Sorry for the delay, but I got super sick and was barely able to do anything, but on the bright side this is the longest chapter yet.

And I also want to say thank you for the response to the last chapter, you all blew me away with the amount of reviews and alerts. You all rock something majorly awesome!

So I will stop now and let you get to it...enjoy!

The plane ride home to Seattle

"Angela, stop looking at me like that."

"Like what? I'm not looking at you like anything."

"You're looking at me like you want to say something."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are so just say it already, say whatever it is that is on your mind that you have been dieing to say since you found out."

"Well, since you asked." She started out with a fake niceness; then she went all crazy pregnant woman on me, "Isabella Marie Swan I cannot believe that you got married. What on earth were you thinking? How could you just go off and get married without me there. How could you allow your new husband to get married without his brothers there? What were you two thinking?" She was getting good at this mom thing, but she was still crazy.

She's not mad that I got married in Vegas, she's mad that I got married in Vegas without her there.

Nothing about this weekend is making any sense.

"We weren't thinking Angela okay, we were drunk, really drunk, neither one of us knew what was happening so just lay off, it was a mistake and it will be corrected as soon as possible."

"Calm down Bella, you don't have to yell."

I didn't even realize I was raising my voice and that everyone on the plane was now looking at me.

After I felt my normal blush cover my cheeks out of complete embarrassment I mumbled a quick sorry to everyone and then I put in my ipod earphones effectively ending my conversation with Angela.

I knew she wasn't done with me, but I was in no position to be answering questions right now.

Edward and I made a mistake. No matter how you look at it, we made a mistake.

Things just don't happen this way. You don't get your happily ever after by marring a random person in Vegas

But he's not some random person…he's Edward.

Him being Edward or not, I just cant allow this marriage to continue.

No matter how much I love him, I can't trap him. He has his own life to live and now his perfect life has to be tainted by a tacky, quickie marriage on a getaway trip to Vegas.

Put I will keep my promise to him.

I have what I want, the man of my dreams for life, bound by law in marriage, but there is no way we could be happy. How could we ever be happy? We were bound to each other in the legal sense, but we were missing the most important thing: mutual love for one another.

How could we have a marriage if we are missing one of the most important things?

Easy. We couldn't

We didn't follow the steps. We didn't date; we didn't do the falling in love and missing each other like crazy even when we've been separated for only a minuet. We didn't move in with each other and argue about leaving the cap of the toothpaste tube off; there was no swooning and the perfect proposal out on the beach while I held a bouquet of lilies at sunset, there were none of the things I wanted to go along with the only man I ever wanted and needed.

But the most important thing was that Edward didn't have a choice. He didn't choose me, he didn't seek me out to date and love and marry. He married me when we were both drunk and not in our full mental capacities.

I may want the perfect story with all the romance, but I want the love the most. I want Edward to be the one to love me, but how can he, things just don't happen the way they happened for us.

No one ever gets there happily ever after by marrying someone in Vegas, a stranger, because no matter how much I loved him and knew about him he was a still a stranger. We didn't know each other in the way husband and wife know each other and despite what he said, we couldn't make it work, we just couldn't. That afternoon I had made my mind up and I was sticking to the decision I had made, no matter how much it hurt.

EPOV

The Plane ride home to Seattle

"Dude, you know Alice, Rose and your mom are going to be pissed that you got married and they weren't there to witness it."

Jasper was usually really good at putting things into perspective, but not right now.

"Jasper I really don't care right now. I deal with the girls later."

He looked at me with such a sad expression; he was the only one to really understand how I felt about Bella, hell he was the only one to know how I really felt about Bella, he always had talent for knowing how and what people were feeling. He knows and understands the love I have for Bella, but just like me, he puts it aside and tries to ignore it. I know as my sisters husband and my friend, he wants me to be happy and he tried talking to me, but we never talked about it there was nothing to talk about because I put it all aside years ago so she could be happy, but now, there was something to talk about, but I just couldn't bring myself to talk about it. It hurt too much to even think about and yet I couldn't stop myself from thinking about it.

After the dreadful next morning, well afternoon, I finally made it back to my own hotel room I mentioned quickly what happened and that I didn't want to talk about it.

How could I want to talk about it? My heart was literally broken and all the pieces were with Bella.

Jasper and surprisingly Emmett picked up on my mood and didn't ask a single question. Although I knew their silence would not last it was greatly appreciated at the time, especially when I barely knew what was going to happen. But of course it wouldn't last forever. Not one minute after we were seated on the plane all the reminders of what was waiting for me at home were brought to my attention.

