Author's Note
Another chapter tonight cause someone didn't like how I ended on a cliff hanger and how I didn't upload for a long time even though I explained why in my AN.

Today was it. Today was my wedding. I was actually getting married today. Holy crap I couldn't believe it. It was also the day I would find out the sex of my baby. I was anxious to know whether I was having a boy or a girl. I had a feeling that it was a boy though but that the same time I had a feeling it would be a girl. I sighed once more before looking in the mirror.
Rosalie and Alice were doing my hair while my mom and Esme talked in the background. I had a feeling like my mom would ask me if I was sure about this marriage at any moment. I was 100% sure about this marriage anyway.
"Close your eyes. I need to put some eye shadow on the," Alice said as she placed the kabuki brush back on the counter and grabbed an eye brush with some neutral powder. Alice knew I didn't like bold colors. I liked simple shades. I closed my eyes and felt the brush on my lid as Rosalie continued on my hair. I felt her take the curlers out and my hair fell down to one side of my head. I had no clue what my hair would look like though. Rose and Alice told me that they had planned ahead on my makeup and hair. The other day they even brought me to a spa to get my eyebrows and legs waxed. The lady offered to wax my 'unmentionable' area but I was quick to say no to that. There is no way a lady I had just met was going anywhere near my 'unmentionable' area.
"Oh my God, Bella you look so beautiful. Edward is going to be speechless when he sees you," I heard my mom cry. "I can't believe my little girl is getting married and having a baby."
"Bella you look ravishing. Edward is very lucky to have you," Esme said as I heard her walk over to me. She put an arm around my shoulder and hugged me. "I know that today it's legal but I felt as if you were part of the Cullen family for a very long time."
"Ok. Open your eyes," Alice said with her usually over-anxious voice. I opened my brown eyes to see a beautiful young woman with long brown hair that had large waves that cascaded down the left side of her head. Her makeup was simple, elegant. She looked like old Hollywood glam.
"Oh my God," I gasped as I covered my mouth in awe.
"Alice, Rosalie, thank you so much," I thanked them with hugs. "Thank you so much for everything." I felt myself about to cry.
"Isabella Marie, if you cry and ruin my masterpiece I will kill you," Alice said. We all laughed and continued to get ready. They all helped me into my dress. You couldn't really see that I was pregnant in it. It didn't matter anyway. Everyone already knew I was pregnant.
Once I was completely dressed I looked at myself in the mirror. Today would be my last day as Bella Swan and the first day I would be Bella Cullen. We all heard a knock on the door and Esme walked over to open the door. It was Carlisle.
"Oh my goodness, Bella you look beautiful, "he said with a smile as he hugged me. Edward is going to drop his jaw when he sees you."
"How are the boys?" Esme asked.
"They're ready. They're ready to start when you are. Ready Bella?" Carlisle asked. Carlisle agreed to walk me down the aisle since my own father, well you know. Carlisle was like a second father to me anyway.
"I'm ready."
The wedding march began and everyone in the venue stood up. I walked with Carlisle as he guided me down the aisle. I felt my breathing speed up and Carlisle gently nudged me letting me know that everything would be ok.
I glanced at everyone who was there. My mother was crying and Phil had his arm around her. Angela and Jessica were smiling like fools while their dates, Eric and Mike were just staring at me.
I looked at the front of the aisle and saw Edward standing there. He looked at me like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time. I smiled at him and he flashed that crooked smile that made me melt like an ice cream on a hot summer day.
As Carlisle approached the front of the aisle Edward walked forward and smiled at us and took my hand and nodded at his father. Edward walked us up to the minister and everyone sat down. I handed my bouquet to Alice and then took Edward's hands in mine. We looked lovingly into each other's eyes as the minister began to speak.
"We are gathered here today to join in the union of Edward and Isabella. The two of them have taken the initiative to write their own vows. Edward, please start," he announced.
"My beautiful Isabella," I wasn't the fondest of the name Isabella but I loved when Edward called me that, "I am so honored that you have decided to pleasure me with the honor of marrying me. It's an incredible feeling to have someone that you can bear your soul to and have them accept you for who you are. I'm glad that you are that person. No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let's start with forever."
I was in tears. That was beautiful. I hope that he would think mine was beautiful as well.
"My dearest Edward, ever since we met I knew we would be great friends. Even if the first thing you said to me was about how you could swing higher on the swing set than I could in Ms. Faye's kindergarten class. Which I swung higher by the way," I paused and let everyone chuckle for a second, "You have there for me during the good times and hard times in my life. I'm looking forward to all these wonderful years together with you and our family," my eyes watered as I touched my stomach.
Everyone clapped at our vows to each other. We looked out into the small crowd and then back to the minister.
"Do you Edward take Isabella to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, through sickness and through health as long as you both shall live?" The minister asked.
"I do."
"And do you Isabella, take Edward to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to honor and to cherish, through sickness and through health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," I said with a smile.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
Edward took my face between his hands and then kissed me. My hands grabbed the color of his tuxedo and I pulled us closer to each other. At this moment it felt like we were the only two people on the face of the earth. Our lips molding together perfectly as if made for each other, it was magical.
When we broke apart everyone was standing and clapping for us. We wrapped our arms around each other and held close to one another.
"I present you Mister and Misses Cullen."
Our wedding reception was soon to follow. We agreed to cut the cake after mine and Edward's first dance as husband and wife.
As soon as Claire de Lune began to play, curtsey of Esme, we walked out onto the dance floor and held each other close as we danced together. It felt like a fairytale. Like how in Cinderella when she and her prince are at the ball dancing, or in Beauty and the Beast when Belle and the Beast are dancing the ballroom. When the song ended we kissed once more before some more modern music began to play over the speakers and more people came to dance.
We all danced for about two hours, well not me; even though I was wearing flats my feet were swollen. Edward sat next to me at our head table and held my hand. We didn't talk we must cherished this moment together as husband and wife.
"Ok, attention everybody it I now time to cut the cake. As you all know my beautiful wife and I are expecting a baby in February and as a fun way to tell you all the sex we have decided to have the wedding cake reveal the sex. It was all Alice's idea," Edward said as we stood in front of the cake while everyone was standing in front of the table.
"Last week we went for a checkup and the doctor told us the she could tell us the gender which she had an 85% guess which she called us the other day which was now a 95% guess on the baby's gender. She then wrote down the gender on a piece of paper and placed it in an envelope which we gave to the baker who made the cake pink for a girl or blue for a boy. And without further ado, let's find out the sex," I announced.
Edward and I gently took the knife in our hands and carefully sliced the cake so that no crumbs or icing would be on it to spoil it for us. Once the cake was cut we slid the knife under the piece and carefully picked it up.
"Everybody ready?" Edward asked. People took pictures and we heard shouts of "it's a boy" and "it's a girl" as they waited in anticipation.
Edward and I lifted the pink piece of cake and lifted it high for all to see.
"IT'S A GIRL!" everyone shouted and flashed went off. I smiled and chuckled to myself. I quickly looked at Edward who smiled at me before we shared a kiss. We were having a girl. I'm having a daughter. I couldn't keep myself from all the smiles and chuckles I had.
"I love you so much Bella," Edward said as he kissed the side of my head. Esme and Renee soon came up and hugged us and took a picture of us with the pink cake. Once everyone was done taking pictures Edward and I then cut the piece of cake in half and fed it to each other. We smiled at each other once we swallowed the cake that told us we were having a beautiful little girl.
