Progress Incomplete
Chapter Fifteen
Bella Swan
Something is wrong with me. I feel angry all the time, the slightest thing makes me snap instantly and I see red. I don't know whats wrong with me. How can you explain this to someone else when I don't understand it myself? I thought of asking Jake, but shifting is different between us. It's in his blood while I was born with power I don't exactly understand. Tomorrow is Taylor's wedding and then they are off on their honeymoon. Maybe I should talk to Charlie, they say new borns live purely on instinct and not emotion. Maybe it is the same thing. I sighed when a knock sounded on my door, I wasn't ready to see anybody.
"Bella?" Charlie's velvety voice sounded through the door. I was back at his house, I missed my room.
"Yeah?" I asked, flopping onto my bed face first.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Is there something you wanted?"
"Taylor has been trying to get a hold of you all day. Something about a last fitting."
I sighed again. "OK, I will call her."
"OK." I heard him scuffle away.
I dialled Taylor's number and waited, she finally picked up on the sixth ring. "Hello?"
She sounded out of breath. "Hi Taylor. Charlie said you have been trying to get a hold of me?"
"Bella.." She sighed in what sounded like in relief. "I was worried about you. I need you to come over so Alice can do one last fitting before the wedding tomorrow." She paused. "Oh my god, I am getting married tomorrow Bella." Her voice was shaky.
I laughed. "Are you getting cold feet?"
"What if I am making a huge mistake?"
I sighed once again, "Taylor, does it feel wrong?"
"No, not really."
"Then you are going to be fine. Just think, this time tomorrow you will be Mrs. Edward Cullen, going off on your honeymoon."
She laughed. "Your right, I must be overreacting. See you in a bit then?"
"Yeah, I will be over shortly, just going to have a shower first."
"OK. Love you."
"Love you too." I hung up and made my way to the bathroom.
Twenty Four hours later...
Well today is the day, my little sister is getting married. I sighed as Alice and Rosalie put finishing touches on my dress. I should be happy on this joyous occasion, but I can't help but miss Jake. Even though Quil imprinted on Claire, he still took Taylor getting married pretty hard. He took off and Sam put Jake in charge of finding him. They should just let him be, he will come home when he is ready. I sighed again, this was going to be a long day.
"Stop sighing Bella." Alice chastised. "Your suppose to be happy."
"I'm not the one getting married." I huffed.
Alice laughed. "Maybe Jacob will propose to you tonight."
I rolled my eyes. "Jake isn't going to be here, he is off looking for Quil."
"You mean the dog that was in love with Taylor?" I nodded. "Didn't he imprint on someone?"
"Yep, didn't stop him from being all broody when he got invited to the wedding."
"Taylor invited him to the wedding?" Rose wrinkled her nose.
"Your lucky your face can't get stuck that way." I laughed while Rose stuck her tongue out at me.
"Awe Bella, you look beautiful." Alice cooed.
I blushed. "Thanks. I hope I won't outshine the bride."
Alice laughed, "Of course not. I am a professional after all."
"Professional what exactly?"
"Oh hush." She swatted my arm playfully. "Your all done, lets go help the bride."
I nodded, and clumsily followed her out the door. I prayed for the sake of Taylor, this wedding would go off without a hitch.
Taylor Swan
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Today is the day I finally say I do and I was practically hyperventilating. This is a disaster, how am I suppose to get married if I can't breathe? If only my mom was here. I can't do this without her. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe-
"What are you doing?" I turned around to see Bella standing there, giving me a smirk.
"Bella! Help me!" I choked out. "I'm freaking out over here!"
She chuckled and came over. Shaking her head, she smirked. "I told you to relax Taylor. Everyone gets the marriage jitters."
I giggled, "do you seriously just say jitters?"
She nodded and we both shared a laughed. The weeks following Bella's outburst, we became closer than ever. We even fixed everything with Charlie, who was still depressed by not seeing Cybelle. A knock sounded on the door and Bella went to go answer it, Alice came skipping into the room.
"I have a huge surprise for you." Alice announced, still bouncing.
I rose my eyebrow, "Which would be what? I hope you didn't buy me anything Alice, you know how I feel."
"Oh hush, we are perfectly capable of affording anything we wish to buy you." She sighed. "But that is not the surprise." She turned to Bella and smiled. "If you would please open the door."
