"One more push and he should be here." The nurse says as I scream the pain is horrible and I just want this baby out and to be done.
"Oh there he is look Isabella he is perfect." The doctor says and goes to put him on my chest.
"No take him away I don't want to see him." I let the strangled words out. The nurse takes him away I turn away from the door and close my eyes. I pray that God will give him more of me and none of Jasper and that his parents will love him. I will never be the same my heart is broken. I always wanted children and now the one I gave birth is leaving me forever.
The house is quiet when I walk in I live with Leah but she is on vacation right now which is perfect. I just want to be alone. I feel empty and angry I didn't want the baby but I feel incredibly empty and alone without him. I did the right thing for both of us but I am so angry that I had to make that choice. I will never let someone hurt me again I have to get strong and live a good life to honor the child I gave up.
Present day
"I fucking love you." Edward whispers in my ear as we stand on the beach facing the ocean.
"I fucking love you too." I say back leaning back into him and humming when his scruff runs along my neck. My whole body warms with his lips against my neck. We have been sleeping in the same bed for 3 months I officially moved in a few weeks ago and rented my place out. We haven't slept together and it has been surprisingly nice I have only slept with one man and he is dead. I'm not ready yet and I think Edward understands that. I told him everything 2 nights ago we are staying in a house in beautiful home in Oceanside California. It has been bliss I am loving the beach and the sun. Edward bends down and kisses me and a kiss that starts sweet and innocent turns hot very quickly.
When Edward pulls away he holds the back of my head were both breathing hard our bodies are flush against one another and he looks so amazing out here in the sunset and ocean.
"Lets get married." Edward says never taking his eyes off mine and I know he is not joking. He was series when he told me that when he wants something he gets it. When we came to California it was a needed break Alison is pregnant and asking for advise and I have none to give its not my circus and i can't have an opinion for my own sake.
"I didn't hear a question." I whisper against Edwards lips running my tongue along his bottom lip I know that if we hit the bed right now I would give him my body and the rest of my soul.
"Isabella Marie James will you get in the car with me drive to Vegas and do a crazy thing and marry me? Be mine, my parter, lover and my best friend. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Edward asks but he never removes his body from mine both hands are holding my head, his eyes locked on mine.
" I will kneel if you want I will run through the town screaming that I love you." He says and goes to take a step back and I tighten my arms that are on his hips. He laughs because he knows that I ;love the way he holds me.
"Don't you dare move but I may take you up on the screaming someday. Yes, Edward I will be your wife but you are truly doing me the honor. I can't believe that you found me and chose to love me. I don't know where I would be without you, I have never wanted to be a damsel in distress but you saved me. Lets go get married."
"YES, She said yes." He yells so loud that I jump he picks me up and I wrap my legs around him and kiss him like it's the last time.
"I will spend forever making you as happy as I possibly can. I love you." Edward tells me before kissing me again. He is now walking toward the stairs that take us up to the house.
"Okay let me down." I say to him as we get close to the stairs.
"Not a chance in hell almost ." I laugh at his words openly and lay my head against his chest because this is my favorite place in the world.
" I made a reservation for the hotel and called the rental car company to let them know we will drop the car off in Vegas vs here." Edward says as he walks back into the bedroom. We can come back I promise he says as he kisses my bare shoulder. I smile at him I love this house.
"What would you say if I told you that at this time tomorrow this home will be yours?" I gasp and turn to him. I know I look crazy my eyes wide and my mouth is open.
"You are cute and yes you close on this tomorrow I bought this for you in your name only. I want you to always have something that is yours I want to give you security and I know that you can give that to yourself but I want to give it to you so this house is my wedding present to you." He tells me kissing me again and walking around me and grabbing the luggage I just finished packing.
"It is to much but I love it so why fight fate right." I say agreeing because really why fight over a beautiful blessing.
"Where do you want to get married the court house, little white chapel or if you really want we can plan a big wedding?" Edward says holding my hand over the console it is pitch black outside of the city.
"I want a dress but it doesn't have to be white and the little white chapel would be perfect my family is gone its just me. Your it for me why wait." I tel him and look out the window my mom would have loved Edward and his wanderlust my dad would have loved his protectiveness. I miss them both especially now that we are heading to a chapel. Edward kisses my hand.
