She LIVES...yes folks this is not a hallucination...this is an honest to goodness real chapter...and the wedding no less.

I appreciate everyone's patience since the last few months have literally been hell for me. The cherry topper on the shit sundae that was 2010 for me, was having to euthanize my 29 year old, almost 30, horse, Gunner, who I have had for 19 years. Yes for those who read ASR/ASEA, he is the inspiration for the Gunner in that story. Saying goodbye to him on December 20th, was extremely hard, but was the right thing. I miss him, and still cannot believe he is gone. But he lives on in fanfic land, as well as my heart.

So as I head into my LAST semester of classes in vet school before I go into my 4th year...I hope you enjoy this chapter. I'm working on the wedding night now. Yes sorry, no lemon here my lovelies...that would have made this too perfect, and you would be hallucinating.

My love to everyone, and here's to 2011 being a better year for everyone. Oh and in regards to the legal things in this chapter, I'm not a lawyer, I'm a vet student. I did do some research besides watching Law and Order...but it's not necessarily true to life.

Chapter 21

BPOV

A couple of days after my testimony, we returned to the courtroom because Victoria had called. The jury had reached a verdict and the judge would be deciding Jake's sentence today if they found him guilty.

Nervously I sat next to Edward, who had his arm around me, holding me snugly into his side. Jake was in the courtroom, but every time he even thought of looking back towards me, his lawyer stopped him. We were both dressed more casually, but Edward was intentionally sporting his all-out biker look.

The judge looked over as the jury walked in. Once they were all seated he asked the foreman, "Has the jury reached a verdict?"

An older man, who reminded me of the wizard Gandalf, stood up. "Yes we have your honor."

The bailiff went over and took a folded piece of paper from the foreman. The judge received it, opened it and then looked back to the jury. "This verdict is unanimous?"

Every member of the jury answered out loud, "Yes," a few nodding as well. Edward squeezed me a little seeing their solidarity.

The judge focused on Jake, "Will the defendant please rise?" Jake stood slowly with his attorney. "Jacob Black, on the charge of assault in the first degree with sexual motivation, you have been found guilty. On the charge of indecent liberties with forcible compulsion, you have been found guilty."

I instantly sagged into Edward. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head. Victoria looked discreetly over her shoulder and gave us a little smile. Jake's head was down as he stared at his hands folded on the table.

Continuing the judge reviewed some papers on his desk. "These crimes, with the addition of the sexual motivation, are class A felonies, and carry with them a maximum sentence of 193 months, or sixteen years in prison. This is your first offense; however the violent nature and premeditation you showed must be considered. I am sentencing you to twelve years in a maximum-security correctional facility to be determined. Consideration for parole will not be offered until five years. This court is adjourned."

I gave Jake a smirk of triumph as they led him from the courtroom. I turned to see Edward basically giving him a look of death. Victoria walked back after speaking a few words to Jake's attorney on her way. "Well do you both feel better now?"

"You have no idea," I replied. "Thank you."

Edward rubbed my back and joined in. "Yes thank you. We appreciate all you have done."

Victoria nodded, "Well of course they'll try to appeal. But they won't be successful."

Then Edward asked her the question I hadn't found the guts to. "What happened to Billy?"

"He decided pleading guilty was in his best interest if he wanted out of prison before he died. I believe they dropped the charge to second degree kidnapping, but I'm not sure what deal was worked out. But he'll be in jail for a while."

We stood and talked a few more minutes but basically our partnership with Victoria was done. I reached out and hugged her hard before we left. "Thank you again for what you did."

Victoria smiled and looked me straight in the eye. "You did it Bella, don't forget that." Edward squeezed my hand in agreement with her and I just nodded.

Once we were home I fell asleep on the couch within moments of laying down on it. It was like my body knew it could finally rest. I woke up four hours later with my legs draped over Edward's lap as he read a magazine.

"Hey." I stretched a little.

"Hey gorgeous," Edward smiled over as he rubbed my legs. "Feel better after your catnap?"

"Yeah, a lot better."

Edward waved his car magazine at me with a little glint in his eye. "Want to go car shopping?"

"Sure. I assume you already know exactly what kind of car you want." I sat up and took the magazine from him, flipping through the pages.

