Chapter 19

Our first summer: Part 1

(July)

EPOV

Second semester of college was finally over, summer time. Bella had saved enough to have some spending money for Orlando, she was looking forward to that trip, it was going to be great! And even though I can't see, I'm going to enjoy it; I can still go on the rides and take pictures. I actually do not care, I did it for Bella she is the only thing that matters to me.

Rosalie's pregnancy is going well, she is six months pregnant, the baby shower is in August. Her doctor was surprised that Rosalie hasn't had any of the typical problems with multiple pregnancies, and she told her that it was possible that the babies were going to be born on their due date in October.

Bella wanted to make a birthday party for Alice and I, she asked mom about it and she agreed, (yeah I couldn't believe it either). So it's going to be at Bella's house, it's a beach party and all three families are invited, even Bella's dad is coming with Bella's friend Jacob. She also invited uncle Eleazar and Aunt Carmen with the girls. Alice and I were having a luau since Bella's house had the beach behind it she was going to have the access gate opened so everyone could enjoy it.

I was looking forward to that, our last birthday party was when Alice and I were nine, it had been a combined theme; superman and wonder woman, mom made us the costumes and it had been the best party ever.

The day for the trip was here, Rosalie had told us that her OB gave her the clear and allowed her to go, although she asked Rosalie to have a wheel chair available for the parks in case that she got tired, so Carlisle asked for permission at the hospital and they lent him an electric one that they used for stay in patients.

Carlisle also rented a van for the six of us plus all the luggage so he asked for an 8 people van, so we could all fit comfortable. Rosalie and Emmett left their car at Carlisle's house, they came by and picked mom Alice and I up, we then went to Bella's house where she was waiting with Jasper.

Before they got in Carlisle decided to assign seats; Bella, Jasper and I were going at the back row, while Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett had the front row, Rosalie sat on the door side in case that she had to vomit or stop to pee she could make an easy exit. Mom was in the front and Carlisle was pilot and mom the co-pilot. Carlisle had the route dialed on the GPS and we were ready to go, it was 8:00am in a Sunday morning.

"Orlando here we go!" Alice exclaimed, we all clapped and got comfortable, the van had individual radios and a DVD player, we all chatted amicably for a while on what we expected to see and the places we all wanted to go, Rosalie was already thinking on lunch while she was eating a fruit salad.

Bella asked me if I wanted an apple, I told her yes so she gave me one form her cooler bag with a bottle of water.

After that Bella took out her iPod and an attachment so the both of us could hear it at the same time. Bella rested her head on my shoulder, while I took the hand that was rested on my thigh, we threaded our fingers while we listened through her playlist.

Halfway through it the both of us fell asleep.

Alice awoke us, it was near lunchtime and we were going through the drive thru at a McDonalds, we got to have a bathroom break but we decided to just stop to use the bathroom and eat in the van, we all got in again and Carlisle made the line to the drive thru which was less crowded than the line inside, he said that he was paying for lunch Bella didn't wanted him to pay for her but he insisted.

Carlisle ordered for Emmett and Rosalie first, and geesh they ordered a whole lot of food, they had food for five people…oh wait they were actually five, rose and Emmett and the triplets. Then Alice just asked for two snack wraps and a berry smoothie with yogurt, Jasper wanted an Angus burger with wedge fries and an Oreo Mcfflury. Bella ordered a big Mac combo with a fruit n' yogurt parfait, I simply asked for the 10 chicken Mcnuggets combo and a cherry pie. Then Carlisle ordered for him and mom. After that we went on the road and I do not know how Carlisle drove and ate at the same time, Bella laughed and told me that it was possible since she did it all the time.

After lunch, Alice the wise had brought a movie and she put it on, Carlisle connected the sound system to the DVD and we could all hear it, and that's how our afternoon on the road went.

We made two more pit stops to use the bathroom and we bought snacks at the gas station while Carlisle refilled the tank, I got potato chips and an icee and some candy, while Bella had some Doritos, a vanilla cream soda, and some peanuts m&m's. I don't even want to know what Rosalie an Emmett got, we were all already used to it. Believe me a pregnant angry craving Rosalie is not pretty, or so Bella and Alice tell me.

