I awoke quietly, finding my god laying next to my side. He was curled up next to me, holding me at the waist as his head laid on my shoulder. He must have felt my breathing grow different, for he kissed my neck, sending a chill down my spine. "Bella, you awake?" he asked me sweetly.

I yawned and nodded, bumping my chin on his head. "Ouch!" I laughed a little. He sat up and laughed, rubbing under my chin for a minute, and all the pain dulled. He had my chin in his grasp, only gently, but still in his hands, at his will. He brought my own toward his face and kissed me on the lips.

"Good morning." he whispered.

"A kiss from you… hmm… yea. I'd have to say that it's already a good morning." I grinned. His laugh boomed throughout his room and he swooped me into his arms as I rubbed my eyes groggily. "What time is it?" I asked him quietly as he glided down the large stairs leading down to his first story.

"It's only 10 love. Are you okay? You haven't been sleeping well lately." He asked concerned, as we entered the kitchen.

"I know… I don't know. I'm fine I guess, it's just I've been thinking a lot about the wedding and such. You know, anxious." I shrugged as he sat me in one of the chairs.

He smiled widely at me, "You!? Anxious!?" he asked in mock surprise. I laughed as he opened the 'prop' of a fridge. "What would you like for breakfast?" he asked me sweetly, dropping a kiss on my forehead quickly and returning to the fridge in the blink of an eye.

I decided I wasn't sure, but I knew I wanted another one of his kisses. I stood gingerly and walked toward him, wrapping my arms around his side. I leaned up to kiss his lips gently. "That's a good appetizer." I teased. "But… how about waffles?" I asked, biting my lip.

"Your wish. My command." he agreed, making me sit back down as he prepared my breakfast in silence. After a few moments, he came to me, plopping down a plate of 2 waffles and maple syrup in front of me. I smiled at him and began to eat it in small bites.

I glared down at the plate and then back up at his face. He had a look of concern, and worry on his face. "what is it Bella?" he asked.

"You are good… at everything!" I answered with a bit of a smile.

His laugh filled the kitchen. "Not everything." he whispered. "not everything."

"What are you thinking?" I asked him quietly, as I shoved another bite into my mouth. His cooking was almost as good as his kisses, or his cold iron grasp, or his love. I shot him a smile and he shot one back, and yet it never reached his eyes.

"About how you always say I'm so good at everything, and yet, I can't give you everything you deserve." he whispered, his hand covering my free one on the table.

I sighed, "Edward, stop." I whispered. I put the fork down, and pushed out of my chair, lifting him with me. "Look in my eyes." I told him sternly, for he had been averting his own. He obeyed and I grabbed his face in my hands. "I don't deserve much Edward, and you have given me everything I'll ever want, or need. Well, with the exception of making love…" I blushed and I think I saw his lip twitch. "And that can wait." I continued. "But right now I'm content with you being here. And me being your fiancé. And me awaiting the moment I can call you my husband." I finished.

He looked into my eyes again, "God Bella how I love you." and then he was kissing me. He pulled away gently. "Soon. Only about a week."

My eyes grew, "A week!? Really?" I asked stunned. I thought I had a month, hell, 2 months, but a week!?

He put his arm around my back and pushed hair out of my face. "Bella, yes. About a week. Are you ready?"

I nodded, as I felt myself relax from being in his arms. "I'm ready." I told him sternly. I looked up at his eyes, "I'm ready to be yours."

"I was sort of under the impression you already were."

"Oh. I'm sorry, in the government's eyes Mr. technicalities." I explained sarcastically.

"Oh! I get it." he mused, kissing me again. "If it helps, I can't wait to call you my wife. Besides that… there's so much more I can't wait for." his voice had dropped down, lower, and even sweeter than before. My head felt a bit dizzy and my mind comprehended what he was saying as he kissing below my ear, making his way to my lips by trailing kisses down my jaw line.

"E-Edward…" I whispered, attempting to keep my will at bay. I needed to stick this out. I needed to do this right. And yet, I wanted so badly, as I had in the meadow, to just throw away my principals and let us try right now to make love. I knew it would be difficult, but he seemed so for it now. He seemed to want it almost as bad as I did.

He didn't seem to budge as I pushed against him lightly, "Edward." I cleared my throat, "P-please stop."

He obliged, swallowing once and licking his lips. Coughing once, he rubbed the back of his neck and looked into my eyes. I thought I could see something behind that calm façade, was it rejection? "Don't you want me Bella?" he asked, with a hint of doubt swimming in his voice.

I felt a tear enter my eye as I ignored it, "Yes. So bad… but I.. I want to do this the right way…" I whispered, only wanting the pain in his eyes to go back to whatever rock it crawled out from under. He nodded, and looked down at his feet, then back up at him. "Please? I love you Edward, you know that right? I do Edward, I just want to wait until the marriage. Please…" I pleaded.

He put his hand at the small of my back and pulled me to his chest, "Of course Bella, I love you too sweetheart. Please, you don't have to Bella, I just want you…." he seemed to hesitate, "I just want you to have everything to make you happy. You've sacrificed so much for me, all I want to do for you is try." he whispered, his hand rubbing gentle circles on my back. His voice dropped to barely a whisper, "I think you're right. I don't think I will hurt you." he kissed my neck gently.

I nuzzled his chest, my heart swelling. I almost knew he could hear my heart beating deftly loud, for I heard it in my own ears. "So.." I breathed, "You'll wait?"

Edward laughed, "Don't be so outrageous Bella dear! Of course! I promise, I won't kiss you like that until you're ready."

I sighed into his chest, "One week."

"Alright Bella. If you wish."

"I do! I do Edward." I pulled away and looked up at my Angel.

He laughed again, "Sit, eat. The family will be here soon." I nodded, kissing him quickly once more before sitting down and stuffing my face with waffles, which were soon enough gone.

As if on cue, just as Edward picked up my plate and cleaned it quickly, the family walked in the room. Alice had Jasper on his heels, Carlisle and Esme right behind them, along with Emmett. Rosalie ignored all of us, gliding up the stairs to her and Emmett's room quickly and quietly.

Jasper looked at Edward and I cautiously. "What are you guys talking' about?" he asked, "The longing in here is overwhelming." he said to my extreme embarrassment.

Edward grinned, "Talking about…" he paused, "the wedding."

This made Emmett grin back. "Aren't cha' glad that I'm marrying you two Bell?" he asked me childishly.

"You aren't aloud to make jokes during the ceremony." I teased.

He teased back. "Fine." he pouted.

Edward and I laughed, "Thank you for doing it though." Edward said politely.

I nodded and looked at Alice and Jasper, "Thanks for arranging the wedding Alice." I said quietly, running over to her and hugging her tightly. She laughed and hugged me too.

"Of course Bells. You'll be our sister soon, what else could I do?" she smiled.

"Don't make me wear anything frilly?" I teased.

The room laughed and I walked back to Edward, on my way, tripping on my own feet and falling. Somehow, he didn't catch me, and I bashed my head into the corner of the table. I smelt rust and salt. Blood.

"I'm so sorry!" I said weakly, as I felt the blood drip down my cheek. Edward was at my side in a moment, and I heard snarling in the distance. "I'm sorry!" I whispered.

Edward held me tightly. "Don't be Bella, sh…. It's alright." but I felt his chest tense and heard a low growl, so deep I could barely hear, in the bottom of his throat.
