" Isabella Marie Swan, do you take Edward Anthony Cullen as your lawful wedded husband. To have, to hold, in sickness and in health. For richer or poorer as long as you both shall live. If so, say; I do."
" I do."
" And do you, Edward Anthony Cullen, take Isabella Maria Swan to be your lawful wedded wife? To have, to hold, in sickness and in health. For richer or poorer as long as you both shall live. If so, say; I do."
" I do."
" Now by the power invested in me I now pronounce you man, and wife. You may now kiss your bride."
Edward curled his arm around my waist and dipped me down. His soft ruby lips pressed against mine, sealing our promise of loyalty to eachother. I kissed him back with all of the love that I held for him, pouring my heart and soul into this one single kiss.
He had to end the kiss, much to my dismay, and righted me on the white death-traps. Edward gripped my hand in his and placed a kiss on my finger, where my wedding band now lay. We faced our friends and family's with smiles on our faces and took our first steps as husband and wife.
My mother immediatly stood, her eyes red from tears, and enveloped me in a tight embrace. Edward let go of my hand and embraced his own mother.
" I'm so happy for you, Bella."
" Thanks, mom."
Once I was released by my mother Alice and Rose jumped at me, tacking me with their bodies.
" I can't believe you are finally married. And to Edward! I remember when we all first met, and they stood us up and I went bat shit crazy!" Alice shrieked
I smiled " Basically. Next it's you and Jasper."
A smile lit up her already happy features. Rose bumped shoulders with me, " I'm next, too! Em and I still need to get through this pregnancy, maybe then we can finally get married." Rose exclaimed, patting her now growing belly.
I smiled at my friend " You guys are going to be amazing parents."
" Duh!"
----
Finally we were able to escape from the family and reached the reception hall. Edward was holding my hand tightly and all of a sudden he made a bee-line to the right and opened a door, shoving us in quickly and pushing me against the wall of the tiny room. There was a huge bay window and a big white couch against the cream walls.
" Shouldn't we save this for the honeymoon." I breathed and he backed me up in the direction of the plush couch. I fell ontop of it and my dress went limp against it. Edward jumped ontop of me and took my lips with his, kissing me passionately as his hands roamed my stomach.
" What's the fun in that, angel?" he asked.
I giggled and kissed his neck " Umm, I really don't know."
We spent the next ten minutes making-out on the couch, nobody came to find us but we could hear footsteps as people entered the area.
Suddenly I heard the door open and we looked up to see Emmett, a very amused look on his face. He was standing next to Jasper who looked like he wanted to laugh.
" Get the fuck out!" Edward yelled.
" Dude, getting your groove on in the beginning of the wedding reception? You guys are just insatiable, get off the couch!" Jasper scolded.
" Hey! This is our wedding." Edward stated.
I rested my hands on his chest and reached up to kiss his neck. He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine once again.
" Go away." Edward growled.
" Edward! You best get out here! People are wondering where you both are and unless you want me to call people over, you best let go of Bella and get out here." The familar voice of his mother scolded
" Must you people scold me?" Edward asked, standing out and holding his hand out to me.
He brought me forward and ran his fingers through my loose curly hair, fixing the mess. I smoothed my white dress down and followed Edward out. When we walked into the reception room everyone was staring straight at us.
" I present to you. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen." A loud voice announced as we walked hand-in-hand towards the dance floor. Soft music played in the backround and we stood to face eachother in the middle of the floor. His left arm curled around me and his right hand held my left. I put my right hand on his shoulder and he went forward as I stepped back.
Even though I am horrible at dancing Edwared twirled me around, bringing me close when I was about to trip. It was good that the dress went to the floor because nobody could see how my ankles were shaking and how unbalanced I was.
I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck when the song had ended. He bent backwards and my feet were off the ground.
" I love you."
" You, too." I replied as he set me on my feet.
Louder, upbeat music played and Edward and I went to our table. He pulled my chair out for me and sat next to me, holding my hand tightly in his as he stared into my eyes. I knew from that moment on that we would be together, forever. Nobody would ever stand in the way of our happiness.
-----
" Edward, time to get up." I whispered quietly into his ear.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to his side.
" Do I have to?" he asked
I sighed " You went through four years and then got your masters. I think it's time to get up and get ready for your first day of work."
" Do I sound like a girl if I say I feel nervous?"
My head shook and I laughed " No. But you will do fine. When you get nervous just make sure you don't stutter."
" Haha." he said unhumorously.
" I will be right here when you get back." I stated.
" Naked and in bed?"
I slapped his arm " I'm wearing clothes right now. And no, not in this place. We have so much to unpack in the house and I am taking today and tomorrow off."
He smirked and leaned forward to kiss my cheek. " Okay, then I guess I can get up."
I wrapped my arms around his neck " You'll be fine, promise."
" I think I need a little more reasurance." he mumbled.
He leaned forward and kissed my lips swiftly. " Love you,"
" I love you, too!" I said enthusiasticly as he stood
I laid in bed for a few more minutes while Edward was in the shower. Reluctently I got out of our warm bed and trudged downstairs to get some coffee. The pot was already steaming and filled and I poured two cups and prepared Edward's and mine.
He came down the stairs wearing a pair of black slacks, a blue with white stripped button up, tucked in and a pair of dress shoes.
" Oh, Professor Cullen looks fancy." I commented as he took a sip of his coffee.
