Told you it would take me awhile..but I'm here. Go me. Lol. This chapter's just kinda...very... random. It's an "ech" chapter to me but one none the less... sorry. :(

I want to say thanks to all my reviewers and sorry that, for this chapter, I am not individually announcing your awesomeness. Lol. So..in all fairness.. Here's to EVERYONE: Your AWESOME!!

Also, I am on a MUSE high. I swear... everyday it's, "Hysteria", "New Born (M/V)", and "Supermassive Black Hole." I even changed my profile on MySpace to somewhat revolve around it. AGH! Lol. Just a little random fact... :D

Without further ado... Enjoy... and if you want, review. If you don't, that's ok too. :PPP

Edward watched Bella sleep with loving eyes. She was beautiful when she was at peace, a soft look covering her face, content. He couldn't wait to come back home to her before. He was... what did people call it?

Whipped. Edward chuckled at the thought. As amusing as the word was, it was true none the less. He was madly and deeply in love with the woman lying next to him and could not wait to take her hand in marriage. To let the world know that she was his... forever.

He marveled at the word, liking it perhaps a little more than he should. His feelings for Bella were almost obsessive. Not the dominant kind, but the obsessive kind where all his thoughts somehow revolved around her; his decisions... his life.

Bella stirred in her sleep, mumbling some before turning over so that she was lying on her stomach. Edward stared at her exposed neck for a moment. The neck that would be punctured by his teeth as well as other places.

He sighed in frustration, running his hand through his hair. Edward was still slightly opposed to changing Bella. Though, with her recent actions, denying her became very difficult and being able to be with Bella forever...

His reasoning to keeping Bella human was slowly drifting each day. Instead, he felt relief. Relief of finally not having to worry about killing Bella when she was changed. Not having to pull away from her lips when they kissed so Bella could take those unnecessary breaths... who needed to breathe anyway?

Anxious though also. Every passing moment Edward felt as though he was going to spring from the ground; a bomb waiting to explode. Because, as every passing moment went by, that meant the wedding was coming near. And as soon as the wedding came, so did the death of Bella Swan as a human. It was almost depressing in a way... but so much to get in return.

"Edward." Bella moaned in her sleep. Not in an arousing way but in an anxious way. She sounded impatient, as if she knew exactly what Edward was thinking. He wouldn't be surprised if she did, their bond was already so strong.

Edward smiled before leaning down and kissed her on the head. "Soon Bella." He whispered in her hair. "You and I forever very soon."

Bella sighed in content, snuggling deeper into the bed. Edward traced the outlines of her face as she slept, again marveling at such beauty.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Another two weeks passed. Alice sent out the invitations, alerting, and possibly giving Forks a heart attack, of Edward and Bella's wedding. She had managed to have the girls keep, with the exception of Bella, a secret. Even Renee. Alice didn't want Edward hearing of certain 'plans' they had sorted for Bella on a certain night.

She had bought Bella's wedding dress but didn't want her to see it till that night she and the women had planned. It was going to amazing. Alice had already seen it in a vision and, if Edward had not been a mind reader, she would've played it over in her head repeatedly. Let's just say that night they had planned for Bella was going to be spectacular.

Edward had a night planned out too with the guys... he just didn't know it. And Emmett and Jasper made sure he wouldn't find out.

Alice giggle, exuberant. This is going to be so much fun!

"What is?" Edward asked, joining her at the kitchen table.

Alice frowned. Stay out of my head.

Edward laughed. "Trust me, I'm trying."

Alice narrowed her eyes until she was sure Edward hadn't heard anything else. "So... feel lonesome?"

Edward sighed and nodded. "I miss her already and it's only been fifteen minutes. Pathetic, huh?"

"A little." Alice laughed jokingly. She had sent Bella out with Renee and Phil, knowing that they hadn't had that much time to visit with each other.

"What do you think they're doing?"

"Probably talking 'bout you sex life."

Edward's eyes widened. "What?? Why?"

Alice talked calmly, as if this were an everyday topic. "She's a mother, Edward, and now that Renee has a new man in her life, she wants him to apart of Bella's as much as possible. Her daughter's about to get married and considering couples nowadays, they apparently live in 'sin.'"

