Living a Lie

Chapter 33

BPOV

Rose's wedding. The happiest day of her life. We were in a room at the church getting ready.

"Rosalie, sweetie, are you ready?" Mrs. Hale asked. Rose nodded.

"Someone go get Jasper," Rose said, near hyperventilation.

"I'll do it. Be right back," I volunteered. I nearly ran down the hall to go get Jasper. "Jazz!" I said as I was approaching him. Everyone turned around and my cheeks turned red. "Rose needs you," I said. Edward came over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I leaned up, kissed him, and pulled away. "I have to go back there with her. Love you," I said as I went to Jasper and towed him behind me.

"Why does she need me?" he asked.

"She didn't say." We finally got to the room and Rose was nearing hyperventilation.

"Rose! Breath!" I instructed.

"What do you need, Rose?" Jasper asked.

"Could you walk me down the aisle?" she asked.

"Of course," he said. She went over and hugged him. "You look beautiful," he commented.

"I feel like I'm going to puke!" she admitted.

"Rosalie Hale! You better not puke!" Alice scolded.

"I won't, I'm just nervous," she sighed.

"It's time!" Mrs. Hale said. I walked down the aisle first. When I got to where I was supposed to stand, Alice came down. She stood in front of me and turned to face the door, like I was. Next were the flower girls, which were Rose's nieces and the ring bearer, Jasper's little brother. Next, the song changed to the bridal song. Rose and Jasper came down the aisle and Mrs. Hale stood from her seat, and everyone followed.

I felt a few tears roll down my cheeks. Rose looked amazing. Alice handed me a tissue. I dabbed my eyes. I looked over at Emmett. His eyes were full of joy and happiness and he had the biggest smile on his face. When Rose and Jasper got to the altar Jasper took his place next to Edward. The vows were read and the rings were placed on their fingers.

"You may kiss the bride," the pastor said. Emmett leaned down and kissed Rose, wrapping his arms around her waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck. Everyone clapped and cheered. As soon as the music played we started walking out. First Rose and Emmett, the flower girls and ring bearer, Alice and Jasper, and finally Edward and me.

"You look stunning," he whispered.

"I could say the same about you. But where is our daughter?" I asked.

"With your mom. She is sitting in a pew."

"Oh, alright." When we finished walking out, Edward and I waited for my mom so we could get Nessie.

"Hello sweetie! You look beautiful!" my mom swooned. She handed me Nessie who now had long brown hair with bronze highlights and was about twenty pounds. She could now say 'mama,' and 'dada'.

"Hey, mom! Thanks for watching Nessie while we stood up there," I said.

"No problem! Oh! Here comes your father!" she said. My dad came over and kissed my mom on the cheek. I stood there wide-eyed, and I sensed that Edward's expression was no different than mine.

"What? Your father and I are together again," Renee smiled.

"That's great!" I said. Edward took Nessie and went over to talk to his parents. I went over to Emmett and Rose. "Congrats!" I said giving them a hug.

"I am so glad we are finally married!" Emmett said, wiping invisible sweat from his forehead and sighing in relief. We laughed.

We all headed over to the hall where the reception was held.

"Can we please have the bride and groom step onto the dance floor for their first dance as a married couple?" the deejay called. Rose and Emmett went out onto the dance floor and started swaying to the beat of Stickwitu by the Pussycat Dolls, which was their song. Everyone started joining in. Edward came over to me.

"Could I have this dance?" he smiled his crooked smile. I just smiled and shook my head slightly, thinking I can't believe he is making me dance and placed my hand in his. He pulled me closer to him and he started leading. I rested my head on his shoulder. "Your mom won't let Nessie out of her sight," Edward laughed. "She set up a play pen outside and she is sitting there with her. Your mom is truly happy now."

"She looks it," I said with a smile. When the song ended I went up to the deejay. He nodded and handed me a microphone.

