Thanks to Stacey, Marie and Emily for reviewing anonymously! :D

Anyways, I was looking at my hits, and I got like waaaaayyy more hits than reviews. I'm not saying I'll hold back on the writing, but it would be very appreciated if I got some more reviews. Please and thanks.

A/N: I don't own twilight

Edward POV

Once Bella was dead asleep I pulled out my cell phone.

"Alice, do you mind getting Bella and me tickets for Florida. Tomorrow would be best."

"Sure, and it should be cloudy the whole time your down there. Nice timing."

"Thank you. I'll be by in the morning for my stuff."

I hung up and watched Bella's serene face. She was so beautiful. It still confused me when she thought she was unworthy. How could an angel be unworthy?

As the sun came up Bella stirred. I knew she couldn't stay asleep much longer when she was so anxious to go see her mother.

I hated seeing Bella in pain. It brought me pain. I liked Renee, I was looking forward to this wedding, even more that I knew Bella was finally excited. Now that Renee couldn't come, it was more sad than happy. Bella's last human experience, (well, that her mother would see) and she couldn't see her daughter. Her beautiful daughter in that beautiful wedding dress that I "hadn't" seen.

Bella tossed around some more. I sighed.

"Wake up love. Florida is waiting for us."

She grumbled and sat up. "Too early," she mumbled all the way to the bathroom.

I laughed as I headed home to get my clothes. I knew Bella would be ecstatic when I got back.

Bella POV

I hurried to shower and brush my teeth, secretly trying to beat Edward back to my room. I knew I wouldn't, but it was a good laugh when I was by myself. I got dressed and didn't bother brushing my hair as I ran back to my room.

He wasn't there. Holy crow I beat him! I started packing my clothes, pleased with myself until I opened my closet.

I screamed at the top of my lungs. Every part of my body went dead and I fell on my face.

Realization hit as I heard the velvet laugh I could recognize even in unconsciousness.

"Edward!" My yell was louder than I meant. "Edward, why did you do that?" I was outraged and surprised I hadn't wakened Charlie.

"I know that you always try to beat me, I thought it'd be fun to see what happened when you did. When you're surprised, it's a bit of a turn on, love." He flashed his crooked smile at me.

"Never again Edward, never again."

Two pieces of paper flashed before me. "Ready?"

I was about to say yes when I belatedly remembered Charlie.

"Oh man, I totally forgot about Charlie, I can't just–," Edward cut me off.

"I asked him this morning when I came over. He's perfectly fine with it, we're just to call when we get there."

"Do you always think of everything?" I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as we headed for the airport.

His crooked smile never ceased to make my heart skip a beat.

6 hours later

When my mother found us I knew she was excited.

"Bella!" The squeal stopped most of the murmurs from everyone else. Great.

"Mom!" Squeals were contagious.

We hugged and she – reluctantly – turned to Edward.

"Edward, how are you?" I could tell it was still hard for her – considering how young I was – that we were getting married.

"Lovely and you?"

"Great, just great."

"Can we go home now? I'm so tired from the flight." If I was being honest I just wanted to get to the house in case the sun came out. I never bet on Alice, but if the weather changed at the last moment, I had no desire to tell my mom that my fiancée was a vampire.

When we got to the house Edward set our stuff up in Renee's extra bedroom. The smell of the house washed over me, although it wasn't my home, it still smelled like it had in Phoenix. My mom's cleaners and candles reminded me of the life I had once had. I wondered absently about what would have happened if I hadn't of met Edward while Renee made us dinner. I sat on the couch and flipped through the channels, not seeing what was on them.

I would still be plain old Bella. I'd probably hooked up with someone here in Florida. Would I have been as happy? Would I have gone on, not needing Edward? Of course I would. I wouldn't have known him. I started panicking at that thought, life without Edward would be my personal hell. But would I have known that, not actually knowing Edward?

My head began to hurt at the possibilities of all the options I could have had. Then again, that was fate. Edward was the bane of my existence. And I was his. I began to appreciate him even more than I thought I ever could.

Edward came and scooted up next to me on the couch, slipping his arm around my shoulders.

"What were you thinking? It looked like you were going to implode," his soft laugh shook the couch.

"I was thinking about how much I love you." I looked to see if Renee was looking and stretched up to kiss him.

Edward's lips met mine just as I turned back to him. His kiss was hard, but in a good way. It was pure passion. I didn't want to stop, but he pulled away and laughed at my fallen face.

"Later, your mother is watching." He whispered into my ear.

I turned and sure enough, Renee's ever watchful eyes were glued to me, but as soon as I saw she looked away, as if she had never seen anything.

"She will have questions about how far we've gone for you later."

I groaned inwardly at this. I already had this talk with Charlie, I didn't want to go through it again.

Edward and I had dinner alone due to the face Renee had to take care of Phil in their bedroom. I welcomed our alone time.

"You're mom wants to go on a night stroll with you, but she doesn't want to be rude, so she's inviting me. I'm going to go to sleep." He winked at me. "I brought some books to read while I had to be alone. I'll be waiting for you beautiful."

Renee walked in carrying Phil and her plates.

"Bella, Edward, I was wondering if you'd like to go on an evening stroll with me." She turned to me expectantly.

"Sure, sure." I laughed at my casual use of Jacob and his fathers saying. I had even mastered the patronizing tone.

"Actually, I'm still tired from the flight. If you don't mind I'd like to go to bed."