"Of course. And I know what dealer has a selection of colors in the model I want for you to choose from."

I shook my head. "I have a feeling I'm just going to be along for the ride with your decisions a lot in the next month. Good thing I have such a good looking guy to ride with"

Edward leaned over, gave me a soft kiss and then a mischievous smile. Oh yes, he already had ideas I had no knowledge of and I had already blindly agreed to. This was going to be interesting.

A few hours later Edward was driving us home in his brand new car. I sat in the passenger seat and inhaled the smell of new leather. I heard Edward chuckle and turned to look at him. "What? I like the smell of leather." Edward gave me a quick smirk with a raised eyebrow. "Oh stop." I shook my finger at him.

"You love it."

"I love you." I reached forward and played with the stereo. "I will tell you I'm still shocked you picked a Volvo. Granted it is a convertible…..but a Volvo?"

Edward drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. "It's a safe car, but it's fun and it has balls." He revved the engine a little and grinned at me. "I'm surprised you didn't pick the red one."

"What can I say, I like you in black. Besides some of the leather is red so I think we have the best of both worlds."

"I would agree." Edward pulled into the garage and parked between my car and his motorcycle. Turning in his seat he reached over and rubbed the side of my face. "When do we get to christen the car baby?"

I giggled. "Hmm. Sex in the new car? Aren't you worried about ruining the upholstery?"

Edward smiled and wrapped his hand behind my neck, pulling me over the center console. "Why do you think I got leather seats?" He brushed his lips over mine and winked.

"Well I think we should break it in when we can have the top down and be outdoors somewhere, where no one can see us. Then you can take me anyplace on your new car that you'd like, as many times as you'd like."

A little growl escaped the back of Edward's throat. "I like how you think."

When we got inside Edward disappeared into the bedroom on his phone and shut the door. I rolled my eyes. He was plotting again. Whatever possessed me to think that giving him free rein when it came to us getting married was a good idea? Oh well.

A little while later he found me in front of my laptop in the kitchen, going through my studio inventory to see what I needed to order. "Are you online?"

I looked up as he pulled a chair up next to me. "No but I can be." I connected to the internet and slid my laptop towards him. "What's up?"

Edward just grinned and started typing. I leaned back and watched him, wondering what he was up to now. Finally he turned to me, "Does it say Bella Marie on your driver's license or Isabella?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Bella. What are you doing Edward?"

Edward returned to typing. "I'll show you in a minute, I promise." The smirk he had on his face told me exactly how much he was enjoying this. "Okay I know your Dad's name, what was your mother's name?"

"Renee Andrea Swan." I leaned over and tried to see what the hell was on the screen but he turned the screen away. "Ass," I muttered as he chuckled. He typed a few more minutes and then stopped.

"All right…..look at this please and see if you find any mistakes or errors."

I slid my laptop away from him and looked at the screen. It was a form, entitled 'Online Marriage Certificate Application'. I scanned down the page and saw he had filled in all the information. When I glanced back up the page I saw what it read in the top corner, Clark County Nevada.

"Vegas?" I guessed. I looked up at Edward who was watching my reaction closely.

"Yes, if that's okay. This just makes it so we can pick up the license quickly when we get there."

I tapped my fingers nervously on the table. "Um, yeah that's fine but why Vegas? Please tell me you aren't some closet Elvis freak and we are being married by an Elvis impersonator." Edward started to laugh and I smacked his shoulder. "It's not funny. I am giving you leeway, but I refuse to be married by Elvis."

Edward took my hand that was tapping the table and kissed the back of it. "I promise you, no Elvis. Nothing cheesy. Vegas just happens to be the location that had the main element I wanted to include for our wedding."

"The main element? Okay. Do you have a date for when this is happening yet, and do our friends know? Wait, how are we going to get them all there….." Edward put a finger over my lips.

"That's who I was on the phone with. I was clearing details with everyone to make sure they can be there. We are all flying down, all six of us. The tickets are bought and paid for already."

I absorbed everything he had told me and then slid the laptop over to him. "Well you better submit this bad boy then."

Edward gave me his crooked smile and finished a few things on the form. His finger hovered over the mouse key and he looked to me. "Can I hit send?"

I fought a smile. "What do you say?"

"Can I fucking hit send?" I nodded and Edward clicked the button. "All right then, it's done."

