Chapter 9
(1 week later)
"Let's go! Let's go! I want to pick up our prom dresses sometime this century!" Alice called out from the living room. I groaned. "Bella, I have an amazing dress for you! You only have to try on that specific dress, I promise!" Alice said. "Ok, fine, but if you decide to go to an accessory store I'm coming home!" I shouted back to her. I walked into the living room, hand-in-hand with Edward. "Mommy! Can I come too?" Renesmee asked running down the stairs. "Of course sweetheart!" I said opening my arms at the exact moment she jumped into them. "Yay!" She squealed. She had one of the most beautiful laughs I have ever heard. It was like a million little hi-pitched bells. "We are going to take your Volvo Edward so we can lay the dresses out in the trunk. And no, you can't come with us! I want you to see the dresses on the night of!" Alice said to Edward. "Alice, it's not like wedding dresses! Why not?" I whined. "Because they might rip the dresses if they see them..." she trailed off. "Oh, I see." I said. Emmett came down the stairs laughing like crazy. "Ha! We would never do such a thing Alice!" Emmett managed to yell out between laughs. "Well, never mind." He said after a second of thought. "Fine! You can take the Volvo Alice!" Edward shouted out. "Thanks! That's why you are my favorite brother!" Alice squealed. "Hey! I'm a better brother then him!" Emmett shouted out."No, you are not! You never let me use your car! Goodbye!" Alice yelled. Alice hopped into the driver's seat, Rose got into the passenger seat, and I got in the backseat with Renesmee. "We will be there in 30 minutes!" Alice squealed. The ride to the dress store we sang songs and played games like I Spy. When we got there I unbuckled Renesmee and we went inside the store DNKY. "Go to the dressing rooms in the back!" Alice called out while heading to customer service. Rose took Renesmee and Alice handed me my dress. I slipped it on and looked at myself in the mirror. It was gorgeous. It was a deep blue with 4 wavy layers. It was strapless and went down to the middle of my thigh. It showed off my legs and marble skin better than I thought possible. I only took 6 seconds to look at myself when Alice called out,"Bella! Come on!" I opened the door and walked out to where they were sitting. Alice squealed and clapped her hands together, Rose gasped then smiled, and Renesmee whispers, "Mommy! You look so pretty!" I walked over and picked my little nudger up and smiled, "Thanks sweetie." I said and kissed her cheek. "Bella! You look amazing!" Rosalie gushed. "Thanks Rose!" I replied, beaming from ear to ear. "Yes! You look fantastic! I knew you would! And I know for a fact that you actually like the dress! And so will Edward! Now put these on!" Alice squealed. She handed me black stilettos with a blue rhinestone on each shoe, matching earings, and a silver necklace made of diamonds. "They make you look all the more stunning Bella." Rosalie said after I put them in. "They sure do! Now go change back into your clothes! It's Rose's turn!" Alice said. I nodded and changed back into the clothes I had on earlier today. Rosalie came out of her dressing room and looked fabulous. She had on a red dress on. It had a heart shaped strapless on the top half and a red frilly bottom half. It went down to the middle of her thighs. Around her stomach was a white diamond belt. She had silver hoop earings and a ruby shoes were silver pumps with one ruby on the tip of each shoe. "Rose, it's perfect!" I said. Her smile got even bigger when Renesmee said, "Aunty Rose looks like a princess!" Alice smiled and said, "Absolutely!" I turned to Alice and said "Last but not least!" Alice smiled and headed into the dressing room a minute later she came out with her dress on. It too had a heart shaped top half, but unlike Rose's red silk, Alice had millions of diamonds on the top. She had one black strap on her left shoulder. The bottom half look exactly like a black tutu, except it had a few diamonds here and there. It went down to the middle of her thigh too. She whore black ankle boots and a pair of diamond earrings. Her necklace was made out of black and white diamonds, strung together to go every other. "Wow! Alice you look great!" Rosalie said. "Aunty Alice, you look like a ballerina!" Renesmee squealed. "Alice, you really do look amazing." I said. "Thanks everybody! after I change I am going to go pay for everything. Bella you are going to have to shield us when we head home so Edward doesn't know what we are wearing. Once we are home, Rose and I will do hair and makeup! Got it Bella?" I nodded and said to Renesmee,"Don't show Daddy, Emmett, Jasper, Carlise , or Esme what we did ok? We want to surprise them." She nodded and smiled. Once Alice was done paying we got into the car and laid our dresses out in the trunk. When we got home I gave Renesmee to Edward. Alice, Rose and I grabbed our bags and ran up the stairs to Alice's bathroom. They straightened my hair and put my makeup on. Rose's hair was curled into little ringlets and Alice put Rose's makeup on. Rose curled the ends of Alice's hair and did her makeup. Once we were ready we walked down the stairs. Rose, then Alice, then me. