Chapter 15

BPOV

Today was a great day and a bad day. Bad day, because it was the last day of spring break and we had to go back to school tomorrow. It was also a bad day because Edward had to go hunting.

It was a good day because Tanya was leaving. Unfortunately, so was Kate. Kate has become super close to me. I learned that she got to meet Jane Austen, the writer of my favorite novel. She even had a Pride and Prejudice copy that Jane Austen herself had signed. She's that old! I freaked when she showed it to me. She gave it to me, claiming she had another with her autograph on it back in Alaska.

"You better keep in touch," Kate said, hugging me.

"Definitely," I said.

We hugged one more time and she moved to say goodbye to everyone else. Tanya came up to Edward and I. Sophie was upstairs taking a nap.

"Eddie, are you sure you don't want to come back with us?" Tanya asked, trying to drape on him, but I blocked her before she could come within two feet of him.

"No, Tanya. I'm staying here with my mate," Edward growled. Tanya pouted.

"Please? We could have so much fun," Tanya said. I stepped up in her face then, being brave.

"Look, bitch. He said no," I snapped. She glared at me.

"Watch your back, human," she threatened.

"Oh! I'm so scared!" I said sarcastically. She glared even more and stomped off.

Once the Denali's were gone, Edward turned to me.

"Sorry, love, but I need to go hunting," he said. I could see his eyes darken as he spoke. I smiled.

"Go have fun," I said, kissing him.

He smiled and followed Emmett and Jasper out the door. I sighed. Great, I had a huge open Sunday. Alice came up to me, smiling.

"What?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing," she sang. She had an evil glint in her eyes. This pixie was up to something.

Before I could even process what she was doing, she had me in the backseat of her Porsche. Rose was in the passenger seat and Alice was in the driver's seat, with the house disappearing behind us.

"Where are we going? Guys, what about Sophie!" I panicked.

"Relax, Esme is babysitting. We're going shopping!" Alice said, bouncing in her seat, which scared me since she was driving.

"NO!" I said, dramatically, covering my eyes. "Kill me now! Bite me and suck my blood! Anything but shopping!"

"Oh, shut it, Bella. You would think I was shoving bamboo splinters under your nails," Alice said, rolling her eyes. (A/N: That line sound familiar?? J Hint: Breaking Dawn, Book 1)

I huffed. There was no getting out of this. I sat back and closed my eyes. Before I knew it, I was getting drug through the mall by two hyper vampires.

Alice and Rose drug me into lots of stores. They would pick some stuff up, shove it at me, and then tell me to try it all on. It was exhausting! It went on for hours!

"Alice, can we got home now? My feet are killing me. And I really would like to relax," I said after the twentieth store.

"Stop whining, Bella. We got one more store," Rose said. I groaned as they dragged me again.

When we reached the store, I froze.

"No, no, mhuh, mhuh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hell no. No, no. I refu- no, no!" I said, trying to yank my arm free. (A/N: Haha, I got that from Cop Out!!)

But they ignored me and drug me in anyways. Stupid strong vampires.

Alice threw me some underwear sets. How the hell did she know my size? I looked at the back of her head with a crazy look on my face. A little girl who was with her mom, looked at me, then burst into tears. The mother glared at me, but I was still staring at Alice.

She turned around, tapped her temple, then went back to being crazy. Rose pushed me into a dressing room. I tried everything on, blushing when they made me come out so they could see.

"I'm going to go wait outside while you finish up, Alice," I said, heading for the door.

"I'll go with you," Rose said. We walked out and sat down on the fountain ledge. We were silent at first, until I broke it.

"So, Alice goes crazy when she goes shopping," I said. Rose laughed.

"Oh, please. You should have seen her in the Mall of America in '99. You think this is bad, she was ten times worse then. Fifteen hours straight," Rose said.

"Whoa," I said.

"Alice will be Alice," Rose said.

Just then, we saw a little boy running up to the fountain next to where we were sitting. Him and his mother were talking quietly and we watched as the little boy threw a penny in the fountain. I looked at Rose and saw her looking longingly at the little boy.

"Rose?" I asked, touching her hand.

Her head snapped back to me.

"Sorry, Bella. Just thinking," she said.

"About what?" I asked.

"About my human life," she sighed.

"What about it?" I asked.

"What could have been if I didn't become what I am," she said.

"I'm confused," I said. She smiled sadly at me.

"When I was human, Bella, there was one thing I wanted in life. One thing I desired the most. A baby," she said.

"A baby?" I asked.

"A baby," she confirmed. "It was all I wanted. And I was so close to getting it. You have no idea. See, I was engaged to a man named Royce King. My father worked for his father and we met. Royce took a liking to me, and honestly, I didn't care because I knew he could give me what I wanted. And we got engaged. But it was all ripped away from me," she said.

"What happened?" I asked.

"When I was walking home from my friend, Vera's house one night, I saw Royce out with his friends. I regretted not calling my father to come get me when I saw that they were drunk," she said.

I realized what was fixing to happen, what she was going to say.

"Oh, God. Rose, they didn't" I said, disbelievingly.

"They did. They left me there to die. Carlisle smelled the blood and came running. He changed me," she said.

"And?" I asked.

"And, I learned that vampires can't have children. And I was heartbroken. Well, until I met Emmett," she said.

"Oh, Rose. I'm sorry," I said, hugging her.

"When I learned you had a baby, I was jealous. You can't believe how jealous I was. Now, I regret that because you're really nice, Bella. I like you. You make my brother happy and you made this family whole," she said. I smiled at her.

If she only knew the truth behind my pregnancy.

"Well, being pregnant is not all that fun," I said, lightly, trying to cheer her up. "You look fat all the time, you have to buy a whole new wardrobe, you have the weirdest food cravings, like peanut butter and spaghetti, and you have someone playing soccer with your insides. And you have to pee 24/7," I said.

It worked. She laughed.

Alice came out then, carrying some bags. Rose and I rolled our eyes.

"Come on, Bella. We got to get you home," Alice said. I gladly got up and followed her out the mall.

After packing everything up, we headed for my house.

"When we get there, Edward will be in your room," Alice said.

I smiled, glad I would see my love soon.
