Hey!! I finally got the next chapter up Yay me!! So BD is out, but I'm going to continue this story. This is kinda my version of Breaking Dawn. But I will NOT put that baby in my story. "Nessie" is not in my story. Sorry. Thanks to eRegz( go look at her stories) for keeping me going on FLW. Enjoy:)
I heard birds chirping and someone bustling around loudly. I cracked one eye open to see Alice running around my room excitedly.
"Shhh, Alice, she's sleeping," Edward scolded. What was Alice doing in my room?
"No, she's not. She's just trying to delay the inevitable," Alice retorted.
I was getting married today. To Edward. I sat up quickly.
"Bella," Edward said, cautiously.
"Bella," Alice rejoiced, "It's time for your big day! We have so much to do. We have your hair, your nails, and oh, the dress!"
"Alice," Edward warned.
"Oh, Edward, don't be such a spoil sport," Alice chided.
"Can Edward come?" I asked.
"No, silly, it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding," Alice answered, still skipping around my room. I pouted.
"Bella, it's just a couple of hours," Edward said, but I saw that he didn't want to be parted from me either.
"Come on," Alice urged, finally annoyed with my lack of movement.
"I want to stay with Edward," I whined.
"Nope, I'll give you five minutes," Alice said, simply, gliding out of the room. I glanced up at Edward who was looking at me impassively.
"I guess I have to go," I said, defeated. Edward chuckled.
"It's only a few hours, love, and remember, it will be worth it in the end," he said, giving me a kiss.
"One minute," Alice called. Edward grinned as I grimaced.
"I love you, Mrs. Cullen."
I smiled. I would be Mrs. Cullen at the end of this day. "And I love you, Mr. Cullen." Edward gave me another peck before jumping out my window. I smiled longingly as I saw him go. It would be worth it…in the end.
I jumped as Alice bounded into my room. "Let's go," she sang. I groaned as Alice trickled a laugh. She ran me to the Cullen house and set me down in her staggeringly vast bathroom. My brow puckered as I saw all the products on countertop. Rose was waiting there, looking smug. Even though we were getting along and I understood her a bit better, I knew she still liked to cause me problems. Tanya was no where in sight and I had an ironclad promise from Alice that Tanya would not be with Edward, but I had the feeling Edward would take care of her if need be.
I took a shower and then Rose and Alice started picking and prying at me. I sat as patiently as I could, but I hated being away from Edward. After about an hour they had finished just my make-up. Which I thought was ridiculous and when I voiced this Alice just laughed and said these things take time. I admitted to myself that I looked pretty good. The make-up was soft and made my eyes a bit more defined. It took thirty minutes for them to dry the mess that was my hair. By this time I was getting nervous. I was unclasping and clasping my hands and chanting my wedding vows like a mantra.
"Bella, it's going to be fine. Stop being nervous," Rose ordered.
"Sorry," I muttered.
"Now, what shall we do with her hair? I have some ideas, but I don't know what to do exactly," Alice asked, frowning at me in concentration.
"I don't know. I was thinking half up half up down, curly, but that might not work," Rosalie replied. Then, they started talking in a language not known to me. They were talking about pins and curls and God only know what. Finally, they agreed on something. I had the feeling I was going to be late to my own wedding. Rose started curling my hair and Alice was twisting my hair in a complicated way. The outcome was not what I expected. My hair was in a loose bun with curls cascading softly to frame my face. I inhaled quickly. I looked…beautiful. I heard low chuckles behind me.
"Wow, guys, I love it," I said.
"Did you expect anything else?" Alice asked appalled. I laughed.
"No, never from you, Alice," I answered.
"Okay, we have an hour to get you in the dress and to the wedding. Lets go," Alice sounded like a coach giving his team a pep-talk.
We went into Alice's room and they helped me get into my dress. It was beautiful. It was old, but had a modern look to it. While Alice and Rose went to get themselves ready I looked at myself in the full length mirror. I gasped. The dress hugged my every curve and the make-up, shoes, nails made everything come together. Butterflies were bantering in my stomach as my mother walked in. Tears started forming in her eyes as she saw me.
"My little girl's all grown up," she cried. I rolled my eyes to keep from crying. She hugged me tightly. "You look so beautiful."
"I love you, mom," I said, my voice catching. She cupped my cheek with one hand.
"Edward's a good man, Bella. You're going to be so happy," she said, smiling. That about did it for me. I started to break down.
"No!" Alice exclaimed, "No crying! You have make-up on!" Renee let out a watery chuckle.
"She's right, Bella, this is a happy time."
Rose glided into the room, looking stunning in the light blue dress Alice had picked out. She squeezed my hand before leading my mom downstairs. I was going to get married. I was going to become Isabella Cullen. I looked up at Alice who was smiling, fondly, at me.
