Hey y'all, sorry for the delay, yes I was on holidays but I had RL stuff getting in the way. Anyways I'm back with another chapter and I'm sad to say that this story is winding down but it was a hell of ride!

Alright won't keep ya long but I do wanna say thanks again to all of you who have added this to their favs and are following, you reviewers rock hard as the blarney stone! LOL!

Okay enough out of me, see ya at the bottom, remember I don't own it, SM does, I'm playing with em, except for the O'Quinns, they're mine.

Chapter 16

I checked the mirror for about the tenth time and let out a long deep breath. I was not looking forward to this at all.

"Come on Bella, you can do this, you've done it a thousand times" I thought as I desperately tried to calm my racing heart. I huffed and shook my head as I climbed out of my truck and looked at the building looming ahead.

Was it too much to ask to not have to come back here? I hate high school! Oh how I wished Edward and Alice were here, but he couldn't since they had to talk to the school and Esme was contacting the board to make sure they could still attend and graduate with me. I could do this, I'd only been gone a couple of weeks.

"Yo Bella" "Maybe not", I thought as I heard Mike shout from across the quad. I had a feeling of deja vu as I remembered the last time he shouted to me and the events that followed. I couldn't help but smile as I realized the events that followed are what made me happy.

I must have been still smiling as Mike made his way over and then he started to strut as he threw an arm around me. I shrugged it off and hauled my backpack out of the truck.

"Hey Bella, how's it going?" Newton asked

"Not bad" I shrugged as I tried to ignore him and hoped that he took the hint and went away.

"So, haven't seen ya in a while. How was your break?" he asked and I could see the curiosity in his eyes. I hadn't really been back to school much. I would get to class as soon as the bell rang and most times I skipped the afternoon to help the pack or I would take lunch and breaks in my truck. I had no desire to be around all these people when there was danger out there, but now the danger was gone and I had to endure the hell which is high school.

"So what did you do?" he asked

"I visited some family in Ireland, saw my mom and stuff" I said

"That's cool" he shrugged and I nodded my head and walked towards the school but not before I heard the distinct patter of his feet as he shouted my name. I thought Jake and the pack were the dogs; this guy was like a frigging poodle. Couldn't he take the hint?

He slung his arm around my shoulders again and again I shrugged it off and walked back towards the school again with Mike right beside me trying unsuccessfully to engage me in conversation but I tuned him out.

"So Bella, I was wondering if maybe, you know" oh no, not again.

"Oh look there's Angela, gotta go bye" I shouted and bolted towards Angela before Mike could, what I'm sure was another attempt and getting me to go out with him.

I skidded to a stop in front of Angela and mentally patted myself on the back for not tripping up and I blew the hair out of my face as Angela tried very hard to keep her face straight.

"Hey Ange, how are you?" I panted

"Great, I see Mike still hasn't given up yet" she chuckled as she jerked her head towards Mike who was now leaning against Tyler's new car and the two of them were chatting. I sighed as both of them looked my way and winked and then proceeded to wrestle with each other. Boys!

"So how was your break?" Angela asked and I wanted to kiss her for the change in subject.

"Awesome" came my excited reply, I had to remember to tone it down a bit.

"I heard you visited some family" she mentioned, how the heck did she hear me say that to Mike from all the way over here?

I looked at in her in confusion and she shrugged and mentioned that she had seen Charlie and he told her that I was away visiting family. I nodded and told her all about Ireland, well what I could. She was shocked; she figured I was visiting my mom. I saw her but I wasn't about to explain that to her.

The bell rang and Angela and I walked inside towards our first class, her class being English and mine history. I hated history and when the professor announced that we were going to be studying the Salem witch trials I just about lost all composure. I had to cover my laugh with a cough and then asked to be excused so I could laugh my ass off in the bath room. I would have to remember to ask my aunt how that all went down, for sure she and my mom were involved somehow; my aunt to save witches and my mom most likely to get into a fight. I learned that my mom was one hell of a firecracker back in the day and to piss her off was not a good idea.

