Chapter twenty five. Make more babies.
Bella's POV
I'd been dreading going back to LA, so obviously the time to go was fast approaching. I was still sore and aching all over from games day, which did not help to improve my mood. I had to admit it really had been a wonderful day, we had so much fun, and I don't ever remember laughing so much, but I was paying for it now. I knew though that there was something important that I needed to do before going to LA... I needed to talk to Angela, which is why I was so moody. I don't know how many times I picked up my cell and stared at it, seriously it was actually laughing at me. Okay, I knew I was being a coward, I just needed to grow a pair as Emm would say.
"Just do it Bella, it won't be that bad, and I'm sure she will be happy to hear from you." Edward said from where he lay on the bed with Alex sleeping on his chest. "Don't look at me like that."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Like I'm chocolate cake." He said with a smirk.
I snorted. "Chocolate cake is pretty amazing... but you..." I said licking my lips suggestively.
"Nice try beautiful, make the call." He said.
"Do you have any idea how sexy you are? Or how hot you look with our daughter sleeping on you?" I asked with a sigh of longing.
His smirk intensified. "Make the call and I'll put her in her bed and make love to you for a few hours. How does that sound?" He asked.
"Almost perfect." I admitted.
"Only almost?"
"Everything apart from the call part sounded good to me."
"Bella, as much as I hate anyone who wants to take your love from me, I can't hold that against her. You know you will feel better about going to LA if you just talk to her first." He said getting up and kissing my forehead. "We'll leave you to it, so you're not distracted by my hotness." He said grinning and left the room.
He was right of course... I was distracted by his hotness, always. Unfortunately he was also right about the phone call. I scrolled through the numbers in my cell and looked down at the number that Kate had given me, I hit call, and held my breath.
"K and G's." The deep male voice said on the other end of the phone.
"Hey Garrett." I said unsteadily.
"Bella Marie, is that you?" He asked instantly and I heard a squeal of a female voice near him.
"Give it to me, give it to me..." The female voice I knew cried. "GIVE ME THE DAMN PHONE!" I heard, as the voice turned almost demonic.
"Yeah hey." I said.
Garrett laughed. "Hey sweetie, there's a scary lady here that wants to talk to you."
I blew out an unsteady breath. "Okay." I said knowing that it was Angela that I had heard.
"Hello? Marie? I mean Bella, is it really you?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, hi Angie, sorry it's taken me so long to call." I said.
"Oh my god, it's so good to hear your voice, and I have missed you so much you wouldn't believe it. Kate says that you might make it for the re-opening, please tell me you are coming, pleeeease." She begged.
"I have to come down to LA for the final fitting of my dress so I'm trying to schedule it to coincide with the re-opening." I told her.
"So it's true then... you are getting married?" She asked, trying to hide her bitterness from her voice but not quite managing it.
"Yes Angela, of course it's true." I said, as confidently as I could.
"You really love him, don't you." She said rather than asked, then she sighed.
"More than anything, with the exception of Alexandria, I could never love anyone as much as I love him." I said.
She sighed again. "He's a very lucky guy." She said.
"That's what he says." I admitted, "but believe me, I'm the lucky one."
She laughed. "So will he be coming with you to the re-opening? I need to be sure his intentions are pure before he can marry my best friend." She said, trying to lighten the mood, I think.
"Honestly, he won't let me out of his sight." I said, looking across the hall into Alex's room where Edward was sitting in the rocker watching me.
"Never." He mouthed.
"I don't blame him for that, and I really would like to meet him, Bella, and I can't wait to see Alexandria. She looks so gorgeous in the photo's you sent, it's weird, after talking to her in your belly for months I feel like I know her already." She said.
"The whole family will be there Angela, we wouldn't miss it." I said turning my gaze away from Edward as the guilt of him not being the one to hold me whilst I was pregnant plagued me yet again.
"You have to come early, I want to have the chance to meet you all and talk before we open, Bella please say you will." She begged.
"I'll try." I said.
"Kate's just walked in, she wants to speak you... Can't wait to see you! Love you honey." Angela said before handing the phone to Kate.
"Sweetheart, is it really you?" Kate asked.
"Yes Kate, it's me, I just wanted to let you know that I was going to try and make it to the re-opening at the end of the week, in case my letter doesn't reach you in time."