Bella nodded and did as requested. Bella gasped while I almost fainted. "M-mom?"
Cybelle stood there in all her vampire glory. "Hi sweetie."
I blinked a couple times, making sure I wasn't hallucinating. "What.. how did you get here?"
She shrugged. "I begged Aro to let me come to my only daughters wedding. He agreed if only I brought Alec and Jane with me."
Alice grimaced. "You brought the twins?"
Cybelle nodded. "I did. Jane was quite anxious to see you again Taylor."
"How odd." I replied. "And here I thought she just wanted to eat me."
"Now there is a great idea." Jane replied, walking through the door. "My, my, don't you just look ravishing." She smirked, "Almost good enough to eat."
I rolled my eyes. "Ha ha, so very funny."
"Taylor, are you almost ready? We are about to be-" Charlie stopped in his tracks as he saw the woman standing beside me. "Cybelle?"
Cybelle stared at him curiously, her eyes narrowed trying to figure it out. Her eyes widened when she realized who it was. "Oh my god. Charlie? What happened?"
I smiled. "Long story mom. I'll tell it you later if you are still here."
She nodded. "Well lets go then, wouldn't want you to be late for your own wedding."
I took a deep breath and attached myself to my dad. "Don't let me fall dad." I whispered.
"Wouldn't dream of it Tay."
I smiled and he lead me down the stairs and out the backyard. I gasped as I seen all the decorations Alice had down. My favorite flower, orchids, were strewn across the ground and at the end of every aisle. The trees were decorated in light purple laterns. My eyes then fell onto the man I was marrying. He was standing in front of an archway filled with purple flowers, and Edward himself looked amazing in his white tux. I sighed happily as my father gave me away.
...
The Cullens rented a huge tent for the reception, in case it rained. I was currently sitting at the bridal table watching the guests chat and dance and just generally having a good time. I kept sneaking glances at Edward, this all felt like a very vivid dream. I had to keep touching him to confirm that it wasn't. Of course, Edward wasn't fooled.
"Taylor, stop fidgeting." Edward smiled at me.
"I can't help it, it just feels like a dream."
"Isn't that how weddings are suppose to be for the brides?" He asked cheekily.
I slapped his arm playfully while laughing. "That is so not what I meant and you know it."
He kissed the back of my hand. "Just relax and enjoy yourself my love. Soon we will be leaving for our honeymoon."
I shivered excitedly at the thought. "Great. Why can't we leave now?"
Edward laughed, "Impatient as ever. You still have guests to meet, and we haven't even cut the cake yet."
"So? It is not like you can eat it anyway."
He shook his head, "Come on, lets go dance."
I sighed, "fine. Lets get this over with."
He laughed heartily as he lead me out onto the dance floor. Wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer to him. I smiled as I leaned into his hard body. Everything in life is going just perfect for me, I can not wait till the rest of my life comes.
"Edward?" I looked up to see five golden eyed vampires staring at us.
"Ah. Welcome you guys could make it. This is my wife Taylor."These are my new cousins-in-law, the Denali vampire clan. I realized I was holding my breath as the vampire in front—Tanya, I assumed from the strawberry tint in her blonde curls—reached out to embrace Edward. Next to her, three other vampires stared at me with open curiosity. One woman had long, pale blonde hair, straight as corn silk. The other woman and the man beside her were both black-haired, with a hint of an olive tone to their chalky complexions.
"Where is Irina?" Edward asked.
" I am sorry Edward, but she still holds a grudge against the wolves for killing Laurent." The man, Elezar replied sadly.
Edward nodded, "I understand."
"Do you?" The one I assumed to be Kate hissed. "I don't believe you do when you have three just over there."
I turned around to where she was pointing and my heart leapt with joy. Jacob was here. "It was nice to meet you all, but if you could excuse me." I ran as fast as I could to Jake, throwing myself into his arms.
"Taylor." He muttered happily, squeezing me tightly. "You look beautiful." I smiled in thanks. "Do you think I could have a dance with you, or would your new husband be opposed of it?"
"No, I think you will be fine. Its mostly Quil he is not fond of." I looked behind Jake, as he lead me to the dance floor. "Did he come with you?"
"No, sadly he didn't. I am sorry Taylor, I knew how much it meant for you for him to be here."
I shrugged, "Its OK." The music stopped playing. "I am sure Bella would love to see you."
