Thank you so much for your reviews, you warmed my heart so much that made me finish this chapter faster.

I hope you enjoy it!

After checking a few things downstairs and walked calmly to my office but stopped dead in my tracks when the first thing I saw was Edward hugging a tall strawberry blond and I just froze.

EPOV

I went up the elevator ding to see Bella, we hadn't being able to spend a lot of time together lately, first it were her ACT's then the opening of the store. But I knew my sister well, and she definitely had everything ready, and tonight it would be a lot calmer, so I hoped I would be able to steel Bella for the night. I had already talked to Renée about Bella spending the weekend with me and she had agreed. I knew that tomorrow I would only be able to see her at night, because Alice had already warned me that she would be taking Bella away before lunch to get ready.

The elevator doors open into the reception area, I walked to Bella's office and pressed the security code and the door opened. To my disappointment she wasn't there, but Alice and Rose's door was opened and she was coming out.

"Hi, Edward."

"Hey, Alice."

"There's someone here who would like to see you."- She said beaming and my thoughts went to Bella immediately. She moved to the side and my mouth dropped.

"Tanya?"- I couldn't believe she was here, I didn't remember the last time I had actually seen her. She was one of my best friends.

"Hi, Edward."- She said opening her arms to me.

"I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow."- I said hugging her.

"It was a last minute decision. Wow, you look great."- She said looking at me from head to toe.

"Thanks, you look great too."

"She has amazing news."- Alice said and I looked questionably at her.-"Well, I'll leave you two to catch up.

"I'm pregnant."- Tanya said beaming after Alice had gone back to her office.

"Wow, congratulations, I'm so happy for you."- I said pulling her into my arms for another hug.

"Oh, hello."- Tanya said looking over my shoulder, I turned around and saw Bella frozen at the doorway, her mouth open looking at us all color drained from her face and I immediately panicked.

"It's not what you think!"- I said trying to reassure her. I walked to her and cupped her face.-"That's Tanya my friend who's engaged and I was just congratulating her on her pregnancy."- Bella let out what seem to be a sigh of relief and closed her eyes for a few seconds. -"Come let me introduce you."- I took her hand and walked back to Tanya.-"This is Bella my beautiful girlfriend."

"It's so good to finally meet you; I've heard so much about you."- Tanya said smiling.-"I feel like I know you already."

"It's nice to meet you too, we actually talked on the phone a few times. I also heard a lot about you."- Bella said relaxing against me.

"So you're the girl who stole Edward's heart?"- Tanya asked.

"She didn't have to steal what was already hers."- I said looking deeply in Bella's eyes and she smiled widely.

They talked for a while about random things and I felt Bella relax eve more which made me relax too; I put my arm around her waist to make sure she knew I was there for her and no one else.

"What about dinner?"- Alice asked looking expectantly at me.

"Sorry we already have plans."

"We do?"- Bella asked.

"Yes."

"Great, let me just call my mother."

"Don't worry about it, I already talked to her."- I said and Bella looked at me suspiciously.

We decided to leave Bella's car in the store parking and drove together to my house quietly.

We were driving to Edward's house and even though I had recovered from the shock, what had happened still bothered me, which made me mad at myself. When Edward told me it was Tanya he was holding, my heart calmed down a little bit. He introduced me to her as his beautiful girlfriend and my heart melted a little more.

After I had finally relaxed in Edward's arms, because he kept his arm around my waist all the time, I was actually able to have a nice conversation with Tanya and get to know her a little better. She was two months pregnant and engaged, she would be getting married only next year after the baby would be born. She was going to be Alice and Rose's Maid of Honor so we would be definitely spend more time together.