Not only would I have to deal with the women of my family, I was also going to have to 'take care' of my marriage as my wife put it.

"I'm just saying, you know how they are and their husbands are going to be the ones that have to deal with them. And you know Alice and Esme are going to be the worse, so don't get mad at me when the Pixie is calling and yelling because I will not stand in her way."

"Yeah, whatever." I put my earphones on effectively ending the conversation; I didn't want to deal with any of this right now. All I wanted to do was try to figure it all out.

It's painful to think about, but I guess my relationship with Bella has always been somewhat painful.

I wanted to fix this, but I didn't know how.

How do you convince the woman you love and married that you want to spend all of eternity with her?

Easy you dumb ass, you don't get married in Vegas.

But we did get married in Vegas and I do love her and I know she loves me.

I just wish she could see it so we could finally have what we both want.

Or at least want you think you both want.

No, I know we both want it and we will have it.

We could be perfect, hell she has more perfect in her pinkie finger for the both of us, and I just wish I could have her see how perfect she and I are for each other and how perfect we can be together.

I have Bella bound to me in the best of ways.

But she doesn't want it and I don't know why.

We love each other

You know she loves you, and you know you love her, but does she know that you love her.

It probably would have helped my case if she knew I loved her too, but it's not like we really talked all that much. Well, we talked a lot kind of, but once she found out we were married there wasn't a whole lot of talking.

What am I going to do? I need her in my life and now I have her in my life, kind of, but she wants nothing to do with me.

And it doesn't make any sense. She is one of the most confusing people on the face of the planet.

And because of her all of my thoughts are now barley making any sense to me.

Maybe if I replay the day enough times I can find were I need to fix everything because I know, I just know deep down that me and her, She and I, Bella and Edward are meant to be forever

Great, now you sound just like Alice.

The morning after the Wedding (EPOV)

UGH, my head hurts like a mother….

"AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And that loud ass scream sure as hell ain't helping the situation.

Oh god. Scream there is going to be some scary looking woman right next to me; I can just picture the fake blond hair, fake boobs and contact covered yes. I can't believe I got so drunk I had a one-night stand, and I don't even remember it.

What a way to lose your virginity.

"Edward?"

"Bella? Oh thank god!" I said with a ton of relief, "You have no idea how happy I am its you next to me and not some random Vegas woman."

Relief colored on her face, but then she had an unreadable expression on her face, but it was a somewhat questioning look.

"Edward? Did we…um…you know…um…do it?"

"Do what?"

She just responded by slapping the palm of her hand to her forehead, like her question was so obvious anyone should have been able to answer it.

Oh…did we do it…I get it now. It is a pretty obvious question.

"Did we have sex Edward?" She said a little annoyed. Maybe she was annoyed that I didn't pick up on her question, but hello, I'm still hung-over.

By this time we were both sitting slightly up, but still completely covered by the blankets.

"I don't think so."

At the same time we both peeked under the blankets and at the same time we both let out a breath of air and a sigh of relief, only she took it a step farther…

"Oh thank god! I have clothes on under here."

"Hey…" I kind of resented that, not to sound conceited, but I know I'm not ugly; I cant be that bad of a person to wake up next to.

"I didn't mean anything by that, but it's just a drunk one night stand with someone is not the way I envisioned myself losing my virginity." Then she slapped her hands over her mouth and looked a little…um embarrassed…but why?

"Yeah I know what you mean."

"What?"

"What?"

"Are you a virgin Edward?"

"Yeah, so are you, I don't get how that's a bad thing."

"It's not a bad thing, it's just an unexpected thing to hear from you."

"Why is it such an unexpected thing to hear from me?"

"Well look at you, your hot and Edward Cullen, who wouldn't want to sleep with you."

"Just because woman want to sleep with me doesn't mean I want to sleep with them. Maybe I'm waiting for 'the one'."

"I'm waiting for the one."

"Jake wasn't the one?"

"You remembered his name?"

"Give me some credit Bella, I wasn't that drunk and I'm not that hung-over." Okay so that's kind of a lie, I really just guessed, but my head still hurts way too much.

"No."

"No, what?"

"No Jake wasn't the one."

"Oh."

Silence was filling the room. Normally it may have been awkward, but we were both hung-over.

"Edward?"

"Yes Bella?"

"I'm glad we stopped talking. My head really hurts and all the noise we were making was only making it worse."

