light. I lean over and give him a quick kiss because almost as soon as our lips touch we hear a honk from behind us. He has really soft lips. "Ok. Once we get to the mall, we can have a slightly longer one. Hopefully that one won't be interrupted." We get to the mall and Edward parks. He comes around to my side and opens the door for me. I step out and he grabs me and pulls me close to him. Our lips touch and it's such a gentle and sweet kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist. But we are once again interrupted. This time by Emmett yelling, "Woohoo! Is that what you two were doing at that stop light? I couldn't exactly see inside the car, but you weren't moving so I honked the horn."

"Emmett, shut up!"

"Sorry, Bella. I really am. It's just, I normally don't get to tease my brother about his girlfriend. So I decided to use this opportunity."

"Fine. I know you won't completely stop but please keep the comments to a minimum."

"Come on Bella. Please? I'm sure you have more experience being tease about your boyfriends and PDA."

"Actually no I don't. I've only had one other boyfriend before Edward."

"Wow. But you've still got more experience than him."

"Emmett, please don't say it like that. Edward had a choice in how far he went. I didn't."

"Sorry, sis. You don't mind me calling you that do you? I mean technically speaking you are family. Please forgive me?"

"Actually I kinda like it. And hey if anybody tries to mess with me, I can just tell them I have a very big, very protective older brother. And yes you're forgiven."

"Thanks, little sis."

"You're welcome, brother bear." We all start laughing at this. Including Alice and Jasper who have joined us.

"Why did Emmett honk his horn at that stop light?"

"Because Bella and I weren't going because we were kissing, but it wasn't a very long one, because Emmett was impatient. Actually he interrupted both of our kisses."

"Jeez, Emmett. I hope you didn't see anything you haven't seen before. Oh wait that's kinda impossible considering it's you we're talking about."

"Alice, don't talk about my boyfriend like that. I could probably say the same thing about you and Jasper. Just out of curiosity, Who in the group is still a virgin?"

"Obviously the twins."

"I am." Edward says.

"Ditto, for me and Jess."

"We know the parents aren't. Emmett and Rosalie definitely aren't. I'm not either, but then again I am in the parents category. Jasper, Alice what about you two?"

"Not virgins." Alice whispers. At this point we see the parents headed towards us.

"Who's ready to go shopping?"

"You guys go ahead I need to sit down and feed the twins."

"Bella, if you want, Carlisle and I can feed the twins."

"Are you sure? I don't mind. I'm used to having to do this on every trip to the mall. I almost always try to make it so that I get to the mall close to one of their feeding times. It's easier that way."

"How about we'll feed them this time and the next time they need to be fed you and Edward can feed them?"

"Sure. Do you just want to call us when they're done and we'll let you know where we are?"

"Sure."

We all start heading off. Alice, Rose, Rory, and I drag our boys off to Macy's first. We have them hold some of our clothes. We head into the dressing room and start trying things on and have them sit in the chairs the store put in there. "Hey ladies, can you check out this outfit? I can't tell if it looks good or not."

"The shirt looks good on you, Bella, but the pants make your butt look bigger than it is."

"Rose is definitely right."

"The shirt fits you just right, but Rose and Alice are right about the pants."

"That's what I was thinking, but you know how dressing room mirrors are. Cute skirt by the way, Alice."

"Thanks. What about the shirt? I think it makes my stomach look poochy."

"Uh-huh. It so doesn't flatter you Alice."

"Yeah, Bella's right."

"What about this outfit, ladies?"

"Damn Rory, that looks totally hot on you." Alice says.

I just let out a whistle.

"If I was into girls, I would definitely flirt with you in that outfit."

"You look good too Rose."

"Definitely."

"Uh-huh."

We all go back in and try on new outfits. We all come out and I ask the girls what they think.

"Bella you are definitely a hot mama in that outfit."

Alice just starts fanning herself and Rory shakes her head and says, "You definitely look like one hot mama. But I look horrible in this outfit don't I?"

We all agree with her. Rose's outfit gets thumbs up from all of us. Alice gets thumbs up for her top, but thumbs down for her pants. We continue like this for a while and I'm in the middle of changing when my phone rings. I try to pick it up but end up falling over and hitting my head on the door. "Edward, can you answer this for me?" I hand my phone to him under the door.

"Hey mom. Bella fell while trying to answer the phone. We're in Macy's. see you in a few minutes." While he's talking I change back into my clothes. He slides my phone under the door. "Here you go, love."

