I sat on the padded bench seat of Em's big picture window with my laptop, trying to work on my story and not think about what was going to happen to me now. It's not that I wasn't thrilled for my brother and Rose, I was, but at the same time I wondered what was going to happen to me. If Mrs. Hale made good on her threat Rose would be homeless and broke. Would they want me living here if Rose moved in? Would I be in their way? I sighed deeply when Edward came up behind me and began rubbing my shoulders.

"Have you tried to call them?" he asked softly.

I sighed and closed my computer before responding, "I don't want to disturb them. They deserve some time alone. I am extremely curious to know what I witnessed when I walked in on them yesterday."

Edward chuckled, "Remind me of what you saw."

I sighed, explaining for the hundredth time, "He was down on one knee, but I could only see his back. Rose's face was shocked."

Edward thought carefully, "Well, there's only one reason I know of that a man gets down on one knee…"

I heard a car door slam outside. I opened the curtains and saw Em and Rose getting out of a cab. I ran to the front door with Edward on my heels. Swinging the front door open, I ran down the steps and into the driveway.

I flung myself into Rose's arms as I started my tirade of questions, "Are you alright? Is everything alright? I was so worried and no one called me and I didn't know where you guys were!"

I was ranting, I knew it, but I was so relived to see she was well and happy along with my stupid big brother. She put her arm around me while she walked me into the house.

"Bella, we have a lot to talk about. I'm more then fine. I'm great," Rose replied, trying to soothe me.

I must have looked panicked. Edward went to help Em with all the bags. Rose and I went in and sat on the couch.

"OK, so start talking, I want to know everything!" I gave her a huge grin.

Em and Edward left the bags in the entryway. Joining us in the living room. Emmett kissed my temple then sat down on the edge of the coffee table. Edward moved into position sitting behind me.

"Bells, everything is gone. My mother's lawyer's cut me off. I have money of my own that they can't touch, but my apartment, and everything else except my bank account was in my family's name. I'm not broke but I am homeless," Rose explained.

"You said everything was great! How is it great if you're homeless? Why are you smiling?" I was ranting. I hated not understanding.

"She's great because we are getting married...next Saturday. I know that's fast, but it's what we want. Bells, I know that Rose is your best friend and I didn't ask for your blessing the way Edward asked for mine. I love her. I want to give my forever to her. Is it OK?" Emmett asked in a low tone.

I looked at Edward and he smiled, I looked back at Emmett. "Hurt her and you'll walk with a limp for the rest of your days," I said turning his own words back on him with a wide smile.

"You have my word," Em stuck out his hand and I shook it.

"So, Rose is going to live here? I should start looking for a place," I said.

Em's eyes went wide, Rose's mouth gaped. "No, no! That's not what we want! We want you to keep living here with us, Jasper, too! Oh Bells, you don't have to go!" Rose said gesturing her hands out in front of her.

Em stood up, came over and kneeled in front of me, "Bella, I know this wasn't exactly in the plan but there's no reason for you to leave. I still want you here where I can protect and take care of you."

I rolled my eyes, "Em, I'm all grown up. I love that you want to take care of me, but you don't have to. You and Rose will want to do married people stuff. You should have that. I don't want to ruin it."

Rose chuckled, "What married people stuff, doors do close you know."

I blushed furiously as I stammered out my reasoning, fully aware that Edward was right behind me, "You know, like having sex without people in the next bedroom or across the hall. Isn't there like a honeymoon time or something where you're supposed to want to do it in every room?"

I was blood red head to toe. Everyone around me stifled a laugh, Edward rubbed my shoulders.

"Um, well, I had not thought of that, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. In the mean time, just think about staying here with us and one other thing..." Em said as he stood up, placing his hands on his hips.

"What else do I need to think about?" I asked him.

"Well, I was sort of wondering if maybe you'd be my best man....best girl.....oh hell, that's not right either...." he rubbed the back of his neck.

"What Em wants to know is if you will be his witness at our wedding. It's going to be very small. I am going to ask Alice to be my maid of honor. Since it was the two of you that helped us get together we wanted it to be the two of you that witnessed for us and signed our marriage license. Will you do it?" Rose asked hopefully.

