A/N: LAST REGULAR CHAPTER…I'm sad. So is Melanie…she so loves her Sugarward…

I love this chapter…I really do.

I could not have done any of this without Melanie's help. She channeled her inner Jasper and Alice and of course her Sugarward and made this story better. Please make sure you have her on alert cause I am pushing her to start to post her next story soon…Edward's Eternal…do it!

Dalloway5906 was a constant support and sounding board through this journey and I hope she continues to be with me on the next trip as well.

And to you all…I have no words.

Enjoy some happiness…

"Yes…yes…yes!" Bella screamed into the pillows as Edward thrust against her. She was up on her knees with her hips in the air and Edward was pounding into her from behind. Since they had returned back to his house they had been insatiable. Every night and most mornings found them making love in bed or the shower or even in the stairwell.

"Oh God Bella…yes." Edward moaned as he reached down and put his hand between her breasts, pulling her up to her knees, her back against his chest. He held her tightly as he pushed into her again and again, loving the way she mewed and cried out as she came. He held her close as he found his own release, falling to his side on the mattress and bringing her with him.

"God damn, I love you." Edward panted into her neck as his heart calmed down.

"Hmmm…not as much as I love you." Bella whispered into the early morning light. They had gotten up before the alarm and decided not to waste the opportunity. They should have been at the bakery by now but got a bit distracted.

"Are we still doing that catering event for the fundraiser at the museum tonight?" Bella asked as she got up from the bed and traipsed into the bathroom, gloriously naked. Edward had not even heard her speak; he had been so busy watching her movements. Her scars had faded over the last six months and she was so much more confident in her own skin.

"Edward?" She giggled as she turned around in the bathroom doorway and smiled at him, knowing that he was thinking with the wrong head.

"Hmmm."

"I asked you if we were still doing the fundraiser tonight?" Bella sighed as she gave her hips a little wiggle, enjoying the way Edward's eyes widened and his cock jumped at the sight.

"Yep…are you still coming with me?" He asked, shaking his head to get rid of the lecherous thoughts. Tonight was important…he had plans.

"Yes, although I am nervous to be the one out front. Are you sure you would not rather me be in the kitchen while you are out in the ballroom?" She asked, suddenly anxious. They were making desserts on demand and Edward had somehow managed to convince Bella to be the one out mingling with the guests while he and Seth prepared the fresh Strawberry Shortcakes and Pumpkin and Pear Semifreddo.

"Nope…I need you out there to make us look good. Cause you know you look good baby." Edward smirked as he threw back the sheet and stalked, naked, towards Bella. She squealed and giggled as she ran into the bathroom and tried to close the shower door on him. But he was faster and followed her into the stall, pulling her into his arms at the same time as he flipped the lever for the rain shower.

*()*()*

"Alice…are you ready yet? Edward said this shindig started at eight." Jasper called up the stairs. He was stuffed into a suit and was uncomfortable as hell, but his girl wanted a night on the town and he was going to give her one. After his brush with death…hell, he had looked death straight in the eye and come back to tell about it, he wasted no time in making Alice's his. They were married in a small ceremony at the court house with Bella, Edward and his family as their witnesses. He had not missed the wistful look on Edward's face as Jasper had slid his ring on Alice's finger and he did not doubt that Bella would be the next one with some new jewelry.

They had tried to get in contact with Alice's mother, but the letters and phone calls went unanswered. He was fine with that bitch not having anything to do with his wife, but he knew that Alice wanted some closure. He used his connections at the station to track her credit cards and followed her trail to Las Vegas. When he suggested an impromptu trip to the city Alice thought nothing of it. He booked them a room at the same hotel Alice's mother was staying at and just prayed that they would run into her.

He was lucky when on their second day there, they passed her in the hallway. Her eyes got big as saucers when she saw Alice and Jasper stopped mid-stride. He recognized her from the pictures he had found when he was searching for Alice's identity.

"Mrs. Walker." Jasper said as he tucked Alice under his arm. Alice gasped when she heard Jasper speak and his hunch was confirmed, Alice had no idea who the woman was.

"You're my mother?" Alice whispered and Chelsea Walker's face went white.

