-Bella's POV-

"Victoria? Who's that?"

She didn't answer. I was about to ask again what she saw about this...Victoria person, but she was already on her phone. A few seconds of silence went by before she said something that sounded like Carlisle. She was talking so fast I couldn't understand anything that she was saying, which mildly irritated me. About thirty seconds went by before she hung up the phone, and let out a breath.

"You going to tell me what's going on, or am I going to have to guess?"

"Nothing that you should be worrying about right now, hon."

"No, I'm not gonna let you do that. You looked anxious, and that's not good..."

"I don't want to ruin this weekend with something that will be dealt with after, so please. I promise once we get back home, I'll tell you everything."

"I hate being left in the dark, Ali."

"I know, but it's for your own good."

"As soon as we get home, you're telling me." I pointed my finger at her.

"I will. I never break a promise." She said as she pulled me close, planting a kiss on my cheek.

I hated this, but I cooperated because she asked me to. But seeing the look on her face didn't comfort me much. Something was definitely wrong...and I had a feeling it was because of me.

I lay awake in bed that night, going through all the possibilities in my head of what Alice's vision was about. She tried to take my mind off of it by whispering sweet things in my ear, which definitely worked for a while.

But finally about two in the morning she insisted I get some sleep, and by this time, I was so exhausted it didn't take me long. The last thing I remember was her arm circling my waist, pulling me close, and the feeling of her cold breath on the back of my neck.

/-/

"Happy Birthday." Alice whispered before kissing my earlobe.

Aw, crap...

I rolled over, rubbing my tired eyes...finding her watching me expectantly, the anxiety from last night nowhere to be found.

"Did mom tell you? I swear-"

"No she didn't tell me. I'm psychic remember?"

Right...

"I hate birthdays." I mumbled.

"Fine, I won't give you your present then..."

"Okay, I don't like getting presents anyway." I flipped over, shoved the pillow in my face.

"What? No, you are opening it, and you are going to love it!"

"Ali, you didn't have to get me anything."

"But I wanted to. Come on, open it, the suspense is killing me!"

She pulled the pillow from my face and shoved a square box in front of me.

"Fine." I sighed, sitting up.

She pushed some stray hairs out of my face as I began to unwrap the beautiful box.

"Alice..." I gasped as I took the box top off. "Is this...?"

"The one you were looking at the day we went shopping in Port Angeles? Yes...it is. I saw how you looked at it, and I thought it would be perfect to give to you for your birthday."

"It's beautiful...I love it."

"I told you you would."

"Shut up." I said as I grabbed the front of her shirt and pulled her in for a kiss.

I set the box aside as I fell back on the bed, taking her with me, wrapping my arms around her neck. It wasn't long before her hand found its way up my shirt, and didn't hesitate to cover my breast. This was more than enough to set me on fire, my heart now pounding, and my center pulsating along with it. I pulled away, knowing if it got any further we wouldn't be able to stop.

"We can't-"

"She's not here, and won't be back for another half hour." She cut me off and leaned in again.

After a hard kiss, her lips left my mouth, trailing along my jaw, then down my neck. I instinctively raise my arms, and she whips my shirt off with her vampire speed, like it was never even there, and starts pulling down my pajama shorts and underwear. Once off and out of the way, I spread my legs for her, waiting for her to come back up so I can get her undressed too.

But before I can say anything, her head was already between my legs, her cold tongue plunging deep into me, causing me to gasp.

My non-injured hand went to her soft hair, squeezing it in my fingers as her tongue slowly pulled out. Flattening it, she licked her way up my slit, barely grazing the spot where I need it most.

"Don't tease me..." I whispered.

I felt her smile against my skin before her she kissed her way back up my body, stopping to pay attention to my breasts. One hand cupped me, while her mouth occupied the other, kissing and nipping at the sensitive skin before continuing back up my neck.

Her teeth raked across my pulse point as her fingers started their decent down my body. The throbbing ache between my legs growing stronger, waiting for release.

"Please..."

Her lips captured mine once again as she thrusted a finger in me. I moaned in her mouth as I spread my legs wider. She got the hint and added another finger, upping her pace, my hips rising off the bed to meet her every pump.

"Don't stop..."

I swallowed hard as I hugged her body to me, feeling the tingle in my body grow fast. I squeezed my eyes shut as my walls tightened around her, twitching with anticipation.

