We had decided to start trying for a baby within the next few weeks. His Uncle Marcus was opening a private practice the following month, he wanted Edward to be one of his partners. I was going to hand in my two week notice to the manager of the book store.

When we arrived at the reception, Esme told me I was positively glowing.

"Marriage agrees with you. I have not told you this, are the best possible wife for him. Carlisle and I are happy to have you as a daughter-in–law."

"I am honored to be a part of this family, as well as to be his wife. Thank you, Esme."

After she enveloped me in a hug, we walked outside to join the festivities.

Everyone congratulated us, and there were several toasts made in our name.

"Are you happy, Mrs. Cullen?"

"Deliriously, Mr. Cullen, but I can't wait till we're alone."

He kissed my lips. Then we heard someone clearing their throat.

"Are you Edward?" A woman I had never seen was standing behind him. He turned to face her.

"Yes I am, and what are you here for?"

"I'm Mike's widow."
