I walked into our room and my jaw dropped. Garment bags were scattered everywhere. Each had a piece of paper taped to it with a name. I found 2 with my name on it. I unzipped the one that said ceremony. It was a knee length cocktail dress. It had a high neck and was a beautiful midnight blue. I slipped it on quickly and turned to see Edward leaning against the wall across the room from me. I smiled and walked over to him placing a quick kiss on his lips, "Did you and the boys finish all of the decorations?"
He nodded, "Yes we did. It looks amazing. Just think of what Alice could do with more than a day's warning."
I kissed him again, "Good. Go take a shower, and put this in your hair. It will temporarily make your hair dark brown. Then get dressed."
He kissed me again and walked into the bathroom. I walked downstairs to find someone for me to dress. I decided I would do my hair and makeup later. Alice was running around like crazy. She was in a business suit with her hair and makeup still not done. She smiled in relief when she saw me, "Bella, I need your help. There is a group of florists and a rental company coming. They will be here any minute, but I need to finish getting dressed. I need you to wait down here for them to get here. Lead them to the back yard. They will set everything else up. The tables and chairs and buffet bar. They will also set up in the living room which I have already cleared out. A music rental company will be here around 9:30. That is in 1 hour. They are bringing the instruments, speakers, and other stuff. You need to tell them how you want things set up on the stage."
She looked a little panicked. I pulled her into a hug, "Relax, Ali. I will handle things down here. Carson can help upstairs with the makeup and hair. Once everyone is setting up, I will go upstairs and help with dressing people. Everything will be fine."
She laughed, "When did you become so clam in situations like this?"
I smiled, "You will be amazed at the situations we run into when we are on tour."
She nodded and went upstairs to get ready. Angela walked in wearing a red strapless cocktail dress. It was stunning. She smiled at me, "Alice said you were doing my hair and makeup."
"In the dining room is a green box. Inside is a blond wig with curls that go to the shoulder. My makeup kit is under the table. Put on the wig and bring me the makeup."
She nodded and disappeared into a doorway. I walked upstairs to put my own wig on. It was the same color as Carson's hair with curls that went mid-back. I walked downstairs quickly when the doorbell rang. I opened it smiling, "Please tell me you are the rental company."
I stared in shock at the woman in front of me. She smiled, "Hello. I am Jessica Newton. I was hoping to talk to someone about how they got in touch with the Cullen family about having the wedding here. I work for a real estate agency in Port Angeles. We have been trying to contact Mr. Cullen for some time now."
Before I could say something, Angela walked into the room holding the wig and makeup kit asking me, "Bella, can you help me with this? I can't get all my…"
Jessica walked right passed me, "Oh my God, Angela? Angela Webber? It can't be. You died in a car accident with Bella Swan 10 years ago. Even if you lived, you would be almost 28 now. Wait," she turned to face me, "she called you Bella. Can it really be?" She pulled on the wig which I hadn't pinned down yet. It came off easily allowing my mahogany hair fall down my back.
She gasped, "It can't be possible? Bella Swan and Angela Webber died. You can't be standing here, but it all makes since. They didn't find bodies in the truck. You two faked your own deaths."
I couldn't think straight. Before I could stop myself, I said, "Well, I am not Bella Swan anymore, and she isn't Angela Webber. She hasn't been for almost 10 years now."
Just then Edward came down the stairs in jeans and no shirt. His hair was wet, "Love, how do you use this gunk. The instructions aren't in the box." He looked up and froze behind me, "Jessica."
Her eyes widened, "So that explains how Charlie got in touch with them."
Edward whispered in my ear, "Bella, is your shield out?"
That is when I realized I hadn't pulled my shield back in from when we were in the meadow. I nodded, "I guess I didn't pull it back in after the meadow."
He smiled and kissed my cheek, "That explains why I didn't hear her."
I pulled the shield in and Alice instantly gasped upstairs. I saw Carson walking out of the kitchen, "Carson."
She came over to my side and touched my arm to tell me, 'Can I call you mom around her?'
I looked to Edward who nodded slightly. Carson smiled and said, "Yeah, Mom?"
"Go check on your Aunt Alice. She is probably freaking out again. I have never seen her act this way about a wedding or any party for that matter."
"Whatever you say, Mom. Dad, can I see my dress now?" she said tying the puppy dog eyes on Edward. He laughed, "I said later." She smiled a crooked smile identical to his, but hers looked much more innocent, "But it is later, Daddy."
I laughed, "Don't pull he Daddy card on him. He is new to this Daddy thing. He won't be able to resist. Now, do what I said and go check on your aunt. Then, go do the girl's makeup."
"Fine," she grumbled, "but, can someone tell me where Carter is. I haven't seen him all day."
Angela smiled at her, "He and Ben went to Seattle to pick up drinks for tonight. I will send him up when he gets here."
"Well, that sucks," she said and went upstairs. Angela turned to me, "Has anything changed with them? I mean, they have hardly been apart for days, and when they are, all they do is ask for the other one."
I smiled, "They are experiencing the glory of true love. They have finally embraced it. They fought it for so long, but not anymore."
She looked like she was about to explode with happiness, "They finally told each other that they love one another."
I nodded though it was not a question, "I remember the day I first told Edward I loved him, though we didn't really say those exact words."
He laughed slightly pulling my back against his chest, "I remember the words exactly. It was the first day you saw me in the sun. I said 'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb'."
I smiled, "I said 'What a stupid lamb'. You added in 'What a sick, masochistic lion'."
Angela smiled, "That is so romantic. When we were in high school, I would have never thought that Ben and I would have a son who would fall for the daughter of Edward and Bella Cullen."
Just then Jessica cleared her throat, "Did you guys forget I was here confused out of my mind? What happened all those years ago?"
"Jess, come sit down in the kitchen with us. I have to do Ang's hair and makeup, and Edward has to go put the goop in his hair so it will look brown. I'll get you some tea."
Edward walked up the stairs and Jess followed us into the kitchen. I sat doing Ang's makeup and talking with Jess about her and Mike's marriage, their kids, and our old friends. We talked for a while. I told her that she couldn't tell anyone she saw us. She promised she would keep it a secret, but I didn't want to take a chance. When I finished Ang's makeup, I had Angela compel Jessica to forget about us being there today. When she left she only knew that we were the wedding band and that Alice Hale was the wedding planner.
AN: I have made a few changes to the wedding party. Billy will be the best man and Seth will be the one to give Sue away.
Do you think something is wrong with Alice?
Why is she so emotional?
Does Bella have another gift?
Should the wedding just go on with no more problems?
