Chapter 26 – Breaking Dawn Part 1

Sam's POV

Bella sighed and began talking again.

"The next few weeks flew by very quickly. Alice was busy making preparations for the wedding. My parents gave their blessings for our marriage and I was grieving over my truck which I suspected had a little help dying."

Bella glared over at Edward, who smirked and sunk his head in his shoulders, looking extremely guilty.

"Dad, you didn't." Nessie said giggling as Jacob laughs.

"You killed her truck?" Tiffany laughs.

"She was about to go to Jacob that time and I had to stop her from going because of how dangerous wolves are." Edward defended and leaned over and kissed Bella's temple as she continued her story. Wow Edward, the things you do to protect Bella.

"That car I got, the black Mercedes Guardian, was for temporary use until I was changed into a vampire, when I would not need the protection, and then he would replace it with a red Ferrari."

"I was constantly seeing the 'HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOY' posters for Jacob, who at the time was still missing. I felt guilty about Jacob, believing that my rejection caused him to run away."

I looked down at Jacob and he was now looking towards the plastic tree again.

"The night before our wedding, Edward was worried about all that I was 'giving up'."

Giving up? What would she be giving up?

"I was worried about tripping in my wedding gown and falling down the stairs; also about meeting Tanya and the Denali clan." Oh that. That's typical on weddings.

"A few nights before then though, Carlisle had explained that the Denali's mother was destroyed by the Volturi for creating an immortal child and all that, that intended. Edward explained all that to you."

"Our wedding day had arrived and I was nervous but not about marrying Edward, just the whole ceremony."

"How can you not be?" Elena said smiling. Edward smiled and kissed Bella's head again.

"Edward was keeping the honeymoon destination a secret and that was driving me mad." Bella said.

Yep! That would drive you crazy.

"Alice and Rosalie worked all day on my makeup and hair."

Why, she's looks beautiful right now. Edward nodded and brought Bella's left hand up to his lips and kissed all of her knuckles.

"Dad escorts me down the stairs and down the makeshift aisle." Bella said and both twins, Nessie and Lucina looked really excited. "As soon as I saw Edward at the altar, all my fears were gone."

Edward smiled sweetly and tightened his grip Bella, pulling her onto his lap.

"The reception was in the backyard, at twilight. You guys saw it of course." Bella said to Charlie and Renee causing them to smile.

"Edward and I greeted our guests and I met the Denali Coven for the first time. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. As you know, we had all the standard wedding traditions. We had our first dance, the father daughter dance, and more dancing."

I felt a smile appear on my face. I love dancing while Ethan states that he's bad at it. I saw nothing wrong when we did it.

"Cutting cake; which Edward manly swallowed his bite of cake."

"Good one on you Edward." Austin said as Edward smiled softly, his eyes still closed.

"Throwing the bouquet; I was shocked that I had made it into the crowd at all and was happy when Angela caught it. Throwing the garter; Jasper and Emmett howled in laughter as Edward ducked under my dress to retrieve my borrowed garter, which I had shimmed down to nearly my ankle. He griped it very carefully with his teeth and he winked at me before he shot it right into Mike Newton's face! The whole moment was priceless."

Mike? Does she mean that marshmallow Jacob calls him? Edward smirks and nodded his head to me.

"Edward was horrified that Alice didn't let me see myself in the mirror earlier that morning so I had no idea what I looked like and when Edward showed me I was speechless. In my thoughts I finally looked like I was supposed to be standing next to him."

"Jacob then steps out from the woods into Edward's hearing range and Edward took me over to him; Edward left so Jacob and I could talk alone. Bad idea."

"What happened?" Renee asked.

"What did you do this time?" Krystal asked Bella. Okay next time that happens, we have to ask that question.

Jacob flinched and looked from the plastic Christmas tree to the front window. And now what did Jacob do? Bella took her cue and spoke.

"I was very relieved that Jacob had decided to come after all. He was still my best friend. But somewhere in the conversation he found out that Edward and I were going to have a real honeymoon while I was still human. Jacob being Jacob was horrified even at the idea to hear what I was planning before I became a vampire"

"Jacob grabs me and starts to shakes me while stopping me from doing what I want. Edward was there instantly." Charlie glared down at Jacob looked away. Geez, I thought Jacob's tough.

"I'm glad I'm not you." Jalen to Jacob, chuckling earning a slap in the chest by Tiffany.

