Chapter 9: Bells We're Up To Bat Continued.

Bella Pov:

Edward pulled me onto the dance floor as Lifehouse's You and Me began.

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

Edward twirled us around the dance floor with everyone watching us. Ok Edward had to teach me to dace. It was fun leaning. Each time I would get a dance right with no mistakes Edward would reward me.

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

"I love you Mrs. Cullen." Edward said dipping me for a kiss. I responded immediately. Edward pulled me up from the dip. "I love you too Mr. Cullen." I said. We continued dancing around the beautifully decorated dance floor.

You've got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

And me and all other people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

The song we were dancing to was beautiful. It had so much meaning in such a simple song. Edward was singing the song softly into my ear. I smiled up at him. I was married to Edward Cullen it was something I couldn't believe.

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

Once the song finished Edward dramatically bowed. I had to laugh at that. I played along and curtseyed. The next song began. I looked over at my Dad who was talking to Sue Clearwater. "Go ahead." Edward said letting me go. I walked over to my Dad.

"Excuse me. May I borrow my Father for the Father/Daughter dance?" I asked holding out my hand to my father. He placed his hand in mine and we walked to the middle of the dance floor and began to dance.

I Loved Her First by Heartland is what I chose for the dance between my Dad and I.

Look at the two of you dancing that way

Lost in the moment and each other's face

So much in love you're alone in this place

Like there's nobody else in the world

I was enough for her not long ago

I was her number one

She told me so

And she still means the world to me

Just so you know

So be careful when you hold my girl

Time changes everything

Life must go on

And I'm not gonna stand in your way

My Dad was always a quiet person. He didn't show his emotions much but when he did he tries to keep them under control. My Dad was happy his only daughter was married but he didn't want to let me go but he had to let me go and live my own life.

But I loved her first and I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it's still hard to give her away

I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you?

Be the same freckle face kid that I knew

The one that I read all those fairy tales to

And tucked into bed all those nights

And I knew the first time I saw you with her

It was only a matter of time

"Love you Kid. You look stunning." Charlie said his voice was full of emotion. Charlie spun us around. He must have had dance lessons as well. "You look handsome Dad. Don't you clean up well." I teased.

But I loved her first and I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it's still hard to give her away

I loved her first

"Don't be cheeky Isabella." He said jokingly.

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

Someday you might know what I'm going through

When a miracle smiles up at you

I loved her first

As the song ended I gave my Dad a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He led me off the dance floor. I saw Edward leading Esme onto the dance floor.

Edward Pov:

"May I have this dance?" I said holding out my hand to Esme. He placed her hand into mine and I pulled her into my arms for our dance. I chose a song that represented how she had helped me over the years. It was how I appreciated her.

Music Of My Heart by N' Sync and Gloria Estefan

You'll never know, what you've done for me

What your faith in me, has done for my soul

You'll never know the gift you've given me

I'll carry it with me, yeah yeah

Through the days ahead I'll think of days before

You made me hope for something better

And made me reach for something more

We waltzed around the dance floor while Esme was sobbing at my song choice. Her mind was going a mile a minute and I couldn't catch a coherent thought at all from her.

You taught me to run

You taught me to fly

Helped me to free the me inside

Helped me hear the music of my heart

You opened my eyes

You opened the door

To something I've never known before

And your love, is the music of my heart

(Music of my heart)

"Edward, the song is beautiful. I can't see why you chose it." Esme said confused.

"Esme I chose the song because it explains how you have helped me over the years and what you have done for me." I explained as I gently kissed my Mother's cheek.

You were the one, always on my side

(Always on my side)

Always standing by

(Always standing by)

Seeing me through

You were the song that always made me sing

(Made me sing)

I'm singing this for you

Everywhere I go, I'll think of where I've been

And all of ones who knew me better then any

One ever will again

You taught me to run

You taught me to fly

Helped to free the me inside

Helped me hear the music of my heart

You opened my eyes you opened the door

To something I've never known before

And your love, is the music of my heart

What you've taught me

Only your love could ever teach me

You got through when no one could reach me before

'Cause you always saw in me

All the best that I could be

It was you who set me free

You taught me to run

You taught me to fly

Helped me to free the me inside

Helped me hear the music of my heart

You taught me to run

You taught me to fly

Helped me to free the me inside

(Me inside) Helped me hear the music of my heart

(Music of my heart)

Helped me hear the music of my heart

You opened my eyes

You opened the door

To something I've never known before

And your love, is the music of my heart

Music of my heart

Is the music of my heart?

Once the song was over. Esme and I walked off the dance floor Esme was very happy at the moment. Esme finally got to see me get married to my mate. Carlisle and Bella took to the dance floor I noticed the song as My Wish by Rascal Flatts.

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,

And each road leads you where you want to go,

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

And if one door opens to another door closed,

I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,

If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,

All the ones who love you, in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

And you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,

And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this is my wish.

