Hey Guys, sorry I am slow to update this story. We are in full football mode here, and our son is being deployed next month so I have been preoccupied. I have so many ideas rushing through my pea brain. Can't you see Edward "rushing" to Bella as she walks to him? I love hornyward! Sorry Steph…we just like to fantasize about your Edward. As always, I have no ownership to anything "Twilighty". Only, my fantasy of Edward in all ways is all mine.
Chapter 9
"Not now Edward!"
"Bella, my wife!" I said as I looked at her. I brought her ringed hand up to my mouth and placed a kiss on it.
"I love you, thank you for marrying me. You have made me the happiest man in the universe." I pulled her to me. I wanted to feel my wife tight up against me. Or maybe I shouldn't! Not sure how contained my dick will be. It wants to claim her as his own. Hmmmm… probably should have spent some extra alone time.
I could feel "it" start to come to life, so I knew Bella probably could too.
I heard her heart rate increase. I am sure I could feel her smile as she held her head tightly to my chest.
"Edward." She said. As she pulled herself tighter into my body.
"Yes love."
If she wants to be closer to me who am I to stop her?
"Do you think we could sneak away for a little while before someone would notice us missing?"
"Well absolutely not Bella!" We turned to the voice and saw Alice standing there giving us that, "you better not even think of it" stare.
"Alice you are no fun!" Bella said.
"She's right, because I don't want to just spend a little while with you, I want you for a very long time." I whispered into her ear, and then placed a kiss on her neck and shoulder.
"I can't wait my beautiful husband." She whispered as she kissed my throat. I think I groaned as her lips touched my skin.
"Come on you two, the sooner we get done here the sooner you two can…whatever!" Alice said.
"Okay sister dear lead the way." I said as I pulled my bride by the hand to follow wedding nazi.
She stopped us at the closed French doors.
"Introducing for the first time, my son Edward and his beautiful bride Bella Cullen." We heard Carlisle say then the doors were open and we walked through them to be greeted by applause, whistles and catcalls.
I heard Em say, "Are you in the club yet?" I just laughed and looked down at my wife as she looked at me and mouthed, "What club?" I shook my head at her and said, "I will tell you later."
We were greeted with hugs, kisses and handshakes from our friends and family. Bella & I never let go of our hands. I have her now and every second of forever, I hope some part of me (wiggling my eyes brows at myself) will be touching her.
Sometimes reading people's minds are a real pain in my ass…it really is a good thing I have perfected my perfect poker face.
(Mikes' head conversation)
"I can't believe she picked Cullen, he still looks as if he wants to eat her."
Okay time to fuck with Mike. I leaned over to Mike where only he could hear and said, "Yes Mike, I do want to eat her!" Then I winked at him, and clapped him on the shoulder. I snickered to myself.
"Congrats guys!" He said as he extended his hand to shake mine. Oh pleez really Mike, you think that human stupid-ass grip will affect me? He wants to play I will play along. I added a little more strength to my grip. I saw the affect it had on his face. Bella knew exactly what I was doing.
"Come darling husband. We have so many people to greet."
"Bye Bella." He said as I released his hand.
"Bye Mike." I said. I noticed he started rubbing his now sore hand. I laughed aloud. Bella turned to look at me, "You're a bad boy Cullen." She said.
"Darling you have no idea!" I said as I winked at her and kissed the tip of her nose.
I turned toward Mike as we walked away and smiled.
"Did I say that out loud?" He wondered to himself.
"Well, if you two aren't the cutest couple ever." Mrs. Cope said as she pulled us into a tight "motherly" hug.
(Mrs. Cope's head)
"Whew girl, you are one lucky woman. He feels so firm and fit. I can just imagine what his…" I had to interrupt that thought. "Thank you Mrs. Cope, I do feel pretty lucky, we are honored to you have you here." I said, as I kissed the back of her hand. Okay Gross, her heartbeat just sped up.
"Told ya she felt that way!" I heard Jasper say to me in vamp whispering. I rolled my eyes at the thought.
Okay Jessica and Lauren should be harmless.
"Bella you are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." Jessica said.
"Thank you Jess, but all brides are beautiful."
"No Bella, you really are. Accept that you are a beautiful woman, and are now my beautiful wife." I said.
(The girls' head)
"Awwwww…."