" I do, do I Mrs. Cullen."
I cringed " Don't say that, I feel old."
He laughed and took a seat and the box filled table. I smiled at him and sipped my coffee as I sat on the couch. Edward patted his lap and I hopped off the counter and sat in his lap.
" Your not old. I'm old. Now what are you going to be doing. Work doesn't call for you most the time since you are the boss and I will be gone."
" Well, I am here to take care of the house and make babies."
He rolled his eyes " This is not the 1800's. Though a little Bella would complete this house."
I rested my head on his shoulder " One of these days, professor."
----
After Edward left I was bouncing around the house, music blaring from my iPod doc as I put things in new places and moved furniture around. It was good that Edward wasn't here to listen to me singing. I would even call it singing, more like screaming.
When out of breath I went to the almost empty fridge and grabbed a can of coke. I drowned half the can before going back into the living room. The clock inched closer and closer to six, which is when he is completely finished for the day. I was so excited to hear about his first day as a Piano teacher at Julliard. He had been held up for a year, trying his hardest to make sure he was ready for the job. It took them awhile to get back to him about the job but at the end of the summer he got a call and was in for the job.
He was so excited, but also nervous. Like me, he started to stutter and shake when he is nervous, which is kinda hard to hide but I knew he would do great.
We had gotten married July 6, 2008 and it was now August 17, 2009. My Birthday was coming soon and I was inching towards thirty. Of course Edward turned thirty last June. He said that we needed to start making babies before he gets too old.
The boxes in the living room, labeled as 'living room' were slowly starting to lower as I hung pictures on the wall and mixed our books together on the shelves, alphabetically of course. The television was already on the entertainment center, movies in the cabinets around it.
Ontop I set tall candle sticks and little glass bobbles we owned.
" Now, the party don't start til I walk in. Don't stop, make it pop Dj blow my speakers up. Tonight, I'm a fight til we see the sunlight. Tick tock, on the clock but the party don't stop. Whoa- oh oh oh. Whoa- oh oh oh." I sang as I cleaned the mantel.
I sang the chorus over and over, but there was a weird tapping noise behing me. I spun around and saw Edward trying to copy my moves.
" YOUR HOME!" I exclaimed, jumping into his arms. He stumbled for a moment but caught me.
" Sometimes you act like such a teenager. Nice dance moves by the way. If you want to keep shaking you ass then be my guest."
I rolled my eyes " Maybe later. How was work?"
" Good. Everything went quite well."
" Told you. Now I need you to help me with the chandelier. It's as dirty as hell and I need you to hold the ladder so I don't fall." I said, tapping the ladder.
" Of course, go right up princess."
When I was on the highest one Edward's hand wasn't hold me, but holding my ass. It was distracting as I cleaned the crystal with the cleaner. Once I finished Edward moved his hands to my waist and lifted me up, as if I were only a pound, and set me on the floor. I stumbled a moment before standing straight.
" Dinner? I brought chinese." he commented.
" Then what are we still doing here?"
Edward and I ate dinner on the rug in the family room. The new furniture still wrapped in plastic. We curled up against it and stared at his laptop that was playing an episode of Supernatural. Since we haven't gotten Directv out here there was no television.
Around eight Edward and I headed upstairs to bed.
------
I felt his hand on the small of my back as we stared down at the counter. We were both nervous as hell. This would determine a huge part of our life, this was a life changing situation, no going back.
We had only been settled in the house for four months, and I felt things were going a tad quickly for me. Edward had told me that we weren't ready, and I wasn't. We have been through alot but I needed maybe a few more months. I loved going to clubs and drinking. I couldn't do that if I was pregnant. Having a baby was a big responsibility. But whatever the tests say, I would love that baby.
Last week I hadn't gotten my period and I just thought it was from stress from moving to a house. I had spent my time either working, or unpacking. Only getting four hours of sleep. When Edward came home I sometimes passed out on the couch while we watched television in the family room.
Edward's breathing was uneven and I took his hand.
" Whatever they say, it will be great. Okay?"
I looked up at him, trying to swallow back the nervs. I felt like I wanted to throw up, I was nervous and shaky.
" Yeah."
After the five minute timer went off Edward shut it off and tossed it somewhere. I gripped his arm and stared up at him, a pleading look in my eyes and I spoke my next words carefully.
" You tell me." I pleaded.
With a deep breath he looked down at the three different brands of pregnancy tests. I heard a huge sigh.
" Negative, all of them." he breathed.
I felt a huge weight off my chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. He was hesitant but put his arms around me. I glanced up at him.
" What?" I asked, worried.
Edward shrugged "I don't know. I was kinda getting used to the idea."
" I'm sorry." I whispered quietly, dropping my arms from around him.
" No! Bella, it's fine. I can honestly say that I am not completely ready, and I don't think you are either."
He took me back into his arms and lifted me up into his arms. I curled my body around his and clawed at him when he lay me down on our bed. He pried my hands off him and put the fleece blanket around me.
New York in the winter is disastrous, example; When Edward and I had a sleepover on Christmas Eve. The snow and wind had put out the power, which was a good thing because it helped Edward and I slowly become closer. Only for us to officially get together on New Years.
" I'll be right back." he said before kissing my forehead and leaving.
I took deep breaths and assured myself things were okay. We weren't ready just yet, but we would eventually get there.
