I walked up the wide porch steps of the Cullen house, trying not to trip. Edward sighed behind me as I stomped to the door. "Bella?" Came a voice from inside the house. I pulled the door open and almost walked right into Carlisle.

"Hi Carlisle." I said tiredly.

"This is an interesting suprise." He looked from me to Edward. I turned in time to see Edward shaking his head at a question Carlisle had asked silently.

"Well, I thought, if you don't mind, I'd chill out here for a little while. I need a little time before going back... to Charlie's house." I'd been about to say, "Going back home," but I realized that here with the Cullens would be home soon enough. "Did you say this was a suprise? Where's Alice?" I looked around expectantly.

"Alice and the others went on a quick hunting expidition. They should be back soon." Carlisle glanced at Edward again before looking back at me. "What brings the two of you here this evening?"

"My parent's are completely ridiculous." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Renee and Charlie thought it would be in Bella's best interest to make sure that she knew this was what she wanted. They just did it in a way that was not as...thoughtful...as she would have liked."

Carlisle nodded his head in comprehension. "You know Bella, they just want what's best for you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do." He turned away and walked back behind the staircase through a door I'd never noticed.

I looked at Edward. "What's that door?"

"It takes you to the basement." (A/N On the twilight lexicon Stephenie Meyer mentions the basement, so I thought I'd add it in.)

"Oh." I tore my gaze off of the nondescript white door and Edward took my hand and led me to the staircase. As he pulled me along, I kept thinking about what Charlie and Renee had told me. I couldn't figure out why they'd think I was unhappy or that I wasn't making the right decision. Edward was perfect for me. We were perfect for each other. He was the only person I could or would, be with. Surely it wasn't that difficult to understand...was it? I shook my head to clear the intruding thoughts. I realized we were standing in front of Edward's door. He was looking at me with a concerned expression. I smiled a huge, cheesy smile up at him to get him to get rid of the concerned look. It did the trick because he was soon laughing at the ridiculous grin.

"You are adorable. Did you know that?"

I sighed like I was dissapointed. "I was going for smoldering temptress. Darn it." That just made him laugh more. He swiftly wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up to carry me over the threshold. "I think you're a tad early darling." I giggled as he set me down on the bed.

"Well, you know how important punctuality is." He teased as he flopped down next to me.

"Of course, of course, there are large disadvantages of being late." I said seriously.

"Such as?"

"Well, you know. You could miss something important. Someone might say something funny and people will forever be talking about an inside joke that you 'just had to be there for'."

"Of course. That would be completely unbearable." He joked. We settled into the bed and I rested my head against his marble chest. He began to hum my lullaby and I struggled to stay awake. I finally gave up and drifted off.

I was standing at the end of the aisle in the church and began walking toward Edward. I suddenly realized that Charlie was not by my side. I stopped walking and looked around. He was nowhere to be found. As I was looking for Charlie I realized that Renee was also absent. People were beginning to notice that I'd stopped, so I focused on Edward and what was about to happen and began walking again. Just as I got to the altar and the priest asked if there were any objections, the double doors at the back banged open and Charlie and Renee ran through. "We object!" They kept yelling. I tried to get them to stop and tell me what was going on but they just kept telling me I couldn't marry Edward. Charlie then whipped a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs out of his pocket and put them on Edward before leading him out. I tried to ask what was going on, but Renee just kept telling me that there was no way in Hell I was marrying Edward. And if I did it would be over her dead body.

I woke up from the horrible dream, thankful that it was, after all, just a dream, to see that outside it wasn't raining, but there was absolutely no sunshine. I was thankful for this. As it hit me that today was my wedding day, Alice burst into the room ordering Edward, who'd been watching me from the bed, to get out. "Are you ready to get married?" She asked, waving a curling iron in front of my face.

Hey guys, sorry this took me awhile.

The wedding is next! yay!

This chapter was kind of short,

but I'm counting on the next chapter being rather long.

I promise to write as fast as possible.

Constructive Criticism is always appreciated
