This story takes place after Eclipse It's about the wedding on August 13th. In the beginning Bella and Edward have to tell Charlie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward ran as fast as ever so that we arrived at my house in about 5 minutes. We stood at the front door and I hesitated.
"Are you afraid?'' I asked him. " No should I be?'' he said, as confident as always, but I didn't believe him he looked too anxious to not be afraid.
"Charlie!!!'' I yelled, as we walked into the kitchen.
He came into the kitchen with curious eyes. "Hey kids, what's up?''
"Charlie...I would like to talk to you'' Edward suddenly said.
''We! We would like to talk to you Dad'' I enclosed.
Charlie seemed confused by the seriousness in Edward's voice.
"I would like to have your permission to marry your daughter Charlie'' Edward said, in very formal voice.
Charlie looked at Edward unwilling to believe him. First he laughed but then he saw the serious look in Edward's eyes and suddenly Charlie's face was very pale.
"Are you serious? Bella can I talk to you for a few minutes... alone.''
Charlie took me to the living room, Edward waited in the kitchen.
"Bella what is he saying? Marriage? Aren't you a bit too young to get married? Do you want to make the same mistake I did?
"So it was a mistake that you married my Mom?'' I said.
"No of course it wasn't all bad. We got you and that wasn't bad at all, but what if he leaves you again?"
"He won't. I know it and you know it too. Dad it is my decision, and not yours. I'm 18 years old I'm old enough. If it is a mistake then I will have to live with it, though I know it is not a mistake. I love him Dad that's for sure and if you look at Edward you can see that he loves me too.'' I answered.
"Bella I have to think about that and talk to Renee. I'll hear what she says but I'm sure she won't like it either.'' Charlie said, in a low voice.
"Dad ... please keep in mind that it is my decision not yours. Nothing you or mum will say will stop me doing this because it is what I want.'' I said, before I left the room and joined Edward in the kitchen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day Charlie called Renee and told her everything. She was shocked and speechless and after a few minutes of silence she wanted to talk to me.
''Bella are you serious? Do you know what you are going to do... you are going to make the same mistake I did'' she said, outraged.
''Mum please...'' I begged.
I talked to her for almost an hour, told her that it was my decision over and over again.
In the end she couldn't say anything else, because my arguments were better than hers.
And so she accepted that it really was my decision.
But I knew that it would take much more to convince Charlie. He accepted it after a week of fighting and discussions.
But in the end I was glad he did. And even Edward seemed relieved. Charlie wanted the best for me and he knew deep inside that I was only lucky with Edward by my side.
August 9
''Alice are you sure this list isn't a bit too big?'' I asked, Alice while we were walking around the house towards two huge pavilions decorated with ivy and roses.
The pavilions were opened on each side and on the inside there were lots of white chairs. In the middle of the chairs there was an isle with a red carpet. There were roses everywhere and at the end of the isle there was an underpass decorated with roses and ivy as well.
''Actually 30 quests aren't that much''. Alice replied.
''I don't want my wedding to be such a big deal'' I complained.
''OK... OK I'll see what I can manage'' she said and walked back to the house.
I stood there in the middle of the isle and looked to the end of it as if it was the door to a new life, a new century, a new chapter of my story.
''Boo'' someone yelled behind my back.
''Wooh, Holy crap, Emmet you scared me.''
He laughed and said ''you humans are so funny, you wouldn't hear us even if we were as loud as a grizzly bear."
''Don't you ever do that, it isn't funny.'' I said angrily.
''OK Ok...I'm sorry'' he said still smiling.
''So what did you do before I was so rude to scare you?'' He asked.
''I was thinking about that whole marriage thing'' I replied.
''Hmm...I never felt the need to marry before I met Rose. You know it was always her biggest request to get married. And I wanted to make her happy. I never liked the weddings that much but after a couple of times and after seeing Rose so happy - every time we got married - I started to like it. The day you get married is just a new beginning nothing changes besides the fact that everyone will know that you are husband and wife. There will be no change in your relationship from one day to the other. The relationship grows from this day on.'' He told me.
''Why does Edward want this so much?'' I asked him.
''I can't tell you that sorry... all I know is that he loves you and that he wants you forever. And like I said there will be no change'' Emmet said.
''So tell me what are you going to do on the last day of freedom'' he joked.
''I think Alice planned a party.'' I replied.
Emmet laughed and took a rose from the roof of the pavilion and played with it.
Jasper and I planned a small party for Edwards last day too. ''Don't tell him it will be a surprise'' He said and then he took the rose and left the pavilion.
(To be continued) ( The second chapter will be about the party, and Edward and Bella talking about the the wedding and the days after it.) (The third chapter will be about the wedding... finally :-) )