Edward came back with two glasses of wine, he handed me a glass and I sipped it slowly and he got into bed. I felt his arm around my shoulders, pulling me close.
" Don't worry. When the time is correct then we can try."
I nodded and finished off my drink quickly.
" Be careful there lightweight." he chuckled.
I reached for his glass and he handed it to me. With a long chug I handed it back, feeling my body relax a little. I didn't feel as tense. Good thing we kept wine in the house.
He flipped on the television and we curled up together in bed, stealing chaste kissess when commericals played and during the show. A tiny giggle escaped me on my fourth glass of wine and Edward stared down at me.
EPOV
I stared down at Bella seeing that she had stole, and drank my glass of wine. She drank most of my first and I went to get more for us. Now she was giggling and looking positively tipsy. I kissed the tip of her nose and felt her try to get up.
My arms wrapped around her, holding her closely as she squirmed.
" I wanna get up!" she exclaimed.
" Bella, don't be stubborn. Just go to sleep, alright."
I turned off the television and put the remote on the table. She put her hands under the covers and her hands started to wander, starting at my abdomen. I grabbed her hands in mine and she giggled, trying to break free.
" Bella," I warned " Please just try and sleep."
" You don't want me?" she said, tears filling up.
I shook my head " Sweetheart, your a little drunk."
She hiccuped and I chuckled quietly.
" Stop," hiccup " laughing, Jerkusmalerkus."
I laughed again at the name she gave me, wrapping my arms around her waist. Her hands went down my back and landed on my backside. I groaned and shook my head. She was most definately drunk and needed to get to sleep. I wasn't going to until she fell asleep.
She could molest me in my sleep, I thought.
After moving her hands to her side I kissed her cheek " Come on, I know your tired."
I felt myself slipping into unconsiousness but tried to stay awake. It'd been a long day so I was exhausted. Plus I hadn't gotten much sleep last night and needed to make up for it. Shouldn't of gotten Spiderbella drunk, might turn her back to Spiderbella.
Suddenly I felt myself behind shoved onto my back. Bella sat on my lap and I rested my hands on her hips, trying to keep her still.
" Angel, I am so tired. Please, just lay down for me." I said, half-asleep.
" Come on! Time to get up and dance." she exclaimed.
Bella stood up above me and started bouncing on the bed. I groaned, why in the hell do I allow wine in the house, especially when Bella is already off the wagon at three glasses. My body flopped around until I sat up and grabbed her waist. I dragged her down onto the bed and tackled her down onto her back.
A loud giggle excaped her " Heeeyyy,"
" Sleep." I said, slumping against her.
" HEAVY!" she all but screamed.
I jumped off her and laid on my back, dragging her next to me. She thrashed around and I finally just let her be and closed my eyes.
" Edward," she whispered in my ear.
" Hmm?"
" No sleeping!" Bella yelled loudly.
" Yes! Sleep, my angel."
She slumped against my back and pressed her chest against my back. I closed my eyes as she dragged her body over my back and landed next to me, she let out a small yelp as she fell right onto the floor with a thump.
" Are you okay?!" I exclaimed looking down.
Bella was curled in a ball, laughing uncontrolably. I chuckled and reached down to pick her up. She winced when she reached back and touched her ass.
" Ouch! Tender!" she said.
I reached my hand back and rubbed her ass for her. She was still laughing for about ten minutes until she calmed down, now looking very tired. She draped her arm across my body and rested her head in the crook of my neck, Bella was already passed out not a minute later.
I put my arm around her and finally succumed to sleep, holding my angel.

" Seriously! I can't believe it. I am so happy for them! Why didn't Alice call me" I said as I stirred the cranberries.
" No idea. Jasper called me this morning, panicked about the situation. I got him to calm down though." Edward explained.
I smiled " Well I hope he gets the little boy he wants. I bet Alice want's to go shopping, stat."
" Probably."
" BELLA! WHY IS THERE CONDOMS IN YOUR PURSE!" I heard my mother yell from upstairs.
Edward's gaze flashed to mine as I looked at him. Why in the hell was she going through my purse. It may be Thanksgiving but I was not going to be thanking her for that.
" STRAWBERRY FLAVORED?!"
I let go of the wooden spoon and ran upstairs to my old bedroom. My mother was fishing through my purse, taking out the condoms. I ran over to her and snatched back my purse, shoving the condoms back into it.
" Mom! Why are you going through my purse, and Edward's stuff!" I exclaimed.
She stopped and stood up, a curious look on her face.
" Strawberry flavored? Really, sweetie? And glow in the dark?" she asked.
" None of your buisness, mother. Why in the heck do you care anyways. I am not going to talk about my sex life!"
Renee pouted " Just small details."
" No!" I said sternly, shoving my purse into my bag.
I zipped Edward's shut after folding a few of his messed up clothes adn turned to her.
" He would not appreciate this!"
" Pish posh, Edward loves me."
" Not as much as me." I said in a sing-song voice.
She glared and sighed " If I was younger."
" Ew!"
I ran downstairs into the kitchen and saw Edward wearing my apron and stirring the cranberries. Renee was still upstairs so I took the oppurtunity to wrap my arms around him, placing a kiss on his lips. His hands rested on my hips and deepened the kiss. Tongues twisting together and hands grabbing at eachother. I tilted my head to the side and moved my hands to his cheeks, kissing him deeper.