I got up and crawled over into his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled in against his shoulder. "When is this happening?"

"If I said two weeks from today would you panic?"

I snorted, "No. You could say tomorrow and I wouldn't panic."

"Good to know. But it is two weeks from today." Edward moved my hair so he could kiss the back of my neck.

"All right then." I smiled to myself. "Well I know the where and the when, just not the how."

"And you won't know that until the last minute…..so you will just have to be patient and indulge me in surprising you."

I let out an exaggerated sigh. "For you, I can do that I suppose."

A couple days later we found our rings. Once again someone Edward knew was a private jeweler. Edward joked he had connections, but I was really beginning to believe that he really did. We had decided we just wanted wedding bands. I didn't want some huge diamond engagement ring. I wanted to keep it simple. At the same time we both were looking for something a little different. His friend had just what we wanted. They were platinum bands with matching Celtic style engraving around the outside. Edward's engraving was black and I chose green. When Edward asked me why green, I just smiled and told him it was the color of his eyes. That earned me a sweet kiss, and a little spank on my ass.

Those bands were resting in their respective boxes on top of our dresser now. Every time I walked by I would glance at them and smile. I couldn't help myself. I was looking at them now when Alice came bounding through the bedroom door, pouncing on me. "Bella!"

"Hi Alice." I returned her hug, happy to see her and her infectious energy. "Edward must've let you in, I didn't hear the door."

Alice let me go and handed me a bag with her lingerie shop logo on it. "Yes he did. And I had to smack his hands several times to keep him from looking in here."

"What did you bring me?" I gave her a look before I opened the bag.

"A little something for your wedding night." Alice sat down and the edge of the bed and looked up at me with anticipation. "Go on, open it."

I reaching in the bag, feeling lace and pulled out the lingerie. I found the straps to what was a teddy and held it out in front of me. The airy fabric fell down softly and my jaw dropped. "Alice this is gorgeous." It was white lace, but so soft and sheer it almost floated. White satin ribbon tied at the shoulders as the straps, and then crossed underneath the bodice to where it tied again in the back.

Alice was smiling watching my response. "An Alice original of course, and a singular edition. Look in the bag again."

Inside the bag was Alice's design drawing, framed and signed by her. I felt tears prick my eyes and I blinked hard. "I'm…wow. Thank you Alice…..this is just amazing."

"No tears Bella. What else could I do for my best and original friend? Oh and there are matching panties in the bag too." She reached in and showed me the small scraps of white lace that were tied on the sides with the same satin ribbon. "Although they may not exactly have enough fabric to qualify."

I giggled and took them from her while she put the framed photo back into the bag. "I think you might be right about that." I carefully hid the bag away to keep it from Edward's prying eyes. Now more than ever I couldn't wait for our wedding day, and wedding night.

The day arrived faster than I could believe and suddenly we were on a plane with our friends, headed for Las Vegas. I took the opportunity to nap against Edward's shoulder on the flight, because I knew I had a busy day ahead. We were on an early morning flight in order to allow time for all of Edward's plans. Plans that I still knew very little about.

I was increasingly frustrated with all the secrecy that everyone around me was clearly enjoying being in on. I did my best to smile and not let my annoyance show through, because I didn't want to ruin this for Edward. He had clearly gone above and beyond, as he was wont to do.

Once we were checked into our hotel rooms, Rose and Alice drug me off to the hotel spa for 'preparations' as Alice put it. I had to admit that I thoroughly needed and enjoyed the full body massage and wrap. I was glad that I had already taken care of any waxing a couple of days prior, because knowing Alice she would've signed me up for a full Brazilian and while Edward did enjoy that as the occasional surprise, I was going to have control of some things about my wedding day, including the shape the small patch of hair that was left was behind. That was something I couldn't wait to see Edward's reaction to.

The girls and I got dressed in Alice's room for dinner. I knew Edward had arranged for some suite in the hotel for our honeymoon night but I wouldn't see it until later. Alice had helped me pick out a beautiful white lace cocktail dress after Edward had given her a few hints. It had a simple white satin band around the waist and the skirt ended a few inches above my knees. I wore a single pearl that rested above my cleavage, framed by the v-neck of the dress. Matching pearl drop earrings were in my ears. Alice stood behind me in the mirror, adjusting a final strand of hair she had been pinning up for me in a mass of curls at the back of my head.