"Yeah I know, my head hurts too."

"Can we go back to sleep?"

"Yeah sure no problem"

And then we both drifted off to sleep

(4 hours later…)

Cause your hot and then your cold…

What the hell is that noise?

Your yes then your no…

"Bella." Nothing. "Bella!" Still nothing. Okay, go with something different. I gently nudged her back with my foot, "Bella!!" and then she proceeded to fall off of the bed…maybe I nudged her a little too hard.

"What the hell is your problem Cullen?"

She's even hotter when she's mad.

"Sorry, your phone was ringing."

"Oh crap! What time is it? Angela is going to be so pissed at me."

"Well it looks like it is now 2:37 in the afternoon. Maybe I should call my brothers too, they might want to know where I've been all day."

"Lets call them at the same time." Why? She can be weird sometimes, but I love that little weirdo and whatever Bella wants, Bella gets.

"Fine by me."

Both phone calls pretty much went the same: Us apologizing for going missing and then our friends saying 'We knew that the two of you were with each other and it's about time the two of you hooked up.' Apparently Jasper, Emmett and Angela decide to go have lunch together.

From our end we just replied that we were drunk, too drunk to remember where our respective rooms were at so we just rented our own room and passed out for the day.

I wasn't sure how accurate that information was, but it sounded good, so we just went with that

And then we both got the typical 'okay, whatever you say.'

During our respective phone conversations it did not escape my notice that I just woke up, for the second time, next to the love of my life, and can I just say she looks absolutely sexy waking up.

After Bella and I got off our phones, she turned to me while she was on her knees and put on the sweetest fucking look I have ever seen, but I know that look, Alice gives that look a lot. It's the look every woman gives a man when she is about to ask for something.

But come on, Bella should know, she is talking to me, the answer is yes, no matter what it will always be yes.

"Edward, my head still hurts a bit, do you think you could maybe find me some aspirin?" She asked with an unnecessary amount of sweetness in her voice, did she think I was going to say no.

"Of course Bella, I need some too anyways."

"Really… just like that, no sarcastic comment about how I have two legs and I can do it myself? Wow…" she trailed off at the end.

"Why would I do that? Were you expecting that?"

"Well kind of, maybe, not really, I don't know, it's just that was what I always got out of Jake."

"Well Bella, the one thing you will learn about me fairly quickly is that I am not Jake."

And I threw in my best smile just to make sure she got the point.

"Yeah, I noticed." She responded with a soft smile.

So fucking sexy.

"Let me go get that aspirin."

As I walked out of the room I quickly noticed that when I am drunk I turn into an even bigger spender because not only did I get us a hotel room, I got us suit, a nice one at that. When I made it to the kitchen I could hear Bella asking what she thought we did the night before.

As she asked her question though I noticed that her voice was getting clearer and like a ghost, or Alice, she popped up in front of me and startled me a bit. I found some aspirin in a cabinet and filled a glass of water for each of us after I calmed my heart down…she's so quiet, she should wear a bell to let people know when she's arrived.

While Bella took her medication sitting at the kitchen bar I noticed and official looking piece of paper sitting on the opposite counter. Well I wonder what that could be.

Before I even took my aspirin I walked over to the counter and picked up the paper.

Well, this is either the best or worst thing to ever happen to me.

For now I think I am going with best.

"Well Bella, I think I can answer the question as to what we did last night."

"Oh really, how, did you find embarrassing pictures of us dancing on bar tables." She giggled out.

And for a brief second I lost my train of thought because that was the singles cutest noise I had ever heard.

When I regained my train of thought I was able to respond, "Not exactly."

"Then what did we do last night?"

"Well according to this last night, or should I say early this morning you and I got married." I tired to say it neutrally just in case she didn't see things as happily as I did.

"Come on Edward be serious. Now what's that in your hand?"

"I am being serious Bella. This is out marriage certificate."

"What..,? that can't be, how did we get married? There has to be some kind of mistake. No, this is…just…no…there is no way we are married."

Okay, so she doesn't see things my way.

"Don't worry Edward as soon as we get back to Seattle we will get this taken care of, I promise you that."

What the hell does that mean.

"Get this taken care of, what the hell is that suppose to mean. I don't want to get this taken care of."

"Yes you do Edward, once your fully sober you will see that I am not what you want and when we get this taken care of you will be able to live you life and have what you really want in life."

"No Bella, I know this is unexpected, but we can make this work. Together you and I can make it work."

"No, Edward I understand, but I promise we will take care of it in a classy manner."

