A/N: Thank you to all that gave me their input for whether or not Leah should be at the wedding.
Without further ado here is the wedding! Enjoy!
When you get to the wedding ceremony you should play Songbird by Fleetwood Mac as Bella is walking to Edward. *Tears*

I'm glad I made the decision to come home from Seattle. My stupid manager was running a minor drug ring of sorts out of our hotel. He was caught, he was arrested, and he was fired. I handed the hiring of the new manager to my second in command and left immediately for the airport to head back to Forks. I wanted to surprise Bella. The company jet had been very handy, well worth the upkeep.
I was going to make it a point to coax Bella into counseling and I would be more than willing to go with her if she wanted me to. I wanted our new life to start out on the right foot and I didn't want anything dragging her down. Leah's condition was weighing heavily on her mind and she couldn't shake it. I knew a good counselor would be the first step in helping her; I'd have my dad recommend one for her if she was willing to give it try.
…..Chapter 27…
EPOV
I lay in the bed holding Bella's still sleeping body. My thoughts were on our future and how I hadn't even asked her if she would be willing to have my baby…our baby. We had been so focused on Leah and ourselves that having another baby hadn't really crossed my mind in quite some time. I wasn't sure if she would be receptive to the idea but it was something that I wanted to ask her before we got married. If she said no I would accept it but I hoped that she would say that she would at least consider it.
Now…how am I going to approach this?
I slip my arm out from under her shoulder unwrapping her from my body. I should make her breakfast in bed. No, better yet, I'm going to pick up breakfast from the diner.
I call in my order, and then pull on my sweatpants and sweatshirt. I check on Leah before leaving. Irina said she had a fair night, she was still junkie and she had to do extra cough assist treatments to keep her clear. I thanked her for taking such great care of her before leaving to pick up the food.
Once I'm home I take the food to our bed. I start taking it out of the bags as Bella stretches her arms above her head, revealing the top of her breasts out from under the sheet. I lean over and lick her skin softly in hopes that she will wake up.
"Umm, something smells delicious…and you feel delicious, lick me again." She smiles.
"As much as I want to, it would lead to other things and I want you to eat a hot breakfast." I pull her sheet up to cover her now completely uncovered breasts."
"Humpf…not nice." She peeks at me through one eye.
"Come on …sit up and let's have breakfast." I toss her one of my t-shirts to slip on so that I won't be tempted to ravish her body on top of the breakfast that I have carefully spread out on top of the bed.
"You drive a hard bargain Mr. Cullen. If I weren't so hungry I'd throw the food on the floor and eat you instead." She giggles. I love playful Bella; maybe this is a good time to approach the topic of babies.
As Bella is shoveling, literally shoveling her blueberry waffles in her mouth, I chuckle at her. She wasn't kidding when she said she was hungry.
"Wha? Her cheeks are full on chipmunk status and she's smiling now trying to keep the chewed up food from falling from her lips. I lean in to help the situation, licking a bit of waffle off her syrupy sweet lips.
"I wanted to ask you something, I want an honest answer though." I tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear so that it doesn't fall into the syrup puddle on the plate she is holding.
She nods and swallows. "Kay. What's up?" She puts a piece of bacon in her mouth chewing the smoky salty goodness. The way her tongue licks her lips after taking the bite is distracting to say the least.
"We've never really discussed the topic of children of our own." I pay close attention to her reaction in case it's a touchy subject.
"Um... well, I always wanted more than one child but you know how my life went after Leah's diagnosis and then Jacob left us." Bella placed her nearly finished plate of food on the comforter. "You know if that's something that you are passionate about then you should have a genetic test to see if you are a carrier of the SMA gene." She tucked her lip in to her mouth and then I could tell she was deep in thought. "Because I'm a carrier obviously, so if you are then…." She trails off.
"I could do that. I'd want to know that we did everything we could to prevent passing SMA on to another child." I take her hand and kiss her palm. I smile at the fact that she didn't flat out say no.
"But Edward, if you are a carrier…I don't…I know for certain that I won't take that chance ever again."She's shaking her head.
I pull her to my lap wrapping my arms around her soft body. "That is more than fair. So you're telling me that you would consider letting me make your belly round with my baby? The thought of that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside." I chuckle and kiss her nose.
"I guess I am. I've enjoyed the trial runs so far." She pulls me to her lips, sucking my bottom lip into her mouth. I deepen our kiss and she tastes of blueberries and sweet syrup, delicious.
