I was laying in bed holding on to Bella as she slept as close to me as possible. Her hair was splayed out across the pillow and my chest. Her wavy chestnut hair was intoxicating as I pressed my nose deep into it and inhaled. I smiled and remembered how our night had started out.
Dinner with our family was nice and my sister and sister-in-law and Bella's best friends made sure to give us embarrassing gifts that made Bella blush, but the sentiment was definitely there. These were things that we could treasure forever and look back on as we grow old together. We will always remember this night and how everyone that we love was here with us.
Then there was the letter to Bella from her mom. My heart nearly broke when I found her out on the beach just sitting there crying. I knew that she missed her mom. Every now and then when she is sleeping I would hear her talk to her mom in her sleep like she was right there with her. And who knows, maybe she is. If Bella got to see her mom in her dreams than who was I to take that away from her.
I walked up to Bella on the beach and sat behind her and held her while she read the letter. When she was done I told her again how much I love her and we just started to get a little too comfortable with each other in public when Charlie interrupted us. It was probably a really good thing that he came out when he did. I moved Bella so that she was no longer straddling me and Charlie sat next to us on the beach. That's when we exchanged all of the letters and everyone got to see the words and hopes and dreams that Renee had left us.
Bella and I left Charlie a short time later and headed back up to our room. Of course since we knew this was our last night together before the wedding we took full advantage of almost every surface in the suite. Including a wall or two. Of course nothing will beat the balcony… I had to shake that image from my mind or I would be waking Bella up for another round and I knew she had to be tired.
I watched Bella sleep for a while longer knowing that I wouldn't be sleeping with her tonight. That was my mom's idea. Definitely not mine! Apparently my mom had decided that the women would overtake our suite for the night before the wedding to do pre-wedding primping as Alice put it. I had to ask my dad what that meant. He said that the girls wanted to make sure that the all looked their best and that they were off limits to all of us. I think I even heard my dad whimper. I knew him and mom probably still did it like jack rabbits every night but if I had to suffer without Bella for a night he could definitely go one night without mom. Besides, that was just not something I wanted to think about.
Sleep finally overtook me a short while later and I dreamed of my beautiful bride in a white gown on the beach.
"Are you sure you want to do this tonight?" I asked Bella as she was sitting on the bathroom floor and I was holding her hair as she puked into the toilet. We were really hoping that this whole morning sickness thing had finally fizzled out but I guess we were wrong.
"Yes….." She said in between rounds of puking. "I want you to have your bachelor party."
"Bella, bachelor parties are for men who are sad that they are no longer going to be bachelors." I told her firmly. "I am definitely ready to be married to you."
Bella looked up at me and smiled as I handed her a cool wash cloth. "Thanks." She said as I helped her stand up. Apparently the vomiting has stopped for a while. "I really do want to go though Edward. At least we are going to be together. I don't know if I could handle you being out at a club without me and having all of those hot, younger, island girls rubbing themselves up against you. Especially the really skinny ones who don't have protruding bellies." She said while looking down and rubbing the barely noticeable baby bump under her shirt.
I kneeled down in front of her and kissed her slight baby bump. "I wouldn't even dream of rubbing up against anyone except for you." I smiled up at her. She looked down at me and smiled. I slowly kissed her belly again and began to lift up her shirt to kiss her bare skin. I rubbed my thumbs along her sides and I could feel her squirm under my touch. I kissed down her stomach to the edge of her pants. I brought my fingers to the button on her jeans and slowly undid the button. I could hear Bella moan above me. I slid the zipper down and moved my hands back to her hips. I nuzzled my nose into the open zipper and inhaled. I could smell her arousal and knew what she wanted.
I pulled down on the sides of her jeans and brought her panties down with them to her feet. She was leaning against the counter completely ready for me. I brought my tongue out and lightly traced over her lips. I knew that she would start to squirm soon so I lifted her up and set her the counter. She giggled at the cold marble feel of the counter beneath her. Then I slid her jeans and panties off her feet and spread her legs. I pulled her to the edge of the counter and placed her legs over my shoulders.
I wasted no more time and dove right in to her heated core. She leaned back against the mirror and started to moan. I lapped up her juices and continued my assault on her clit. I nibbled and sucked and knew she was getting close when she reached up and grabbed hold of my hair. I could feel her pushing me as close as she could and wanting more. I licked at her at an unbelievable pace and wrapped my left arm around her thigh and reached over to start rubbing her clit as my tongue kept working. She kept moaning and I could tell she was getting close. Bella suddenly let go of my hair and as I moved my eyes up to watch her I could see her hands reaching under her shirt and grabbing at her nipples. She kept rubbing and pinching at her breasts. Well I guess if she could play so could I.