"Jacob was ready to kill him. Seth and two other wolves shoved Jacob back into the woods. I quickly composed myself and Edward and I go back to the reception, like nothing happened. Luckily, only the wolves, the Cullen's and the Denali's heard the argument."

Wow! Everyone at the reception didn't hear all of that? I looked to see Charlie and Renee to be surprised.

"I said 'goodbye' to my parents and then Edward and I leave for our honeymoon. First we take a plane to Houston, a second one to Rio de Janeiro, and then a boat to Isle Esme."

"What's Isle Esme?" I asked.

"Isle Esme is a small island that Carlisle got Esme as a wedding anniversary present a few decades ago." Edward answered.

No way, an island? Why can't I have something like that?

"Edward carried me across the threshold and sets our bags down. Then he goes for a midnight swim and waits for me in the water. I took a shower to calm myself down and remind myself that if it wasn't Edward, I could not have done this."

"Of course Edward being his overprotective self was afraid of hurting me but I told him not to worry that we belong together; which we do. We fit together like corresponding puzzle pieces."

"Awe!" The twins said.

"The next morning, I wake up to a feeling of pure happiness and fullness; feeling complete for the first time in my life." Bella said. Good thing she didn't get into details, not with the kids here.

"Then Edward goes and ruins my morning by being angry at himself. He points out the bruises all over me body; he berates himself for hurting me."

Edward's peaceful face turns into a slight grimace and then he buried his face in Bella's neck.

"I couldn't remember when he held me too close or too tight. I just remembered wanting him closer and for him to hold me tighter. I insisted that I was fine, which I was and I wanted to do it again."

Charlie looked extremely uncomfortable and Jacob had his nose all scrunched up.

"I tried to convince him again that I was fine, that I was happy. I was covered in feathers but I was overjoyed."

"Edward gets up to fix breakfast for me, and then I asked him if he plans to avoid touching me for the rest of the honeymoon."

"Why doesn't that surprise me one bit about you Edward?" Jalen asked. Edward sighed and told Bella to continue.

"He was still horrified that he had bruised me in bed. He vowed not to do it again until I had been turned."

"I knew it would be hard but I eventually succeeded in getting him to have the best honeymoon. But in the meantime I knew he would do anything to get me completely tired during the day." Bella said. "And boy was I right! Edward kept me so busy with snorkeling, hiking, swimming, exploring, sunsets and all kinds of board and card games, that I was exhausted at the end of every day."

"Well that's one way of stalling." Bryce said.

"But I tried and I tried to get Edward to cave. Still nothing." Bella said.

"You don't know how hard that was for me! To deny you something you desperately wanted and need. What I needed!" Edward said as he looked up, smiled and kisses the top of Bella's head.

"I kept having nightmares about the Volturi and a vampire child, and beautiful dreams." Bella said. Oh not again with the Volturi. "I woke up crying one night, I wanted Edward so much. I pleaded with him and kissed him and he finally gave in."

"Edward and I were both happy in the morning. One, we finally got what we both wanted and two, Edward did not place one bruise on me … but he did break the headboard."

Edward's eyes widened and he looked whiter than normal, if that was at all possible.

He ducked down and whispered something to Bella.

It was her turn to get all wide eyed. "What?!" Edward flinched from her voice. Even Lucas, Tiffany, Lucina and the other three jumped including Jacob and Nessie.

"What do you mean you forgot to replace the headboard?! You're a vampire, how did you forget?! That was twenty years ago!" Bella asked, well shouted. Edward just kind of gave her a small smile and whispered something to her again and she nodded.

She took a deep breath and sighed. "I understand. I kind of forgot too with everything that has happened to us all. But we have to get it fixed before Carlisle and Esme go next month." Bella says calmly and quietly.

Edward smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I will take care of it the day after Christmas." He murmured his promise.

Bella smiled back and kissed him lightly on the lips. Okay, that was odd.

"What has been happening to you guys because I know it's not just about Bella and Edward's love life and Bella's danger attraction?" Charlie asked.

Bella shook her head calmly. "Nothing to worry about now. We will get to the chaos a little later this evening."

Charlie nodded and he leaned back on the couch.

"So that morning, I was woozy, but it passed quickly and I didn't think much about it. Then the Brazilian cleaning people came. The native woman suspects what Edward is and she was frightened for me."

