Chapter 19 Fulfilling the Bet

The next morning

Carrie's POV

This morning I was wakened up by Alice jumping on my bed. "Did you have some sugar rich blood or something this morning," I grouched a bit annoyed at the rude awakening. I sat up on my elbows to give her a better annoyed 'why are you waking me look'. I pulled my legs a bit closer to my body so Alice wouldn't accidentally step on them since she was still jumping around. I knew that she wouldn't actually step on them since she is being careful and staying at the foot of the bed, so you can call it a natural reaction.

"I want to pick out your outfit today, besides Esme told me to get you up," she replied with a smile while jumping off of my bed totally ignoring the peeved look I threw her.

"Is that all," I questioned as I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to do my morning ritual then headed downstairs for breakfast. Esme need to go shopping so I had cereal for breakfast; the others were absent at the moment. After which Alice dragged my back up in to my room then waited for me to brush my teeth.

When I was done she handed me the clothes that she wanted me to wear. The outfit consisted of black low rise flair jeans, a red turtle neck and a black vest with a burgundy inside with same color trim, zipper and stitches. "There sure is a lot of black here Alice; usually you have me wearing a more colors." I said turning my eyes from the outfit I was wearing to Alice and back again.

"I'm trying something different for you," she replied as she pulled me to my vanity. She brushed out my hair then separated the top half which she placed into two pigtails. She put on the same makeup, minus the lipstick (she used clear gloss instead), that I wore for Halloween and for jewelry I wore the diamond accented heart necklace that I wore yesterday.

"What about the jersey," I asked confused wondering why she wasn't wearing hers.

"We are going to do that tomorrow. Esme didn't wash them last night and some mends need to be made," Alice said as we walked to the living room. I was a bit confused at his because from what I saw the jerseys were in near perfect condition. When we entered the living room I saw why she dressed me like this, she had dressed me so that I sort of matched Edward.

He was wearing black jeans, a red long sleeve tee and a black short sleeved outer shirt that was unbuttoned and tennis shoes. "I know that you guys dress to complement each other, but why do you dress me to match Edward," I asked Alice my brow raised in question.

"Because I think that it's cute," she replied with a smile. I rolled my eyes at her. We gathered up our things and headed to school. It was much the same as always, but the teachers asked us how our weekends went and what we did.

"Ok class, before we get started I want to hear what you did for your extended weekend," the biology teacher said drawing the attention of the classroom to him. Mike and Eric went to Port Angeles with their girlfriends, and many traveled to be with other family or stayed at home.

"How about you Bella," he asked going around the room and giving everyone a chance to answer.

"I spent my weekend at La Push with my dad, close family friends and my boyfriend," she said and the way she said boyfriend was clearly a jab at Edward. I couldn't tell if it affected him or not, but I don't think that it did.

"What did you do during break Edward," he asked.

"Camping with my family," was his short reply. I still couldn't really tell if he was upset with the jab or not.

"How about you Carrie, What did you do this weekend?" the teacher asked me at last since I was the only person left who hasn't answered yet.

"I went camping with the Cullen's," I answered. Bella turned around so fast that I thought that she would get whiplash and she gave me and Edward an incredulous stare. The other students gave me shocked looks as well, as well as the teacher. This will be something else for her to be jealous about no doubt.

"Do you mind me asking about what you did," the teacher asked. I glanced at Edward and he gave me a small nod and an encouraging smile.

"Well Dr. Cullen rented a cabin for a weekend which had an indoor pool and hot tub. We spent the first day swimming and enjoying the hot tub." I saw as Bella's mouth dropped open further. I just knew she was trying to picture Edward in the hot tub.

"Then the second day we went hiking and set up camp. The third day was exploring and fishing. At night we told ghost stories around the camp fire. On Sunday we packed up camp, did some more hiking packed up and headed back to the cabin where we watched movies. On Monday we came back, played some video games, Edward started to teach me to play the piano and we played a couple of games of baseball. We had to stop due to the storm," I stated. By the end Bella was glaring daggers at me again, if only looks could kill.

