Chapter 28

BPOV


Alice was absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress. She'd been so strung out the whole week before the arrival of her wedding day. Rosalie and I kept trying to get her to calm down. There was no need to get all worked up over something that was already planned out. Everything was perfection and not only that, she had a wedding planner that did most of the work for her.

"Alice, can you sit down for five freakin' minutes? Please? You're starting to make me queasy." I pleaded with her because she was pacing back and forth between my living room and kitchen. "Missing one table isn't going to screw everything up. Mom has one that she's bringing down tomorrow that will work just fine."

She stopped abruptly, turning to look at me. "What if it doesn't match? Huh? What do I do then, Bella?"

I stood from where I was sitting on my couch and approached her. I placed my hands on her shoulders. "For Christ-sakes, Alice..." I glanced over my shoulder to make sure Avery was paying attention to her toys before continuing. "...calm the fuck down," I whispered. "You're gonna give yourself a panic attack before your own wedding day, tomorrow. And, the tables are covered with tablecloths, if you forgot already."

Alice was staying with Edward and I tonight, so she could live up to the whole – Can't see the bride before the wedding. Jasper was staying at their apartment, but didn't like the idea of being away from her for so long. Edward was visiting with him for a little while before he came home.

Emmett had already gotten clearance to take a couple of days off to be home for the wedding. He wasn't the quarterback, so they'd be just fine without him for one game.

Alice sighed, slumping her shoulders. "Bella, what would I do without you?" She wrapped her arms around me. "I feel like I'm losing my mind."

"I can see your head exploding instead. Now, I'm going into the kitchen to get a drink, do you want one?" I let go of her hug and started walking toward the kitchen.

"No thanks," she called over her shoulder.

I could hear her talking to Avery as I poured myself a glass of green tea from Panera. As I stepped around the counter, I heard her whispering to Avery. "This baby's gonna drive Auntie Alice, crazy, Avery and your Momma's gonna string me up by my toes."

I stopped dead in my tracks. Avery giggled at Alice as she made faces at her. "What the...Alice, what exactly did you just tell my daughter?"

"Shit," she hissed. She looked entirely too guilty for her own good. "Shit, shit, shit. I'm sorry, Bella. I wanted to tell you after the honeymoon."

"Sh…Sh…Sh…"we heard Avery say. "Crap," Alice said, "Sorry."

I pulled her toward the kitchen out of earshot of Avery. "Why?" I whined as I asked. "Does Jasper even know?"

She nodded at me. "Yeah, he made me take the test. I have a doctor's appointment when we get back in two weeks."

I set my glass down on the counter and stepped toward her, pulling her into a tight hug. "It's about damn time."

"I know, right." She giggled and pulled back from my hug. "Jasper was about to go nuts. He says I've been talking a lot faster and just not acting like myself. He knew something was different and went out for a test. He made me take it as soon as he got back."

"When did you find out?" We made our way back into the living room where I sat down on the couch after making sure Avery was satisfied with her toys.

Alice had followed behind me, sitting on the edge of the couch with her hands in her lap. "The day after we had lunch."

"You've known this whole time and didn't say anything to me? Alice..." I whined again, sounding like a petulant child. Alice was my best-friend and I thought we always shared stuff like this with each other.

She hugged me again, "I'm sorry, Bella. We wanted it to be a surprise for everyone."

"I'd say it's a surprise. You've been trying for so long." I smiled up at her then something crossed my mind. "Oh. My. GOD!" I screamed, jumping up from the couch and started bouncing up and down. "We're gonna be pregnant together; just like me and Rose were."

We were hugging and jumping, now, and then she pulled back from me with a serious look on her face. "I've gotta have the girl 'cause there's no way I'm having twins."

"No way! There's no way I'm having twins, either. We'll leave that up to Rose and Emmett. But this is so exciting." I was done feeling like the petulant child now that we're pregnant together.

"Fine, but you can't tell anyone yet, okay?"