"How is it that a plain, brunette average girl moves here and snags fuckin' Cullen? I could make all his dreams or at least sexual ones come true." Lauren said.
I really wished vampires could vomit!
"Wow what I wouldn't give to be in her shoes…or bed tonight." Jess thought.
I think I did actually vomit in my mouth a bit.
"Thank you both for coming and wishing Bella well. You were great friends to her, especially how you welcomed my shy beauty he
re on her first day."
"You're welcome." They said in unison.
We greeted various people from the hospital and police department.
Then we finally approached Bella's family; Charlie, Renee & Phil. Their thoughts were only of love and good wishes. Of course Charlie still not believing I was anywhere near good enough for his baby girl; but somehow I will prove my worthiness to him.
Looking in Charlie's eyes I surprised him by saying, "Charlie, I promise Bella will not go one day in need of anything, I will protect her and love her as you have done for all her life." At that, he put his arms around me and hugged me.
"That's all I ask Ed…son." I smiled knowing he did believe me.
"Renee, thank you for giving me the most beautiful and perfect woman in the world. I want you to know as her mother; that I will cherish her no matter what comes our way, and she will never go to sleep doubting my love for her." And as expected she pulled me into her for a "motherly" hug.
"Wow Bella, your husband is… well what I mean is wow." Renee said. I rolled my eyes at that.
"I am so happy for you sweetheart." She said to her daughter.
"thank you mom, I am happy as well, and yes I think he is perfect too. And "wow" is a perfect word to describe him…all of him!" Bella nudged me and smiled.
"Bella please don't give me bedroom eyes right now, my dick does not understand that they are your parents!" I said to myself.
"How much longer Alice?" I thought to myself.
"Quite a while Edward." Alice returned the thought to me. I huffed to myself.
"Phil I am also glad you came, I know it has been difficult for you to get around with your injury but we are honored you came." I said and shook his hand.
We finally made it over to the head table.
"Bella you need to eat. You will want the energy later." I said and leaned over and kissed her neck.
"Edward stop. It is kind of embarrassing knowing that people know what we will be doing later." She whispered at me. I smiled at the thought.
"Why Bella Cullen, just what do you have in mind for your new husband?" I said acting all shy.
"Whatever Edward…you have been thinking about your husband duties as well." She said.
"I certainly have my love." Again, I kissed her neck.
"Edward I am going to pull the hose on you if you don't stop!" Alice said.
"Please do, that way we can go change clothes….and let one thing lead to another." I said to her, of course our conversations are always in our heads.
Ting-ting-ting!
"If I may have your attention please." Carlisle said with Esme at his side beaming like a proud mother.
"We are so happy you could share this day with us as we welcome our children in wedded bliss." He said.
"Edward, I hope that, no…I know that you have found the love of your life. It really only happens once, please cherish her every single day. True love is a God given right to those that believe. He has blessed you with the wonderful and beautiful woman that sits next to you. I hope you realize what great things you can achieve with her at your side." Carlisle said as he nodded at me. Oh Lord, I really am a pussy. Vampire tears again appeared in my eyes, as I knew my father sincerely meant every word he said. I nodded to him.
I pulled Bella into me. I looked down at her, and noticed that tears were falling down her cheeks. If I could, tears would have been falling all day long down my face. I noticed Esme had silent vampire tears as well.
Esme took the microphone from Carlisle.
"Now…not sure I could have said that any better. Bella, I know that I may be biased when I say that the man next to you is as near perfect as they come. (I rolled my eyes, what man wants to be told he is perfect…that's a lot of pressure) When we adopted Edward not too many years ago, his birth mother had made my job easy. I expected him to be rebellious, angry and sad. However, what I got was a boy that grew up into a smart, considerate and very handsome gentleman. He had his moments now mind you, but for the most part he was a joy to me."
"Edward, your birth parents, Edward Sr. and Elizabeth are looking down on you from Heaven. They would be so proud of you. I love you!"
"Suck up" Emmett shouted out as he looked at me.
