Chapter 15

"What was the other part?" Esme asked.

I looked at Edward. He was staring at me waiting for an answer as well. "You didn't grasp the fact that your son was out there risking his life everyday?" I asked once I looked back at them.

They looked at me stunned. It was obvious it never crossed their minds. "He could have died," I continued. I looked back at Edward to find him gazing at the floor next to my feet in thought.

"Sorry," Esme apologized to Edward. He looked up at her stunned.

"Sorry son," Carlisle apologized afterwards.

Edward shook his head a bit, "There's nothing to apologize for. I'm just glad that you guys took care of her when I was gone," he said as he placed his hand on top of mine.

Esme smiled, "Is there something you want to tell us?" she asked. She always seemed to know this kind of stuff.

"Actually there is," Edward said as a smile slowly crept up on his face.

"Well?" Esme asked excited.

I intertwined my fingers with Edward's and smiled. He looked over at me, "You tell them," I told him.

He looked back at his parents, "Bella and I are getting married today," Edward announced.

"Yes!" Esme exclaimed before grabbing Carlisle shirt in her fists, "My sons finally getting married!" she exclaimed to him happily.

The reaction had me both shocked and laughing. It looked weird to see her like this. The only other time I had seen her like that was when she found out Carlie was a girl.

Carlisle chuckled and lightly placed his hands on hers, "He's my son too."

"I know! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she said between pecks on his lips.

I rested my head on Edwards shoulder and chuckled at her lightly. I wonder if I'll ever get that crazy about Carlie. "When is it?!" Esme asked practically bouncing up and down.

"As soon as you want," I told her.

"Oh! Let's go now!" she said as she jumped up.

"Wait grandma!" Carlie said as she wobbled over to her.

"Aren't you excited sweetheart?" Esme asked her as she bent down in front of her.

"Yes…do you still have my dress?" she asked.

"Sure why?" she looked up at me for an answer.

"She's the flower girl," I told her.

She looked back at Carlie, "Aww you're going to be the prettiest flower girl ever," she told her with a smile.

She flushed before she took Esme's hand and started leading her upstairs, "Come on grandma!"

Esme picked her up and went up the stairs to Carlie's room. Maybe she was spoiled? She had three rooms in three different houses? Is that spoiled or loved? I guess that would go under both.

Carlisle left the room and went outside. Edward twirled me to him and wrapped his arms around me, "Was that weird or was that just me?" he asked.

I chuckled lightly, "Your mom got like that when she found out Carlie was a girl. And she probably got like that when she found out Carlie was born too."

"She must have been really desperate for me to get married," he commented.

"Well you are 26 and have been with me for almost ten years," I reasoned.

He narrowed his eyes at me playfully, "You're 26 too," he defended himself weakly.

"Yes but I'm three months younger than you," I grinned.

He rolled his eyes and leaned in to kiss me, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" we pulled away from each other to see Carlisle giving us a scolding face, "Not until the wedding."

We smiled at him and he walked upstairs. I looked back at Edward, "Well if that's the way it's supposed to be I suppose I should travel back in time and get my virginity back."

Edward chuckled lightly as he shook his head, "No need to. You aren't wearing a white dress saying you're a virgin anyways."

I nodded, "True."

"Do you wish you were a virgin?" he asked.

"No," I replied quickly.

"Why not?" he asked.

"For one I wouldn't have Carlie," I told him.

"And two?" he asked.

"It hurts. And don't tell me it doesn't because I remember clearly with disgust that Alice and Rosalie said it hurt like hell," I protested when he started to object.

"I wouldn't know," he said with a small shrug.

I smiled wickedly, "That's right you've never done anything with a virgin," I chuckled evilly as I pointed my finger into his chest, "And now you never will."

"I never said I wanted to do anything with a virgin," he said as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

I wrapped my arms around him with a smile, "I feel like rubbing it in your face…just to annoy you."

He wrapped his arms around my waist, "And how exactly would you do that?"

"I'd tell you repeatedly that I've done it with a virgin and you haven't," I told him.

He looked over at the stairs and back at me in panic, "Shh…I don't want my dad to hear you."

