Chapter 1
"Bells"

Bells rang in my head as the day I had been dreading approached and I was suddenly excited being one step closer to spending the rest of my existence; not just my life, with the one I love. Those dreaded bells rang louder and louder, I swore I was going insane; absolutely insane. I heard a rapping noise and there was a knock on the door followed by Alice barging in. Her enthusiasm wasn't always infectious, though it was always there, and I had been becoming more and more cynical as the days passed. It hadn't been but a couple of weeks since I broke the news to Charlie who was definitely less than thrilled I that Jacob hadn't succeeded in doing what Edward had. He had reluctantly agreed even though we moved the wedding forward. It was something about Edward's velvet purr and elegant dress when he asked for my hand then proposing for a second time in front of Charlie.

Renee was a different story, she was at first a little worried since "this had been the boy who broke my heart", but I convinced her that it wouldn't happen again. I thought she would hate it, that I was marrying so young and in Forks; yet Edward was so entirely handsome and came from such an affluent family she knew I would not be risking any opportunities and then okayed it very emphatically. I sighed at the memories and how hectic my life had become, between wedding planning and then planning for the honeymoon a dull moment hardly found me except for at night when I would lay next to Edward. My daydreaming ended once Alice flipped on the light and laid eyes on me.

"Bella! I have a few wedding dresses picked out; come try them on." She bounced toward me her face gleaming.

I ran after her to a separate room in which she had been doing all the wedding planning. Stationary choices for invitations was stashed in one corner, bridesmaid dresses in several designs, fake wedding cakes in every design practical; the room was huge and stocked with everything and every book to design a wedding and order specific things. It was lovely and I could never repay her for all the hard work I never wanted her to do, I guess allowing all this would be everything she wanted. And it was.

"Alice, this is amazing!" Not as if I was surprised, this is Alice we're talking about; overboard is practically her middle name.

"Esme, helped a little." She said shyly, though I knew Esme probably just did the invitations; Alice likes to do things completely herself.

"Thank…" before I could finish Alice interrupted, "Try this one on!" She already had it off the hanger and ready to for me to try it on.

"We may need to make a trip to Port Angeles soon, girls' night out!" She could sense I was about to complain, "Before you complain, you're going and we're going to have fun." Alice's definition of fun was different than mine and it always involved shopping or some type of turning me into her personal Barbie doll, but I loved her for it.

"Fine, fine."

"Bella it'll be fun, I promise!" she looked like she had something else to say so I nodded her to continue, and confirm that I would indeed go, "You also need a Bachelorette party, it's a tradition! I'm thinking that we combine the two and really splurge on you!" It didn't sound that bad, I knew she would insist on doing both shopping and a party so I figured that was the best way to go and if allowing her to splurge on me made sure they weren't separate affairs I had no objection, though I did wander what all she meant by splurge.

"It sounds wonderful, Alice."

"Oh I knew you would love it!"

We then got back to wedding things and as she was messing with the hair accessories that she had put into a tray I began undressing.

"Would you like me to turn around?" she asked.

"I don't really care," I said as she danced over to the couch and relaxed taking the hair accessories with her, "I'm going to be a part of this family soon." She loved that idea, I was like the sister she never really had in Rosalie, yet always wanted.

I had all but my under garments off as she giggled, I began to feel self-conscious until I heard a gasp and more giggles from Alice, she had seen this coming and I guess she hadn't seen me getting mad so she didn't bother to warn me. I wanted to be mad but it was Edward, and he would see more than this eventually. Maybe this would tempt him enough to succumb to my desires, we lived in the same house now, and I shared a room with him.

"I am so sorry my Bella." He sweetly apologized.

"That's…okay." I was a little embarrassed as if he could read my thoughts. He took a step toward me, and I feel into his embrace.

"I should leave you guys alone" Alice said slyly and Edward gave her a sneer; he had read her mind.

He scooped me up nearly throwing me on the black leather couch which had previously occupied Alice. He was going to be a tease, I knew it, he was old fashioned and I hated it. We were engaged the wedding date was set, but again, old fashioned; I wonder if I could tempt him. He smelled intoxicating, as I pressed my nose into he shoulder just beyond his collarbone it only became more intensified. He kissed the middle of the right side of mine jaw line the side in which I was the most sensitive. His kiss created a blazing fire; in which he attempted to put it out with a myriad of kisses only to set my skin ablaze. He had me pushed against the back of the couch and with the tip of his left index finger he felt the curve from my hip to thigh, back and forth a few times; he kissed me with fervent passion alas and hoisted me upright and standing.

Alice stood at the door smirking at him, curious. She walked in and smiled gracefully at me trying to hide that she pretty much knew what was going on. She sat back on the couch after grabbing a dress and holding it for me to get.

Ugh, I sighed to myself; and suddenly as I uttered I was worried she would feel that it was directed toward her when it was anything but.

"Bella? Is something upsetting you? Did I do something? I'm so sorry." She rambled on, poor Alice she searched desperately for my acceptance.

