I awake with the sun streaming down my face. I look and see Bells already awake. I smile down at her and kiss her lips gently. "Ready for the big day?" I ask. She stretches.
"You came here late. How was the bachelor party?" She asks giggling.
"I would have rather been here." I say sitting up. She gets up and wraps herself up in a bathrobe.
"Why' is that?" She asks.
"I would have rather spent my last night as a free man with you." I say. She looks at me.
"Free man?" She asks. "Edward, you can leave any time you want."
"I was joking." I say as she walks over to me.
"I know." She says. She hugs me. "Edward...I'm a little nervous."
"Why? You and Alice have been talking about this every day since we came home." I say looking at her. "Do you want to marry me?"
"Of course." She laughs.
"Then marry me." I say. We kiss. We both hear a knock. And both jump.
"Look, we all know you guys have been sleeping in the same bed together so open the door." Rose sighs. "Come on, we got to have breakfast and separate you two pronto." Rose says opening the door. We shoot up from bed. She rolls her eyes.
"We just woke up." I say.
"Beg to differ. Bella was up since six. She went down, had a cup of coffee and went back up to cuddle with you." Rose says. I look at Bells.
"So, what time is it?" I ask.
"eight." Alice says popping out from a corner giggling. "Come on, come on! We gotta get this party going!" Alice says. We walk downstairs into a room full of pink, white, and red roses. I heard Bells gasp at the room. I chuckle.
"Alice you're always overdoing things." I state taking a step towards the kitchen.
"I'm just finishing up the cake don't come in~!" Esme sings. I stop walking.
"Then where am I supposed to go?" I ask.
"Living room!" Bells calls from the living room. I walk into there. Alice steps in front of me.
"Uh...no. We are separating you two from each other." She says with her hands on her hips.
"Why?" I ask. "And where are you gonna put me."
"Because it's your wedding day."
"And we'll be taking it from here. Thanks Alice." Jasper says. Alice does a sloppy salute with only two hands. Emmett comes up from behind me and pulls me away from the living room with Jasper. We go back up the stairs and go into my bedroom. It's cold. My bed is made perfectly.
"Remember this room?" Emmett says laughing.
"How could I forget?" I ask.
"Okay eat up, get in your tux, we have a wedding to put on!" Emmett roars making me sit down. There's pancakes sitting in front of me. I start eating.
BPOV
I start eating. "I don't understand why you made him leave." I whine.
"Finish! We have a lot of work to do!" Alice says.
"I'll go get the dress~!" Esme sings running upstairs. Esme runs back down. I look at it. The first time I ever looked at it. It was Esme's and she told me it suited me. She really blended me into the family. I was beginning to feel like I had a place. Finally. I smile and shoot up. After showering, Esme blow dried my hair.
"Why don't you girls go get the pin and the necklace off of the dresser." Esme whispers to both Rose and Alice.
"Okay!" They both say and run to get it. I look in the mirror as Esme starts brushing my hair. I hear a soft sob.
"Esme? Are you okay?" I ask turning around. Her eyes was red and tears were streaming down her face. She nods. "What's wrong?"
"I always wanted a little girl...did you know before we got Edward I was pregnant?" She asks.
"What? Really?" I ask.
"Yes, and we never told Edward this...until a year after he was here...he would have twisted it thinking we just replaced him."
"What happened?" I whisper.
"Well, There was a complication with the pregnancy. It was a little girl...We just saw the sex when it happened. There was no heartbeat. And for my health they had to take it...take my baby out of me."
"Esme..." I whisper.
"I was in a state of deep depression and I thought about...committing suicide a couple of times but that was selfish thoughts. No one knows real pain until they loose something that was inside them...something living...something that depended on you...something that you loved..." She starts curling my hair. "so, that was when I got Edward's case...and then we adopted him. If it wasn't for that boy..." She sighs. "I don't know. I love him so much. And if I ever had a little girl, I would have wanted you, and I would have wanted you to marry someone like Edward." She says putting my hair up in a tight bun but letting some hair touch my neck also. She re-curls the curls touching my neck.