His arms wrapped under my ass and lifted me up so I was level with his face. My eyes shut on their own accord as he kissed me sweetly.
After a moment I heard a throat clearing. Edward set me down abruptly and I ran a hand through my hair. My mother stood in the doorway, staring at our little display.
" And how long have you been there?"
" Only a few seconds." she said, faking innocence.
Edward turned red and looked away. I reached on my tip toes and kissed his cheek.
" Love you."
" You, too, Angel."
I smiled at the nickname and rested my head on his shoulder. Listening to the cranberries pop in the pot as he stirred them. The door slammed and my mother scampered off to meet Phil in the foyer.
My arm wrapped around Edward and I leaned against his side. He kissed the top of my head and reached for the glass container. After pouring the popped cranberries in, I washed the pot for him and he put the cranberries in the fridge.
Renee had yet to come back so Edward and I curled up on the couch. He plopped me down on his lap, wrapping his strong arms around my waist and placing little kisses on my neck.
" Oh, enough you two." Renee chided.
Edward stopped and tilted his head to rest on my shoulder. Just the little things he did just reminded me of how much he loved me.
I moved out of his lap and sat next to him, his arm shifting to wrap around me. Renee and Phil sat across from us, holding hands.
" So, how is the new job, Edward?" Renee asked swiftly.
" Good, everything has been going great."
I giggled " Why don't you tell her about your admirer." I suggested
" Admirer?"
Edward groaned loudly " It's this eighteen year old girl, Kate Goldwin. I swear she is so obvious when flirting. Reminds me of a slightly smarter, Tanya. Just ughh." Edward complained.
I smiled " Tell them what she did."
A loud sigh escaped him " It was just before break. Okay, so I walk in the classroom. Everyone is seated but they have assignments to hand in. They come in a line to my desk and hand me each one. Kate was last and she 'accidentally' drops her paper. She is wearing this neon pink skirt and a green top that is too tight, basically looking trashy and topping it off with five inch heels. So she bends over and is wearing no underwear. I had no fucking clue and saw cellulite on the back of her thighs. When she stood straight she smiled at me, I just laughed and grabbed the paper. She looked about to cry and I felt bad, I couldn't help it though. I am twelve years older and she is hitting on me, wearing no underwear and there is snow on the ground."
My mothers mouth dropped " You better not of looked on purpose." she said sternly.
Edward paled " Um...most definately not. Bella is it for me and some desperate girl would not lead me astray."
Renee smiled in satisfaction and Edward stared down at me lovingly. He leaned down and kissed the tip of my nose.
" And your not worried about this girl?" Phil asked.
My head turned abruptly at the question " I trust Edward. We learned from mistakes and I know that he will never leave me." I told him without missing a beat.
" I would never." Edward whispered in my ear.
A wide smile spread across my face and I looked at him once again. " I love you,"
" You, too, Angel. I love you so much, never forget."
" Never."
I heard a fake gag and looked at my mother. She could act like a five year old when she really wanted to. I was always the grown up. Making sure the fridge was filled and the bills were paid. I was never a teenager. I was born middle-aged. By eight I would make my own dinner and do alot of the chores.
My mother was off doing some random obsesssion of the week. Scrapbooking, pottery, jewelery making, quilting, gardening. There was a number of things and I could go on forever. She was scatter-brained and sometimes a little crazy, but I still loved her.
She was a little in people's buisness, like my sex life, and was just putting her nose where it didn't belong. When I was fourteen I remember her going through my drawers, looking for cigarette's or drugs. I was so pissed at her for a few days until she finally apologized for not trusting me.
I rolled my eyes and squeezed Edward's hand.
" Don't act like such a child." I commented.
She scoffed " I am your mother, you are the child."
Edward looked at me, amusement shining in his eyes. I stood up and looked at my mother.
" I had dinner to tend to. Edward?"
Edward immediatly stood and followed me.
" WHIPPED!" My mother yelled.
I ignored her. She reminded me so much of Emmett. Annoying and sometimes obnoxious. I should definately introduce them sometime. They would probably become best friends. I knew she never met him at the wedding because she was too busy eating orderves and trying to dance with Edward.
My mother had always had a thing for Edward and Jasper. I remember seeing pictures of them in her bedroom. She hid them in a desk beside her bed so Phil wouldn't notice them. I find it a little bit disturbing that my mother has a fan girl crush on my husband. He is a former football player but still never forgotten. Hell, pictures were taken of me when I was just walking to work.
When we first married Edward had said that it was kinda a package deal. I loved him so I could deal with the pictures. He dealt with me, and that is saying something considering I can be a bitch, and I admit it.
" I am not!" Edward exclaimed
" Yes you are." I said quietly.
" Okay, just a little."
I gave him a pointed look and he sighed.
"That's a lie. I follow you like a lost puppy sometimes and I do whatever you want." he stated
" It doesn't mean anything bad. I am whipped, too. I fucking feed you on weekends when I make you breakfast in bed. Normally it's the other way around."
He opened the oven and looked at the turkey.
" Well, you take care of me. I enjoy that. But I like taking care of you, too."
I put both arms around him and he kissed my forehead, inhaling my scent at the same time.
" You smell good."
A loud laugh escaped me " Okay, Edward."
He released me and rolled his eyes.