There were only two more hours left on the road, we weren't going to any of the parks tonight but we were going out to dinner and maybe watch a movie, we were all staying on separate rooms at the beginning but Carlisle talked with the people who auctioned the trip and they changed it to a penthouse, Carlisle, mom, Emmett and Rosalie pitched in to pay the difference.

AN: (the trip was only for four)

The penthouse came with three bedrooms a common room, two bathrooms, and a small kitchen area for quick breakfasts. Mom told me and Alice something about going to the grocery store and getting some snacks, cereal, milk and drinks to keep at the kitchen and some water.

We arrived at the hotel and unloaded the mountain of bags, Alice herself had brought 2 ½ bags and she expected me to do the same but I didn't give in, I just brought one and a sort of carry-on, that was all I needed, plus my backpack with my laptop all the chargers and some books.

We checked in and our luggage was taken to our room, they gave us four copies of the keys, but Carlisle paid for an extra key, now there was one for each couple and one for Carlisle and mom. We rode on the elevator and entered the room, mom tipped the bellboy and he left.

"We are finally here!" Bella and Alice squealed together their excitement evident. Sometimes my girlfriend spent way too much time with my beloved sister. But actually their excitement was rubbing off on me…

BPOV

Alice and I sat on the couch of the common room; we were waiting for room assignments, although I had an idea of how this was going to go.

"Emmett and Rosalie will get one bedroom, which is connected by the bathroom of my bedroom which I will be sharing with Jasper and Edward." Carlisle said, and all of us nodded.

"Bella and Alice will share one room and Esme will have the last one for herself, those rooms are also connected by the last bathroom.

"Boys our room is downstairs, girls your room is upstairs. Also upstairs there's a mini terrace with an outdoor dining room and seating so we can enjoy the view, you can actually see magic kingdom from there." Carlisle added my eyes lit up when he said that.

"Okay, lets fresh up and we'll meet here in an hour to go have dinner at…Golden corral!" Carlisle said, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper grinned. I took my bags and followed Alice upstairs, Esme was behind me, and it was an understatement that this was going to be weird.

As soon as I got into the room I took out my phone and snapped a picture of the view, I texted it to mom, Phil, and dad; then with my camera I also took more pictures.

"Isn't it pretty Bella?" Alice said standing beside me, "yeah it is" I told her.

"This is great! The last time I went to Disney was when Edward and I were four" she told me, I knew this already; I saw the pictures Esme has on the living room.

"I went with mom when I was six, and then dad took me when I was ten. It's been nine years since my last time." I told my best friend and sister.

I turned around opened my suitcase and got my outfit ready, I took out my bathroom necessities too, and headed to the bathroom; I knocked just in case and then showered quickly.

I dressed and got out; Alice went in from Esme's door, she had obviously been in her room. I was going to let dry my hair naturally; I just applied some curling cream and put on a headband. Then I put on light make up and some gloss, and then put on my new sandals, I then snapped a picture of myself and went out of the room.

Carlisle was downstairs already changed talking on the phone, "yes…okay, can it be brought now? Fantastic! Thank you" he placed the phone on the cradle and smiled at me.

I was ordering a futon for the room, Jasper said that he would sleep on it" Carlisle told me, he came to take a seat beside me.

"I'm guessing that you are ready?" he asked me, I nodded.

"Thanks for coming Carlisle" I said to him. "Oh Bella, don't worry, I needed the vacation plus I also knew that Esme wouldn't let Edward and Alice come alone."

"Yeah, she would have had a fit." I said sourly, Carlisle smiled and patted my hand. "Give the woman a chance, please?" he pleaded with me.

But why would he be pleading on her behalf? Could what Alice suspects be true?

"Of course" I told him smiling.

"Hey Carlisle…I wanted to ask you something" I started

"Yes Bella, what can I help you with?"

"Is there anything that can be done for Edward, I mean is it possible that he might see again?" I asked.