I stood and wrapped my arms around my brother's giant body as I excitedly answered, "Of course I will! We have to get to work! There's so much to do!"

Em rubbed my back as I prattled on and interrupted to say, "We are getting married in the back yard. It's not that big of a deal. We want everything to be simple."

Rose nodded in agreement with what Em said.

"But some sort of celebration is in order. It's not everyday you get married. We should at least have a cake and grill out," Edward suggested.

The happy couple looked at each other.

"That sounds perfect," Rose said eagerly.

"Em, I think I should throw you a bachelor party Thursday night. I'll call in a sub bartender and we can go out, Edward and Jasper, too," I added.

Emmett howled with laughter, "Bells, I don't one, honest. It's fine."

Emmett ruffled my hair, clearly finding my offer cute but not serious.

"I'm serious. I wont ever get to be a best man again and I want to do it right. You are having a damn party," I crossed my arms over my chest.

Em rolled his eyes as he walked over and got Rose's suit cases to take upstairs.

"Bells, have you ever been to a bachelor party?" he asked.

I snorted, "No, but it can't be that hard to plan. Take groom to a bar, get him drunk....oh my gosh, am I going to have to hire a stripper?"

Just the thought of it made my whole body blush causing Edward to laugh.

From upstairs Em shouted, "What, no stripper? Aw man, that sucks rocks."

The next thing I heard was him getting slapped on the back of the head.

"No honey, I think taking him out to dinner then getting him drunk will be fine, but no strippers," Rose called down the stairway.

I lay down next to Edward and snuggled close.

"Why the hell is she doing this again?" Jasper asked me as we pulled into the steak house parking lot with my father in the back seat.

"Well, she said it's her only chance to be best man and she wants to do it right. You guys use to do this a lot from what I understand," I answered.

Jasper nodded, "Yep, we use to take Bella along on guys night all the time after Charlie passed away and before Jake. Truth be told, I think she liked being one of the boys before you came along."

I rolled my eyes. Bella wasn't one of the boys to me, she never could be. From the moment we saw each other in Hot Shots she was all woman to me. It had been days since we spent a night together. She was trying so hard to do everything she needed to do. Helping Rose with the wedding, writing her book, I didn't feel right adding another burden to her back but I missed waking up with her, I missed watching her sleep. I wanted to ask her to move in with me but the moment just never seemed right.

We all piled out of the car and went in the restaurant. Bella thought to make reservations ahead of time so we didn't have to wait. Emmett and Bella showed up a few minutes after we were seated. Em was wearing a black shirt that said 'Groom' on it in big white letters. My angel was wearing a black shirt that said 'Best Man'. Bella was beaming with pride that she'd been able to do this for her brother. She placed an order at the bar and came back over to the table. The waiter brought over 2 buckets of beer and took our orders. I put my arm around her, kissing her temple.

She held up her beer, "A toast to my brother's last night of freedom. Let's make it a good one."

Everyone clinked their bottles together while playfully teasing Emmett about his newly found 'ball and chain'.

"No man could be happier then me about getting married. I will not miss my freedom at all!" he proudly proclaimed.

We all chuckled as they brought our steaks out.

After dinner, dad went back to the hotel and the rest of us went to Hot Shots to have a few drinks. Bella was so cute behind the bar pouring shots and making drinks. It was clear she had spent a lot of nights helping out. Tyler was helping out with the actual patrons, she was just serving us.

'Cowboy' by kid rock came on the jukebox. Emmett was on his sixth shot of tequila and got a stupid grin on his face.

Bella put her hand out in front of her, "No Em! Bad Em!"

Em came around the bar and tossed her over his shoulder, she was reaching for me but I was laughing too hard to help her.

"This hasn't happened in a while but it's always good for a laugh," Jasper said to me.

"What's he doing?" I asked him while Em sat his sister's feet on the dance floor.