Flashes of last night started coming back to me and even though I had no idea what her last statement meant, I knew I couldn't let it end, then I remembered the most important thing from last night, she said she loved me.

"Bella, do remember anything from last night, anything at all." I knew I was begging, but I really needed her to remember.

"No I don't, but why does that even matter, I will fix this problem, I know I probably created it."

She had just finished putting her shoes back on. I was too shocked to move, so I just stood in one place. I vaguely registered her moving to the counter and writing something down.

"Here is my number Edward, call me when you get back to Seattle so we can handle all of this."

As she was walking out the door I asked her one more time not to go, but I don't think she heard me.

And then in the blink of an eye she was gone and I was all-alone.

Back on the plane…(EPOV)

Maybe I should have brought up the fact that she said she loved me instead of asking her to remember.

Maybe I should have told her she was the one I wanted and would always want.

Maybe I should have told her I loved her.

There where a whole lot of maybes and I still didn't know what to do in order to fix it all.

At some point we landed back in Seattle and I'm sure at some point I made it off the plane and to baggage claim. And I'm pretty sure that I picked up my baggage, I really couldn't feel anything but the numbness coursing through my veins, but if I didn't that was fine I had the money to replace all of it.

I was expecting to walk out of the airport and go directly to my car while I said goodbye to my brothers, what I was not expecting was to see her.

Standing there looking like she was waiting for someone was my wife, my Bella.

I had the strongest urge to run to her, scope her into my arms, kiss her and whisper my words of love for and let her know I was never going to let he go.

But I needed her to look at me, I needed us to lock eyes, call me a girl, but I needed the sign to know that this was it.

And then the heavens looked down at me and granted my wish or took pity on me, however you want to look at it…

We locked eyes and the biggest fucking grin I had ever seen graced my beautiful wife's face.

I fucking knew it, we were meant to be.

Back in the room she was just caught off guard by the whole thing, but she loves me and I love her and together we would make it work.

As I was making my way towards Bella, the heavens decided they needed to fuck with me again…

"Oh Eddie your back!!!!" And then the fake strawberry blond known as Tanya latched her arms around my neck and started kissing me.

I didn't even think about what I was doing, but I knew I needed her off of me and the quicker the better, so I pushed her off of me.

I looked back up to look for Bella, but just as quickly as she appeared, she had now disappeared.

Fucking perfect.

Now she was gone again and I was all-alone again.

BPOV

While I listened to some music, flashes of my weekend started to come back to me.

And I remembered that I asked him to play dress up with me.

Really Bella, dress up…worse proposal ever!

I told him that I loved him.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I told him I wasn't the one he wanted and we would take care of everything, but he still

asked me to stay for the same reasons I wanted to stay.

I just had a fuck epiphany.

It was fate and I knew exactly what I had to do.

When I got off of the plane I told Angela to leave without me because I had a plan and it was one of the best plans I had ever had.

I waited and I waited and then I waited some more. I knew his flight was coming in a few hours after ours, but with my sudden burst of emotion time seemed to be going by even slower.

Then by some miracle his plane finally landed.

I was so anxious to see his face that I was bouncing up and down.

After what seemed like an eternity I finally saw his bronze hair appear through the crowd.

Please just look my way. Let us lock eyes for one moment so that I know its all true.

Let us have our moment.

And then it happened, like a cheesy moment out of a movie. Everything slowed down while we made eye contact with each other.

And I know the biggest goofiest grin was plastered on my face, but I didn't care because I was getting my man.

For once things were going to go well in my life. No matter how I looked at it I was going to get it all. I was going to get my perfect ending.

Then the fairy tale I was living suddenly turned into a nightmare.

Out of no where, like the murderer in a horror film, came the most annoying high pitched scream that simultaneously shattered my ear drums and heart.

"Oh Eddie your back!!!!" She was beautiful and I hated her.

Then she started kissing him and I wanted to puke.

The blond bitch ruined my marriage before we even had a chance to begin.

It should be he and I locked in an embrace…not the two of them.

When I saw them together I knew I had to get out of there.

I could not stick around a second longer, I didn't want to risk Edward seeing my heartbreak into a million pieces.

And then I knew I had made the right choice from the begging.

We were going to get this taken care of and soon so I could, I was going to try to move on so he could be happy, because in the end I just want the love of my life to be happy even if it is not with me.

See you all next Chapter

BTW a very sext man by the name of Edward Cullen asked that you all review! Thanks!