I bit into the crook of her neck, muffling my cry of pleasure as I climaxed. My whole body shook as my hips rose off the bed one last time, before falling back weakly. Her fingers still worked as the waves washed through me, almost making me come again. Finally she stilled, and slowly pulled out. Panting, I kissed the spot where I had bitten, even though I knew it didn't hurt her in the slightest.

As I came down from my high, catching my breath, she planted sweet kisses all over my face.

"I think every day should be my birthday from now on..." I mumbled.

She giggled before untangling our bodies to lie next to me. "I can make that happen."

"Come back here, it's my turn." I pulled on her shirt, but she didn't budge.

"Today is about you, not me. Besides, you'll have plenty of other times to repay me."

She kissed my forehead before she got up off the bed and went into the bathroom, leaving me spent and naked on the bed. I heard her start the shower, and a few seconds later, she reappeared and looked at me expectantly.

"What?" I asked.

"I started the shower you, better get in there before the water runs cold..."

"Well, excuse me, I actually need time to recover..."

"Sorry, I forget. Oh, you humans get tired so easily."

"I guess another perk of being a vampire is lasting quite a while in bed?"

"Oh, yes. We can go for hours without stopping."

"Well then, I sure can't wait."

After a few minutes of resting, Alice finally pulled me out of bed and practically shoved me in the shower. By the time I got out, she was not in my room anymore, so I figured my mom had already gotten home. I changed into some clean clothes and made my way downstairs, still drying my hair with a towel as I went.

"There you are, Birthday girl!" Renee squealed as I came into her view.

Alice was sitting on a stool a the counter, preoccupied with something in front of her, while Renee was urging me to hurry up and take a seat. I did as I was told, and as soon as I sat down, Alice shoved a plate in from of me, and a face stared back at me. There were two pancakes that made the head, sliced bananas made the smile of the mouth, while the two eyes were made of huge chocolate chips.

"Happy Birthday. I did the bananas myself." Alice said proudly.

I smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks for breakfast, Mom, it looks delicious."

"You're welcome, honey. I can't cook much, but I can make a mean breakfast."

It wasn't until now that I realized how hungry I was. My stomach growled as I poured on the syrup, then dug in without another word.

"Here you go, Alice." Mom said as she placed a plate of strawberry syruped pancakes on the counter.

"Thank you."

"No problem, hon."

I slowed my chewing as I watched Alice cut a piece and take a bite, the expression on her face never changing, but I knew it must have been disgusting for her. She ended up finishing before me, and politely excusing herself to the bathroom. In vampire code, that meant "Hey, I'm gonna go throw this up now, bye!" Poor, Alice.

"I really do like her, Bella. You need to keep her!" She said once Alice was upstairs and out of earshot.

"Okay, Mom. I'll try..."

She cleaned up the kitchen as I ate, tossing everything in the sink to wash later.

"Wait here." She said as she quickly left the room.

I finished the last bite of pancakes, happily rubbing my full tummy as I licked the last of the syrup off my lips. She returned a few seconds later, holding a good sized, perfectly wrapped box.

"Mom, you shouldn't have."

"Whatever, just open it."

I eyed her, shaking my head, then doing as she said. I slipped the cover off to find a blanket made out of all of our old travel shirts.

"This is awesome, thank you." I said attacking her with a hug.

"You're welcome, baby. And now you can use it to keep you warm if you still choose to go to Alaska."

I sighed into her shoulder as she rubbed my back.

"Did you like the present Alice gave you?" She said as she released me.

Which one? Because I loved them both.

"Yeah. Did she show you?"

"Yes. She said she saw you looking at it when you two went shopping, and she went back and got it for you, how sweet of her!"

"You know, Mom, I'm starting to think you like her more than me."

"Don't be silly, Bella. You'll always be my favorite."

/-/

"Home movies!"

Oh, dear God...kill me now.

"Mom, didn't you torture me enough with the shopping yesterday?"

"This isn't torture, it's entertainment."

I sighed, as she popped in the VHS tape. Alice leaning forward, completely interested in seeing my embarrassing memories that were caught on film.

"Aw, Bella...you were so cute!"

"Were?" I whined.

"Sorry, you still are...very much."

"Mmhm..."