"Maaa...mamma," Avery cried from her bouncy seat.

Alice got a surprised look on her face. "Oh my, God, she said Momma."

"She tries," I said, "Other than her just trying to say shit, she can say dada, now, too." Walking over to Avery and picking her up. "Well, at least that's what it sounds like."

"I can't wait. I never thought I'd be so excited about something in my entire life," she said, rubbing her hand over the top of Avery's head.

"Not even your own wedding?" I asked, walking toward the kitchen to fix a bottle for Avery. It was close to her bed time and I knew Edward would be back soon so he could tuck her in.

She sighed, putting her finger on her chin like she had to think about what I asked her. "Wellll...I've always known I'd get married someday, but I never worked kids into that equation, so I'd say, yes, I'm more excited about the baby than my own wedding."

"Alice..." I started to say, but she interrupted me.

"I'm just kidding. I'm equally excited about both." She reached over and handed me the gallon of spring water that we used for Avery's formula.

"Does that stuff always smell so bad?"

I nodded, grimacing as the odor hit my nose. "Yeah, it stinks to high heaven, but once she reaches a year old, she can have regular milk."

"You're not breastfeeding anymore?" Alice kept her eyes on my movements as I measured out the formula in the provided measuring spoon.

I shook my head. "No. I stopped about a month and a half ago. I'll be breastfeeding the new baby and I didn't want to have two needing the tit." Hopefully with the new baby, breastfeeding was the only option on the table as of right now.

Alice and I chatted for a little while longer while I fed Avery. I could tell she was a little nervous about her nuptials the next day. Edward came walking through the door just as Avery's eyes started to close, but as soon as she heard her Daddy's keys, she cranked her head around to look for him. "He's right over there, Munchkin. Give him just a minute to get in here."

She scrambled to sit up in my lap, wanting Edward as soon as he walked into the living room. "There's my girls." Avery reached out to her father, wanting him to pick her up. "Hi, Angel. You being good for Momma?"

Avery tucked her head under Edwards chin as soon as he sat down on the couch next to me. He leaned over, placing a lingering kiss on my lips. "Hi, Momma. What're you girls up to?"

"Just chatting," Alice answered. "I was about to call it a night. I'm gonna take a long hot bath before I head to bed. Do you guys mind if I go on up?"

"You don't even need to ask, Alice; go ahead." I motioned toward the stairs. "We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow and you need all the rest you can get."

Alice got up from the couch, but before she left the room, she pressed a kiss on my cheek and Edwards. "Thanks, you two; for everything."

"No need to thank us, Alice. We're all family. Blood or not, we're here for you regardless," Edward said, rubbing his hand up and down Avery's back. She already had her eyes closed, heading off into Avery dreamland.

"Thank you," Alice said. "Goodnight, you three." She kissed the top of Avery's head before turning for the stairs. We called out goodnight to her, in return, just as she disappeared from our sight.

I laid my head on Edward's shoulder as he continued rubbing Avery's back. He rested his cheek on the top of my head. "How's Jasper?"

"As good as he can be, I suppose. Emmett was gonna stay the night with him, but Rose needed him home 'cause one of the twins was giving her a hard time. He feels bad because she couldn't come and hang out with you. She didn't wanna risk getting Avery sick with whatever Jacob has. They're hoping he'll feel better in time for the wedding," he explained, as Avery snuggled further under his chin. Her nose had to be touching right where his Adam's apple was. "C'mon, let's get her to bed, so we can get to bed ourselves."

As we made our way upstairs, I could hear soft music coming from the guest room where Alice was spending the night. We were on the other side of the loft, so I knew we wouldn't be able to hear it through the closed door. I just hoped she'll be able to get some rest. She really had been running around more than she normally does.

After getting Avery settled into bed, we made our way into our room across the hall. Edward started undressing as soon as the door clicked shut. I made sure the baby monitor was on. It was one of those with a camera so we could literally see her if she wakes up. Best investment ever.