"That's fine," her face didn't hide her happiness that it was just me going with her.

"Good night Bella." He kissed me quickly on the cheek, his ice cold lips giving me goose bumps up and down my arms.

"Love you." I called as he walked to the bedroom.

His crooked smile sent my heart fluttering – I could feel it thump in my chest. "Love you more."

As our door shut Renee laughed. "You two remind me of myself when I was your age. Young and in love." She sighed. Oh no, I thought. Another talk about how I was rushing into things. It was my turn to sigh.

"Are you sure you want to do this Bella? You could always wait a few years, there's no need to hurry into things." Right – if she only knew the people after me. I couldn't afford to wait much longer on the Volturi.

"I mean, don't get me wrong, Edward is an exceptional boy. I just don't want you to make the same mistake I did. Although, I must say, I love the result of it." She grabbed my hand and squeezed as we walked out the door.

"I know mom. Don't worry – Edward and I will always be together." Forever.

"I guess I'm just nervous for you. It is quite exciting though. This Alice girl seems like quite the planner." She laughed at the stories I had told her about all the parties Alice had thrown me.

"I know mom. I wish you could go." I fought back the tears I could feel coming on.

"Oh honey, you have no idea how much I want to be there. Its just Phil, he can't be alone." Her eyes told me she was completely torn. I had to make her feel better.

"It'll be okay mom. I wanted a small wedding anyways." I gave her a weak smile. I couldn't quite get over it. I knew I had to. Things couldn't be changed this time.

"You know I still love you though. Besides, you and Edward can come visit whenever. Maybe now that you'll be on your own you could even move to Florida!"

I could see the wheels turning in my mothers head. Her crazy plans were already starting up.

"Don't go to crazy mom. Edward isn't fond of the sun. We'll probably stay near his family. They're extremely close." It wasn't an entire lie. Edward didn't want to be in the sun with other people – he actually loved the sun.

"Alright, but on one of your visits maybe we could go on a cruise or something!"

My heart ached, knowing that I could never see my mom again after tomorrow. I just wanted to sit in her lap like a little girl and cry. I wanted her to say it would be okay and all would work out. It would, but not the way I wanted. I loved my mother, but I knew she had to go on with Phil as I would with Edward.

"Maybe, that would be fun." I couldn't allow myself anymore words, fearing traitor tears would come.

"What's wrong Bella?" Renee could be so perceptive when she tried.

"It's nothing really. I'm – uh – just nervous about the wedding." I was lying through my teeth, I was actually excited for the wedding. "Is it scary?"

"Darlin', it's the scariest thing I've ever done. But it's also the best." She smiled at me and squeezed my shoulders. We were almost back to the house.

"I hope so."

I opened the door and took my shoes off. I was in a hurry to get to Edward now that we were back.

"Love you mom, good night." I pecked her on the cheek as she took off her shoes.

"Night Bella."

I opened the bedroom door and saw the most beautiful site ever. Edward was sitting on the edge of our bed. His golden eyes were on fire. A soft growl escaped his lips. I closed the distance between us as fast as I could go without tripping.

"I missed you." His velvet voice made me smile.

"Not as much as I missed you."

"Really now?" Before I could rebuttal my mouth was pushed into another passion driven kiss.

I couldn't breath. All thought was lost except for my lips connected to Edward. He pulled me tight to his body. It was like our bodies were made to fit each other – a puzzle piece. We belonged together.

We were lying on the bed and I had no idea how I'd gotten there. Edward's hand held my head softly while the other grabbed my back – holding me to him.

"Be still," I heard him whisper.

I tried, but my body wouldn't listen. I kept kissing. I didn't want to stop.

"Please Bella. I promise we can continue."

I tried harder, willing myself to calm down. I pushed against him harder though in return for silencing my lips.

I felt his breath on my mouth, opened slightly. The tip of his tongue traced my bottom lip, causing me to shiver. He pushed my mouth open with little effort and our tongues connected. I lost all control then, letting my body take over. My conscious was just a background noise.

Edward pulled away before anything out of his boundaries could happen. He didn't go far though. His breath was just as hard as mine.

"Wow" I breathed.

"That was," he paused, "something else."

"You promised we weren't done." I fake frowned.

"How inconsiderate of me," with no further conversation he leaned again, this time much more gentle. It was light kisses this time. Leaving me dazzled by how amazing Edward was at everything.

His lips left mine, but went to my neck. He kissed and ran his nose everywhere. He pulled his nose up to mine and stopped. Noses touching he shook his head, "Eskimo kisses. We've got to prepare for Alaska."

Being sufficiently dazzled I couldn't find my voice. That didn't bother him though. His lips continued their journey over my face.

I fell asleep while Edward was humming. He had starting humming when my eyes started drooping. I could still hear him in my sleep though. I wasn't honestly sure if I truly was sleeping. But I couldn't find the energy anyway to open my eyelids.

Edward started talking then. I'd never heard him talk while I was falling asleep before. Usually it was just the lullaby.

"Beautiful," kiss. "Bella," kiss. "I love you," kiss. "Mrs. Cullen," kiss. Each word came out a soft gorgeous whisper.

He pulled me closer, and how we got any closer was beyond me.

As I drifted off even deeper into sleep I heard one last whisper.

"One week, one day."

REVIEW!! Please. Be critical! And I have no idea how long it takes to get to Florida by plane from Forks…so I made it up! Haha.

And I'd like to thank musicallyinclined. She got me writing again with this challenge. THANKS!