After our brief make out session, she tells me that she thinks that she should have some counseling to help her get through the trauma of Leah's desating episodes and help her deal with Leah's SMA. I told her I would contact Carlisle and have him refer her to someone and hopefully they would be able to see her before the wedding.
She agreed so I called Carlisle, he set up her first appointment for this afternoon. I told her I would go but she wanted to do it by herself saying that it was her that needed the work and not me. She wanted me to stay close to home with Leah.
I was impressed that she was being so strong.
BPOV
I decided that I really needed to speak with a professional about my insecurities with Leah. Carlisle was gracious enough to make the appointment for me, and I have a feeling that he pulled some strings to get me in as soon as possible. Like this afternoon.
Driving to the appointment in the drizzling rain I was nervous but excited to hopefully get some relief from all this worry and stress that I've been dealing with. To be honest, it's been going on for way longer than I've known Edward but its gotten worse lately.
Pulling into the parking lot of the Family Counseling Center I parked the car and took a few deep breaths before I went in for my appointment.
Dr. Smith's waiting room was desolate which made me feel a bit better since I was feeling a bit anxious. My heart was pounding and my hands were quivering.
"I have an appointment with Dr. Smith at 1:30. I'm Bella Black." I'm worrying with my lip between my teeth.
"Hi Bella, you can have a seat and I let Dr. Smith know you are here." The pretty blonde smiled at me from behind her computer.
I nodded and found a seat in the corner, picking up a magazine with Rob Pattinson on the cover.
A few minutes later my name was called and I shakily stood and made my way to the opened door.
"Hi there, I'm Dr. Smith." The tall dark man with gentle eyes proffered his hand to me. We shook and I introduced myself to him in return.
His office was masculine with black leather couches. One couch sat in front of a big picture window that looked out into a wooded area behind the building. The other was a love seat along the wall with a small table to the right of it, next to the couch. A tissue box was sitting on the table and I wonder to myself how many boxes of that he must go through in a week, month, and year? I choose the love seat and Dr. Smith sat down at his uncluttered mahogany desk adjacent to the love seat.
"So Bella…may I call you Bella?"
I nodded telling him Bella was fine.
"Carlisle is a good friend of mine; he made this appointment for you so you must be pretty important to him." His eyes were shining, he had a small smile on his lips.
"Yes, I'm marrying his son Edward in a few days actually." I was wringing my hands together in my lap.
"Okay, that makes you pretty important I'd say." He pauses as he writes in his legal pad.
He looks up at me after writing down a few things. "So what brings you here today?"
I tell him about Leah and her diagnosis. He asks about her father so I fill him in on Jacob and he asks how I met Edward. I feel the heat of my cheeks when he asks me but I'm honest and tell him exactly how we met and ended up together. I tell him about Leah's prognosis and about her desating episodes as of late and how much it affects me.
He nods his head and lets me talk which I feel like I'm rambling but it's making me feel better. I cry and use that tissue box I was wondering about earlier. I'm about ten tissues in when I realize I've been talking for well over an hour and a half. Dr. Smith asks questions periodically as I spill all my inner most feelings, secrets and overall insecurities. I really like how easy it is to talk with him and he gives me a few suggestions on how to help relieve some of my stress. He also wants to prescribe some anti-anxiety medication which I agree to take when I start to feel overwhelmed. So all in all I feel like this session has helped me tremendously.
I set up another appointment in four weeks but Dr. Smith said he would see me in an emergency situation if needed. I shook his hand and he patted me on my shoulder as I left, thanking him for his time.
On the way home I looked in the rear view mirror at myself and I look just how I felt. Tired, puffy, and overall like shit from the crying, but at the same time much better. I shrugged it off and drove the rest of the way home to my sweet little girl and the love of my life.
Day before the wedding
I was rushing around my bedroom trying to get my outfit for the rehearsal dinner pulled together. Alice bought me a dress to wear and said I had the jewelry to match but I was having a hard time finding it.
"Relax baby." Edward said as he tied his grey tie. He put his suit jacket on then came to my side to pull me in for a long kiss and a soothing word or two.
"I'm trying Edward but I swear I don't know what Ali expects me to wear with this dress. I don't have the jewelry she said I had. I must have misplaced it." I'm digging through my jewelry box; earrings are rolling off of my dresser and sticking in the carpet at my feet. "Shit!"
Edward pulls me from my jewel hunt and sits on the bed pulling me to his lap.
"Maybe she was talking about these." He hands me a long velvet box.
My eyes go wide and my mouth drops open. "Are you and Alice in cahoots with one another?"