I open the door and walk over to Edward. "Thank you, sweetie. My head hurts." He grabs me and sits me on his lap. I put my head on his shoulder. Alice comes out first. She sees us and goes, "Aw you two look so cute."

"Thanks Alice. I hit my head on the door while trying to open my phone."

"That's what the noise was? We should have Dad check you out when he gets here."

Rose walks out having heard everything since she was in the room right beside me. "Bella, are you ok?"

"No. I don't feel good."

"Bella, here comes Dad."

"Dad, I hit my head on the door. It really hurts."

"Esme told me that Edward answered your phone and said that you had hit your head on the door. What happened exactly?"

"I was in the middle of changing and went to grab my phone. I tripped and fell into the door."

"Where on your head did you hit the door? And where does it hurt?"

"I hit it on the right side towards the front. It hurts where I actually hit the door."

"Well you seem to be ok. Are you dizzy at all?"

"I don't think so. Let me try to stand up." I stand up. "I don't feel dizzy right now, but my head still hurts. It's not a strong pain, but it doesn't feel good either."

"Alright we'll monitor it for a little while. If your head doesn't feel better in half an hour, I'll take you to the hospital and have them check you out. If the pain gets any worse or if you start to get dizzy, let me know right away."

"Ok Dad. Thanks. Is anybody else hungry?"

"Yeah, let's grab some lunch. That way Bella can rest for a little while, and we can all stay together and close to the cars."

"Thanks Mom. And thank you for taking care of the twins. It gave me time to get a few outfits." We pay for our clothes and then head back to the food court. We sit and eat some lunch. After we finish eating Carlisle asks, "Bella, how are you feeling?"

"I feel a little better. It still hurts but only a little. Hopefully having some food in me will help." We take our bags out to the car. After that we stick together and get some stuff for the twins. After we get their stuff the girls decide to go look at some make-up. The guys tell us they're going to the sporting goods store and will meet us in about half an hour. We find enough make-up for each of us and get it. We then head to the sports store to find the guys. We find them and they buy what they want to get. We take our stuff back to the cars. "Did we forget anything?"

"We need to go back and get shoes." So we head back in. We get to a shoe store. The guys sit on the benches in front of the store. All of us girls try on some shoes and find a few pairs for each of us. After we buy them, we all head to the cars and go home. We get home and decide to watch some movies and order pizza. I end up falling asleep on Edward's lap after one slice of pizza about forty-five minutes into the movie. When I wake up, I notice that the parents are gone and we have another movie playing. I also notice Alice and Jasper are curled up together on the loveseat asleep, and Rose and Emmett have fallen asleep on one of the couches. Rory and Jess are asleep in one of the chairs. And Edward and I have claimed the other couch. He looks so sweet and like an angel like this. I try to adjust myself without waking Edward up, but I'm unsuccessful. "Hey. Sorry for waking you up."

"I don't mind being woken up by you. Mom and Dad took the twins upstairs earlier for us."

"Oh good. Are you planning on keeping me here all night or are we gonna go to bed?"

"I really don't want to move. And I'm not planning on letting you go anytime soon."

"Ok. And I'm happy that you're not planning on letting me go anytime soon. But is this couch really that comfy or are you just too tired to go upstairs?"

"A little bit of both." We both laugh at that.

"Hey Bella, I'm going up to bed."

"Me too."

"Night Rory. Night Jess."

They go upstairs. I wiggle around a little, trying to get comfy again, when Edward grabs my waist and groans, "Bella please stop moving like that." I look down and see that he can see down my shirt and we're in a very interesting and possibly compromising position and start laughing.

"Are you enjoying the view, Edward?"

"You're a little minx. You know that, right?"

"I'm sorry sweetie. Forgive me?" I say looking at him very innocently.

"Of course. We should go to bed. As comfy as I am right here, we will both be sore in the morning if we sleep here."

"Ok. Should we wake the others up?"

"I'll wake Emmett up, if you'll wake Jasper up."

I walk over to Jasper and Alice and shake Jasper, "Hey Jazz, wake up."

"Bella, why are you waking me up?"

"You and Alice fell asleep on the loveseat. See you in the morning."

"Night Bella." Jasper carries Alice up the stairs and to their bedroom.

I notice Emmett following them up the stairs carrying Rosalie.

"Do you wanna sleep in my room tonight?" I ask Edward.

"Yes." We go up to my room and stay up talking for a while until we both fall asleep.

A/N: I know that's not a great stopping point, but if I didn't cut it off here the chapter would probably be more than thirty pages long. I know some of those powers aren't the ones they have in the books, but I wanted to change some of those.
