I waited anxiously at the airport. I found that I couldn't sit still and I was annoying Alice who was perched on the seat next to me. The sounds of planes landing and taking off were bothering my sensitive ears.

Bella had flown down to Florida for five days to break the news to Renee. I had insisted to go with her, but she felt it was a better idea if she did it alone. After Charlie's reaction (I cringed), she felt it best if she do this one her own. Let's just say Charlie did not respond to his eighteen year old getting married fresh out of high school positively. What made is worse was the fact that she was marrying me.

Charlie still hadn't forgotten the state I left Bella in. Of course, I would never forget, I would live with the painful memory long after he was gone. I knew I was slowly making progress though; even Charlie was starting to sense how much I loved Bella.

Bella.

I dropped my head in my hands nervously. It was absolute torture to be away from her this long. It unearthed painful memories deep down in the pit of my stomach and made my whole body sting. Each minute that passed was a struggle. Every agonizing tick of the clock echoed in my brain. I went to stand next to the large glass window and glanced at the dark night sky in search of her plane.

"Edward relax, I see Bella landing safely." She squinted for a second then rolled her eyes. "It will be quite the reunion." Alice leaned over a stack of papers and kept writing furiously.

Her reassuring words just made my heart pound faster. I could feel my body trembling with nerves. It was only 3 days until the wedding and I hardly had anytime with my fiancé. After we sent out the invitations, Bella spent a lot of time with Charlie, wanting to get some quality time in, knowing that after she turned into a vampire, she wouldn't see him for a while. Then before I knew it, she was off to see her mother, and it was becoming unbearable. At home, the house was bustling with activity before the wedding, decisions about this and that. Only one good thing came out of Bella's absence. It gave me the time to plan out the honeymoon.

Suddenly Alice looked up grinning and glanced across the terminal. I snapped my head in that direction and ran a little too quickly up to the glass. Steady streams of people were trickling out, but not my Bella.

There was a large glass wall separating the entrance from everyone else. It was thick, but the way I was feeling right now, I had to resist the urge to crack it and run onto the plane to carry her out.

Then there she was.

She walked out of the gate, backpack on her back. Her eyes held the same expression that I knew my own did; desperation. She stood on her tiptoes and glanced along the glass to find me. Once her gaze caught mine, I stood stock still, afraid that she would vanish if I moved. I placed two hands on the glass and watched as she did the same. I pressed my forehead against it, cursing the two inch glass that separated us. She kept her hand on the glass, and began to slowly walk, following the crowd. I followed her hand with mine, until she disappeared out of sight.

Already feeling the loss, I quickly looked around to see which escalator she would come down from. There were so many, some going up, some down, so many people coming and going. Lucky I had superhuman senses.

Alice went speeding passed me and scooped up Bella in a hug right when she stepped off the escalator closest to me. Bella almost fell backwards, but I couldn't help but notice how happy she looked.

"Bella! OMG look at you, you're so tan!" Alice gawked at Bella's legs and face. "But you're wearing shorts you're gonna be so cold! You are in Forks now remember!"

Bella went to respond but I interrupted by gathering her tightly in my arms. I felt her heartbeat increase, flush against my chest. Her hot blood, hotter than usual sent waves of pleasure rippling through my senses.

She pulled back and kissed my nose which made me laugh. I stared into her eyes.

"Bella."

"Hi." She responded. "I missed you."

"Oh Bella, I know. I also know that it couldn't have possibly been as much as I've missed you."

Alice snorted. "Now that, I believe."

We all laughed and I reluctantly put Bella down, finally taking in what she was wearing. My eyes hadn't left her face since she got off the plane, but I ran my eyes quickly down her form and noted the change in skin color. Her skin was golden brown, and the sun had brought out a slight blond in her hair. She was wearing jean shorts, sandals, and a white tank top.

Damn, look at those legs.

I swung my head around to see where the thought had come from. I saw a middle aged man walking away, peeking over his shoulder. I immediately bared my teeth and let a low growl escape from my chest. How dare he talk about Bella, especially since he is Charlie's age. I felt a small warm hand grab mine.

"Edward? What's wrong?" Her eyes looked worried.

"Nothing my Bella, I'm just so glad you're here," I replied quelling my anger. "And you look simply radiant."

She beamed at wrapped herself tightly around me.

"I can't believe the wedding is in three days." She said as we started walking toward the exit.

Alice squealed and grabbed Bella's other hand. "I know! And wait until you see what I've got planned for tonight."

This took my by surprise. I wasn't aware Alice had been planning anything at all. I must have been so distracted this past week with Bella gone that I wasn't concentrating on anything else.

Bella and I both looked at Alice with a wary expression.

She returned the look as if we were missing the most important part.

"Well," she paused. "Bella has to have a bachlorette party!"