Carlisle looked at me. "I knew this question was coming sooner than later, well Bella Edward's case is very complex; his corneas received severe damage and they were mutilated. I'm doing the best I can, I do not know about now, but maybe…perhaps in a few years I'm sure that by then I would have figured something." He told me, I nodded.

"Edward told me that, he needed a cornea transplant but that they haven't found compatibility in seven years, is that's why he and Esme say that it's impossible for him to be cured?" I added

"Yeah that is another matter, I've been studying his case very close, and besides the transplant he will need a laser surgery procedure to ensure that he will have at least a approximate to a 20-20 vision." he explained to me.

"So it's a possibility then? He is not a lost cause?" I asked.

"No one is a lost cause Bella, have faith. I will make Edward see again" Carlisle said with determination.

"Thank you Carlisle" I said hugging him.

We went to the movies after dinner and we had a good time, we even had a chance to pass by the grocery store, and get some essentials. We were all buzzing with excitement when we got back to the hotel. Tomorrow we were going to magic kingdom; we were going to be there all day.

Edward:

That morning we got everything ready and got dressed in haste, everyone had cereal for breakfast except for Rosalie who Emmett woke up thirty minutes early and made her oatmeal and fruit salad with cottage cheese and a cup of tea.

After that we headed out the door and to the first park, Magic Kingdom. Bella was at one side of me, Alice at the other jasper beside her, mom, Carlisle, Rosalie and Emmett were in front of us, Rosalie had woken up tired so she was on the electric wheelchair. At the park, Alice mentioned that Rosalie wasn't the only one with a chair; at least she didn't have to feel alienated. She couldn't get on most of the rides though because she was too far along, but she said she didn't mind, she came with us because she wanted to do something relaxing and fun before the babies came in and she would have no time at all…

Since we were at magic kingdom when they opened in the morning we had the opportunity to go to the whole park, we were going to be there until they closed at ten at night, we went to trough main street USA, we took pictures and got in a few rides as we made our way to the Cinderella castle and fantasy land, we spent most of the morning there, we went to the Cinderellabration show, Alice and jasper got in the teacups ride, while Bella and I went to Cinderella's carrousel ride mom and Carlisle went in with us, Emmett and Rosalie went in to all the quiet indoor in the dark rides, Bella and I went in to two. It was really fun, I could sense the energy from everybody, and the excitement from the people it was amazing. Now we were seated at Pinocchio's Village Haus, we all ordered salads, soup, and three pizzas, half of one was just for Rosalie. After lunch we headed to Tomorrowland, straight to the indie speedway to ride racecars, I got in one with Bella, it was actually fun, we raced against Jasper and Alice, mom and Carlisle got a car for themselves, Emmett raced Carlisle. Rosalie was in charge of taking pictures.

Then they got in the indoor rollercoaster, I declined because my stomach unsettled a bit, I had had a big meal. Then we went to the buzzlightyear ride. We took some pictures around the park and then we headed to Mickey's Toontown Fair; there we made some major character greeting, and we visited Mickey and Minnie's houses. I knew that Bella had a good time, she was laughing and being herself, I didn't need to see to know that she did, the energy and happiness that she was irradiating were contagious, I had smiled all day long. Everyone was having a good time, even mom.

Bella:

The day had been awesome, everything is like I remember it and more, I'm glad Edward is here with me, although he can't see, I know he is enjoying himself. I love him so much, I'm glad that Mrs. Esme is giving me a chance, but I'm not trying to get her to like me, I'm just being myself.

After Toontown we headed to Liberty Square, there we went to the hall of presidents and did more character greeting, and got on the river boat. From there we headed to Frontierland we visited the railroad rollercoaster and the tom sawyer island, then we had some fries and we made our way to Adventureland.

We went to the Robinson's house and to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, Alice, jasper and I went in the Aladdin ride, and before we left Magic Kingdom we had ice cream and slushies at Sunshine Tree Terrace.