"Oh Bella, that is wonderful news, you'll come early though, I want to get my hands on the gorgeous baby." She said happily.
"I'll do my best." I said smiling in response. "I'll give you a call, though I'm sure you will all be much too busy that day anyway." I pointed out.
"Bella, honey, we will always make time for you." She said ardently.
"I'll see you Friday." I said.
"Can't wait sweetheart." She said and I ended the call. That was emotionally draining enough for one day.
I dropped my cell on the bed and immediately felt Edwards arms around me, turning me in his arms and pulling me close. He kissed the top of my head. "Okay?" He asked.
"I am now." I said reaching up to put my arms around his neck and pulling his face down so that I could kiss him. "Well the call is done with." I whispered against his lips.
"Yes it is."
"Didn't you promise to make love to me..." I didn't get to finish before he lifted me up and crawled on to the bed with me wrapped around him.

Because there were ten of us, Dad booked a taxi bus to take us all to Seatac, along with all the luggage. We all only had small weekend bags but obviously Izzie and Alex had more baggage. Edward stood holding me, his arm wrapped tightly around me, the other hand gripping Alex's baby carrier. I could hear the hush whispers of people around us, but ignored them, my face buried into Edward's t-shirt, I breathed in the scent of him to calm myself. I wasn't a fan of flying let alone a fan of going to a dress fitting, that on top of the restaurant re-opening had me more than a little anxious. Edward rubbed his hand up and down my back to calm me, his face in my hair, but suddenly he stiffened, and growled. God... it was such a turn on when he did that.
I looked up to see him glaring at something or someone behind me, I turned and followed his gaze. Two grey haired and overly make up encrusted women where talking in not so hushed voices and staring straight at us. I caught some of the things they were saying, as my anxious brain caught up with them. Words like, 'bane of the country, irresponsible' and 'have they never heard of birth control?' It didn't take much for me to realize they were talking about Edward and I, the more they talked the less I could believe it. I was almost at the point when I was going to ask them if they'd preferred it if he'd just up and left when he found out I was pregnant when they added something else. "Bad parenting, it's all down to bad parenting."
Edward and I had barely uttered WTF, when Dad stepped forward.
"Ladies." He said picking up each of their gloved hands and kissing them. "Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dr Smith, I am Chief surgeon of a local general hospital and CEO of my domain dot net." He said with a wink as both women became flustered. "I do hope you are both well?" He asked as they both swooned over the handsome doctor. "In future please refrain from verbally attacking my children, my wife and myself for our parenting skills, and please do have a good flight."He said, his voice still seductive until the end.
Then he turned his back and walked away, he pulled Mom into his arms and kissed her movie style, bending her back until her hair almost touched the floor. "Come on sweetheart, lets go to the bathroom and make more babies." He said loud enough for everyone to hear. The two women scoffed and walked away, as the rest of us laughed our asses off.
~0~
I'd only left Edward about half an hour ago, but I missed him already, worse still I missed Alexandria. I stared at Mom across the room as I walked to the platform in my dress, my anxiety no less than it had been when we left Seattle.
"We won't be that long, and you will be back with her soon." Mom said getting up and rubbing my arm, she knew exactly what my problem was. "If there was anything wrong Edward would have called, so she must be fine." She assured me, I was having visions of the maid coming to the room and kidnapping her. "And you look absolutely beautiful, this dress is perfect for you." She looked up as Alice and Rose joined me on the platform. "My three stunning girls all grown up." She said pulling her handkerchief from her sleeve to dab her eyes. "I'm so proud of you all." She said, we all wrapped our arms around her, tears flowing from all of us. Alice and Rose were further away as their dresses were Cinderella style with lots of puffy layers under the skirt. Mine was the opposite, straight skirt with absolutely no puff.
My dress was checked, no more altering required, which was a relief, although that meant I hadn't lost any weight in the last four weeks, since Alice sent in all my measurements. I was almost depressed at the thought, but at the very least we were taking the dresses away with us today. They would be dropped off for steam cleaning again in Seattle on the way home, then delivered by Wednesday. Well I was happy now that was over, we just had the restaurant to go to tonight and we would be flying back home tomorrow morning.
Back at the hotel I ran to the room, Edward was waiting for me, opening the door as I struggled to get the key card in the door fast enough. I had tears in my eyes, and was almost hyperventilating in panic I needed to see them.