With my hand that wasn't rubbing at her clit I reached down and pulled my cock out of my flannel pajama pants. I started rubbing my shaft up and down. I could feel the precum already on the head and used that as lubrication. I was very happy at this point that I'm good at multi-tasking.
"Ugghh, uhhh, Oh God Edward. Uhhh, soooo gooood… Ahhh….. So cl… clo….close." She nearly screamed. "Ahhhh…. Ahhhh…. Yesssss!"
Just as she came in my mouth I could feel myself release spill out. Bella slumped back against the mirror again and I nearly fell into a heap on the floor. God this woman will be the death of me. But what a way to go.
I stood up and cleaned myself off with a washcloth and then leaned over to kiss Bella sweetly on the lips. She of course had other plans. She snaked her arms around my neck and pulled me deeper into her mouth.
"Ugghhh, God Edward. I can taste myself on you. Mmm." She moaned into my mouth.
Damn that had to be one of the sexiest things in the world and I could feel my cock twitch back to life again. Bella pulled her warm wet center closer to me so that I was lined up with her entrance. My cock was now pulsing and just begging me to push into her. I slowly slipped inside her and started pumping back and forth. I could tell I was bringing her to the brink again so quickly.
"Come on baby, cum for me. Please" I begged her knowing I wouldn't last much longer with how she was clenching down on me.
"Ugghh, Edward, I love you….." She cried out as she milked my cock of everything inside it.
"I love you too, baby." I said as I spilled inside of her.
Six hours later we were standing in front of a club and waiting for our parents to get here. We told everyone that we didn't want to have the traditional bachelor/bachelorette parties. There was to be no t-shirts with suckers attached with the words 'Suck for a Buck' written on it. No silly straws in the shape of a penis for the girls and absolutely no strippers. I think the only one that was completely distraught by this was Emmett.
All we wanted was to have a nice and fun night out with all of our friends and family. Alice of course had her conditions too though. We had started out early tonight because one of Alice's rules was that I couldn't see Bella after midnight. So apparently the girls were all going to spend the night in the suite while I was sent to stay with my father for the night. I wasn't thrilled about the idea of not sleeping with Bella tonight but I understood tradition and I wasn't about to go against Alice.
We were standing in front of the club named 'Joy's of Twilight'. It was an interesting name and I figured we'd have to ask about it when we got inside. I was standing in front with my arms wrapped around Bella as we waited for my mom and dad and Charlie.
"Are you warm enough sweetie?" I asked her as I ran my hands up and down her bare arms. Bella was wearing a sexy little halter dress that was a sapphire blue color and hugged her figure well. You could see her slight baby bump and that made her look even sexier. Her skin was a light golden color from all of the sun we'd been in since we had gotten here. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun with some of her beautiful brown locks flowing down and I swear to god her breasts are already getting bigger. She has beautiful breasts and I really wanted to reach up and massage them for her but I was quickly brought out of those thoughts when I felt a hand come up behind me and clap me on the back.
"Hey guys are you ready?" Charlie asked.
"Hi dad. Yeah go ahead with Carlisle and Esme and we'll be right behind you." Bella said.
Charlie smiled at us and headed into the club with my parents. As the door opened we could hear the loud music thumping inside. Suddenly Bella reached up and grabbed my face and kissed me.
"I love you and tomorrow at this time we're going to be married." She smiled at me.
"I'm counting the minutes my love." I smiled at her.
"Really?" She smirked at me. "And just how many minutes would that be?"
"1162." I answered matter of factly. I could see she was doubting my mad skills so I explained. "It's now 7:38 pm and we will be married at 3 pm tomorrow afternoon, so like I said 1162 minutes and we will be husband and wife."
She leaned up and kissed me again. "You really are amazing aren't you?"
"You better believe it!" I kissed her on the forehead. "Come on, let's get inside." I said as I led her into the club. We walked in and quickly found our family in the back at a couple of large tables. Drinks were passed around and everyone was laughing and smiling.
"What do you want to drink babe?" I asked her.
"Um, I'll have a Sprite." She said.
