One:
Bella Cullen was perched on the pure white sofa with her daughter, Renesmee Cullen and her husband, Edward Cullen.
"Bella, darling, I think it's best that Renesmee gets to bed soon, don't you agree?" Edward purred as he looked over to Bella with a raised eyebrow.
"No, Daddy, I want to stay up!" Renesmee pouted. She looked over to Edward hopefully.
"Ness, you need your sleep." Edward reminded her.
"I'm not tired yet." Renesmee pleaded as she stifled a yawn.
"Okay, how about this? Daddy will play you once song on the piano and then you'll go to bed." Bella negotiated.
"Fine." Renesmee sighed as Edward walked over to the piano, ready to play her a song.
"Bella, do you have a minute?" Rosalie asked as she floated into the room, her golden hair streaming behind her.
"Sure." Bella agreed, easily, as she stood up from the couch.
"Bella, Alice and I wanted to know if you and Edward wanted to come out with Emmett, Jasper, and us tonight. We're going out someplace, it was Alice's idea." Rosalie asked.
"I'd have to ask Edward…and Ness---"
"Esme and Carlisle will be here to watch Renesmee for you." Rosalie cut in helpfully.
Bella thought over the offer carefully. It would be fun to go out with Rose, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. But she had been planning to just sit in for the night, perhaps read a little, watch Renesmee sleep, listen to Edward's music.
"Where would be going?" Bella asked after some time.
"Hmm…Emmett was thinking this new movie theater. But Alice was leaning towards going out dancing. I agree with Emmett on the movie and Alicejust wants to go someplace "upscale" so that she can show off her new ice blue satin dress." Rosalie giggled.
"Edward and I will come, I'll just go grab my coat." Bella responded as she darted up the stairs, ready to retrieve her dark brown jacket from Edward's room, where her closet was.
"Alright, sounds good." Rosalie grinned, genuinely thrilled that Bella would be joining them on the outing.
"Bella, you're coming, right?" Alice beamed as she danced into Bella and Edward's room.
"What?" Bella asked as she ripped her jacket off it's hanger and flung it on.
"Oh my God, Bella!" Alice gasped as soon as Bella stepped out of the closet.
"What?" Bella asked, her eyes widened in horror, afraid that something was dreadfully wrong. She racked her brain for things that could be off…maybe she saw something…something dreadful…perhaps something was going to happen to Edward or Renesmee. She felt herself preparing for the worst, ready to break down in tears at any moment.
"That is not what you're wearing tonight, is it?" Alice gasped, still horror-stricken.
"Alice!" Bella chided, growing angry.
"What?" Alice demanded, her hand on her tiny hip.
"This is about an outfit?" Bella practically spit. All of that worry.
"Yes!" Alice responded, still obviously, fuming about it.
Bella rolled her light gold eyes in surrender. "What do you want me to wear?"
"Oh, yay! I get to dress you!" Alice clapped her hands with glee as she stepped into the closet in Bella's room.
"Hmmmm…" Alice muttered as she sifted through the clothes.
Bella waited patiently for Alice to select something that she would deem appropriate for the night's festivities.
"Let's go back to your and Edward's house. You do still have the clothes I gave you, right?" Alice asked, her eyes boring into Bella's head, challenging her.
"Yes." Bella replied with a vigorous nod of her head. She knew for a fact that everything that Alice had given her along with the beautiful, quaint house that Esme and Carlisle had given her was still there. In fact, mostof it was still untouched.
"Let's go then." Alice smiled and the two ran over to Bella and Edward's house with an unnatural speed.
"Come on in, we have absolutely no time to spare." Alice urged as she opened the door to the house and raced in, past every room until she reached the gianormous walk-in she'd insisted be put into the house.
Bella reluctantly followed and sunk onto the bed as soon as the reached the bedroom. She sat unmoving as Alice ransacked the closet.
"Ooo!" Alice grabbed a lavender strapless dress out of the closet and showed it to Bella, excitedly.
"Alice…" Bella began to protest.
"Come on, Bella, Edward will love it, trust me." Alice encouraged as she threw the knee-length dress at Bella.
"Fine." Bella grumbled as she stripped out of her light jeans and gray T-shirt.
She pulled the satin dress over her body and combed her fingers through her now slightly messy brunette hair.
"Here, let me fix it!" Alice insisted as she ran over to wear Bella was standing. She grabbed a heavy, gold hairbrush off a nearby nightstand and ran it through Bella's hair several times. She then pulled it up into a messy bun, leaving a few strands hanging in Bella's face, she put two light wood chopsticks in Bella's hair, to keep the hairdo in place.
"You look perfect." Alice informed her with a proud smile.
Bella looked at herself in the mirror. She was still, even now, shocked by the beautiful face that looked back at her in the mirror. It took a lot of getting used to, this new gorgeous face. She had to continuously remind herself that now she was a vampire, like Edward and was therefore beautiful. It wasn't so much that she forgot that she was beautiful, it was just that she forgot how beautiful she'd become.
"Thanks, Alice." Bella sighed as she put on the thin purple high-heels that Alice had just handed her.
"And these, too." Alice gave Bella a small, purple shrug with quarter length sleeves to wear over the dress and a tiny, beaded lavender clutch.
"Thank you." Bella accepted the two accessories and pulled the shrug on.
She hadn't even know that the items were in her closet.
"Now. We can go, then." Alice grinned. She was already fully dressed, of course, in the satin ice blue dress that Rosalie had mentioned. She wore it with a pair of incredibly high silver shoes and held a satin baby blue clutch in her left hand.
