Chapter 47

We were up and in the gym at 6am again together. When we were done and back in our suite, Edward asked, "Why do you where these clothes to work out in here and yet in LA you didn't?"

"A - I don't have to hide my ankles anymore. B- It's just too humid here to have much else on. C - are you really complaining?"

"No, I just hope this month goes by quickly."

"I could take different guards with me for my workout and you could workout at another time."

"No way, my beautiful bride-to-be, I'll just have to learn to deal with it. Our workouts are fun; I just hope we can always keep them private."

"Goodbye, Edward unless you want to come join me in the shower."

"Goodbye, Bella, but someday soon."

We went and sat down with Esme and Carlisle to write the press release for my engagement and upcoming wedding. I looked at Edward and said, "Write us out a simple by-line of what you want included about you."

"Okay."

"What is on the internet about you Edward?"

"Nothing since high school the CIA makes sure our lives stay private like that."

"Good."

Eventually, Esme and I agreed on the release.

Queen Isabella Marie Cisne announces her engagement to an American, Edward Anthony Masen. They became friends in the United States and as a mutual interest in marriage and her country, they'll be getting married on March 15th. They would appreciate their privacy that they need right now while they are trying to help the country. After their honeymoon, they'll be touring the islands as a way to meet and introduce themselves to the citizens of the country.

Esme also put together the two simple bios of what I had been doing in the US for six years and about Edward.

Edward and I settled into a routine of working for the country and figuring out where the country stood financially. We were working ten hour days plus workouts and wedding planning. One evening I was yelling at Rose and Alice, "No, I want straps of some kind on the dress."

"Why?"

"Oh, maybe, because it's my wedding and my dress."

"Fine, what if it is lace with crystals and beadwork on it?"

"Just not spaghetti straps. Like this," and I took the drawing and added the straps. My sisters added a little beadwork and I said, "Perfect."

We sent half of the CIA guards' home and I emailed Angela and Emily often. On the weekend before the wedding, I was pacing our bedroom like a caged animal.

"Bella, relax."

"I can't; I need to get outside. I want to scuba dive; I need to relax. Or maybe if you would have sex with me; since I can't go outside, I would relax."

"No way. We have waited this long; we can wait one more week."

"Fine then get me outside."

"Fine, how about after lunch we go diving with Jasper and Emmett?"

"Only, if we can pull them away from Alice and Rose."

"No problem, part of my plan is they are coming with us."

"Oh god, they may not dive once they see those two in their bikinis."

"They will; even if we have to push them in."

"Set it up," and I kissed him and said, "Thank you."

We snuck onto the boat at the last minute and away we went. The three of us girls had all the boys' attention when we came up in our bikinis.

There was a unanimous, "Oh god," as we came out to them.

The four of us dove and my sisters laid on the front of the boat working on their tans. I joined them while we had a surface interval and then we went back in together for a second dive.

Eight days later, I am standing at the door leading to my gardens for the wedding. I am marrying the man that I love. He just doesn't know how much I love him. Edward is marrying me so that I can keep my country. Alice and Rosalie come up behind me and hand me my flowers. "Thank you for coming back for us and bringing the best men with you. Are you ready Bella?"

"You're welcome. I love all those guys and I still can't believe you both have fallen in love with them, so quickly. Yes, I'm ready. I want to be married to Edward so badly; but something just feels wrong."

"Bella, we are back together and we have found three great men. You're running your country like you are supposed to. Everything is perfect and we haven't had any problems since you have been back. Step behind the door and let us go down the aisle. Then you come down on your cue. We love you and smile you look perfect. Edward, does love you and will prove it tonight. Trust me," and Rose winked at me. They were soon in position and then I heard my cue of 'Here Comes the Bride' and I started to walk down the aisle after two guards opened the doors for me. Edward was smiling in his tuxedo at me. He was stunning and handsome, as ever. Maybe one day, maybe even today, he'll tell me he loves me again. He hadn't told me he loved me since that one day at Disneyland. He came down the stairs to meet me and started to help me up the stairs. As I lifted my dress and started up the first step, I heard a gun go off. At the same time, I saw Edward's mouth move and I thought I saw him say, 'I love you,' but then Edward was trying to hold me up.

A/N I am so evil. I know but I will update on Sunday; I promise.