"Rose is going to shit when we get home. And she is your sister now too so get ready." Edward says and laughs. I look over at him and laugh to because he is right she is going to flip out. Leah is going to kill me we have spoken some but not as often as we used to because I am not at work but she moved in with Paul. We check into the hotel around one in the morning and the clerk tells us congratulations I blush.
I find a dress the next day in one of the shops close to the chapel and I even get an appointment at a local salon to get a quick cut and style for my curls. I get dressed at the hotel and Edward orders a car for me to the chapel. The dress is not a bridal gown but it is beautiful all the same. Knee length, lace mermaid dress that gathers to the side on the bodice just under its sweetheart neckline. Complete with lace capped sleeves that button in the back to form a keyhole back. I bought beautiful platinum LB's to go with the platinum and royal blue dress. My hair is swept to one side and curled perfectly.
I stopped today in my shopping and bought my soon to be husband a double platinum wedding band and got the date engraved the blue bag special was not cheap and I had to beg for the engraving. But I got it and the troupe of butterflies that has been set loose in my stomach I take my phone out and take a selfie with the box. This is how everyone will find out I am married. Edward is waiting for me out side of the chapel and he looks amazing his hair is slicked back from his face and he has cleaned his facial hair up into a very sexy goatee he has a black suit on and a dark blue shirt n tie and the top buttons undone. Swoon …
"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold in sickness and in health from this day forward so long as you both shall live?" Elvis asks me and I don't care I am only looking at Edward. And he has the biggest grin on his face and I imagine the one on my face is just as big.
"I do." I say and surprisingly my voice doesn't break you cant hear the tears I am fighting. Edward slides a set of rings over my ring finger and I almost choke. The engagement ring matches the colors of my dress a three stone ring a diamond in the middle flanked by 2 sapphires and wedding band is alternating diamonds and sapphires. He knows me so well to know that I love sapphires.
"And do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold in sickness and in health from this day forward so long as you both shall live?" Elvis is asking Edward and I life my eyebrow in question at him he chuckles.
"I do." Edward says and his voice is so sure that chill bumps break out all over my body. Edward rubs his thumb across the back of my hand. I slide the platinum band on his finger and I don't think one piece of jewelry has ever made me more happy. I have never been a jealous or territorial woman but knowing that this is my man and mine only forever makes me a little territorial.
"So be it, by the power vested in me by the state of Nevada I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss your bride." Elvis says and steps back in the knick of time because Edward grabs me and kisses the breath out of me. We take photos and FaceTime Rose.
"Hey brother what are you up to?" Rose asks as she sits down on the screen.
"Hey Bella y'all look mighty dressed up." Rose says before we can return the sentiment.
"So Bella and I did a thing." Edward says and he sounds nothing but ecstatic. We lift our left hands to the camera at the same time and the scream that comes from the phone everyone around us cringe.
"Are you fucking kidding me you ran off and got married? Holy shit you guys!" Rose should be upset but she sounds excited.
"You're not mad?" I ask tentatively because to be real she is a firecracker.
"My brother is madly in love with an amazing woman who is my best friend. Why would I be mad? Plus you saved me having to stress trying to get into a damn form fitting dress." She tells me and laughs.
"Thank you Rose I love you we are going to let you go we have plans for the night." He winks at his sister and she makes a gagging noise and then kisses and hangs up. I call Leah next.
"Hey bitch how is California?" Leah answers.
"It was beautiful you will have to come with me sometime. Vegas is also pretty awesome." I say knowing once it sinks in she will get it.
"Holy shit he finally asked huh?" Leah says. Well that is not the answer was expecting and when I turn to Edward he looks at me sheepishly and I narrow my eyes at him.
"Y'all waisted no time in the getting married thing huh I knew it wouldn't be long. Girl you should see the way he looks at you. Edward we already talked you take care of my girl."
"I will Leah." He says.
"Love you Lele I will call you when I am home." I tell her.
"Bye babe." She says and clicks off FaceTime.
We take a selfie with our rings and leave the chapel with our pictures.