English class was next and I took a deep breath as the hole in my chest stung a little. It was mended but this class and biology just reminded me what things has been like, it was a reminder of his leaving and even though I had forgiven him, I still couldn't help but feel the empty feeling I had sitting in this class and I knew Biology was going to be worse.

The morning seemed to drag and I grew more frustrated as it went on, even the teachers picked up on it since they didn't bother calling on me and I debated on skipping but I knew I missed more school than I should have and I needed to attend so many days to graduate. Summer school was not an option.

It certainly didn't help that I heard the sly and sarcastic remarks of Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. They were terrible while I was in my zombie state, always bringing up Edward's name, speculating on why he left, why I was so skinny. Apparently I became bulimic or some nonsense. They talked around me like I wasn't sitting right there.

"She looks different" Jessica said just low enough thinking I wouldn't hear her as I stood in line for lunch.

"No she doesn't, she's still a freak. God do you remember when Cullen broke up with her?" Lauren sneered and I sighed. Like I needed that reminder.

"Lauren" Jessica gasped but giggled and I turned and glared at them.

"Think she heard us?" Jessica asked

"Who cares, not like it matters" Lauren spat and walked away making sure to toss her fake blonde hair over her shoulder and I wondered if anyone would see it if I made a banana peel appear on the floor so she would trip on it. I decided against it thinking it would be too risky and I would have felt bad if she had hurt herself. For like a second.

I signed heavily; this was going to be a long day. I grabbed an apple and a juice and made my way towards the table where Angela, Mike, Tyler and unfortunately Jessica and Lauren sat.

I dropped my book, sighed and bent over to pick it up when I heard the cafeteria doors open with a bang and there was a collective gasp. I looked up and saw the most beautiful sight, my Edward standing right there. Alice was there too but I only had eyes for Edward.

"Holy shit it's Cullen" I heard someone say

"What the hell" someone else shouted

"Just fucking great" I heard someone mutter

"Oh my god, he's as hot as ever" I wanted to smack whoever that was but as I looked at him, I realized that they were right. He was incredibly hot, and mine.

He winked at me as he crossed the room and then his fingers grasped my chin as he slowly helped me right myself and then he wrapped his arms around me, planting his hands firmly on my ass as he lifted me up so my legs were wrapped around his waist and then his lips were on mine. It was hot and oh so public but I didn't care.

"You've got to be kidding me" I heard someone yell and then a throat cleared and I blushed as Edward growled and we both broke apart to see Mr. Banner standing there looking very uncomfortable.

"Kids, now is not the time or the place, how about you cool it huh?" He said and Edward set me down but kept his hand in mine while he pulled me towards the table we sat at before.

"That was hot" Alice whispered with a giggle in my ear and I blushed even harder.

"Shut up Alice" I hissed "It was all kinds of wrong to act like that in school" I said, only half serious.

"Oh don't pretend you didn't like it" she said gleefully and I didn't deny it. She threw her head back and laughed as she pranced ahead of us.

"Hi guys, mind if we join you?" she asked a table of shocked students

"Oh god, yes of course you can sit here, welcome back by the way" Angela said as she moved over to allow room and I heard grumbles of the same greeting.

"Thanks, it's good to be back" Alice smiled but I saw an evil glint in her eye that was only mirrored by my fiancé's smirk. I gave him a questioning look but he just winked at me. He was gonna kill me with that wink; it was just as deadly as his half smile.

"So umm what brought you guys back, last we heard you were all living in LA?" Mike asked crossing his arms and I wanted to backhand him for the attitude.

"Oh well, I loved LA, the shopping was incredible but it was way too fast, the students were vapid, shallow creatures. Our Mom hated the fast pace life and well Eddie boy here was so miserable without Bella that we decided to come back" Alice waved her hands and Edward rolled his eyes.

"Oh come on, you couldn't have been that miserable. I mean a good looking guy like you had to have had at least moved on or met someone" Jessica hinted. Bitch, screw the banana, would anyone notice if I turned her into a toad?

"Are you kidding me, I dropped out of school, I just couldn't stand to be there without Bella. I was barely existing without her" he said as he looked deep into my eyes and I melted.

"Gag me" I heard Lauren say.