"Oh, Bella," she sighed, sitting next to me, "You look beautiful. You've made us all so happy and I have another sister!" I laughed. "I love you, Bella," she continued.
"I love you too, sis," I replied, grabbing her into a hug.
"We'd better get going," Alice said. She helped me maneuver my way down the stairs. Once I was safely on level ground Esme came up to me.
"Bella, dear," she breathed, "I'm so very excited that you'll be apart of our family officially. You've brought Edward more joy than you realize." My bottom lip quivered.
"No!" Alice scolded.
Esme smiled gently. "Don't mind Alice she just wants you to have your big day."
"I know. Thanks you so much-"
"No, Bella, thank you," she replied forcefully. Esme, Alice, Rose, my mother, and I stuffed ourselves into Emmett's monstrous jeep and we were off to the church. Edward and I had picked a simple, but beautiful chapel.
I blew out a sigh I had been holding. I was nervous. What if I tripped down the aisle? What if I ruined my dress? What if Tanya tried to ruin the wedding? The possibilities were endless.
"Calm down, baby," Renee cooed. I chewed on my bottom lip as we pulled into the church parking lot. Cars filled most of the spaces. I was hoping to get a glimpse of Edward, but to my disappointment I was whisked off to a back room. My mother and Esme had already taken their seats. I paced back and forth in the tiny space the room allotted.
"Bella," Alice sighed, "Jasper says he can feel your nerves and since Edward can read his mind Edward can feel your nerves, and now Edward is worried. And when Edward is worried he tends to overreact. This will lead him to burst through this door and see you in your dress before the wedding starts, which will lead to you two having bad luck for the rest of eternity. So…..I suggest you calm down." I glared at her.
"I want to see Edward," I whined.
"I'm here, love," said a voice from the other side of the door.
"Edward!" I jumped up and started towards the door.
"Edward," Alice growled.
"Alice, let me see Bella," Edward ordered.
"Yeah, let him see me," I repeated.
"Nope," Alice replied. "Go away, Edward, or I will have you escorted away," Alice continued, looking down at her nails. I pouted. Edward growled. I knew it was a hopeless fight.
"So help me, Alice, I'll tear down the door," Edward snarled.
"You wouldn't and you won't," Alice said assuredly.
"Edward, just go. I'll see you soon," I sighed.
"Are you sure, love?" he asked.
"Yes. I love you."
"Not as much as I love you," he replied. And then I assumed he was gone, seeing as I can never hear his lithe footsteps.
Those ten minutes were the longest of my life. Finally, Alice squealed and Charlie came to get me.
"Oh, Bells you look…beautiful," he said, tears in his eyes. I rushed to give my dad a hug. My heels made it difficult, but I got there in one piece.
"I love you, dad," I whispered.
"I love you, Bella," he replied, gruffly. I linked my arm through his and we were situated behind the doors. Butterflies were battering in my stomach. I was walking down the aisle Bella Swan and was walking back up the aisle Bella Cullen. The music started and Alice and Rose floated down the walk way. The wedding march started and the door opened. Charlie led me down the excruciatingly long aisle, but I only had eyes for Edward. He was so beautiful it almost hurt to look at him. The black of his tuxedo contrasted perfectly with his pale skin. He was smiling his crooked smile and was staring at me, drinking me in, just as I was to him.
I reached the end and Charlie kissed my cheek and handed me over to Edward.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," the Priest started, but I wasn't listening. Edward's eyes were much easier to fall into. He squeezed my hand. His eyes shone with love, happiness, and desire, and mine, I'm sure, mirrored his. Edward started talking and I realized the vows had started.
"Isabella Marie Swan, I've loved you from the first moment I saw you, even if I didn't realize it," Edward's voice turned the words into music. I heard Emmett chuckle at Edward's words. "You are my everything. If I could give you the universe, I would. You have helped me become a better man and a better person. You brighten my day and I never want to be a day without you. I love you, Bella."
Tears were streaming down my face. I loved Edward so much. He reached over to wipe away the tears. A few people let out watery chuckles.
"Bella, you may say your vows," the Priest said.
I took a deep breath. "Edward Anthony Cullen, you became my everything so fast. I want to be with every single second of every single day. I'm willing to do anything and everything to be with you forever," I said, quietly. His eyes flashed and he grinned slightly as he caught my double meaning. "You have completed me in every possible way and I never want to be parted from you. I love you…so much." It look like Edward wanted to scoop me up in his arms right there.
"If anyone has any objections as to why these two-" But he was interrupted by the door bursting open. I whipped my head around and my eyes widened.
Edward growled.
