As promised :) And I think many of you will be super happy!

A few things first... there IS a lemon in this chapter. Those of you who have read my other stories know that I don't usually write them. I wrote one for One In A Million and I don't think it was very good. I feel pretty happy about this one but PLEASE let me know how I did when you review okay? I'd like to continue writing them but I'm not going to waste my time if it sucks.

Second... It's mixed POV.

Third... This is my longest chapter yet! Eeeek!

And lastly... the restaurant they go to is real. It's in Port Angeles but I altered it just slightly. There isn't a dance floor at C'est Si Bon.

Enjoy and let me know how I did!

Chapter Twenty-Six

"So things are going well then?"

"Yeah," I say into my phone as I throw some clothes for tomorrow in my overnight bag. "We're going out to dinner tonight. Didn't Rosalie tell you?"

"I just wanted to hear it from you, Bells," my big brother tells me. The way he sounds tells me that he's pacing the floor of where he is, rubbing the top of his head. It was something he did when he was being serious. "I still feel bad about being the reason why you two broke up in the first place."

"You weren't the reason, Em," I sigh. "I was okay? It's about time that I own up to my mistakes. James said some things to me that night and it freaked me out. Edward and I… we're in a good place right now."

"I'm glad." There's a pause before he speaks again. "How's the squirt? Is she going out with the two of you?"

"Emmett, I love our mother but she's nuts." A loud laugh makes its way through the phone which causes me to let out a laugh of my own. I loved my big brother. "She jumped at the chance to keep Addie for the night and started going on about more babies. If you don't watch out, she will be coming after you and Rosalie."

"And what does our dear father think about all of this?"

"He said something along the lines of shooting Edward if he gets me pregnant but that he's all for some grandbabies from his oldest. Preferably a boy."

"They're all insane!"

I sit down on my bed just as someone knocks on my bedroom door. It opens and Alice peeks her head in. I wave my hand for her to come in and nearly drop my phone when I see Rosalie follow her in.

"Emmett, why is your girlfriend here in my bedroom and not with you in LA?" I growl.

"So she made it there safely then?" he casually asks.

"You knew this whole time and didn't say anything?"

"She wanted to surprise you! Her little Bella is growing up!" he teases.

"I have to go. Love you." I hang up before he can respond and fling myself at Rose. She catches me in her arms and hugs me just as tight as I hug her. "I'm so sorry for the way I treated you," I cry without letting her go. "You and Alice are my best friends. I've been so horrible to the both of you."

"We love you, honey," Rosalie tells me. She reaches out and pulls Alice into our hug. My arm instinctively goes out and wraps itself around Alice. "We just want you to be happy."

"I am. I'm so happy."

I hear a click from my doorway. We all glance up from our group hug to see my mother standing there with her camera, grinning like a fool.

"Don't mind me," she says. "Carry on."

Next thing I know she's running down the stairs, laughing to herself.

"Renee is weird," Rosalie says.

"She's plotting for more babies," I respond. Rosalie's eyes go as wide as saucers and she begins to furiously shake her head. Rosalie wanted a large family one day but not with her career really beginning to take off. I was right there with her. Maybe when Addie was out of diapers.

I wondered if Edward wanted anymore.

I would have to talk to him about that later.

"I don't care what the two of you think," Alice pipes up. "I love her. She's a free spirit."

Alice's declaration of love for Renee has Rose and me erupting into a fit of giggles as we pulled out of our group hug.

"What?" Alice laughs. "She just loves her family."

"We love her," I answer as I plop back down on to my bed.

"No."

"What?"

Alice grabs hold of one hand while Rosalie grabs the other and pulls me from my spot. Together they shove me into the chair that sat in front of my vanity.

"You've showered and waxed and plucked like I told you to?" she asks. Rosalie is already opening up several containers of makeup and plugging in a flat iron. Too afraid to answer, I just nod. "Good girl. Wait until you see the dress, Rose. It's perfect. You make sure to tell my brother not to destroy it when he rips it off you."

"Alice!" I scold but it comes out as a laugh.

"Don't be a prude," she tells me. Her eyes meet mine in the mirror in front of us and I know that she knows. She knows that I plan on having sexy fun times with her brother. For some strange reason, the girl is okay with it. "He won't be able to take his eyes off you."

"He barely can already," Rose adds as she applies foundation to my face.

Thank God because I can already feel the blush creeping up my neck.

Our conversation quietly dies off as I watch Rosalie and Alice work some magic. Alice is busy coming out my hair while the flat iron warms up. She told me while we were in Seattle that she was going to use it to create some loose curls. Rosalie reaches for the eyeliner but stops and looks up at Alice.

"I need to see the dress," Rosalie says to her. "I need to know for the eyeshadow."

"It's hanging up on my closet door," I tell them.

Alice grabs hold of Rosalie's hand and yanks her to my closet. The sound of a zipper from the garment bag and Rosalie's gasp fills my bedroom.

"It's perfect," Rosalie says in awe. "So Bella."

"I know, right?" Alice gushes. "And the blue looks amazing against her skin."