"Well it sounds like you and the Cullen's had a fun filled weekend. Now time to start class." He stood up straight from leaning against his desk, arms and legs crossed. As he stood straight an excited smile spread across his face and he uncrossed his arms, then clapped them and rubbed them together. I guess he was trying to get us excited about what he was about to tell us. "During break I graded your projects and decided which group had the best 3d representation of the cells. And the winners are," he said as he walked over to the board behind his desk and pulled up the projection screen that was covering it.

"Edward and Carrie," he said as our names were revealed. "You two had the most interesting and most accurate representation. You separated the project into two separate cells instead of having it all in one like everyone else. And the idea was most creative; you made your cells out of cookies and other edible things. I hope you don't mind, but I ate one and saved the other one for the class." With that said he handed out a piece of our project to everyone in the class.

We got compliments on our baking. Edward gave me his piece which I wrapped for later. I noticed that Bella threw hers in the garbage. The rest of the day went as usual, and after school I went to work after I dropped my stuff off and changed.

At work everyone that I was working with kept asking me on how I was doing. They assumed that whatever was wrong with me must have been pretty severe if I missed an entire month of work. I'm not sure what Carlisle and Esme told them or if they found out about my injuries so I just said that I was better now and glad to be back at work. I guess they can't make the connection of me being injured such as to why I was to my absence at work. Then again they never really saw me when I was injured and they must have not listened to people talk. (It is a small town there was bound to be some chatter.) I thanked Megan for not firing me and allowing me to work despite my extended absence. Some people from school told me that it is nice to see me at work again. Overall it was the same old work as it had been and during my breaks I worked on some homework that I had brought with me.

After work Carlisle picked me up on his way home from the hospital. "So Carrie, how do you like living with us," he asks. I couldn't really tell where he was going with this, but I answered him honestly.

"I love it. I feel as though I belong, I feel as though I am among family," I said and not for the first time I realized how true it was. How right it felt to be with the Cullen's. I could feel warmth spread from head to toe as I thought about it.

"I'm glad to hear that. What would you say if we asked you to become one of us, to be a real member of our family," Carlisle questioned his tone casual but serious most likely trying to not freak me out.

"I would love to, but I couldn't ask you to do that. Besides could you deal with what Emmett and I do to each other for the rest of eternity," I asked with a small laugh. I was still of two minds when it came to being changed. I am still scared that they would leave me and what would I do if I was changed and then they left me? I would be alone forever. Can I even handle seeing people grow old and die while I remain frozen in time. Sure I don't have any connections to them but will I be able to it without losing my mind. I have to come to terms with my own insecurities before I could commit to something so permanent.

"But if something were to happen to you, and nothing of modern medicine could save you, what then," he asked giving me a serious face. So this was what he was trying to get to. He wanted to know if he had my blessing to change me if I am on my death bed. I was silent as I thought over is question. I wouldn't want to be separated from the people that I love and cherish and see as family. As we turned on to the 'drive way' to the house I gave him my answer.

"If you guys happen to find me as I was dying, I give you permission to change me, but only if the change wouldn't be too much of a strain on my body. I don't want you to change me if I may not survive the transformation. If not, let nature take its course." It would be much harder for them to deal if they had tried to save me and failed then if they did not try at all.

Once inside I headed to my room and took a shower. After that I worked on my homework. Esme came up and got me to eat a late supper. After that I finished up my homework and went to bed a little after midnight.

The next morning I had a little trouble waking up. As I was sitting at my place at the table waiting for breakfast with the others when Emmett decided that he was going to help wake me up. He did so my dropping a handful of ice cubes down my shirt. That caused me to jump up with a little squeak as I tried to get them out of my shirt. It kind of helped, but not much.

"I still don't see how you find ice cubes cold, but not us," Rosalie said. The others looked at me after she said that.