"Oh bless ya dear, you know they say mint is really good for an upset stomach" Alice said as she hauled out a mint out of her purse. "Oh and umm it's good for bad breath too, I hear Halitosis is real problem for some people" Alice whispered just loud enough for all of us to hear and I had to bury my face in Edward's chest to keep from laughing out loud.

Lauren sneered and turned her head with a huff but I saw her subtly try to smell her own breath.

"So, are you seeing anyone?" Jessica asked

"Really! Did she not just see what happened like ten minutes ago? Was she blind as well as dumb?" I screamed in my head

"Of course, why do you think I came back? I wanted to be with Bella, in fact we'll be getting married this summer" he stated proudly and I couldn't help but smile as Angela shouted "Shut up" and grabbed my hand.

"Oh Bella, it's beautiful" she sniffled and I saw as Lauren and Jessica tried to sneak a glance.

"Oh yes, very nice, umm a little garish in my opinion but not everyone can pull off gold" Lauren sniffed

"Actually it's platinum and diamonds, it's been in my family for generations. In fact, some say that my great grandmother got it from her mother who got it from the royal family. Most likely rubbish but I do know that it was brought over from Europe" Edward stated and I looked at him in shock. He never told me that before. He just winked at me and I saw the whole table with their jaws on the floor.

Before any more questions could be asked, the bell rang and Edward took my hand and we went towards my next class. I wanted to stop time just so we could spend a few more minutes together but one thing my aunt taught me is never to mess with time, you can stop enemies but never time.

"So what class do you have or are you just here to save me?" I asked as I snuggled against his chest, not wanting to let him go just yet.

"Well I do believe that we have Biology" he said with a smirk and my jaw dropped.

"You're kidding me, they let you back in and with the same schedule?" before he left we were pretty much in the same classes.

"Mmmm, yup. Well after a bit of convincing from Esme. She read the school board the riot act when they said that due to the length of our absence it wouldn't be right to have us graduate while the rest of the class had worked hard all year. Of course Esme brought up our marks and said that the real tragedy would be to let two A+ students not graduate and if she had to take this up with the state of Washington then they wouldn't be happy" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"They agreed after Esme threaten them with going to someone even higher than state and that as the biggest sponsor the school had, that it would be a shame if we went to a private school and they got the funding" he added and I just stood there. Wow, Esme had some balls.

He started laughing and I stopped and said "What?" "Yes she does" he said and I blushed as I realised I said that aloud.

"Ms. Swan. Mr. Cullen, welcome back. You can have your regular seat but do me a favor and keep the PDA out of my classroom" Mr. Banner said and we both nodded as we took our seats.

As soon as we were seated Edward pulled my chair closer to him and placed his arm around the back of mine and I resisted the urge to lean against him but inhaled deeply as his intoxicating scent filled the air.

Class was boring to say the least, most of it now was in preparation for the public exam coming up in a few weeks and during my zombie state all I did was home work and read so I knew all the material and I could see Edward was bored as well since he most likely had heard all the same information a thousand times already.

Banner was talking about some of the equipment we would be using next week and pulled a old box of a shelf only to knock a whole pile of dust off the cabinet filling the room with a cloud of the stuff and the whole class starting coughing and sneezing while Banner fanned the air with his coat and grumbled about the janitorial staff. Edward shook his head and told someone to open the windows to let the dust out.

The haze of dust finally cleared and I was ever so thankful to be able to breathe again but I could see Edward was agitated about something but when I asked him he just shook his head and mouthed later.

The rest of the class went by in a daze while I worried about what was upsetting him and he was way too quiet as we left class and then stopped to my locker to change out the books I needed for home, but as soon as we left the building and were by his car, he pushed me up against it and kissed me senseless.

It was rougher than usual but I was so not complaining and I couldn't help but moan as his tongue invaded my mouth and I gladly gave in and tugged on his messy bronze locks.

"Not that I'm complaining" I giggled after I finally broke for air "but what was that for?"

"Just...I'm sorry sweetheart, it's just that the boys in this school especially our class, well their thoughts on you are wrong. It makes me jealous when some boy who wouldn't know how to please a woman if it bit him on the ass, thinks that way about you. Only I know what your body feels like, what you sound like and I want to be the only man to ever know" he said gruffly and I kissed him again making sure to calm him down.