He nodded. "Its been a long couple of weeks without her."
I snorted, "I don't want to know. Just go already."
He bowed and kissed the back of my hand. "As you wish Mrs. Cullen." He smirked and walked away.
"Did you have a nice dance?"
I looked up to see Edward beside me. "It was all right."
He smiled. "How about we go cut the cake, throw the flowers and then get the hell out of here?"
I grinned. "I thought you would never ask."
...
Five hours later...
"Taylor," Edward whispered, shaking me softly. "We are here."
I groaned. "Where is here exactly?"
He smiled. "Welcome to Isle Esme."
I blinked. "Isle Esme? Esme has an island?"
He nodded, picking me up bridal style. "Carlisle bought it for her."
"Wow. It's beautiful." I whispered.
"Come on, I'll take you to the bedroom where you can get dressed."
"Dressed?" I rose an eyebrow. "I am already dressed."
He laughed. "All right, I will take you to the bedroom to get undressed. I will grab our bags and then I will meet you in the water."
He set me on my feet as I nodded. "OK." He took off at vampire speed to grab our bags. He plopped them on the bed and then he took off outside, losing clothing on the way to the beach. I blushed and went into the bathroom grabbing the first bathing suit I could find. I slipped out of my sundress and slipped on the bathing suit. Although there was barely enough fabric to be called that. I shook my head and took it off, wrapping a towel around my self, I made my way to where I last seen Edward. The moon was in full blaze, lighting up the black ocean. I slowly made my way across the beach, losing my towel in the process. I dipped my toes into the water, surprised to find it warm. I walked in the rest of the way, looking around for Edward. When I couldn't find him, I shrugged and dived under the water, going further out. I came up for air a minute later, and almost screamed when Edward appeared right in front of me.
"You scared the hell out of me." I gasped.
He laughed. "Sorry, thought you would be able to see my underwater."
"Not a chance." I laughed with him. "It is seriously gorgeous here. How long are we staying?"
"As long as you want."
I smiled. "Well you got me to the water, is this where your big plan ends?"
"Not even close." He whispered huskily into my ear making me shiver.
His lips crashed into mine, full of need and desire. I kissed him back just as fiercely. Our hot make out session lasted another few minutes before he plopped me onto his back and told me to hold on. Apparently our swim was taking too long. I smiled to myself as we swam for shore, once there he picked me up and ran vampire speed back to the bedroom, throwing me onto the bed and jumping on top of me.
"In a hurry to take my innocence? Or in a hurry to get rid of yours?" I purred, making him growl.
"Are you sure about this Taylor? I don't want to hurt you."
I rolled my eyes, and pulled him to me, kissing him with everything I felt. He growled, and started kissing me everywhere. I moaned in pleasure as he nibbled on my neck, and made his way down to my breasts, slowly pleasuring both before moving on. He positioned himself between my thighs and looked at him questionably. I nodded and he slowly slid into me. I gasped as the pain came and Edward froze, I shook my head and grabbed his ass, making him go deeper. He sat there, waiting for me to adjust to this new sensation, and when I started to moan he picked up speed. After that, I was in heaven.
...
I woke up the next morning, a little sore, but I was happy. Happier than I have ever been in my life. I sighed in content and looked over at Edward. Only he wasn't there, in his place was tons of feathers. I sat up, looking around. The whole room was covered in feathers. I laughed as I picked some from my hair, and that is when Edward walked in, brooding.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Of course I am." I smiled, he didn't smile back.
"I am sorry."
"For what?" Did he regret making love to me?
"We shouldn't have done that last night. It was too dangerous."
I felt like a bucket of ice water was dumped over me. "W-what? I am not hurt."
"You have bruises all over your body Taylor." I looked down and sure enough, a had a least a dozen purple marks all over my body.
"They don't hurt Edward." I huffed, getting up. "If you will excuse me." I stormed off into the bathroom.
"Taylor?" Edward asked through the door. "Why are you mad at me?"
"Bella is not here. Read my mind and find out." I snapped back.
"I am sorry. I didn't mean to wreck this moment for you, but I could have really hurt you."
"Yeah I got it thanks."
"I am going to go hunt, I will be back by sunset." He announced.
"Yeah sure. Go ahead." I heard him sigh, and then I peeked out the door and he was gone. I huffed and hopped into the shower. Letting the hot water loosen my tight muscles.
