Bella Swan

The morning after my dinner with Edward, I was awoken to the sound of someone pounding on my bedroom door. I groaned and threw my pillow at the wood, hating being woken up earlier than I had wanted.

"Who is it?" I bellowed in a sleepy voice.

I heard a female laugh on the other side of the door. "It's Rose, sleepy head. Get you ass out of bed! You're going shopping with Alice and me!" I frowned. She knew I hated shopping; there was no way I was going to allow this.

I clumsily climbed out of my bed and pulled the door open to see a dressed and made up Rose standing on the other side studying me and trying not to laugh at my appearance. I rolled my eyes at her; it was morning, what did she expect me to look like? A rock star? Not everyone could look like Rosalie Hale in the morning.

"Rosalie, I will not go shopping with you and Alice," I stated, crossing my arms over my T-shirt and trying to look cold. Obviously my body had a mind of its own, because I yawn, breaking my cold stare on my brother's girlfriend and ruining the illusion of bitch.

Rose chuckled and I scowled. "Please, Bella, I don't want to go by myself."

"You'll be with Alice. Last time I checked that didn't mean you were by yourself."

She rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean. I don't want to go without my best friend. I don't know Alice well, and what if she goes psycho since Jasper won't be there? She could be totally different and I want my safety net. You would ask me if the roles were reversed." She shot me her puppy dog eyes that pretty much got her anything she wanted.

"Can't you bring Emmett?" I asked as I looked away from her heartbreaking face. I was already breaking and she knew it.

"Hell no, Emmett hates shopping more then you do and Alice wanted to have girl time," Rose replied.

"Girl time?" I asked with a raised brow. Since when did Rose call hanging out 'girl time'?

She rolled her eyes at me. "That what Alice called it. I was just quoting her."

I nodded. "So, what time will this 'girl time' be occurring and how long will I have to endure it?" I inquired in a soft, defeated voice. Rose had won and she knew it.

"In an hour. Alice said she wanted to get to the mall when it opened," she said with a laugh, I joined in too. "We will probably be there for a few hours. Maybe do lunch or something."

I ran my hands through my hair and nodded. "Alright, I'll get ready, but you owe me," I said, narrowing my eyes at my blonde friend/future sister-in-law.

Rose grinned and left me to get ready. As I showered, I thought about the night before at Edward's place. It had been such a good time; I only wished that Lucy could've been there. I missed her so much.

After dressing, I grabbed my phone and sent a text message to Mike asking how my little girl was. Hopefully he would respond soon and relieve my worry.

As I was about to put my phone down on my nightstand to finish getting ready, I scanned my contacts and found Edward's name. I bit my lip before deciding to send him a message.

Edward, I had a great time yesterday. We will have to do it again soon with Lucy. Next time, I'll cook! ~Bella

I read my message over a few times before finally deciding to send it.

I came downstairs just in time. Rose had her car keys in her hands and was standing by the door. Apparently I was late or something.

"We are going to be late," Rosalie announced, confirming my suspicion.

I shrugged. "Sorry. Isn't it good to be fashionably late anyway?"

Rose chuckled. "Not in your case. A t-shirt, sweatshirt and jeans wouldn't be what I would call fashionable, Bella. Especially since you're wearing Converse."

I shot her a glare before bidding my brother, who was watching some football game on TV and hopped into Rose's car.

Alice was waiting by the main entrance of the mall when we arrived. She was, of course, dressed impeccably in a nice long sleeved purple top with ruffles, a gray skirt and tights, and matching purple heels. She was also decked out in what appeared to be a set of real diamond jewelry. She practically glittered.

"Hey ladies!" she greeted us in her high voice that if used correctly, could break glass.

I smiled. "Hey Alice, how are you?" I asked pleasantly. It didn't escape my notice that as I talked, she was looking over my outfit. I looked like a homeless person compared to her, but I just didn't care about what I wore. I was a mom, not a fashionista.