I flagged down a waitress that was walking bye. "Can I have two Sprites?" I figured if Bella couldn't drink than I wouldn't either. Besides I wanted to make sure that there was not even a chance for a hangover on my wedding day.
"Sure, I'll be back with them shortly." she said.
"Dude, what took you guys so long?" Emmett yelled from across the table.
"I was just spending a little quality time with my almost wife before she gets hauled away from me tonight." I said while looking at Alice.
"You know the rules big brother. And besides this will be her last night as a single lady and we intend to make sure she gets pampered." Alice said while smiling at Bella. Then she stood up and whistled to get the attention of the DJ. When he looked in her direction she gave him a thumbs up and suddenly the club was being filled with the music of Beyonces' 'All The Single Ladies'. Bella and I burst out laughing.
"Come on Bella. Let's go get our groove on." My mom said next to her while Rosalie, Alice and Leah followed them out onto the dance floor.
"You know that's your wife that just said that." I said to my dad.
"Yep, it sure is. Man she's still got it though." My dad said as he watched my mom swinging her hips back and forth out on the dance floor.
"DAD!" Emmett and I yelled together while Jasper, Jake and Charlie laughed. This was definitely not something I needed to witness.
"So are you ready for tomorrow?" Jasper asked me from across the table and I could see Charlie waiting to see my answer.
"Jaz, I've been waiting for this day since the moment I held her in my arms after she hit her head when she passed out in the nurse's office on her first day of work." The guys all laughed at me.
"So did you guys write your own vows or are you going for the tradition 'til death do you part'?" Emmett asked.
"We've decided to write our own but to be honest I'm still struggling with mine a little. How do you tell the woman that your world completely revolves around that you don't know how you could ever live without her?" I said to Emmett, Jasper and Jacob but I realized that both my dad and Charlie were both listening in too. They both had similar looks on their faces and I knew that they knew exactly what I was talking about.
I looked over to the dance floor and saw the girls all dancing and having a great time. Just then the waitress returned with our drinks and set them on the table. I noticed that she had what looked like a phone number written on a napkin and I rolled my eyes. I mean seriously. She saw me walk in with Bella on my arm and she is really trying to give me her number. I decided to try and let her down easily.
"Um, I'm really sorry ma'am but I'm here with my fiancé and I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but I'm not interested in getting your phone number." I told her with my most apologetic smile.
Imagine my surprise when she burst out laughing.
"Actually sir, I was going to give this to the gentleman across from you." She said with a smile on her face while she nodded at Charlie. She slipped him the napkin and sent a little wave in his direction while she sauntered away.
I looked up at Charlie and he was a brilliant shade of red. Then I realized that I think I was blushing just as much as him after what I just did.
"Way to go son." Dad said.
I looked over to Emmett and Jasper and they were falling off their bar stools laughing at me.
I noticed that the song had finished and the girls made their way back over to the table to get something to drink.
"What's so funny?" Rosalie asked.
"Well, why don't you ask Edward?" Jasper said in between laughs.
"Yeah Eddie boy, tell the girls what just happened." Emmett said with tears rolling down his face.
Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up you big oaf.
Bella looked at me and I could see she was a little concerned. "Well, actually I thought the waitress was hitting on me but apparently I was mistaken." I told her.
"Yeah, it was freaking hilarious. Edward thought she was trying to slip him her phone number but apparently she was trying to give it to Charlie." Emmett laughed again.
Bella looked from my face and over to her father. Charlie smiled timidly and then started to look at his beer bottle like it held the answers to life's most important questions.
"Hey Dr. Cullen, how about a dance?" Bella asked me.
"Thank you." I said not wanting to be sitting with my brother and brother-in-law who still couldn't stop laughing.
Bella and I made our way out onto the dance floor as a slow song started to play. I knew it was Theory of a Deadman playing but I wasn't familiar with the song.
I held Bella close to me and her head was leaning against my chest as we swayed back and forth.
'You are not alone tonight. Imagine me there by your side. It's so hard to be here, so far away, from you. I'm counting the days 'til I'm finally done. I'm counting them down, yeah one by one. It feels like forever 'til I return, to you. But it helps me on those lonely nights. It's that one thing that keeps me alive.'
I held Bella close to me knowing that I wouldn't be with her tonight but we'd have forever to be together.
'Knowing that you, wait for me. Ever so patiently.
No one else knows that feeling inside. We hang up the phone without saying goodnight. Cuz it's the sound of your voice that brings me home. Cuz it's never been easy to say. But it's easier when I've gone away.