"Bella?" Edward said panicked when he saw my face. "Baby, what's wrong?" He asked, as he wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him tightly for a moment before I pushed away from him and ran to the crib where Alexandria was sleeping peacefully. "Baby what's wrong?" He asked as I ran my fingers across her cheek, my body relaxing in deep relief.
"I'm sorry." I said turning to him and resting my head on his chest, his arms encircled me, pulling me tight against him. "I missed you both so much, and it actually hurt to be apart from you both. I-I just imagined all kinds of awful things happening to her. It made me feel sick with worry, I just can't be that far from either of you." I admitted defeated and pathetic. "I'm pathetic..."
"No baby you are not pathetic, that's how I feel the moment you leave a room without me." Edward said lifting my chin. "I need you both with me or I can't even breathe." He said kissing me.
I reached up on my tiptoes to kiss his lips. "I love you." I said against his lips.
"I love you too, so much so that in just eight days I will be making you my wife, then you're stuck with me forever." He said smiling.
"No... not making, I'm pretty sure I'm doing it with my own free will, although loving you is a little like breathing oxygen, if I tried no to, I'd just die." I admitted.
"Exactly, so don't ever try not to." He said then he kissed me.
~0~
"Kate called whilst you were in the shower, she has invited us all over for lunch at the restaurant." Edward said as I walked out of the bathroom. "I've spoken to the others, and we're all happy to go... if you are?" he put it as a question.
I swallowed. "I guess so."
"I know how nervous you are Bella, but honestly, I want to meet them all so I can thank them personally for taking such good care of you. If I even think about what might have happened to you if Angela hadn't sat beside you that day." He said his brows furrowed, and it was his turn to swallow hard. "I can't even think..." He said as I wrapped my arms around him.
"It's okay Edward, I understand how you feel." I said reaching up to caress his face.
"I get the love thing with Angela, but you seem so hesitant about going, why?" He asked, placing his hand over mine on his cheek.
"I-I worry about how it will feel being back there, the last time I was there... I thought I was going to die, that Alex..." I said unable to finish that sentence, Edward's face was now sorrowful. "I was so miserable there, I missed you so much, Edward, I, it was the very worst time in my life." I said sadly.
"Oh baby." He said pulling me into his arms, hugging me tight as he nuzzled into my neck. "Alex and I will be with you the entire time, we won't leave your side, I swear, we will make new, happy memories to replace those bad ones." He said against the skin on my neck, making me shiver as his breath washed over my still slightly damp skin. He pulled away enough to look into my eyes. "Bella, nothing is going to happen to you or Alexandria, nothing that you don't want to happen, I won't allow it. I'm going to be with you both, protect you both for the rest of our lives." He assured me, leaning down to capture my lips with his.
Just as our kiss was becoming more needy there was a knock on the door.
"Come on you two, the car will be here soon to take us to the restaurant." Jasper call through the door.
"Your brother could get a job as a professional cock blocker you know." Edward said before lifting me from the floor and rubbing said cock against me, as I wrapped myself around him.
"Now, you two." Jaz added with another knock on the door.
~0~
Edward unbuckled Alex's carrier and got out of the car, then reached back in for my hand. He threaded our fingers together and tugged me to get out of the car. I looked up at the new signage, the place did look quite different, which was a relief, then the doors opened.
"Oh my god!" Kate squealed grabbing hold of me and hugging me tightly, I hugged her back with one arm, refusing to let go of Edward. He squeezed my hand in reassurance, rubbing my skin with his thumb. "You look amazing." She said holding me at arms length. Then she looked at Edward and her jaw dropped. I couldn't help it, a huge smile spread across my face as Kate stared open-mouthed at my gorgeous fiancée, that's right honey admire the precious.
"Hi." He said to her, his sexy smirk at 100% wattage, rendering poor Kate into a drooling pile of goo, yes he still has that effect on me too.
"Er... H-hi." She stuttered. She turned to me, her eyes glazed. "How did you ever manage to leave this guy?" She asked thoroughly perplexed.
"Everyone, this is Kate." I said, as she pulled herself together and looked at everyone, and they said their hello's and introduced themselves.
Then Kate saw Alex in her carrier in Edward's hand. "Oh my word, she is gorgeous... Gimme." She said reaching excitedly for Alex. Then we all followed her inside.