I noticed Edward didn't put his sleep pants on which only means one thing. He wanted to have sex. It was a nice subtle hint. We always knew when one of us was wanting to get their freak on. I wore a very few clothes to bed and the same for him.

I kept my panties on and pulled on a tank top before climbing into bed. Edward didn't waste any time at all by immediately easing his hand in between my legs.

"Why'd you leave your panties on?" He whispered in my ear, rubbing his fingers over my cloth covered pussy. "You playing hard to get?"

"N...n...no," I stuttered as he stopped and began rubbing over my protruding nub. He knew exactly what he needed to do to get me worked up.

I spread my legs wider for him when he slipped his hand under the elastic of my panties and eased a finger inside of me. First went one, then another. He was going at a slow pace while he kissed and licked up my neck and over the exposed skin of my chest. I couldn't get my tank top off fast enough to give him access.

He wrapped one of his legs around mine, pulling them further apart, then it was like he was on a mission, because he started pumping his fingers in and out of me like he was in a race for time. His lips found mine in a matter of seconds as my hips began rising off the bed. The feeling was so intense that I had no idea what he was doing before my first orgasm hit me. He had a look of determination on his face.

My panties were off and thrown to the floor before he perched himself between my legs. My knees were pushed up to my chest before he leaned down and swiped his tongue through my lower lips. He sucked my clit into his mouth and lightly clamped his teeth around it, causing me to jerk my body upward, toward his face. He fucked me with his tongue at a fast pace before slipping two fingers inside of me, again. I didn't know what came over him, but the faster he used his fingers on me and sucked on my clit, was causing my body to convulse like never before. He'd never been so relentless. This was entirely something new.

He had his hand turned around, palm up, with two fingers pressing into my g-spot every time he entered me. My eyes began to roll into the back of my head as the heat began to rise. I could feel a strong tingling sensation pull itself through my body. "Oh, God, Edward, what're you doing to me?"

"C'mon, baby, I gotta see if this works." He leaned down and sucked my clit before he used his teeth. I don't know what came over me before my whole body began to convulse, my legs wanted to straighten, but with Edwards hold on me, I could barely move. It was like a shockwave of electricity shot through my entire body.

Edward jumped back when a scream erupted from me that could be heard for miles. "Aaaahhhh…Gooooodddddd!" He pulled his hand away and pushed my legs open as far as they could go. "Oh, my God!" I looked down, wondering what in the world was going on with my body only to look up and see my husband with a smile so freakin big that the astronauts in the space station could see it.

He literally looked like the cat that ate the canary. "Fuck, yeah, baby, you were squirting. I wasn't sure if I could do it."

My body began to calm, but I couldn't get over the fact that I felt like I just pissed all over our bed.

"Edward..." I was so embarrassed. I put my hand over myself, closing my legs and turning away from him. I couldn't believe he made me do that. I would have never thought in a million years that he would want to do something like that to me.

He climbed in behind me and pulled me to his chest. "Baby, don't be embarrassed; it's just you and me. Hell, we can shit with the bathroom door open and have a conversation with each other. Why's this bothering you?"

"I don't know..." I whispered. "I feel like I pissed all over myself."

"You didn't, honey. That just shows how much I can get you worked up and I loved it." He kissed my neck and snaked his hand up to my tits. He began rolling my nipple between his fingers and continued kissing up to my ear. "Can I please make love to my wife, now?"

I turned my head, capturing his lips with mine. My embarrassment ebbed away quickly as he maneuvered his other arm under me, placing it over my chest and pulling me closer. With his free hand, he reached down and pulled my leg up over his hip. I could feel his cock as he eased it closer to my entrance. I was still soaked from my last release, and I knew we'd have to change the sheets once we were done rolling in them.