"Excuse me? Could I have everyone's attention? Hi, I'm Bella Cullen and I am the proud sister-in-law of Rosalie and the somewhat ashamed sister of Emmett. I'm kidding, Em. Well, anyway, I would like to say how proud I am of my big brother and my sister-in-law and best friend. I wrote a song for you two, and I hope you enjoy it. Edward, could you go get the keyboard so I can have the tune, please?" I asked. He nodded and went out to his Volvo. He came back in a few seconds later with a keyboard and he plugged it into an outlet.

"Alright, baby, I'm ready," he said. I nodded. When he started playing the beginning I started talking.

"This if for you, Rose and Em, it's called Dreams.

Dreams are just dreams
When it's stuck inside your head
And all it takes is a little help from you
You know it's true
That dreams are for real
When you see what I see
And you feel it too
We took the longest road
Just to make it harder
Let's do it all again
It only makes us stronger

Dreams
I guess we're just made of dreams
Nothing else matters
As long as we believe
I'm looking at you
And I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey's over
And all my dreams come true
I dream of you

What do you see when you look inside your heart
A little thought can walk a thousand miles
And change your life when dreams lead the way
The impossible is suddenly in sight
Every step you take just brings it all together
You've got to keep the faith when all seems lost forever

Dreams
I guess we're just made of dreams
Nothing else matters
As long as we believe
I'm looking at you
And I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey's over
And all my dreams come true
I dream of you

You're the one
That keeps my hope alive
My vision clear
I'll spend my life with you Conquer fear
We'll make it through

Dreams
I guess we're just made of dreams
Nothing else matters
As long as we believe
I'm looking at you
And I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey's over
And all my dreams come true
I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you." When Edward took his fingers off the pressed keys everyone clapped and Rose came over and hugged me tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you Bella!" she said. We pulled apart and I wiped her tears.

"Stop crying, your make-up is smearing," I laughed.

"Alright!" the deejay announced. "Men, pick a lady you did not come here with!" Edward came up to us.

"Would you like to dance with me, Rose?" he asked. She went over to him and Jasper came up behind me.

"Bella, do you want to dance?" he asked. I turned around, looked him up and down once and a wicked smile crept onto my face.

"No," I said, then grinned and started walking away. He grabbed me and spun me around. "Well, I guess I will, only because it's you," I laughed. Emmett and Alice danced too. The song was a faster one and didn't have any words. When the song was over Edward and I went to the bar. I got a beer and he had a shot of tequila and then ordered a beer.

"Looks like you're getting drunk tonight," I laughed.

"I can handle my alcohol pretty well, Bella."

By the end of the night Edward was drunk and passed out in the Volvo. I was proud of myself for only having one beer. I bid my farewells to everyone and went to the Volvo and drove home with Edward and Nessie.

When I parked the car I went over to Edward's side and helped him get out. I then opened the back door and got Nessie out. I walked inside, helping Edward and holding Nessie and I managed to get Nessie in her crib and help Edward get ready for bed. Once he was out of his slacks and dress shirt he went straight to bed and passed out again. I sighed and changed out of my dress and put a sports bra and basketball shorts on.

The next morning I woke up to Edward still asleep. I sighed and got out of bed to go make some coffee, knowing that if I woke up after being as drunk as him I would need some. I walked out into the kitchen and found Jasper eating cereal.

"Good morning!" I greeted perkily.

"Morning," he yawned.

"Where's Alice?" I asked.

"Passed out in bed. Didn't you hear her last night? She was so drunk when we got home," he smiled while shaking his head, probably remembering the night before.

"Like brother, like sister," I muttered. "Edward got drunk too. He told me he knew how to handle his alcohol," I laughed.

Once the coffee had started I went back into our room. I crawled on the bed next to Edward who was just waking up.

"Good morning, baby," I said sweetly.

"What time is it?" he grumbled.

"10:45 in the morning. I made you coffee. How do you feel?" I asked. I was trying to keep the smirk that was creeping onto my face off, but I was unsuccessful.

"Like I was hit by a truck."

