A/N: Hello!!! This is my second fanfic! I do not own Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, or any characters from it! This is what I think should happen after Eclipse but of course I can't be sure. It starts when Edward and Bella are in the meadow.

1. Dare to Tell the Truth

Edward slipped the ring on my finger once more. Slowly I crawled into his lap where he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and lowered his lips to mine. Out of all our kisses this had to be the best most passionate one yet. By the time he broke our kiss his breathing was quick and shallow but he wasn't breathing nearly as hard as I was. He began to play with my hair as I leaned against his cold hard chest trying to calm my breathing.

When my breathing was back to normal he pulled me up to my feet and on to his back. I peacefully kissed his neck as he ran. I could have fallen asleep as he carried me through the forest. I quietly laughed as I remembered how scared I was when he first carried me like this two years ago.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked in a playful yet gentle voice. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"I was just thinking about how scared I was when we first did this two years ago." I answered in a calm voice. We were just nearing the edge of the forest and Edward began to slow. Once he stopped I carefully jumped to the ground. The second I touched the ground I was in his arms again. My arms locked around his neck as he kissed me again.

"Are you sure you're ready to do this?" He asked placing his forehead against mine as my favorite crooked smile lit up his face.

"I have to tell Charlie sooner or later so I figured I should just get if over with." I laughed a nervous laugh. I tried to imagine what Charlie would say but it all ended in disaster. Edward must have seen the worry in my eyes because he lightly kissed my eye lids.

"Don't worry. I'll be with you until the very end, even if Charlie tries to shoot me." He laughed a very peaceful laugh that I could barely hear with my human hears. I must have still looked worried because he held me closer and began to whisper in my ear. "Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be fine. If you want we can bring it up with him tomorrow."

"How will I explain the ring?" I asked not willing to take the ring off my finger for anything. He laughed quietly again.

"If you want you can spend the night at my house." He suggested. "Say you want to spend another night with Alice I'm sure he wouldn't mind. And I'm sure Alice will be happy to be able to discuss the wedding with you." I could hear the smile in his voice even though that fact of having a big wedding didn't bother me anymore.

"That might be a good ideal. And then tomorrow I can cook him his favorite dishes while he's at work!" I was pretty sure that he wouldn't over react as much after a great meal. "Well let's go home and call Charlie." Edward released me and intertwined his fingers with mine. I walked as close as I could to him, resting my head against his arm.

"Bella!" Alice greeted us at the door. "I already called Charlie and he's fine with you staying over again. I already got your cloths too." Alice was extremely happy about my wedding decision. She loves to throw parties together but she did have a habit of going overboard.

"Thanks Alice!" I said with a wide grin. I hated to admit it, but I was getting really excited about everything. Now I knew that no matter what Edward would always be by my side.

"Lets go discuss the wedding now!" Alice said with too much enthusiasm. She grabbed mine and Edward's hands and rushed us up to her room. A large desk sat in the middle of her room with three chairs positioned around it. A bunch of different kinds of paper were scattered across the desk along with scissors, pens, and glue.

"Alice, what is all this?" I asked in shock. She laughed her sliver laugh that would put wind chimes to shame.

"I decided that the invitations should be hand made!"

"I'm not good at hand made stuff. I can't write well and it's a lot safer if you don't put scissors in my hand."

"Don't worry. Me and Edward will cut, glue, and write. All you need to do is design them, okay."

"I don't really think I'm well suited for that job either." All of the sudden Edward's arms were wrapped around, his lips brushed against my ear.

"Don't worry, you'll do great." He whispered. Suddenly Alice was sitting at one of the chairs waiting for us to join her. There were so many kinds of papers and colors to choose from that I had no idea where to start but Alice helped me with that.

"You should start with a basic color for the base of the card." She pointed to a bunch of plain colored paper. There was one that caught my eye. It was a beautiful shade of light purple, lavender to be exact; at least that was what Alice had told me. After the lavender base Alice glued on a lacy boarder that was just a shade darker than the lavender. She also placed small white flowers made of lace on two out of four corners. She was able to change the single piece of plain paper into something I could have never imagined.

"Do you like it?" She asked in a very hopeful voice.

"Like it? I absolutely love it Alice!"

"Great! Now that we know what they look like Edward can get to work and make some." She said turning to Edward.

