I was a quick, wet boy, diving too deep for coins,
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys,
A woman's wedding day, was said to be the happiest day of their lives. I have to say, that the journey here had pretty damn amazing too. When we were 17 years old, we were reunited and we fell in love. When we were 18, we committed the act of passion with each other for the first time. When we were 19 we left for college together. When we were 21, we both went our separate ways as we struggled through university. We were reunited again at 23, and dated for a further 2 years. On the 13th September, my 25th birthday, Edward proposed in front of all our friends and family, during my surprise party. Now, it's the day we've been ready for our whole lives, and at the age of 27, we're getting married on the 27th July, at 2pm at the Cullen's house.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF MY BED, NOW!" I groaned, covering my face with a pillow, wasn't it a bit early to be up? I looked over to the clock.
"Alice! It's 6:00 in the morning!" I told her, burying my face in the pillow again.
"Yes! Precisely! It only leaves me 8 hours to make you beautiful! Now get up! You're marrying my brother in 8 hours!" I sighed, sitting up.
"Okay, okay. Do you have to be so pushy?" I grumbled, running my fingers through my hair in an attempt to make it presentable.
"Oh shush, now get out of my bed!" She shouted.
"I'm up!" I shouted back, throwing the covers off me dramatically and standing up. Stretching and yawning, I looked to the doorway to see Esme standing there, practically beaming.
"What?" I asked, self consciously.
"Nothing, nothing. I just always thought of you as a daughter before you were taken away and then when you came back, and now you are going to be officially. I'm just really, really happy." She smiled through her tears as I hugged her tightly.
"I've always loved you like a mom, Esme. Always have done, always will do. That'll never change, I promise." I whispered in her ear, hugging her even tighter and soaking in the scent of 'mom'.
"Oh dear, dear Bella. I love you too."
"OKAY, I hate to break up this emotional little non-reunion but we've got to get Bella ready. Pronto!" Alice's voice trilled.
We both pulled away and I quickly wiped under my eyes, gathering up the tears. I looked over to Esme to see her doing the same, and I smiled, looking back to Alice and the room I was in.
I don't really understand why I can't sleep in my own bed, in my own house. Edward and I bought a house in between the Cullen's house and Charlie's house, a beautiful little cottage surrounded by trees. It had a large lawn, surrounded by a white fence. Nothing else mattered; it could have been a shed under a bridge for all I cared, as long as the two of us were together.
The cottage was a yellow colour, with a brown stable door and vines crawling around the frame. A typical fairytale setting, but it was mine and Edward's.
It had 3 floors; on the first was a rather largely sized family room, with pale wooden flooring and red and cream alternating painted brick walls, we had red lush sofa's surrounding the television that was a gift from Emmett. Apparently we couldn't have a house without an Xbox. Edward, Jasper and Emmett loved it anyway.
We also had a kitchen with a large island area, and up to date kitchen appliances, courtesy of Esme. Another room was a small library, thanks to Carlisle of course. He found some books that he no longer read, and put them in there to fill it up a bit. I had a large collection of books as well, and Edward had a few. There was another decent sized room, that we planned to turn into a play room for future children, the windows were grand and the light shined through the whole room.
On the second floor, we had a master bedroom belonging to Edward and I, with a walk in closet, of course. Alice wouldn't give up. Edward's music collection was giant compared to my measly one, so we joined up, filling the west wall with them. The bed was in the direct centre of the room, and the east window gave us a magnificent view of Forks.
Next to our room, was Edward's study, which just had a desk and his computer, shelves full of pictures and paper work stacked neatly in piles. It was the smallest room, but we don't really use it that much anyway.
My favourite photograph in that room is placed on his desk, directly next to his computer. He said it was because that way, he saw it every time he was in there. It was from when we were reunited after we'd been at university, and Alice had taken the photo. It was a zoom in of our faces, and my face was rested on Edward shoulder. We were both laughing and looking at each other from the corner of our eyes; we didn't even know she'd taken it until the flash momentarily blinded us.
