Some People

AlyPOV

"Jane! You have to come!" I argued. Carlisle, who was checking on Bella, looked up and smiled in Jane's direction.

"Alice is right, go and enjoy yourself." He said as he turned his attention to Bella.

"I don't know….." Jane started, unsure like she was from the past minutes.

"Jane" Bella started and continued when she had Jane's full attention. "Please come or I'll be at the mercy of this pixie." She said with a wink in my direction. As much as I wanted to object, I refrained. Even with a playful message, she had a warm and inviting undertone. Suddenly it was decided. I jumped and caught Jane in a big hug; she let out a small cry. Jeez, so much for spending time with Emmett.

"Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!" I said again and again as I jumped around in glee.

"But how did you….?" She looked so cute with the confused expression on her face. My newest sister, I thought with a small smile.

"That's Alice for you." Rosalie spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Bella added with a small smile of her own.

"Alright, focus people." I bought everybody to the issue at hand. "Now Jane, you'll be needing a dress, you too Bella." While speaking my mind started planning a mall visit but I suddenly got a felling that I might not get my way with this.

JaniePOV

"No shopping!" Bella and I exclaimed at the same time, out tones filled horror as if Alice just asked us to commit a felony instead of simply going shopping with her.

"Guys!" Alice protested. Bella and I turned our tortured gazes to the only person with the power to prevent it. Carlisle.

"I agree, no shopping Alice. Atleast not with Bella." Carlisle finally decided to step in and save the day. He straightened as he continued "she's still recovering. If you want her at the party then I advice you not to put her though anymore strains. And after what happened today, I want you to be even more careful with her. Jane knows her courses, so I suggest they stay together." he finished with sheepish smile in Alice's direction. In that playful moment, something changed. I realized that Carlisle maybe my stepfather, but his love for me was like that of father for me.

"Alright, no shopping." Alice sighed in defeat.

RosiePOV

"Come on Aly, it's getting dark and Bella needs her rest." I interjected before Alice finds another loophole to force Bella and Jane in going shopping with her. "We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye Bells, take care." I waved timidly in her direction which earned me one of her warm, inviting smiles. Only my sister, I thought with a shake of head.

"Yea, see you later Bella!" Alice all but exclaimed as we made our way down the staircase. Just as we the bottom, Esme called us.

"Thankyou girls." She said misty eyed as she embraced us both.

"What are you thanking us for, Esme?" I asked in a muffled voice for my mouth was partially hidden in Esme's sweater.

"For everything you've done for my Janie." She said as she released us. "She would've never broken out of her shell had it not being for you girls. Thankyou for supporting her."

"There is no need to thank us Esme. And besides, she's our new sister."Alice announced in bright tones.

"Plus, I'm sure Bella would be thoroughly pleased to have a non shopaholic in the group." I added. Alice sended a quick glare in my direction.

"Is Bella alright?" a worried Edward asked as he emerged from the living room.

"Oh for the hundredth time, she's fine!" Alice replied as I gave him a sympathetic smile. Here's this fool who doesn't realize that he is in love with the selfless creature we call our sister, and then there's this stupid girl who is shy enough to keep her feelings from this brooding brother of ours. Alice and I glanced at each other and silently, a message was conveyed.

Sorry for the delay.