Back at the hotel room Edward and I were in the living room with everyone else but we were sitting at one of the couches, he was spread out on my lap while I read to him the next book from the immortal series, I definitely loved the books, you never know what Ever Bloom is going to encounter next, its exiting and it has a romantic side too with her mysterious boyfriend Damen Auguste.

I couldn't wait for tomorrow, we were going to spend half of the day at Epcot. We went to every single attraction there, Rosalie didn't go in all the rides, and she was a bit tired from yesterday. After Epcot we went to Animal Kingdom for a scheduled safari and then we visited Disney-MGM Studios Park. After we got out of the park we went out to eat at "on the Border" and then we watched a movie and played a board game at the hotel, tomorrow we were going to wet n' wild.

There were only two places left to visit we went to downtown Disney for some relaxed time, then we played some golf, and three hours before going home we went to Typhoon Lagoon. I admit I was tired, I needed to rest before we went to Universal Studios and Island of Adventure so de next day we had a SPA day and then we went shopping. That evening, Esme and Carlisle told us that we were going to go dinner to a fancier place from where we have been going the past few days, so I dressed in a blue one shoulder dress and paired it with silver heels and some accessories.

I blow-dried my hair straight and did a fancy ponytail, I applied light makeup and some lip-gloss. We all looked nice, but the dress Rosalie wore showed that she was very pregnant alright.

Dinner was going alright and it was comfortable, we had been talking about the upcoming party for Alice and Edward and also of Rosalie's baby shower, Alice and I were going to help her and Emmett get the nursery going, we were Rosalie's friends here she had let them all back in London.

"Everyone, we have something to say" Carlisle announced as he and Esme looked at each other, Edward turned his attention to them, I could see Alice bouncing in her seat. Jasper looked curious and Rosalie and Emmett were expectantly looking at Carlisle.

"What's going on dad?" Rosalie asked concerned.

They didn't say anything, "mom?" Edward asked.

"Ah, Esme and I are…we are" Carlisle stumbled. Esme looked at her and gave him a smile, okay that was confusing…

"Carlisle and I are a couple, we are dating I mean" Esme finished for him.

I did notice that they looked at each other a lot and whispered to the other, why didn't I see it? Was it because she and I don't get along that well…? Alice's eyebrow shot upwards as she smiled, jasper looked down and then he looked at me, Alice was right, there was something going on between them.

"That's amazing mom, I knew it!" Alice broke the silence, Rosalie went to her fa5her and hugged him, we all did the same and congratulated them.

"How did it happen?" Rosalie asked, "Well sometimes Esme came to my office, but we mostly talked on the phone or saw each other for lunch or breakfast" Carlisle replied.

It figured because Esme never left before dinner or anything, she had spend her nights as usual, if something on her habits would have changed Alice would have noticed.

That's why he asked me to give her a chance, because he was seeing the real her, from that moment on I saw Esme with different eyes. And I was going to do my best on getting my relationship with her to be good; for her sake, mine and Edward's.

"For how long has this been going on?" Edward asked.

"Just a couple of months, it was nothing serious until just two weeks ago when Carlisle labeled it, that's why we decided to tell you now" Esme explained.

"Well I'm really happy mom; you have been alone far too long. It was time. And for the record, I'm glad that it was Carlisle" he said smiling in their direction.

"Thank you Edward, Alice" he told them, they both smiled at him, the rest of the night was pleasant.

The next day we woke up early and had breakfast at IHOP, Rosalie had more than pancakes, she almost ate the entire menu, nah I'm just kidding.

Edward:

We were all dressed in our Harry potter fashion since we were going to Island of Adventure and we were spending four hours or so at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Park. This is the reason why I bid on the trip, just for this park section, just because Bella wanted to come see it after being a fan for so long. I have read the books but didn't have a chance to finish all the movies, they started after I got blind so I didn't have the opportunity to experience the book coming to life on the big screen.

But I wasn't going to let that stop me, for Bella I would do anything. She was everything I never thought I wanted, but she has become an essential part of my life, I loved her she was my best friend, she cared about the me inside and didn't look at me different because I was blind. That's why she is so amazing; I don't know what I would do if I ever lost her.