He chuckles. "Maybe, but it was too cute watching you dig around for your jewelry knowing that I had these for you the entire time." He pauses and kisses my lips. "Alice meant for you to wear these tonight." He places the box in my hand.
I opened the black velvet box and saw a beautiful sapphire necklace. The gold chain was delicate and the tear drop sapphire pendant was surrounded with diamonds. It was absolutely gorgeous and it matched my navy blue cocktail dress. The necklace would sit perfectly right above the scooped neck of my silk sleeveless dress.
Also in the velvet box was a pair of diamond stud earrings.
"Oh Edward! These are gorgeous…I love them." I hugged him tightly around the neck and asked him to put the necklace on for me. "Thank you." I whisper in his ear.
"You look beautiful as always Bella." He clasped the necklace and turned me around to face him once more. "Now go put your dress on or I can't promise what I'll do to you. These lacey panties and bra you have on are making me hard." He pats me on my behind to get me moving.
"Yes Sir Mr. Cullen. Getting bossy now aren't we?" I smirked looking over my shoulder at him. He was licking his lips, his green eyes were darkening.
"I'll show you who's the boss baby, but not until we get home." He gave me a panty wetting wink and a crooked smile.
Damn…I need to focus. We were going to be late if I took much longer to get dressed.
Jacob was staying with Leah tonight while we were at the rehearsal but she would be at the wedding tomorrow. With the cool weather I didn't want her to get out anymore than absolutely necessary.
Edward and I took the Mercedes and Sue and Charlie drove her Lexus. They followed us to the little white chapel in the woods where we would be saying our wedding vows. I had always loved this tucked away chapel and I was excited that we would be getting married here tomorrow. The tall deep green pine trees and dense woods surrounding the chapel made it so quiet and romantic. The chapel only held seventy five people and we were at our limit. We were having just family and a few close friends. It all worked out and we would be at capacity if all showed up. Even though the reply cards were all mailed back to us there would inevitably be someone that wouldn't come as planned. So I wasn't worried about any standing room only situation.
Everyone must be here and waiting on us because I saw all the familiar cars already in the parking lot.
I leaned over and kissed Edward before we made our way into the chapel.
"Finally Bells…did you need a quickie before the rehearsal?" Alice joked.
"No Ali…I was digging for jewelry forever until Edward gave me these." I pointed to my neck and lifted my hair for her to see my earrings."
Her giddy little laugh made me smile even wider. "I couldn't keep a straight face when I told you that you already had jewelry to match your dress. Good thing we were on the phone when I lied to you." She came for a hug and I gave her a tight one. Alice was my very best friend in the world and she was like a sister to me.
"You and Edward were partners in crime, huh?" I eyed Edward as I released Ali.
"Yep, my man Eddie needed some help so I offered." She snickered at her nickname for him.
"It's Edward and yes Alice, you were very helpful, thank you." He winked at her.
Edward and I greeted all of our family and friends that were at the chapel and we did several trial runs of the ceremony to get it down pat.
Once we were finished and were comfortable with the way it would go tomorrow, we left for our dinner at the little French restaurant on Main Street.
I called to check on Leah several times throughout the evening and Jacob assured me that she was just fine in his care. She needed suctioned frequently but her sats were staying in an acceptable range. I felt better each time I checked in and I remembered some of the things that Dr. Smith told me to do when I felt anxious so I was actually doing okay. I didn't want to take any Xanax tonight since I wanted to enjoy some wine at dinner.
After our delicious meal Sue handed us all cards with times of when we should be at the chapel and when pictures would be taking place. The boys would be staying at the hotel together and Alice and Rosalie would be staying at my house. I had a blow up mattress that Rose would sleep on and Ali would sleep with me.
Each one of us kissed our significant others goodbye as we left. I didn't want Edward to sleep at the hotel but Ali insisted on tradition. The bride and groom shouldn't see one another until the wedding ceremony until the bride walked down the aisle to the groom.
I ended up giving in to her but promised that when she and Jasper finally tied the knot that I was going to make it hell on her in return. That put a devious smile on my face as we left the restaurant.
THE BIG DAY!
I woke up with a tray of hot coffee and croissants with fruit sitting on my bed. Alice and Rosalie made an early morning trip to the bakery and were back to wake me up to start the grueling process of making me beautiful for my wedding day.
"After breakfast Bella, Alice and l will start on your hair and makeup. Then we're going to the chapel and get dressed there." She took a piece of pineapple sucking the juice off of it before plopping it in her mouth. "Sue made sure to have the caterers send a lunch for us and the guys so we can nibble while we get ready."
