A/N: Alright, I'm going to start off the girls' weekend, and I'll do the guys' trip next. Just for reference Bella is about 19 weeks pregnant right now (or 4 and ½ months) so her belly is getting pretty big with the two little ones in there =P
DISCLAIMER: This really shouldn't be necessary at this point, but I do not own Twilight; that's all S.M.

It took me awhile to get back to sleep without Edward there, but I eventually managed. I woke up about three hours later to someone bouncing gently on the bed. I opened one eye to see Alice sitting next to me on the bed, a large grin on her face.
"Oh, good! You're up! Go get in the shower and I'll lay out your clothes!" she kissed my cheek lightly and gave me a little nudge. I groaned at her and rolled slowly out of the bed. My back was a little stiff and I knew that it would only be worse after today's shopping excursion; it was a really good thing we had massages lined up for tomorrow.
I showered quickly and dried off, wrapping the towel around me before exiting the bathroom. I was wide awake by the time I pulled on the sundress Alice had set out for me. The dress was a dark green cotton, with a halter top; it had a bright yellow silk ribbon that ran just under my breasts and tied at my back, allowing the dress to hang over my new curves loosely. I slipped on the matching yellow flats that were sitting next to the bed and quickly piled my hair on top of my head in a messy bun.
I adjusted my bra as I made my way down the stairs, making a mental note to buy a larger size during our shopping trip; I guess that was one plus to being pregnant. The girls were sitting in the kitchen with Esme when I came in, and they all said good morning as Esme handed me a bowl of fruit and some toast. I listened to them talk about our plans for today while I ate my breakfast. Edward called when I finished my food, and I smiled widely before picking up my phone.
"Good morning, beautiful. Did you get enough sleep?" he asked sweetly.
"Yes, doctor," I teased him."It was nice until a little pixie showed up and practically shoved me into the shower," I laughed lightly.
"I'm sorry, love. I know she's a handful; you'll just have to get her back when she's pregnant with her first child," he laughed. "I just wanted to let you know we made it to Seattle. We are unloading the paint and supplies right now, so I need to go help everybody. But try to have fun today, and make sure you sit down to rest if you feel tired," he instructed me.
"I'll be fine, Edward. Your mom has already made me promise her that I will tell her as soon as I start to feel tired or hungry, or just have to pee, so stop worrying." I heard him sigh on the other end, then curse as there was a loud bang on his end.
"Okay, well make sure you let her help you. Please? For me?" he asked. I agreed and we said our 'I love yous' before he had to go to keep Emmett from hurting himself. I hung up my phone and headed out the front door. We all piled into Esme's Mercedes and started the drive to Port Angeles. We talked animatedly about our new homes and wedding plans, and the drive passed quickly.
We pulled up in front of a large mall, and Alice squealed in delight. I hauled myself out of the passenger seat and walked next to Esme, with Alice and Rose running ahead of us. The first stop we made was in a maternity store. Alice ran through the racks throwing armfuls of clothing at the poor salesgirl. When she had searched through every item in the store she pulled me into the dressing room and stripped me down, throwing on one outfit after another.
I modeled each outfit for Esme and Rose, earning quite a few catcalls and choruses of 'sexy mama' from my friends. We left the store with six bags of clothes, after Alice and Rose insisted on paying for all of it. We stopped in a few more clothing stores so the three of them could find a few outfits of their own, then we headed to a shoe store. Alice convinced me to buy twelve new pairs of shoes to match my new outfits, and I agreed on one condition: they all had to be flats. I was uncoordinated to begin with, but now that I was top-heavy and had trouble seeing my feet I was an accident waiting to happen. She agreed quickly and set out to find the perfect shoes.
We headed out of the store with quite a few more bags on each of our arms, and decided to take a break for lunch. We found a little sandwich shop in the food cart and settled into a booth. We ordered our food and ate quickly, eager to get back to shopping. After we were full and rested, we followed Esme to a couple home furnishing stores. She helped us all pick out kitchen and bathroom sets, as well as rugs, curtains, pillows, and quite a few other decorative items. We had a few of the salesboys follow us out to the car with all of our purchases, and we miraculously fit everything.
