I dont own anything.

Chapter 16

EPOV

The evening was wonderful, my Bella looked breath taking much like she had the first day I saw her, but today I could not help but notice the slight look of pain that every now and then would spread across her face. I knew that her legs must have been killing her no puns intend there. It was getting late as I saw Bella duck into the house carrying Luna, who was fast asleep, against her shoulder. I listened as she put Luna down in her crib. "Know my little angel I need you to be good for nana and pops while mama and daddy Edward are away for a little while. I love you little Luna."

I excused myself from talking to a couple of the kids from school to go and get Bella, before Alice notices that she had gone missing in the first place. I entered the house and could hear Bella humming away to herself in our bedroom; I made my way up to the third floor of the house, I saw that the door was slightly ajar. I pushed the door open then lead against the door frame watching her as she leant over Luna's crib stroking her hair.

"You look so beautiful." I said from where I stood by the door. Bella jumped slightly at the sound of my voice.

"You could warn a girl next time you want to sneak up on her." She said walking towards me. I took hold of her hand and lead her towards the stairs. What I had noticed till we were half way down the stairs is that she had removed her shoes, even though she was on the step above me, I never really notice how short she was.

"Bella I never realized how short you were." She looked at me with a look of how to put it I think the saying if looks could kill.

"Well thank you darling husband of mine, I thought you would have noticed seeing as you seem to notice everything else. I am 5 6. Silly boy." She said as she gracefully past me on the stairs. I just laughed and followed her back outside.

Alice jumped Bella as soon as she walked out into the garden, knocking her on her behind. I gave my tiny sister as stern look which she just ignored.

"Bella where did you go I have been looking for you, for the past 15 minutes." Alice said once she has stood up, placing her hands on her hips and looking down at Bella.

"Well Alice, I seem to remember having a 4 month old baby." She replied from her place on the floor. I knelt down on the floor beside Bella, placing my hands under her arms and lifted her off the ground. I looked at Alice again, shaking my head at her.

"Well I am sure that Esme could have done that for you, this is your party after all." She said matter of factly. I looked down at my bride and moved us towards the tent.

I found Bella a seat next to Jasper and Emmett. "Jasper I hope you don't mind me killing your wife do you?" I asked my brother, who in return did not look impressed with me.

"Edward, can you blame her for being so excited, especially since neither of you let her plan or even go to the wedding." Jasper said looking at me.

"That is so true Eddie boy, why did you not invite us all to your wedding?" Emmett asked looking like a complete idiot with his pout. I turned to Bella to explain to them.

"Um … Um I only wanted it to be very small, and Emmett I love you I really do but I was pretty sure you would have come out with some overly childish comment and I just wanted it to be quick and very painless." She told Emmett who in return looked from me, to Jasper back to me then at Bella. Then just shrugged got up and went off to find Rose. Jasper ended up on the floor rolling around with laughter.

"Well Bella I think you just put him in this place." Jasper finally said once he had calmed down.

Moments later Charlie came over to us. "Hey Bells I think I am going to head home before Esme gives me any more beer." He laughed. Bella stood up a little shaky and hugged her father and showed him out. While they were gone I turned to find Esme and Carlisle sat next to Jasper.

"So are you guys having fun?" I asked them while also taking a seat.

"We are having a wonderful time dear, but me and your father as well as the rest of the family have got you and Bella a little something." I looked at my mother and saw that she was folding a white envelope; she pushed across the table with a huge smile plastered across her face. I looked inside and saw 2 plane tickets.

"Rio?" I asked looking at the destination on the ticket.

"We are giving the pair of you, 2 weeks on Isle Esme. Everything is already for you." I looked at my parents very confused, Alice had told both me and Bella that she had organized a small break for us.

"But I thought that Alice had that all sorted?"

"She did, you know Alice is very good at telling you one thing then doing another." Jasper said just as Alice came skipping over to us with a huge grin on her face.

"All your stuff is all packed, and your flight is at midnight so you and Bella have plenty of time to get to the airport." She sang as she placed herself in Jaspers lap.

"Well thank you, all of you. Bella is going to love this." When I finished talking I noticed that Alice was singing show tunes in Russian. I looked at her confused. But she just shrugged her shoulders.

Several moments later Bella returned to the garden looking a little tired. I made my way over to her just as she slumped into my arms.

"I think someone needs to sleep." I said to her while lifting her into my arms. I turned to face our remaining guests and told them that I was going to be taking Bella inside and that I would be out to see them all off.

"Edward I don't want to sleep." She said as I started up the stairs. I looked down at her; she could not keep her eyes open for very long while she spoke.

"Bella, love you have had a long day you need to rest for a little while especially since we have a long journey ahead of us this evening." She looked at me with interest.

"So I take it Alice has spilled on where she is sending us then?" She asked before letting out a rather large yawn. I nodded as I gently pushed our bedroom door open, once inside the room I made my way over to the bed where I gently laid Bella in the middle. She curled up in a ball once I had placed the comforter over her body. She was fast asleep in moments, I went over to Luna who was still sleeping like angel, so I thought it would be find to leave them rest, while I went and sorted out our guesses.

Esme was the first to approach me when I came back out into the garden. "Is everything ok son?" She asked as we made our way over to the rest of the family. I nodded my head to answer her.

"So Edward how does it feel to be finally married?" Rose asked while running her fingers through Emmett's hair.

"Well Rose it is wonderful, especially since it was arranged by me not for me this time." I laughed, the rest of my family did not see the funny side of it. "You can laugh at it, I have grieved my loss of my human life. Bella is all I could ask for now and forever." They all looked at me with forced smiled except for Carlisle who was the only one who truly understood how miserable my human life had been.