She sighed heavily, her arms limp at her sides. Her tiny lips were fighting a smile while Em appeared to swing an invisible lasso above his head. He tossed the invisible rope but Bella stepped aside laughing. He shook his ass and clapped his hands above his head before he whipped out the invisible rope again. He caught her this time, and mimed dragging her to him. They both broke into uncontrollable fits of laughter as the song ended and they came back over to the bar.

"That is so embarrassing. I can't believe you 'roped' me in front of a bar full of people," Bella said. Bella's cheeks burned as she poured another shot and got another beer chaser for the 3 of us.

By the time the bar closed, Bells had successfully gotten Emmett and Jasper very drunk. I refrained from getting as blasted as they were because I wanted to convince her to go home with me. Stepping behind the bar I helped her clean up.

"Was it a good party?" she asked me softly as Em and Jasper attempted to play pool.

"It was a very good party. I think he had fun although tomorrow he might feel differently," I answered as I held up an empty bottle of tequila.

The bell above the door jingled as Alice came in to collect the drunken messes.

Bella looked up at me, "You called Alice ?"

I grinned, "Yes, I did. She is going to take them home and you, young lady, are coming home with me. "

She cocked her head to one side, "I think that sounds like an excellent plan."

I kissed her softly then finished helping her clean up.

"Emmett Swan, it's time to go home and sleep it off," Alice announced as she sat down on the bar stool in front of us.

"Come on, Alice . One more game?" Emmett begged while attempting to hit the cue ball.

Alice sighed, "Em, you can barely stand. Let's go to the diner, I'm starving."

At the mention of food, my friends tossed their sticks on the table and stumbled over to the bar. Bella said we'd help Alice get them in the car. I opened the rear passenger door of Alice 's car, pouring Em inside.

He grabbed on to Bella's hand, "You are the best, best man ever. I love you, Bells."

She buckled him in while his head lulled on the seat, "Love you, too. We will see in the morning if I am still the best best man ever."

Jasper chimed in from the front seat, "You will be. Hell, I think I want you to be my best man. This was a great night. Alice , can we have pancakes? I want pancakes!"

He rambled on as Alice started the car. We closed the door and watched them drive away. Bella leaned into my side.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"It's nothing really, but I just don't know what to do. They are really intent on my staying there with them but I don't know. I don't think Jasper is going to, I think he's going to move in with Alice ."

We went back in the bar while she collected her things and locked the door.

I let her drive home since she'd had nothing to drink.

"Would it make you feel better if Jasper did stay there?" I asked her.

She thought carefully, "I suppose. It would be nice not to be a third wheel. I meant what I said about them doing married people things. If I am living there how will they ever find the inspiration to make me an aunt?"

I smiled at her as she turned into the parking garage of my building.

"From what I hear they don't really need to be 'inspired' to do that. It, um, pretty much just happens with them, anytime, anywhere," I said.

Em had taken a lot of joy in the past few days regaling Jasper and I with stories of how they'd already been trying all over the house. Jasper had taken to staying at Alice 's and Bella had gotten good at listening before she entered many rooms of the house they shared.

I helped her out of the car, noticing her worried wrinkled brow. Smoothing the tiny creases between her eyes with the tip of my finger made her sigh. She leaned in and laid her head on my chest. I played gently with the ends of her hair, humming to her softly, her arms tightened around me. I wanted to ask her right then and there to move in with me. It didn't seem proper to do it in a parking garage at three am. With my arms still around her, I walked us to the elevator.

When the doors closed, she leaned up and kissed me passionately. My fingers tangled in her hair, her tiny hands found their way under the back of my t shirt. My hips rocked gently into her, pinning her to the elevator wall. Trailing kisses down her jaw and neck, I waited for the elevator to hit my floor.

The doors opened, and I pulled her behind me as we ran to my apartment door. She kissed my back, then wrapped her arms around me and caressed my chest. I fumbled with the keys panting heavily while her tiny palms ran down to my waist and opened the button of my jeans. She giggled as we walked into the apartment with her arm still around me from behind.