Now with his hands free Edward wrapped both arms around me and walked behind me, where I was immediately ripped away from him by Caius, then Garrett, then Marcus and almost all the other staff. I reached for Edwards hand as Angela came running around the bar, tears running down her face as she practically tackled me to the floor. She hugged me fiercely for a moment, I returned the hug, I had missed her, then she relinquished me and Edward helped me up.
"Wow, you are quite different from how I remember," she said to Edward, "...and damn girl." She said turning to me. "I'm not into guys, and even I'm attracted." She said joking and winked at me.
"God, I've missed you." I admitted, and she hugged me again, I managed to stay upright this time.
"Not as much as I've missed you." She said wrapping her arm around my shoulders and trying to pull me out of Edwards grasp, thankfully he was not willing to release me, so I grasped his hand in mine to double the connection he had as he held my arm. "So where is our baby girl?" She asked giving up trying to pull me away. I felt Edward's grip on me tighten when she said 'our.' I squeeze back, as I nodded towards Kate who had woken Alex up and was now cooing and looking very maternal all of a sudden. As Garrett watched on with a huge smile on his face, Kate asked about the wedding and Alice, Mom and Rose started to fill her in, whilst I zoned out as usual.
"Bella?" Angie said.
"Yes?" I asked as we all sat at the dinner table that had been set up for us all. Edward sat beside me and frowned when Angela sat on my other side and pulled my chair closer to her. Alex was on the chair between Edward and Mom.
"Tonight, after dinner, will you sing with the band?" Angela asked, I was about to say no, when she continued. "Just a few songs, for our regulars... please?" She asked.
"Oh go on Bells, we haven't had a chance to hear you sing yet." Rose said, okay so that was true, I'd been too busy since college broke up for summer break, so neither Jaz, Rose or Emm had heard me sing.
"I'm not really dressed for that." I said, hopefully letting them down gently.
"Actually, the first few dresses you bought pre bump were at the back of our closet so they survived the quake, we've had them cleaned for you, and you can borrow some shoes, please?" She said. I looked around at all their faces, all of them hopeful, I turned to Edward in the hope of a little support. But alas he mirrored their hope, damn him.
"Oh come on Bella, you will increase our tips ten fold like you always did, and I need the cash to buy me something rocktastic to wear to this wedding of yours. After all who else is going to stand up when they ask if anyone sees just cause why these two should not be joined yadda, yadda yadda?" She said, it worried me that she wasn't joking about that.
"I don't..."
"Four songs max... Pleeeeeeeese." She begged.
"Fine." I said grudgingly, "but only if you behave at my wedding." I challenged.
"You drive a hard bargain, but I guess I could try." She said picking up my hand and kissing it immediately after seeing Edward doing the same with my other hand.
I smiled stiffly, pulling my hand away from Angela to take a drink, my throat was suddenly bone dry and for once I was wishing my drink was alcoholic. I leaned into Edward. "You okay?" He asked nuzzling my ear. I shook my head as quite frankly I was far from okay.
Admittedly the bar and restaurant looked very different now, so it didn't remind me too much of the past. But Angela's behavior was beginning to worry me, and from his posture I knew it was bothering Edward too.
"So Edwart, what will you be doing when you finish school?" Angela asked, I elbowed her in the ribs.
"All being well, I'll be playing football for Udub." He said calmly, not rising to her teasing, or goading, whatever it was she was doing, it only got worse.
"Urgh, you're a jock? Well that figures. So how are you going to take care of 'my' Bella and Alex if you are off playing football all the time." She goaded. "She did leave you once already after all."
"Angela, manner's please." Kate said exasperatedly.
"Fine... She already left you once, Edwin." Angela said.
"Just stop." I said through my clenched teeth as I turned to face her. "You have no right to talk to him that way." I warned her.
"I was the one who held you Bella, you cried every night over him, it killed me inside to see what he did to you." She argued. "Egbert doesn't love you the way I love you."
I stood up, utterly seething. "His name is Edward, as you well know, and as grateful as I am to everyone here for how much they love and care for me, not one of you care like Edward does. He crossed the country and risked his life to pull me from the wreckage of this very building. His love is unconditional, and he would never disrespect someone I cared about, which is why he will not argue with you. Now you either apologize to him or I will leave right now and you will never hear from me again." I said in her face. Edward stood up to calm me, pulling me against his chest and rubbing my arm.
