Edward POV
Bella rolled over into my chest as I wrapped my arms around her. Her eyes fluttered open and she turned her head to gaze at me.
"Edward!" She screeched, cracking from lack of using her voice. I smiled and squeezed her tighter.
"Are you excited love?" I chuckled. Bella's eyes sparkled in the rising sun. I couldn't move from her entrancing stare. Those pools of chocolate would soon be gone, but that was just a technicality. I would have the rest of forever with her, my angel.
She snuggled closer to me – turning so we faced each other.
"More than anything," she sighed. It was sweetest sound.
"Would you like to lay here for awhile or shall we get ready? You woke rather early today. It's only six a.m. love." I commented, looking down at her.
My loves face scrunched in thought. I waited patiently, knowing she'd tell me eventually – even if I couldn't hear her thoughts. I wondered if once Bella was a vampire if I could hear her thoughts. Maybe she'd be able to let me hear her thoughts. Just once I'd like to hear her impossible mind.
"Let's get ready." I was taken out of my reverie by an angel's voice. Flashing my crooked smile, I jumped out of the bed, too fast for her to see.
"My lady," I bowed and stuck a hand out for her to take.
Bella's musical laugh filled the room. Her warm hand took mine, making my skin burn. The burning sensation was really quite a lovely thing. I marveled at her hand as it melted my ice.
"Human moment." Bella kept my hand in hers while she collected her things. I walked with her to the bathroom where she turned and pushed up on the tip of her toes and kissed my cheek. The warmth lingered there long after she'd shut the door.
Bella's human moments were numbered. I would miss them. The small touches that sent her heart fluttering. I could look at her and the oh-so-familiar blush would come without question.
I'd miss these trivial things, but it didn't matter. Not at all. I had Bella for eternity. She would still be Bella I loved, and that was what mattered.
I waited outside the door, not moving from where she left me. The only thing on our agenda today was the wedding.
Our wedding.
If it were possible, my heart would have accelerated. Isabella Marie Swan was soon to be Isabella Marie Cullen. The name sent chills down my already icy cold spine. No longer would she be a Miss but a Mrs.
Forever and for always, she would be mine.
And I would be hers.
Making it known to everyone was my biggest dream. I wanted to scream to the world, although, that would be a bit over the edge. Not for Bella though; I'd do anything for her.
The bathroom door swung open and I heard her small intake of breath.
"Edward, you didn't have to stay right there." Despite her dismissive words her heart skipped a beat. I smiled down at her.
"Yes I did." Taking her small fragile hand in mine, I dragged her to the bedroom.
Seven o'clock. Only five more hours to go.
"How are your feet love?"
"Better, much better. Thank you for rubbing them last night." The beautiful smile I'd grown so accustomed flashed momentarily.
A growl sounded from Bella, not from her throat, but from her stomach. I shook my head and laughed quietly.
"Hungry are we?"
Bella's redundant blush followed my question.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'."
I laughed again as we walked down the stairs. Today was going to be euphoric. I laughed harder than usual, causing Bella's eyes to widen, her laughter joining mine shortly.
I got a hold of myself after a moment and started making Bella breakfast.
"What would you like to eat?"
"An omelet!"
"Excited much?"
Bella glared playfully. "Your point? Make me an omelet!"
I smiled and got to work.
"Edward, do you mind going human speed today?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Sure?"
"Well, we've still got five hours and if you go slower, it takes up more time." Bella smiled at me sheepishly.
"Whatever you want darling."
Working as slow as I could stand, I finished the omelet and sat it in front of Bella with milk. I moved to sit on the other side of the table and watched as she ate like a sloth. She took a bite and looked over at me, smiling again.
She picked up her fork at an incredibly slow pace. The movement was almost…what was the word I was looking for? Sexy. Bella's tongue touched the fork as she put the utensil in her mouth. I suddenly became unhealthily jealous of said fork.
I glared at it until Bella laid it down, snapping me out of my thoughts abruptly.
"Edward?" Bella raised an eyebrow at me incredulously. "Were you glaring at my fork?"
