I don't own anything…

Thanks for the review guys…girls…wateva. I feel pissed for some unknown reason.

I hope it goes away soon.

Life is like a rollercoaster

Chapter 35

Previously:

Bella put a hand on Alice's shoulder. "I promise, it's just a formality. I want to make sure they're at least coming, and we can move on."

That seemed to appease her and we jumped into our respective cars, my truck scaring two women walking into the bridal shop. I sped down the street, in my red BMW onto the highway, fiddling with the radio until I found a suitable station and prepared myself for a very long day.

~AT HOME~

EDWARD POV:

The girls just walked through the front door, exhausted. Well, just Bella. Alice and Rose walked upstairs and Bella joined me in the kitchen.

"I say those two go way overboard when we tell them not to" she grumbled

I chuckled and kissed her hello

"I know Love, it will be okay though"

"It's not that, I'm just worried about the guest list" she said quietly

"Bella, my dear Bella. You do whatever you want for that day. Hell, I'll take you to Vegas, just the two of us if you'd like." I knew she would like this idea, and I'd do whatever it took to make her happy.

"Really?" she paused and a look of joy overcame her "That would be great Edward!" her smile was contagious but mine faded as something very loud and piercing and scary was happening in my head, it took me about three seconds to realize it was Alice thinking. She then vocalized her thoughts,

"Absolutely NOT! I WILL NOT be robbed of the chance to plan this wedding." Bella sighed a little and looked sad. I glared at my sister, and she smirked right back at me. "Vegas Edward? Come on, You've told me for at least four decades that you wanted the whole tux and white dress scene, with a big dance and honeymoon, and all the traditions in the book." I sighed, knowing that her words were true but it wasn't up to me.

"I want what Bella wants, it's her special day. You want to plan a wedding so bad Alice? Re-marry Jasper." Jasper shot me a look that told me if he had to get remarried, he'd rip me to shreds. I shrugged at him, Bella would have what she wanted, regardless of the consequences.

"I want the whole tux thing and the white dress scene too, but Alice, ease up on the guest list please." Bella said

Alice narrowed her eyes at Bella, still unhappy with the decision.

"You know Bella, your hair would look great green" Alice commented

"You wouldn't dare" Bella hissed playfully

Alice huffed and began to make her way up the stairs.

"Alice wait!" Bella cried

"Yes Bella?" Alice growled

"Go. Do whatever" Bella shrugged

Alice squealed and lunged for Bella. Of course Bella knew this was coming and stepped to the side. Alice was about to hit the floor, but Bella caught her by the waist with an arm.

Alice recovered immediately and squealed again before running up the stairs, dragging Jasper behind her. I walked over to Bella and hugged her. I frowned when I felt she was warmer than usual.

I turned her to face me and I placed and hand on her burning forehead. She sighed with relief and leaned into my hand. My brow knitted together and I picked her up bridal style and took her to our bed.

"Bella, you're burning up" I said

"I feel…exhausted" she whispered, clinging to my shirt

"Bella, let go for a moment please, I have to call Carlisle" I said

"Mmm…no" she mumbled

I rolled my eyes at her and tried to pry her hands off. But because she was werewolf and vampire, she was stronger than me. I sighed and gave in. I lay down next to her and cuddled her to my chest, trying to relieve the burn of her skin. As I heard her breathing slow to a steady pace, I slightly pried myself away from her to grab my phone.

I dialled Carlisle's number and he answered on the first ring.

"What is it Edward?" he asked

"It's Bella, she's burning up." I said

That was all I needed to say before the line was dead. Minutes later, I heard him park his car and rush up the stairs at top speed. He was about to burst throught the bedroom door, but decided otherwise. He gently opened the door and came in silently. I was lying there, bare chested, while Bella was snuggled in as far a she could go.

Carlisle grabbed his solid metal needle and stuck it in Bella's arm. Bella hissed in pain and bolted upright. She bared her teeth at him, and growled. He backed away slowly, holding his hands up. I smoothed down Bella's hair, trying to calm her down. Her eyes were wide, and scared.

"Bella, shh, it's okay, shh" I whispered, rocking her.

She calmed down considerably, when she realized where she was. She was still tense, but she saw it was Carlisle, and leaned into me.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have drawn blood that way" Carlisle stuttered

"No, continue, you just startled me" Bella whispered

Carlisle moved forward slowly until he reached Bella's arm. He slowly slid the needle in the same place and drew some of her blood. Bella winced in pain, and I leaned down to kiss her. She immediately leaned into it, completely forgetting about the needle.