"No…no I'm not." She breathed before she spun on her heel and walked away from them. Alice turned into Jasper's chest and sobbed, but at least she had that finality now.

They left the city the next day and had not looked back. Now he was excited to share in Edward and Bella's big night. The fundraiser was a big event for them, and they needed their support, if they could ever get there…Alice was taking forever.

Jasper paced around the entry but stopped when he heard the clicking of heels on the stairs. He turned around and lost his breath. Alice had kept her hair red even though she did not need the disguise anymore but had started to grow it out. It hung in perfect waves to her shoulders with part of it clipped up behind her ear. Her eyes were dark and her lashes long, her cheeks were flushed pink and she had left her lips bare, which was just the way he liked them.

"Come here you sexy thing…let me look at you." Alice sighed as she stopped at the bottom step. You could never convince her that there was anything sexier than Jasper in a suit. He had gained back all of the weight he had lost while in the coma, plus a bit more since Alice had perfected some of Edward's decadent desserts. He smirked as he spun in a circle for her and smiled when she giggled. God, did he love her.

"Ready to go?" He asked as he reached for her hand.

"Not quite yet. I have a little something for you." She said as she walked into his embrace.

"Not sure what you could give me I don't already have." He chuckled as he let her pull him into the kitchen. She walked over to the refrigerator and took out a pink cake box, setting it on the counter. When she turned back around her cheeks were pink and if he did not know better he would have sworn she was nervous.

"Baby?" Jasper questioned as she motioned him towards the box. He looked down at the unassuming cardboard and suddenly his tie felt too tight. As he pushed back the lid his heart stopped.

"Well?" Alice asked, sounding close to tears. Jasper turned towards her, tears in his eyes and pulled her into his arms.

"Really?" He rasped, and she giggled and nodded her head against his chest. He fell to his knees and pressed his lips to her belly.

"Hello my little one. Daddy loves you so much." He whispered. Alice looked over his head at the cake on the counter, the one that had taken her all day to decorate.

Congratulations Daddy

I'll be here in July…

Needless to say, Alice and Jasper arrived late to the party.

*()*()*

"Bella…Bella! Take these plates out will you? And do you have the speech Edward wanted you to give?" Seth called as Bella raced back into the ballroom. The party was in full swing and Bella was being run ragged. Edward had disappeared, leaving Alice, Seth and herself to pick up the slack. Now she found out that Edward wanted her to say something on his behalf. If she did not love him so much she would kill him.

"I got it right here." Bella said as she stuffed the paper into the pocket of her dress and walked back out into the ballroom, hands full of treats.

When it was time for the speech, Bella had to remind herself to breathe as she walked up to the podium they had set up. The lights were blinding but she just kept her eyes on the paper in front of her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for being here tonight to support such a worthy cause. When Edward and I were approached to contribute to the foundation, we jumped at the opportunity since it was so near and dear to both our hearts. I was one of the millions of victims of slavery and abuse that occur every single year in our country without many of us even knowing it is happening right in our own backyards. I was lucky, I got out, but so many don't. With the help of Emancipation, hopefully we can save more of the women and children that are stuck in a situation like I was." Bella read and had to stop to wipe a tear away. She took another deep breath and continued reading.

"Bella Swan, my heart did not beat until I saw you…" Bella read but stopped when she heard the same words echoing from the other side of the room. Edward walked slowly through the crowd and continued the speech.

"My arms were empty before you were there to fill them. My life was incomplete until you broke into my bakery. My world was meaningless until you were there for me to love. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Edward asked as he got down on one knee right in front of the podium. Bella could only stare at him.

"Really?" She whispered and he broke out in a brilliant smile as his eyes shimmered with tears.

"Yes my girl, really." He said and was knocked backwards as she ran to him. She peppered kisses all over his face, laughing. The crowd exploded in applause and Bella flushed crimson as she realized what had just happened in front of so many people.

"Was that why you wanted me to read the speech?" She breathed against his neck as he pulled them both to their feet.

"Sneaky wasn't it?" He said with a smile and pressed his lips to hers in a kiss that said more than any words could and better than any cake or cookie ever had.

So yes…an epilogue is coming on Friday.

Leave me some love…or hate…or indifference…as long as you leave me something.