"God, I love you," he whispered in my ear as he entered me. He began, slowly, thrusting. "You're so fuckin' wet," he said, placing his free arm over my chest, clamping onto his other arm. It was like he was holding me in place as he began to fuck me faster. I didn't feel constricted; I knew he didn't want me bouncing away from him with each powerful thrust that he was now using.

"Oh, fuck, Edward, I can't..." I was gripping onto the blanket as hard as I could. The harder he slammed into me, the tighter his grip became around me.

He was grunting into my ear followed by throatier groans as he began jackhammering into me. "Fuck, I'm gonna cum, baby," he growled into my ear.

He slammed into me really hard as he came. We'd had fast and hard before, but this was unlike ever before. He was absolutely primal as he slammed into me one last time, hard and loud, squeezing my chest until I could barely breathe. It wasn't too uncomfortable, but I knew he wasn't doing it on purpose. I wasn't sure what came over him tonight, but our love making had turned into red-hot, animalistic torture, but in a good way. I was like a ragdoll that loved every second of it.

We lay silently for a few minutes before he released me and rolled to his back. His arms had been so tight around me that it still felt like they were around me.

I rolled over and leaned up over him on my elbow. "What was that? Not that I'm complaining, but what the hell came over you? You've never been that rough before."

He covered his face with his hands and sighed, loudly. "Us guys got to talking," he said, dropping his arms down beside himself.

"About...what exactly?" I asked hesitantly. He sat up, dropping his feet to the floor. "Edward?"

"I'm sorry, if you didn't like it, we won't do it again, like that. I just couldn't stop thinking about the conversation us guys had." He turned to look at me. "I'm sorry, if I hurt you."

I scrambled up on my knees, closer to him, wrapping my arms around him the best I could. "You didn't hurt me, and I'd really like to know what this conversation was about."

He turned his head and pressed his lips to mine, smiling incredulously. He shook his head before he started to explain. "We got to talking about watching porn. Jasper had asked if I had ever made you squirt before and I felt stupid to even answer it."

"Oh, hell. Please tell me you guys didn't have a whole conversation about our sex life?" He looked entirely too guilty. "Oh, God, Edward. I won't be able to look at them the same, again."

"Yeah, well, how do you think I feel now that I know so much about Alice and Rose?" My eyes grew wide; he nodded at me. "Yeah, see what I mean?"

We talked a little more about their conversation before we changed our bedding and settled in for sleep. The next day was going to be long and trying for all of us especially now that we knew so much intimate details about each other.


"Mom, please tell me you brought the table. Alice almost had a panic attack yesterday thinking everything was screwed up." I was pulling my stockings on as I sat on my bed. My parents had arrived the day before and stayed with Momma Whitlock and John.

Mom sat down next to me. "Yes, honey. Your brother stopped by this morning and picked it up to take it over to the reception hall. Vicki and Maddie are already heading over to the church where we should be."

"Alice already left and I feel like I'm not fulfilling my Matron- of-honor, duties. I should be there with her right now, but I woke up feeling like shit this morning. This baby is giving me the worst morning sickness."

Mom wrapped her arms around me, hugging me from the side, tightly. "That just means you're gonna have a strong healthy baby, just like Avery."

"I hope so," I said, patting her arm that was across my chest. "C'mon, let's get this show on the road before Alice sends out the Calvary looking for me."

We made it to the church just as Vicki was helping Alice into her dress. My wonderful in-laws were taking care of Avery while Edward and I tended to our Best-man and M.O.H, duties. "It's about damn time you got here. I thought we were gonna have to start without you." Alice seemed irritated, but then she turned to me, hugging me. "I'm sorry; I'm not trying to be a bitch. I know you didn't feel good this morning."

"You're fine. I did bring your veil, though. You forgot it lying on the end of the couch." I turned from her and reached for the last piece of her wedding ensemble. I glanced over, seeing Gracie coloring in a coloring book. "Gracie..." I sing- songed. She popped her head up, waving at me before she went back to coloring.

