Chapter 34

"Www-what did you just say?" she stuttered. Was Tony-Tony Stark, world's greatest inventor and iron avenger- asking her to marry him? I mean it was obvious that they were in love and always would be, but marriage? Had he truly lost it?

"Bella, you heard what I said. I asked you to marry me." Tony sighed. Honestly, this had gone much better in his head. You see the image in his head was Bella saying yes, hugging him excitedly and them planning a wedding. And that was what Alice said was going to happen. The pixie lied which meant she wasn't getting her Jimmy Choos.

"But-I… you- YES!" she squealed smiling widely. Tony let out a huge sigh of relief and hugged her close. Thank you Alice for being freakishly right all the time, he thought happily.

"Come on; I wanna tell Alice and Renee! They are going to be so happy!" she said getting up and dragging Tony by the arm, which stopped her. "Why aren't you coming?"

"Aren't you forgetting my dad? You know, the guy whose gonna be your daddy-in-law soon?" he teased and Bella ran past him to Howard.

"Uh Bella, is everything alright?" Howard asked cautiously.

"Everything's perfect, now let's go!" she said grabbing his arm when a report called on Bella.

"Uh Miss Swan, what do you have to say about your relationship with Mr. Stark?"

"I haven't been happier, but let's not focus on me and Tony. Let's focus on the children who need homes. Along with the animals in the sea who are getting poisoned by the waste in the ocean. Cause who doesn't love those cute little baby seals and the penguins? Cause I surely do. So that's it! God Bless America and God Bless Iron Man! Bye!" she said rushing off stage with Howard then grabbed Tony and ran outside to the car.

"What did you say to her, Tony?" Howard asked as he was thrown into the car along with Tony. "Cause right now, Bella looks like you did when you ate all your cake at your 4th birthday."

"You will never let me live that down, will you?" he asked but continued before his father could answer "I asked her to marry me and she said yes."

"That's great! I always wanted a daughter-in-law." Howard smiled. Tony shook his head and chuckled at his fiancée who was jumping up and down in her seat.

"Bella, honey, please calm down." He smiled, but she kept jumping up and down "I know you're excited, but really calm down."

"I can't calm down, Tony! I'm just so happy!" she squealed and Happy looked at them through the rearview window back at them.

"What are you so happy about?" he asked and Bella clasped her hands on both men's' mouths.

"Don't say anything yet!" she growled. All three men stared at Bella in complete shock but complied. The next thing they knew she was bouncing in her seat again. Well a few things were clear to Tony. The first was that he was going to be getting married. The second was that he was going to be marrying Bella. The third was that his life was finally making sense again, well more like beginning to make sense. The fourth was that he never realized how much Bella really meant to him.

As soon as Happy parked the car, Bella ran to go find Alice, who was conventionally waiting outside with Jasper. "Alice, I'm-"

"Getting married? I already know; who do you think helped him get ready to pop the question?" she asked raising a disbelieving eyebrow "I mean come on, if he did it without my help, he most likely would have burned something down."

"Ha-ha very funny, Hale. And if you must know I got threw it perfectly fine thank you very much." Tony huffed and Bella kissed his cheek quickly before gasping.

"Wait a second- where's my mom?"

"She's inside talking to my momma." Bella ran inside which was later followed by loud squeals of excitement.

"And I thought you were bad, darlin'." Jasper joked. Sticking her tongue out at her husband and skipped inside to find Bella jumping up and down, while Edward looked sullen in a corner.

"It's your own fault." She sang in her high soprano voice but was low enough for only Edward to hear. Edward growled and left the room as Alice skipped outside. Alice was greeted by the squeals of delight from Renee, Rosalie and Esme. This is going to be perfect, Alice thought happily

Three Months later…

Alice groaned as she dragged her hand over her face and tried to make an attempt to calm down Bella… again. It had been three months ago that Tony had proposed to her and they had planned the wedding. Bella had been taking everything in perfect stride, until the day finally came where she had to marry him. So of course, being Bella, she was a complete and total train wreck. It didn't matter that she was a world class agent working for S.H.I.E.L.D that caused her to jump into burning buildings, almost get killed by the Hulk, having to get several bullet wounds removed, or the fact that she had been capture plenty of times. No it wasn't any of that; it was that she was going to be marrying Tony. She had been with him for months, seen the worst sides of him, she had even meet her supposedly dead soon to be father in law, and more. But yet she was still scared as hell. Alice placed her hands on Bella and looked her deep in the eyes calmly. "Bella buddy, you've got to calm down, kay? You're going to be absolutely fine. Won't she Rose?"

Over the time that Alice and the rest of the Cullens (minus Edward who was off sulking every now and then), rose had began to get close to Bella. Not as close as she was with Alice, but close enough. "Of course, she will. Bella, everything's ready to go-all you have to is look beautiful and not trip down the aisle. And you already have all of that covered!" Rose smiled hugging her. Bella was paled even more and she looked at them horrified.

"what if I trip down the aisle? I always was clumsy when I was nervous!" she exclaimed. Rose palm face and Alice groaned.

"PEPPER, NATASHA! GET IN HERE!" Alice screamed. Pepper and Natasha ran in confused and Alice pointed to Bella. "One of you please slaps some sense into her."

"Bella you need to relax, you'll be fine." Pepper soothed and Bella shook her head furiously.

"What if I mess up or do worse, Pepper?" she said as the four girls guided her towards the entrance of the chapel. Bella shook her head and tried to break free of their grasp when they reached Charlie.

"Bella, Bella what's wrong?" he asked scared and looked to Alice who rolled her eyes slightly tired and unenergetic as usual.

"She's freaking out and making herself paranoid." Alice grumbled annoyed as she glared at the nervous brunette. Shaking her head some more, Bella tried to escape them but they were too strong. Natasha shook her head and grasped Bella by the shoulders.

"Bella, you need to calm down right now okay? Everything's going to be fine. We just practiced this the day before yesterday. All you have to do is stand there, saw your vow that you wrote, repeat word after the pastor and then say those two little words and it'll be all over with." Natasha said smiling. Bella shook her head causing Natasha to groan. "I'll be right back."

Natasha walked out into the church and went to the pew were Fury and Wolverine were. "We have a problem. I need you to come with me Logan." Wolverine exchanged a glance with Fury but nodded and followed her out to a nervous Bella.

"Bells, what's going on?" Logan asked and Alice turned to point at Bella accusingly.

"This one is freaking out about marrying a guy that she's been seeing for months now! And it's not like they haven't had sex or anything, because they have! So why she's freaking out is beyond me!" Alice shouted causing even Wolverine and Natasha to jump back a bit. Wolverine walked up to Bella and raised a hand before slapping her slightly.

"Get a hold of yourself Swan. You're an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D and save lives, you can marry Stark." He said before smirking "Unless, your too chicken to marry him. 'Cause if that's the case I'll just go tell everyone…"

Logan trailed off suggestively and Bella shook her head stubbornly before poking him in the chest. "Are you calling me chicken, Wolvy?" she growled and Alice gaped.

"Are you kidding me? All it took was an insult on her ego?" Alice screamed. Bella smiled at Alice widely, but the pixie simply glared and pointed to Charlie. "Get her down the aisle to Tony before I kill her."
