“C’mon Emmett! It’s time to get going,” Jasper called as he exited the room.

He had been helping Alice get things ready for her overnight move into my house. The wedding was tomorrow and Jasper and Emmett were taking Edward out. Of course, they would only be gone for a few hours. Alice made them promise to be home by midnight – and the way she said it implied they would not be left in one piece if they were even a second late.

I had been sitting on the bed for the last eight hours. Alice was constantly running around, most of the time faster than I could see, to get different clothes, products, and decorations. She came to me several times for my opinion on different things, but I know she didn’t always listen. Jasper was forced to participate, but the rest of the family had managed to escape the work. Rosalie, Esme and Emmett went hunting and Carlisle was at the hospital. Edward was not allowed to leave his room until Jasper and Emmett were ready to take him out. Alice claimed seeing anything before it was finished would completely ruin the effect.

Carlisle had come home half an hour ago, and the hunting party just stepped through the door. Jasper was more than enthusiastic to take Edward and Emmett out. I pulled away from Alice while she was distracted. There were a few things I had to ask them before they left.

“Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You’re not taking him to a strip club, are you?”

That was certainly not something I wanted them to do, nor did I want to know if they were going to, but I had to ask. The thought of Edward seeing other people made me increasingly self-conscious and having any one seeing him was beyond embarrassing. I knew he wouldn’t though, he was the most virtuous being ever.

Emmett’s booming laugh coming from his room made me jump in surprise. Even Jasper was trying not to laugh.

Two cold arms wrapped around my waist and I relaxed into Edward’s grasp, still blushing from my question. Several kisses were placed along my cheek and neck.

“Edward, get away from her!” Alice screamed. I cringed at the volume and tone of her voice and briefly wondered if Edward would be one piece on the honeymoon.

In response, the kisses stop. I whimpered softly at the loss – I would have to go an entire day without him. At least his arms did not pull away, and for that I was thankful. Hopefully Alice had gone back to work.

Still laughing, Emmett stumbled out of his room. “No, Bella. You can have Edward all to yourself,” he said.

I blushed further at the thought. That was definitely the wrong question to ask. And I knew Emmett would never let me live it down.

Behind me, Edward growled, warning Emmett to the new trouble he was in. Looking back at a still laughing Emmett, I figured he was unafraid. This was not going to end well – whether in my favor or his, I was still unsure.

“Even if we were, we wouldn’t tell you,” Jasper said, winking and then pointing at a Rosalie-occupied room.

“Over my pile of ashes.”

The venom dripping from Rosalie’s voice told me Emmett was not allowed any where near strip clubs. I had yet to find out Alice’s opinion, then again, Jasper couldn’t hold Edward well enough to get him in, so I was saved from that event.

I turned to see the beautiful face behind me. He was still scowling at Emmett and Jasper. When he realized I was looking, he smiled and bent down to place one last kiss on my forehead.

“I love you, see you later.” And with that, he ran out the door followed by Jasper and Emmett. This was going to be a long night.