"Yes to the first and no to the second." I ambiguously admitted desperately hoping Edward wasn't listening, he would have to talk about it if he was; about the dangers and it all boiling down to that we weren't married.

"I won't tell." She promised.

"You wouldn't have to your thoughts will give it away."

"Oh, its about Edward…what's wrong? Not cold-feet right? That would kill him." She said, she was obviously very concerned; first hoping I wouldn't hurt her brother and second wanting to help me.

"He's just too…" I trailed off, doubting it should really upset me

"Is about…" the light bulb went off, "how he's so old fashioned?"

"Yea…" I admitted sheepishly, hating that it really bothered me.

"I would have a talk with him, but I somehow doubt that is what you want."

I nodded.

"I'm not sure then, if you can't tempt him into it you'll have to wait. You won't be able to talk him into this." She offered, as I pondered how I would go about it; almost tempted to move up the Bachelorette party. After all she was my maid of honor, and Alice.

"We could always move the Bachelorette party to this weekend…no one needs to hunt and I need a weekend out" I casually lied a little there, though more and more I wasn't so sure it was a lie. Alice beamed with excitement.

"That is a great idea Bella!" she exclaimed, and grabbed her phone. I almost hoped no parents were involved, I knew Alice would put two and two together and it would be all too awkward to have Esme there.

"Everything is set Bella," she informed me a few minutes later, "We're going out Friday and will be home on Saturday afternoon."

"Thanks Alice" as she bolted out the door and grabbed Esme. Great, his mom is going…great.

Esme came in and hugged me, and I was hoping she didn't put the two together like Alice had and figure out why I wanted to move this up. Stupid vampires. Esme then sat on the couch next to Alice and I remembered I still had dresses to try on. I went to grab the first one, I slipped my feet in and pulled it up; it was beautiful. I was sure this was the one, it had thick spaghetti straps with a lace cuff over my shoulders and dipped in back just to the middle of my back, it was long and satin. I motioned Alice to come help me zip the back.

"Its lovely, Alice."

She looked a little astonished, for some reason.

"This was Esme's wedding dress." I couldn't tell if liking it was making her happy or sad. I turned to Esme, who shot me a look of approval; I felt like part of the family more than ever.

"I wanted you to at least have the option of wearing it, I consider you a daughter." I loved feeling like I belonged, and I loved them all dearly; maybe not Rosalie, but this was wonderful. Tears welled up a bit as it sank in.

The front of the dress was amazing, I was in awe; tiny rhinestones were woven in the right places, there was a lace and rhinestone pattern that trailed to the back and met at the middle of my behind. I eyed the back more carefully as Alice spoke, "Would you like better lighting?"

"Yes," as she flipped a switch and suddenly the back sparkled almost like Edward's skin did in the daylight. I carefully unzipped it as Alice handed me a less flashy one, which was definitely more modern. I stepped out of Esme's wedding dress and eyed the one Alice was holding up; the straps were thicker and it scooped down in front. This dress was definitely made to accentuate a great body. I stepped into it, and was a little disappointed, sure the front looked great sequins everywhere but it didn't fit perfectly like the other one did.

"Alice, I think I'm going to stick with Esme's," I said stopping her from grabbing the next one which was the same cut just with lace and sequins in front and dipping in back, "I think Edward will really like my choice especially since he's old fashioned."

"Oh Bella, you're the first of this family to actually decide to wear one of my dresses." Esme said, full of joy just like the night Edward told them I had decided to marry him.

"You look beautiful in that one, Bella. Edward will really love it." Alice said.

I slipped back on my long shorts and my favorite blue tee shirt that had one of those pointless little pockets on it. It was already evening by the time we had finished and I was feeling hungry. I ran downstairs where I found Edward patiently waiting on the living room couch.

"Dinner time for the human," he announced, he had missed me.

"I love Italian!" I said as I made my way toward the kitchen

He just smiled at me, my favorite smile; it made my heart melt and filled me with desire. I was so glad tomorrow morning was Friday. I ate my food in silence as Edward watched me; he must have something planned for tonight the way he looked at me.

"Bella would you be interested in watching a movie tonight?" he asked as the phone Alice bought me a few weeks ago rang. It was Jacob.

"Hello?" I said.

"Bella…" he muttered out, something must be wrong and my heart sank at the thought.

"What's wrong Jacob?"

No reply.

"Do you want me to come down there?"

"I need to see you." He said.

"I'll be down as soon as I can." I said hurriedly and hung up the phone.

"What does the dog want?" Edward said coldly

"He needs to see me."

"Would you like a ride?" he asked.

"Yes."

In a matter of seconds he was in the Volvo waiting for me and raced down the path as quick as I got in. The ride lacked conversation, and in a matter of minutes we were there at the boundary line. I slowly got out, and said my goodbyes to Edward as I walked to Billy's house where I was sure I would find Jacob. The air felt wrong as I approached, the house didn't look right though it looked as it always had and I knocked on the door.