----
Later that night, after we shared our Thanksgiving dinner, and after I laughed while Phil made a prayer. We all went into the living room and watched a movie of my mother choice. It was no surprise that she forced us to watch Step Brothers.
Edward and I were bright red through the movie and at some point, he laid his head in my lap, his face facing my stomach. You would think that guys would enjoy this shit but Edward could be so shy sometimes. When we watched Knocked Up with the group, he left when the girl was giving birth.
"Um, mom. Maybe we should watch a more family comedy or something."
Her gaze snapped to me, then Edward.
" Isabella, tell me he is asleep."
I rolled my eyes. Her mind was just so pure...
I ran my hands through his hair and felt him growl against my stomach.
" No, he isn't. But this movie is just... Turn it off!" I exclaimed.
She scowled and Phil came back into the room, holding popcorn and Dr. Pepper for my mother. I sighed and Edward shifted on the couch for a moment before settling down. I grabbed the quilt from the back of the couch and draped it over him.
" Don't want to fall asleep." he mumbled.
" Just sleep," I murmured in his ear, placing a kiss beneath it.
I endured the movie and Edward started snoozing after I told him to sleep. He had wrapped his arms around my hips and his head was slightly propped up on my stomach. My hands raked through his thick hair during the movie, trying to keep my mind off of some of the parts that came on.
When it was finally over Renee stood " Are you going to your bedroom?"
I thought about it for a moment " I don't think so. It depends if he wakes up or not."
She nodded, turned off the television and headed upstairs with Phil.
Suddenly Edward sat up and I dropped my hands from his hair, surprised.
" Finally," he groaned " That was torture." he stated, leaning forward to catch my lips in a kiss.
His arms moved up to wrap around my waist and he lowered me to the couch, kissing me deeply. I slipped my right leg through both of his legs and put my hands on his shoulders as he trailed wet kisses up and down my neck.
" We could of just said we were tired and went upstairs." I breathed.
" Too obvious."
I pressed his lips to mine and kissed him deeply, but gently. His tongue massaged mine expertisely as his hands held my face to his.
" I'll always love you, not matter what." he whispered against my lips.
I held his face in my hands and couldn't keep my eyes away from him. For some reason, his words made tears spill down my face. Edward pulled away from me and wiped my tears away with his thumbs.
" What's wrong, angel?"
" Nothing. I'm just being a girl." I said, trying to brush it off.
He put his finger under my chin and tilted my face up to his. " You can tell me anything."
" I'm just happy that we could actually had a chance. Now were married and I never thought I would ever have you. It's just so much."
A lop-sided smile made its way across his face " I know. Sometimes it's just hard to think it's actually real. I wake up and think it's a dream. But then I look over and see you. Your right there and laying next to me like it's not a big deal. Being with you... Bella, I can't explain how happy I am that we had the chance. I wouldn't have this if we didn't."
I leaned up and pressed my lips to his. Edward's hands brushed over my face and he ran his hands through my hair. I tilted my head to the side and deepened the kiss, trying to express my love for him.

Edward held my hand as we walked along the sidewalk. My right hand rested on my little baby bump of four months, a small smile on my face. He smiled down at me, the pride in his eyes shocking me.
" How is she?"
I rolled my eyes " Your so sure it's a girl aren't you?"
He nodded enthusiasticly.
" He is doing just fine." I stated, putting emphasis on the 'he'
" It's a girl. Stop lying to yourself." he said confidently
I gripped his hand tighter as we headed into the familar resturaunt, Puttanesca. It's a Italian Bistro not far from home. We were seated in a both, a candle lit and set in the middle of the table. I sat across from Edward and held his hands over the table.
" Hello, I'm Amber and I will be your waiter. What can I get you to drink?" she asked cheerfully.
" Water." I replied.
" Iced tea, no sugar with a lemon."
Edward never kept things simple.
" OH MY GOD! Your Edward Cullen former football player for the Dallas Cowboys! Can I get your autograph. I have a pen, paper. Hell, write on my arm!" she exclaimed.
He looked up and glared at her " I would appreciate if you got drinks for my wife and I. We did not come here so I could sign autographs. Now do your job before I get you fired for not doing it."
She shut up and scampered off, like a dog with it's tail beneath it's legs.
" Rawr," I growled with a laugh
" Funny, Isabella." he said seriously.
" Loosen up,"
The menu dropped from his hands and he shoved it away, looking annoyed. I stared at him, confused by his sudden change of emotion. He was looking away from me and into the small crowd of people sitting in tables.
" Why are you getting so pissy? I didn't do anything." I stated, staring at him fiercly
" Nothing! I'm fine."
I groaned " If you value my sanity, never tell me you are ' fine'."
" Fine then, Isabella. Great, marvelous, fantastic."
With anger I stood up and stalked towards the exit. I felt a hand lock around my wrist and stop me. He all but dragged me back to the table and sat me into the booth again.
" Why can't you just calm down. I swear you are batshit crazy when I try to avoid things. What's wrong? I can't have a simple dinner with my wife without some fangirl wanting my autograph. I am tired of paparazzi. Woke up this morning, went outside for the paper. I see someone with a camera sticking through the fence. I might as well get an imaginary fence where it zaps people who try and go past it."
I rubbed his hand " I understand your frusteration but don't get angry at me. I'm here for you to confine in me. Just talk to me okay? I love you and if you want to tell me about frusterations or something. Then just come to me and we can talk."