"Will I do?" I met her eyes in the mirror and Rose walked in to see Alice's handiwork.

Alice snorted, "Bella you are glowing, it's disgusting really." Rose giggled and nodded. I looked back in the mirror, and couldn't help smiling at my reflection. I couldn't wait to see Edward's reaction.

Our men were all waiting in the hotel lobby for us. I strolled slowly in the modest heels I wore, because I didn't want to have Edward's first impression be me sprawled on my ass if I fell. Jasper caught sight of us and gestured to Edward to turn around. He did and I watched as his eyes grew large and then darkened as he looked me over from head to toe. Once I was near enough he took my hands in his and just smiled.

"Bella…..just…..wow."

I gazed up at him, fighting the urge to bite my lip since Alice would chew me out for ruining my makeup. "You look wow yourself." He was dressed in black slacks and a black button up shirt. A black and silver tie finished the look and I reached up to tug it gently. "I love the tie…..will you wear it….later?" I grinned up at him as he chuckled.

"No, but you might." He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me close. "Seriously, you look so beautiful, I don't have words."

"Thank you." I snuggled into him for a moment, noting that our friends had moved off to give us some privacy.

Finally we had to break it up because Emmett was complaining that he was starving, and wanted to get to the restaurant. Rose rolled her eyes and whispered to me, "Starving my ass…..the man is always eating."

I giggled. "Well you are making him burn a lot of calories aren't you?" Rose snickered and blushed a little. That response was all the answer I needed.

The restaurant Edward had chosen was amazing of course. There seemed to be nothing this man couldn't do. We were about to leave dinner when Edward walked up with a blindfold in his hand. I raised an eyebrow at him, "What is that for?"

"So we can get to our destination without you discovering what it is too early. Come here." He crooked his finger in my direction while everyone else fought laughter.

"Fine." I pointed at our group of friends. "I would appreciate if the peanut gallery would keep their amusement at my expense down to a dull roar."

Edward cupped my face in his hands. "Trust me?"

I sighed and smiled as his thumbs lightly stroked my cheeks. "Always."

"Good girl." Edward turned me around and carefully placed the blind fold over my eyes, ignoring Alice's warnings about not messing up my hair. "Can you see anything?"

"No." I felt Edward's breath suddenly hit my ear and I let out a little gasp.

"Love you," he whispered.

I turned into him and kissed his cheek. "Love you too. Shall we get this show on the road?"

"Absolutely." Edward took my arm and we left the restaurant out into the warm Vegas evening. We walked ahead of the rest of our group, who were excitedly chattering. I was amazed that with the blindfold I was more aware of the feel of Edward next to me and the smell of him. I leaned into him and he wrapped his arm around my waist. "You doing okay with the blindfold?"

"Yeah I am." We continued our walk for a few blocks in my vague estimation. It was hard to tell but I know we paused to cross streets three times. Around me I could hear groups of people passing, in various states of inebriation and excitement. Edward turned us and I could tell we were going into a back area, behind a building. "Are we getting married in an alley?"

Edward chuckled. "No, no alley, no Elvis, I promise."

I heard a male voice, "Hey Edward, long time no see."

Edward greeted this stranger, who I found out was named Peter. "Peter this is Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett. And of course my fiancée Bella."

"Hello everyone. Bella it's good to meet you even though you can't see me."

I shook my head. "Well I assume at some point I will. It's nice to meet you too."

"How's the bike Peter?" We started walking forward and I could tell we were in some sort of hallway with a hard floor.

"Looks amazing of course since you did the job. I might have another one to bring out to you soon."

Edward laughed, "Well it will be on the house with all the help you provided to make it so I could pull this off."

Peter and Edward bantered back and forth on whether the next bike job would be truly on the house. I kept listening and trying to figure out where the fuck we were. We turned several corners, the heels on all our shoes echoing a bit as we walked. I heard a door open and Peter guided us into a room. "I'll be right back."

I twisted my fingers nervously until Edward took my hands in his. "Almost time baby."

"Really? I'm not going to be blindfolded for the ceremony am I? I don't like that idea."

