Chapter Twenty-Five "My Loving Wife'
Alice had planned a small ceremony for her family and few friends of the family. She loved the fact that she was given her sister's complete trust over the wedding. No one had ever done that before. It made her feel happy. All Bella cared about was picking out her own dress. Edward had gone hunting with the boys and Carisle that weekend. They called it 'Boys Weekend Out.' The girls just stayed in making sure everything was set for the wedding. A knock came at the door.
"Come on," Esme said sitting at the table.
Just then Tanya, Carmen, Eleazar, Kate, Irina and Garrett walked into the room. "Hello all," Tanya said with a smile on her face.
"Hello dears," Esme said with a smile.
"Great," Alice said looking over at the blonde. "You are here," she said.
"I was invited," Tanya said in a low voice.
"No they were invited," Rosalie said glaring at her. "We never thought you would actually come," she said crossing her arms.
"Well someone has to bring Edward to his senses," Tanya said with a smirk on her face. Bella walked down the stairs softly not being heard.
"Senses about what?" Bella asked causing her to look up.
"Oh the blushing bride," Kate said with a smile. "Ignore my sister," she said taking Bella's hand. "She doesn't know her place," she said glaring back at her.
"My place," Tanya said growling at her.
"It's fine," Bella said. "I know Edward loves me," she said. "She is nothing to worry about," she said before walking over to Esme. "I am going to go out for a minute," she said.
"I will come with you," Rosalie said following after her.
"What does she mean she has nothing to worry about?" Tanya asked snicker. "Edward would have come to me sooner if he could have handles a real woman," she said messing with her hair.
"Please," Alice said rolling her eyes. "Edward wouldn't be with you even if she wasn't here," she said glaring at her. "He rejected you get over it," she said glaring at him.
"Watch your mouth Pixie," Tanya said stepping to her.
"Enough," Esme said. "I will not have this in my house," she said glaring at her. "Keep your sister under control Kate," she said glaring at her. "She will not take place over my daughter," she said.
"I understand," Kate said grabbing Tanya by the arm.
Rosalie threw a branch across the field and growled out. "Geez," Bella said. "Shouldn't I be angry with her," she said with a smirk.
"You should," Rosalie said. "You should rip her apart," she said.
"Why?" Bella asked. "I have nothing to fear," she said. "Come tomorrow Edward will be my husband and he will love me not her," she said causing her to sigh.
"Can I hit her?" Rosalie asked causing her to laugh.
"If Esme will allow it," Bella said. "But before or after the wedding not during," she said.
"Fine," Rosalie said rolling her eyes. "Bella," she said.
"Yes?" Bella asked looking over at her.
"I am glad you are my sister," Rosalie said with a smile on her face.
"Hey guys," Alice said jumping down for a tree. "Don't leave me out,' she said with a smile. They all went for a run before going back to the house to their guest.
That morning Bella walked into the bedroom she now shared with Edward. They had bought a large bed and everything. Edward was standing right there by his music. "Hello love," he said.
"Edward!!" Bella said running and jumping into his arms. "I missed you," she said wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him close.
"I missed you as well my love," Edward said.
"Did you have fun?" Bella asked causing him to smile.
"Loads," Edward said. "But it would have been much better with you there," he said kissing her softly. "I heard Alice almost got into with Tanya and that you gave Rose permission to hit her," she said.
"Not during the wedding though," Bella said causing him to laugh and set her down.
"You know I have never had feelings for Tanya," Edward said. "I never so much as kissed her,' he said causing her to smile.
"I know I have nothing to be worried about," Bella said. "But she doesn't like me," she said.
"That is because you are far more beautiful than her," Edward said causing her to smile.
"I doubt it," a voice said causing Bella to growl.
"Lay off Tanya," Edward said placing his hand on Bella's lower back.
"Come on Edward," Tanya said. "We both know you are going to get bored of her soon," she said glaring at her and Bella clenched her fist.
"I need to get dressed," Bella said letting him deal with her. She went into the closet to pick out some clothes while Edward turned back to Tanya.
"The only one I got bored with was you," Edward said. "I love Bella she makes my life complete and that is the way its going to be," he said as she walked over to him.
"Care to challenge that," Tanya said placing her hand on his cheek. She went to kiss him and then was sent flying into the wall.
"Bella," Edward said with his eyes widen as she had Tanya pinned by the throat.
"Keep your hands off my man," Bella said growling at her. Everyone ran up the stairs and stood in completely shock. "I have taken this long enough," she said. "You touch him again and I will rip you apart understand," she said slamming her head against the wall.
Edward stood back smiling with pride at the woman he loved. The Denali Clan didn't say a word because they knew Tanya deserved it. "I am only leaving because at the moment you are stronger then I am but when you begin to weaken I will be back," she said growling.
Bella slammed Tanya's head into the wall again. 'I'll be waiting." She let her go and then Tanya went running out of the house.
"We apologize," Carmen said coming over to her.
"Yes," Kate said. "If you want us to leave we understand,' she said.
"No," Bella said. "I like you just not her," she said. "You are more then welcome to stay for the wedding and anything after," she said with a smile.
"Thank you," Kate said. "And we will deal with Tanya later," she said gripping her hand.
"I'll get the wall plaster," Emmett said looking at the hole in the wall. Edward kissed Bella on the lips and everyone left the room to get back to life.
That next morning it was time for the wedding. Bella couldn't have been happier. Just a year goes she was just a hooker. Now she was a vampire and about to be a wife. Alice and Rosalie had been working on her hair all day. As Esme made last minute adjustments on her dress.
Edward was at the tailors getting his tux fitted along with all the other men. He couldn't have been more joyful then he was that day. He was about to be a husband to the woman he loved.
"Now I clean up good," Emmett said looking at himself.
"Shut up Emmett," Jasper said rolling his eyes at him.
"Come on boys," Carisle said. "Alice will be very angry if we are late," he said looking down at his watch.
"Don't want that," Emmett said. "Or Jasper will be in the dog house," he said laughing.
"Emmett," Jasper said growling at him worry about that very thing. They all went back to the house and the place was set up.
"Hey sis," Emmett said walking into the room. "The alter is completely done," he said.
"Thank you so much," Bella said hugging him and smiling.
"Wow," Emmett said looking down at her. "You look beautiful," he said.
"Oh no Em," Alice said coming out of the bathroom. "Now Edward is going to be able to see what she looks like," she said in a panic.
"Its fine Alice," Bella said. "I don't care," she said with a smile. "All that matters is that I am marry your brother today," she said grabbing her hands.
"Fine," Alice said with a smile. "Get the guys lined up," she said firmly.
Edward was standing at the alter with his brother as his side. Carisle was going to be resiting the vows not only was he a doctor but he was a certified priest as well. Ironic considering his kind was evil. The music began to play. The Denali clan minus Tanya stood waiting as Rose, Esme, and Alice came down
"You look lovely," Carisle said smiling to his wife.
"Thank you," Esme said. "And you look very handsome," she said.
"Shhh," Alice said to both of them. "She is coming," she said with a smile. Edward knew that if he had a heart it would be stopped when he saw her.
Bella had a long white strapless gown that trailed some feet behind her. There was beautiful beaded sequence done by Esme herself. Then a veil hung half way down her back being held by a tiny crown.
"Hi," Bella said once she got to her husband to be.
"Hello my love," Edward said stroking the side of her face.
"Lets begin," Carisle said opening the bible.
Edward and Bella linked hands never letting go as he sighted the vows to them. Once they were pronoucned husband and wife they spent the day opening gifts then packing.
Now it was off to Isle Esme.