"Well I don't really notice the coolness of your skin." Both Rosalie and Alice had a hand on the table near me so I placed one of mine on top of each of theirs. "I feel it but it's comforting to me and I can feel warmth from you also. It is kind of hard to explain," I said my words running off as I tried to think of a way to explain it properly as I removed my hand from theirs and crossed my arms in my traditional thinking pose. "Ok I got it! You know that feeling of warmth in your chest that you get when you think of a love one?" I asked and they nodded they all know what love feels like. "That is what your touch feels like to me. While your hand may be cool I don't really feel it or notice it because of the warmth. Do you get it?" I asked unsure if I explained it well enough. I often have trouble saying what I think and it is more difficult when emotions are involved. If the smiles that they were all shooting at me were any indication then they did get it. I finished my breakfast and headed to my room to get ready.

My outfit today consisted of blue jeans and a grey long sleeved sweater over a white t-shirt. Alice and Rosalie my not totally agree with my choice but I felt like going along with comfort clothes instead of fashion. I pulled my hair up into a simple pony tail, and I didn't bother with make up or jewelry. When I was done I headed down to the living room with my bag in hand.

"There you are Carrie, we were waiting for you," Esme said. In her arms appeared to be the jerseys. "We have something for you." She handed me the top jersey. I took it from her and held it up to look at it.

It was dark blue with white stripes. Over the heart was the Cullen family crest. I turned it over to look at the back; across the shoulders was my name in two inch tall white patches and below that was a large number eight, also white.

"Go ahead and try it on," Esme said and I wordlessly did as she said. It was a loose fit, which I liked because I don't like wearing tight clothes. "What do you think," she asked a smile on her face.

"Oh I love it. I look like the rest of the team and I can wear it the next time we play baseball," I said as I took it back off. Edward took it from me and put it on himself.

"What are you doing Edward," I asked confused. I could feel my eyebrows lifting incredulously then furrowing in confusion at his actions.

"Don't you remember the bet? We are going to wear the other team's jerseys today," he said with a shrug of his shoulders like it wasn't that big of a deal. I could feel a blush spreading across my face at seeing him wearing something, an article of my clothing to be specific, of mine.

"I thought that it was just my team that had to do it," I asked as I took his jersey that he handed me. His had the opposite colors, his name and the number two. Apparently Esme changed all of the jerseys.

"The others decided that they would do it also since they didn't really get a punishment for losing a game," he said. I looked at the others and watched as they put on their respective persons jersey as I put mine/Edward's on. (numbers were Carlisle -1, Edward - 2, Esme - 3, Rosalie - 4, Emmett - 5, Alice - 6, Jasper - 7, and me - 8; it was supposed to be the order in which they joined the family.)

Edward was wearing jeans and a black long sleeve tee. Alice was wearing black jeans, white tee and black zip up sweater. Rose was wearing blue jeans, light green shirt with a tan jacket vest with a 'fur' lined hood. Jasper was wearing blue jeans and a dark navy blue sweater with a checkered pattern across the chest. Emmett was wearing ripped up, faded blue jeans with a black t-shirt and blue zip up hoodie.

After grabbing a coat and my bag we headed on our way to school. I rode with Edward as the others went with Rosalie. With the colder weather Rosalie ought to think about driving another vehicle rather than her BMW convertible, people might start to get suspicious. At school we just hung around the cars, not really doing anything, until it was time to get to class.

Edward walked me to class and before I entered the classroom he softly pushed me against the lockers and kissed me deeply. All this public displays of affection were going to take a long time to get use to, not that I am complaining. That boy sure knew how to take my breath away. When I walked into English and sat in my seat Jessica came up to me and asked, "Are you like wearing Edward's jersey." I nodded the affirmative. "Why would he need a jersey?" Jessica was obviously trying to find some gossip to spread.

"He wears one when he and his family play baseball," I replied.

"So why are you wearing his," she asked.

"It's not really any of your business but I'm wearing it because of the terms of the game we played. The losing team had to wear the winning team's jersey to school. Both teams lost a game so we are all wearing each other's jerseys," I told her.

"So he is like wearing yours which has like your name on it and everything right," Jessica questioned.