"Like I said, what would I do without you?" She took the veil from me and handed it to Vicki who was standing back watching our exchange.

My hair and makeup was already done and all I had left to do was put my dress on. I had slipped on a pair of sweats and a hoodie to make the trip to the church. "Considering you're already insane..." I let my sentence trail off, reaching over and pulling my dress down from the hook behind the door.

Once we were done dressing, Vicki pulled out Alice's camera and started taking pictures as we finished up the last minute touches. "You two look absolutely beautiful." Vicki said, pulling Alice's dress out to flow around her feet. "Gracie, come stand by your sister," she instructed. "Jasper's gonna faint when he sees you."

"Lord, I hope not. That boy's been after me to marry him forever and if he fainted today, we'd be better off going to a J.O.P, to get married."

There was a knock on the door before my Dad poked his head in. "Ladies?"

He stepped into the room, his eyes growing wide as he looked at all five of us. Mom and Vicki were bridesmaids, and my dad was giving Alice away, leaving Gracie as a flower girl. Alice had promised her the moment Gracie learned that Alice and Jasper were getting married, and Alice's Mom was still M.I.A, so my parents stepped in to be her surrogates.

"Wow..." he whispered, loudly. "You five clean up pretty well." He looked up at Alice. "You ready?"

Alice smiled, infectiously. "Yeah, I'd say I am." She took a few steps over and wrapped her arms around him.

"Thank you, Charlie, for being here for me."

He hugged her back. "No need to thank me. I consider you one of my kids and I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm just sorry your Mom and Dad won't be here to witness how beautiful you are and what a perfect bride you make."

Alice pulled back from him, fanning her face. "Don't make me cry; it'll ruin my makeup. I can't look like a raccoon for my pictures later."

Vicki handed her a tissue. "Here, honey. I'm gonna go ahead and go downstairs. I'll wait for you down there."

"I'm gonna go, too." I turned, looking at mom and Gracie. "Mom?" She nodded at me. "We'll be waiting for you down there." I wanted to give Dad and Alice a few more minutes alone. She was nervous and leaving them alone for a few minutes, could put her at ease.

All of us made our way downstairs. We waited outside the double doors, in our formation, for Alice and Dad to arrive.

"She's glowing," Mom whispered, to me. "How far along is she?"

I turned to her, stunned that she would even know about Alice being pregnant. "How in the world..."

"A mother knows, honey. I've been pregnant three times and I see the signs written all over her face," she said, smiling at me. "You're glowing, too. You two are like the bobbsey twins. How far along is she?"

I shook my head. "I don't know, yet. She'll tell me after her doctor's appointment when they get back from their honeymoon."

"Alice is pregnant?" Vicki asked in a loud whisper. Her eyes wide in question. "Oh, my, God." She started bouncing up and down, clapping. "Two more babies." She covered her mouth, tears started flowing. "I want another baby, too. I've been wanting another baby since Avery was born."

I pulled her hands away from her face before placing my hands on her shoulders. "Please don't say a word about Alice. It's a surprise." I raised my brows at her. "And the baby thing, I'm sure my brother would be more than happy to help you out with that."

We turned as we heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Alice had a smile bigger than Texas, across her face. Dad was smiling, too, as they approached us. Alice had her arm looped through his and his other hand was resting over hers. "Are we ready?" He asked, looking at all of us. Gracie was fidgeting with the basket of flower petals. "Grace, stop fidgeting."

"Yes, Daddy."

Carlisle poked his head through the door. "All set?" We nodded, then he, quickly, disappeared back through the door. A moment later, the wedding march began, and two ushers pulled the doors open for Gracie to lead the way. Vicki was next, then Mom, leading up to me.

Jasper was beaming as we made our way down the aisle. Edward's face was masked like Jasper's. He mouthed, I love you, as I took my place at the front, by the alter. I blew him a kiss in return.

All three gentlemen looked as handsome as ever. Emmett, for some reason, looked huge. He was a big guy anyway, but seeing him in a Tuxedo, made him look even bigger.