Knowing that you wait for me. Ever so patiently.
Yeah, you're everything I've dreamed of having and it's everything I need from you. Just knowing that you wait for me.
What I'd give, what I'd do. Knowing I'm not there for you. Makes it so hard to leave. What I'd give, what I'd do. Anything to get me home to you. This time I'll stay.
And you wait for me. Ever so patiently.
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having. And it's everything I need from you. Just knowing that you wait for me.' Bella looked up at me and smiled. "I'll be waiting for you tomorrow." I told her. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. We stood there for a moment when all of a sudden I felt big arms wrap around me. I turned around and saw that our entire family had made it out onto the dance floor. Emmett had a big grin on his face.
"What are you guys doing?" Bella asked.
"We're getting this party started." Leah said.
Suddenly we found ourselves in a huge circle of our family all dancing and singing along. Everyone was having a great time and we even noticed that Charlie had shared a dance or two with the waitress that gave him her phone number.
As the night went on I found myself having a great time. Emmett, Jasper and Jacob got my attention and pulled me off to the side.
"What's up guys?" I asked them.
"Well you see, Jake here kind of mentioned that Bella had a thing for Tom Cruise in the movie 'Top Gun' when she was growing up." Jasper said with a smirk on his face.
Jake was smiling too. "Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many times she watched that damn movie. I finally had to steal it from her so she wouldn't want to watch it every time we had a movie night."
"Soooooo…" Emmett drawled out.
"No way." I told them.
"Awwww, come on. It'll be fun." Emmett smiled.
"You're serious?" I asked the three of them.
"Yep. The girls will love it!" Jasper said.
"Yeah, and it'll make Bella turn as bright as a tomato." Jacob chimed in.
"Come on Eddie. Live a little." Emmett pleaded with me trying to use his puppy dog eyes.
"Shit, this is gonna be embarrassing." I said while hanging my head.
Apparently this was something the guys had been planning for a while because the next thing I knew I was being pulled into a back room and having a white Navy uniform thrust into my hands.
"You guys seriously got costumes and everything?" I asked them.
They all smiled at me as they proceeded to change into the uniforms. I finally conceded and got changed myself. We walked back into the hallway and I could see Bella out on the dance floor with the girls totally oblivious to what was going on around her. Then I saw my dad talking to the DJ and I noticed that Charlie had a video camera and was getting ready to capture this all on tape.
"No way am I doing this and being filmed by my soon to be father-in-law." I stated firmly.
"Oh yes you are. Remember, Bella will be putty in your hands after this." Emmett encouraged me.
"Shit. I really will get you fuckers back for this someday." I said to all three of them.
Just then the song that was playing finished and the lights dimmed low.
"We have a special treat for you guys tonight. Is there a Bella in the club tonight?" The DJ asked.
I could see Bella looking around at the girls and they had the same confused looks on their faces. Bella timidly raised her hand. I guess that was my cue. I walked out with a microphone and the three stooges followed me.
"You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips." I could see Bella's eyes grow huge. Then Jake joined in.
"And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips." he sang.
"You're trying hard not to show it. Baby…..but baby…..oh baby I know it." I sang.
Then all three of them joined in. "You've lost that lovin' feeling. Whoa, that lovin' feeling. You've lost that lovin' feeling now it's gone, gone, gone. Woooooh…"
The girls all had their hands over their mouths like they wanted to scream. Bella's eyes were huge and I now knew why I was willing to embarrass myself in front of all of these people.
"Now there's no welcome look in your eyes, when I reach for you." Jacob had taken over and started to sing to Leah.
"And now your starting to criticize little things I do." Emmett sang to Rose.
"It makes me just feel like crying." Jasper of course the more emotional one sang to Alice while we all chimed in on the 'Baby' part then he continued "Cause baby, something in you is dying."
"You've lost that lovin' feeling. Whoa, that lovin' feeling. You've lost that lovin' feeling now it's gone, gone, gone. Woooooh…"
It was my turn to start again. So I got down on my knees in front of Bella and sang. "Oh baby, baby, I'd get down on my knee's for you." The guys were in the background doing the 'Bah bum, Bah bum's'. "If you would only love me, like you used to do. Yeah."
"We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday. So don't, don't, don't let it slip away." We all sang together.
Then Jacob and I stood on one side of the girls and Jasper and Emmett stood on the other and we went back and forth with the rest of the song.