"That passes. C'mon let's get you some coffee," I said as I handed him some sweat pants. He put them on and slowly made his way to the bathroom. He turned the water on in the sink and started splashing it to his face. He dried his face off and came back over to me. He looked terrible. I giggled a little but stopped when I saw the death glare on his face. I took his hand and we went out to get coffee.

"Morning Edward!" Jasper said loudly.

"Damn it, Jazz!" he said, clamping his hands over his ears. Jasper and I were laughing uncontrollably because we barely see Edward drunk and it was all new to us. He muttered something under his breath that I didn't understand and went to go get coffee. I sat down by Jasper and took a bite of his cereal.

"Bella!" he whined. "That was the biggest bite ever!"

"Want it back?" I asked as I swallowed.

"Yeah," he said. "Right now!"

"Too bad!" I said and kissed his cheek. He chuckled. Edward came over and sat by me. I took a sip of his coffee when he put it down. I coughed afterwards.

"Gross, Edward! Didn't you put sugar in this?" I asked.

"Nope," he said smiling.

Alice came out of her room and grabbed a coffee mug and filled it up.

"Hey baby," Jasper said going over to her. He rubbed her shoulders. She basically chugged her coffee. She finished it within 2 minutes. She drank it the same way Edward did, black.

"You guys are so gross, drinking your coffee with nothing in it."


Alice's wedding was three months after Rose's.

"Breath, Alice," I ordered. Unlike Rose, Alice was hyperventilating from being excited instead of nervous.

"Where is my dad?" she asked anxiously.

"I'm right here sweetie," Carlisle said walking into the rom. He went over to Alice and gave her a hug. "Calm dow. Jasper is nervous enough for the both of you." Wow, Jasper nervious? Alice sure had an affect on him. Jasper was never nervous.

Alice took a few deep breaths.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yeah," she said while letting out a breath. There was a knock on the now closed door.

"Who is it?" I called.

"The pizza man," Edward laughed. I opened the door. He came in and when he saw Alice a smile played on his lips. He went over to her and hugged her.

"You look beautiful," he told her.

"Thanks," she smiled. Edward turned around and came over to me.

"You better not kiss me if you don't want to face the wrath of the Alice-bride," I laughed. He pulled me into his embrace and kissed my cheek.

"There are no words to describe how beautiful you are," he whispered against my neck.

"We're about to start. Go try calming Jasper down." He kissed my forehead and walked out with a good luck to Alice.
Rose and I went to join the guys to walk down the aisle. After Jasper went Emmett and then Edward. After they went and the song changed Rose walked down the aisle, then me, then the flower girls and ring bearer. Finally the song changed and we saw Alice and Carlisle coming down the hall. I looked over to see Jasper's eyes light up. I looked back to Alice who had a few tears falling down her cheeks. I noticed my cheeks had some drops of moisture on them too. I used the tissue I brought to dab my eyes.

Esme stood and everyone followed her lead. When Alice made it to the altar she kissed Carlisle on the cheek and he went by Esme and took is seat.

The vows were read and the rings were exchanged.

"I now announce you husband and wife; Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Hale. You may kiss the bride," the pastor said happily.

Jasper leaned down and took Alice's face gently in his hands and kissed her. the wedding song came on and everyone made their way down the hall.

Edward and I met up with my mom and got our now one year and three month old daughter.

When we got to the hall my mom took Renesmee again and kept an eye on her for us. She could now successfully crawl and got around pretty fast so she needed to be watched at all times.

Edward didn't have any alcohol aside from the champagne from the toast due to his last encounter with alcohol at Rosalie's wedding. I had a beer and the champagne.

"Can I have Miss Bella Cullen up to the microphone so she can sing the song for the bride and groom's first dance?" the deejay asked. I walked up and grabbed themicrophone.

"Before I start, I would like to say something. Congratulations Al and Jazz! I have known these two since we were toddlers. I have seen them go through hard times together and celebrate the good times too. I want you guys to know that I expect to have a niece or nephew," I laughed and so did everyone else. "Well I promised you a song for your wedding and with Edward's help I got one put together with music. Edward and I spend many sleepless nights writing music for it and recording the music."