"Why did you quote?"

"Sin is overrated."

Edward snorted at his sister. "So are vampires." He sighed and looked down at the table.

"You're still worried about changing her aren't you?" Alice looked at Edward, setting down the wedding catalog she had been looking at.

Edward looked up, almost with pleading eyes. "I love Bella and would do anything to please her, Alice."

She nodded, sitting back in her chair as she stared at her brother.

Edward continued. "But- of all things, as much as I want it too, this is the hardest."

"Edward, I've seen it all played out in my head. Everything is going to be ok. You two will be one of the happiest couples."

He shook his head stubbornly. "As much as I care, it's not the turnout I'm worried about."

Alice raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Edward slumped in his seat a little. "It's the process, Alice. I'm not worried about going to far and drinking her blood-" He grimaced at the thought. "What if she decides halfway through that she doesn't want to continue? But it's too late? What if the only way she wants to be changed is by making love but I end up losing control, lost in the lust?"

Alice stared at him for a moment. "You've really thought of every way, huh?"

Edward nodded. "I can't lose her."

"You're not going to. I know for a fact that everything will turn out ok." Edward still looked doubtful. "Do you question me?" Alice raised an eyebrow, daring him to object to her visions.

He shook his head and looked out the window. "I question myself." He answered softly. "I do not deserve an angel and yet God, let it be known if there is one, cast one upon me. Gave me the one precious gift that I did not think I could have and yet, now that I do, I don't know how to be of worth to her."

"Bella loves you to death, Edward." He chuckled lightly at Alice's use of words. She ignored him and continued. "I'm not so sure about there being a God either but I'm willing to believe. And I believe that Bella was sent to you because you need her just as she needs you. Two puzzles fit together. You need to stop punishing yourself, Edward. You can't dwell on the past. Focus on the present and the living."

"Not the future?"

Alice smiled. "That's my job."

Edward smiled too, feeling better. He did not have the strength to doubt Alice and did not want to. Her insights were much more promising than his thoughts before. Instead, he would focus on the present and let things fall where they may... with Bella.

"How awkward do you think Bella feels with Renee and Phil if their discussing our sex life?" Edward changed the subject.

Alice scoffed, sensing a light atmosphere now. "As if you had one."

Edward crossed his arms. "What makes you think that?"

"You're prude." Edward was about to object but Alice continued. "Besides, we would've heard you." She paused, teasing Edward now. "Unless you're just that bad and Bella's not responsive to your touch."

Edward growled. "We're waiting until our wedding night."

Alice laughed, getting up from the table. "Well hurry up. You wouldn't believe how greedy Jasper's been. He's so 'up' all the time, if you know what I mean. Although, due to your insane lustful feelings, Jasper and I have found many comfortable, new sexual posi–"

"Agh! Lalalalala." Edward covered his ears and hummed in his head as well. "I don't want to know, thank you."

"No, no, no." Alice was enjoying torturing Edward like this. "Thank you. Spicing up our sex life in the kinkiest ways–"

Edward quickly left the kitchen, heading to the stairs instead. "Baseball!" He yelled.

Jasper and Emmett were down in a second, Rosalie following lazily behind.

"I need to get my mind off of some things."

Jasper stared at Alice meaningfully. He knew Edward knew what was happening now so why did he have to hide it?

Emmett stared at him and laughed. "You. Ew." He pointed at Jasper then turned to look at Rosalie with the same look.

Edward sighed in annoyance, heading out to his car. Baseball was definitely out of the plan now. "I'm going to go see Esme and Carlisle at the hospital."

Nobody replied, they were already making their way up to their separate rooms. "The most sexual beings I have ever met." Edward muttered, making his way to the door.

"PRUDE!" Emmett and Alice yelled at him from their own rooms as he shut the door. Edward just chuckled in response.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Bella stared at her mother warily as they at their food at the Lodge. So far no embarrassing topics had been brought up but she knew it was only a matter of time. Her mother had a one track mind after all. What was even worse was that Phil would be present in this conversation.

