Hey guys, thank you for your on-going commitment on this story. I am trying to get it to you quicker but I am juggling multiple stories and life commitments which is preventing me from getting them to you as quick as I would like. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxo.


A couple of days had passed since my conversation with Ben to renew our vows and we decided that we would make the announcement at the next family meal. The meal was lovely and it was great to spend time with everyone; it felt as if our lives might finally return to normal. Well as normal as it was ever going to be - drama would always follow me, Ben and Edward around. Even though I was enjoying seeing our friends and family my mind was continually on Edward as I was also concentrating my hyper sense hearing on him. We were in the middle of a conversation with Evie and Belle about what my college plans were going to be in September but I heard Edward stir and grunt which made me freeze.

"Hang on" I quickly said before quickly teleporting out of the room.

"What?" I heard Jay ask as I walked towards Edward's cot. My fear quickly disappeared when I saw that Edward was lying awake; however when he noticed that I was there he started to thrash his arms and legs quickly about.

"You scared me then" I cooed as I reached into Edward's cot and picked him up.

"Any reason to get a cuddle" I chuckled as I brought him to my chest. Edward looked up at me before he snuggled into my chest; I pressed a kissed onto his head as I heard Ben's voice.

"She's gone to see Edward" he advised everyone.

"How do you know?" Carlos asked.

"We don't really need a baby monitor as Mal has hyper sense hearing; every time she hears a noise she goes to check on him" Ben chuckled which made me roll my eyes. I started to rock Edward lightly in my arms before I heard Belle's voice.

"There's nothing wrong with that" she stated bluntly.

"I know" Ben replied.

"I'm not saying it's a bad thing" Ben said defending himself.

"I think it is very cute" he said lovingly and I knew that he would be smiling.

"It wouldn't surprise me if she brings Edward back here with her" I heard him joke.

"It would appear that daddy wants to see us both" I laughed before I quickly teleported back to them.

"Ben it's rude to talk about me like that" I warned Ben as I dropped back into my seat.

"I said nothing out of turn honey" Ben said quickly defending himself as he leaned towards me and glanced down at Edward.

"I know" I muttered.

"I suppose" I said as I looked up at him and smiled.

"Now you are back we can do you know what" Ben muttered.

"You know what?" Belle asked as she pulled one brow up in confusion.

"Go on" I prompted as I nodded at Ben.

"Me and Mal would like to make an announcement" Ben declared.

"Ok" Adam said.

"What?" Carlos asked.

"Well marrying Mal was the best thing to ever happen to me" Ben said happily as he placed his right hand on my left shoulder.

"Yes things didn't exactly go to plan but I wouldn't change a thing" he added.

"I'm happily married with a perfect prince" he finished as he dropped his hand from my shoulder and stroked the top of Edward's head.

"Ben dear-" Belle started.

"We know all of this" Belle added.

"What are you trying to tell us?" Evie asked eagerly. I quickly looked up at Evie and smiled at her; I then heard Edward gurgle in my arms which made me look back down at him. I still couldn't believe that Edward was mine; he was perfect. I loved running my fingers through his purple locks and I couldn't help but smile when he snuggled into my chest and yawned up at me. I hadn't been a mother for very long but I already knew one thing for certain; I was completely in love with my son. I would always love and protect him and I couldn't understand how I went through what I went through with my mother. I couldn't understand that my mother couldn't have the same bond with me as I had with Edward. Surely she felt some bond, after all I did grow in her stomach; she would have felt me move just like I did with Edward. But this was by the by now and I was adamant that Edward was never going to go through anything that I had gone through - ever!

"Me and Mal wouldn't change a thing however we feel as if we missed out slightly. So we are going to renew our wedding vows in six weeks time" Ben announced happily as he looked at me lovingly.

"Why?" Evie asked as she pulled one brow up.

"So we can do things properly" I answered as I looked up at her as I felt Edward wrap his fingers around my right index finger.

"I feel as if because I was pregnant things were rushed and we missed certain parts of getting married" I advised.

"Like a hen party" Evie said smugly.

"Maybe" I answered with a smirk.

"So really you want to renew your vows so you can get drunk?" Jay asked slowly.

"No Jay" I advised.

"Well maybe a little" I chuckled.

"However this time there are going to be a few changes" I said as I looked back down at my perfect prince.

"Like?" Jay asked.

"We only want it to be a small family affair" Ben answered for me.

"Ok" Adam replied.

"Anything else?" Belle asked.

"Ben has a new best man" I advised.

"Who?" Belle asked as she pulled one brow up in confusion. I quickly threw Ben a look before I readjusted myself so she could get a better look at the bundle in my arms.

"I see" Belle said happily.

"That's going to make a stag party hard" Carlos noted.

"How?" I asked.

"Well Edward can't plan it can he?" Carlos asked as I pulled Edward back to my chest.

"Well Ben's groomsmen can" I said as I prodded Edward's noise and he looked up at me.

"Ben knows my rules" I muttered with a smirk.

"And Mal knows mine" Ben muttered which made me look up at him.

"What rules?" Evie asked.

"You best tell her" I stated.

"She might listen to you" I added which made Evie start to throw confused looks at me and Ben.

"Maybe" I added.

"You know who Mal is going to ask to be her maid of honour" Ben stated as he looked at Evie.

"Yes" Evie said proudly.

"So I'm going to warn you now" he warned as he started to wag his finger in Evie's direction.

"Yes?" Evie asked nervously.

"No strippers" Ben finished.

"I can't really promise that" Evie stated dismissively.

"Evie!" I snapped.

"What?" she asked incredulously.

"I really don't want one" I advised as I winced.

"I have Ben" I stated nervously as I knew how this was going to sound to everyone but out the corner of my eye I saw that Ben was very happy with my answer.

"Too much info" Jay muttered.

"Ha!" I said sarcastically.

"Just promise him E" I begged as I started to rock Edward.

"You know he'll panic otherwise" I added.

"Ok" Evie replied.

"I promise" she said.

"But you've just killed the fun" she whined as she pouted at Ben.

"It's ok E" I said.

"Me and Ben have an arrangement" I chuckled.

"He's not allowed one either" I said shaking my head as I felt Edward snuggle into my chest again.

"I see" she noted.

"Nope" Ben said happily.

"I don't want one" he advised as he stood up and crouched down next to me so he could look at me and Edward better.

"So when did you say you wanted to do this?" Adam asked.

"In six weeks time" Ben advised as he tore his eyes away from us.

"Ok" Adam said nodding.

"That seems doable" he said with a smile.

"Yeah" Belle agreed.

"I don't see any problems with that" she added.

"So it looks like me, you and Evie need to start planning again" Belle said happily.

"Yes Belle" I said as I looked up at her.

"I believe we do" I added and we went on to enjoy the rest of our family meal.