As soon as Alice and Dad stepped through the door, I looked over at Jasper and I could, immediately, see the tears forming in his eyes. He was a manly man but he wasn't afraid to show his emotions. Edward patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him that he was there for him.

I looked out over everyone as they watched Alice proceed down the aisle. My grandparents were seated next to Carlisle and Esme, along with all of Jasper and Edwards' extended family. There were about two hundred people present to witness them exchange their vows.

Momma Whitlock and John were teary eyed as my Dad released Alice's hand to Jasper. The minister asked who was giving Alice away, leaving the answer to my Dad. He didn't hesitate, taking his surrogate duties, with pride. He then kissed Alice's cheek before stepping over next to John in the front row.

Alice was already over-flowing with tears. She'd have to make sure she touched up her makeup before we took pictures after the ceremony.

I could see the videographers getting a shot from every possible angle, to capture their special moment. I tried to hold my giggle in as I looked over at Edward. He was making weird faces at me. He kept puckering his lips like he was kissing me; licking them in the process. If he only knew that all of his actions were being recorded.

The whole ceremony lasted about fifteen minutes with the minister announcing that there would be a reception held at Windsor Hall; three blocks down from the church. Thank goodness it wasn't raining out, so mostly everyone decided to walk the three blocks.

Edward took Avery from his parents as soon as the ceremony was over. I grabbed my change of clothes from the dressing room and met him by his Denali. As soon as he finished buckling Avery into her car-seat he rushed around to the driver side. When I hopped into the passenger seat, my husband looked over at me then he leaned over, pressing his lips to mine. "You look beautiful, as always."

"Thank you. You look quite handsome yourself," I replied, reaching down, pulling off my heels. My feet were killing me and I hadn't been wearing them all that long.

It took us a whole three minutes before we pulled into the parking lot of Windsor Hall. Alice's wedding planner ushered us into the back part of the hall where we would be taking pictures. It took us nearly thirty minutes before Alice's assistant was happy with the shots she had of the whole wedding party.

James approached me as soon as Edward and I made our way into the great room where the reception was happening. "C'mere, missy. I've gotta have a chat with you."

"What'd I do?" I looked up at him quizzically.

Edward waved us off before looking for our daughter, who was, again, with her grandparents.

James pulled me into a hug. "I just wanna thank you."

"For what?" I mumbled into his chest.

He pulled back from our hug. "Vick wants another baby. I've wanted to start trying since we moved out here and it took you and Alice being pregnant, to convince her that she was ready."

I smiled up at him. "You're welcome, big brother. Maddie's gonna be so happy to have a baby brother or sister, to play with." I didn't want to mention that Vick said she'd been wanting a baby since Avery was born. It was redundant anyway.

"Well, I also wanted to tell you how happy I am that we made the move out here. My mom's actually considering moving, too. I hope she does especially now that we're gonna be trying for another baby. She misses Maddie so much."

We took a seat at one of the tables. He looked over, watching Vicki with Maddie. They were standing next to Edward, talking. David wasn't far behind, nursing a glass of champagne. "David's become a big part of our lives now. I never thought I could forgive him for all the stuff that happened before I was born, but he's proved that he's loyal to us."

"I know. I can't see us not having him in our lives. He loves Maddie and Avery so much." I perked up with more exciting news for him. "Oh, did you hear? He's dating."

"Who?" James asked, surprised.

"Carlisle's secretary, Mrs. Mason. She's supposed to be here; I haven't seen her, though."

James smiled. "Wow. Now that's something." He patted the table. "Who knows, maybe we'll be attending another wedding before too long."

I nodded in agreement. "I took Avery over to visit with him a few days ago and he's so happy. He only wishes that Agaytha came into his life a long time ago."

"Agaytha? What kind of name is Agaytha?"