"I'm great, you?" she asked, still studying my outfit. Thankfully, Rose broke her from her fashion judging by greeting her.

"I like your outfit, Rose," Alice complemented, brushing her fingers over the brown leather jacket my blonde friend was wearing. She also had on a mauve beaded tank top that fit her like a dream, distressed jeans with brown rounded pumps and the ring my brother got her last Christmas.

Alice and Rose talked as we walked into the mall. I pretty much zoned out the entire conversation until Alice asked me a question.

"Wait, what?" I asked sounding utterly confused and probably stupid.

Alice chuckled. "I asked you how it was hanging out with my cousin last night. Rose told me all about it. She said you came home with stars in your eyes," Alice repeated with a girlish giggle.

I rolled my eyes. I hadn't even said anything to Rose about the previous night and here she was making up shit like constellations in my eyes. Seriously, right when I got home, I told her and Emmett goodnight and went upstairs to bed. Yeah, I had a great time, but I wouldn't have said anything about stars.

"Rose doesn't know what she's talking about," I mumbled in response, putting my hands in my sweatshirt pocket as the girls began chatting again.

My phone went off when we got inside Nordstrom's. I scrambled to get it out of my bag to see that I had a new text from Mike's phone.

Hey Bella. Lucy is fine. I will have her call you later tonight. See you tomorrow – Mike

I sighed as I put my phone back into my purse. It seemed like forever away until tomorrow. I missed my little girl.

"Who was that?" Rose asked. She was holding a few handbags and some clothes on hangers. She worked fast. I hadn't even gotten a chance to browse the wallets.

I shrugged. "It was Mike giving me an update on Lucy," I responded, trying to hide the fact that I missed her like crazy.

Rosalie nodded and went on to look at some more purses, leaving me to browse them myself.

After the third store we went into, I realized that we were in the mall for four hours; I was exhausted. I had only bought one top for myself, and a few outfits for Lucy. I felt like I was hardly shopping for myself.

Alice was just as perky as she had been when we had arrived. I wondered how many cups of coffee she had had earlier today. Rose seemed to be getting tired as well, but she wasn't dragging her feet and lagging behind like I was.

"Come on, Bella! We have two more stores to get to before we stop for lunch," Alice chirped from in front of me.

I rolled my eyes. "Can't we just stop now?" I knew I sounded whiney, but I didn't care. I was tired and my feet hurt.

Alice laughed and Rose shot me an apologetic look over her shoulder. I groaned and checked my phone again. I had a text from Edward.

Bella – I had an amazing time yesterday too. I can't wait to see you again, and of course Lucy. I would love to eat some dinner you prepared. It's a fair trade. I'll call you later. –Edward

I grinned down at the phone. Edward was going to call me later; and we didn't even have plans.


Edward Cullen

I felt like a little schoolboy when I received Bella's text. She had enjoyed spending time with me. If I were to die now, I would die a happy man.

My parents had taken Jackson for the day, saying something about taking him to the zoo. Normally, I would've gone with them, but I had a lot of work to get done so I sat at home in my office while my son and parents frolicked at the zoo.

I sighed and re-read Bella's message before responding. Alice had sent me a text a few hours before announcing that she was shopping with Bella and Rose today. She also put a wink face at the end. I hoped by now they would be finished shopping and resting, but knowing Alice, they'd be shopping until the mall closed.

I tapped my pen against the surface of my desk as I sent out the message to Bella. I hoped she would respond soon and that she wouldn't be freaked out that I basically told her I would be calling her later like a needy boyfriend.

Ah, her boyfriend. Just thinking the word and having it attached to her made my heart clench. Could that ever happen between us? Did she even think of me that way, because I sure as hell thought of her that way?

After a few minutes and no response from Bella, I reluctantly got back to work, typing away on my computer and trying to focus on the article.

By five in the evening, my parents and Jackson returned to the apartment and Bella had yet to respond to my text. I was slightly depressed by that fact, but I put on a smile as I greeted them.