"That's probably not the only thing you two were doing on those nights," I heard Emmett call and everyone laughed.

"Thanks for that Em," I sighed, my cheeks feeling hot. I got back to the point, "Alright, now to the song. It's called I'll Be." The music started playing and I raised the microphone.

"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
And you're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive, and not dead
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I`ll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I dropped out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead,
I tuned in, I turned on, remembered the thing that you said.
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your life." I pulled the microphone away from my face and everyone started clapping. I went over to Alice and she hugged me tightly.

"That was perfect!" she nearly screamed. She went over to the deejay and talked to him and he nodded. She motioned for Jasper and he handed her a CD. She gave the CD to the deejay and pointed to something on the back. She walked away and smiled at me which is never a good sign.

"This dance is for Edward and Bella Cullen as a thank you from Alice and Jasper," the deejay announced. My song Angel started playing. I then realized that the CD she gave the deejay was my CD. Edward took my hand in his and we started dancing.

"I am going to have to kill your sister," I sighed. "And my brother too." Edward shook his head and chuckled.

"I don't think Jazz and Rose would take it very easily if you kill their spouses," Edward chuckled.

After our dance I stomped over to Alice. "Why the hell did I have to dance?!" I complained. "This is your wedding not mind!"

"Bella, seriously you need to calm down. I have people asking me for your CD now. You can thank me later," she mused. I couldn't believe it. Alice had advertised my CD at her wedding. I went back over to Edward.

"Did you win?" he asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes and no," I said and he gave me a confused look to show I needed to explain. "I didn't win the fight but Alice advertised my CD by having us dance to that song and now people are asking her where to get that CD. So, yes but no."

"Congrats, baby. You're becoming a little more famous," he said smiling. I smiled weakly back not knowing if this is what I wanted. Edward read my expression and his eyes softened a little.

"What's wrong?" he asked brushing some hair behind my ear that had fallen from my curly hairdo.

"I don't know if I want to be famous. I mean yeah I like the idea of it but I don't know if this is what I really want."

"Just tell Alice that. She'll understand." Edward pulled me into his arms and I wrapped my arms around his neck and we started dancing. My thoughts were jumbled and I could only make a few thoughts out.

I didn't want to be famous because I felt it would tear me away from my friends and family. Although, I liked the idea of people listening to my voice and liking it. I let it go and tried to enjoy the rest of my night.

"Alright guys! Grab a lady of your choice! The only catch is that it can't be the lady you came here with." I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned to see Jasper. I kissed Edward's cheek then went to dance with Jasper. Edward danced with Rose and Emmett danced with Alice.

The song was a faster one, Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot. Jasper and I started dancing but didn't grind. We noticed that no one else was grinding either. All six of us ended up dancing as a group; us three girls grinding against each other. We were all laughing and singing along. When the song finished I went back to Edward.

"Miss me?" I asked. A grin lit up his face.

"Terribly," he laughed.

"I'm going to check on Renesmee," I said starting to walk away. Edward was close behind. I went over to where my mom was sitting. She was holding Nessie and when she saw Edward and me come over she reached her hands out for us. I took her from my mom.

"Hi, sweetie," I said tickling her stomach and she laughed. "Thanks for watching her," I thanked my mom.

"No problem," she said. "It's always a pleasure to watch my granddaughter."

I handed Nessie to Edward and sat down by my mom.

"So where are you staying?" I asked.

"At your father's house," she shrugged.

"Oh," I said simply.

"I think I am going to be staying there for a while," she said not looking at me.

"That's nice," I smiled. I was thrilled that my mom was going to live less than thirty miles from me.

I went over to Edward and kissed his cheek. He set Nessie down by my mom again and we went over to the dance floor. We grinded to Ba Bump by the Black-eyed Peas. Edward had his hands on my hips and I had mine around his neck.

When the song was over we went over to talk to Rose, Emmett, Jasper and Alice.