Unfortunately my crazy brain got fixated on the image of Edward hugging someone else, and the terrifying feeling of seeing that again consumed my heart. It went beyond possessiveness, it was a much deeper feeling, the fear of Edward leaving me for someone better, more interesting, more beautiful, older. I realized that deep down I still feared that he would leave me and that scared me shitless. He had told me he wanted to marry me, that I was it for him, so why could I just relax? Why was I so afraid? My brains just couldn't comprehend the fact that someone like Edward who looked like a Greek god, with an amazing body…God! Everything in him was perfect, how could he be content with someone like me? What if one day an image like the one I had seen today was actually true? Would I survive that?

"What are you thinking?"- Edward asked me a little concerned.

"You wouldn't like it."- I said facing the window.

"Bella please."

"Could you promise me something?"- Asked without looking at him.

"Anything, you know that."- He said seriously. I gather my thoughts and took a deep breath.

"If…you…uh…if you ever want out of this…"- I said moving my hand between us.-"Could you please tell me you found someone else? I really don't want to find out by catching you in the act."- I said looking at my hands with my eyes filled with tears.

He pulled over by the side of the road, stopped the car and got out, and then he walked to my side and opened the passenger door and extended his hand to me. I looked at him and removed my sitting belt and took his hand. He closed the door and breathed out loudly, then he moved over to me backing me up against the car, he looked in my eyes and shook his head, then he was all over me, kissing me and touching me, making me week in the knees.

"You silly, silly girl…"- He said against my lips, with one hand around my waist and the other in the back of my neck holding me close to him.-"Don't you know by now that there will never be anyone else, Bella? Haven't I told you how much you mean to me? How eager I am to spend the rest of my life with you?"

"But…"- He kissed me desperately again.

"But nothing…Bella. I love you! You! Isabella Marie Swan… no one else, just you, always you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to build a future with you, have as many children as you want…and a lot more grandchildren, because I want you for the rest of my life, I want to grow old with you."- He leaned down and pressed his forehead to mine.-"Why can't you believe me?"- He whispered and my heart broke. I felt so foolish for doubting his feelings, because even all I could see was honesty and love I his eyes.

"I'm sorry…it's just that…somehow my brain has difficulty processing that…you deserved someone different…someone more…"- I was cut off by his lips kissing me again.

"Please Bella, don't…what can I do to make you believe me?"- He thought for a while then pulled away and opened the door for me and I looked at him questionably.-"I need to show you something."- He said.

We drove in silence again to his house, he parked the car in the garage and as always opened his door for me. He took my hand and led me inside and walk me to the living room.

"All be right back."- He said before running up the stairs. He came down only a minute later carrying one of those tube things where you keep posters and stuff like that. Without a word he opened it and spread a huge sheet of paper on top of the coffee table.-"I was waiting for the right moment to show you this. You know how I have the tendency to plan everything right? So the other day I was thinking about us and our future together and I got this idea…"- He stopped and looked at me running his hands through his hair nervously.-"I know you still don't know what you want to do in the future but I had this idea…what do you think?"- He said gesturing me to come closer and take a look.

I knelt by his side in front of the coffee table and took a look at was on top of it and my mouth dropped. It were the blueprints of some building on top it said «Breaking Dawn- Facilities»

"Remember when I told you my dream was to open a place for children like me? I talked about doing it with Jasper, but now…I thought…this could be our future…I could teach there, so could you if that's what you want, or you could just help me run it…"- He then pointed to the blue print.-"These are the classrooms, they will be equipped with all the latest technology, this is the library, the labs, the research rooms…it will be like from kindergarten to high school."- He went on excitedly.-"Oh…and this…he moved the top blueprint to the said just to show another one.-"This building here is all about fun, there will be all kinds of games and fun thing to play with. I was thinking of getting some rides, like a carousel and a small rollercoaster, stuff like that. And of course a huge swimming pool, with slide. And this…"- He moved the blue print to show another one.-"This is the main office building…the faculties break room…-"Then he move his fingers to the top floor…-"and this…this would be my office, and this…would be yours…see there's it has a joint room in between, I thought we could use it to put a cradle in, and some toys…you know for our kids, if you want them that is, if not…it's ok we can turn this into a small library or a special break room just for us…"- He said smiling shyly. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, he had everything so carefully planned, and he wanted it with me, I turned to look at him and our eyes met, there was so much love in them for me but there was also a hint of fear and uncertainty and in that moment everything just got so much clearer…

