BPOV: Count Us In

"That's like a month away." I said to no one in particular. Alice nodded eagerly. Edward watched me, he knew something was wrong.

"I know we don't want to wait anymore, so we decided it would be best if we just married sooner. You understand don't you Bella?" I hesitated but she didn't catch it. Edward did, but I ignored him and continued on with Alice.

"Ya. So does this mean your going to start planning right away?" I asked her and she nodded smiling. I had to be happy for her and then ask questions later. Ha. Like that worked anyway.

"Yes. I want yout to help me pick out things, also Esme and Rose are to. It will be perfect." And with that she was gone just like she appeared. I looked away from Edward and made my way upstairs, he of course followed behine me. When I got to my room I just opened the door and walked to the bed laying down and closing my eyes. I heard Edward come in behind me and sit down at the end if the bed. We stayed like that for a while before he sighed and joined me laying down. I cuddled up to him.

"What's wrong Bella?" He asked me and I shrugged. He made me look up and into his eyes.

"Are you mad about Alice getting married?" I mouthed the word no.

"Are you...mad she's getting married so soon and you think she's going to forget about you?" Damn he was good. I didn't say anything.

"Isabella...look at me." I didn't notice I was looking away from him. I looked up straight at him and smiled. He smiled back.

"She's is not going to forget you. She loves you to much, your her best friend. Her sister. Sure she's going to move in with Jasper but I had already planned to tell you that I'm staying here. I want to live with you. I want us to have a place for ourselves. A starter apartment...before we get a house and start a family." I was shocked. When did he think about all of this.

"What you don't want kids yet? To early? I'm so stupid I can't believe I even said that. Ugh!" I giggled at him and he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Edward I was probably looking shocked because your staying here. Your okay with going to med school here?" I asked him and he seemed relieved.

"Bella as long as I'm with you I don't care were I go." I laughed and he hugged me closer to him.

"So...kids?" He said making me pull apart from him and kiss his nose.

"Of course silly. Three." He was beaming now.

"Really?" I nodded and he lifted me up into his arms and spun me around.

"Don't be upset, love. Will be together. Alice is not going to leave you." I shrugged.

"I know. But I can't but feel that she's going to forget about me and move on with her life." He rolled his eyes.

"Sure Bella. Were talking about Alice. Everything step or move she has taken has been with you. It would shock me if she wanted to get an apartment right next door to us." I laughed and he joined in with me.

"Were...going to be living together...wow." He laughed and hugged me tightly.

"I know. But I can't even think about not being with you when summer is over. I'd go crazy without you." He kissed my lips, and slowly moved down to my jaw line and neck.

"Hey Bella....WHOA! You can at least close the door when your doing something like that." Jasper said covering his eyes with his hand. I pulled apart from Edward making him sigh, and try to pull me back.

"Sorry Jasper. What can I do you for?" I got off the bed and went to stand next to him at the door. He looked calm like always.

"Well...do you think we can go out for a walk?" I smirked at Edward and nodded to Jasper, following him outside. We walked in silence until Jasper finally spoke up.

"I wanted to know if you'd help me plan the honeymoon, you know what Alice loves a little more than I do. I need you help and I also need help with the vows. I'm speechless." I was laughing now and he was glaring.

"Oh I'm sorry Jasper. Of course I'll help you, and that's perfect to say." I said to him and continued walking but he didn't follow so I turned to see him looking at me like I was crazy.

"What?" I asked him.

"What's perfect to say?" He asked me and I rolled my eyes at him.

"You said you were speechless. Meaning your speechless about Alice. She means so much to you." He smiled at me and walked up beside me, and we continued walking. We talked just about anything we could think of. How many kids he wanted, what he really was thinking when he asked Alice to marry him and other things to. He even asked me questions about Edward. I told him about what Edward and I were talking about before Jasper came. He told me that he was glad we would be living together. He saw how much Edward would miss me when we were apart. It started to get dark out when we began to walk back home.

"We've been talking for hours." I said smiling. He looked at me and smiled to.

"Bella no matter how much we know each other. We really connected tonight, and I'm glad. I can really see why Alice loves you so much. And Edward to...wait who am I kidding, everyone loves you. Even people who just met you." I giggled.

"WE'RE HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN?!" Both our heads snapped up to Emmett's booming voice on the front porch.

"Walking?" Jasper laughed at what I said, as if it were a crime.

"WELL GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE! WERE HAVING GAME NIGHT!" Emmett disappeared back into the house and Jasper and I looked at each other. This can't be good. We slowly made our way into the house just in case someone popped out and told us it was a joke. But when I opened the door and Jasper behind me, we both stopped dead in our tracks. Game boxes of all different games were everywhere. Junk food was in the spaces that the boxes weren't in. And in the middle of it in the living room was the thing I loved most...my family. Alice was on the floor with Esme and Rose trying to put together a game. Emmett and Edward were eating something disgusting and Carlisle was smiling at Jasper and I as we came into the room. It was if he knew what we had just talked about. I went over and sat next to him and hugged him. He looked surprised and then hugged me back. When we pulled apart everyone was silent and looking at us.

"Bella come with me for a minute." Carlisle said ignoring the looks everyone gave us. I followed him out of the room and into his study. I closed the door behind me and he motioned for me to sit down.

"Esme and I were talking and after you finish college, well you last year. We want you to live he with us. Edward's found a school only twenty minutes from here and it would be perfect. We want you both to live with us in this huge house. We want Alice and Jasper to also, but we haven't asked them yet." I smiled at him.

"Carlisle that would be...amazing. Are you sure?" He nodded smiling.

"We've never been this sure about anything in our lives before. Were lonely when you kids are gone and we know how much you all want to be home, even though you aren't that far away."

"Did you ask Edward?" I asked him and he nodded.

"He told me to ask you and that he'd go along with whatever you wanted." He chuckled and I laughed.

"So what do you say Bella?" He asked me.

"Count us in." Verbally including Edward, since we would be together for the rest of our lives.