"No, we are just waiting for Peter and a couple other people and then the blindfold comes off. I want to be looking in your eyes when I marry you." His hand came up and stroked my face again. I could feel the slightest tremor in his touch. I was glad to know I wasn't the only one feeling the butterflies.

"Good, because I want to see yours."

I heard the door open again and Peter said, "I found them." Inside my head a voice screamed found who?

Then another male voice spoke up, "All right, let me meet this bride of yours Edward. If she's as gorgeous as my cousin tells me, I may just steal her from you." I knew that voice. Why did I know that voice? It sent a shiver down my spine. Then it hit me…no….no way. Edward was good, but he wasn't that good…..was he?

I turned towards Edward and whispered, "No fucking way, you didn't?" I felt him move behind me and his fingers untie the blindfold.

As I blinked to adjust to the light Edward leaned in and murmured in my ear, "Oh yes I most certainly fucking did." I looked over knowing but not believing that Steven Tyler was standing next to Peter and another gentleman.

"Oh my fucking God." I gasped. Edward was that good.

EPOV

The look on Bella's face was worth every string I had pulled to get us to where we were standing, and who we were standing with. I knew someday that having done work for Steven Tyler's cousin would pay off. Once I got in touch with him and told him what I wanted to do, he was all for it. He thought Steven would be too. I had told Bella I had connections, and I did, but this was the highest I'd ever used them for.

Steven walked forward and shook my hand before he gave Bella his characteristic wide smile. "Well Edward, I think you may be one of the luckiest men on the planet."

I wrapped my arm back around Bella, who was still staring wide-eyed at Steven. "I know I am."

Steven turned to Bella and grinned, "Hi Bella, I hear you are going to marry this young man today."

Bella swallowed, "Um, hi Mr. Tyler…..yes I am."

"None of that Mr. Tyler shit. Steven please. Peter told me you met after our concert in Seattle."

Bella nodded, managing a smile. "We did."

"Well I came in here to wish you both the best, and to kiss the bride if I may?" Steven raised an eyebrow at Bella before looking to me. I just nodded. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "I've got a show to get ready for….I'll see you out there."

He was almost out the door when Bella suddenly spoke up, "Steven?" He paused in the doorway and turned back to her. "It was an honor to meet you, and thank you."

Steven just gave her a wink. "Likewise."

Once he was out of sight Bella sagged against me, "Oh my God, I don't believe that just happened." She looked up at me with a smile. "You are amazing."

"I do what I can." Bella kept gazing up at me with a look like she had just seen me walk on water.

Peter cleared his throat and I remembered who he had with him. "Edward, Bella, this is my friend Jeff. He is a licensed minister."

Jeff came forward and shook both our hands. "I'm pleased to meet you both and be here on this special day. Are you both ready?"

Bella looked up at me again, "I am." There was nothing but certainty and love behind her eyes.

I smiled down at her, "So am I." Alice and Rose moved to stand behind Bella while Jasper and Emmett moved behind me.

"Alright then, Bella and Edward come stand before me, take each other's hands."

I looked down at Bella as I clasped both of her hands in mine. I could see the hints of tears already at the corners of her eyes. "No crying," I whispered.

"Happy tears," Bella whispered back.

The minister led us through the standard vows, minus the whole obey line. Not only was it outdated, Bella and I knew hell would freeze over first before she obeyed anyone. I wouldn't have it any other way either.

Alice and Jasper handed the rings over and we each took our turn sliding them on each other's fingers. Bella's hand was trembling so that I almost had to help her get the ring on my finger. However she managed, blushing as she said, "With this ring I thee wed."

Suddenly it was all done, and the minister pronounced us husband and wife. His, "you may now kiss the bride," broke into my reverie where it was just Bella and me looking into one another's eyes.

I looked at him. "Say that again?" Bella giggled and lightly smacked my arm.

"I'm your wife now. So kiss me Edward." Everyone else cracked up, I just turned back to Bella. I clasped her face in my hands and kissed her. Bella was quick to wrap her arms tightly around my neck, and I deepened the kiss for just a moment, pulling away reluctantly when the minister cleared his throat.