"You really, really love me, don't you?"- I asked feeling tears fall down my face.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you for the past hour, love."- He said smiling.-"This…"- He said pointing to the blue prints.-"I only wanted with you, it only makes sense if you're a part of it. But you don't have to say anything today, you can think about and we can change anything you don't like."- He said taking my hands in his.

I looked at the blue prints again and in that moment I could see our future clearly, I could see myself next to him, making all those gifted children explore that potential and give them the time of their live. I could see myself as Mrs. Edward Cullen. I turned to Edward again and looked in his eyes and I loved him even more, I felt my heart expand with so much love for him…so I did the only think I could…I jump to his arms and kissed him making him fall on his back carrying me with him.

"You love me."- I said against his lips.

"I do."- He said smiling, his eyes shining with happiness.

"I love you too, and I would love to share that future with you."- I said before taking his lips again.

"Really?"- He said rolling over so he was not on top of me.

"Yes, but you never know what the future will bring."- He frowned a little.

"Will you be with me?"- He asked and I nodded smiling.-"Then I can take anything that will come my away. OK, melting her again.

He spent the next hour explaining me in detail all that he had planned and I saw myself getting excited about our future together. After that we went to the kitchen and made our dinner which we ate outside because the night was beautiful.

We kissed for hours and would stared in each other's eyes every time we pulled away just enjoying the love we felt. I fell asleep wrapped in his arms and that night was filled with happy dreams.

In the morning he took me for a drive and stopped in the middle of nowhere.

"So what do you think?"- I looked around.

"Well…what exactly are we looking at?"

"Breaking Dawn, this is where it going to be built."- He said.

"Wow…you were really confident, weren't you?"- I teased him and to my surprise he blushed.

"Actually I just finalized the deal this morning when you were in the shower."- He said sheepishly and I just rolled my eyes.

We got back to his place at the same time Alice was arriving with Rose and Tanya with her.

"We need to go."- She said.-"There's so much to do."

"Fine."- I said turning my back at her and rolling my eyes and Edward laughed.

"I'll miss you, love."- He said pulling me into his arms.

"I know."

"Good."- He kissed me softly on the lips and whispered.-"Hum…I'm looking forward to see you tonight, I know you'll be stunning. It's a shame I won't be able to hold you like this."

"Oh, please…"- Alice said annoyed.-"It's not like I'm taking her away for a month."

"Whatever."- I said taking a seat next to Tanya in the back seat and Alice took off the moment my door shut.

For the next four hours, four freaking hours! We were pampered from head to toes, with everything known in the world of beauty salons.

"So, you seem very happy today."- Rose said while we were having our nails done.

"Edward loves me."- I said smiling widely.

"Tell me something I don't know about."- She said rolling her eyes.-"It's all over his face."

"She's right you know."- Tanya said.-"I've known Edward for a long time and I have never seen him like this."

"It's true."- Alice said beaming.-"It will be awesome to have as our sister."- She said and Rose nodded in agreement.

We went straight to the store to get dressed, Alice and Rose had designed all of our dresses, they were all unique pieces which made them very expensive. I had told her it was not necessary but she said, we were part of AliRose, so we would have to be at our best.

Before we got dressed we went downstairs to have a look at things, there were already lots of people there. The catering service, all of the employees including Jessica, and off course the faces of the new line that included Angela. The football team was there as well looking good in their dress suits.

"Hi, Bella."- Jacob said coming to meet me.-"Wow, you're smoking."- He said

"Wait until you see her in her dress."- Alice said walking by.

"So are you nervous."- I asked him.