"Esme I..." Was all I could say before Rose and Alice came back in. I was going to say how much she
"See this?" She asks. The pin was a blue butterfly. "My mother and my grandmother and great grandmother wore this on their wedding day." She says putting it in my hair. She laces some blue ribbon in my hair. She puts some rouge and lipstick on my face. Some dark eyeshadow to pop my brown eyes out. Not literally... "Perfect, girls leave so we can slip the wedding dress on." Esme says. I pull the wedding dress up. Esme zips it.
"Are you sure you didn't just buy this?" I ask looking in a mirror. There were spaghetti straps holding the dress from falling but it looked like it was strapless. It fit perfectly and beautifully. Hugging my waist and then flowing out into a beautiful gown. It was all white. Esme hands me gloves. I put them on and they go up to my elbows. She hands me white and pink carnations.
"No, trust me that's my old gown." She says with a smile.
"It's beautiful, everything is." I say.
"Especially you." She whispers. We hear a knock.
"Everyone's arrived, you ready yet?" Carlisle asks. Oh wow.
"Already?" I breathe. Esme squeezes my hands.
"You'll do fine."She whispers. Esme was wearing something blue. Like my own mother would have. I hug her.
"Thank you Esme. For everything." I whisper. She opens the door for me. Carlisle smiles and bows.
"May I walk you down the isle Ms. Swan?" I smile at him.
"But of course." I say taking his arm. Esme hurries down to sit down. Alice and Rose are in front of me. I asked Rose to be my maid of honor. She had a black gown on. Alice, a red one. My pick. The had Jasper and Emmett by their side. We go down the stairs and walk down a hallway. And then another door opens. A green house? No it's only really bright. And it's full of people from my school. Angela who I grew to love. Jessica with Mike. People who I knew came to see me get married. Even if I hated them. The isle was already covered with rose petals that flew out and landed in my hair. I reached up to brush them off.
"Don't." Carlisle mumbles. "It makes the butterfly stand out more." He whispers smiling. "Take a deep breath..." I do. "And march." The wedding march was playing and Rose and Alice were already gone. We start walking. First I look at the ground. Hearing the awes and whispers of people. And then Edward looks back and widens his eyes. Then smiles. The best smile I ever saw him wear. I want to dart to him. After Carlisle gives me away, I hug Carlisle and I take Edward's hand.
EPOV
As soon as our eyes met I saw how beautiful she was. And my heart stopped. I thought I was going to die. But I realized, the time stopped and not my heart. I love you. Was the first thing that crossed my mind. And then very slowly they walked towards me. Carlisle gave her away and she took my hand. We said our I-dos. And then we kissed. All of our kisses flashed across my mind. The sad ones, passionate ones, loving ones, caring ones, relief, all the emotions came flooding back and I...I felt it all. Tears threatened my eyes. Joy. I felt the most joy I have ever felt in my life and I never wanted to let it go. Something sparked and stung between our lips and we just smiled at each other. We left and ran down the isle. The reception was beautiful but not as Bells. I just kept looking at her greeting all of the guests.
"May I have this dance Mrs. Cullen?" I ask her. She takes my hand.
"Every day." She says nodding. We dance slowly to something I gave the DJ. "My song." She whispers in my ear.
"You know I dreamed about you when I made this? That's why it's Bella's Lullaby." I say turning her. I pull her in closer.
"It's my favorite song ever." She whispers kissing me.
"Bella, I never want to let you go. Never leave me."
"Never." She whispers promising. The song ends and she is asked to throw the bouquet. Alice catches it and looks directly at Jasper. Who only blushes and kisses her. I guess this is her engagement promise.
We leave. I know where we are going. She doesn't, and keeps asking me. "Where are you going?" She asks.
"A Island." I say going in a boat and picking her up and putting her in the boat as well. We float to Esme Island.
"It's really Esme Island?" Bells asks me her eyes shining.
"Yes, is that cool? It was Carlisle's wedding gift to Esme."
"How?" She asks.