"Baby (Baby)"
"Baby (Baby)"
"I beg of you please (Please)"
"I need your love (I need your love)"
"I need your love (I need your love)"
"So bring it on back (So bring it on back)"
"Bring it on back (So bring it on back)"
"Bring back that lovin' feeling. Whoa that lovin' feeling. Bring back that lovin' feeling. Cause it's gone…. gone…gone…., and I can't go on. Noooooo." We all finished the song standing right in front of our partners holding onto their hands and down on one knee.
Bella looked absolutely beside herself. I don't think she was even this embarrassed after my dad found us in the doctor's lounge at work. I kissed her hand and she threw her arms around me. I stood up and picked her up with me while the entire club went nuts. You could hear everyone cheering and laughing. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked down and saw a woman standing there.
"Excuse me, are you Dr. and Mrs. Cullen?" She asked me.
"Well, we are the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, yes." I smiled at her.
"Well, my name is Joy and I'm the owner of this establishment. I would like to buy you and your family a round of drinks for the wonderful and unexpected entertainment." She smiled at us.
"Thank you so much Joy. That's very kind of you." Bella said.
"Just follow me back to your table." Joy said.
We gathered the rest of our family and walked back over to our tables. I noticed that Emmett, Jasper and Jacob all had themselves quite busy with their women. I had to laugh because at least I wouldn't be the only one sleeping alone tonight. They would all have to suffer right along with me.
"So what can I get for all of you?" Joy asked. Everyone told her what they wanted. Bella got a virgin daiquiri and I opted for a beer. I know that I was trying not to drink because Bella couldn't but I definitely think I deserved one after that performance.
Joy came back with the waitress that had been flirting with Charlie all night and passed out the drinks.
"So Joy, I guess I understand part of the name of your club, but why Joy's of Twilight?" I asked her.
"Well, you see Twilight is my favorite part of the day. It's just after sunset and you know that soon a new day will come. And I really just liked the name." She smiled at us. "Now, a toast to the soon to be Dr. and Mrs. Cullen."
"Here, here." Everyone shouted while they raised their glasses. I clinked my glass with Bella's and leaned in to give her a kiss on the lips.
"You know I'm a very lucky man." I whispered in her ear.
"Not as lucky as you're gonna be if you get to keep that uniform." Bella whispered seductively in my ear.
I looked at my watch and it was 10:25. "Bella, have you given any of the girls a key to our suite yet?" I asked her.
"Not yet." She smiled at me.
"That means we have at least an hour before they are going to kidnap you." I told her.
"How fast can we make it back to the hotel?" She asked.
I grabbed her hand to stand up and was immediately pushed back down by the evil little cock blocking pixie herself.
"Oh I don't think so Edward. All of us will be heading back to the hotel now." Alice smiled at me while I glared at her. "Dad, I believe that you and Edward will be sharing a room tonight, right?"
"Yes dear." He laughed. I couldn't believe this. My entire family was against me.
We made our way out of the club after stopping and thanking Joy on our way out. Bella and I were both pouting but I promised her that I would definitely be keeping the costume.
We got back to the hotel and I walked with Bella and the girls back up to our suite to pick up my bag. When we got there they were nice enough to at least give us a few minutes alone together to say goodnight.
"I love you Bella. I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"I love you too Edward and I'll be the one in white." She giggled.
I hugged her tightly to my body and kissed her once more before Rosalie and Alice appeared in the doorway to pull Bella back into our room. I watched as they shut the door and I smiled to myself. Tomorrow I'll be married to Bella!
Okay, okay so I know I said that we'd get to the wedding this chapter, but I was just having too much fun writing the bachelor/bachelorette party. Who wouldn't want to have Edward dressed up in a white navy uniform and singing a little Righteous Brothers. I would, I would!
Anyways, I promise next chapter is the wedding. I hope you all take a little pity on me for not updating sooner. If you want you can yell at me in your review! You guys have me so excited. I'm literally 65 reviews away from 1000. How freaking cool is that!
Remember to send me a little something and let me know if you Love it? Liked it? Or Hated it?
I'm having surgery this week. Again. Boo Hoo. But unfortunately it's something that is needed and long overdue. It would definitely make my day if you guys could review though! It'll give me something to read while I recover!
Thanks again to everyone for sticking with me. We're almost to the end.

P.S.
The 'Theory of a Deadman' song is called "Wait For Me" and it is absolutely beautiful to listen to. If you haven't heard it I suggest listening to it! It's a great song!