"No, yeah…there's going to be a lot of people here tonight."

"You'll do great."- I said.

"Oh, hi Jacob."- One of the girls said walking by and the looks on Jacob's face made me smile.

"Hi Leah, you look great."- He said blushing.

"Jacob Black, you like that girl."- I said smiling.

"No I don't."

"Jacob…"- I said looking at him, I knew him better than anyone else.

"Ok, I like…she's great…she's into sports did you know that."

"Actually I did, I saw her presentation video."

"Right…"- He said.

"I hope you finally find happiness."- I told him sincerely.

"I really hope I do, but you'll always be my best friend."

"Bella, oh my God, you look so beautiful."- Jessica said half smiling.

"Thanks."- I said.-"So ready for tonight?"- I asked her.

"Yes, I have to greet people and escort them to their designated seat. Oh my God this is so exciting. I can't believe I'm actually here. Lauren turned green when she found out I was going to be here."

Needless to say I had to excuse myself because I really didn't care about Lauren. I went to check on Angela, she looked beautiful and a nervous wreck. Later I joined Alice and Rose in the final details and then we went upstairs to get ready.

EPOV

The music flowed freely filling the room, every note, every cord was imprinted with all the happiness and love I felt. For a moment, yesterday, I got worried but today everything was different. She had loved my plan, and had finally and hopefully understood I was not leaving, that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. She needed to learn to believe in my love for her and trust in it.

But I understood her doubts, deep down I knew how she felt, because I felt the same, that immense fear of losing her to someone else. The difference was I didn't dwell in those feelings, instead I put all my energy in making her happy that way the probabilities of her leaving were minimum.

Emmet came by in the middle of the afternoon, we played pool, poker to kill the time before we met our beautiful women, and considering the time they had spend in the salon they would be looking stunning, not that Bella was always beautiful, but when she let Alice dress her up, hum…it was just amazing. I was looking forward to seeing her.

We drove separately to the store, everything was lighted up and there was an actual red carpet outside with a bunch of photographers, leave to Alice and Rose to glam the opening up. We went inside and the place looked amazing, nothing like a regular store would look, the catwalk being in the center of everything, with chairs all around it, leaving the idea of a full circuit. The decoration was amazing and I could easily see my mother's touch.

"Wow, the place looks amazing."- Jasper said.

"Yeah."- Emmet said looking around the room.

"Hello Edward."- Jessica Stanley greeted me smiling; I had trouble remembering that she also worked here.

"Hello, Jessica."

"Welcome to AliRose, can I escort you to your designated seat."- She said with a smile, her word had obviously been memorized.

"Thank you, but we'll be going to check on my sister and wish her good luck."

"Right…"- She was gone as quickly as she came.

So we headed to the improvised dressing rooms located behind the catwalk, we showed our passes to the security and went inside, where an organized chaos ruled, there were people walking by with clothes in hangers, there were the football players looking kind of nervous and excited at the same time, makeup artists, hairdressers, photographers, and commanding everything there were Alice and Rose looking absolutely beautiful in similar dresses.

"I'm going to greet my guys."- Emmet said and he walked to the football players, Jacob included, and greeted them all.

"So do you think Alice is too worked up or should I go give her a calming kiss?- Jasper said.

"Maybe you should wait another minute, she seems a little stressed."- I said looking around trying to see Bella.

"You're right."

Emmet went behind Rose and put his arms around her giving her a hug and Alice immediately turned around looking for Jasper and she smiled widely and their eyes met.

"Hello, my beautiful fiancée."- Jasper said pulling her into his arms.

"Hey, and so glad you're here. I really needed your calming presence."- She said sighing.-"How's everything outside?"- She asked.

"Everything looks amazing, Alice. There are a lot of guests already."- I said.

"Good."- She then looked at me and smile.-"She's outside."

"What?"

"Bella. If you're looking for her, she's outside."