"Why me? I thought you were going to help." He asked.

"I have some stuff to discuss with Bella." She said as she grabbed my arm. "Bye Edward!" She pulled me out of the room and headed for the outside.

"Alice, where are we going?"

"Shopping!"

"Huh…for what?"

"Fabric!"

"For what?"

"My dress. I decided to make it by hand." We got into her car and were speeding away leaving Edward to do the invitations by himself. I felt a little guilty but I enjoyed spending time with Alice.

"Umm…Bella?" Alice asked in a small voice.

"Yes?"

"I…umm…well…never mind." She said shying looking away.

"Alice you know you can tell me anything."

"I know, but it's really nothing." I couldn't tell if she was lying or not. We were almost at Port Angeles because of the Cullen's crazy speed.

"Hey, do you think when I'm a vampire I will want to drive like you guys?"

"I don't know. I think we all like to drive fast because we're all so used to moving so fast."

"I guess that's understandable." We were just pulling into a craft store's parking lot. It was a pretty big store. Alice seemed to know exactly where she was going. She decided to get pale pink fabric and a black mesh to put over it. She also got red ribbon to trim the dress with.

"So Alice, what's this dress going to look like?" I asked in a casual tone trying to hide my curiosity.

"Sorry I can't tell." She said happy tone. "I want to surprise you."

"Don't be so mean, I hate surprises."

"Too bad." She laughed. "Shall we go back now?"

"Sure, I want to see how Edward faired." When we walked out I noticed it was dark. Tomorrow was growing close.

As soon as we got home I was in Edward's arms again. To my surprise he had completed all the invitations. There was even one for Jacob.

"I missed you." He whispered in my ear as he held me in his lap.

"I wasn't gone long." I said looking into his eyes. He needed to hunt soon but he didn't want to leave me. "You need to hunt soon." I told him lightly rubbing the bruise like marks under his eyes.

"I can manage." He told me with a very matter-of-factly smile on his flawless lips. I kissed him under his jaw before he turned his head so that his met mine. Slowly I moved my hands to behind his neck. With out breaking the kiss he picked me up and brought me into his room. He sat me down on the bed and broke the hold I had on his neck laying me down.

"You need sleep; you have a long day ahead of you." I laughed. I yawned. I couldn't deny the fact that I was tried. He wrapped his arms around me and began to hum my lullaby in my ear.

The morning brought with it only anxiety. I would have to tell Charlie today. Slowly I opened my eyes to he future husband's face.

"Good morning." He said softly as I opened my eyes. I stretched my arms than snuggled closer to his cold chest.

"Morning." I said into his chest. We stayed like that for an immeasurable moment, until my stomach betrayed me and growled loudly. My face turned red in embarrassment but Edward just laughed.

"We'll have to go out food." He said getting up. Alice heard that I was awake and pulled me to her room.

"I lied about getting your cloths so now I get to dress you!" I wanted to stop her but she sounded so happy about it and even if I did protest she would just tell me that that she doesn't have any memories from her human life. The outfit she picked was a pair dark grey jeans and a dark blue v neck so I couldn't complain.

I hurried to Edward's room after I was dressed but I walked in on him changing. I could feel my face turn ten shades of red as I just stood in the door way like an idiot. Luckily I just caught him with his shirt off. Quickly I shut the door and felt like even more of an idiot.

He opened the door behind me and made me jump. All of the sudden he burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry, but you just looked so cute." He said while trying to control his laughter. "Bella, you've seen me with my shirt off, you were the one who took it off."

"I know, I was just caught off guard." I explained. "We should go now."

"Okay, let's go." He took me to the most expensive place in town to buy me breakfast. Then drove to my house, well my house for the time being. He drove slower that normal because of the worried expression on my face. When we got there I shocked to see Charlie's cruiser in the driveway. I guess I had to get this over with now.

Slowly I walked into the house. Edward held my left hand in his right as we entered the family room to see Charlie on the couch watching another game.

"Hey Bells!" He greeted cheerfully. "How have you been Edward?" I was surprised he was being nice to Edward but I knew that would change in a minute.

"Umm..Dad." I asked slowly.

"Yes?'

"There's something I need to tell you. It's about me and Edward." I took and deep breath. "We decided to umm…get…mar…ried."
