Chapter 12 ~ Shopping

Bella's POV

Everything was almost back to normal except for my relationship with Edward. We kept a distance between us. He enjoyed his time with the triplets but I could see that he was sad because he didn't have me. I was sad too but I didn't know what stopped me from having him back. I'm just being so stupid.

Today all the girls were going shopping including Esme and me. The boys were staying home and playing games including Carlisle. Alice convinced everyone to have a day to enjoy them. Not that some people didn't like; Carlisle didn't like playing, Esme didn't like shopping the way Alice did it and I didn't want to go shopping today. I was not in the mood. I was just thinking about my relationship with Edward.

The morning started with a dull weather. It was snowing. Out of all the things it had to be snow. I still hated snow.

"Adam, Kevin and Kimberly come here right now." I called for them in a hard clear voice.

They were instantly in front of her. Behind them there were Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Esme, Carlisle and Edward standing. They were curious about they way I called them.

"What? Don't worry; I just had to tell you that you have to eat human food today, three times." They thought they were in trouble.

The triplets groaned and everyone laughed.

"Did you guys eat your breakfast?" I asked them.

They didn't answer back. I looked at them in horror. They didn't. How could they not.

"You guys didn't eat yet?" I asked in a hard voice.

"No mom." Kim answered looking down at her feet.

"Look up in my eyes." They all immediately looked at me. "How dare you guys not eat? How many times have I told you that you have to eat human food, weather you like it or not"

Everyone was staring at me. They never heard me speak this way. Right now I was a mother and nothing more. The all of a sudden Emmett busted into a laugh. I shot a hard glare at Emmett and his laughter was shut. I continued to talk to the trips.

"Now go make something and eat. It better be the normal amounts if you ate any less then you don't know what I'm going to do. Now go." I told them.

They quickly made their way to the kitchen. I walked behind them and behind me were the rest of the Cullens. They were obviously shocked of me. Kim went to the fridge and grabbed two eggs then she walked over to the closets and got a frying pan. She went to the stove and started cooking. She knew I was very angry so she didn't say complain about cooking. Adam and Kevin just stared at her.

"What are you waiting for? Grab something to eat right now." I ordered them.

They quickly did the same thing as Kim. When they were all done cooking, they went to the dinning table and sat down and started eating. I sat down in front of them and waited for them to eat. Behind me were standing the Cullens. They didn't say anything the whole time. The triplets were almost done.

"Don't leave anything on your plates. When you are done, wash your dishes and dry them up and place them back where they belong." They nodded.

Finally after a long time they were done. Then I heard a voice behind me.

"Umm… Bella…you are… a tough mom…" Emmett wasn't even done when I shot him a look. "I mean in a good way." He quickly defended himself.

I laughed. "Well it's been thirty years of that."

"Now can we go shopping?" Impatient Alice.

"Yeah let's go" I answered her back.

All of us – the girls – went shopping and the boys went in the living room to play their games.

Shopping was never my thing. Not that I didn't like fashion but still they way Alice did shopping – was defiantly not my thing. Alice is always hyper for shopping. Kimberly was like her as well.

We finally came back. The cars were full of shopping bags – we took my car and Rosalie's car. As we enter – each of us holding so many shopping bags – all the boys came over and took the bags from us. Edward came over to me and held his hand out for the bags. He had his crocked smile and I couldn't refuse him. I gave him some of the bags. Together we both went to my room. We placed the bags on my bed.

"I never knew you liked shopping." Edward smirked.

"Actually I don't, but you can't stop Alice." I answered back

Edward chuckled. "But I thought you do. I mean you changed, you like fashion. I guess."

"I do but still, shopping is never my thing." I answered honestly.

Edward chuckled again. After a while he stopped. "I guess… umm… I better get going." He turned around and left.

I knew he hated this part and so did I but I just don't know what the problem between us is. We still love each other, we still trust each other and we belong to each other. But why? Why can't we be together? Why?

I went downstairs and joined the rest of the family. Everyone was in their conversations. I noticed that Edward was in a conversation with Jasper but after a while he got up and went to his piano. He started to check the keys. It seemed like he didn't touch the piano for a long while. Then after I while he started playing Esme's song. So enough later the song changed into my lullaby. It still sounded the same and beautiful. It was perfect. I couldn't stay here; I went upstairs to my room and just sat their staring at the wall. Why can't we be back together?
