24 hours earlier

Things were going exactly as planned. Everyone was able to get off work and we were headed to Sunny Florida. Jazz and Emm weren't happy about the 9 hours of flying but I told them there was no way out of it. Emmett decided he was going to moan and gripe about having to be stuck on a flight for so long. All it took was Rose threatening to not have any "Special fun time for 2 weeks" and he changed his tune. Edward was incredibly nervous. I went to sit next to him on the plane to have a chat.

"Edward what wrong. This is going to turn out great. Trust me. It`s like a 6th sense. I just see this happening the way we want it to. You do want this right? "

"Alice, you have no idea. I have waited for Bella for a long time. She is the only one for me. I`m just worried. What if it's not the same for her? I mean. She did leave. What if she doesn't feel for me the same way I feel for her. I mean she couldn't possibly love me as much as I love her but if she loves me even a fraction as much I'll take it. "

He had so many emotions running across his face I couldn't pick them out. He looked beyond nervous, excited, happy, sad so many things for one person to feel but most of all I think he looked like he was in love. "Edward. Ive known Bella a very long time. I can tell you that she left because she felt so strongly for you. She has been through so much in her life that she tends to run from things that make her happy, mainly because she doesn't want to take the chance of losing it, when her parents got a divorce that killed her. She had always known them to love each other and to always love her, but when they get the divorce things started to get hard for her. Her dad stayed here in Washington and her mom decided to move to Florida for awhile. She moved with her mom, only spending time with her dad on major holidays, but even then, because it was so far, she didn't get to visit all that often. "

"Did her parents hate each other or something? I mean why did they get a divorce."

"No. that's just it. They were always nice to each other, always caring for each other. The day they told Bella they were getting a divorce they told her that they both still loved her very much and that will never change, but that they just didn't love each other anymore. Until that moment she had no idea that there were any problems. So it took her for a loop. She started to get kind of shut off from everyone. Her mom knew she wasn't completely happy in Florida, she was making new friends and everything but her mom noticed she didn't have that spark she once had. She suggested that Bella come back home. I was really excited to get her back here and Charlie thought that being around old faces would make her happy again. So when Bella moved back she was getting better. I mean as well as she could be expected to be. I tried to keep her busy and keep her mind off of things, but her and Charlie were never the same. They hardly spoke. I mean I talked to Charlie more than she did. But as the years went by things started to go back to the way they used to be, But Bella never changed her thoughts on love. She swore that she would never let herself fall in love. It was a wasteful emotion and that if she took the time to love someone it would just end up broken in the end. So why waste the time and the energy."

"I really had no idea. That really explains a lot. I can't believe that after things the other night that she thinks I will do that to her." I could tell that he was conflicted. He couldn't let her go but he understood where she was coming from. It all made sense to him.

"Edward, I know she wouldn't have left if she didn't feel the way I'm sure she feels. This is going to be spectacular. After tonight she`ll have a whole new look on life. I know it. She has to. No one would be able to resist something that I planned. "I gave him a teasing wink and we went about talking about or plan for tomorrow.

It was late when we finally landed. Jazz and the boys got our bags from the luggage turnstile and we got a cab to take us to the hotel. I was sure that she wouldn't be roaming around the hotel at 12:30 in the morning but just in case we took the back entrance and sent Jasper to check us all in. we had 2 rooms in the main hotel for tonight so Edward would be staying in our room just for tonight. Tomorrow he`ll leave for the island in the morning in order to get some of the little things ready. We headed to bed for the night.

I was up at an ungodly hour in the morning. I had a full list of things to do. And yes. I made an actual list

Get in contact with the head Concierge.

Write script for desk clerk for the call to Bella`s room. Make sure she has the script in hand.

Ensure he knows when she will be finished with the spa and take her directly to the dress shop.

Have him meet with the captain and ensure the boat will be prepared properly. And ready to ship off on time.

Give Edward his list.

Have Emmett and Jazz prepare all the candles before Edward leaves.

Meet with the dressing consultant in the boutique to have 3 dresses for Bella to look at.

Make sure she knows which dress to have her wear. I know she won't be able to choose on her own. Oh yea … Don't forget the shoes.

Make sure Edwards Tux is pressed and with him before he leave for the Island.

I was already all ready to go and get things started. I had put Emmett and Jasper in charge of the candles. I needed them to be perfect. That needed to be put into the votives and placed in the fire proof bags. I didn't tell them exactly how many there really were. Let's just say I had 1 full suitcase just for them on the way here. Because there were so many candles I send them to put them together on the island. The Concierge allowed us to use a little room in the Maids quarters to prepare them. I had Jasper send me pictures every once and awhile to make sure things were going well. I was also able to talk the Concierge into having the staff on the island help to put the candles out when it came time. It was a huge relief to have the help. Don't get me wrong I don't think the boys would have don't it wrong, I just don't think they would be able to do it RIGHT.

Next stop was the dress shop. I introduced myself to the shop worker and explained everything that was going on. She was so excited to help. We chose 3 dresses that were incredible and I told her to make sure Bella wore the Blue one. She always looked beautiful in Blue, and for shoes I chose a great pair of lace up pumps. I was going to buy a pair for me but figured Bella will never wear them again so... Score... They were as good as mine.

The last stop for me was to meet up with Edward and get him ready to head over to the Island. I went back up to m our room and found him sitting at the desk looking out the window.

"Edward it`s almost time you headed over there. You ready."

"I`m more then ready. Just getting my thoughts together."

"Alright well come with me. We will get you finished up and down to the boat."

It was about 12 now and we had to hurry if we were going to get the few things left we needed and Edward to the boat by 12:30. We went down to the florist shop next to the hotel and bought every rose, Lilly, and Orchid they had. I have to say, Edward was sparing no expense. The Hotel alone was costing him a fortune. Good thing he doesn't have to worry about it. One of the workers in the florist show helped us, with the 5 boxes of flowers, to the boat. We loaded everything and I handed Edward his list. 10 minutes later he set off to get ready for what would be the beginning of the rest of his life.