"Yes," I answered impatiently. Jessica left and I could hear her telling her friends about it. After class Emmett, who looked like the jersey he was wearing, was going to rip at any moment, and was there to walk with me to Latin where the teacher pointed out that we were wearing jerseys that didn't have our names on it. We started translating the First Gallic War written by Julius Caesar. After class Emmett walked with me, while discussing the length and structure of the sentences of the translation, until we met up with Rosalie and I walked with her to class.

In that class Rose and I were again questioned about the jerseys. Rosalie replied it was how our boyfriends showed that we are taken. I didn't bother to say anything about that. In fact I felt my face heat up a bit at that, Edward staking a claim on me.

After class Edward was in his usual spot waiting for me. He took some books from me, gave me a kiss on my cheek and put his arm around my shoulders as we walked to biology. From the minute that I walked in and until I left Bella kept glaring daggers at me. It was quite obvious since I sit behind her and she has to slightly turn to see me. She would look at Edward longingly also and I could tell that she wanted to rip my jersey off of him and rip his off of me. She would probably put it on herself.

The rest of the day was the same as usual. In gym we started a volleyball tournament. We were going to start off on teams of six and go until the end; then we were going to do it all again but in teams of three. And of course the Cullen's and I made up a team of six. We played one game which we won.

After school we headed back to the manor. I unpacked and spread out in the living room to do my homework and I took some with me to do during my breaks. Carlisle picked me up again.

"You seem to have Edward quite nervous," he said with a hint of amusement.

"What do you mean," I asked curious as to what he meant.

"Well he is trying to figure out what to do for a date. From what I understand from Esme when you go out to work, he goes out to try and figure out what to do. He is also trying to figure out when the date should be since you work long hours," he said.

"I didn't think anything about me was complicated. I'm a simple girl, I'm just happy that he wants to spend time with me," I said in all honesty and a small smile.

"Well he really wants to surprise you," Carlisle stated with a smile.

"I'm sure I will be," I replied with my own crooked grin, a habit that I seem to have picked up from Edward. (Jasper has one as well but since he is so serious all the time the only time I've seen it was during the baseball game.)

The rest of the week went on as usual. I would go to school, go back to the manor, and go to work and then return. The next morning I would get up and do it all again. At least I was never bored with all of the Cullen's around. Saturday I had to get up early because I had to be at work by eleven. Emmett gave me ride in his jeep, before he left he gave me a lunch that Esme had made for me. "Be careful now princess," he said in his teasing big brother way.

"Alright Emm," I replied waving him off as I entered the building. It was a bit more crowded in Maria's than usual. I saw more kids from school and some other people our age that I haven't seen before. It was a bit hectic, and I was constantly busy cleaning up messes and cleaning off tables. I went outside during breaks to get away from the crowd, the noise and stuffy atmosphere. I worked on some home work that I did, mainly reading for English and Latin. For English we were reading A Prayer for Owen Meany and for Latin we were reading The Agony and the Ecstasy by John Irving. (I don't own either)

Alice was there to pick me up at seven. "I believe you guys have definitely spoiled me," I said in a tired way. The work wasn't all that hard just tedious in it repetition and all the people really wore me out.

"What makes you say that," she asked in her normal chipper way.

"Well I'm exhausted from working here and getting less sleep at night. I was use to this. Just think of how tired I will be this next week. Tomorrow I got to go over and clean out the house and I'll have to start sleeping in my den some time. I've gotten used to sleeping in a soft warm bed. I've been pampered and now I have to go back to how it was before," I said in a small rant.

"You could just quit, we can make up the difference of the check," Alice said as if was nothing. I still can't get over how nonchalant they can be about things, especially money.

"As I have said before I couldn't let you do that. I am perfectly capable of doing it myself. I just might get a little crabby until I get back into the swing of things," I said with my stubborn side showing as I crossed my arms, leaned against the door and looked at the window, not that I could see anything. It is just an action that helps calm me down and I can let my mind wander so that I could more easily ponder on what I thought and/or felt.

