Chapter 2: Her Last Peaceful Sleep
Silence, absolute silence. The others left when the screams became too much to bare or as Rosalie so politely put it, "Bella won't shut up". From what I vaguely remember the rest left with kind hearts and comforting words, but they fell on deaf ears for I was soothing Bella.
Ironically, Bella wailed herself into a fathomless slumber just a few hours after our family left. She looked so tranquil and serene with her perfect heart shaped face. I had once thought that Bella was the most beautiful creature as a human until now. The transformation made her most faultless features more prominently ideal. Her hair felt like silk against my lips and shined with a new beauty. To my delight, Bella's lips became even more voluminous. My fingertips brushed against her soft, smooth cheeks as I kissed her hair. Sighing, I realized this would be Bella's last peaceful sleep and I put my ear to her chest to hear Bella's musical heart.
"Oh my sweat Bella, once you are fully transformed I will make you the most happiest… vampire that ever existed," I whispered while still choking out the last part. "After tomorrow, your nightmare will end".
I cannot wait until we add more joyous memories to our well developed collection. Maybe Carlisle was right and I am just worrying too much. What is done is done. Besides I promised Bella, I wouldn't worry or in her words, "…think about it too much". Deciding to think about something else, I inhaled a deep breath. I couldn't help but smile at the remembrance of Bella walking down the aisle on our wedding day.
In all my existence of being a vampire, I never felt sick prior to today. My stomach twisted into a not I couldn't settle. While trying to stop my hands from shaking by smoothing my tuxedo, I saw Esme give me a worried look.
"I'm fine," I whispered, giving her a half-smile, which she happily returned.
Geesh, Edward. Why are you so calm? I mean this is your wedding. Personally, I would be a wreck.
I was about to retort back to Emmett's sarcasm, when I heard the wedding march and my head snapped towards the entrance with the rest of the small audience. There she was, my wife-to-be, my love, walking so eloquently with her arm entwined with Charlie's right to me. How any more fortuitous could I possibly get.
She seemed to be almost glowing in her white dress, her perfect white dress. My eyes moved to her neck where glistening pearls hung. Then they traveled to her hair which was tied into the most delicious style with a few strands clinging to the side of her face. I mischievously grinned when I saw her delicate lips curved into a smile, thinking about the night to come. I let out a sigh of relief as I rested onto her deep, brown eyes. I then comprehended that I really was fine and more, so much more. All I need is Bella…forever.
I couldn't help myself. I just had to write this chapter today. Edward just wouldn't get out of my head. Well, can you blame me. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. PLEASE REVIEW. I want to know what you guys thought.
