10 MONTHS LATER- April 2nd 2011

"And here Bella is, all blushing and ready to marry my cousin!" Alice squealed into the video camera.

I rolled my eyes. "Alice, stop before I embarrass myself and you show the video to my children, causing me awkward moments for the rest of my life," I mumbled as Rosalie braided my hair.

"She's so happy that she's already thinking about children!"

I resisted the urge to slap my forehead. The girls wouldn't like it if I messed up my make-up. Not on my wedding day.

I felt a sense of déjà vu, but this time was so much different. All eyes were going to be on me, not Alice, who made a much more stunning bride. Alice kept gabbing into the video camera while I just kind of stared into space as Rosalie finished her work.

Edward had gotten out of the wheelchair sometime during December and my mom stopped worrying about postponing the wedding. I didn't know why she would postpone it anyway. Everyone would be looking at me regardless of what Edward was sitting in. I was the klutz that would destroy my own wedding, after all. I was glad to see him out of it, though. Oh, no, I was starting to hyperventilate.

"Show time, sister," Rose smiled as Nicole and Leah waved at us from their seats, since they were the only ones that could see up the stairway.

I gulped. "Yes. Show time. I'll be okay."

Charlie vaporized out of nowhere and took my hand.

"Hey dad," I chuckled nervously.

"You'll be fine, Bells," he said. "It's just that when I imagined you getting married, I didn't think you'd be this young."

"I'm 25, dad. Were you planning on 40?"

He laughed quietly and said, "Let's go."

I gulped and looked down the endless white of the stairs. "If I live, it'll be a miracle."

I was expecting some barfing or tripping over the train of the dress, but as I stepped onto the floor, I felt oddly calm. I smiled as everyone stared at me, but I still blushed. My gaze remained on Edward's eyes the whole time and I almost sighed with relief when I finally got to him. I took in everything that was said carefully, but when the wedding guests were asked for objections to the wedding, I tensed because I had sworn I saw jet black hair and tan skin sneak in a little before the wedding march had started.

"I object!" yelled a terribly familiar voice. Everyone turned towards the voice of Jacob Black, standing there in a tux with Leah in his arms and smiling like it was so amusing to interrupt someone's wedding day.

"I'm just kidding," he chuckled. "I'm here for you, Bella!" Leah winked at me.

People began to laugh a little, and I did too, because I could clearly see the joking expression in his eyes and Leah wouldn't be supporting him if he was here to ruin my life. Jacob was a friend.

"That's great, Jake. Now, will you let me get married?"

He grinned. "Yeah." There was more laughing.

I turned to Edward as we exchanged vows. "I do."

* * *

Edward twirled me gracefully at the reception and made it look like I could actually dance. Nicole and Leah had taken over the video camera and whispered excitedly as they kept it on us the whole time. Jacob gazed at Leah like she was the only thing in the world. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was a werewolf and had just imprinted.

"I'm so glad you two are finally together. What was taking so long?" Carmen and Eleazar asked as we took the time to meet our guests.

"Oh, we like to take it slow," I grinned as I clung to Edward's arm. I was feeling a little more confident as he gazed down at me with a crooked grin.

"Yeah, and the wheelchair made it take a little longer. Man, that thing was annoying."

I frowned at him, remembering how broken I was when he got into that accident.

"Of course! Well, we'd better go, now. May you two have a great married life!" Carmen waved as the next round of people came up.

"Hi, Edward! You're beautiful, Bella…" even though Irina had come all the way from Russia to see us get married, I was barely focusing on her words now. Edward was stroking little circles on my back. Ahh, Bella like…

"Thanks, Irina," I mumbled. She giggled, obviously guessing at the reason of my wistful tone of voice.

"See ya."

Finally, I got the chance to ask Jacob why he was here. "Change your mind about ruining every good moment in my life?" I asked a little angrily. Just because he was a friend now didn't mean I couldn't yell at him for the things he'd done before.

"Uh," he said, scratching the back of his neck. "Yeah. I don't know. It's just that so many girls would just kind of fall into my lap, and you weren't like that. It made me kind of crazy. I thought something was wrong with me. But then, the night you, er, punched me, I realized Leah is the woman that I've really always wanted. After I set myself straight and got a decent job, I asked her to forgive me, and she did, but she said I should ask you for forgiveness, too, since I had affected your life so much. I was already going to do that…today. Will you forgive me, Bella Cullen?"

Bella Cullen. That sounded amazing. I looked at Edward's dreamy expression and it looked like he thought so, too.

"Bella?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Of course I forgive you."

He grinned. "Can I...hug you? With the permission of the husband?"

Edward smirked. "Sure."

He hugged me and I giggled. "Good job, Jake. No groping."

