"Yes. Yes I will marry you my handsome Edward, you and Tyler you are my life" He placed the white gold diamond ring onto my wedding finger, and spun me around in his arms.

"You can't give me back now" I whispered.

"I never wanted to do, I love you Isabella Cullen" I grinned the biggest grin that I could.

"I love you Edward Cullen, forever" we curled into bed not letting go. My life was perfect, complete.

Bella had said, yes to marrying be even at the short noticed, she'd said yes to becoming my beautiful wife I really loved her and the fact that she even stayed around when I never told her were I was or when I never bothered to called or leave her a note, she's even agreed to come to the funeral to two people she never knew. God my parents would have loved her, she's perfect in very way even if she doesn't believe me when I tell her, she will one day. We laid in bed together, it was the day of my mothers and fathers funeral, god it was gunna be hard and I'm gunna cry like a bitch in front of everyone, that's what people did though and I wasn't afraid to do it for Alice or my parents or even Bella. I laid there with Bella laying in my arms sleeping like a baby she was so beautiful when she was sleeping not that she wasn't when she wasn't sleeping but she looked peaceful and happy, she was my stunning fiancé and we had a lovely little boy, I really wanted to extend our family but in a couple of months the time would be right, it would just feel right too. I looked over at the alarm clock 5:09am and I was awake, on the verge of tears rolling back the tears that were flooding my eyes, it was uncontrollable tears, I wanted Bella to hug me and hold me and tell me everything would be okay, but I'm not about to wake her that wouldn't be fair.

At 6:00am I was still awake, the door handle twisted and I quickly closed my eyes, I didn't want Tyler to see I had been crying I hate having to try to explain to young ones about death and funerals. He walked in and climbed onto the Ottoman at the end of the bed he climbed into the middle of me and Bella and cuddled in to me. I felt his tiny hand underneath my eyes and he wiped away the trickle of tears that were trailing down my cheeks, I fluttered my eyes open so I wouldn't make him jump.

"Hey buddy" I whispered

"Edward are woo okay, are woo sad ?" He whispered back, I nodded a little.

"Edward's mommy and daddy died, and I have to … go say good-bye to them little fella" I saw Ty's face drop ever so slightly and his bottom lip quivered a little. I pulled him onto my lap and cuddled him tightly into my chest. I rocked him in my arms and he fell back to sleep, I didn't have the heart to put him back into his own room so I laid him next to Bella and I slid down the bed a little so I was under the covers. I fell back to sleep while cuddling into the comfy double duvet and Tyler's little frame next to me. At 8:00am the Alarm clock went off with some bullshit traffic news, yeah Like I needed to hear that crap today. I saw Bella lift her head, and she looked a little surprised to see Ty next to her in bed.

"Morning" She said with a sympathetic smile.

"Morning beautiful" Tyler snored incoherently.

We let Tyler sleep and we sat in the kitchen opposite each-other, I held her hands in mine and repeatedly kissed her knuckles over and over again, it was soothing and almost comforting me.

"I love you" She whispered and giggled.

"I love you too, and I really can't thank you enough for … you know.. c..coming with me today it means the worlds to me" She put her index finger over my lips.

"Shoosh, I'm here always here for you. Always Edward Cullen" she said quietly. Tyler walked into the room looking awake considering he woke up around 6. He put his hands in the air to gesture that he wanted to sit down. I lifted him up onto the chair in between me and Bella, he sat there with his elbows on the table looking from me to Bella and vice versa.

"Ty we have to go somewhere important today so I'm afraid I have to get a babysitter in" He looked generally happy, maybe my errm outburst earlier didn't help this situation but I couldn't explain any deeper that me and Bella were off to a funeral.

"Will shwe plway hide and go sweek with me" He shouted while eating his toast. I had a strong black coffee and Bella had a hot chocolate she always had one when it was cold, she wasnt much of a tea person and only had coffee if she was offered it.

"I'm gunna have a shower, I won't be too long" I said, I needed to clear my head.

"Okay babe, I'll have one after, the babysitter will be here soon" She winked at me and blew me a kiss.

"Bwye Edward I love you!" Tyler exclaimed.

"I love you too little man"

While I was in the shower I tried not to think of the obvious but how could I not. I washed my hair and body then jumped out before I could think about my next move, I wrapped a towel around my waist and sat on the floor by the edge of the bath. You can do this Cullen, your fiancé is out there she'll be there for you, you have a sister and you have your parents with you always, just not here in person. I used all of my will power to push myself up off the floor to brush my teeth, I walked to the bedroom and there my suit was laid out on the bed, crisp clean shirt, ironed tie and a black jacket. I dressed and then sat on the bed, I wasn't deep in thought when Bella knocked and walked in, she sat down next too me and leaned into me, I put my arms around her and cuddled her.

