Not Mine. I always seem to forget to mention my amazing spell checker The Cullen Ninja. Thank you!

My mother turned to face me, giving the two sisters a weird look.

"Bella what are they talking about?" She asked, quirking her eyebrow at me. I knew my mother would ask, but how could I tell her the truth? 'Oh yeah, Mom, we bet that whoever touched their lovers first lost for the whole gender, and the boys won because I almost fell off a cliff, but Edward, using his super vampire speed and strength, saved me.' Yeah I could definitely see how well that would go over.

"Well Renne, we were playing cards boys against girls." Alice started, coming to my rescue. I threw her a grateful look before continuing with the story.

"And the girls lost, so now the boys tell us what to do, but it ends tomorrow. So since Emmett and Jasper were being...mean to Alice and Rosalie, we plan on getting them back." That was the very strained truth, but the truth was in there. My mom's eyes widened in understanding.

"So what are your plans. I can help." We all grinned at each other before huddling in a group and started to discuss the boys demise.

"We could throw away their Playstation," I suggested. Rosalie nodded in agreement but Alice shook her head, notifying us that it
wouldn't turn out good.

"Hide all their favorite food. You know how hungry males can get." My mother said. We all bit back our laughter, Rosalie was the first to compose herself and answer. I know it wasn't my moms fault but still, she couldn't have said anything funnier.

"Renne they would just...chase it down." Rosalie said her voice faltering from laughter in the middle. My mother face fell.

"Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was a good idea." I could tell that she felt bad for suggesting it.

"It was, it was. It's just the boys will do anything to get their food back." Alice amended quickly. I smiled at her thankful that I had two soon-to-be sisters like Alice and Rosalie. I definitely wouldn't trade them for the world.

"Eureka, I've got it!" I said, surprised at my own cunning as an idea came to me. It was a brilliant idea; perfect and stealth, and they would never see it coming. Well, Edward would but we'd bribe him not to tell.

"That's brilliant Bella!" Alice squealed excitedly not thinking about my mother being in the room.

"What's brilliant?" My mother and Rosalie asked at the same time. Alice and I turned to each other, smiled and launched into our idea. It took us ten minutes to finalize our plans of action and thirty minutes to put the whole thing together.

"Bella." Rosalie said and she walked over and hugged me. "You are a genius. Edward is definitely holding you back." She said, and I felt my heart lift and her compliment. Over the past couple of days Rosalie and I had bonded over one common goal: to divide and conquer that which was the loves of our lives. I never thought I would bond with her so well, but stranger things have happened
when a group was trying to win.

"Thanks Rosalie. And Edward will be holding me back." I said with a wink, before I yawned. Right on cue Alice skipped into the room.

"Time for bed, we have a long day tomorrow. I need to do your hair, make-up, put on your dress, fix the decorations, set up the chairs and the flowers, set up the reception in the livening room and I need to be on time to laugh at Jasper. So you go get Renne and head off to bed so Rosalie and I can easily get everything done." I smiled at her little speech and walked out of the room kissing her on the head before leaving.

"Thanks for everything you've done for me Alice, it means a lot." I said before going to fetch my mother. I found my mother sitting in Edward's room on the black leather couch staring at his collection of CD's

"How does he have these ordered?" My mother asked me as she heard me walk in. I remember asking that same question to Edward, oh so long ago, but still remembering the answer.

"He orders them by year, then by personal preference within that time frame." I answered remembering the first day I saw his room and the first day I saw his house.

"He has some collection. This would have took decades to make." I laughed unable to hold it back, if only my mother knew.

"His father helped him collected it and the collection was given to Edward when he died." I frowned slightly at my answer. When had I gotten so good at lying? I went over and sat by my mother watching her as she finished surveying his room.

"This is a lovely room, actually this whole house is lovely." She said. "Esme designed it." I answered, smiling at my mother. She smiled back and we sat in silence for awhile.

"You really love him don't you?" My mother suddenly asked out of the blue.

"More than you could even comprehend." I answered without hesitation.

"Well then, I'm happy for you. I'm just glad your not getting married because your pregnant...you're not pregnant are you?" I nearly chocked from the half strangled cough that came out of my mouth.

"No mom I'm not pregnant." I managed to answer.

"Good. A child at your age wouldn't be the best." She told me matter-of-factly. "Not that you ruined my life, I love you, but it still makes life harder." I stared in horror at her. Was she under the illusion that I was marrying Edward because I was pregnant? No wonder she wasn't too thrilled to hear the news.

"Mom, I'm not pregnant and I don't plan on having children...soon." I threw in the soon for her benefit. I was about to tell her I wouldnever have children.

"Well it's good to know." I did not want to get into another sex conversation like I did with my dad so I hastily changed the subject.

"So how are you liking being back in Forks?" I asked, hoping she would forget about anything else she was going to ask.

"It's a mix of feelings." She answered, I nodded, knowing how she felt. I didn't want to come to Forks, but it grew on me.

"Well I'm heading to bed Mom. I'll see you in the morning." I was going to sleep in Alice's room.

"Yes you should, you're getting married tomorrow you need your rest." I smiled at her as she hugged me, letting me go so I could get ready for bed. I was absolutely positive tomorrow was going to be the best day of my life and even possibly my existence. When I entered Alice's room, Alice wasn't the one laying on her bed. I stared dumbfounded at Edward as he lay, perfectly at ease on Alice's king sized bed.

"Edward, you shouldn't be here. I'm surprised Alice hasn't kicked you out yet." I said as my feet carried me towards him. I watched the beautiful creature infront of me open his arms and I gladly lay in them.

"She was going to kick me out, but I got her to let me stay untill sunrise." I felt his breath on my neck as he moved my hair aside, placing delicate kisses along my shoulders.

"Really?" I said in a breathless tone. "How did you manage that?" My brain was going hay wire as I felt his cold lips on my skin. I knew he could hear my heart beat hyperactivly in my chest. I felt him smile as he kissed my neck and shoulders.

"I promised I wouldn't tell Jasper and Emmett about your little plan. I wouldn't have anyways, its such a wonderful way to end a wedding reception." I couldn't fight the smile that came across my lips. I squirmed in his arms and tunred to face him kissing along his jaw line.

"I knew you would appreciate my idea." I said in between kisses. He smiled crookedly at me.

"I always knew there was more to you than meets the eye. Now go to sleep my Bella, you have a busy day tomorrow you have to deal with Alice." I nodded agreeing with him and fell asleep in his arms as he hummed my lullabye.