Also on that floor, are 2 guest bedrooms. We hope one day that we could turn one of them into a nursery, which would leave one for any visitors, and they wouldn't have to sleep on the couch, despite its comfort.
On the third floor was a long hallway with two rooms. One was a composition room that held Edward's piano. I hardly ever went in there, it was like Edward's private little recluse, and I didn't want to intrude. When I'd told Edward this, he'd laughed at me of course, he told me that I was more than welcome, so I strolled in there sometimes, but I left him to it for the majority.
The other room was an exercise room. Both Edward and I had started to work out more, and the idea of a room that held all the necessary equipment seemed more sensible than having to drive to the only gym, which was in Port Angeles.
Alice was convinced that if I saw Edward last night it would have been bad luck for the wedding, which in my opinion was total rubbish. She won, however, so I was dragged to her house kicking and screaming yesterday, literally out of my bed. Even Edward's grabs couldn't get me back because Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle and Charlie all held him back as Esme, Rosalie and Alice pulled me out of the door. Edward struggled to get me back, but they were too strong. When he'd texted me, Alice had stolen my phone and sent a very threatening message that questioned the life of his manhood. He didn't text back.
"Okay then! What's first?" Alice asked, bringing me from my daydream.
"I think we should start with food?" I asked, laughing nervously.
"Oh, yeah. You have to eat." Alice muttered. "Dang it. That just messed up my schedule."
"What? Alice don't you eat or something?" I asked her.
"I already ate, Bella." She sighed.
"Well, why don't you do her hair while she eats?" Rosalie asked, and I jumped. I didn't even hear her come in.
"Rosalie, you are a genius." Alice thanked her, running out of the room shouting, "Is Shreddies okay Bella? Good!"
"Well, have I got a choice?" I muttered.
"No, I don't think you do." Esme chuckled. I laughed with her, falling backwards onto the bed. I could hear a phone ringing somewhere in the room, and I sat up, instantly on alert.
"We're just going to pretend we can't hear anything, but you know Alice will kill you when she comes up." Rosalie muttered, as the two of them backed into the corner of the room. I dived towards the phone, smiling widely when I saw Edward's name flashing on the screen.
"Hello?" I breathed.
"Bella! I didn't think you'd be able to answer!" Edward's voice crooned through the phone.
"I know; she's downstairs making my breakfast." I scowled.
"Lovely. What's on the menu?"
"Shreddies I believe."
"Ooh, nice." He laughed.
"Yeah, yeah. So why are you up so early? All you have to do is get dressed." I wondered aloud.
"Well, I was excited and I woke up." He admitted. "Emmett and Jasper are still crashing, that's why I've been allowed to phone you. I've been waiting my whole life to marry you, Isabella Swan-soon-to-be-Cullen."
"I like that sound of that." I smiled.
"ISABELLA SWAN! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Alice screamed, running into the room and slamming the bowl of cereal onto the desk.
"Uh oh," Edward murmured. He could hear her as well.
"Nothing! Alice, go away, NO!" I shouted, running to the other side of the room and through the door, down the stairs.
"BELLA!"
"Bella, maybe you should hang up." Edward asked, meekly.
"No! She can't win!" I replied.
"Yes, she can!" Alice shouted from behind me.
"SHIT!" I shouted as I began to fall.
"Bella! Are you okay!" Edward asked through the phone as I landed with a huff on the floor of the living room.
"Yeah I'm..." I was interrupted by the weight of Alice falling on top of me.
"My Goodness Alice, how much do you weigh?" I stuttered.
"None of your business, now give me the phone." She grasped the phone and pulled.
"God Alice, you're freakishly strong." I groaned.
"Yes. Goodbye Edward." Alice sang.
"NO! Alice, wait! At least let me say bye!" I pleaded.
"Fine! You're going to be the death of me." She grumbled.
"Hey, Edward." I sighed once I got the phone back.
"Hello Bella." He laughed. "You two are funny, you know."
"Har-Har. I've got to go because Alice is slapping me, Alice! OW!" I complained.
"Okay, I don't want you getting hurt." He worried.
"Goodbye Edward." I chuckled. "I love you."