He nodded " I'm sorry. I feel like an ass, your carrying my demon and I have to act like a fucking girl about issues that have been occuring since I've started playing."
" This isn't a demon child." I said, patting my belly.
He leaned forward and kissed my lips " If it's mine. It's a demon."
" Never."

The waitress kept silent for the most part. She seemed a little scared but what she didn't understand is that if she said his name loud enough... People would come running in all directions towards him.
Edward and I ate our lunch quietly. We shared a huge lobster smothered in butter and lemon. It was delicious if I do say so myself. When finished Edward stood and took my hand to help me up. I smoothed my hands over my spaghetti strapped, blue summer dress.
I stumbled slightly with my white heels but balanced. We held hands as we walked out and when walking out and started out on the sidewalk, I heard a familar voice say Edward's name.
We both stood, frozen and panicked.
" Please tell me that nobody called my name and we can keep walking." he whispered.
" Come on," I encouraged, walking us forward.
" EDWARD!" the excited voice belted, now just behind us.
I spun around on my heel and a gasp flew from her over botoxed lips. Her hair was basically platinum now, her lips were all chunky looking and her top lip was twice the size of her bottom. Her nose was crooked and hell, her boobs were even bigger and more fake looking. She was wearing a micro-mini skirt that was red and a skin tight halter top.
Edward held onto my arm tightly and I leaned into him.
" Your with her!" she screamed, drawing attention to a few people. " That was not part of...anything! No! How can you be with this slut."
" Slut?! I'm a slut?! Your a home-wrecking whore. The most vile creature who has walked this planet. How about you go screw yourself. Better yet, go back to James. You clearly deserve nothing more then him."
Just as she was about to raise her hand to me Edward pushed me behind me and grabbed her raised wrist.
" If you ever try to raise your hand to my wife, I will ruin your life and make you miserable to the point of suicide. Shut your goddamn mouth and go ruin the lives of somebody else. You must be pretty stupid and bored if you are just coming back to me. Your a fake bitch and I don't ever want to look at you again."
Her jaw dropped and Edward grabbed my hand, turning us around and walking towards the direction of the car down the street.
" YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME FOREVER. WERE MEANT TO BE EDWARD CULLEN!" she screamed.
Some people froze and stared at us.
" She's crazy." he said outloud.
I laughed and we walked down the street. Edward opened my door and I slipped in quickly.
Finally we put that bitch in her place
----
I shifted around in bed, trying to get comfortable but the craving was eating me alive. It was four in the morning and I was craving peanut butter and apples desperatly. Edward suddenly groaned beside me and rolled over to face me.
" What is it this time, angel?"
" Peanut butter and apple's." I said shyly.
He ran a hand over his face and got out of bed, slipping on a jacket from the chair.
" Edward, you do-"
" Yes, I do. I promised that I would take care of you and you and I both know you won't get sleep."
He kissed my lips before walking out of the bedroom. I laid back in our plush bed and rubbed my belly.
" Your torturing daddy, baby." I laughed as I felt a kick.
I laid in bed for a long while, waiting for Edward. Just as I got the first one, I felt another craving come on quickly. Reaching for my phone I grabbed it and dialed Edward's cell phone number. He picked up on the first ring and greeted me.
" Hey. I really want some-"
" Apple Pie Icream?" he interrupted
I smiled " How'd you know?"
" I just know, angel." he said before handing up.
Twenty minutes he arrived back home. He was holding a big bowl of peeled and chopped apples with peanut butter, and a carton of icecream with a spoon balanced ontop. He laid down in bed and handed me the apples and peanut butter. Edward opened up the icecream and spooned some into his mouth as I chewed on the apples dipped in peanut butter. Once I was sick of that Edward fed me bites of icecream.
" Thank you. I don't tell you enough."
" I know by actions. Your welcome."

November 20th
2010

" Edward," I wailed
" Bella, I am exhausted. Can't your cravings wait until tomorrow?"
The pain made me gasp and I heaved for breath. Edward lifted his head from my chest and stared down at me.
" What's wrong?" he demanded.
" Oh, shit. God, this hurts." I whined, laying back in bed
Edward shot out of bed like a rocket and came to my side. I felt him grip my hand and pull me up slowly. I gasped from the slight pain and let out a groan.
" Deep breaths, Bella." he said " Is it contractions, for real?"
I nodded wildly and he let me go. " I'm going to grab the bag we put together and then I'll come back and we'll go."
He darted into the closet and came back a moment later holding a small black bag. I watched as he ran down the stairs. Snow was thickly on the ground, for it was already November 20th. Edward was mostly likely starting up the car to warm, I thought.
I felt another searing pain and gasped. Edward came back into the room and looked at me. The poor guy looked panicked. He reached for my hands and I gave them to him. With no warning he pulled me up.
" I'm not ready, Edward!" I yelled
" Sorry, oh I am so sorry."
I wrapped my arms around his waist and he shifted around. The position was comfortable and I didn't want to move.
" We've got to move you, Angel."
" No, please no. It hurts." I cried.
He hooked his arms under the back of my knee's and lifted me up easily. I wasn't huge, but it was easy to figure I was pregnant. My head lolled to the side and rested on Edward's neck as he carried me down the stairs.
" Keep calm, okay? Everything will be fine. We'll get you to the hospital and check you out. I'll call the doctor."