"My Bella's getting married." Renee chewed her fry with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Bella, acting on reflex, rubbed her thumb over her ring. "I am."

"Do you know where you're going to have your honeymoon?"

"Apparently it's a surprise."

"How sweet." Renee picked up her glass. "Hasn't been giving you any implications on where you might be going? Perhaps while you were eating breakfast? During the night while you're in bed–"

Oh God. And finally it starts... Phil coughed on his sandwich, finally catching on to what subject was going to be discussed.

Bella blushed but answered, running her fork through her salad. "We don't really discuss things while we're in bed."

"Oh?" Renee raised an eyebrow.

Bella dropped her fork in realization to what she had just said. It could've been taken two ways and of course, her mother had automatically picked the wrong one. "I mean... that we're normally sleeping."

"Together?"

Good Lord. No matter what I say it's going to be misinterpreted. "We sleep in the same bed." Bella answered slowly, choosing her words with care.

Phil had become animatedly interested in his meal now, focusing on it more than a normal person would.

"Sleep?"

Bella was becoming a little frustrated now. What did it matter? "Yes, Mom. We sleep. It's something people do at night." Except for Edward.

"Nothing else?"

"Spanish Inquisition out of your system? All we do is sleep, Mom. That I can say truthfully. However, it is my life and even if I had "slept" with Edward, would it have mattered? We both love each other and are getting married."

Renee played innocent, setting her napkin on the table. "I was just curious to see if you had any plans."

Bella narrowed her eyes at her mother but let it drop. They finished their food quickly after that, laughing and talking of other more comfortable things.

"This is the last month, Bella." Renee commented randomly as they drove back to the hotel. She wanted to go back to Port Angeles with Phil to do some more shopping before they left.

Bella nodded, not at all nervous but knowing that it would sink in later. After all, she had horrible reflexes.

They were quiet on the way to the hotel. Bella dropped them off, waving goodbye before leaving to reunite with the Cullens.

She turned on the radio, "This Unavoidable Thing Between Us" by Evermore coming on. Bella thought to herself, not sure how to feel. Soon she would be leaving her life as a human. Something she had always wanted since she met Edward but hadn't really thought of the outcome of the action.

Her mother... had Phil. She would be ok. Angela and Ben were set. Charlie... Charlie. Bella sighed in frustration, tightening her grip on the wheel. He had no one. No one but Billy.

Bella's heart squeezed lightly at the thought of him. It only brought back memories of Jacob which ignited painful feelings; feelings she didn't want to deal with again. But at least he has someone. She thought quickly to herself, having to change her direction of thought before she lost focus.

Edward's face popped into her mind, making Bella smile. Even when he wasn't there, he somehow managed to make her feel better. Bella focused on the wedding, sensing that something should be done before it but not yet grasping what...

She knew she was missing something. Something important that happened before weddings took place and yet, she couldn't think of what it was at the moment. All the sudden the remembrance of a party being mentioned in passing came back to Bella. Alice...Rosalie...My mother...party...before wedding...

And then it clicked.

Bachelorettes party.

Bella's eyes widened at the thought and almost slammed on the brakes. No. She thought. They wouldn't do that to me. She feared she may be going slightly in denial. Perhaps they forgot about it...or maybe it's something completely different. Bella tried to reassure herself.

Then she thought of Emmett and Jasper talking about a party last week. It held no concern for her so Bella had just thought to ignore it. Emmett smiling deviously... Jasper looking much too calm and quieting at once when he saw her... Bella smacked herself for being so naive. But then that meant... Hell. No.

Edward.

Bachelor party.

Overall, not very happy with this chapter. Some parts I found ok but other than that, I feel I kind of dragged it out. To be honest, I'm just focused on these "parties" and the wedding. Don't worry, you still got chapters coming but I'm just saying, I can't hold back sex forever. Edward and Bella will HAVE to happen soon... or I may just spontaneously combust for Bella myself. Lol.

I will try to have another chapter up soon. Not only to I have the motivation to do so, but the work load's lightening some. :)