"Actually I think you should apologize to Bella, she cares a great deal for you and yet all you have done is insult her intelligence and her feelings." Edward said, I could hear Angela behind me, her breathing increase, agitated, and I could well imagine that she had her arms folded across her chest defiantly.
"Angela!" Kate and Garrett said appalled.
"Well he should know what it did to her." She argued.
"And you don't think it affected him the same way?" I asked turning in Edwards arms to face her again, but clutching at his arms to hold him close. "You don't think it almost killed him? That my leaving him didn't break him? Well believe me it did, and I have more than enough to make up for, things that I can never give back, like the early development of his daughter. Yet he forgave me everything, I owe him everything. My life, our daughters life, and if I live for a thousand years it still won't be enough, I will want only him forever." I told her, as Edward squeezed me tightly his face in my hair, the rest of the room silent.
"Bella?" She said in a whiny voice, but I glared at her, if she didn't start grovelling I was going to leave. "Okay, I'm sorry." She said not sounding sorry at all.
"Kate, Garrett I'm sorry, I love you all but I can't stay here." I said, turning to leave.
"Wait one minute Bella, please." Kate asked. She turned to Angela. "Don't you have anything to say? You would rather lose Bella as a dear friend than apologize to her and her family?"
"I..."
"Remind me to never set any of my friends up with you... you have no idea how to be a friend have you?" Caius said, equally as angry.
"Just get out of my sight, consider yourself grounded indefinitely." Garrett said.
"Kate?" Angela complained.
"You heard him Angela, now go." Kate said, but she didn't move.
"Now!" Garrett said banging the table making everyone jump, and Angela ran from the room, tears falling down her face. Just before she left the room she looked back at me, I couldn't even bring myself to look at her, I just turned to Edward as my own tears caught up with me.
"Please accept my apologies, my adopted daughter is not herself today, but please I beg you to continue with the meal." Garrett asked, "I'm sorry Bella, I never would have allowed it if I'd had any idea."
"I know, and I'm sorry too." I said as Edward urged me to sit again. "But we will leave before dinner." I said.
"No Bella, you are our guests, please don't leave on her account." Kate said.
"You need her to help out and to play piano, I can't be here for that so it's best all round if we just leave after lunch." I said.
"I insist that you stay, we will manage without Angela's help, and if I'm not mistaken you told me that your fiancée is quite the pianist." Kate said.
"As much as I would love to play for you Kate, I really don't need another reason for Angela to hate me." Edward said.
"Nonsense, I won't have the re-opening ruined by the spoilt little madam who for once didn't get her own way." Garrett said. "So please would you and Bella play with the band this evening, we would all appreciate it." He said, raising his hand to stop Edward when he was about to protest. "I will handle miss temper tantrum, and you have my word Bella that she will not be at the wedding. I won't allow her to do anything to ruin your day, and something tells me that that is exactly what she planned to do." He said shaking his head. "Please?" he added.
"We can go through what songs we all know after lunch if that's okay?" Caius added, like this was nothing out of the ordinary.
"How do you feel about this?" Edward asked me, I shrugged, honestly I had nothing. "Do you want to sing?" he asked, and I sighed leaning into him, this was turning into one really awful day, I'm not sure I could take much more.
~0~
After lunch, Garrett and Kate disappeared for almost an hour, as the rest of us helped rearrange the tables and helped where we could. Edward, Caius and I joined the rest of the band to sort out what we could play that evening. When Kate and Garrett returned they pulled Edward and I aside and apologized again for Angela's behavior, apparently they had been to Kate's sisters and taken Angela with them, she'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Kate was disgusted with her, as was I, I never thought my friend was capable of behaving that way, I have to admit I was relieved that I wouldn't have to face her again. Especially so that she would not be at my wedding, I was going to be stressed enough that day, without the help of my former friend.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was much lighter when everyone realized that Angela wouldn't be bursting through the door at any given moment. We actually managed to have a good time, I changed into one of my black dresses and was pleased to note that I didn't look half bad.
"You look incredible as always." Edward said, he'd had to change too, Mom had gone back to the hotel for his suit, as Alex managed to get food all over her Daddy at dinner time. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked holding me as tightly as ever.
"Without the pressure of Angela, I am actually looking forward to playing with you." I said.
"Oh I'll be playing with you when we get back to the hotel." He said smirking at me.
