Hot Damn, Charlie Swan!

Monster

"Right lay back on the top step, prop yourself up on your hands, one leg bent, the other straight out, put the hat on over your knee. Right look down the length of the garden and think about her, how much you love her, want her, need her! Hot damn Edward, that's fucking sexy and we're done!" I tell him smiling widely.

We spent the next couple of hours in the darkroom, he was stunned by his own image, just messing his hair and showing off some skin had made him totally different. So I told him to bin the jersey and only do up two of the buttons for going home. We planned for me to send the pictures once dry, to E. Cullen. That could only be her, him or Emmett, but, if they were in a tube she'd think they were blueprints and open it first. He needed to be close by to see her reaction and the rest was up to him, I said. Telling him to take it slow, ask her to go shopping, for new clothes for both of them or at least him first.

With him alone and start subtly showing her how he felt. I asked Edward about the pulling feeling I had, he smiled,

"That's the mate's pull, Bella! It will only get more intense, don't ignore it like we have, if we didn't live in the same house it would probably have been hell by now, do you think Alice knew that? Anyway give your heart freely, you deserve it" he told me as he was leaving.

Alice

Something is going on, why can't I see a definite future for anyone! Not one of them has made a decision about anything, wait Jasper has, he's leaving until the wedding, going to that barbarian Peter's! How can this be, they can't get around my gift! It must be that little tart's fault; everything was going to my plan until she showed up! Oh, Edward's back from getting his photos taken, bet he looked like a schoolboy in them all, ha-ha!

'What's he done? His hair it's different, where's his jersey? Why is he showing all that skin?'

No, no! He can't do this to me; Esme will see him, shit, too late! I don't understand, why is it all going wrong!

Edward

Alice is so distraught she's not even trying to guard her thoughts; I knew this was her doing, why? What did Esme and I ever do, for her to be so cruel! She looks up at me and frowns, then rushes off shouting,

"I'm going hunting, by myself" little does she know no one wants to go with her anyway.

"Esme? I was wondering, would you go shopping with me soon, for more, No better clothes!" I ask and she nods as if in a daze, I refuse to look in her head, so smile and say,

"Thanks, you're my angel!"

I don't miss the tiny gasp and smirk to myself, I feel hope, for once I feel, we have a chance.

"Now that Alice has left, I can tell you all about Miss Swan, she's a shield! I couldn't read her either, but it was not the blankness that a normal human gives off, but more of a blank space where she should have been. I've seen that before with Renata, so she's a shield!" I say and the others appear, from all over the house,

"Wow, that's cool," Emmett says appearing from the garage carrying Rose,

"Yes, we won't know until she's changed if it's both defensive and offensive, but for now it's mental only, Jasper can you affect her emotions?" I asked seeing him come down the stairs carrying a bag and his guitar,

"Don't know, didn't need to try, she's so damned chilled it wasn't needed, unlike her father!" He answered laughing,

"I'm off, be back for the weddin', Alice thinks I'm goin' to Peter's, but I'll be close by okay, emotions are runnin' kinda high round these parts!" he tells everyone and heads out,