We drove back to Forks, tired and happy. Rose called in an order to an Italian restaurant in town, and we picked it up on the way home, then stopped at the video store to rent some chick flicks. Once we got back to the house we unloaded all of our packages, putting Rose and Alice's in their cars to save trouble later. They carried all of mine upstairs for me, claiming that I had had enough exercise for today.
We all dressed in our pajamas and met downstairs half an hour later, ready for a night in. Alice put in the first movie then went to help Rosalie put our take-out on plates. I helped Esme bring in a few extra blankets and pillows and we set up a pallet on the floor. The four of us settled down on the blankets with the food laid out in front of us.
We spent the rest of the night eating, laughing, and crying. Edward called around eleven to say a quick goodnight, and I fell asleep shortly afterward. Esme woke me up an hour later and we all made our way upstairs to bed. My eyes closed as soon as I hit the pillow, and barely remembered to slide under the blankets before I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning and sat up slowly in bed, stretching my arms out above me. There was a soft knock at the door and Rose poked her head in.
"Morning, Bells. Did you sleep well?" she came into the room and settled onto the bed next to me.
"Yeah, I did actually. I was exhausted after yesterday," we both laughed lightly. "How long do I have before we head to the spa?" I asked.
"You have about an hour, so you can take a shower if you like. Esme made salads for lunch, so just come to the kitchen when you're ready." I glanced at the clock and realized it was already noon. I thanked Rose and headed into the bathroom to get cleaned up. I showered quickly and got dressed in a white eyelet sundress and a pair of silver flip-flops, an outfit I had purchased yesterday. I left my hair down to dry and went downstairs to eat lunch. Everyone greeted me when I entered and I joined them at the table.
"Edward called this morning. He didn't want us to wake you, so he just asked us to let you know that he loves you and he will call you tonight when they are done for the evening," Alice said. I thanked her and pulled my phone out to send him a quick text message.
Good morning, handsome. Thank you for letting me sleep. They wore me out yesterday ;) - B
Of course, love. I'm glad you slept well3 – E
Don't work too hard today. I love you! - B
I'll try ;) I love you as well. I'll call you tonight, angel - E
I finished eating my lunch and went back upstairs to brush my teeth and gather my things. I met the girls downstairs and we jumped in the car and left excitedly for our day of pampering. The spa was only a short drive away, and we arrived quickly. It was absolutely beautiful, nestled into the hills. It had a woodsy feel to it, but was very soft and feminine.
We checked in at the front desk and were lead down the hall to a large room with several tables spread out. We had opted to have a group massage so we could all be in the same room; the woman asked us to remove our clothes and lie down under the sheet on the tables. We each chose a table and got comfortable, and the masseuses arrived a few minutes later. The massage was heavenly; I had pillows propped under me to take the pressure off my belly, and was so comfortable that I almost drifted off to sleep. It was over all too quickly, although we were in there for almost two hours.
We slipped into the thick terrycloth robes and slippers that the spa provided and were guided to the salon to get our nails done. We had our hands and feet buffed, scrubbed, massaged, and painted, and I was completely relaxed. We kept up a steady conversation throughout the process, enjoying every minute of it.
Alice surprised us all by having hair appointments set up as well. We each got a wash and trim, then had it styled to perfection. I left it simple, just having my hair styled into loose curls and pinned back on the sides. The day came to an end, and we pulled our clothes back on sadly, agreeing that we needed to make more trips back here in the coming months. We stopped for dinner before heading back home and having another movie night.
Edward called just before I went to bed. We talked for about half an hour, and he filled me in on all of the work they had done at the house. He promised to be home tomorrow afternoon and told me he loved me before we said goodnight. I drifted off to sleep quickly, willing the night to pass quickly. I had thoroughly enjoyed my weekend with the girls, but I was anxious to have my Edward back.
A/N: Aww, isn't that sweet? Lol the next chapter will be the guys trip to Seattle. Lemme know what you think!