Carlisle smiled and left the room with the needle. I snuggled in with Bella, as she fell back asleep.

~A FEW HOURS LATER~

Bella had just woken up and Carlisle was walking down the hallway, to our room. He finally came back, chuckling.

"I do not find this very funny dad, Bella is sick" I growled

Bella shoved me slightly and I fell off the bed.

"So…what's the verdict Doc?" she asked

I got back up on the bed, playfully glaring at Bella.

"Well as a matter of fact, you have the chicken poxs'." He said

"Say what?" she asked, scrutinizing her hands

He chuckled again "You can't see them because they are under your skin. Also you wont be able to feel the itch, because…well you're a vampire. But it is still contagious to humans, so you will have to stay home for the next two weeks."

"Can Edward stay with me?" she asked, clinging to me

Carlisle sighed. "He has to go to school, or else the students will get suspicious"

"No!" we cried at the same time

"Yes, don't argue, he can stay for the first week, but that's it" Carlisle ordered

Bella flung herself at Carlisle and squealed. Carlisle stumbled back, surprised by the sudden movement.

"See what I have to put up with?" I laughed

Bella quickly kissed Carlisle's cheek before lunging at me. She tackled me off the bed and growled playfully. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Carlisle packing up his medical bag. I picked up Bella and laid her on the bed and buried my face into her neck, closing my eyes. Bella smiled and placed kisses along my neck.

'And that is my cue to leave' Carlisle thought as he left the room.

Bella began tracing patterns on my chest and I nuzzled her neck. I began sucking on her 'used-to-be' pulse point, trying to leave a mark. I nipped at her earlobe and she moaned. I went back to sucking on her neck, and she began purring. I paused and pulled away. The purring immediately stopped.

"Bella…Bella were…were you just purring at me?" I stuttered

"I guess I was, I bet I could make you purr" she teased

I lay back down next to her and she began licking and nipping at my neck. She trailed kisses along my neck to my jaw, and I suddenly began purring. She giggled and I continued purring. She eventually fell back asleep and I also closed my eyes, trying to rest…even though I couldn't.

~ONE WEEK LATER~

Today was my first day back at school, and I wasn't coping well. I missed Bella. I had to pull myself through third period, but I wouldn't have made it without the help of Emmett.

The minute the bell rang signalling lunch my cell phone rang in my pocket and I flipped it open.

"Hello,"

"Edward, come home, now." It was Carlisle and panic rose in me.

"Is she okay?" I said jumping to my feet. Emmett was stopped beside me,

"She's fine, crazy, but fine. Just come home." I laughed and gave Emmett a smile.

"She's fine." I said flipping the phone closed and I quickly made my way out to the car and drove home at breakneck speed. Bella was wrapped in a blanket sitting out on the front steps when I got home and at vampiric speed I raced to her and scooped her up into my arms. "Have you been bugging my dad?" I accused and she looked upwards innocently and shrugged. I kissed her and spun her around so happy to have her back in my arms. In the back of my mind I knew it was almost pathetic for Bella and I to be so attached, but I couldn't help myself. I'd been spoiled by being allowed to keep her at my side whenever I wanted, and I intended for my life to stay that way.

"I missed you." she said nuzzling into my neck and touching her lips to any part of my skin she could reach.

"And I missed you too my darling. What did you do to get Carlisle to let me come home?"

"Your mother and I got him to help us plan the wedding, and then he had to help me paint my toenails, see?" Bella stuck out her feet and I manuvered my head so I could see. She'd painted her toenails crimson red and I smiled, trying to picture my father doing that. "Esme was totally on our side, I love that woman."

"Me too Bells, me too." I walked into the house, Bella still in my arms and found my father scrubbing at his hands with nailpolish remover. "Hello father, how was painting Bella's toenails?"

"Lovely." he murmered and Esme laughed from behind him.

"Any new details about my wedding I should know?"

"Your first dance is going to be to a traditional waltz piece, Jasper is your best man, not Emmett, and Bella wants there to be lots of chocolate." I smiled at my Bella and kissed her forehead gently.

