Bella followed Veronica, fighting the urge to just whip around her and drive faster. In her vampire years, Bella had learned to appreciate driving way faster than the speed limit. Once they got there, Bella parked her car and got out, putting her bag over her shoulder and walked over to Veronica's car so that they could go inside the mall. "The only store I need to go into really is Madeline's; it's a specialty baby store," she said.

Veronica nodded and got out of her car. "Well I'm gonna hit Dolce, so just come find me when you're done. You can give me opinions on clothes." She turned and walked quickly into the mall. She was eager to get to Dolce to shop. Once there, she immediately spotted some cute outfits and started making combinations, trying them on in the dressing room. Combo #1Combo #2Combo #3 |

Bella made her way to Madeline's where she found a few things that she had been looking for. There were a few outfits that she wanted to get for the baby, including an adorable yellow jumper with a baby giraffe on it, a few onesies, and some other outfits that would fit the baby when it grew older. Then she saw something that caught her eye that she had to get for the baby and Renesmee. It would be a mother/daughter surprise that she could not wait to give Renesmee at the baby shower. She got a few more things before checking out and going to her car to put the items away. Pulling out her phone, she texted Veronica.
Sorry I got a little distracted and got a few more things than I originally intended. I'll be there soon.
She slid her phone shut and walked back into the mall to go find Veronica. Although she detested shopping just for the fun of it, she knew it would help keep things mended in their family, so she would do what she had to.

Verionca was modeling her third combo outfit when her phone buzzed. She read the text from Bella and responded to it.
I'm at Dolce in the dressing rooms. Just come back and hollar.--V
She threw her phone down in her bag and continued modeling her outfit. It looked good on her. Combo #2 was okay, but she really liked 1 and 3. She smoothed the shirt out a bit and took a mini mirror out of her purse to check her makeup. As if the dressing room mirror wasn't good enough. |

Bella got Veronica's text message just as she got back inside the mall, so she headed over to Dolce and immediately back to the dressing rooms. Everything in the store reminded her heavily of Rosalie or even Alice, which made her almost laugh. Her sisters were the heavy shoppers of the family, but she still preferred her t-shirt and jeans over most anything because of comfort. That was just part of her personality and thankfully, Edward still loved it regardless of how "plain" it was to others. That was another thing about her husband that she found perfectly endearing. She loved how he was just in love with her for her, nothing else.
When she got to the dressing rooms, she stopped and looked around for a moment before shouting softly, "Ronnie?" She looked for any sign of her cousin that would give away which dressing room she was in. Bella hated standing there, looking around awkwardly, but she knew that nobody would notice because of her vampiric beauty. They would assume she was someone who regularly shopped there. It was times like these that Bella was thankful to be beautiful.

Veronica heard Bella call her name and opened the dressing room door. She stepped out in outfit 3. "Bells, tell me what this looks like. Scale of one to ten. And don't say ten just because you'll get me to shut up. Be honest and frank." She twirled around and acted like a professional model, trying to be funny. |

Bella heard Veronica's voice and then saw her step out of the dressing room in an outfit, asking for advice. When Veronica started turning like a model, Bella had to laugh. It was just too funny not to because it was just like her cousin to do something like that. "Sorry Ronnie," she apologized, still laughing lightly until she calmed herself down. "Okay, on a scale of one to ten...I'd give that one a seven to eight, but I'm really not a great judge of clothing. You would probably be better off asking Rose or Alice. They shop much more than I do." Bella hated being blunt and honest, but she also had a strict truth policy that she stuck to.

The thought of asking Rosalie--the one attatched at the hip to Jasper--and/or Alice--the one she didn't like--freightened her. "No, your opinion is what I want." She went back into the dressing room and changed back into her clothes. She grabbed all three combinations and walked out. "I'm going to pay, then I plan on going to Marchesa." Bella probably had no idea who Marchesa was, but that was okay. |

Bella shook her head, almost laughing that her cousin wanted her opinion on clothing. It seemed almost ironic to her. "Alright Ronnie, but I'm warning you that my opinions will probably suck," she said as she followed Veronica to the cash register. "There is a reason I only wear mostly t-shirts and jeans." Bella knew that Veronica would not give in and it was mostly due to the fact that she was afraid of her sisters. It didn't take a rocket scientist to see that. Rosalie scared the hell out of most everyone who did not know her that well. And Alice...well Veronica really didn't like Alice to begin with. And Bella was pretty certain that Alice didn't like Veronica either.

Veronica "hmmped" like a sweet little girl then walked up to the cash register and got her items checked out. Her bill was outrageous, but that's why he parents left her half of everything. When she was finished, she bounced back over to Bella, shopping bags in hand and said, "Okay, off to Marchesa." She pointed towards the exit and started that way. |

Watching as Veronica paid an outrageous bill for her three outfits, Bella rolled her eyes sarcastically behind her cousin. The only instance where she had ever paid that much for clothing was her wedding dress, which had been custom made for her. Alice had insisted because it would be one-of-a-kind, just like their wedding was. Then again, everything about her relationship with Edward Cullen had been one of a kind. A vampire marrying a human...that was just something no one really ever saw. Shaking her thoughts away, she began to follow Veronica to the next store. Deciding to make conversation, she asked, "Are you coming to Renesmee's baby shower?"

Veronica walked into Marchesa as Bella asked her question. She turned slightly still walking and said, "I wasn't officially invited. I'm not the kind of person that just assumes. If you're inviting me, sure. If not, I won't be there." She walked over to a skirt she spotted and matched a corset and shoes with it. "I'll be back." She ran into the dressing room right next to them to try her new found items on. Then she came out. "Okay, what'd'ya think?" Combo #4 |
