The Carpathia was about to dock in New York and Bella could not help but feel scared and sad. Scared because she did not know what was going to happen to her and Alice once in New York, and sad because she may never see Edward again. It's true that they just met each other but for the past two days they have gotten to know each other more.
Bella felt the swell of tears forming in her eyes when she thought about Edward leaving her and Alice behind. She knew that it was a great possibility but she just couldn't hold on to the fact that her and Alice were homeless. They also had no living relatives...Bella and Alice were truely alone in this country.
Bella jumped when a hand gently touched her shoulder. "Bella, I know that we haven't exactly known each other for a long time, but I was wondering. I have an estate that nobody in my family, including me, has lived in for quite some time. Since you have mentioned in our previous conversations that your parents regretibly left you with nothing but fond memories, you could live in the estate for as long as you want." Edward explained in a quiet kind voice. "I will even pay for the groceries and for you and Alice to go to school."
Bella was overwhelmed with the kindness that Edward was giving to her she did not know what to say. "Oh, Edward it's all too much! I just could not live with myself if you had to spend so much money on Alice or I."
Edward's eyes twinkled and his lips turned up in a smile that took Bella's breath away. "Bella, it is truely no trouble at all. Besides I have a young cousin who will just adore Alice. I believe that they could be come great companions like you and I."
Knowing that she will not get a better deal in New York for her sister and herself, Bella had no choice but to nod and accept his generosity. She had to do what was best for her young sister even if it felt like she was mooching off of someone's fortune.
EDWARD'S POV (KIND OF)
Later Bella and Alice were in a suite next to Edward's in a glorious over night bed and breakfast. Earlier in the day after the boat had docked Bella and Edward had explained of what was going to happen with sweet Alice, and unlike her sister, Alice was very pleased and excited about the arrangment.
But what Bella and Alice did not know is that Edward's estate was not in New York but in a small quaint town called Forks in the woodsy state of Washington. Edward had not thought to inform them of that news yet for he had been feeling quite fortunate that the lovely Bella and Alice had agreed to live by him and his family anyway.
Edward sighed as he thought about the long silky curls of chesnut hair that flowed down to her waist when not tied in a tight bun. In his thoughts he also admired the beauty of her ivory skin, small cute features, and kind warm chocolate eyes. What a beautiful creature indeed, Edward thought to himself with a wistful smile on his face.
Then his smile turned amused when he thought about the fiery fairy that was Bella's small sister Alice, the way she inquired about things to the core of their existance was quite adorable for she is quite a small child yet she was very educated like her stellar big sister. Edward believed that Alice would like his small southern cousin , for he like the rest of his male cousins were brought up to be genltlemen. Jasper, Edward's child cousin, had also lost his parents along with his big sister Rosalie, who was married to a burly merchant, Emmet.
In truth, Edward had come to a conclusion that Bella and Alice would love his family, as his family would learn to adore these two women, one of them (Bella of course because Edward is not a perv) who has Edward's deepest affections.
For the rest of the night Edward layed on his master bed and gazed at the ceiling, thinking about what adventures he and Bella could have if she would say yes about Edward courting her. He could only imagine though, for he did not know what Bella's thoughts about him were. Edward could not ruin what was already there so soon, that would surely kill him, for he could no longer think about life without Bella.
And with those thoughts about Bella, Edward fell into a peaceful sleep with a gentle smile on his face.