"And there will be plenty of it, anything to please my bride." I nuzzled against Bella and captured her lips for a long passion filled kiss. Bella smiled and sighed into the kiss. I growled at her as she pulled away and Bella made a little cat noise at me and gave me a small wink. "Mmmm, my little tiger kitten." We shared several small, chaste kisses, staring into eachothers eyes. Hers full of mischief, mine of love. Bella's tongue gently glided out to trace my bottom lip and I shuddered with desire.

"Edward, is that appropriate behaviour for the sitting room?" my father asked. I pulled my lips from Bella's and nodded at him smugly. "I disagree, maybe you could move it upstairs?"

"No, no." my mother said. "I want to spend some time with Bella." I frowned and pulled Bella more tightly into me. Bella's hands moved onto my face and she looked into my eyes smiling.

"You can stay with us too Edward. Right Esme?" My mother nodded and I smiled while carrying Bella over to her. My mother had a large smile on her face, and she as humming to herself lightly as she moved to kiss my father's cheek and pinch mine. She led us into the kitchen and I attempted to delve into her mind, searching for the source of her happiness, but she was focusing very hard on the tune of the song she was humming. I frowned, wondering if she was doing this deliberately, but was pulled out of my mother's mind when Bella squirmed in my arms signalling that she wanted to get down.

Reluctantly I let Bella go and she skipped to my mother, and the two of them began grabbing things from the fridge.

"Can I do anything to help?" I offered moving to stand beside them,

"No dear, you just sit yourself down. Bella's going to teach me how to make her favourite breakfast." I smiled and moved out of their way, training my eyes on Bella as she began to instruct Esme in the art of making mushroom and smoked cheddar omelette. The girls chatted happily, again talking of the wedding that I was so ready for. Bella and I had continued to make small plans here and there, but weren't putting any real effort into it at all anymore. A date had been set, and I was anxious, I wanted the beautiful platinum band on her finger, and mine. I wanted to stare into the eyes of every man in the room as I danced with her and show them that now, she really was mine forever. I couldn't think of a single bad thing happening to us once we were married. Just Edward and Isabella Cullen...forever, immortal, eternal...and our love would be too.

Bella brought me from my thoughts as she flopped down at the island and began eating the dish quickly. I watched her smile at me as she chewed and I walked to her and touched my lips ever so gently to her temple. Mom's thoughts were soaring high in happiness still and I turned to her.

My mind exploded in happiness and I twirled Bella around, hearing her shriek and laugh at the sensation of spinning through the air. Her legs were locked tightly around my hips now and I sat down and on the stool previously occupied by her. Holding Bella to me I smiled at my mother who walked over and wrapped her arms around the two of us. I heard my father walk into the kitchen and I smirked, picturing again how his morning must have gone. I felt vibrations in Bella's chest, and heard the high tinkling sound of her laughter.

"Hey Carlisle," she giggled and my mother pulled away from us, giggling herself. Bella nuzzled against me and I turned her so her back was pushed against my chest, and she happily began to finish her omlette.

"I really hope you don't spoil her anymore Edward." My father thought to me, I laughed and Bella growled.

"We don't mean to leave you out Baby. Dad's just upset you made him paint your nails."

"He gets to do my fingernails tomorrow,"

"Edward's not going to school tomorrow." Carlisle announced and I smiled. "He can stay home and paint your nails, or do whatever else keeps you occupied." Bella quickly finished her food and awkwardly turned herself around on me. I stood with her in my arms, holding her securely. I pulled Bella's head against mine and inhaled her sweet scent, content in having her so close to me, both physically and emotionally. Bella nuzzled against my cheek and I purred deeply in my chest, nuzzling against her, rubbing our noses together.

"Father, tell me something." I murmered.

"Yes Edward,"

"How does a one hundred year old half vampire girl intimidate a three-hundred year old vampire enough to get him to paint her toenails?" Bella and I both giggled, and I shifted my arms to rest one under her ass and the other holding her to me tightly. We were staring into each others eyes, still patiently awaiting Carlisle's answer.

"Well, I'd rather have painted her nails than listen to her incessant whining." Bella blushed and frowned, I kissed her and she gave me a half smile. "Seriously Edward, you've spoiled her beyond reason."

"Mhmm, and I love her for it more and more everyday. I'll spoil her until the end of time." One of Bella's hands cupped my cheek while the other gently ran through my hair. We stood smiling at each other for a long time before my father coughed and pointed up the stairs. We rolled our eyes at him and made our way up the stairs.

I am so so sorry it took so long! I ran out of ideas! Anyways please review!