She unzipped my jeans, as I turned in her arms and backed her against the closed door. My mouth slammed into hers while I got my shoes off. She stripped her shirt off, tossing it behind me. My lips moved down to her chin. From there, I kissed my way down her body. I stopped when I got between her breasts and undid her bra. I moved it aside as I leaned over, claiming a perfectly shaped nipple in my mouth. I smiled when I heard her gasp. I released her reddened nipple and continued my way downward until I was on my knees in front of her.

Tiny nimble fingers ran down my back pulling my shirt over my head while I kissed and nibbled her navel. Her jeans came open, and my hands slid them down to the floor. She stepped out of them, coming down on her knees in front of me. I lay back on the floor, as she got my jeans off. Bella hovered over me, kissing my collarbone and chest. The beauty on top of me sat up, hooked her fingers in my boxers, and pulled them slowly off my body. Sitting up, I wrapped one arm around her. With my other hand, I scooted her panties down her beautiful legs.

I traced the outline of her lips with my tongue while she moved herself down on my hardness. She pushed me back, rolling her hips down. I had never seen this side of Bella before. Her eyes closed, she was totally giving herself over to the animal inside her. My hands moved to her ass holding on tight. She ran her hands roughly over my chest, and her chest heaved more the more breathless she became. Her head lulled back while she rocked her self hard against me. I groaned, fighting off my own orgasm. Bella's hands moved up to my shoulders, pulling herself up and down, our bodies slick with sweat. Her tiny body arched in one swift movement.

She called out as she came on top of me, "Edward! Oh shit, Edward!"

I watched her in amazement. My hips bucked hard into her trying to draw out her pleasure as long as I could. I sat up a little, wrapping my arms around her. My lips ran down her chest until I could claim a hard nipple between my lips. She moaned, still shuddering in my arms. I looked up to see her lidded eyes watching my every move.

"Come on love. Come apart for me," she commanded me in a husky voice.

Hearing Bella talk to me like that sent me over the edge. She rocked on top of me until I exploded inside her. With my arms tightly around her I rolled us over.

She smiled up at me, "That was amazing."

I nodded my head in agreement. We lay in the entry way, Bella's head on my chest, breathing deeply. Stroking her back with the tips of my fingers, I could feel the goose bumps on her skin. It felt like this moment was perfect and imperfect all at the same time, but I couldn't stop the words any longer.

"Bella, will you move in with me?"

She gasped and sat up, "Are you serious?" she asked, clearly shocked.

"Yes, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't. I miss you when you're gone. I love every moment we spend together. I want to share my life with you and I want to start by sharing my home with you," I answered directly from my heart.

She bit her lower lip as I continued, "I don't like the idea of you living in a one bedroom apartment all alone when you could be here with me. "

She looked deep in my eyes before she spoke, "Edward, are you sure? It hasn't even been a month."

Propping myself up on my elbow, I kissed her tenderly. My fingers caressed her cheeks, moving her hair behind her ear.

"In a life time of being unsure, the one thing in this world I am sure of is you. You are the one, Isabella Swan." I declared.

Her lips pulled back in a trembling smile, "What are your parents going to think of me living here? I don't want their opinion of me to change."

My fingers trailed gently down her spine and I smiled when I saw her shiver.

"Do you think they might feel better about it if we were engaged?" I asked her softly.

Her eyes went wide, but she smiled.

"I don't know that wasn't really what I was thinking. Is that in the future for us, getting married?" she said softly.

"I want it to be in the very near future, love. Would you feel better about moving in with me if we were engaged?" I asked as I laid back down, pulling her with me.

She snuggled her ear over my heart, tracing small circles on my stomach. She didn't answer the question but she didn't have to. I knew her well enough to know it would make it easier for her. Moving in together was a big commitment but a much smaller one then agreeing to be together forever.

She kissed under my chin then said, "I'll start bringing my stuff over tomorrow."

I moved myself quickly on top of her. She was glowing.

"Is that a yes to moving in?" I asked excitedly.

She rolled her eyes, "Yes, I'll move in with you."

I stood and scooped her into my arms, running off to our bedroom to celebrate.