"I love you too Bella." Alice grabbed the phone off me before I could reply, "I think you just ripped my ear off Alice."
I could hear Edward laughing through the phone.
"Now, come on! Hair!" Alice ordered.
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair,
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere.
I wasn't having many bridesmaids. Alice, Rosalie and Angela, Alice being my maid of honour. Edward's best man was Jasper, and Carlisle and Emmett were to stand beside him.
My mom was flying in now, and she should arrive at about 11am. Angela would arrive any time now and of course, Alice was freaking out. Apparently, Angela was "late", even though we weren't expecting her for another 10 minutes. I was currently sat in a surprisingly comfortable pink spinny chair belonging to Alice, munching on Shreddies as Rosalie and Esme put my hair into curlers. Katy Perry was blasting out of the speakers and Alice was sat on the phone, ripping her hair out. None of us had the heart to tell her we'd moved the clock forward an hour.
We heard Carlisle let Angela in downstairs. He'd come back home after the kidnapping as there wasn't enough room for him at our house. When she made her way up the stairs, she was pounced on, and we were trying to hold our laughter in.
"Angela! You are 62 minutes late!" Alice screamed as she pinned her to the bed.
"No, I'm 2 minutes early." Angela laughed, showing her her watch. Alice walked over to her clock, and then checked her phone, and then the clock and then her phone, before she turned to us, glaring.
"It wasn't me!" I held my hand up.
"Bella!" Esme and Rosalie shouted.
"You're all going to die." Alice glared murderously.
"Alice, you'll mess up my hair!" I smirked, knowing she wouldn't dare do anything to ruin my hair.
"Fine, I'll kill you after the wedding."
"Honeymoon." I smiled.
"I hate you." She sniffed.
"Love you too!"
I didn't actually know where my honeymoon was going to be. Everybody knew but me, and no-one would tell me! Being one of the two people going, I thought I had the right to know, but apparently not.
"Right! The curlers are officially in place." Alice grinned, clapping her hands.
"Bella, you look a little green. Are you okay?" Angela asked.
"I think I'm going to be sick." I murmured behind my hand as I ran to the bathroom. As I vomited my breakfast of Shreddies into the toilet, Rosalie came behind me and held my hair back.
"Bells, are you okay?" Esme asked once I was done.
"Yeah, I've been feeling sick for quite a while. I'm sure it's just the bug." I told them.
"No, wait...you felt like this for how long?" Carlisle asked, walking in to the bathroom.
"Quite a while, I'm not really sure." I told him. "I'm really hungry actually."
"Bella, when was that last day of your menstrual cycle?" Carlisle asked in Doctor mode.
"What? Are you saying I'm pregnant?" I asked, shocked. There was no way I could be pregnant, was there? I counted back in my head. No, that makes no sense, I used my fingers to count. It doesn't add up! I must be counting wrong.
"BELLA!" Alice, Esme, Carlisle and Rose shouted.
"What?" I asked, mad that I'd been interrupted.
"How long?" Carlisle asked.
"I don't know! Give me a second!" I pleaded, counting again.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10.
No, wait I counted twice.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
"I'm late. I'm 10 days late." I whispered, staring at my fingers.
"Bella, I'm going to the store to get you a pregnancy test, but you need to carry on getting ready, okay?"
I nodded dumbly and let myself me ushered back to the room. My mom was arriving any minute, and it wasn't really an appropriate time...too late. I could hear her boisterous voice floating up the stairs and her shouts of "Bella!" coming closer to the door.
Alice got up to tell her where we are, and I just sat down, dazed. There's no way I can be pregnant. Edward and I had never had sex without protection.
"Bella! Oh my baby!" Renee gushed as she walked in.
"Bella? What's wrong?" Mom asked, worriedly.
"We think she might be pregnant." Esme told her.
"Bells! I'm gonna be a grandma?" She asked.
"I'm not sure..." I trailed off when Carlisle came into the room.