I nodded as I took a sip of my black coffee. I wasn't fully awake yet.
"Yeah, then once we're ready, Jacob said he and Jessica would drive Leah over to the chapel for pictures and then the ceremony." Alice was pulling a sweatshirt over her head then plugged the curling iron in at my dresser.
"So that's gonna be super weird to have Jacob at your wedding, huh?" Rose added.
I shrugged. "Kind of but I really trust him with Leah. I'm going to be stressed anyway so he was willing to do it for her, and I guess for me too." I took a bite of the flakey buttery croissant and hummed.
"What's got you all hot and bothered?" Alice joked.
"Ha Alice! I love these croissants and you know it." I winked and took a huge bite just for dramatic purposes.
"Instant orgasm for sure." Said Alice.
Before I took my shower I wanted to check on Leah to make sure she was going to be fine with coming to the wedding.
"Hey beautiful girl…are you ready for a wedding today?" I kissed her chubby cheeks and then her lips.
"Ahhhhhh….." Leah closed her eyes tightly.
"Wow! You are ready aren't you?" I giggled at her playful little look.
"Ah…ah..ah…."
"Okay sweetie, mommy is going to go to take a shower then I'm going to the chapel to finish getting ready. Daddy and Jessica will bring you to me soon for pictures and then you have a BIG job to do for mommy and Edward."
Leah's eyes roll and she closes them and says her happy noises. She knows what her job is because we have been discussing it for quite some time now.
"You be a good girl and I'll see you very soon, I love you so much baby. You know that right?"
"Ah ha ha." She laughs at me. I shake my head and tickle her little neck. "You're silly…see you in a bit baby."
The Chapel/Ceremony
The chapel was gorgeous with beautiful cone arrangements of baby hydrangeas, baby's breath and greenery attached at each pew with burlap ribbon. There were candles ready to be lit in the tiny windows that ran along each side of the chapel. The altar had two huge arrangements of tall twisty twigs and greenish hydrangeas and blown out white roses hanging from the tops of the two foot tall clear vases. The view from the altar was amazing, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the woods. The Unity candle was on a table at the altar with two taper candles on either side. More candles would be lit around the church for our candlelight ceremony.
The girls and I found our way to the room that we would be finishing up getting ready in. Sue made her way in before the photographer got there and made sure that there were no last minute details needing attention.
We had decided that the photographer would take pictures of just us girls together, and then separately do the guys pictures, since Alice insisted on Edward and me not seeing one another until the actual ceremony. Right before the ceremony begins Leah would arrive and Alice would fix her hair and then it would be show time.
EPOV
This is really happening….
I woke up to loud music playing from Emmett's iPhone.
"Dude…seriously? I need to sleep for ten more minutes." I threw a pillow at him. He slept on the pull out sofa in my suite. Jasper had the adjoining room with a bed.
"Let's rock and roll Eddie…you have a date with a beautiful lady today." He loudly laughed and I wanted to punch his stupid face.
"Emmett, I'm not sure why we are friends…remind me." I rolled over covering my head with the blanket.
"Because I'm loveable…that's what Rosie tells me." He chuckles.
Jasper walks in with a coffee mug in hand. "Hey Edward, want some coffee? I made a pot in my room."
"Yes please and kick that dumbass Emmett out of here and take his rap music with him." I laughed.
"Will do buddy. Come on Em, let's go down and get some breakfast."
Emmett pops up off of the pullout bed. "Right on! Don't have to ask me twice."
I shook my head at his enthusiasm for food.
Jasper handed me a mug of hot coffee and I thanked him as they left for breakfast.
"I'll bring you back something man." Jasper says to me as they walked out the door.
"Sounds great, thanks."
I drank a bit of my coffee then decided to text Bella.
Good morning baby. Sleep well? E-
Not as good as when you're in my bed. B-
I'm never sleeping away from you ever again. E-
Promise? B-
I swear it baby! I love you so much. E-
I love you too. B-
I'll be waiting for you…XO E-
Can't wait to see you, muah! B-
I jumped in the shower then took my time shaving; I didn't need any nicks or cuts today.
I was dressed in my jeans and sweatshirt and ready to go when the guys made it back with my breakfast. I ate a few bites of my bacon and eggs then took the toast on the go.
"Let's go assholes. I've got a pretty girl waiting to marry me." I picked up the bag with my tux in it and started for the door.
"Can't wait for that ball and chain can you Eddie?"