I got out of the shower thirty minutes later, put on a pink sundress and went to the kitchen to go find something to eat. After eating, I went and watched a movie. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew Edward was carrying me to the bedroom. I smiled at him.
"Ready for round two?"
He shook his head. "Not tonight." He gave me a quick kiss and covered me up, laying beside me. I huffed and rolled over, going back to sleep.
Three weeks later...
We have been on this island for three weeks, Edward has refused to bed me again, and instead has been taking me hiking or swimming or something equally exhausting, making me too tired to ask for it anymore. One night I grew tired of it and decided to try on the black babydoll Alice sent with me. I slipped it on and walked out of the bathroom. Edward took one look at me and groaned. I climbed into bed and rolled over on my side, pretending to go to sleep. Edward cuddled up next to me, I could feel his erect manhood pushing up against my back.
I rolled over, slipping my hand down to his awaiting cock and touched it, "Depriving one of sex is never good, haven't you ever heard of blue balls?"
He laughed. "I was doing fine until you came out of the bathroom in that outfit." He moaned and bucked his hips, making my hand move up and down.
"Please don't resist. Not tonight." I pleaded. He growled and rolled on top of me, ripping off my babydoll in the process. "I actually wanted to wear that again."
He chuckled. " I will buy you a new one." As he gave me a searing kiss, making me instantly ready for me.
I moaned. "Take me, please."
He growled and I gasped in pleasure as he filled me once more.
...
The next morning, Edward was gone again, he left a note saying he had to go to the mainland and he would be back soon. I sighed and got dressed quickly. Making my way into the kitchen. I grabbed some eggs and chicken and a bottle of chocolate syrup. While the eggs and chicken were cooking I poured the syrup into my mouth. A few minutes the food was done and I took a bite of the chicken. It tasted funny, so I opened it, and noticed it was thoroughly cooked so maybe it was just bad. I threw it and the eggs in the garbage and I ran to the bathroom. That's how Edward found me, bent over the toilet, throwing up nothing.
"Taylor?" He asked worriedly, coming over to lift my hair up.
I groaned. "Go away, I don't want you to see me like this."
He chuckled, "In sickness and in health remember?"
"Fine, there is some medicine in my bag, could you get it please." He nodded and went and grabbed the bag. I noticed my tampons in the bag and my mind started to calculate the days. "How long have we been here?"
"Three weeks, why?"
I looked up at him, "I'm late by a week and a half."
He stared at me, "What does that mean?"
I walked out of the bathroom and over to the mirror, noticing something. I lifted my shirt and noticed a little bump on my normally flat stomach. I looked at Edward in shock. "Is this even possible?"
He stared at him, but not quite seeing, he plopped on the bed. His phone started ringing and when he didn't answer it I went and grabbed it. "Hello?"
"Taylor, is everything ok?" It was Alice.
"Why? What did you see?"
"I don't know, it was confusing."
"Is Carlisle there?" I asked.
"Taylor? Whats wrong?"
"I am not really sure, is it possible for vampires to go into shock?" I asked, sneaking a glance at Edward.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well I know this is going to sound crazy, but I think I am pregnant." At those words, Edward snapped out of it and grabbed the phone from me. He was talking to fast for me to hear what they were saying. "Ooof." I gasped.
"What?"
"Something just kicked me." I whispered. "How is that possible?"
He hung up the phone and started packing our bags as fast as possible. "Lets go, we are on the next flight back to Forks."
"Why?" I asked.
"We are going to get that thing out of you."
"You mean you want to kill our baby?"
"Whatever that thing is, it is not a baby." Edward growled, grabbing the bags and going outside, running into the hired help.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you my little princess." I whispered.
Edward came back with a woman. "This is Seeva. I asked her about that thing in your stomach."
Seeva came forward and put her hand on my stomach. Her eyes widened in horror as she looked at me. "Morte." She whispered, and she left.
I knew enough spanish to know what that meant and I looked at Edward horrified. "let's go."
I nodded, "Just let me go to the bathroom first." He nodded and I made my way to the bathroom. I pulled out my phone and dialled a number.
"Hello?" The voice asked.
"Rosalie, its me. I need your help." I whispered.
A/N: Alright here is chapter fifteen. Whoo, what do you think? It took me forever to write this chapter out. Read and Review.