"Is that so?" I asked, he nodded enthusiastically. "Maybe we should abstain from sex until our wedding night." I suggested.
"Okay, we can do that on Friday." He said.
"It is Friday." I pointed out.
"Yes, but I mean next Friday."
"That is the day before we get married, that's not much of an abstention." I said.
"It's the most I'm willing to give you." He said leaning down to kiss me chastely on the lips.
"So that's from midnight on Thursday, no sex until we're married?" I asked.
"Oh hell no, I'll have you with breakfast Friday morning, maybe with lunch too, and with dinner just to be fair. Then no more sex until after midnight." He said.
"Don't you mean until after we're married?" I asked.
"No way, Saturday morning... it's my last moment's as a single guy to be with women I want most in this world." He said.
I rolled my eyes at him. "You do realize that Alice has every intention of making us all sleep separately that night." I reminded him.
"She intends to have a sleep over, if she thinks I'm not going to be in your sleeping bag that night she is sorely mistaken." He said, I had no complaints, not sure Alice would allow that though. "Come on beautiful, I am missing my baby girl and we still have a restaurant to enthrall before we can go back to our hotel, so lets get this party started." He said grinning, giving my hand a tug to get me to follow him back down to the bar. "I'm not going to be able to concentrate tonight, you look about twenty something and every guy in the place will be hitting on you." He said as we went down the stairs.
"I doubt that, the last time most of these people saw me, I was very pregnant." I pointed out.
"Well I'm just going to make sure that they know that it's me you're coming home with." He said.
"Always."
~0~
"Ladies and Gentlemen, preforming for this night only, Mr and Mrs Cullen." Garrett said as Edward and I approached the stage, Edward squeezed my hand before sitting at the piano.
I sat at the bar stool center stage, with Alice and Rose off to the side after some convincing to be my backing singers.
"People say, love comes and goes
But they don't understand what they don't know
'Cause what I feel starts deep inside
It's kinda like a seed that springs into life
They say, it's not right and we move too fast
But they don't know the meaning of what we have
Wherever it is, I'll fly
Whatever it takes, I'll try
So don't pay no mind to whatever people say
Whenever it is in my life
Know that I will be on time
'Cause you know why there's no standing in our way
When you're far and we're apart
I'm really missing you, I wanna be where you are
They say, it's not right and it won't last
No point believing what we have."
(Leona Lewis – Whatever it takes)
I sang as Edward looked up at me adoringly, giving me that little push to relax me as I felt that little rush I got whenever I preformed. I had to fight back the smile trying to creep across my face when I saw Emm and Jasper's face's. Yes brothers, I have a voice, and some believe I can sing with it too. I managed to sing for almost an hour before I was physically and mentally exhausted, by which time I desperately needed to be in Edward's arms whilst I held my daughter in mine.
"Excuse me Miss, can I have a word." Someone said tapping me on my shoulder as I tried to make my way over to Kate who had Alexandria in her arms.
"Sorry, not right now, I'm a little busy." I said.
"Miss, I'm..." He said but Edward interrupted him.
"I believe she said not right now." Edward said, wrapping his arm around my waist.
"I'm sure you think you are helping her young man, but I happen to be a record producer and I..." He said in retaliation.
"Actually I don't care who you are, not now means not now!" Edward said straightening up, intimidatingly taller than the man.
"Miss you have an extraordinary voice, you owe it to yourself to be heard, America needs a talent like yours, and you are better than a bar singer, I could help you with that." He said holding up a business card, but I ignored it..
"Sir, whatever your name is, I'm seventeen, I have a three month old daughter and I'm about to get married, I think America will do just fine without me." I said as I took my baby girl in my arms.
"But..." He tried to say.
"You have your answer, now if you will excuse us." Edward said as we turned our backs on him. "Come on babe, lets go home." He said holding me close and leading me behind the bar so that we could say goodnight to everyone.
"Did that really just happen?" Alice asked, looking wide eyes at the guy who had just spoken to us.
"I don't care I just want to go home." I said with a yawn.
I hugged everyone, and said I'd see them at the wedding, then finally Edward rushed us into the awaiting car.
A/N Next chapter Edward's POV, it's the run up to the wedding... probably most of the wedding too, we'll see how it goes, I wonder what will happen? And how will the Cullen's family react to this wedding? Especially Edward's distant cousin Tanya? :D