"Bella, I can almost say with 100% confidence that Edward loves you with all his heart, body and soul. I have watched him from afar as many moms' do. The way he looks at you makes any woman that notices swoon and turn green with envy. I should know because I too, have a near perfect man next to me. The Cullen men are true lovers…. (The entire room started snickering), now get your minds' out of the gutter. What I mean is… when they choose to love they will give it all they got. (More with the snickering) I promise you will never question the love and devotion he has for you. A couple of them tend to be a little to protective, I won't mention any names…but it isn't Jasper or Emmett. (Laughing). My dear as exciting as this is to you now; I promise your lives together can only get better from this day forward. I love you two with all of my heart. Thank you Edward for giving me another daughter as perfect as the other two I have."
"Suck up" Emmett repeated.
Carlisle lifted his champagne flute, "To Edward and his Bella."
Everybody repeated.
"Now I believe a certain groom wanted to say a few words." Carlisle motioned for me to join him. Please God let my dick not come to life right now. I silently prayed to the heavens, "Please let my dick stay asleep for a little while longer!"
"Edward." Bella said as I stood up and leaned down to kiss the top of her head.
As I walked over to the stage, my pristine beautiful piano was being rolled up out on another stage.
I walked up to my parents' and thanked them for their kind words.
"Okay…well, (clearing my throat) you two are a hard act to follow. But seriously, I am only the way I am because you have given me so much and have always been loving and perfect parents."
"Suck up"
"And I wouldn't be the man I am, if it wasn't for that woman over there. You can't miss her; she is the most beautiful bride in the world. Don't you all agree?"
Applause, applause, catcalls….
"Suck up"
"Bella, If not for you being born, growing up and being transplanted in this small part of the world; thank you Charlie by the way. I would not be standing here as the luckiest man on the planet. But as I was saying, my life before you was like a moonless night. And then you shot across my sky and suddenly everything was bright and new. You have blinded me by your beauty, your courage, your trust and most importantly, you gave me your love. I promise that I will never fail you and I will always love you. Thank you for giving me life, Mrs. Isabella Marie Swan Cullen. You humble me by your presence."
I stepped off the stage and walked towards my now crying bride. "I really hope those are tears of happiness or your very intimidating father will shoot me."
"You got that right." I heard Charlie say.
"Isabella, my wife will you please join me for a moment." I said as I extended my hand to help her stand. "Edward…noooo, you know I don't like attention." Everybody laughed!
"Well darling, it's too late to be bashful now; you most certainly have captivated us all." I said as I leaned down and kissed her.
"Get a room!"
Oh how I want to do just that. I thought to myself.
"Come Bella…there is one thing that must happen before you are "officially a Cullen". I said as we walked up the stairs to the stage.
"Now you tell me Mr. Cullen! I didn't realize there was some sort of initiation to join the Cullen's." Bella said.
Everybody laughed.
"You will learn the password and secret handshake later." I said.
Walking over to the microphone, I turned towards my wife.
"Bella, the ceremony was only one part of becoming my wife, as honored as I am; you have chosen to become Isabella Cullen, you have chosen my family as well. And in doing so will you do me the extraordinary honor of wearing the Crest of Cullen?" I said as I kneeled before her on one knee.
As she looked down at me with her mouth gaping, I presented her a black box with a beautifully tied red ribbon. I opened the lid. As I stood before her, I noticed the tears once again began to fall. I gently brought my hand to cup her cheek, leaned in, and kissed the tear away before it fell. I held out her right wrist and placed the bracelet around it. Since we were all personalizing the bracelet to welcome her I chose a beautiful "crystal" heart. (Of course you and I both know that I would never buy my Bella a crystal heart; yes it is a 3 carat diamond charm….we won't tell her.)
Emmett was next in line to present his own charm to Bella. He chose a platinum teddy bear. That had some meaning to them. Whatever!
Rosalie gave Bella a beautiful platinum rose. She leaned in and kissed her new sister on the cheek. I have to say my heart was swelling with pride. (snicker-snicker…swelling)
Jasper's charm was of course the shape of Texas with a Blue topaz star in the middle. Very appropriate for a Major in the US Cavalry.
Alice walked over to her and after placing a kiss on her cheek, a charm that resembled a high-heeled shoe was placed on the bracelet. "For all of the shopping we will do."
Alice stopped and hugged me as she walked past.