He laughed, but Edward had on a murderous glare. "If you do grope my wife, I will kill you. Meanwhile, enjoy the reception!"

"Yes, sir!" Jake saluted and ran towards Leah.

"Edward!" I chastised. "Don't scare the guests!"

He laughed and we got back to dancing until someone else tapped on Edward's shoulder.

She had wavy brown hair and ocean blue eyes. She had a guilty expression on her face, and next to her stood a tall, sandy-haired guy with his arm around her shoulders.

It was Kate.

I was going to get an Edward-Induced-Glare for this one.

"Hi, Kate," he smiled uncomfortably.

"Hi, Edward," she replied. The man was now holding her hand and squeezing it protectively. I hid behind Edward's arm. Supportive, huh?

"I, uh, thought it would be nice for you two to see each other again and, uh, work out your relationship," I smiled.

"Mmm-hmm," Edward muttered.

Kate took a deep breath and launched into her apology. Edward nodded throughout, but he was still angry with her…and maybe with me, as well. He had an iron grip on my arm.

"Well, the past is the past," he said and exhaled slowly. "I guess I know why you had to leave me. Garrett's your Bella. You can't live without him. I know that now."

Garrett smiled at Kate.

"But I wouldn't go as far as to kiss Bella in front of my ex. Especially if I haven't broken up with the ex yet."

Kate looked at her shoes.

"You made me feel like a joke. Do I look like a fool now, standing beside my new wife and surrounded by people I love? No, I don't. But you made me feel like one anyway."

She shook her head.

"So, yes, I'm over you, but I have feelings, Kate. Your rejection, especially the way you executed it, really hurt."

She sighed and looked him in the eyes. "I know."

Edward smiled. "I won't forgive you right now, but maybe it's possible in the future."

"So, will see you again soon?"

"Sure. Bella will call you."

She nodded painfully, gave a small smile, and headed out.

I kissed his palm. "I'm so proud of you."

Edward laughed and we resumed our dancing. "I appreciate that."

* * *

"Bye, guys! I love you!" I yelled to everyone gathered around the car.

"BYE EDWARD AND BELLA!" Everyone yelled back. Renee and Charlie were both crying, though Charlie was too shy to admit. Carlisle and Esme were smiling, as were Hannah and William. Jasper's parents also stood in the middle and waved with clumps of our very large family on either side.

I laughed as Edward played with my hair. The evening had its fair share of laughing and crying, and now I was ready to go on my honeymoon. Gulp. Maybe.

We were honeymooning on an island Carlisle had bought Esme. It was called Isle Esme and it was right off the coast of Brazil. Once we'd gotten off the flight, we'd driven to a dock and then rowed to the island.

Now, I was standing out on the porch, looking up at the moon…with no clothes on except for a robe. Edward had chosen music (I still didn't understand why people had sex with music on) and was now resting on the humongous bed…with no clothes on except for his boxers. And I was getting more and more agitated.

Tick, tock, tick tock, sang an annoying, Alice-sounding voice in my head.

"Shut up," I muttered.

Come on, Bella. He didn't take you on this honeymoon for nothing. It's only natural to have sex after marriage, if not before. If he wasn't ready, he would've told you, dammit! the voice hissed angrily.

"What do you want me to do, just go in there and ask him to touch me?" I scoffed.

"Bella? Who are you talking to?" Edward asked from the room.

"Shit," I hissed. "No one!"

"Alright…"

I concentrated on breathing in and out. "I can do this. I will do this."

You go, girl!

"Edward?" I said tentatively.

He sat up, his abs glowing in the faint light and his green eyes as dark as the trees outside. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. It's just that…I, um...well…never mind," I blushed, feeling stupid.

"No, really. What's wrong?"

I huffed and tried to get myself to look into his eyes. "Why won't you touch me?" I blurted.

He just stared at me with surprise for a few minutes, and then started laughing.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I muttered and blushed.

"I'm not laughing at you…I just…I thought you didn't want me to touch you. I was waiting until you were ready for more intimacy."

I frowned. "This 'waiting for more intimacy' thing isn't working out. I've been ready for over a year. I was waiting for you." We both laughed together.

"Well I guess we should have talked to each other instead of deciding for ourselves, first," Edward said in a low tone of voice. I closed my eyes. The sound was doing things to me.

"Come here, Bella," he whispered. My legs had turned into jelly, but I stumbled forward, anyway.

"Lie down on the bed, love." He continued pouring the words like honey. When we were both completely exposed to each other, he whispered, "Beautiful."

My throat tightened up and I knew that I would always love Edward and he would always love me.

"Tell me if it hurts too much, okay?" he softly said into my ear.

I nodded.