"You are love, and always will be. How about we get outta here?" I smiled and he nodded and then helped me into my truck. He smiled and held out his hand and I laughed as Alice pranced over and grabbed his keys saying "Thank you" in a sing song voice, she then blew a raspberry on his cheek and left. Poor Edward stood there for like a second and then wiped her venom off his cheek and walked around to the other side of the car where I was laughing my ass off.

"Not one word" he said and I just blew a raspberry at him.

"You're going the right way for a smack bottom" he warned and I said "Promise"

"Bella" he gasped and I just shrugged. I wasn't into that at all but I was just enjoying teasing him and I laughed out loud as he just sat there in the parking lot with a look of pure shock on his face.

"I was kidding, can we please get out of here? Drive Edward" I laughed and sent a shock of electricity at him. He jumped, blew a raspberry back at me and then drove off.

The next few weeks flew by in a blur and before I knew it, I was studying for finals and preparing for the wedding. Alice insisted on a huge big to do celebration but I threatened her with Vegas if she went overboard. She wasn't too happy but I told her she could take me to Seattle to pick out my wedding dress. It was a total bust, there was nothing there that I even remotely liked but I did find a gorgeous gown online, sadly it was in Alaska. Of all the freaking places and I cursed at the computer and was ready to just morph over there but Alice stopped me. She was way too giddy and said that she would get it picked up and that she could make any alterations.

"It's the perfect opportunity for you to meet our cousins" she squealed and I looked at her confused, but then remembered Edward mentioning that there was another family like them. Suddenly I felt sick and thought maybe that now would be a good time to go see my aunt.

"BELLA" Alice yelled and I cringed

"I was only kidding Alice" I chuckled nervously, not really meaning it.

"You'll be fine love" Edward said as he wrapped her arms around me from behind and placed a gentle kiss on my neck. I loved that he was more relaxed now, those first few weeks he was back in school were a little tense, we spent more than one lunch hour in his car trying to work out his frustrations and Alice had more than once stopped him from killing Mike. Apparently his thoughts were more vivid than my dear sweet man could handle. I won't lie and say that the jealous side of him was extremely sexy because it damn well was and the whole notion of PDA was thrown completely out the window.

"Oh yeah, I'll be just meeting the other part of your family, they...what if they don't like me?" I asked while I bit on my bottom lip, damn nervous habit.

"It'll be fine love" he said as he used his finger to release my lips and then kissed them sweetly and I huffed as I nodded.

"Bella, these people are our family, we have been there for each other for decades, they already know about you, so you have nothing to worry about" Edward cooed and I nodded.

"Yeah Bells, the Denalis are awesome and maybe now T will finally get in her head that old Eddie boy here ain't available anymore" Emmett boomed as he and Rose walked into the living room.

I whirled around and started stalking my soon to be crispy fiancé. "Edward, what's Emmett talking about?" I asked lowly and he at least had the decency to look scared.

"Nothing Bella" he stammered with his hands in the air

"Edward" I warned as I shot a bolt of electricity to the floor, nothing big but enough to make him jump.

"Oooo Eddie, you're gonna get it now" Emmett hollered and clapped and I cast a spell to keep his mouth shut and then made him sit on the floor.

"Oh Bella, that was awesome" Jasper cracked up and I shot him a glare "Shutting up" he said and took a seat next to Alice while they all watched in amusement as I stalked Edward around the living room.

"Okay, okay. Look, the leader of Denali Coven, Tanya, had expressed an interest in me some years ago. I made it abundantly clear that I wasn't interested in anything more than friendship. Come on Bella, you know you're the only one for me" he pleaded and I took pity on him and stopped stalking.

"Fine, but if she does anything that even hints as coming on to ya, then I reserve the right to tan the lassie's hide. Got me boyo?" I said sternly while pointing my finger at him as sparks still continued to fly from my fingers. He nodded and I finally took a seat as Alice hauled out her phone to call the bridal salon and the Denali's.

"You know you're sexy when you're jealous" Edward whispered in my ear and I shook in delight as his lips caressed my earlobe. "Sure, whatever you say there laddie" I stammered slightly as he continued to do illegal things to my ear.

