Chapter 13

The next morning with jeans and a loose blouse on, I headed for the dining room for breakfast; I met up with Edward who gave me my sign. As I walked in the dining room, Emmett wasn't there yet so we sat down and that kept my sign hidden. After I finished breakfast, I went to finish getting ready. As I got up, Emmett looked at my sign and said, "Thanks Bella, maybe now I can remember."

We soon left for the airport. From the moment the plane was off the ground, we were creating a list of everything I could think of and brainstorming how to get in and out. These guys planning skills were incredible.

We landed at noon and Carlisle said, "Straight home with her boys. Once you have her at home, then someone can go get groceries. Bella, here is a cell phone; your number is taped to the back. Guys, get her number programmed into your phones and make sure she knows how to use it. Get your numbers programmed in, as well. It has email, texting, calling, internet and GPS. Remember Bella you can go to the office and you have to stay in the house."

"Thanks, Carlisle."

"Boss, it's lunch time. Can we at least get drive through or pizza?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, but that's all."

Forty-five minutes later with Emmett's favorite pizza, we got to their house. Immediately, after lunch, Jasper headed to the grocery store. Emmett and Edward showed me around and how the alarm worked. Then they showed me my room and left me alone for awhile.

We started going into the office to start planning the next day. The first weekend my godfathers took me to a mall to buy more clothes with Carlisle's approval. For the first month in LA, I was either at their house or at the office.

A CIA doctor cleared me after I had been in LA for a month that my ribs were good. I started using the boys' basement gym to workout in to stay in shape since I wasn't allowed outside.

One morning, after I had been there almost six weeks, I was awake early and restless. I quietly got up, turned off the back door alarm and just sat outside close to the house sipping on coffee.

I heard, "Bella, I smell your coffee; but I can't see you," then he realized the door was open and stepped outside. "Bella, you're not supposed to be out here by yourself."

"Edward, I'm tired of guns and planning; I needed a break. I want to be plain old Bella Swan, the girl that goes white water rafting. My ribs are fine and I want to get out. There is no one stalking me and no one has a clue who I am. I have been good, but I am going stir crazy."

"Fine, get dressed in something casual and put on sneakers, grab a hat, your purse and sunglasses. I'll meet you at the front door, but be quiet."

"Really, we're leaving?" Where are we going?" I ask as we quietly leave the house and Edward reset the alarm.

"Just come on; you'll see soon enough."

We drive for about twenty minutes and then I see a sign for Disneyland. "Edward, are you taking me to Disneyland?"

"Yes, I can't take you river rafting. That's too far away, but I thought I could let you be a kid."

"Really?"

"Yes, but we're dating and love each other. You have to stay close."

"I can do that. Edward are you carrying your gun into the park?"

"Yes, Bella. Of course I am I have to. I have my permit and my id. Do you want to go back to the house?"

"No. What about Emmett and Jasper?"

"Oh. We're going to have some fun with them as part of our day."

"What are we doing?"

"We are going to send them text messages with clues so that they have to try and figure out where we are."

"This will be fun. Thank you, Edward. I'm so excited; I have never been to Disneyland!"

"So Bella, take a picture of the freeway sign that says five south and send it to them saying the clue is the direction we are heading."

Edward actually pulled into the Grand Californian. We went into the front desk where he bought us a hotel room and park hopper tickets for the day. We stopped at the bakery just outside of the park for coffee.

Our next clue was a picture of me drinking coffee covering the Disney logos, the message that went with it was - coffee and then I am going to go make some new friends.

We get in the park early because of Edward getting us a hotel room. Edward takes me straight to Space Mountain. It was so much fun.

Mountains in the dark, but it is not a cave - our next clue.

Pirates was next and that was fun. The boys had introduced me to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies in Alaska while I stayed in the hospital for the second week. Now I got to see how everything mixed in from the rides.

The text was - I might make Edward walk the plank.

Then we went to Pirate's Island, we took a picture of ourselves in the pirate's cage from the movie and sent it to them.

Uh oh pirates caught us both u better hurry and save us

Then we went over one of the suspension bridges and some kid hopped on the beginning of the bridge and I misstepped but Edward caught me and as he helped me right myself. I said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Bella."

Edward sent the next text that said - I saved her from the pirates now I am going to take her around the world.

When we got off the ride, Edward started pulling me towards Toontown. I tripped and Edward caught me. As I straightened up, Edward smiled at me and said, "You can white water raft and rock climb but you trip at an amusement park."

"Yes, my incredible husband your legs are longer than mine," and I looked up at Edward's face. Edward started to lean down closer to my face and then stopped when the text alert on his phone went off. Edward grabbed his phone and read U 2 R at Disneyland; U R so busted if we get caught but wait for us.

Edward then told them how to get their tickets, but that we would keep sending clues to find us in the park. While Edward sent the text, I sat next to him and just leaned on his shoulder and thought to myself I think Edward was about to kiss me.

U R on.

As we headed towards our next ride, I saw hats and shirts. Edward pulled me in close trying to get me to the next ride and I said, "Please, can I have a Disney shirt?"

