So, here's the NEWEST chapter. I have a cold at the moment, so it might be a bit, well, crappy. Hahaha.

I KNOW I haven't updated in forever, but I'm doing it now.

This chapter's going to be from ALICE'S POV, so I'm excited about writing it.(;

BTW, my computer has some sort of virus, so I'm SUPER sorry if FanFic or whatever messes up with this chapter. My new story seems to be fine, so let's hope that carries on to this story as well.

Also, if you get the chance, read my newest story, Old Friends, New Lovers. It's Edward/Jasper, so if you're not into that kind of stuff, don't read it. Hahaha.

-I don't own Twilight, I just like to make the character's squirm.

I thrashed around in my bed, trying to get comfortable for at least a few moments so I could go back to sleep. I could faintly hear Bella's breathing beside me, deep in slumber. With a groan, I sat up and ran a hand through my short hair. Today was the day that Bella and I were supposed to catch a flight to New York where my parents currently lived. It was about two weeks ago that my parents had requested that I bring my new girlfriend with me when I visited. I looked down at Bella and smiled slightly. She was, without a doubt, the love of my life. We hadn't known each other for very long, but I could already tell that she was someone I would never be able to live without.

I glanced at the clock and groaned. Five AM. Oh well, might as well start to get ready. We had to leave for the airport around seven, so I figured that now was as good a time as any to take a shower and what not.

Slowly and silently, I climbed out of bed and grabbed a pair of sweatpants out of my dresser, along with an old t-shirt. Moving slowly, I shuffled into the bathroom and stripped off my pajama's, then climbed into the shower. I turned on the water, enjoying the feeling of it's coolness running along my naked body.

My fingers ran along my body on their own accord and traced the scar across my abdomen. It was small and barely noticeable, about three centimeters long, but I knew it was there. It was a constant reminder of everything I'd given up so many years ago.

As always, my thoughts began to wander to the baby girl I'd never gotten to hold. Was her hair brown or blonde? Were her eyes blue? Was she happy?

A tear rolled down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away. I heard the alarm clock go off so I quickly washed my hair and body and jumped out of the shower. Just as I was wrapping a towel around my torso, Bella walked into the bathroom and smiled at me.

"Hey, Al," she said with a grin.

I smiled slightly and gave her a quick peck on the lips, then dried my body off. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched as Bella hopped in the shower and washed her body.

Her body wasn't scarred with the reminder of the C-Section she'd gotten after she'd been raped. Bella's body was perfect to me: her small but full breasts, her long legs that seemed to go on for miles, and don't even get me started on her fingers. They could work wonders.

I giggled a bit and got dressed. "Hurry up, babe. We need to leave in about 45 minutes," I called over my shoulder as I went back out to the bedroom. I stripped the sheets off the bed, put on fresh ones, then finished making the bed. A messy bed was a pet-peeve of mine since I could remember.

I walked over to the large mirror on my wall and lifted up the bottom of my shirt, glancing at the bathroom to make sure that Bella wouldn't catch me. I turned my attention back to my reflection and ran my finger along the familiar scar.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, little one," I whispered.
"Who're you talking to, Al?" I heard Bella say as she walked into the room.

I immediately pulled my shirt down and spun around to face her. "Myself," I answered quickly, then shook my head. "Uh… No one. I was talking to no one," I amended.

Bella laughed then walked over to the mirror and fixed her clothes. Out of habit, I fixed her hair for her then brushed some lint off of her clothes.

"Thanks," she murmured.

I nodded then walked over to my suitcase that I'd packed a few days before. Bella followed my lead and grabbed her bag. I smirked and glanced at the boxes of her stuff that was still in the corner of my apartment. She'd officially moved in a couple of days ago and hadn't gotten the chance to unpack just yet.

We brought our bags down to my car and tossed them in the backseat. Bella ran back up to the apartment, locked the door, and then came back down. We got in the car then we were off to the airport. I pulled into the drive thru of McDonalds and ordered a couple of breakfast sandwiches for us.

When we got to the airport, we carried our bags in, went through the check things, then got on the plane. Our seats were in the middle, towards the back of the plane. I, of course, was placed next to an old man who snored almost the entire flight.

The only thing that kept me from almost going insane was Bella's hand in mine. Her fingers played with mine and I watched them. The flight was relatively quick, then we were in New York.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I knew my way around New York quite well, and I even knew how to get a taxi. Needless to say, we were in front of the apartment building where my parents lived in no time. The place was quite high class, so there was a man, about my age, who worked for the building who helped us with our bags. We went up to the top floor and I looked around the penthouse suite.

"Damn," Bella breathed, "This is some apartment…"

I laughed and headed into the middle of the living room.

"Alice!" my mother, Esme, yelled as she ran towards me from the kitchen. I jumped into her arms and snuggled into her familiar arms.

"I've missed you so much, Mommy," I murmured.

"I know, baby. I've missed you too," she whispered.

I let go of my mother and turned her to face Bella. "Mother, this is Bella Swan: my perfect, beautiful, and loving girlfriend," I said proudly.

My mother walked over to Bella and gave her a tight hug.

"Welcome to the family, Bella."

Bella grinned at me and returned my mother's hug. After several seconds, they released each other.

"Where's Dad?" I asked curiously as the man set our bags down by the couch, then left.

"Your father will be home soon," Esme replied, "He's working at the moment, but he should be back by dinner." I nodded and grabbed Bella's hand, and then led her into the guest room where we'd be staying.

"My parents are pretty cool when it comes to sharing rooms," I said as I sat on the edge of the bed, "As long as we don't make too much noise, my parents wont be mad."

She laughed at that and walked around the room. "Is Emmett coming?" she asked.

I nodded and let out a sigh. "Yes, and he's bringing his whore," I replied.

Bella laughed again and walked over to me. I automatically placed my hands on her slim waist and pressed my face into her breasts.

"I love you," I murmured.

"I love you too, Alice," she whispered back as she ran her fingers through her hair.

AN: YAY! There it is!

The next chapter will probably be longer, but I don't know when I'll be updating again.

Anyways, hit that green button and review, bitches.(;
