I have had a million things going on lately and my time to write has been very limkited due to my father's illness and being in the hospital. Thankfully things are back on track for now and hopefull will stay that way for awhile. Thank you all for being so patient.


Chapter 29: Wedding Discussion

Edward POV

I couldn't believe it. My wildest dream had come true last night. Bella had agreed to marry me. I would never be apart from her. I was without a doubt the luckiest man alive.

I looked up at the ceiling and silently thanked God for the most wonderful blessing I could ever receive. The love of this beautiful angel laying by my side.

How beautiful she is to watch while she sleeps and even more beautiful when she's awake. I love her so much. I can hardly wait to marry her and watch her grow round with my child. I hope she wants more than one but if not oh well it doesn't matter to me. I will do whatever makes her happy.

I felt her stirring in my arms and when I looked down, I was looking into the deepest pools of chocolate I had ever seen. Her eyes were full of love and laughter and she was so radiant as wore the glow of love.

"Good morning, Beautiful. How was your night? Mine was wonderful with you by my side.", I sang to her. Tears welled up in her eyes but she was smiling. I was glad I could bring that smile to her face

"Oh Edward, that was so beautiful and that is one of my favorite songs. I love when you sing to me.", she said. I smiled back at her and picked up where I left off.

"And when I open my eyes and see your sweet face. It's a good morning beautiful day.

I couldn't see the light
I didn't know day from night
I had no reason to care
Well since you came along
I can face the dawn
Cause I know you'll be there

Good morning beautiful how was your night
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And when I opened my eyes and see your sweet face
Its a good morning beautiful day

I never worry if it's raining outside
Cause in here with you girl the sun always shines

Good morning beautiful how was your night
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And when I opened my eyes and see your sweet face
Its a good morning beautiful day
Good morning beautiful day
(Good morning beautiful)
It's a beautiful day
(Good morning beautiful)
Good morning
(Good morning beautiful)
What a beautiful day
(Good morning beautiful)", I finished singing and kissed her lips. Bella moaned as I kissed down her neck. "Edward I don't know what I did to deserve you but I'm so glad you are mine. I can hardly wait to be Mrs. Edward Cullen.", she told me

I stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes. It humbles me greatly when I see al the love she possesses for me in them.

"Bella, my angel, it is I who doesn't know what I did to deserve a gift so rare and more precious to me than anything in the world. I promise you I will never take it for granted and I will get on my knees and thank God above every single day and night for the gift of your love."

We laid in bed and talked for hours. I didn't care that the day was passing us by. All I cared about was holding my soon to be wife in my arms. The one and only soon to be Mrs. Edward Cullen.

"Well my love, what kind of wedding do you want? Something small and intimate or something more lavish? Anything you want Bella and it's yours. I don't care what it cost or what I have to do to get it. If your heart desires it then it will be yours.", I told her.

At first she said nothing just smiled up at me with unshed tears shining in her eyes. Then a thoughtful look came over her face.

After a minute or two of consideration she answered, "I want a Gone With The Wind themed wedding. Can I have that? Can I have a replica of Scarlett O' Hara's wedding gown and two similar dresses made for Rose and Alice? I want a huge wedding, Edward, the whole nine yards."

There was excitement in her eyes. Bella had never asked me for anything and I was not going to deny her this. I was going to make sure she had the wedding of her dreams.

"If that is what you want, then you will have nothing less. Now the question is when do you want to get married and where?", I told her.

"I want to get married in June and I want to get married right here on the ranch if that's ok with everyone.", she said. "I'm sure that will be just fine, Love.", I replied and went back to kissing her.

We lay in bed and discussed our plans for the wedding and honeymoon for a while longer then I made sweet passionate love to her.

Bella POV

Edward was going to make every dream come true. I would never have dreamed of finding someone like him but I thank God every day that he sent him to me.

After making love we lay spent and just cuddled for few minutes then got up. Just we stepped off the last step Jessica was on her way up.

She looked at us and snarled her nose at us while mumbling, "Glad someone can afford to lay in bed for half the day and shit still get done."

"You want to keep your job, Miss Stanley, you will mind who you are talking to or about. Am I clear?", Esme said as she was rounding the corner.

"Yes mam.", Jessica replied and went up the stairs.

"Lord I do wish that girl would put a muzzle on that mouth of hers.", Esme said more to herself than Edward and I.

"I guess she just can't take disappointment well.", I commented.

"Yes, well she had better very well start. I am sick and tired of all this insubordinate behavior and my patience is wearing thin. I am about ready to clean house and start fresh. I am sure there are others out there who would be grateful to have a job with a place to stay rent free in exchange for some light duty work.", she replied.

"Momma is in a bad mood, today.", Edward said. "What happened Mom?"

Esme POV

I had really realized it but I was being awfully grouchy.

"Bella, son, I'm sorry. I am a little upset. I just got word from the bank that one of my accounts for the children is messed up. I have been on the phone trying to get it straightened out and so it's just a big mess. I am going to have to go into town to the bank and straighten it out. Forgive me the both of you for being in a sour mood.", I explained.

"No problem, we understand.", Edward told me.

"Is there anyway I an help you, Esme?", Bella asked. Oh what a dear she is.

"No sweety, I can deal with this you go on and do whatever you had planned to do. Oh but do let me know if Jessica mouths off anything else. I am very serious about cleaning house and starting over fresh. I hate to fire her but enough is enough.", I replied.

"Sure thing, Mom", Edward said as I passed by them on my way upstairs. I had to get to the bank and get this mess straightened out.