Forty-five minutes later came the last little piece of footage, and it turned out to be the most embarrassing one. It was when I was two and we went to First Beach sometime in the summer. Mom filmed Charlie, who was holding out his arms as I ran full speed at him. I ended up tripping on a small rock and face planting into the sand. Alice and mom both giggled, while I sunk into the sofa, hand hiding my face.

"Wait, for it..."

I peeked through my fingers to see a two year old me start to get up from the fall, to come face to face with a crab. My eyes went wide and I tried to get away, my legs not as fast as my mind, and I fell once again...face first into the sand. This time flipping over, making me dizzy. Sitting on my diapered butt, thinking the worst was over, when tide came in and knocked me on my back.

"Bella, you really can't catch a break."

"Here comes the best part."

I sunk deeper into the sofa, knowing what was coming next. The family still makes fun of me for it, to this day. Two year old me stood up one last time...my diaper sagging so low because of the water, most of my ass was hanging out. This time they burst out laughing, mom spitting out a little of her tea in the process.

"Oh, Renee...you have got to make me a copy of this!"

"Uh, no! Never, bad idea, I will kill you..." I threatened as I slapped her on the knee.

"Geez, Bells...have a sense of humor." Mom teased.

I stuck my tongue out at her and crossed my arms over my chest, pretending to pout. But my façade was taken down when Ali wrapped her arm around my waist, bringing me closer to her. I gave in quickly and cuddled with her, resting my head on her shoulder as we watched the end of the tape.

The rest of the day, Mom shared more embarrassing stories about me while making a cake for dessert.

Alice powered through another meal, with a smile on her face. She must love me a lot. But when it came to dessert, I don't think she could handle anymore human food.

"No thank you, I'm on a diet...but eat some for me." She said before closing her eyes and rubbing her temple.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, just have a headache. I think I'm going to turn in early tonight, I want to be well when we have to fly back tomorrow."

"Okay, feel better." Mom said as she gave her a quick hug.

"Thank you. Goodnight."

"Night."

We sat in silence for a few moments, both eating the cake we made.

"I guess she's still isn't feeling too well. Want me to send some Advil up with you to give to her?"

"No, she'll be fine once she gets to sleep."

"You should get some sleep too, big day of traveling tomorrow."

"Ugh, can't wait..."

"Go on, I'll clean up down here." She said before kissing me on the forehead.

"Okay, goodnight."

"Night, hon."

I raced back upstairs, ready to apologize for her having to endure another human meal, but when I got to my room, she wasn't there. I turned my light on and notice a small note sitting on my pillow.

Went hunting, be back in a few. -A

I took this time to use the bathroom, brush my teeth, and change into my pj's. When I came out of the bathroom, Alice was waiting for me in bed. I couldn't help but smile and run over to her.

"Attack hug!" I said and I jumped on her, knocking her over.

"Very cute." She responded before kissing my cheek.

"I know."

She lifted the covers and we both crawled in bed, getting comfortable rather fast. Tomorrow was going to be a long day with making the eight hour trip back, and Alice telling me what she saw in her vision.

We shared one more kiss before we entangled ourselves in each other, and I fell asleep.

/-/

Mom came in and woke us up around ten in the morning, so we'd have two hours before our plane left. And being the awesome girlfriend that Alice is, she had already packed everything back in our bags, aside from the clothes we were wearing now, and had set out the clean clothes in the bathroom for me. Thanks to her, we were actually ahead of time, so there was no worry about us possibly missing our flight.

Mom hugged both me and Alice tight before we had to go through security, but not before tearing up. I promised I'd come visit her again soon, and to bring Alice with me again if I could.

We boarded the plane without problem, as after we took off, I once again, feel asleep with my head in Ali's lap. I slept for a few hours, only waking up because there was a little turbulence. I decided to stay up from then on, so I wouldn't be up all night. I called Mom after we landed, so she knew we were safe, and headed to my house. When I got in, Charlie was nowhere, but Alice found a note.

Had to go to a few town's over to help with a case, not sure when I'll be back home. -Dad

"Good, I can leave him a note saying I went to bed, and I can lock my door so he won't know I'm gone. Now, do as you promised, and take me over to our house so I can finally know what the hell is going on."

A/N: Oh, bossy Bella at the end, lol. So yes, you will finally find out what is going on next chapter. Hopefully I'll have it ready to post soon, but until then, review please!