Bella:

We were finally at the park! Finally I was entering The Wizarding World of Harry Potter; the place was packed with people dressed in character costumes and their preferred house of Hogwarts colors. I was wearing a Gryffindor shirt, Esme was wearing a black shirt that said 'I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good' it was funny, although she didn't get why we were laughing and then we explained her that's what you had to say in order to open the Marauder's map which I had in my hands, of course this one was of the park; telling you where everything is, it was absolutely awesome.

We headed for Platform 9 ¾ and saw the Hogwarts Express, it was majestic, black as night with its crimson and gold details; we could go inside and watch the interior, marvelous I tell you. I was in a daze of amazement and I haven't even seen the whole park yet. After that we headed to Hogsmeade, the village that the Hogwarts students visit. Which as the castle was enchanting and real, we went into every shop all of them like in the movie, I loved Honeydukes, the candy shop, and I bought a bunch of the iconic candy and some memorabilia.

I couldn't wait to get inside the castle so we headed that way, once inside we explored all the seven floors and I did jumped once or twice when the holograms appeared out of nowhere, it was funny, there's one time caught on tape, yes Jasper brought his video camera and was capturing every single detail. I was unbelievable how accurate everything was inside; I felt as if I wasn't in Florida anymore but in London inside the story, they caught every detail, I couldn't believe it.

Everyone was mesmerized, even Esme who haven't either read the books or watch any of the movies. I think the park made her want to see them, I heard when she whispered it to Carlisle and he laughed, he admitted that he saw until the fourth one; he had just missed two, not bad.

We saw everything, all of the characters and iconic props where there, the holograms made it all more real, my jaw hurt from all the smiling, laughing and gasping I was doing. It was surprise after surprise, I felt like a five year old inside that castle. After the tour we got in line for the Forbidden Journey, which is a ride that makes you feel as if you were having an adventure with Harry and his friends.

After that we followed the path and got in line for the Flight of the Hippogriff ride which would take us over the pumpkin patch and Hagrid's Hut. We all got in the ride except for Edward and Rosalie. I got a bit of jitters after we got out of that ride and followed the map towards the dragon challenge, those rollercoaster's looked awfully big and I admit I was a bit scared, but it was just a little. I made the line with the others; I could hear Carlisle whispering to Esme that she didn't have to go on it, he pointed out that she could stay with Rosalie and watch from the ground. She was telling him that she wanted to do it, since she had never done something like it before.

Edward did come with me on this one, Rosalie stayed behind with our bags and Edwards cane, she got the cameras to take pictures and record everything. We got in the cart and I told Edward to not let go of the handle bar, and I checked that we were secured tightly. I can't even begin to describe what I felt while I was up there, it was exhilarating, fun, but I felt like I wanted to hurl all at the same time. I looked at Edward once and he was grinning from ear to ear, I was so happy I've never seen him so carefree before, for a few moments he looked normal, although he is normal to me always. I don't care that he can't see, I love him for whom he is, and he is one of the best things that have happened to me on my nineteen years of life.

After we got out we headed back to the park and went into The Tree Broomsticks to rest and have something to eat, of course me being the ultimate fan I ordered a butter beer and to be honest it tasted like butterscotch candy with soda, it was crazy good!

That night Edward and I were out on the terrace of our room, we were listening to music and just hanging out, just the two of us.

"Thank you Edward" I whispered.

"What do you thank me for love?"

"For making this the best summer ever" I replied with a smile, Edward brought his finger to my lips and traced them.

He sighed, "I would trade everything that I have just to be able to see your smile right this moment" he admitted, I took his face in my hands and told him, "I promise you Edward, that one day you will, one day you will be able to see me and everything around you. I'll make sure of that, even if it's the last thing I do." I vowed to him.

"I love you so much" he said kissing me, we kissed for a moment

"I love you too"

Our summer was just beginning, I couldn't wait for the rest of it, I knew that everything was going to be amazing, and I wanted Edward to be there right beside me to enjoy it.

Well there you have it! Part two is on the woks... See ya all soon.