I shook my head, smiling. "I'm not sure, but she says it's a family name. I think it's Swedish or something. I could be wrong. Anyway, she's good for him."

"She is, I suppose. He's got a smile on his face all the time, now. Every time I walk into the office, he's beaming. I'm pretty sure it's because he's happy for the first time in his life."

I smiled knowing how much David is truly happy. "C'mon, let's go mingle." We stood from the table, James draping his arm over my shoulder as we made our way over to where Vicki and Edward were standing. "There's my beautiful wife." James looked over at David. "Hey, Pops. Having a good time?"

David smiled, stunned at James calling him Pops. He was still getting used to us calling him endearing names. "Of course. I'm here with my family."

I stepped over and snaked my arms around him, hugging him tightly. "I'm glad you're here, Grandpa."

He hugged me in return, rubbing his hand up and down my back. "Me, too, kiddo. Me, too." I glanced up at him seeing tears in his eyes. "What?" He asked, acting like nothing was happening.

"You're crying. Why?"

"I never thought, in my entire life, that I'd have a family like this." He kissed my forehead, sitting his glass down on the bar. "Let's not get all weepy, now. I need to go find my woman. Have you seen her?"

I shook my head, smiling at his words. "No, but you could probably ask Esme if she's seen her." At that moment, his cell phone started ringing. "That could be her."

He pulled his phone from his pocket, smiling as he looked down at the screen. "Yep, excuse me while I take this. Hello, love..." I heard him say as he walked off, talking to his new love.

Before too long, the DJ was announcing the entrance of Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock. The crowd erupted in loud applause as Alice and Jasper made their way out to the center of the dance floor. Christina Perri's – A Thousand Years – the part two version of the song, started playing, leading Alice and Jasper into their first dance.

As the song played, it brought tears to my eyes. I was so happy for them. My two best-friends, married, finally. It seemed like it took us forever to get where we were today. I never thought I'd find the love of my life and Alice would find hers along the way, also. Our families were started and we were happy with our careers.

Just for You by Lionel Richie and Billy Currington, started playing next. Edward passed Avery off to Esme and pulled me out to the dance floor. Others started following behind us. I caught David out of the corner of my eye, walking toward us with Mrs. Mason in tow. She probably called to let him know that she had arrived and wanted him to meet her by the doors.

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist as I placed my hands on his chest. We danced, looking at each other with smiles on our faces. "I love you," he said, leaning down to kiss me.

"I love you, too; forever."

The reception lasted for another couple of hours. Emmett, Edward and James snuck out about an hour before Alice and Jasper left, to do something to the limo that was taking them to the airport.

When we all lined up outside to throw rice over them as they exited the building, the limo pulled up. I immediately started laughing. They had blown up condoms and attached them to the antenna and the door handles of the car. There were also empty coffee cans and shoes tied to the back bumper. I looked up at Edward. "You guys are insane."

"All fun and games, babe. Emmett tipped the limo driver a hundred and fifty bucks to be okay with what we did. He told us that we'd be surprised at what other people have done to his car for a bride and groom." Everyone started clapping as Jasper and Alice stopped at the top of the stairs of Windsor Hall. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Edward yelled out as they started walking down the stairs.

I elbowed him in the ribs. "Hey, that's not much, you horny beast."

He leaned over, kissing me. "That's me, baby, all the way. Just wait until I get you home."

Alice and Jasper stopped by us, Alice pulling me into a hug. "Thanks, bestie, for everything. We'll call as soon as we get back."

"Okay, love you and have lots of fun. Oh, and lots of sunscreen; you don't wanna come back like I did with a burnt ass." She laughed at me. "I'm not kidding; that shit hurts."

They were going to the same resort that Edward and I went to on our honeymoon. They loved the pictures that we took and wanted to experience it as well.

Jasper hugged me next. "Love you, girlie. See ya in two weeks."

"Love you, too, Jasper. Be safe, please."

They laughed and fist bumped each other like they struck Victory!


Thanks again,