"Hey guys!" I called.

"Hey Bella! Hey Edward!" Alice called back.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Waiting for Carlisle so we can do the daddy-daughter dance." She said. Rose's face fell slightly.

"Can I have the bride and her father come up to the dance floor for the daddy-daughter dance?" the deejay called. Alice went up to the dance floor to meet Carlisle. When the music started Rose walked out.

"Rose!" I called.

"What?" she asked when she stopped walking.

"Why did you walk out?" I asked though I clearly knew.

"I'm not ready to watch that," she sighed and looked down.

"Alright. Do you want to be alone?" I asked.

"Yes please," she whispered. I walked back inside.

"Hey, Bells," Charlie called. He was standing by Edward.

"Hey, dad," I greeted. He held out his hand to dance. I gave him a worried look.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked.

"C'mon, Bells," he said impatiently. I gave him my hand and we walked out to the dance floor. The song was Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.

"You and mom, huh?" I asked casually.

"Now, Bells, that's not any of your business," he said disapprovingly. I sighed.

"Just don't let her get away this time," I warned.

"I wasn't planning on it, Bella," he chuckled. When the song came to an end I kissed him on the cheek. He went over to my mom and I went over to Edward.

"How was it?" he asked smiling.

"Interesting," I said.

"You look tired," he noted. I realized that I felt like my legs were going to five out.

"Just a little," I yawned. Edward chuckled.

We went over to my mom to get Nessie and wished everyone a good night and congratulated Alice and Jasper.

When we got home I put Renesmee in her crib and went back into our room with Edward. I went over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He put his hands on my hips and leaned down to kiss me. I pulled him closer, trying to deepen the kiss. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We went over to the bed and he laid us down.

I started taking Edward's shirt off and he helped me. He then started taking my shirt and bra off. One of his hands moved up to take my breast into his grasp. I moaned loudly. I unbuttoned Edward's pants and he kicked him off. I then removed my jeans and panties. He took his boxers off. Edward pulled the blanket over us

Edward started kissing down my body. He moved his hands down my body, caressing it. His hands stopped at my upper thighs. He started rubbing them and moving to my inner thigh. One of his fingers went inside of me. I moaned loudly. He started pumping his fingers in and out. He put another finger into me.

"Ed…Edward," I moaned. I could feel the muscles in my stomach tightening and it was getting hard to hold on. "I need you in me," I moaned. He removed his fingers and started kissing my lips. He entered into me and I moaned into his mouth. He started bucking his hips and every time I came closer and closer to my release.

After a few more minutes I came and yelled Edward's name. He muttered a few profanities as he came and collapsed. He took my face in his hands my kissed me.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too." We rolled so I was on my knees on the sides of his body straddling him. At the worst time possible there was a knock on the door. I groaned.

"Go away," I said as I leaned down and kissed him. There was another knock.

"We're coming in on three!" Rose yelled. "1, 2…"

"You better not!" I interrupted.

"3!" and then Rose and Emmett came into the room. I rolled off of Edward and made sure the blanket covered me.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked.

"We have something really important to tell you!" Rose nearly screamed. I looked at her with confused eyes. She looked at Emmett and smiled. "I'm pregnant!" she screamed. I screamed with excitement.

"Let me get dressed and we are going to celebrate!" I shrieked. Emmett and Rose left so I could get dressed.

"You're getting dressed and leaving me here?" he laughed.

"Get dressed too, we're going clubbing," I laughed.

"Alright, Alice," Edward laughed. I laughed too and finished getting dressed. I went out to go see Rose. I went over and hugged and we screamed in excitement.

"We must call Alice!" I said loudly. Just then the phone rang. It was Alice so we put it on speaker.

"I HAVE GREAT NEWS!" Rose and Alice said at the same time. We all laughed.

"Alright on three," Rose said. "One, two, three!"

"I'M PREGNANT!" they both screamed and yelled.

"Damn it, Alice! Not so loud!" I heard Jasper in the background. We all laughed.