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill looming
The seven of us sat silently round that little stick, but none of us looked at it. None of us dared. When the timer on Alice's phone beeped, I took a deep breath, but no one said anything. I cautiously peeked an eye open to see everyone else's still closed. I sighed, and opened them fully, reaching for the stick taunting me on the counter.
"Well?" Renee asked. I paused.
I sighed. "I'm pregnant."
And then I laughed. I had a laughing fit that that had me rolling about on the floor, and I have no idea why.
"Bella, are you okay?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine! I'm gonna be a mom!" I gushed once I calmed down.
"We're going to be grandmas!" Esme and Renee shouted as they hugged each other.
"Okay! I hate to break up the party but all males, out of the room! We have a wedding to prepare for."
I fell back into the pink chair, exhausted, as they took the curlers out of my hair and began to pin it up.
Wow, a baby. I mean sure, we'd talked about having a baby and everything, but not when we going to have one. I knew Edward had wanted one for a while now, he's a family man. The thought of never having a child had never really bothered me before, but now I'm carrying a child, Edward's child, it's like... I can't describe it. There aren't any words.
"Bells, you need to close your eyes so we can do your make up." I closed them tightly, smiling. In an hour and a half, I'd see Edward, and I'd marry him. Our love will be official.
"Wipe that cheesy grin off of your face as well." Rose laughed.
"Sorry."
I let them prod and poke my face, to be honest I just zoned out. I think I even fell asleep for a little bit as they pampered me, painting my fingers and toe nails and made final touches to my hair, and before I knew it, it was time to slip into my dress.
It was really beautiful, strapless, and white lace around the breast, but flowing, as white silk falls down to my feet. Plain, simple, and me. I had white shoes with a slight heel, I practised walking in them and I'd danced with Carlisle to practise. I wasn't allowed to practise with Edward.
My hair was curly, but pinned to my head. Loose curls fell out in places and around my face, giving me a 'natural beauty' look. Blue pins had been placed at the sides, courtesy of my dad and mom. My makeup matched, white and brown eye shadow framed my eyelids, and mixed together in a subtle look, and black eyelashes made the brown on my eyes shine. My natural blush had been heightened with rosy powder, and it contrasted beautifully with my ivory cream skin.
Alice's garter was firmly in place on my left thigh, and I'd placed a placed a picture of the pregnancy test inside it, so Edward would find it when he took it off.
We'd decided to have the wedding here. It was where we were reunited the first time, and it had the biggest hall in Forks anyway.
The music started – Claire De Lune – and I could hear the guests downstairs begin to quiet down. Renee ran down to get her seat after wishing me good luck and telling me she loved me, Esme followed soon after.
Charlie was waiting for me at the top of the steps, and I grabbed his arm like it was a vice grip.
"I knew this was coming, Bells." He told me as we waited.
"Huh?"
"I knew you'd marry him." He told me, inclining his head towards the stairs. "Ever since that day we had Billy and Jake over for dinner and you were wearing his jumper."
"Is that why you weren't mad when you saw me in it? I thought you'd go ballistic." I laughed.
"Yeah, you can't change the future, Bells."
"Come on!" Alice trilled.
"Unless you Alice." I muttered under my breath to Charlie.
"I heard that!" Alice sang.
"You were supposed to!" I sang back.
"Angela, Rose, you're up!" She exclaimed, ignoring me. I rolled my eyes.
"Sir yes, Sir!" As they began their descend down the stairs, I watched with envy. How was I supposed to get down there without falling? Charlie seemed to notice my worry.
"I won't let you fall, Bells." He whispered in my ear, and I grasped his arm tighter.
The music changed to the wedding march, and Alice walked down the stairs. When she got to the bottom, we slowly began the walk. I hadn't seen the decorations yet, as the only time I'd been downstairs was when I was chased by Alice, so I wasn't prepared for the beauty of it. Flowers and candles surrounded the seats filled with all our friends and family. Petals were fluttered along the aisle, and the flames from the candles and the sun shining through the windows were the only visible light source.
"Oh, Dad, before I forget." I whispered as we walked.
"Yes?"
"I'm pregnant." I whispered back.
"I know."
"What?" I asked, shocked.