I quickly averted my eyes to Bella's. "No. I thought I saw a –" I was cut off by Bella's laugh.
"Why were you glaring at my fork Edward? This has got to be funny if you're going to lie about it." She looked at me expectantly and before I could deny her she jutted her lower lip and said that cursed word, "Please?"
I sighed and quickly, probably too fast for her, relay my previous thoughts to her.
"I was jealous of the fork." It came out in one fast gush of breath.
Bella's forehead wrinkled as she tried to process what I'd just said. Her cheeks puffed up and with a huge gust of air, she burst into hysterics.
Her laughter was continuous and I though she'd never stop.
"You…" she started choking. "Were…" her laugh was ridiculous by now. "Jealous…" the coughs now shook Bella's body. "Of a…" her breathing started to go back to normal. "Fork?" Finally Bella's sighed and her heart was a steady pace again.
My previous glare now settled on Bella as she smirked and picked up the fork again.
"Does this bother you?" Slowly, her delicate pink tongue caressed the fork. I felt my mouth start to slip open and regained composure. I was a gentleman, not some perverted little boy.
"Not in the least." My voice gave me away, going up an octave higher than normal.
She laughed and stopped licking the fork. I looked at the clock. Eight. We'd gotten rid of another hour.
We went up to the bedroom again and she lay on top of on the bed. I had my hand around her back and she had hers around my neck. Her head was tucked under my chin as I held her tight.
I heard Bella's breathing slow down as her chest started moving less and less.
I stroked her hair as she slept and day dreamed of what was soon to be.
I had tried not to see the dress, but Alice couldn't always hide it from me. Bella would be dressed in an old fashioned – yet, beautiful – white gown. I smiled at the thought. It was closer to my time then hers.
I could picture her walking down the aisle, Carlisle escorting her, he would give her away to me and John would step forward.
I would wait, rather impatiently, for the end. For the moment I could kiss my bride.
This would be unlike any normal kiss. I would kiss her sweetly, but with a fierce force, letting her know this was the kiss to beat them all. I would pull away and look at her gorgeous brown orbs. I would get lost in them and her in mine. It would be a moment, which in reality lasted a second, but an eternity for us.
Bella rolled off of me, to my side. Her deep breaths abruptly stopped as her eyes popped open.
"Sleep well?"
"I hadn't realized I'd had actually. How long was I asleep? It seems like only a second."
I looked at the clock.
"It's nine love. You've been asleep for an hour." I smiled at her, tucking a stray hair behind her ear."
"Wow. In half an hour I have to go get ready." Bella's eyes widened and I wished, for the billionth time, that I could read her mind.
Immediately I asked, "What are you thinking?"
She shook her head slowly and finally gazed up at me. "I'm getting married." The concern once on her face was now replaced with open joy.
I stroked her face softly, leaving my fingers to linger on her chin. With them I pulled her face to mine and kissed her.
Her sweet smell caressed my nose, I heard Bella inhale when our lips met. I knew she was as intoxicated by me as I was by her.
I grasped her head with my hands, gently, yet letting her know that I controlled this. She reacted well to this, pulling closer and pressing her body to mine. Her lips parted under mine.
I swallowed and with a nervous twinge, let my tongue go into her mouth, meeting her tongue.
It was the first time I'd done this, always we'd just tasted lips, never tongue. I was afraid the venom would harm her. Bella gasped and it was like our mouths had minds of their own.
This feeling that I'd never had before, soon became my favorite. Did Bella have any faults?
I pulled away and sat up.
"It's time for you to go get ready."
11:59
one minute before wedding
"Edward, get up there!" Alice shoved me out of my room.
One minute to the wedding and I was nervous. Nervous.
What kind of vampire gets nervous?!
I'm supposed to be fierce, able to scare the life out of people. But as I walked to the backyard, to the front of our ceremony, I was ranting in my head.
This weird feeling, I'd read of it. As if I had just eaten pizza, this sick feeling came up in my stomach. Not a bad sick feeling, though. I had read, heard, and even seen this, but I never thought I would feel it.