"That crocheted pattern is beautiful." Rosalie takes her place back in front of me. She bends down so she's more eye level with me. Her blue eyes look me straight in the face. "You deserve this, Bella. You more than anyone else." I can feel the tears burning my eyes and when I try to speak, it comes out a bit strangled so I just smile and nod. She returns the smile before instructing me to close my eyes. I do as I'm told and allow her to apply minimal eyeliner and some eye shadow.

While Rosalie works on my makeup, Alice continues her work on my hair. We had decided to do some loose curls with a flat iron and then pin it back with a clip. By the end of our afternoon last week, she and Angela had everything figured out. They were convinced that I would achieve hot MILF status…. Then they insisted on a play by play when we met on Monday morning for breakfast.

I wasn't sure how long Rosalie planned on staying in Forks but I was sure that she would be involved in the inquisition somehow.

"Okay. Open," Rosalie tells me.

I open my eyes and my mouth falls open. Rosalie had gone for a more of a natural look with pink and light brown eye shadow. She painted my lips with a light pink gloss and added just blush. Alice had managed to give my hair just enough volume and the curls weren't over the top. I looked completely natural.

I looked like a normal twenty-one year old.

I looked like Bella.

"Thanks, girls," I say to them, trying to keep my tears away. They would kill me if I ruined all of their hard work.

"It's okay to cry," Alice says. "She used waterproof makeup."

Of course she did.

"You need to get into your dress," Rosalie orders. "We'll wait downstairs."

"Make sure you wear the underwear that we bought for you," Alice chimes in. "The heels are in the bottom of the garment bag too."

I nod my appreciation and watch them close the door behind them.

Edward shows up just as I'm walking out of my bedroom.

"Okay, Bella," Alice calls from the bottom of the steps. "You can come down now."

I take a deep breath and close my door. On my way towards the stairs, I peek in across the hall into Addie's room. She's sleeping soundly with her little butt in the air and a pacifier in her mouth. I can't keep the smile off my face as I gaze at her.

Alice calls for me again so I pull the door closed, leaving it open just a bit.

I had tried to talk my mother and Alice into letting me bring Addie along but they wouldn't hear of it. Now that things were beginning to come together, they wanted me to let loose just a bit. A night with my boyfriend wouldn't kill me.

But the sight of Edward in his suit surely would.

I was halfway down the stairs when I caught sight of Edward. He wore a black suit with a navy dress shirt and black tie underneath. I had never seen Edward in a suit before and if he always looked this good, he was never going to be out of one.

He smiled at me before approaching me just as I hit the last step.

"Ready?" he asks. All I manage is a little nod. He takes my coat that is draped over his arm and helps me to put it on. He kisses my cheek afterwards. "You look gorgeous."

"Thank you." Already I can feel that treacherous blush. I turn away from him to hide it and look at my friends and parents. "She's sound asleep," I tell them. "She'll be awake around eleven for a change and feeding."

"We've got in, Bells," Charlie tells me as he walks us to the door. "We've raised two hooligans of our own."

"Are you sure? I can stay –"

"Isabella Marie," Renee chimes in. "You're going to go out and enjoy the night with your man. If anything happens then we'll call you. We promise."

"Okay. Fine. Sorry," I grumble as I walk out on to the porch.

"Have a good night!" Renee says before slamming the door.

"Well then."

Edward laughs and takes my hand in his before leading me to his car. "You'll enjoy yourself," he tells me. "I promise."

I looked him over as I climbed into the car and smiled to myself.

Damn right I would.

"C'est Si Bon," Bella mumbles to herself.

"Come on," I tell her. I take her hand in mine and lead her to the door. She thanks me when I hold it open for her

I had never been to C'est Si Bon before but it had come highly recommended by my parents. I had been a little bit hesitant to bring Bella here when I discovered that it was rather expensive but Alice had reassured me that she talked to Bella about overreacting.

Apparently, James didn't take her out very often and when he did, he kept things as cheap as possible. Oh well. His loss.

I couldn't take my eyes off of her tonight.

As soon as I saw her on those stairs, I knew that I was truly done for. For months, I knew that I wanted to marry Bella Swan. Tonight just managed to convince me that she was more than just some girl. Bella was my IT girl. I was more than lucky to be here with her tonight. That month without her was hell. I didn't want to go through life without her if I didn't have to.

"Would you like to dance?"

Had I heard right? She wanted to dance?

I look up from my menu and see Bella eyeing the dance floor in the middle of the room.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"I think I can handle some swaying back and forth," she tells me as she stands. "One dance and then we'll order."

She reaches for me and pulls me towards the floor. I glance back at our table and she laughs.

I fucking loved that sound.

"Oh don't you dare look back," she says. She's facing me and walking backwards as she talks. "Just keep your eyes on me."

She finds us a spot and pulls me to her. A new song comes on as she wraps her arms around my neck and begins to gently sway to the music.

"You've been holding back," I whisper.

"Shut up and dance with me," she replies quietly.

How can I say no to that?

I hold her close to me. My arms are wrapped around her waist and a quiet sigh comes from Bella when she rests her head against my shoulder.