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I looked up and saw Edward. I was glad I no longer needed air to survive because what I saw took my breath away. He was wearing a black suit with a dark blue tie. I looked around and saw that Emmett had a similar suit and a red tie on. Jasper had a black suit and a silver tie. Alice must have matched us again. Edward leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "Bella, you look amazing." I looked at his face and saw my favorite crooked smile plastered across his face. He took my hand and put a blue corsage on my wrist. Emmett put a red on on Rosalie's and Jasper put a white one on Alice's. I looked over to see my daughter in Esme's arms. Edward and I walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. "We'll take good care of her, don't worry. Go out and enjoy yourselves tonight." Esme said. "Thanks" I replied and hugged her. I linked my arm through Edward's as we walked to the garage. We got into his car and he popped a CD in. I immediately recognized it as my lullaby. I looked over at him and smiled. He leaned down and kissed my forehead and before I knew it we were in the school parking lot. He turned off the car and opened my door for me, "Always the gentlemen." I said while laughing. He flashed me a crooked smile and linked his arm in mine. "Shall we?" he asked. "Yes, we shall." I replied laughing a little. We walked into the school with Alice and Jasper, and Emmett and Rose. Once we got into the gym, all eyes were on us. Edward growled at what I assume were bad or inappropriate thoughts. "I only love you Edward." I told him and he calmed down a little bit. "Will you do the honor of dancing with me?" He asked. Despite my fear of dancing in front of people, I agreed. I heard Emmett and Jasper ask their wives to dance too. Everyone made a path way for us towards the middle of the gym. Waltz music came from the speakers. "Oh God no." I muttered under my breath. I heard 5 people laughing quietly. Edward leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry Love, it's all in the leading." He flashed a crooked smile and we started dancing. "Bella, you can actually dance without falling on your face!" Emmett said to quietly for human ears to hear. Every member of my family laughed except for Edward and me. "That wasn't funny Emmett!" Edward hissed, glaring at his favorite brother. Emmett shrugged and continued dancing. The song came to an end and half the student body applauded and the other half scowled in jealousy. "Well, I didn't fall in my face so I guess I kind of had fun..." I announced. "Congratulations Bella!" Jasper said. I received a pat on the back from Emmett and a smile from Rosalie and Alice. We walked over to a table and sat down with punch in our hands. "So, Edward, Emmett, Jasper do you guys like our dresses?" Alice asked. "Hell yeah!" Emmett shouted while looking at Rosalie. Jasper looked over at Alice, gulped, and nodded. Emmett laughed and patted Jasper on the back. Edward looked over at me and said,"Could you stand up?" I raised my eyebrows but did what he asked. "Hmmmm." he said. I laughed and slapped his arm. "Hey! I'm just enjoying the view..." he said innocently. "Ha ha! Go bro!" Emmett said. "Bella, beautiful doesn't even cover how amazing you look." Edward said. I smiled and said, "You're not to shabby yourself, beautiful husband of mine." I said as I leaned over to kiss him. "What?!" someone shrieked. I ignored her and continued kissing my amazing husband. "You two are freaking married!" she screeched louder. Edward moved his lips against mine harder and faster. "Hello?" the voice said again. 'God! Will she just go away already?' I thought to Edward. He chuckled but continued kissing me. "Hey!" she screamed even louder now. Edward murmured against my lips,"What?" "What?! You guys are married and all you have to say for yourselves are 'What'?" I realized I was sitting on Edward's lap with my legs around his waist, which made my dress go higher up my legs. Edward noticed it at the same time I did, he looked down and smiled then looked up again. He helped me off his lap. I stood up and he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Yes, if you hadn't noticed, we were kind of busy, so I said what." he replied. "Well why the hell are you married? Did she tell you she was pregnant, because if she did she was obviously lying because she is skinnier than a supermodel!" She yelled. My whole family started laughing. "We are married because we love each other, which I thought was obvious. And no she's not pregnant. You could say I'm a bit old-fashioned. I believe that you should marry someone before you do... intiment stuff. So even if she was pregnant it would be ok because I married her first. I married her because I would rather die than be apart from her." Edward said and kissed my cheek.I heard a bunch of "Awwwwwws" from the watching audience and my siblings."Y-You L-Love that?" she said pointing to me. "Yes, she is the most beautiful, kind, caring, smart, amazing person I have ever met." He said. "Uggggggg!" she screamed stomping off. "I'm not the smartest person you've ever met Edward." I said while laughing. "When it comes to certain things you are." he replied with a smile. That night at prom we continued to talk amongst ourselves and then went home to spend time with Renesmee. We never did learn the screeching girl's name.
