So again, you guys rock and I love that more people are stumbling onto my story! It's so awesome! I decided to treat you all to another chapter :-)

EPOV

I had vaguely considered my sister's concerns over the absence of our father at her wedding. Honestly, I hadn't even thought about it until Jasper brought it up.

"Alice..."

"I just kind of feel gipped. Didn't you?"

I wasn't sure if I felt that way at my wedding, but I know I felt that way now.

"I know Mom's walking down the aisle and you and Emmett are doing enough, but still I-" her voice cracked and her lip quivered. She didn't finish before the tears spilled over.

I moved to her side of the bench and put my arm around her. She leaned into me as she sniffled.

"It's so selfish."

"It's not, Alice. Believe me. You want Dad. How is that selfish?"

She remained silent. "I...I just miss him."

"So do I," I replied honestly. Then I thought back to the random encounters with him. "Sometimes, I feel his presence."

I frowned at how cliche that sounded.

"You do?"

"Yeah and Emmett dreams about him."

"Okay."

"We all miss him, Alice, but he's still with us. He'll be there at your wedding. And you'll feel it, too. You'll know. And you won't be alone. You have your family and your gay fiancé."

She looked up at me and cracked a smile. "You're awesome, Edward. Thanks."

"But my fiancé isn't gay."

I laughed and asked her if she wanted another drink. She nodded and told me that Bella was supposed to be joining her and asked if I could wait until she got there.

"Of course."

Bella arrived about fifteen minutes later and Seth immediately walked over and began flirting with her. He was smirking at her and flexing his arms. She laughed and shook her head and her finger at him. Then he smiled and pointed over toward our booth.

Bella and I made eye contact and she smiled then moved her eyes to Alice. Her smile fell and concern overtook her features. She looked back at me with a question in her eyes, and I just shook my head.

She walked over and sat across from us.

"Hey boo."

"Hi," Alice and I both responded at the same time. I turned and furrowed my eyebrows at Alice and she gave me the same look.

"I'm her boo." Alice said.

I turned to Bella who just smirked and shrugged.

"What a twisted family. Alice is marrying a guy who is into guys when she is actually having an affair with my wife."

Bella giggled. "We're special."

I shook my head at her. "I'm the only normal one. You're all weird."

Alice and Bella both busted out laughing.

"You're the weirdest out of all of us, Edward."

"Shut up, Alice." I stood up. "Well some of us actually work around here, so I'm going to go and do that and not take any more abuse."

I leaned closely to Bella and kissed her on the cheek and when I pulled back, I realized what I did. I hadn't even thought about it.

Bella's eyes were soft, and her lips formed into a pleasant smile.

"Alright," I said awkwardly. "I'm going to send Seth over with a pitcher for you ladies."

I walked back to the bar and continued serving my half-off margarita pitchers to old women. From time to time, I'd look over at Bella and Alice, seeing them engrossed in conversation. Seth kept serving them pitchers for free, which was fine. I knew I would be driving Bella home for sure.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she kept looking over in my direction. When we'd make eye contact, she'd break out into a cheesy grin and I'd laugh in response. Then, when the older women were becoming a little too touchy for my liking, Bella strutted her drunk ass over to me.

The funny thing about drunk people is that they are overly confident and clumsy at the same time. They walk with a little bit of swagger and a little bit of stumble.

Bella definitely fell into that category. Alice was on her tail with less swagger and more stumble.

I sent Jasper a quick text telling him he better be on call to pick up his wifetonight.

"Hi, hubby!" Bella exclaimed loudly.

I couldn't stop my snort when I realized what she was doing.

"Bella, you ruin all our fun," the dark haired lady from earlier slurred.

"I'm not sorry." She responded, staring straight at me. Then, she leaned across the bar and planted a sloppy kiss on my mouth. "He's mine. And I'm his and we belong together, forever, we never will part, oh how I love you," Bella broke out into terrible singing.

"Why are you singing?" I spoke in a panic. I felt the tips of my ears burning with embarrassment. She ignored me. I looked around and nobody seemed surprised at Bella's antics. "You're crazy," I said.

She continued singing as Alice rested her head in her hand.

"Oh please, Edward. Don't act like you don't always encourage her weirdness."

Bella turned and sang to Alice. Alice wasn't phased.

I just turned and walked away.

And then, I had that feeling. That warm feeling. The one I was telling Alice about.

And I knew.

Carlisle was here.

I go to a movie theatre that has Margarita Tuesdays. It's a dream come true. The bartender knows my friends and I because we are in there all the time. I don't even remember the movie when I get out. Oops!

Also, the swagger and stumble bit is so true. Observe drunk people!

Thank you for reading!