There was a round of applause and congratulations from all sides. The girls jumped on Bella and hugged her. I was quick to pull her back to my side. We had the minister sign off on the marriage certificate which Alice put in her bag for safe keeping. I gave Jasper a look and he nodded in understanding. "I think the newlyweds want a few moments alone. We'll meet you at the seats?"

I nodded and once the door shut and it was just us, I wrapped my arms around Bella's waist. Picking her up I swung her around once, unable to help myself.

"Edward!" Bella laughed as I set her feet back down but didn't let her go. I leaned my forehead against hers and we both closed our eyes for a moment.

"You are really my wife?" I whispered.

Bella's fingers stroked the back of my neck. "Yes, and you are really my husband." I opened my eyes and gazed at her. Every emotion I was feeling I could see in Bella's eyes. I was at a loss as to what to say. Finally I said the only thing I could.

"I love you."

Bella smiled and stretched up to give me a soft kiss. "I love you too."

I took her hand in mine. "We better go join the others or they'll think we started the honeymoon early."

Bella glanced around the very sparsely furnished room in the back of the concert hall. "Um, as much as I love and want you at this moment, I think I'd prefer to wait for the hotel."

I laughed. "Agreed." Fingers intertwined as we walked out and a staff member directed us out of the backstage area and out to arena floor. We found the rest of the gang in the front row. Alice almost jumped on me when she saw me. "Edward! Front row! How did you get front row?"

Before I could answer Bella piped up, "Alice, you just saw Steven Tyler. Do you even need to ask that? My husband has connections."

I grinned down at Bella. "Say that again."

Bella grinned back mischievously, "What part?"

"You know damn well what part."

Raising an eyebrow Bella replied, "What do you say?"

I fought a laugh. "Will you fucking say that again?"

"You mean that my husband has connections?" Bella placed her hands flat on my chest and looked up at me innocently.

"That would be the part my wife."

Next to me Emmett made a gagging noise and Rose reached out and slugged him in the stomach. "Ow! What was that for?"

"Don't be rude on their wedding day." Rose gave him a glare before her face transformed into a sultry smile.

Emmett immediately looked sheepish, "Yes ma'am."

Finally the concert started and I kept Bella standing in front of me. Steven made eye contact with me at one point and grinned. When they sang 'Ragdoll', I pulled Bella's hips back into mine and felt her laugh. That day I found her dancing in the kitchen was still a favorite memory of mine.

Towards the end of the show Steven was taking a break and chatting up the Vegas crowd. He walked across the stage and stood right in front of us, pointing to where we were standing. "Tonight is special because this couple I know, who met at an Aerosmith concert, got married backstage just a couple hours ago. All right Edward and Bella, show me the rings." The crowd started hooting and yelling as we held up our hands. Steven nodded, "Now that is some cool shit. Congrats you two. Thank you both for inviting me to play a part in your day." Steven grinned and pointed at me. "Bella, Edward made sure that out of all of our songs, there was one we absolutely had to play, and he's dedicated it to you, so here it is."

I knew what was coming and from the look on Bella's face when she turned around, so did she. The chords of 'Don't Want To Miss a Thing' started and I watched her blink back tears. I leaned down to her ear. "May I have this dance Mrs. Cullen?"

Bella nodded as I took her in my arms. Like the last time we danced to this song, I sang the lyrics softly in her ear. Bella had her face buried in my chest and I knew by the way she was breathing she was still fighting tears.

The song ended and segued into the next. I just held Bella up against me. "You okay?"

Bella looked up, a few tear streaks on her face. "I'm perfect."

After another song and an encore, the concert was over. Steven untied one of his notorious scarves from his microphone stand and handed it down to Bella before he waved and left the stage. The house lights came up and Bella stood there shaking her head. "I cannot believe this evening. It doesn't feel like it was real."

I reached down and played with her wedding ring. "Trust me baby, it is very real." I wrapped my hand around hers, "Ready for what's next?"

"What is it?" Bella asked.

"It's time for our wedding night." I grinned down at her and she smiled back.

"I am absolutely ready Mr. Cullen. The real question is, are you?" She winked at me and I was reminded once again why the gorgeous woman in front of me was meant to be mine, forever.

I know...I made a VERY unrealistic wedding situation, at least in the real world. But in RTW fic world, Edward is that good...so there! Hope it was worth the wait, and if you still love me after making you wait, review please.
