The Wedding

Edward was watching Bella all night while she slept, thinking about what he had done the previous night.

What was going to happen to everyone? How where they going to get out of this one?

He pondered on the thought until he saw Bella stir awake.

He leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. "Good morning." He said happily.

"Yes, it is." She replied.

"Bella, I need you to stay here for a few days." Edward said seriously.

Bella had no problem with that, it's the tone he use that concerned her. "Why, what is going on?"

"Bella, you do know what happened last night with the Volutri right?."Bella just nodded her head sadly. "Well killing there little pawns might get us into a stickey situation,but luckly Raven and Armand were nothing special to Volurti, so we just have to figure out what was going on." Edward finished.

"So does that mean that you and Emmett might be killed?" Bella was starting to get scared.

" No, don't worry about that, I am here for you forever. We just want to know what is going on, what the Volurti are thinking, all that good stuff." Edward smiled.

A week went by and trips were made to Bella's house to ensure that Charlie was alright and let him know that her and Alice were so busy with wedding things.

Alice, Bella and Edward were in the study doing some last minute wedding things. The wedding was tomorrow, and they had everything planned, she didn't know what still needed to be planned. Next thing they heard was Carlisle telling everyone to get down stairs. The three looked from one to the other, it sounded urgent. So they all rushed down the stairs. Everyone was gathered on the couch ready to listen to whatever he had to say.

"Okay listen up, I just spoke with Billy, the werewolve's leader, and we talked about Bella. I told him that we were leaving for a while and we had to take you with us, to hide you from the Volutri. I told him the only reason why we would come back is if the they were satisfied with what they see, and that is either to see Bella dead or a vampire. So luckily enough, Bill does know the seriousness of the Volurti, and he has grown fond of Bella." Carlisle stopped.

It seemed as if everyone in the room were holding there breath and the sad thing is, it only affected Bella.

"So what did he say?" Edward asked impatiently.

"He will talk to the rest of the tribe about putting the treaty on hold." Carlisle smiled.

"Your kidding." Bella said very excited. She got up and went to go hug the man she would soon call father. "Thank you." Everyone in the room was so relieved.

"But remember, the whole tribe must vote on it."

"Yeah, but you guys have no idea, Billy has so much influence on them." Bella reassured everyone.

"So what did say about Jacob?" Esme asked cautiously.

"I didn't dare bring it up, the whole tribe is mourning right now, and they know that they can't do anything about, the Volutri is to powerful.So Bella it would be nice if you could go over there and pay your respects with Charlie." Carlisle said.

Bella agreed but did not want to hear any more.

"Well, I think I will be off to bed." Bella said sadly.

"You probably should, tomorrow is a big day. Tomorrow you will become a Cullen." Carlisle said happily.

Bella smiled weakly, said good night to everyone and went upstairs, changed in to her pj's and crawled into bed.

She slipped into a deep sleep and dreamed of the wedding. The next morning she woke up and found a note on the bed side table with a single red rose.

I will love you as long as this rose is alive and I will take care of you and cherish you as long as I am alive.

Bella was confused, as long as this rose was alive, she picked it up and touched the pedals, it was silk formed to look like a rose. Bella smiled this rose would last as long as she took care of the fabric. At that moment she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Alice came through the door with an armfull of make up, curling irons, clothes and breakfast. Bella shot out of bed to help her.

"Okay so here is our list: Breakfast, shower, make up, hair, then dress." Alice said listing it all on her fingers.

"All right."

So Bella did just that, she ate everything that was on her plate, then showered, and from there Alice took over. When they were finished they went downstairs, there was no one to be found, they all must be there by now. It was beautiful day out, they had decided to do the wedding in the park, of course there would be a huge tent which the ceremony would be held in for the Cullen's sake. When Alice and Bella got to the park, Bella gasped.

The park was beautiful, covered in roses of every color, then the tent was just as big as Bella's house. There were stones leading to the entrance of the tent with flowers on each side. When you got inside the tent there were about one hundred chairs with a name on each one, and that very person filling the chair. Everything was white and everything was perfect. Bella was just about to walk into the tent when Alice grabbed her hand.

"Okay, Bella, this is it. So I want to be the first to tell you, I love you and I am so glad that you are finally going to be my sister."

Bella wanted to cry so much, she was so happy everything was real and it was really happening. But she knew if she cried then Alice would kill her. Alice gave her a last hug and walked to her seat and nodded to Edward. Bella heard the song that had been with her so many nights. It was her lullaby, Bella walked through the tent and saw Edward not at the front but on the piano playing the song he had written for her. Next she sees her father Charlie, wrapping his arm around hers.

"You look so beautiful." He whispered.

"You look so handsome." She whispered back.

They came all the way down the isle, and the lullaby stopped, she was being passed off, from her father to her fiancé.

"Thank you, dad, I love you ." Bella said.

Charlie kissed her forehead and took his seat.

Edward looked at his bride and wow, she looked so beautiful. White ankle length dress with white lace heels. The dress came straight down and had a design of rhinestones at the top of her dress. Her hair was curled, half was put up and the other half was lying across her bare shoulders.

Edward was brought back to earth when the minister asked for the rings. Edward took them from the little girl. He gave Bella his ring and kept hers.

"Do you Edward Cullen take me Isabella Swan, to be your wife, to love and cherish for as long as you may live." Edward smiled, he loved the idea of them asking each other, rather then the priest asking.

"I do." Edward smiled and Bella smiled back as she slipped the ring onto his finger. "Do you Isabella Swan take me, Edward Cullen, to be your husband, to have and to hold for as long as you shall live."

"I do." So Edward slipped the ring onto her finger.

"Now you may kiss the bride." The minister said.

Edward took her in his arms and kissed her so deeply she almost forgot there was anyone else in the room, she had never felt such love, such passion in a single kiss. So this is how it felt to be married.