"Of course," Edward said and pulled out his phone and texted - shopping for hats.

I came back with a Tinkerbell shirt and a smirk.

"What Bella?"

"Well, you know, how you said we have to stay close and act like we love each other?"

"Yes."

I pulled out the bride and groom ears and asked, "Yes?" almost with a pouty smile on.

Edward smiled back his amazing crooked smile and asked, "Will it get you even closer to me?"

"Yes," and I smiled shyly. I stepped in even closer and kissed his cheek.

That was all it took. Edward bought everything and while Edward waited for our ears to be engraved, he let me go change because there was a bathroom he could see. When I returned, he put my ears on my head and said, "Come along, Mrs. Cullen," and he kissed my cheek.

Edward's text said - another mountain roller coaster ride.

When we got to the front of the line, I looked at Edward. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, I really get to sit in your lap?"

"Yes, you do my beautiful wife, Bella."

I giggled.

Soon we loaded in, Edward had his arms wrapped around me and pulled my ears off my head. Edward whispered, "This is perfect."

"Thank you. I'm so happy you decided to sneak me out."

"I'm glad; I like seeing you smile." Then we were off. I held onto the bars and Edward held onto me. We slid around in each other's arms; it was so much fun.

As the ride ended and I climbed out, I was smiling and Edward climbed out wrapped his arms around me. He pulled me to the exit of the ride. Outside the ride, Edward put my ears back on me and I put his on him. As my hands came back down, Edward got my hands in his and kept them by our faces. Then he gently kissed my lips. "Bella, I have fallen in love you," he whispered and then he kissed me. My hands went around his neck and his pulled me in closer around my waist.

His tongue ran over my lower lip and I gasped, "Edward, we can't; we need to talk."

I ended the kiss and went to take a couple steps, but he pulled me back into him. He whispered, "Remember, you can't walk away. Send them a text that your prince is going to take you on a horsey ride and to the castle."

So to the carousel horses we went, I got on a pink horse and Edward was next to me. Then he took me into Aurora's castle. When we came out at the exit, I was accosted by Emmett.

"We found you. Wait a minute, did you two get married?"

"No, we're just playing the part."

"Wait a minute, then how do I get to ride with you on the Matterhorn?"

Jasper said, "Since we figured out where you were, he was so excited to ride the Matterhorn with you and now you took it away from him."

"Come on, Emmett. I'll ride the haunted mansion with you."

"Alright."

"Sorry, Edward. I get your bride right now." We were away for the rest of the day. In the afternoon, we went over to California Adventure. We went on Soarin', Tower of Terror and California Screaming. We had a blast on Toy Story. I amazingly won and the boys didn't like that. Their egos were slightly bruised. We saw the World of Color show, ran back to Disney for the fireworks and then saw Fantasmic back at Disneyland. After Fantasmic, we rode the Matterhorn and I rode with Emmett. He loved it and he wasn't inappropriate at all. His arms were wrapped around my waist though. We went back to our cars and headed home.

As Edward and I slipped into his car, I said, "Thank you, Edward. Today has been so much fun."

"You're welcome. Now let's get you home."

"Edward, is it okay if I say something while we are driving?"

"Of course, Bella."

"I have never had a boyfriend and I know you know that. If I had been allowed, I would want someone just like you. You have always taken care of me, all of me. I was so happy that you stayed at the hospital with me for two weeks. I was so scared when the doctor wanted to put me in a coma. The only reason I allowed his to do that was because you were with me holding my hand. But Edward I don't know what that kind of love is. I remember love for my father, then there is the love for my step sisters and finally love for my country."

"Bella, it's okay."

"Edward, wait please. Let me finish."

"I know how love is depicted in the movies and books and I know what I want. Will you teach me about what love is between two people when they are dating or interested in each other?"

Edward quickly pulled to the side of the road. He pulled me into a hug and kissed me and said, "Yes, I will."

We made it back to their house and I had eventually fallen asleep on the drive.

EPOV

I carried Bella into her bedroom. After laying her on her bed and taking off her shoes and socks, I said, "Bella, I'm sorry. I can only show you how to love me," and he kissed my cheek.

"That's okay, Edward. I don't mind," I mumbled and rolled into a ball on my pillow.

As I left the room, I muttered to myself, "Good, she really didn't hear that because she was asleep."

I was in the kitchen in my pajama pants when Jasper came out as well. We all had to go out and buy pajama pants at Carlisle's insistence, so that we didn't horrify our new house guest. We use to just walk around in boxers.

"Today was fun, man."

"Yes, it was Jasper. Actually, it was fantastic."

"Why for you?"

"I told Bella I love her and she asked me to teach her about love. Jasper, she has never had a boyfriend. My hunch is she would never have a boyfriend and her father would have had her marry in some kind of arranged marriage."

"Edward, can you still take care of her and be objective?"

"Yes Jasper. I need her now more than anything."

"Just be careful, man. We don't know all the rules of her country and she's going back as their queen. We don't know what we are up against."

"Jasper, it doesn't matter. I will do anything for her."

"What if that is walk away one day?"

"Then I will."