"Hey guys, did you have fun?" I asked after I had let them inside. My little boy had a new stuffed lion and a zebra figurine.

My father, Carlisle, smiled at me. "We had a wonderful time, didn't we Jackson?" he replied, scooping up my son in his arms and tickling his sides.

Jackson giggled. "Yeah, grandpa and grandma bought me these!" he yelled after my father had stopped tickling him. He thrust the animals in my face forcing me to grab them.

"Was he good for you guys?" I asked turning to my mother, Esme, while my father chased Jackson into his bedroom.

My mom smiled at me warmly and reached out to rub my shoulder. "He was wonderful. He always is."

I smirked. My boy had always been a gentleman. Even at birth. He never cried or had hissy-fits. Hopefully his attitude wouldn't change as he got older. If his attitude stayed the same, he would grow up to become a wonderful man.

I was about to get my mother a glass of water from the kitchen when my phone went off. I quickly took it from my pocket and saw that I had a new text from Bella. I felt freaking giddy.

"You can take that, I know where your glasses are," my mom said with a smirk before walking off to kitchen and leaving me with my phone.

I smiled and opened the message.

E – sorry it took me so long to respond. Alice was killing me through shopping and forced me to try on clothing that will never see the light of day. Anyway, I will be waiting for your phone call. ~Bella

I grinned at my phone before closing it, opting not to message her back with questions about her day and just wait to ask those when I called.

I found my mother seated at the kitchen table with a glass of water and the latest Time magazine. She smiled when I entered the room and gestured for me to sit down with her.

She closed the magazine and just grinned at me. "So, Jackson and Alice have been telling me about two girls you had a play date with."

I smirked. Alice would drop the bomb. It was her nature. Jackson was a kid and he just pretty much told everyone everything if he was comfortable with him or her.

"Jackson had a play date with Jasper's sister's boyfriend's sister's daughter." Wow, that was a tongue twister. My mother laughed.

"Well, from what I hear, the play date wasn't only beneficial for your son, but also for you," she said with a raise of her eyebrow.

I looked down, trying to hide my emotions from my mom. She could always read me so well.

"Bella is wonderful," I said simply. "Her daughter is great, too. She and Jackson hit it off really well."

My mom nodded. "You should invite her to our family barbeque next Sunday. She can of course bring her daughter. I really want to meet them."

I bit my lip and glanced up at my mother. "I don't know. It might be uncomfortable for her. I really don't know her that well."

My mother shrugged and took a sip of her drink. "I understand, just keep it in mind. You might change your mind."

Three hours later, my parents had left and I had just put Jackson to bed. I settled down in the living room with my phone in my hand, feeling like a high-schooler again because I was so nervous to call Bella. I had never really called her just to talk to her; we had always talked on the phone when we were getting together.

I took a deep breath and finally called her. She answered on the third ring.

"You're not busy right now, are you?" I asked, hoping I wasn't interrupting anything.

"Nope, just got off the phone with Lucy a little while ago," she replied with a sigh. I could tell she missed her daughter.

"How is she? Is she enjoying her weekend with her dad?"

"I think so. She seemed happy, tired, but in good spirits. How was your day?"

We talked on the phone for about two hours about nothing too spectacular, but interesting at the same time. I told her stories about my boring day, and she told me about her shopping trip with Alice and Rosalie.

We also talked about high school and everything in between. We didn't even realize how long we had been talking until Bella glanced at the clock and pretty much freaked out. It was quite hilarious.

Once we said our goodbyes, I headed off to bed to dream of a lovely brunette with crazy stories and a wonderful mind.


A/N: Yeah, I know the chapter isn't very long and I'm sorry, but wouldn't you rather have longer chapters when they actually are together and not just talking via text messages and phone calls? Yeah…that's what I thought. Anyway…check out all the links I have for this story in my profile and add me on livejournal. Please review. They give me warm fuzzies!