"I don't know how he got the money but yes." I chuckle getting out and grabbing our luggage. I put it down as we enter the little cottage.
"This...bed..." She coughs and blushes. I blush as well.
"Yeah um...you can wash up...I'm going to go for a dip in the ocean." I say taking a deep shaky breath.
"O..o...okay." She mumbles as I leave. When I hear the shower go I UN-bluckle my belt and take off my shirt and pants. I debate whether I should take off...everything. I sigh and decide it's okay this would have happened anyways.
"I love you Bells." I whisper and jump in.
BPOV
I hear him jump in the water and I jump. I quickly wash my body and get out. I almost kill myself. I wrap my towel around me and look out the window. I see him floating and diving in the water. My cheeks go aflame. I see all of his clothes on the sand and look at myself in the mirror. "There's no need to be shy." I tell myself. "I love Edward. I love him. He loves me. All of me." I chant. "Okay!" I say and walk out slowly my knees shaking. I go in front of Edward and he lifts up his head from the water and looks to me eagerly. My cheeks go hotter.
"Do you not want me to look?" He asks turning.
"N-n-no! It's fine!" I say closing my eyes. He turns back and looks at me. I let go of the towel and feel it drop on the ground. I walk into the warm water and swim to Edward. I look up into his face.
"You shy?" He asks. "I saw your body before..."
"I-I...I know" I say "But..."
"Bells, I love you...don't be worried. I'll never leave you." He whispers and kisses my forehead. Then my cheek. And then my mouth. My scar that's still on my collarbone. And we went underwater and swam.
Then next morning I wake up on Edward's chest. He looks down at me and kisses my lips. We smile.
"How did we end up inside?" I whisper looking around. He chuckles.
"I don't know we just ended up here...on the...rose petals." He says lifting up some rose petals and pours them gently on me. "And...feathers." He chuckles again lifting a feather from my hair and looking at it. We both laugh. "We're covered with them." He says and stands up.
"Wanna help me get all of the feathers out of my hair?" I ask him going into the bathroom.
"Sure...why not?" He says starting the shower.
That week was the best week of my life. We came back and got our cottage. The next week my stomach started feeling queasy.
"We're out of food." Edward sighs. "I'll go get some." He says. "You'll be okay here?" He says kissing my forehead.
"I'll be fine. Go." I say smiling.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I can okay?" He says.
"Okay!" I say smiling. He leaves. I get up from the bed and go into the bathroom to puke. And then I see the weirdest thing. On top of the toilet that I was puking in was a little pregnancy test. "Would I?" I whisper. I start counting months in my head. "Oh...my...God." I whisper and take the pregnancy test in my hand. I use it and wait for the test results. I pick it up after five minutes. "Positive."
A day later...
"Hey Bells, what are you doing out of bed?" Edward asks.
"Edward...sit down." I say quietly. Edward puts down the groceries and sits on the couch in front of me.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"In a minute there will be a call from Carlisle or a visit." I say looking at him straight in the eyes.
"Why? Is something wrong? Bells, you've been sick for almost a week now, what's going on?" He asks.
"I took a test and I had to double check with Carlisle if it was true. Esme drove me there and drove me home. Rose and Alice know all about it and will demand a answer next time we go to visit your parents."
"What the hell I going on Bells?" He asks.
"I might be pregnant Edward." I say. He stops and just stares at me. Stops breathing. And then the telephone rings. Edward didn't move so I picked it up. "Carlisle?"
"Bella, put me on speaker." He says. I do.
"Go." I yell to the phone.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, I am proud to tell you Bella is indeed pregnant." I stop breathing and then laugh. Tears start flowing. Edward does not say anything.
"Edward...say something."
"You're...pregnant?" He whispers. "With my child?"
"Yes." I say smiling. He grabs my wrist and pulls me in.
"We're gonna have a baby." He says. "My little Baby girl. A little Bell."
"Edward." I whisper. "It might be a baby boy."
"No," He says looking at me. "It'll be a girl as gorgeous as you." He says kissing me.
Eight Months Later.