This is my wish

I hope you know somebody loves you

May all your dreams stay big

Bella and Carlisle walked off the dance floor and Bella walked over to Emmett and asked him to dance to the song that begun to play.

Bella Pov:

"Thank you for the dance Carlisle." I gave him a gentle hug. I walked over to Emmett I held my hand out to him.

"Come on Emmy Bear come have a dance with your little sister." I said cheekily. Mariah Carey's song Hero came on over the speakers. Emmett pulled me to him and we began to slowly waltz around the dance floor.

"Bells you are a great dancer, did Eddie teach you?" Emmett asked teasingly. I nodded to him. "Yeah and each time I got a dance wrong he would reward me." I said. Emmett's mind must be going the wrong way. "Emmett he gave me chocolate. What do you think he gave me?" I laughed.

There's a hero If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid of what you are

There's an answer if you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

"That was not funny Bella." Emmett pouted. My shoulders shook with laughter as we danced.

It's a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold

You can find love If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt will disappear

"Admit it, you think it was funny." I said. I loved teasing Emmett a change from him teasing Edward and I. I saw everyone watching Emmett and I dance. Edward was standing around talking to Charlie and Esme. Alice and Jasper were talking softly their heads close together. Rose was talking to Carlisle.

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

"Emmy Bear you are one of my greatest heroes. Even if you do tease Edward and I constantly about our sex life or there lack of." I said. Even though Edward and I do have a sex life now.

Lord knows ...

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away...

"Aw thanks Bells." Emmett said twirling me around.

Hold on there will be tomorrow

In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

"Thank you for the dance Emmett. Oh and if you mention anything about Edward being a man finally after our honeymoon I will personally kill you. Thanks Emmett." I said walking over to where Jasper was. "Hey Jasper you having fun?" I asked.

"I am and congratulations little sis welcome to the family." Jasper said pulling me into a hug. I signaled to the band to start playing the next song someone then began the music to Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler.

"Come on Jasper one dance." I said dragging him with me. He let me of course I would have never been able to pull him myself. He put one of his hands on my waist and one in my hand. I placed my hand on his shoulder and gripped his hand in mine.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

It must have been cold there in my shadow,

to never have sunlight on your face.

You were content to let me shine, that's your way.

You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,

while you were the one with all the strength.

A beautiful face without a name for so long.

A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,

and everything I would like to be?

I can fly higher than an eagle,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,

but I've got it all here in my heart.

I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.

I would be nothing without you.

"Great song choice Bella. It is a beautiful song." Jasper said twirling us around. Jasper was daring he spun me out then he spun me back in. I was surprised I could do that without falling in my heels.

"Well the song is true. You are one of my heroes. There is Edward well you could call him my knight in a silver Volvo, you, Emmett, Carlisle, Charlie, Esme, Rose, Alice." I said. Jasper placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. He was my favorite calm brother. Emmett was my favorite fun brother.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

You're everything I wish I could be.

I could fly higher than an eagle,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

You're everything, everything I wish I could be.

Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.

You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.

Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,

So high I almost touch the sky.

Thank you, thank you,

Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

Once the song ended Jasper playfully bowed and I curtseyed. I saw Edward pull Alice onto the dance floor as There You'll Be by Faith Hill began to play. I went to go talk to Angela, Ben and Mike who was with Jessica.

I also saw Jacob and Leah here talking to Charlie and Sue.

Edward Pov:

"Thank you for making our wedding a great success Ali." I said hugging my sister. We began to dance to There You'll Be.

When I think back

On these times

And the dreams

We left behind

I'll be glad 'cause

I was blessed to get

To have you in my life

When I look back

On these days

I'll look and see your face

You were right there for me

In my dreams

I'll always see you soar

Above the sky

In my heart

There will always be a place

For you for all my life

I'll keep a part

Of you with me

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

Well you showed me

How it feels

To feel the sky

Within my reach

And I always

Will remember all

The strength you

Gave to me

Your love made me

Make it through

Oh, I owe so much to you

You were right there for me

"So when were going to tell me about the other day. Not that I wanted to get that mental image of my brother." Alice said. Oh God she knows that is kind of creepy. I shot a look at her to keep quiet about it.

In my dreams

I'll always see you soar

Above the sky

In my heart

There will always be a place

For you for all my life

I'll keep a part

Of you with me

"Oh get over it Edward it's natural. Next time I don't want mental pictures." She said too quietly for anyone else to hear.

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

'Cause I always saw in you

My light, my strength

And I want to thank you

Now for all the ways

You were right there for me

For always

In my dreams

I'll always see you soar

Above the sky

In my heart

There will always be a place

For you for all my life

I'll keep a part

Of you with me

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

"Go on dance with Rose. I know the song you chose was a little up in tempo but it will be fine. Put some dance moves in there." Alice said. I rolled my eyes at Alice and walked off the dance floor.

A/n: Chapter 10 will be posted once I edit all the writing and spelling. May take a few minutes. Thanks for reading.