When Alice and Bella arrived back into the Cullen's all-white living room Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were all waiting for them.
Rosalie was lounging on the white sofa in a short, glittery, strapless, silver-sequined dress. Her long blonde hair was worn down and she her shoes were silver and looked even higher than Alice's.
Jasper, Emmett, and Edward were all wearing black pants with matching black jackets and crisp white blouses underneath.
"Bella." Edward murmured, taking in the astonishingly beautiful sight of his wife.
"Edward." Bella whispered back as she wrapped her thin arms around his neck.
"You look beautiful." He complimented her just before he kissed her.
"Are you two done?" Alice snapped, staring at them impatiently.
"Oh, right." Bella released him, embarrassed.
"Let's go!" Alice demanded as she stomped her foot, petulantly.
"Where are we going?" Edward wanted to know, as he casually buttoned his coat.
"Um, dancing." Alice replied.
"Alice!" Emmett whined, obviously angry that they weren't going to a movie.
"What? Did you honestly think Bella, Rose, and I dressed up to go to a movie?" Alice snorted.
"Um, I wouldn't actually mind going to a movie." Rosalie put in, siding with Emmett.
"Me neither. I'd prefer it." Bella quickly told Alice.
Alice gave her a cutting look.
"Uh, but dancing could be fun, too." Bella quickly backpedaled.
Emmett sighed. "Traitor."
"No! I mean, ugh, whatever." Bella rolled her eyes and threw her hands in the air, exasperated.
"Where we go dancing?" Edward asked curiously.
"Well, there's this glorious ballroom that has a live orchestra and…" Alice trailed off as Emmett interrupted her.
"No way!"
"Then why, my I ask, did you get dressed up?" Alice demanded.
"Because I saw Rose in that silver dress." Emmett shrugged.
"Whatever." Alice angrily stomped her foot once more.
"Why don't we go….um…see a play?" Bella suggested, hopefully.
"Hm." Alice thought about it for a moment.
Rosalie and Bella exchanged a hopeful glance.
"I mean, it does have some promise." Alice finally decreed.
"So. Can we?" Rosalie pressed, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder.
"Wait, what play? And is it opening night?" Alice turned to Bella.
"Well, I saw that both Hairspray and To Kill A Mockingbird are opening tonight. Personally, I'd like to see To Kill a Mockingbird, but that's just me." Bella replied, smoothly.
"But that's so….dreary. Dull, really." Alice wrinkled her nose in disgust.
Bella sighed. "We don't have to see that one."
"I'm all for Hairspray. Seeing fat people dance around while the sing, sounds hilarious." Emmett laughed thunderously.
"Alice, it doesn't sound bad. Plus, people dress up for opening nights of shows." Jasper tried to sooth her.
"Oh, alright." Alice surrendered.
"Well, thank God, we've decided. It only took about twelve hours." Emmett groaned.
"It was about twelve minutes." Alice corrected, snidely.
"Whatever, it was exhausting." Emmett complained.
"Can we just go?" Rosalie asked with a huff.
"We are going, Rose, calm down!" Alice screeched.
"Me? How about you?" Rosalie yelled back.
"Girls!" Esme scolded as she entered the room with a sleeping Renesmee in her slender arms.
"Sorry." Alice apologized meekly.
"Hm." Rosalie glared at Alice and tossed her sleek hair over her shoulder.
"Rose." Esme warned.
"Fine. Alice, I apologize." Rosalie told her, for Esme's benefit.
"Thank you." Esme smiled and laid Renesmee out on the couch. She then put a cream, cashmere blanket over her little body and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, Esme, for taking care of Nessie while we're out." Bella smiled.
"It's not a problem, Bella." Esme assured her with a warm smile.
"Let's just go already!" Emmett moaned as he reached for the door handle.
"We are! Love you, Esme, Carlisle!" Alice called out as she swung open the door.
"Love you!" Rosalie yelled as she followed Emmett outside.
"Bye, thanks again!" Bella and Edward then exited as well.
….
Melinda Gordon sat on her bed, ready to get into bed and read for a while before she went to sleep.
"Hey, Mel." Her husband, Jim Clancy yawned as he entered the room and sat on the bed beside her.
"Jim, hey." Melinda smiled at Jim, lovingly.
"You ready to go to bed?" He asked.
"I was going to read for a little bit first but if you want to…" Melinda shrugged.
"No, I was planning on reading a bit, too." Jim grinned and took his book off of his nightstand.
"What're you reading?" Melinda peered over at the thick, gray book in his hands.
"Sherlock Holmes." He laughed.
"For what? The two thousandth time?" She giggled and took out her own reading material, People magazine.
They settled into the silence and both became absorbed in what they were reading.
"Edward. Edward. Edward." A low, female voice whispered.
Melinda gasped. "What?"
"I didn't say anything. Wait, what's going on?" Jim snapped his book shut and looked at Melinda, seriously.
Melinda brought her finger to her lips, silencing him.
"Edward. Edward." The voice continued.
"Hello? Come out, it's okay." Melinda goaded.
"Where is EDWARD?" A beautiful woman appeared in front of her. She had beautiful, long bronze hair and striking green eyes. She was thin and seemed to be covered in a sheen of sweat. She wore a loose, cream dress and was barefooted.
"Are you alright? Who's Edward?" Melinda asked of the ghost, anxiously.
"Where…." She whispered as a final word before she vanished.
Melinda looked around, wishing for the woman to reappear. At least now she knew what she had to find out. She needed to discover who Edward was and why this woman wanted to see him.