I nodded and took a deep breath. He helped me into the Volvo and shut the door. It was positively freezing outside and I thanked Edward for the blanket. He got into the car and made a call to our doctor, luckily it was only nine thirty and he was avaliable. Edward called Alice, Rose, Emmett and Jasper to let them know. Along with his parents and my parents.
When we arrived at the hospital Edward rushed to the desk and got me a wheelchair. The pain was intense when the contractions came but I was trying to get a hold of myself.
I was settled into a room quickly and Edward helped me into a hospital gown. The doctor was on his way and in the mean time I was being hooked up to an IV and they were watching the babies heartbeat.
" Bella! I am surprised to see you. A little early are you?"
" Yeah," I whispered
" How far apart are your contractions?" he asked.
" About a minute." I whined.
He sat down in a chair and rolled over to me, slipping on a pair of gloves in the process " Well, I'll check how many cenimeters you are dialted. From the sound of it your progressing quickly. Which is a little quick for a first baby."
After he did what he did down south he draped the blanket over me " You are already at eight cenimeters. Now I am going to get a nurse ready and if you feel the need to push in the next thirty minute then press the nurse button."
I nodded in understanding and he left the room.
" I feel this is going too fast." I gasped.
Edward sat down in the chair next to the bed and held my hand " I know it is. But the faster we get this over with then we can have our little baby and you can be out of pain. I hate seeing you in pain."
He let me crush his hand through the contractions and soon the doctor was back and he checked me again.
" I have to push!" I wailed, feeling the urge.
" Hang on one second." the doctor said, slipping on gloves. The nurse held a blanket ready for the baby.
I bent my head down, resting my chin on my chest. Edward held my hand tightly.
" Just hold my hand, Bella. However tight you want."
My eyes squeezed shut and Dr. Klana instructed me to push. With everything I had in me, I pushed as hard as I could and felt my jaw drop slightly with pain. Small pants escaped my mouth and I tried to keep pushing.
" The baby is right there, Isabella." the doctor told me.
" Oh, god." I breathed.
" You can do it, Bella." Edward whispered in my ear, kissing my temple.
I gripped his hand and gave one big push. When a tiny cry filled the air I felt the pain slowly fade away. I slumped back into the bed and Edward wiped my forehead with a towel and kissed it.
" You are both the proud parents of a little girl." Dr. Kalana announced.
" Told you," Edward mumbled against my temple.
He cut the cord and they quickly weighed and measured her before swaddling her in a pink blanket. The nurse handed her to me and I looked down at her. She was absolutely beautiful. There was a mop of bronze hair ontop of her head, there was alot of hair and it was curly and thick. She had my nose and lips, but Edward's strong jaw and super tiny ears.
" Hey, sweetheart." I whispered quietly.
Edward reached out and brushed his hand over her little cheek. She made this weird noise and shifted in my arms. The nurse took her from me, telling me that they had to take her to the newborn room for a while.
I got a new hospital gown and I was checked into a room. I felt exhausted and I knew Edward was too. We hadn't gotten around to talking about names but we would. The doctor came in and talked to us for awhile, letting us know that we could see her in the morning and she was doing great. They had formula fed her and everything. I wanted to see her but I was too exhausted to tend to her at the moment.
Esme and Carlisle got a hold of Edward and said they would visit first thing in the morning. My parents and our friends were all flying out to see us and the baby. Rosalie was so excited Edward had told me.
They allowed Edward to stay with me in the hospital and he curled up in the cramped hospital bed, arms wrapped around me in a tight embrace.
" Thank you,"
" For?"
" Giving me more of a reason to live." he whispered.
I smiled " Thank you. You made it happen considering you were the source of baby making."
He chuckled and ran a hand through my hair. His nose was buried in my curly brown locks, breathing in my scent. The gold blanket was wrapped around us, Edward had brought it up from the car. It was a comfortable item that reminded me of home.
Around eleven I felt myself drifting. Edward was dead asleep and his head was resting on my chest. In the years of sleeping with Edward, I found he was really big on cuddling. He just found it enjoyable and it was always him cuddling into me, not the other way around.
I brushed my hands over his wild bronze hair " I love you, Edward." I whispered before falling into a swift, dreamless sleep.

" Holly! Sweetheart. Momma told you not to do that!" I shouted as she threw her cup into the hot soapy water. It splashed around, creating a mess all over the counters and floor.
A giggle escaped her and she ran down the hall.
Why did I have kids?
After cleaning up the mess I was startled by the sound of the front door opening and shutting. The scream from the two-year old terror signalled who it was.
" DADDY!" She screamed on the top of her lungs.
I swear I take twenty tylenol as day just to get through her screaming in the afternoons. Holly normally stays in day car from nine to two while I am at work. Edward gets home around six, sometimes five thirty depending on how on-time class is.
" Hey, sweetheart. What are you up to?"
" Nothin'," I heard her mumbled as her voice became closer.
Edward appeared in the doorway, holding a smiling Holly in his arm. He kissed my lips chastely and she squirmed, after setting her down she ran around the kitchen like a crazy banshee.
" Why is she so much like you?" I groaned.
" Hey! She's like you when your drunk."
I glared at him " Mean. I don't think you deserve dinner."
" Bella! What did I tell you about being on your feet too much. I was already upset about letting you drive to work and taking Hol to daycare. When you get home rest on the couch."