"Why? For all your dad knows I've had sex with tons of guys," I told him.

"Yeah right," he said sarcastically.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You don't look like the type of girl that would have done that," he told me as he lightly placed his hands on my bottom.

I moved my hands away from his neck and moved his hands up to my waist, "And I'm also the type of girl that doesn't like being grabbed on the ass in someone else's house."

"Exactly…I was just proving my point," he said looking away.

I smiled as I shook my head, "Sure."

"Should we ask our parents now if Carlie can stay?" he asked.

"If you want," I told him as I reached up and kissed his throat.

He looked at me confused once I pulled away, "What was that?" he asked.

"Hey if I can't kiss your lips I can settle with your neck," I said with a small shrug.

He smiled as he leaned in and kissed the tip of my nose. I closed my eyes and smiled. I opened them up and looked over at the staircase to see Esme walking down the stairs with a dressed up Carlie in her arms.

I pulled away from Edward and walked over and took Carlie from Esme's arms, "You look pretty," I told her.

She smiled and kissed my cheek, "I'm ready to go."

Carlisle came in holding a basket with rose petals in them, "Here you go big girl."

She took them and sniffed them, "It smells pretty."

"Let's get this show on the road!" Esme said as she headed for the doorway. She walked up to me first and handed me Edward's ring. I had told her to keep it for safe keepings since she did have a safe unlike me.

"Thanks," I told her as I slipped it into my pocket. I wonder of Edward remembered to bring my wedding ring?

I turned around and headed for the car. I buckled Carlie up in her car seat before I got in the drivers seat and we headed off to church. The church wasn't very far from here. And I thought I would be excited…maybe even nervous…but for some reason I felt content about what I was about to do.

We got out of the car and headed to the church. We entered the huge church doors to find it empty. Which was perfect. I took Carlie's hand and we all slowly walked towards the podium. "Father Thomas?" I asked once we reached the front of the church.

"Bella! It's good to see you!" he said happily as he came out from the back door and walked over to us.

I smiled, "Right back atcha," he came up to me and gave me a small hug.

"Are we ready for the ceremony?" he asked with a slight British accent.

I looked back at Edward. He nodded in reassurance before I looked back at him, "Yes."

"Good then…positions everyone!" he called out as I walked back to Edward.

"Mommy?" Carlie asked as she tugged on my hand. I looked down at her, "When am I going to throw the flowers?" she asked with a smile.

I bent down and tucked her hair behind her ears, "When you see me and daddy turn around to leave get in front of us and start throwing them in front of us," I told her with a smile.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, "Okay mommy."

I pulled away and kissed her forehead. She grinned at me before she walked over to Carlisle and Esme.

"Ready?" Father Thomas asked once I stood up and took Edward's hand.

I nodded letting him precede, "Edward Anthony Mason Cullen do you take Isabella Marie Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife; to have and to hold in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

I felt his hand squeeze mine in reassurance, "I do," he reached into his pocket and slipped the wedding ring on my finger. It looked a lot like my engagement ring but it was brighter and bigger.

"And do you Isabella Marie Swan take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband; to have and to hold in sickness and in health until death do you part?" he asked me with a smile on his lips.

I smiled back, "I do," I reached into my pocket and took out his wedding ring.

He handed me a pen, "Sign here," he told me. I signed it and gave the pen to Edward. He signed in the spot next to mine and gave the pen back to Father Thomas.

"By the powers vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife," he said happily.

I bit my lip with a small grin on my lips, "You may now kiss the bride," he told Edward.

We turned to each other slowly. He took my face in his hands gently and lightly kissed my lips. Carlisle and Esme clapped making me smile against his lips. He pulled away with a smile, "We finally did it."

I grinned at him, "We did."

He took my hand again and we turned toward the exit. Carlie quickly walked in front of us and skipped as she threw the flower petals to the ground. I felt nothing but happiness at the moment. I had finally made this dream come true. I married Edward Cullen. I am now Isabella Marie Swan Cullen. Or Bella Cullen for short.

A/N: Aww they got married!!! LOL review please!
