A/N: Wow; you people make me feel so special with your reviews!! You rock! And, after much consideration of the results of the poll...I have decided the name and gender of Alice's baby...but you won't find out until later!!
Oh, and I'm sorry it took so long to update; state testing and laziness...
Oh, btw...another poll! it is very important so go on my profile and vote!
Now on with the chapter!
Princess Isabella's POV
I woke up; No big deal. I woke up every single day and every single day started with the same empty feeling. That same dream that always ended too soon and that same disappointment of not waking up to Edward's face...
"Good morning." I said just below a whisper; "Edward-I love you." I think some part of me actually expected response, because my heart crumbled when no one answered. If only he knew how much I really thought about him...
Edward's POV
I wasn't sleeping; I hardly ever did anymore. I wasn't tired (you know, being in eternal rest and all). So, I usually spent my time watching Bella. And the more I watched her, the more I realized how much I missed her... how much I missed her smile, her voice, the soft touch of her skin...
"I love you so much." I said out loud; I really wanted nothing more than to be back on earth with her, for just one day. To make her understand how much she really means to me and how much I really love her...
And then, the idea dawned on me, just like that; Maybe I really could visit earth...but that, was going to be a difficult task to accomplish... ... ... ... ...
Princess Isabella's POV
Wake up, eat breakfast, go find Alice. That's pretty much my whole morning, right there. It was tedious and boring until I finally reached my sanctuary, away from Jacob and away from the cruel reality.
"Bella." Alice greeted me happily as she sat next to me on the bed. "I don't have any doctor stuff to do today...so do you want to go baby shopping?!" she exclaimed. I had to laugh at her enthusiasum.
"Alice! I think we got the baby everything it could possibly want and more! What else do you need to buy? No, scratch that; What do you want to buy?" I chuckled.
"Well..." she laughed maliciously. "There are a few things..."
I sighed. "Let's go." And that's how I spent my day; Shopping with Alice was usually a treat for me. Sure shopping got on my nerves, but it not only kept me busy, but it kept me from thinking about Edward...
Because somethings, were just too painful to think about.
King Jacob's POV
I knew I had things to do, like I did everyday. But like everyday, I felt to consumed by the guilt, that followed me like a shadow everywhere.
Even 8 months, I still felt so terrible that I had hurt Bella so much. Sometimes, I would wonder if it would be better to just tell her Edward is dead, hope she forgives me and can finally be happy. A few times I even convinced myself that the only reason she isn't happy because she won't let herself; because she'd feel guilty because she still thinks her husband is out there somewhere...if only she knew.
But then, I would always remember how fragile Bella is and how learning all this would crush her little heart...she might even hate me more that she already does...(even though I'm sure she probably hates me more than anyone can hate a single person...)
It's just that every single day just made me so angry at myself and so upset at how things were between me and Bella. I loved her, and she knew that. But sometimes, it was so obvious that she didn't love me in anyway.
Every moment we were together, every moment I watched her while she didn't even glance my way, every silent night we spent together...made me want to go back in time and just...change every thing I'd done wrong.
But I knew that was impossible.
A/N: SORRY that this chapter is so short; My brain is fried from testing and I am having a creative brain-fart at the moment. Anyway, review and if you have any suggestions, they would be much appriciated!!