"Damn straight fucker. Let's go." Jasper was laughing at the love we showed one another. Grabbing their tuxes we made our way to the chapel.
BPOV
The girls and I were dressed and ready. Leah just arrived and Alice was fixing her hair into a bun on top of her head putting bits of baby's breath around it. Leah's dress looks so beautiful on her. Jessica was standing by suctioning as Leah's needed it which was quite frequently. I was getting nervous again but I was trying to breathe through it, not wanting to take any Xanax before I walked down the aisle to Edward.
Jacob would be in the back of the church which was somewhat awkward but it was for Leah's well being so I had to stop thinking about my ex attending my wedding. He seemed fine with it so I was good with it too.
There was a knock at the door to our little dressing room so Ali went to answer it. It was almost six o'clock and the church was full of our guests.
Jasper was on the other side of the door when Ali opened it. He handed her a small velvet box with a card to give to me from Edward.
"Bella! This is from Edward!" She brought me the card and little box, practically jumping up and down until I opened them. "I didn't know he did this…he never asked for my help with this surprise. What a romantic idea." Her smile was as big as mine.
I opened up the monogrammed stationary card with his initials on the front. Inside he had handwritten:
My Dearest Bella,
You are the love of my life, I am so ready for you to become my wife. I want to spend the rest of my life showing you just how important you and Leah are to me. I feel like I have been living in a dream hoping that I never wake up from it, because you have made me so happy. You are such an amazing woman and I am truly blessed that you have chosen me to share your life with. I love you sweet Bella. Now walk your pretty little ass down that aisle and let's make this official. Please don't keep me waiting any longer.
All my love,
Edward
I dabbed a tissue to the corner of my eyes as I read Edward's card. He was so amazing and always made me feel so special. Alice was scolding me to contain the tears so that my makeup wouldn't be ruined. I giggled as I kept dabbing at them.
I opened up the box to a beautiful diamond bracelet. It was white gold with diamonds all the way around it. Spaced between the diamonds were X's and O's. I loved it. It was perfect. Alice helped me put it on as another knock at the door alerted us to the fact that it was time to marry my man.
In walked Charlie with his black tux. He looked so handsome with his slicked back dark hair and freshly groomed mustache. I'm sure Sue was impressed at the way her man cleaned up. He did look quite handsome.
"Hey Bells, you ready sweetheart?" He leaned down to place a soft kiss on Leah's cheek as he made his way to me.
"I'm ready dad." I took a deep breath.
"Let's get this show on the road then girls." He held his arm out to me and I placed my hand at the crook of his elbow.
The girls filed out and Sue helped them line up at the double doors of the chapel. Alice pushed Leah's wheelchair.
When melodies of soft music played elegantly from the piano, the double doors opened and Rosalie walked toward the altar with her bouquet of mixed flowers. As she took her place, Sue gave Alice a nod that it was her turn to go. She started to push Leah very slowly so that she could stop every so often and help her drop rose petals. I could hear my baby girl's happy noises as Ali helped her. I carefully peeked around the door so that Edward couldn't see me. I wanted to watch Leah and Ali. I saw several people wipe away tears as they focused on Leah, I glanced up at Edward, and he took my breath away. The smile on his face was stunning, big and proud as he watched Leah and Alice, the love that radiated off of him made my heart melt.
Alice pushed Leah to the front pews on the left side so she could be with Jessica. I could hear the suction as soon as she was with Jessica. Alice took her spot in front of Rosalie.
Sue gave me a soft pat on my waist and my dad gave me a peck on my cheek whispering that he was very proud of me and that he loved me. "Ready Bells?"
We waited until the piano started playing Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. Our vocalist sang softly as I slowly walked to my gorgeous love waiting for me at the end of the aisle.
For you, there'll be no more crying, To you, I'll give the world And the songbirds are singing, And I wish you all the love in the world, And the songbirds keep singing,
For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.
With my chin up, gripping my dad's arm to steady myself, we walked very slowly toward Edward. I connected to beautiful green eyes the second we were in the aisle. My eyes were glassy but no tears were falling. I was walking to the man of my dreams, the love of my life, my savior.
Edward never took his eyes off of me.
The glow of the candlelight in the chapel made him even more handsome. I saw him run his hand through his hair then he gripped his hands together in front of his body. He was taking deep breathes to steady himself.
When we reached the end of the aisle I could see better the emotion written on Edward's face. He shifted impatiently in place ready to take me from Charlie's side. I was smiling at not only his nervousness but at how relaxed I felt. I blinked back the tears that finally came to my eyes when I saw the absolute love radiating off of my soon to be husband.
