So it has been forever since I have updated and for that I am sorry. But without a computer that was kind of hard to do. Then I began a job I absolutely hated and it kept me away from home for long hours. Then I met my prince charming (Yay!) and he kept me away for even longer hours. And after a short whirl wind romance we tied the knot (Funny enough he picked out my ring all on his own and it is a pink saffire surrounded by diamonds! Pretty similar to Bella!) and I moved 400 miles away from everything I know to be with him. Now that I am subbing full time I have much more time to write and my wonderful husband bought me a laptop for Christmas! So I promise that I will try my best to start writing on a regular basis again! Now that we have covered that I think it is time to get on with the story! I know that some of you were disappointed that Bella decided to forgive Alice so I tried to make more sense and explain why she decided to make that choice. I hope you begin to see my way! You know the drill, none of these characters belong to me, they come straight from the mind of Mrs. Meyers!
"Edward, she is my friend and I know that everything that has happened between her and Jasper would make it seem like I should never speak to her again in your eyes but I see it differently. In my eyes she is just a girl who was confused and in love with a boy that some girl stole right out from under her. She cannot help what she was feeling and she tried her best to ignore it as long as possible but once he began to return those feelings she was lost to fight it. I don't blame her and if she wants to spend her life with a little boy of a man who ignores his responsibilities and runs around with other women that is her problem." It was really hard for me to explain why I wasn't holding a grudge against the woman that stole my husband. After all I didn't quite understand it myself. All I knew was that I didn't want anything to do with Jasper but I really missed my friend and I couldn't make myself hate her.
"So what happens when she decides she wants to try to mend things between you and Jasper and tricks you into going to see him? Or offers to babysit so he can spend time with the baby? Forgiving her is just opening the door to him. Are you going to be able to forgive him? Are you going to be able to trust her?" Edward asked imploringly. I could see his side of the whole thing but I trusted Alice not to betray me again.
"She made a mistake and she knows how it ended up. She knows I will not stand for her betrayal again. She knows I want nothing to do with Jasper and she is going to respect my wishes. But baby, I miss her terribly. I love you and I am so happy that I get to spend my life with you but I need her too. There is a hole in my life that can only be filled by her. That is just the way it is. You do not have to like my decision but I expect you to respect it." I explained, not leaving any room for negotiation. If he loved me as much as he says he does than he will want to see me as happy as possible. And that means having Alice in my life.
"If this is what you want than I won't stand in your way. You are my life and your happiness means everything to me. I just don't want to see you hurt again." He told me, moving in close to kiss my forehead. Then he turned to Alice who was quietly waiting on the couch. "You will respect he wishes not to see or speak to Jasper. He is to be in no way a part of her life. He is also to have nothing to do with our baby. If that is understood I will accept you back into our life without further questions."
"Oh, it is understood Edward! Thank you so much! I will not make any mistakes this time, I promise! I will take such good care of her as my best friend and I won't even mention his name! Oh, I am so excited!" She was practically jumping up and down with excitement. "Can we still go shopping? Or did you have dibs on her today, Edward?"
Edward couldn't help but chuckle at her eagerness. "You can take her shopping, Alice. She does afterall need some new clothes that fit that growing belly of hers." He said with a smile. "However I am making it your job to make sure she doesn't over do her self. You have to take care of that baby just as much as you take care of her." He said in all seriousness. He was going to be such a good father to our baby. I was beaming with joy to be in the same room as my love and my best friend and there was no fighting.
"I will keep her fed and relaxed and impecably dressed. I promise!" Alice said as she grabbed my hand and began leading me to the front door.
I resisted long enough to give Edward a chance to kiss me good bye. "I love you! Thank you! I will see you this evening! Bye Baby!" I practically shouted as I was pulled out the door in a whirl wind of excitement.
So I know that this was a really short chapter but I am just now trying to get back into writing. I am really excited that I get to start writing again! I hope that all of you enjoyed this chapter even though it was really short! Let me know what you thought and I promise to update again soon!