I sighed " I'm not a doll, Edward. The baby is fine and it's not like I was told to be on bed rest."
He rubbed my tiny bump and kissed my nose " I worry about you, okay? I just love you so much."
" A little too much. Your not my dad, okay?"
" I am thirty four. That's pretty old," he mumbled against my cheek, rubbing his stubble over my face.
Edward, Holly and I ate our dinner, which consisted of chicken fettuchini alfredo. Holly ate her food neatly, and used a fork for once. Her long bronze hair was pulled back so the curls wouldn't get into her food.
When she finished she begged us, using her big brown puppy dog eyes, to let her go play. She washed her hands and Edward and I finished eating. Only five minutes of her being away she dragged Edward out of his seat and they went to her room to play 'house'. It was quite cute to watch sometimes.
I cleaned up dinner, patting my now growing belly. I hoped it was a boy this time, I wanted a little boy that looked exactly like Edward.
After cleaning the table and washing the kitchen counters I set down the dish rag and went into the laundry room. The clothes were folded and all I had to do was bring up Edward's button ups. He ironed them in the morning so I didn't have to worry about taking care of that.
I turned off the lights downstairs and sauntered upstairs to Holly's bedroom just as Edward was tucking her in. He kissed her forehead and whispered his love softly into her ear. I quietly walked down the hallway and into our familar bedroom.
Holly was a blessing as a baby. She was never too cranky but was a nightowl. I think we were incredibly lucky. But now that she talked and walked, she was a terror. She would scream things instead of just saying them. It was funny at times, but gave you a headache.
She had my brown eyes and Edward's beautiful copper hair. Holly was a tiny little girl, very skinny and pale. We were like two pea's in a pod.
I shut the bedroom door and crossed my arms infront of me. I pulled off my tanktop and shivered at the cool air hitting my now bare skin
Not a second later I felt two arms wrapping around the soft curves of my waist. They were warm and muscular. Edward...
"Hello, angel." he whispered into my ear.
I twisted around in his grasp and pressed my body against him, lips connecting. He moaned and wrapped his arms tighter around my waist. I jumped up and Edward slid one hand down under my ass and helped me up. I locked my legs around him and tugged at his hair.
Edward backed us towards the bed. He lowered us down to the bed and his hands wandered over my stomach. After a moment he cradled my head in his hands and kissed me deeply and passionatly.
-----
My breathing was still a little uneven and my heart was going a mile a minute. I reached for Edward's button up and my boyshort panties and slipped both on. Edward groaned and rolled over, his green eyes staring into mine.
" What are you doing?"
I handed him the discarded boxers " Holly likes to come in at unexpected times and days."
He reluctently slipped them on and looked back at me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and slumped against him. His hand rubbed my stomach soothingly and slowly.
" Is little baby okay in there?" Edward asked.
I laughed " Maybe a tad jostled but yes."
He chuckled with me and wrapped his free arm around me, kissing my forehead gently. I felt my eyes slowly close and I drifted off

2015
October

Over the past few years of being married, having children, handling a job and parenthood. Life has been fairly nice to Edward and I now. It seemed like we had so much bad we were finally treated with the good.
Edward's thirty six Birthday passed just a little while ago. He was freaking out when he found one grey hair in his bronze mop. I swear he was going to get more if he panicked about only being thirty four.
I gave birth to little Robert Edward on August 5th in 2013. He is now two years old and Holly is four.
Robert looks just like Edward, which is what I wanted in the first place. His bronze hair is crazy and his green eyes are almost as bright as Edward's. He is as skinny as a bean pole for his age, but he is the cutest little toddler.
We both had the perfect family. One girl and one boy. Edward and I were very content with what we had. Great and successful jobs, perfect kids, amazing parents and fantastic friends that lived far away, but we were still close to them.
Emmett and Jasper were still playing for the Dallas Cowboys, still doing as well as they did when I first had met them.
Alice had quit cheerleading, along with Rosalie, to persue a career in fashion. She and Jasper were living in a two story home with their three children. Jackson, Katie and Meredith.
Rose went to college to get her degree as a first grade teacher and is working at a school close to her home with Emmett and their twins, Lillian and Hayden, who were as beautiful as their mother and as cute as their father.
They had proved that Cheerleading Isn't So Easy. Both had fallen in love with forbidden players. The coach was almost happy when the girls had quit, Alice had claimed.
Phil had gotten and oppurtunity to move out here to become a New York Yankee and both him and my mother had jumped at the chance. They missed the constant sun of Jacksonville but loved being here.
My father had basically moved to the other side of the world from where I am. Now living in a rainy town called, Forks that was located in Washington. He was a chief police and is currently dating a lady named Sue, a widow who has two kids of her own, Seth and Leah. Very nice people. I was glad my father was happy. We made sure to visit often over the summer and on holidays. The kids completely adored their grandfather, as if he were a god.
Carlisle was still working in the hospital and Esme still had her job. They lived in the same house after long discussion on not watching to sell the house Edward grew up in. It was huge but it was home.
Edward and I lived in the same house we had bought together. Living happy and content with the life we now had. We were finally able to be Edward and Bella. I felt important for once, I had a reason. My kids and my husband are the reason I breath. The reason I bother to get out of bed in the morning and do something with my life. Edward and I had gone through so much heartbreak and now we could just live. We could be who we wanted to be, nobody to bother us.
We could now drift off into our happily ever after