"Your mother. Congratulations." Was all he said back. Of course, she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
For the first time, I looked to the front where the minister – Angela's Father stood – and to Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper, looking smart in black suits with white shirts, and then finally, I locked eyes with Edward. The feeling of absolute love in his eyes and smile could have knocked me over if it wasn't for Charlie. He looked impeccable, in a black suit with a white button up shirt similar to the others. He had it button to the top with a loose black tie on, and he looked gloriously happy. I couldn't wait to see his face when he saw we were pregnant.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, we reached the alter. Charlie placed my hand in Edward's and went to sit down as I stood facing Edward.
"You're beautiful." Edward whispered to me.
"You clean up pretty good yourself." I smirked, taking both his hands in mine.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony." Pastor Weber began, but I stopped listening, only really paying attention to Edward's brilliant green eyes shining back at me. I was crying when it came to my own vows. We planned traditional ones, wanting to keep the romance and love between us to ourselves. We didn't feel the need for everyone else to know what we think of it each other to such depth.
"Do you Edward Anthony Cullen take Isabella Marie Swan to be your wife in the holy estate of matrimony? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." He smiled, a grin so wide it nearly fell off of his face.
"Do you Isabella Marie Swan take Edward Anthony Cullen to be your husband in the holy estate of matrimony? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honour and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." I grinned back.
We exchanged rings, and Edward cried a little when he slipped his on my ring finger, they were plain, normal gold with a simple "I love you" engraved on the side.
"And so, by the power vested in me by the State of Washington and Almighty God, I now pronounce you man and wife – and may your days be good and long upon the earth.
You may now kiss the bride."
I smiled, and looked up to Edward as he stared down at me, before pressing his lips against mine – our first kiss as husband and wife.
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
After being passed through the crowd of people waiting to congratulate us, we walked through the doors of the Cullen mansion and onto the patio that was decorated similarly to inside of the house. We spoke with everyone who came to the wedding, and I danced with Charlie, and Carlisle, Renee and Esme, Rose, Angle and Alice, Jasper and Emmett, Jake... pretty much everyone. When I finally got back to Edward, he dragged me to the dance floor as everyone else departed, leaving room for us. I put my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist, and we danced to the song 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' by Iron & Wine.
"You look unbelievably beautiful today, Bella." He told me. I blushed and smiled up at him.
"I love you." I whispered, ignoring the flashed from the cameras as he kissed me again.
"I love you too, Mrs Cullen." He smiled. I laughed and threw my head back, groaning. It's going to take a while to get used to that one.
"I like the sound of that." I grinned.
"Me too." He agreed, kissing me again.
When the song ended, I danced with a few more people before Alice dragged us towards the patio. I stood facing the windows as all the ladies stood behind me. I sighed, before throwing my bouquet, into the waiting hands of Miss Angela Weber, who blushed and looked towards Ben, who was smiling widely at her. I grinned at them and turned to Edward.
"Cake time!" Alice shouted, and we walked over to the three tier wedding cake that was covered in white frosting. It was made especially for us by Jasper, who had taken up the hobby and opened up a bakery. On the top tier, it said 'Congratulations, Edward & Bella'.
He took turn shoving it in each other's faces, regular traditional wedding stuff and I was eventually pushed into a chair as Edward kneeled –winking- in front of me, reaching to grasp my garter ignoring all the whistles from the crowd as I blushed. He paused, once he hit the picture, and he brought it to his face to examine it, garter forgotten.
His mouth dropped open, and he looked at me, trying to get the words out of his mouth that wouldn't come.
"Positive?" He asked.
"Positive." I raised an eyebrow at him.
"We're pregnant?" His chin quivered in the most adorable way.
"I'm pregnant, thank you very much." I scoffed.
"How long have you known?" He asked, grinning.
"About 5 hours." I answered.
"Bella, baby. We're pregnant." He shouted, picking me up in his arms and spinning me around, and I laughed, tears falling from my eyes.
"We're having a baby." I whispered in his ear.
He cried, his tears mixing with my own as we kissed under the twilight.
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