"Oh…in that case…I'm just…going to."- She just rolled her eyes.

"Edward?"- She said, putting her hand on my arm.-"You better prepare yourself, because she looks beautiful. Try not to ogle her too much."

"I will, sis. And good luck, I know it's going to be a success."- She smiled widely.

"Thanks."

I walked outside and the number of people had grown considerably, and looked around the now crowded room looking for Bella. I wonder what she was wearing. What color would it be? Would it be a short dress, a tight dress? I took a deep breath to calm myself or I would ruin everything by exposing us.

"Good evening son."- My father greeted me.

"Hey, dad. Good to see you."- I hugged him.-"Where's mom?"

"She went to the dressing rooms to say hi to Alice and Rose."- I kept looking around the room trying to find Bella.

"You just missed her."- My dad said smiling.

"Uh?"

"The person you are looking for, she went with your mother and Renée."

"Oh…"- And I felt a little embarrassed.

"You haven't seen her yet?"

"No, not since this morning."- He chuckled.

"Well, in that case you better prepare yourself, because she looks stunning."- My dad was the second person to tell me that, and I got even more curious.

"That's what Alice said. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I showed her the blue prints."

"You did?"- My dad asked surprised.-"What did she say?"

"Oh…She loved the idea dad."- I said beaming.

"I'm so happy for you, Edward."

"Thanks, dad."

"Well, I should go and give Alice and Rose a hug. We'll talk about this later."

"Sure."- My eyes followed my dad to the private entrance of the dressing rooms, and that's when I saw her and everything just disappeared, there was only her. My heart started to pound at the sight of her, our eyes met and she blush a little. As she walked in my direction I took in what she looked like. Her hair was full of curls that cascaded down her face, she was now just a few feet away from me and I could see that her makeup was light but it made her eyes look even more beautiful and her lips even more kissable. And her dress…God…it was just exquisite. It was dark blue, my favorite color on her skin, it had ruched bust with a floral one shoulder strap that encircled the front and winded through the ruching, over the shoulder. She turned to the side slightly so I could see the back and I think I lost my breath because that floral strap came over her shoulder and caught a back strap, and that was the only fabric that covered her back, the rest was bare. The bottom part of the dress looked like short mini baby doll skirt that fell in flirty layers of delicate chiffon. And her shoes completed the rest making her legs look longer. How I wanted to take her in my arms, caress those beautiful silky legs…and…the sound of someone clearing their throat made me snap back to reality.

"You better stop ogling my daughter like that or everyone is going to see the kind of thoughts that must be running through that gorgeous head of yours."- Renée said and I felt my cheeks burn and Bella laughed.

"Hello, Edward."

"Sorry, I just…God…you look so…beautiful and…I…"

"Thank you."- She said blushing. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down before I embarrassed myself even more, because just the sight of Bella was making my body react on his own accord.-"I think we're about to start. I need to get back to the dressing rooms. I'll see you later."- She said spacing her last word and giving me a smile filled with promises.

"Later."- I said.

I saw walk away from me and my body ached to be close to her. I really needed a drink.

"I'm going to get a drink, would you like something to drink?"- I asked Renée.

"No thank you. I think I'm just going to find my seat."- She said.

"Oh, Renée."- She turned around and I came closer to her.-"You look beautiful, I can see where Bella gets her beauty from. Sorry for not noticing before."- She smiled and blushed a little.

"Thank you Edward."

I walked to the bar and got myself a scotch; I took a little sip and let the liquid go down my throat warming me up on the inside.

"Hello Edward."- A soft childlike voice purred from behind me and I froze because the night had just became a nightmare.-"Did you miss me? Cause I really missed you."

I hope you liked it, and I you did please let me know by reviewing a lot!

So what did you think of Edward's plan for the future?

Who can this voice belong to? Why does she turn the night into a nightmare?

Please leave your thoughts…I'll try to finish the next chapter as quickly as I finished this one.