Our ceremony was beautiful with the giving of the rings, the unity candle and the token that Edward gave to Leah of us becoming a family. The tiny ring he presented her with was so touching and there wasn't a dry eye in the chapel, except for maybe Jacob. But I had told him about Edward wanting to give Leah a sweet sentiment of our marriage a few weeks before the wedding.
The minister declared us man and wife and Edward took me into his arms. We kissed for what seemed minutes as giggles were heard from our guests.
Our kiss ended and Edward whispered to me, "I've never seen a more beautiful sight in my entire life baby. I'm so glad you're mine." With one more kiss, we turned around to face our friends and family and made our way to the end of the aisle and out of the church. We hopped into the limo with our groomsmen and bridesmaids and drove around until the church cleared. Pictures needed to be taken before the reception at the hotel.
Leah stayed for pictures then went home for her treatments and bedtime. Irina and Jacob would be staying with her for the rest of the night while Edward and I stayed at the hotel.
The reception was elegant and the food was remarkable. Soft jazz music played during dinner and then the DJ picked up the beat with popular songs and Emmett requested a few hip hop songs to boot.
The dance floor was packed with happy, drunken people celebrating mine and Edward's union. We were never any farther than arms distance from each other the entire evening.
"Beautiful girl…" Placing soft sweet kisses to the side of my head, Edward swayed me back and forth to the music.
"Hmm." Closing my eyes as I relished in the warmth of his arms around me.
"This has to be the happiest moment of my life, thank you baby."
I kissed his lips soft and sweet. "Baby, I can't imagine my life without you, thank you for loving me and Leah."
"My two favorite girls…"
"How about we say our goodbyes to our guests, then go to our suite and you can show me just how much you love me Mr. Cullen." I winked at him.
"Fabulous idea Mrs. Cullen." Tugging my bottom lip into his mouth we both moaned in anticipation of consummating our marriage.

Rose petals were sprinkled on the bed in our suite; candles were lit on the nightstand and around the room.
I wanted Bella's wedding night to be special, we weren't taking a honeymoon. We both thought it best to stay close to Leah.
I wanted to show Bella how much I loved her, to show her how incredibly lucky I was that she was my wife. I wanted to pamper her.
"Baby, as beautiful as you look in this wedding dress...I can't wait to get it off of you." I took my fingers running them down her neck to her breasts and over the outline of the bodice of her dress. My hands skimmed her waist to the back of her gown and then up to the tiny buttons that held the ivory material to her body. One by one as I unfastened each, I kissed her neck, her shoulder and all bare skin showing. Her head dipped toward me, leaning into my lips. Her eyes were closed and soft moans escaping her throat.
I skipped the last few buttons, slowly, carefully inching the dress from her body. Her nipples were erect and waiting for attention to be given to them. I took my time undressing her, not taking my eyes off of her breasts. I knew she was ready for me as she tried fumbling with my shirt buttons and belt buckle.
"Slow baby….let's take this slowly."
Leaning in to kiss sweet pink lips, our tongues met in a slow twirl. Tasting, sucking and teasing with our teeth. Bella's hands were fisted in my hair pulling me to her. I picked her up and out of the dress pooled on the floor. She was in nothing but ivory lacey bikini panties.
Laying her gently on the bed, I hovered over her kissing her passionately with more intent. I moved to her pebbled nipples, sucking one into my mouth as I played with the other.
Shedding out of my pants and boxers and pulling the shirt off my body, Bella's legs wrapped around my waist pulling me closer needing me to fill her desires. Damn, my desires…
I was stiff as steel, wanting and needing to connect to my wife, my love, my future, my everything.
I steadied myself on one arm as I lined myself up to her slick wet entrance. Her moaning was just about my undoing.
"I love you baby." As I pushed into her savoring her warm tight little body.
"Love you too, Edward." She kissed me and I felt more love than I've ever felt before.
This is my wife…my wife.
…
A/N: Did you all enjoy this chapter? I really hope that you all listened to the song Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. It may not have been a traditional wedding song for most, but for these two it was perfect. It's a beautiful song…love it.
Leah's part of the wedding was so sweet. I actually cried as I wrote that part. I don't know why but I imagined my daughter doing that and it just made me sappy.
Also, counseling for Bella? I think it was just what she needed. She will be a regular but I'm not going to write much about her sessions in the future. Just know that she is trying to take care of her fears.
Do you think Jacob felt out of place at the wedding? lol I bet so.
I'd love to hear what you think.
