Chapter 2

We walked hand in hand to the front door as Alice opened it for us to enter. Everyone was there in the front room looking at us with curiosity in there eyes. Emmett chuckled a low chuckle and asked, "Now what is this I heard you say about being pregnant Bella?" I flushed with embarrassment. Edward growled at Emmett and then everyone started to laugh….

"I am not pregnant Emmett! I am getting married!"

Emmett got serious for a second and then boomed, "to who?" I rolled my eyes and just shook my head as Emmett rushed over enveloping me into a bear hug "welcome to the family Bella!"

Esme was there in an instant pulling me out of Emmett's big arms. "Now Emmett, let her go. I want to give my daughter a proper welcome to the family!" She took my hands and looked into my eyes. "Bella, you have completed our family. You were worth the wait. I love you and Edward so much" she let go of one of my hands and reached over to pull Edward closer so she could hug us both.

"I only told Esme Bella… everyone else overheard your little phone call in the woods. They tried to not listen but when you shouted it was hard to ignore!" Alice bounded over to us and grabbed my hand pulling me away from Edward.

Edward grabbed Alice's arm not letting her move, "Alice, not now! Let her just do what she wants today!"

"Edward! There is not much time to put a wedding together if it is going to be August 13th! We have to get started on the planning! So many decisions to make, so many things to buy, rent, fly in…"

"NO!" Edward growled.

I put my hand on Edwards pulling it away from Alice's arm, "It's okay Edward. I will not be long. I want to talk to Alice anyway!"

Edward groaned, "I'll be in my room then…"

"I will hurry" I smiled and rushed up the stairs to Alice's room.

Before the door was shut Alice was bombarding me with a million questions. I stood there staring at her in silence. Finally she quit talking and looked at me.

"Alice. All I want to tell you is that I want the wedding and reception to be here at the house. I want it to be at sunset and I want it to be beautiful. I don't care about food, cake, beverages. I don't care about colors, flowers, decorations. I WILL however pick who officiates though. You will have NO say there. I am giving you free reign as long as you will abide by my requests. Can you do that? Oh, I want to ask Angela and Rosalie to be my bridesmaids… I am a little worried that Rosalie will say no… do you think she will even come?"

Alice stood there motionless. She glared at me and said, "You have really limited my choices now Bella! Can't I rent out a hall or fly everyone somewhere for the wedding? The options are endless!"

"No Alice. I want the wedding here. I know who I want to marry us."

"Emmett? Are you serious? He can't do anything without making it a bet or a joke! You have no idea what you are asking for!"

"Actually I do and it was Edwards idea in the first place!" I walked over to where she stood and kissed her on the cheek. "I need to go talk to Rosalie and Emmett now Alice… Get planning! The clock it ticking away…" I flashed her a grin as I turned away.

I left her in her room to go find Emmett and Rosalie before I lost my nerve. I had no idea what she would say. I knew she liked me a little now but I didn't know if she had really accepted my choice yet. I walked down the stairs and saw them sitting on the couch watching a movie on Emmett's huge TV. I walked over to Rosalie and sat down next to her on the couch. She looked over to me and gave me a forced smile. "Rosalie, can I talk to you a minute?" My heart was pounding as Emmett leaned forward to look at me. He laughed and asked what I was so nervous about. I looked back at Rosalie and she nodded her head. We both stood up and walked out the front door into the darkness.

"Rosalie, I know you have not fully accepted me and don't like the choice I am making, but I love Edward and everyone in your family. I am hoping that one day we can be friends and that you will think of me as one of you… as your sister."

I gasped as Rosalie took my hand. "Bella, I know how you feel, I just don't understand how you can throw it all away so quickly. There is no going back once you are changed."

"I know, but there is no living without Edward. He is all I want. Without him, there is no reason to even exist."

Rosalie smiled, "I know. I feel that way about Emmett. I just wish we could have children, grow old and die the way it should be for people…."

I looked away from her for a minute and then not sure how she would respond asked the question I had pulled her away to ask, "Well, I wanted to talk to you to ask you if you would be one of my bridesmaids. I want my family and friends to stand up for me…"

Rosalie gave me a big smile and hugged me as I gasped for air. I was shocked, she had never touched me before and in the last few minutes, she held my hand and hugged me! "Bella, I am surprised you would ask me with how I have treated you… I would love to be your bridesmaid, and just so you know, I have thought of you as my sister since you saved Edward. I may not be good at showing it, but I do care for you deeply."

I felt dizzy… my head was spinning. Again I wondered if I was dreaming. This day was turning into an amazing day. "Do you think Emmett would get licensed to officiate at my wedding?" Rosalie threw her head back laughing.

"Do you really think that is the best idea? He can be pretty goofy Bella."

I threw her a grin, "I'm counting on that Rose!"

Walking back into the house I desperately wanted to run up to Edwards room but needed to ask Emmett first to perform the ceremony for me and Edward. "Emmett…" I started, "I was wondering if you would marry me and Edward…"

Emmett got a worried look on his face and then started to smile… "Bella, I don't think that is legal! I don't think Edward would be to happy to share you and I am pretty sure Rose…"

I flushed as he started laughing again. Out of nowhere a pillow smashed into Emmett's head. Rosalie stood there glaring at Emmett… "what the…" was all he muttered. He looked at Rose again and then back at me. "Alright, I would be happy to marry you guys, but I still don't think Edward wants to share…" Another pillow was flying through the air. He ducked out of the way this time still laughing.

I was taking two stairs at a time as I turned my head towards Emmett, "thanks… I think you can go online to get a license!" I tripped as I said this which made him howl even louder with laughter. Embarrassed, I slowed my pace, taking one step at a time.

I walked into Edwards room finding him laying on the bed with headphones on. His eyes were closed as he sang along with the music he listened to. I climbed up next to him and bent my head down for a kiss. His eyes opened as he reached up to pull my face down to his. "mmm, that was a very nice greeting" he breathed.

"I know… it's my favorite kind!" he took his headphones off and picked up the remote to turn the music off. Sitting up he looked at me and asked if everything went ok with Alice. I told him about the different conversations I had with Alice, Rosalie and Emmett. He smiled and pulled me to him.

"I love you and I love to see you smile Bella" He traced my lips with his cool finger as he spoke. "Can we talk honeymoon now or should we wait a few weeks?" I flushed and looked down embarrassed. He placed his hand under my chin and pulled my face up to look at him. "why are you blushing?"

"I am a little nervous… about how it will be… you know when we are married and we try for my human experience."

"Aaahhhh," he grinned, "I will be gentle, if it doesn't work while you are human, it will work when you are changed and less fragile!" He leaned his face to mine and pulled me to him as he laid back onto the bed. He tangled his hands into my hair and started kissing me, it felt different than before. My lips parted as his did and I traced his lips with my tongue. His tongue found mine and for the first time I really tasted his mouth. It was so much better than I had imagined. Edward groaned and pulled away gently.

"I better get you home before I decide to fly you to Vegas tonight!" I rolled off of him onto my back gasping for air. My head was spinning out of control.

"Vegas sound amazingly good right now Edward, lets go!" Edward threw his head back laughing and pulled me off the bed onto my feet.

"Now, we both would regret that tomorrow when we had to look into our families sad disappointed faces!" He picked me up and carried me down the stairs.

Emmett looked at us as we were getting ready to walk out the door, "Hey Edward, did Bella tell you she wants you to share with me? She wants me to marry you guys too!" I blushed as Rosalie smacked him in the head again.

Edward laughed "Not a chance! You will officiate ONLY!"