What was the women be scared for Bella about?

"I later noticed that I was getting unusual illnesses and changes of appetite, but I didn't make anything of it." Bella said.

I looked to see everyone minus the Cullens was confused as well as I but Charlie looked like he was putting two and two together.

"Edward and I spent the rest of our honeymoon acting like any normal honeymoon couple. Well we were probably more extreme." Bella said. "Later I woke up from another dream about the Volturi and the beautiful child. Edward was gone; he left me a note saying he had went hunting on the mainland. We had been there over two weeks so I knew he would have to go soon."

"I was hot, sweaty and hungry. I fixed myself some fried chicken but it tasted wrong so I threw it out. When Edward got home I started throwing up. After seeing a box of unused tampons that's when all the pieces fell into place and I realized; I must be pregnant."

So I guess that's where Nessie came in.

"That must've been magical for you two." Tori said beaming.

However, Edward sighed deeply and his exhale was really shaky. He looked like he committed a crime and regrets it.

"Before we tell you anything more, you must understand that I love my daughter with everything I am, but I was thinking purely of protecting my mate. My everything. My Bella."

Nessie reached over grabbed Edward's hands and kissed his cheek. They stared at each other and Edward smiled to her.

What happened? Edward kissed Bella's cheek and she continued where she had left off.

"I touched my stomach and instead of my normally flat belly, I had a tiny but defined baby bump. I also felt a little nudge."

Charlie shifted again and slouched further down into the sofa.

"When I looked over at Edward, he was stunned, not moving. He was frozen in place." I looked over at Edward and he was staring at Bella's hands, playing with her fingers.

"As soon as I found out I was pregnant and started to picture my perfect baby, my beautiful family; I then received a phone call from Alice, and I asked her to hand the phone to Carlisle. I told him my theory and he asked some medical questions and agreed that I was indeed pregnant."

"Edward snapped out of his shock and started making travel arrangements while he hurriedly packed up all of our belongings. I didn't want to leave and I didn't understand why Edward seemed so furious, he always wanted me to have every experience and he wanted children also but never thought it was possible."

"I felt another nudge and was surprised at how much I already loved my little nudger." Bella continued. Aw! She already loved her baby! "Edward told me not to be afraid, that he wouldn't let the…the thing hurt me."

What?!

"He realized, in his mind that what was growing inside of me, needed to be killed. Edward feared that the pregnancy would kill me, and, unable to stand the thought, he tried to convince me into having an abortion."

"YOU DID WHAT?!" We all turned to see it was Lucas who looks extremely mad as he was about to go at Edward, probably to kill him but was held back by Tiffany and Krystal. Okay one, I'm glad they did because Edward would've kill Lucas and two, how the hell are they able to hold Lucas down?

"Lucas, calm down." Krystal said getting him back in his seat. Lucas somehow was able to calm down and had that look of regret.

"Sorry, it's just… you know how much I care about Nessie." He said causing Nessie to smile.

"Well I don't blame you Lucas." Charlie said and that caused Edward to flinch and gave Charlie a quick nod.

Bella cleared her throat and began talking to us again.

"However, I felt a bond with my unborn child and insisted on giving birth. I would never kill a child, especially my child; mine and Edward's child."

Edward kissed Bella's temple and whispered something else to her.

"I snuck a phone call to Rosalie to ask for help, while Edward took a load of stuff out to the boat."

"Why Rosalie?" Mom asked.

Bella sighed quickly.

"Rose has always wanted a baby, so I knew she would protect mine, even if I didn't make it out alive. I knew my baby would be safe."

Edward grimaced and looked over at her and shook his head, but smiled all the same.

"Edward immediately took me back to Forks where he and Carlisle could abort the baby, but I asked Rosalie to protect me as I had already learned to love my child. So as soon as we arrived at the airport in Port Angeles, I ran straight to Rosalie."

Jacob looked up at Edward and Bella.

"My baby developed at an extremely fast rate, and I became very sick. I became unable to ingest food, and I was indeed dying slowly." Bella said the last very quietly and Edward wrapped his arms around her and started talking to her slowly.

Jacob nodded his head to whatever Edward was telling Bella. I have a feeling that whatever they are going to tell us, it isn't going to be good.

Man, soon twenty seven chapters and we haven't even got to my stories yet. Please review.