"Mmmm, and that accent" he moaned and this time I just turned around and attached my lips to his and I smiled as he groaned when our lips met. It was like two magnets smashing together and I couldn't help but plunge my hands into his hair and tug on his wonderfully thick locks.

"Oh God Gross, if you two are gonna continue that shit, then get a damn room" Rose yelled, effectively breaking us apart and causing me to blush like a damn tomato.

"Wonderful idea Rose" Edward exclaimed and then threw me over his shoulder and ran to his room.

As soon as the door was shut he led me to the foot of his bed and I moaned as his mouth sucked and licked at my neck and I nearly came undone when his mouth found that spot behind my ear. I was tingly all over and my knees gave out when his hands pushed my top up and landed on my breasts. In one swift moment he turned me around and sat on the bed so I could straddle his waist, his lips never leaving mine.

He drew back long enough to lift my top off and tear his own shirt off and I couldn't help but moan again when our bare skin finally touched. The sense of cold meeting hot was unreal and I felt myself grind down on him as he thrusted up to meet my core.

"My queen" he moaned and I lost it loudly as my orgasm crashed over me and we hadn't even had sex. I felt like my nerves were connected to a live wire, I wasn't in control.

"Bella" he asked with a gasp

"Don't ask and don't stop" I panted and he just nodded, shredding my underwear and his and then with a quickness I had never seen, he flipped us so I was lying under him and in one swift movement he was sheathed within me and I couldn't help but scream his name.

He thrusted in and out slowly and then harder, then faster, then slower. I wanted to scream, the coil in my stomach was past the point of tight and then finally with one final thrust I shouted his name as he collapsed on top of me.

I panted heavily as I he caressed my back but then stopped and I heard him gasp.

"Edward, what is it?" I asked

"B..Bella...umm, you notice anything different?" he asked and I looked around but didn't notice anything, but as I felt along the sheets, it hit me, there were no sheets. My back should have been on the mattress but all I felt was Edwards's hands and cold air. What the hell?

I looked down and I gasped myself as I saw that we were floating in mid air about three feet off the bed. "Whoa" I shouted and just like that the two of us fell back to the bed and I bounced only to land on Edward's chest with a oomph!

"Are you okay love?" Edward asked in fright and I laughed and groaned at the same time, nodding that I was fine.

"You sure?" he asked

"Yeah, that was interesting to say the least. Didn't know I could do that" I chuckled

"I always imagined that sex with you would be a magical experience" he said and I snorted, saying "You're way too cheesy Mr" He just chuckled and pulled me so I could rest of his chest.

"So when should we get married?" he asked and I shrugged my shoulders. I hadn't given it much thought. Part of me still felt like it wasn't real and the other small part of me just felt like it was too soon but I smothered that part with a pillow. It was the part of me that seemed to disappear when I found magic but every now and then, that part of me would pipe up. I knew that Edward would want to do it soon, did he really want it to be this summer like he said at school. Yes I was getting the gown but that didn't mean that it had to be in like four months. Plenty of people get it all like a year or more in advanced.

"Were you serious?" I asked as I sat up and pulled the sheets around my chest to cover my nakedness.

"About what?" he asked with a quizzical look. He was so cute when he looked like that. It made him look like he was truly seventeen and I couldn't help but kiss him sweetly.

"You know, about the wedding. What you said at school, about getting married this summer" I said.

"Well I was hoping, I know Alice is planning it but Bella if you want to wait we can" he said as he kissed my hands and I climbed into his lap and roughly kissed him and said "I want to get married sooner than later. Like this summer, I was thinking August, maybe a month before I turn nineteen" I suggested.

"Bella are you sure?" he asked and I nodded and squealed as he tackled me to the bed again replacing my squeals with moans.

So they're back to school, what did you think of his re-appearance? I couldn't resist the lemon and the talk of the wedding. The Denalis are next, what do you think is gonna happen? Stayed tuned!

I'm out, the next chapter is half done, hopefully I'll have it done soon. I just wanted to thank you to all those that are reading this, means a lot.

Until next time lassies!