We were quite the rest of the way home, I mean the manor. Awe heck I'll just say home I'm too tired to argue with myself. I have been having a strange feeling that I can't seem to identify when I refer to the manor as home that has me questioning it. In addition to the normal happy and loving feel that I get from the Cullen's I get a feeling like it is a sanctuary and for some reason I question why I feel that way. I'm pretty sure I know why but something tells me that there is more to it. 'I must be more tired than I thought,' I said to myself. We walked into the living room and Esme was there to greet us. "Hello Carrie dear how was work," she asked as she came up and wrapped her arms around me in a motherly hug.

"Troublesome," I replied. "I didn't realize how crowded it gets on the weekends. I felt suffocated by how many people were moving around in there."

"Why don't you go and take a hot bubble bath to relax while I get started on your supper," she said as she walked beside me toward the stairs with her arm around my shoulders.

"You read my mind. Are you sure that mind reading isn't your power," I questioned as I looked to my right to see her face.

"No it's not and our mind reader is out at the moment," she said as she motioned for me to go on up the stairs that we were standing in front of.

I headed to my room without any further nudging. I headed to my bathroom and started to fill the tub with steaming water. I poured in some lavender bubble bath that Alice bought for me. I left to get my robe and my small portable stereo. I turned off the water and put in a CD, undressed and got into the water.

The CD I was listening to was Beethoven's Most Memorable. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift with the music. I gently scrubbed with the matching body wash that came with the bubble bath. I hope the Cullen's like lavender because that is what I'm going to be smelling strongly of it after this. I sat back and slipped down until my chin was touching the water. I pinned my hair up so that it wouldn't get wet. I let the water, scent and music calm and sooth my mind and body.

I wasn't sure how long I had been in there but I was interrupted by a knocking at my door.

"Who is it," I asked as I sat up.

"It's Jasper, dinner is going to be ready in about half an hour," he said through the door.

"Thanks Jasper," I replied. I got out and determine that I had been in the tub for a while because my skin was pruned and the water felt cooler. I dried off and put my robe on. I turned off the stereo and headed into my room to get dressed.

I changed into an oversized brown shirt that said: 'YES I KNOW I'M CUDDLE WORTHY' in orange lettering that came down to just past my butt. Underneath I was wearing a pair of matching shorts that were orange and had little fluffy looking brown bears on them that came down to about mid thigh. It was a gift from Emmett after I got a smaller gym uniform. I then headed back to the bathroom to comb out my hair. Afterwards I headed to the living room with my books and question booklets for school in hand.

"Awe look, Carrie's wearing the clothes that I got her. I told you she would look cute in them," Emmett said as I walked into the living room. I stopped in my tracks and I could feel a blush spread across my face and I crossed my arms as best as I could with the books in indignation.

He came over to me and picked me up so that he could sort of rub his cheek against mine, but it was mainly a bear hug all the while 'gushing' about how cute I looked. He pulled away and held me in his left arm and brought his right hand up to pinch my left cheek. I saw some flash of light so I knew someone, probably Alice, took a picture.

Emmett set me down on my feet then ruffled my hair. He headed back over to continue playing his video game. I went over to one of the love seats and plopped down on my back and threw my legs over the back and my head on the armrest. I opened up A&E and began to read.

So far I really like this book. It is about the life of Michelangelo; painter of the Sistine Chapel and carver of Madonna (the statue of Mary and Jesus after His crucification) along with various other wonderful works of art. I got so drawn into it that I forgot to stop at the end of the section to answer the questions accompanying it.

When I realized that I had been neglecting the questions I stopped reading, set my book down on my stomach and reached for the packet that contained the questions. However the book wasn't on the coffee table, I turned a bit but I didn't see it on the floor either.

"Are you looking for this," I heard someone ask. I turned toward the voice just to see Edward sitting on the other half of the love seat with my packet in hand, writing what I guessed were the answers in it. I didn't even notice when he sat there.

"Give that back Edward; I can't have you doing my work, it's not fair," I said as I held my hand out toward him. He just took his right hand, shook mine then went back to writing in my packet.

I picked up my feet and went to move them down so that I could move to sit up, but since they were close to him, Edward grabbed my ankles and trapped them in the crook of his arm and went back to writing.