Butterflies.
The back porch door opened and Bella stepped out. I felt my jaw drop as all butterflies left, replaced by an overwhelming confidence. I knew this was perfect, this was right.
She was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen. I couldn't describe the way she looked. Words wouldn't justify my angel. My love. My existence.
Bella POV
When I stepped out into the yard, the first thing I saw was Edward's jaw drop.
Self-conscious would be an understatement at the moment.
With each step I took, I had to concentrate on not falling. I couldn't look at Edward for too long for fear of tripping on my wedding day.
But every time I looked at him, I felt my heart skip a beat. My stomach dropped to my hips. I could feel my lungs aching with every breath I took.
I looked up at Carlisle who had my arm draped over his. He was sturdy, but I still felt the need to concentrate.
I was only four steps down the yard and it felt like four long hours had passed. I was never going to get to Edward at this rate.
I was going to be Mrs. Isabella Marie Cullen for all eternity.
Breathe. Walk. Breathe. Walk.
I was three steps from Edward when Carlisle let me go. His kind smile let me know that asking him to walk me had been the right decision. I think I accidentally sped up because when Edward smiled, he shook his head slightly, closing his eyes for a moment.
When they opened again, our eyes locked. His golden eyes were the lightest shade they'd ever been. I couldn't look away.
Edward took my hand in his and squeezed it once, letting go afterwards.
I looked forward and John and realized I hadn't been listening. He was getting closer to my part of plan. The 'I do'.
I could see Alice, Rosalie, Esme, Tanya, and Irina in my peripheral vision. Alice was practically jumping out of her seat in joyful hysterics. Rose was smiling and actually looked completely joyful for me. Esme looked like if she could, she would have tears streaming down her face. Tanya and Irina, despite the pervious situations, weren't angry. They weren't happy, but I couldn't ask for more from them.
When I turned my head slightly more towards Edward I could see Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle, who had sat down after escorting me.
Jasper looked the happiest of all of us, I supposed it was just because he had everyone's happiness shot at him.
Emmett, smiling and snickering slightly, watched me carefully. He was like an older brother protecting me.
Carlisle's facial expression, if you didn't know him, wouldn't have given him away. In his eyes though, you could see the joy he felt, knowing his son finally would be eternally happy, like him.
I saved Edward for last, glancing at him, only to find he was glancing at me. I didn't want to lose track with John so I kept my head toward him. I knew if I stared at Edward too long, I'd forget the wedding, possibly my own name even.
"…as long as you both shall live?"
My eyes widened, surprised at how fast it had gone. The walk up here had taken hours it'd seemed. Yet the ceremony was almost done.
"I do." I blushed, embarrassed by how long it took me to answer.
John went into Edward's 'I do' but I didn't notice. I saw Alice's body practically shut down as she had a vision. The too familiar face replaced the once happy pixie.
I looked at Edward to see if it was okay. His face was horrorstricken, seeing me, he quickly regained composer.
What in the world was going on?
When I looked back at Alice her face was completely, endlessly, elated. I shook off the vision, waiting impatiently for the final, best moment of my human life.
"…as long as you both shall live?"
I needed to pay more attention.
"I do." Edward's velvet voice was quick to reply. I felt my knees go weak as I waited for John to say the famous line.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Edward leaned down. This moment taking longer than any moment I'd had in my short life. His eyes closed along with mine, when he was an inch away.
This was it. This made it true.
His stone lips touched mine, soft, gentle, yet fierce. It seemed endless.
"Bella!"
Suddenly, in a movement quicker than anything, Edward's lips were on my neck.
"I'm sorry Bella."
My eyes flew open as Edward's teeth punctured my skin. The fire came as I screeched, "Edward!"
Falling limp in Edward's arms the last thing I saw was Aro standing in the backyard, surrounded by my new, growling, family.
The End
Review. Pretty please.
I wrote this before I read the book. Please don't judge it because it isn't Stephenie's.