"We'll be fine" I whispered softly a little upset into her ear.

"I know, but I hate to see you cry, that's not to say you shouldn't I just wish I could make the tears go away, this shouldn't of happened to them," I took her hand and pulled her closely to me once we were standing up, we just stood in the middle of the room hugging and swaying a little. I sat on the bed as Bella got changed. She had her black skinny trousers on a deep dark purple tee on, she looked stunning even if it was a funeral.

She was applying her make-up when the doorbell rang. It was Emmett and Rose I buzzed them up and opened the latch.

"It's Rose and Emmett" I shouted softly to Bella.

"Okay Babe, I'm done" She walked out of the room grabbed her clutch bag and came to stand with me and held on to my hand tightly.

"Hey man, I'm really sorry" Emmett said and hugged Edward.

"Me too Edward, I really am sorry" Rose Hummed and kissed him on the cheek along with a hug.

"We ready?" Edward said changing conversation.

"Yeah lets.. let.s go" Bella said, we walked out of the door.

Once we arrived at the cemetery , Bella clutched my hand even tighter, I Saw sight of Jasper and Alice, and I saw her black headband pop up and down several times before she got to us. Alice ran into me and hugged me letting out an awkward breath like she was holding in her breath or tears at the same time. We all walked into the church I clutched Bella's hand once again and Jasper had his arm around Alice, he was a good man. We made our way to the front of the aisle and sat down on the four seats at the front.

"Should... should I sit here I mean I … I Wasn't part of your family" Bella stuttered god she was stunning.

"Come here" I echoed , I pulled her hand down with mine and she sat down next to me. Alice sat next to me and Jasper Sat with her clutching her hand tightly. I could see the shine from the sweat building up on her palms.

The coffins had already been brought in and were laid side by side on the wooden stands up at the front. I had a sick feeling in my stomach and tried to force it away. The priest started off the ceremony, I had done something that would make me feel worse, but better in the long run I decided to say a little something just because I wanted to, I wanted to let my parents know that .. well my words would say it Hopefully. It came to that point very quickly.

"Edward Cullen the Son of Mr and Mrs Cullen will now say a few words" He coughed and I stood up decently, Bella clutched my hand a squeezed it a little then let go. I walked over to the podium and stood there palms sweating my mouth was dry and I was finding it increasingly hard to keep the sob from my voice.

"I just felt it right to say a little something to let them know How important they were to me and I know Alice feels the same way. My mom and Dad, they were the best always showed up at school plays, every award ceremony they made, they didn't deserve what happened and I've found it increasingly hard to accept what has happened, I just need to let them know In words or show them that I will be there for Alice, I'll look after us both and... I really shit... I really can't do this I really love you mom and dad, I really love you" I let the piece of paper drop to the floor and ran down the aisle out into the pouring down grey night. I almost instantly fell to my knees not caring where I was, I'd told them that I loved them, A few minutes later The church door opened and Bella appeared with a tissue, she ran to me and crouched down on the floor with me, gently lifting me up.

"Come here" She said softly and I stood up my legs feeling like jelly, she pulled me to her and we stood there in the pouring down rain, the thunder and lightening the memories and thoughts flooding back tome which caused me to cry even harder, it was painful really painful. After a while the guests started pouring through the doors, they stood in there own crowds the occasional family member or friend wondering up to me and hugging me and saying sorry for the loss. Alice was just in the biggest state every maybe a bit worse than at the hospital. It was painful to feel and even worse to watch. After half an hour people started leaving, Esme and Carlisle Mine and Alice's aunt and uncle were left with me Bella, Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett.

"I think it's time you had a drink" Carlisle suggested, we all nodded and hailed a taxi. I really hadn't let go of Bella's hand throughout the ceremony apart from the note reading she was my antidote, she soothed me and made me feel a lot better like there was something to live for. When we arrived at the bar we sat in a crowded corner drinking beer and wine, snacking on peanuts and happily chatting. Emmett offered me a fag along with Jasper.

"Babe I'll be outside" I kissed Bella and headed out with Em and Jas. We stood under a shelter smoking, and remincising almost. Just as I stumped my fag out a yellow taxi pulled up right next to us. The door opened, but I still couldn't see who it was until he stood up properly and the cab drew away.

It was the little shit Jacob, what the fuck was he doing here, this was not going ahead.

"You better hail that taxi and get the fuck back in it before I fucking kill you!" I spit at him.

"Who is he man" Emmett hissed.

"Bella's ex, doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself, please just get him away before I fucking smash his face in!" I hissed and shouted even louder, Emmett and Jasper walked over to Jacob who was at the bottom of the steps.