Esme's turn:
"My dear new daughter I give you this butterfly. To me butterflies have always brought such happiness and reminds us all how precious life is. You my darling have brought such happiness to our little family. And I am so thankful that you have brought happiness and love to my son." Wow, I am a total pussy. The love I have for these two women astounds me. I walked over to the hugging pair and kissed them both on their foreheads. A hand on my shoulder interrupted our little hug-fest. I felt Bella being pulled from me. What the..? Oh Sorry Dad.
"Well Bella, I guess it's my turn. Let's see what we have so far. We have a teddy bear; I don't even want to know what it means. A beautiful rose. A reminder that from this day forward you will be related to a professional shopper. We have a butterfly that resembles the life you have brought to us all. Then the beautiful "crystal" heart (I noticed he winked at me at the word crystal). That heart resembles the love my son has for you. And by the looks of it, he must love you a whole hell of a lot. Now Bella, as we told you before you aren't truly a Cullen until you have your own family crest. As the patriarch of the family it is truly my honor to present you with this crest." He reached up to her wrist and placed the crest on the bracelet.
"And now my sweet daughter, you are a Cullen. Would everybody please welcome the newest member of our family…Isabella Marie Swan Cullen or as I am sure she prefers Mrs. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen."
Everybody stood and applauded. I walked over to my beautiful bride and placed a not so appropriate kiss upon her lips. To give her a preview of what is to come, I brushed my tongue across her bottom lip. Oh, my God…she tastes good. I stepped away from her leaving our foreheads together. "I love you my sweet Bella."
As I pulled away from Bella, I noticed she was like frozen. "Bella…breathe honey." I quickly kissed her lips maybe to break the trance she is in.
Finally, she blinked her eyes and smiled at me. "Wow Edward." She said.
Everybody hooted and hollered.
I noticed that the orchestra we hired had assembled behind my piano.
"Now if we may have your attention I believe our groom has a surprise he would like to give to Bella. Edward…the room is yours."
As if on cue, the lights dimmed. I walked over to my piano leaving Bella standing on the stage by herself.
Once seated I adjusted the microphone that was attached to my piano. I just started running my fingers over the keys.
"Now Bella, I want you to know that this is not an original song. But the words have never been truer when it comes to the love I have for you." I winked at her and noticed she had tears again. (A/N: I would love for Edward to sing, "I can't help falling in love with you", but Michael Buble's version.)
I started the introduction,
"Wise men say only fool's fall in love
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Something's are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you.
After I finished the rest of the song, you could have heard a pin drop it was so quiet.
I looked over at my Bella; she opened her arms to me. I got up from the bench and as I stepped down off the stage Bella threw herself into my arms. I pulled her up eyelevel to me. Her feet were off the ground and I had my arms totally wrapped around her. She held onto me so tightly and her tears and cries started all over again.
"Bella I love you so much. Are you sure you are happy, you have cried many tears today."
She looked up at me and started kissing my neck, my cheeks, my jaw and then finally my lips.
"Edward….I is so in love with you it almost hurts. Thank you for marrying me."
We held and kissed each other. I think people were used to it by now, so they went on with the party.
Once again, Carlisle was up at the microphone.
"I am not sure how much more we can take…but as tradition. Edward and Bella please honor us with a first dance between husband and wife."
"Shall we?" I said to my wife. Without hesitation, she placed her hand into my hand and I led her to the center of the floor.
I nodded at the orchestra. Three men dressed in White tuxedos walked up to the microphone, they sang their rendition of "The way you look tonight" A/N: (go listen to The Letterman singing this, it will bring tears to your eyes.
"Listen to the words Bella, never have truer words been spoken about true love. I am so honored that you married me, and here I stand holding you in front of God and all of these people. I love you with all of my heart, thank you." I noticed her "happy" tears started once again. So as before I leaned down to kiss her wet cheeks. I pulled her to me; we both clasped our arms around each other. I laid my chin on top of her head, and softly sang the song to her.
"Lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight.
As the song came to an end I dipped her and placed a not for public kiss upon my wife's lips.
Everybody clapped and whistled. Both of us were breathing a little heavier at this point. I smiled at her and pulled her up. She wobbled a little on her feet, so I made sure she was balanced.
"Do I make you dizzy Bella?"
"Yes…when can we leave?" She said.
"Soon my angel…hopefully very, very, VERY soon." I said and looked over at Alice.
"Soon Edward…I promise." Alice said to me.