After a short struggle I freed my limbs but before I could move Edward moved so that he was leaning against the arm rest, in a half lying down kind of way, and placed his body on top of mine and his feet were pinning my shoulders.

I brought my arms up and pushed against the inside of his legs to push them away while pulling my legs out from under him at the same time. As soon as his feet slipped off of my shoulders I lunged forward. However he held the packet out of my reach and wrapped his legs around me so that I couldn't move. "Oh come on Eddie and just give it to me please," I complained as I continued to reach for the packet but only making it to just shy of his elbow.

"Now where is the fun in that," he replied as he looked down at me. I let out a breath of frustration and plopped my chin down on his chest while glaring at him. We sat there for a little bit and he loosened up to remove his legs from around me. I took this chance and lunged again.

I was able to get within inches of it before he stopped me again. His free right arm was wrapped around my hips so that made his face right even with my chest. Of course I didn't realize this as I was trying to get my packet back. It was literally at my finger tips so I tried to shimmy up a little more.

The next thing I know is that I was on my back again with Edward on top of me. His face was buried in my neck and his hands were holding mine above my head. It scared me a little bit because I wasn't expecting it, but I kept control of my breathing and didn't fight or provoke him. Besides I know that he won't hurt, at least I hope so but I doubt it.

He brought his head up and looked like he was about to say something but he just got off of me and handed me my packet and book that fell to the floor during our little skirmish while I looked at him in confusion at what happened and why. Esme came in shortly afterwards and announced that dinner was ready.

That night Esme made a small pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. It was a bit of a quite affair, we all talked about what we did that day. Carlisle discussed a small car crash that took place today just outside of town.

"Apparently Tyler wrecked another van today. He was driving too fast on a wet road and when he went to turn he went off of the road into a tree. Chief Swan came into the hospital to get my report and he stopped and asked for his license. Tyler handed it over and Charlie took a pair of scissors that were nearby and cut up his license there and then. He said, 'I should have done this last year.'" Carlisle told us. I asked what he meant about that and Alice was the one who quietly informed me of the time Edward saved Bella from being hit by Tyler's van. Even though they have told me about their lives I am still in the dark about Edward's previous relationship with Bella.

After dinner I went up to my room to do some more homework. I opened my packet to the appropriate page and stared at what was written. Edward did put down the correct answers but he also drew little hearts on the pages and his name everywhere. Seeing this brought a smile to my face but I was slightly angry. He made my school work look like it belongs to a school girl with a crush. Okay it's true but I like my work to be professional looking. That's why I have a sketchbook so I can draw in to and not on my work.

With a slightly heavy heart I began to erase his little drawings. Alice came in about half way through wondering what I was doing. I showed her my packet and when she asked why I was erasing it and I told her my reason.

"So does that mean that he can do it on something else of yours as long it isn't your school work," she asked with a mysterious glint in her eyes.

"Yeah I guess," I said as I continued to erase the 'love marks' from my work. Thankfully he wrote them light enough where there were no traces of them ever being there after they were erased.

When I was finished I set my stuff aside and plopped down on my bed on my stomach. Alice lay down next to me and brought up the topic of Christmas shopping. We talked about when we should start doing our shopping and when we should shop with whom so no one will know what they get.

The only time I really had to go shopping was Sunday before and after work but starting tomorrow night I have to start staying in my den because Thom and Liz come back tomorrow. Alice said that she would take care of cleaning the house for me tomorrow that way I get some more relaxation in.

Rosalie and Esme came in later and we wrote down our gift suggestions for the guys. We wrote them down so the guys wouldn't hear us and we thought of something else so Edward couldn't read our minds. We also made sure that our eyes didn't stay on the list for too long so that he couldn't see what was written through our eyes. It was hard to consciously think about two things at once without really thinking of it.

It was a little after midnight when they left so I could get some sleep. I was determined to enjoy this bed tonight for I'm not sure when the next time I got to sleep in it will be. I pulled my blankets up and wrapped them tightly around me and snuggled into the fluffy pillows.