"Enough of this we should be celebrating as th….."Alice went off into the future. Darkness started the vision then images of the ocean and isle Esme flashed before my eyes but know of it made sense. "What was that all about Alice?" I ask her confused. I looked at the rest of family who all wore the same expression as me.

Alice places her finger on her chin as she tried to figure out what she just saw. Then she went back to singing show tunes in her head. "Alice show tunes really it is starting to get bloody old." I said looking at my pixie sister. Esme gave me her disapproving look. "Sorry mother."

"Well the blackness means that Jacob is coming over and the rest you will have to figure the rest out." She said giving me a wink.

"Eddie boy I think you are in for sexy time over the next 2 weeks." Emmett wiggled his eyebrows at me. I just shook my head at his childish thoughts.

After Emmett's encouraging thoughts I went to mingle with the last of our guests.

"Oh Edward why did you have to marry that witch? We could have been so good together." I heard Laurens whiny voice coming from the far end of the garden; I turned and saw that she was stood with Jessica and Mike. So I headed over to where they were standing.

"It is so nice of you guys to come this evening." I said as I stopped next to Mike. Jessica and Lauren just stood wide mouthed ogling me. "You're … You're very welcome Edward, can I ask where is Bella she seems to be missing out on the party?" Jessica asked trying to sound sweet and innocence.

"She is upstairs resting, as she has had a long day, as Alice woke her up at 5 this morning."

"Well she would need to be up that long to make her look half pretty." I heard Lauren say under her breath.

"Well again thank you very much for coming." I said forcing a smile on to my face, then turning to leave.

I talked to the remaining people, which were just people from school. As the sky started to grow dark, everyone started to leave. Just as the last people were leaving Jacob and Leah walked up the stairs to the front door.

"Hey guys, did we miss a party?" Jacob asked. Watching the last of the cars drove down the drive way.

"Did Alice not invite you guys this evening?" I asked confused.

"Well by the looks of thinks what we celebrating?" Leah asked as I stepped aside to let them into the house.

"Um well me and Bella got married this afternoon." I said scratching the back of my neck. Jacob did not look at all happy about this.

"You got married this afternoon and Bella did not bother to call me." Jacob looked very upset by this news.

"I am amazed that she did not call you Jacob, and that Alice did not invite either of you." I said turning and looking for Alice I would be having a word with her later.

"Well don't worry about it now what's done is done, but congrats anyway Edward. Where is Bella and the little imp?" Jacob asked looking round the living room for them.

"They are upstairs sleeping they have both had a long day. But I have to get Bella up soon as we are going away for a couple of weeks."

"Actually that is why we are here, Esme called us yesterday and said that you were going away and to come by and sort out arrangements for the Imp."

"Well if you give me a moment I will go and get Bella up and then we can sort something." I headed towards the stairs and up to my room. Once outside I could Luna giggling like crazy, I walked into the room to find Luna holding her head and looking straight at Bella, who was still fast asleep. I made my way over to Luna's crib and lifted her up into my arms.

"Hello little lady did you have a good sleep." She giggled even more at my and pulled at my hair. "I will take that as a yes then. Well I think it is time to wake your mama up." I walked over to the bed and gently ran my fingers down Bella's cheek; her eyes fluttered up and looked up at me.

"More sleep, need more sleep." She said closing her eyes and pulling the comforter over her head. I pulled it away from her face.

"No Bella you have to wake up Jacob is down stairs and they have come to take Luna for a couple of days while we are away." I said holding out my hand to her.

She placed her hand in mine and I helped her off the bed. She ran her hand over her hair in an attempted to flatten the mess that had been made. "Come on love we need to go sort out housing arrangements for the little angel. Then I am sure Alice will want to redress you for our trip this evening." She rolled her eyes at the last part.

"Does that little Pixie not understand that I am able to dress myself and have been doing so for the last 18 years of my life." She said as we made our way down the stairs.

When we entered the living room, Jacob pulled Bella into a hug which she did not enjoy, looking very uncomfortable while Leah stood and took Luna from my arms.

"So I hear there has been a new addition to the Cullen family." Leah asked looking up from Luna.

"Yeh about that, sorry that I did not phone but it was pretty much a last minute decision, Edward only asked me 2 days ago." She said taking my hand and smiling at me.

"Wow 2 days that is defiantly a short proposal." Jacob laughed as placed his arm around Leah.

"Yeh and it was not a very romantic proposal either." She said laughing at me.

"Thanks Bella, they do not need to know how I proposed to you. At least you did marry me, that is the main thing." I told her as Alice as came bounding in through the house. And grabbing Bella's hand she pulled her to her bedroom.

"Well I think they are going to be awhile. So I think the best thing to do would be for you to look after Luna this week and Esme and Carlisle can take her, if you like." I said as Leah bounced Luna on her knee.

"I think that sounds like a good plan tell Esme that we will bring her back next Thursday. When do you guys expect to be back?" Jacob asked me, my attention had been drawn to Alice's room. They appeared at the top of the stairs, Bella was dressed in a tight black maxi dress. Her hair had been curled around her face making her look like Marilyn Monroe.

"Bella you look beautiful." I said pulling her into my arms.

"Why thank you, Alice has done a wonderful again." She smirked as my sister gave her a oh-course-i-am-wonderful look.

"Well we better get going otherwise Alice will kill us for missing our flight." I told her as we turned to face Jacob and Leah.

"Well I think it would be a good idea if we got going. Goodbye my little Angel be good for daddy and Aunty Leah." She said kissing Luna gently on forehead. I did the same before letting Bella show them out while I went to find the others to pass on Jacob's message.

After saying goodbye to the family I and Bella headed off to the airport where we were in for an 18 hour flight to Rio.