All of a sudden, dinner doesn't really seem that important. I had wanted to take her out and show her off. I had wanted her to be able to enjoy herself and not have to worry about taking care of other people for a change. In the end, I really just wanted to take her home and just be with her.

Despite our ruined dinner, last weekend had been perfect.

It felt right.

Just sitting in my bed while we ate a pizza.

No television. No music.

Just us talking.

Even when Katie was alive, we didn't do that. I loved her like crazy but she enjoyed getting all dressed up and going out every weekend. We were always going to a club for dancing.

Bella was just so different than Katie.

"Edward?" Bella asks.

"Hm?"

"Take me home."

Fucking yes.

We didn't even get the door closed before Edward has me pushed against the wall. Pictures crash around us as I let out a half-laugh/half-moan. Edward pulls away from me and the way the outside light hits him causes my breath to catch in my throat.

He gives me a crooked grin and recaptures my lips with his. It's soft and slow and perfect.

"You're positive?" Edwards asks when he pulls away from me.

"Edward, if you don't take me into that bedroom and make me forget my own name then I may just explode."

I didn't think it was possible for his smile to get any larger but it did.

I did that. Me. no one else.

Without any warning, Edward hoists me up. Instinctively, I wrap my arms and legs tight around his muscular body. Never in my life had anything felt more right. He was IT for me.

I squeal when he takes off down the hallway towards his room before silencing my giggles with his mouth. I pull my lips away from his and travel down his neck. I suck his skin into my mouth and he lets out a hiss.

Entering his room, Edward kicks the door shut with his foot before throwing me on to his bed. He quickly tries to unbutton his shirt but his hands only fumble over the buttons. I watch him shake and try to control his breathing.

"Here. Let me help."

I move up on to my knees and move forward until we're so close together that we can hear each other breathe. I reach out and slowly work my hands over the buttons of his dress shirt. I push it off of him and soon as it's completely off, he pushes me back down onto the bed. I scoot back a little and pull my dress quickly over my head.

The wetness between my legs grows as Edward stares at me. Never before had I felt like this. I feel raw and exposed and beautiful. No man has looked at me the way that Edward is right now.

I briefly look away from his piercing green eyes. I suddenly can't help but feel embarrassed by what we're about to do.

"Hey." The clank of Edward's pants hitting the ground and the bed dipping next to her has me looking back at him. He smiles before settling himself on top me. I allow my legs to part and sigh because it just feels so right. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to. I can wait."

"I want to," I tell him. "It's just been a while."

"It's been a while for me too."

"Yeah?"

"Nearly two years."

"Oh. Okay then."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

Edward leans down and kisses him. His hands roam up and down my sides. They stop on my sides and I can see that he's surprised by the thong.

"Alice insisted," I mumbled.

He fights the urge to laugh. "I really don't want to talk about my sister right now, Bella."

"Right. Sorry. As you were."

His lips go back to mine before they travel to my check then down my neck until they find my breasts. I moan when he takes a nipple into his mouth while he kneads the other with the palm of his hand. I squirm beneath him and my back arches up in an attempt to gain better contact. I feel him smile against my skin before he continues his descent down my body. He reaches the thong and places a kiss on my stomach, just above the top of it. I moan.

I can feel Edward's erection through his boxer briefs.

He glances up at me and never one breaking our eye contact, he hooks his fingers through the elastic band of my thong and pulls it down. He kisses the inside of my thigh before standing up and removing his boxers. He repositions himself on top of my body before brushing my hair away.

"You're positive?" he asks me again.

I know his hesitance is because it's been a long time for the both of us. I nod and smile up at him.

Edward positions himself at my entrance. I'm more than ready for him. My wetness is practically screaming at him to get a move on already. He kisses me and slowly pushes himself into my warmth. The kiss is briefly broken by the gasp that escapes me. I throw my head back and my back arches up, taking him in completely.

"Ugh," Edward moans. "You feel so good, baby."

He pulls back a little before pushing back into me. He moves slowly at first until he has established a decent rhythm. Each time a small moan escapes me, he goes a little bit faster. I wrap my legs around his waist, pushing him deeper into me. A loud moan escapes us both.

Edward takes hold of my hands, linking our fingers and pinning my hands above my head as he thrusts deeper and faster into me.

"Shit, Bella," he groans. "So close."

Between my writhing and loud moans, I beg him for more. I beg him to go harder. He complies and all too soon my walls begin to contract around him.

"Edward!" I cry out as my orgasm takes over my body.

The clenching and his name on my lips is enough to send him over the edge as well.

"Bella," he moans as he spills into me.

Together, we come down from our high. We're both tired and slick with sweat but neither one of us seems to mind. We're just grateful that we've made it to this point.

Edward pulled out and pulls me close to him. I curl into his side and I can't help but think how perfect tonight was. I was slowly beginning to understand why he was so adamant that we would have a future together.

Everything about us just felt right.

"Edward?" I whisper.

"Yes, love?" he replies.

"Thank you.

"For what?"

"Everything."

He turns on his side to get a good look at me and pulls me even closer to him.

"Don't you know that I'd do anything for you, Bella? …I love you."

"I love you too."

He smiles before kissing me.

"Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we do that again?"