"Let's take a look...oh look at that, you baby is perfectly healthy and happy!" The doctor says.
"My stomach hurts." I groan.
"It might be it kicking." She says. "Get dressed and sleep it off." I do get dressed and I start walking in the lobby.
"Ready to go home?" Edward asks taking my hand. I pat my belly.
"I guess." I say. And then a sharp pain goes straight through my insides. It hurts. My God, it hurts. I collapse.
"Bells! What's wrong? Someone help!" Edward yells.
"You're going into labor Mrs. Swan." The doctor says.
"But...it's due on January 15th, this is...December 15th!" I cry.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience...but it's gonna be born today. And you're going to need a c section." He sighs. "The baby is upside down and the cord is wrapped around her neck."
"Her?" I ask.
"We were saving the sex thing until she gave birth." Edward mumbles.
"Oh, sorry...yes your baby is a girl. I'll go prep for you and will be back in a hour." I got shot with some kind of needle in my back and then they put me to sleep. That's all I remember.
Epov
Will she be okay? Will she be okay? Will both of my girls be okay? This is the question that haunts me. I pace all around the floor of the waiting room. Rose sitting down next to Emmett. She was told she could never bare children. Alice and Jasper sitting across the room from Rose and Emmett, holding hands tightly. Alice's big engagement ring glistening under the light. Esme and Carlisle in the corner by themselves holding hands and biting their lips. I realized something. Everyone of us is here, at different stages of the relationship, together. For Bells. And yet, none of us are sitting together. Huddling as one.
"Guys, come on...we don't sulk in corners...we are all here let's act like family!" Emmett says and bringing his chair in the middle of the room. Rose follows. Then Alice and Esme...lastly the two boys Jasper and Emmett. My brothers. I sit down next to Carlisle and Emmett. We all hold hands.
"Edward Cullen?" A nurse asks.
"Yes?" We all say together.
"Would you like to see your baby and wife?" The nurse asks. I stand up.
"They're okay?"
"They are both perfectly healthy." She says leading me to Bella's room. Bells was still asleep. Our little girl was next to her in a little crib. My heart felt warm as I picked her up. She was crying.
"Sh...sh...Daddy's here..." I say rocking her back and fourth. She instantly stopped crying. She started making sounds and wiggling in my arms. I look at her eyes, she has my eyes. And my hair. "You have your mommy's curls and nose don't you?" I ask her. She just looks at me and smiles. "My little Bell." I whisper and kiss her forehead.
"Edward? Where's Renesmee?" She asks waking up.
"Right here...and the name?"
"Our mother's names...and the middle name is Carly both of our father's names put together." She says reaching for our baby girl.
"Carly sounds better for a first name."
"No, think of a nickname." She says with a smile holding our baby. The wind whispers in my ear: Nessie.
"Nessie." I say proudly.
"Like the monster?" She says looking at me like she'll kill me.
"First thing you got to name our child I get to pick her nickname." I say. She giggles.
"Daddy's very silly." Bells says to my Little Bell.
BPOV
"Pull back the curtains for me Edward...it's so dark I can't see our baby girl's face all the way." I whisper. She was asleep. Edward does.
"Woah!" He says.
"What?" I ask in alarm pulling Renesmee closer.
"There's a rainbow! It's December!" Edward says. I smile.
"That's our baby's gift Edward. Jake sent her a rainbow." I whisper. I look and see the most glorious rainbow ever, in the snow.
Epilogue.
~In a blink of an eye time goes by. So don't blink.~-Elizabeth
BPOV
It happened fast. Our child growing up. "I can't believe it's her 17th birthday." I whisper putting on 17 candles.
"I remember when Ness was our Little Bell." Edward says.
"She's still our little Bell just a little bigger." I chuckle. We hear the door ring. We go to answer it. "What's wrong Emmett?" I ask.
"Nessie is can't come home, there's a nasty storm that she won't be able to go through until tomorrow." He says.
~and so the sequel begins! All from Nessie's and possibly from her suitors point of view. What should be his name? I know his last name not the first though. Please give me suggestions.~
