Oh my is this an UPDATE?! Yes it is! I'm so sorry you guys! I made this chapter extra long to make up for it tough! I'm taking summer school classes right now and there college classes and there kicking my butt. So in the reviews I asked if you wanted Bella pregnant or not. Most of you said you didn't want her pregnant and truth be told, I agree with you guys. So after this chapter there will be one more chapter. Thanks to all my reviewers, you guys are the best seriously. On to the next chapter.
In the last chapter:
"Thanks Bella! I'll see you guys soon hopefully. If you need help planning your wedding, let me know!"
"Will do. Bye Sarah. Bye Felix."
"Bye", they both answered in unison. I turned around to face Edward who had a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Ready to go home love?"
"More ready then ever", he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we exited Volterra to head back home.
"Home sweet home!" I yelled walking into the house with Edward. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Mmm certainly is." He kissed my neck. Then I felt someone grab my hand.
"Nope, no time for that now!" Alice yanked me away from Edward. "We have a wedding to plan missy!" I groaned.
"Alice we just got home! Can I please just relax for a bit? Go take a nap?" Alice shook her head.
"I know what will happen if you go up to bed and take a nap. And it has to do with you, Edward, and-"
"Alice I don't like you looking in on me and my fiance's sex life!" I heard Edward yell from the other room. Alice giggled.
"Sorry. Look, you've spent all your time with Edward ever since you've left Volterra. And I just...I really miss you." Alice stood there looking at me with the saddest look on her face. I just couldn't say no to her. And not to mention, I did miss my best friend.
"OK Alice, lets plan a wedding." She squeeled in delight.
"Oh this going to be so much fun Bella!"
"Hey, we want to help to you know!" Rosalie and Esme came into the kitchen, huge smiles plastered on their faces. For the next four hours, we sat around the dining room, discussing wedding ideas. It got to a point where I just wanted to quit and let them do whatever they wanted to do with the wedding. It was to much work for me.
"Alright, I think we are done for right now." Alice said, shutting her planner.
"Thank you Jesus!" I yelled, raising my hands in the air.
"This is only the beginning Bella, just so you know." I groaned.
"Why can't you guys just plan it?"
"Because then it wouldn't all be your wedding now would it? And besides it will all be worth it in the end." I couldn't argue with that.
"Where is the beautiful bride to be?" My father said walking into the kitchen. "Ah, there she is!" He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me into a tight hug.
"Hey dad." He pulled back from me and smiled.
"Bella, would you please join me in my office? Catch up on some things?"
"Sure Dad."
"Wait Bella! I won't be seeing you for the rest of the night and I just want to remind you, were going to be testing cakes tomorrow...or you'll be testing cakes tomorrow. So be up bright and early so we won't be late!" I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever Alice. See you in the morning!" I followed my father out of the kitchen. On our way up stairs, Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were all sitting in the living room laughing and talking enthusiastically. I loved seeing Edward so relaxed and happy. He saw me walk by and flashed me that beautiful smile of his.
'I'll see you later tonight love', I said to Edward, forcing my thoughts towards him. He smiled at me and nodded. I followed my father upstairs and into his office. When we reached his office, I shut the door behind me and collapsed in the big armchair across from his desk. My father did not sit down just yet. He walked over to a cabinet and opened it up. He pulled open a drawer and searched through it for a moment. Then he turned towards me and sat down in the armchair next to mine.
"Bella, I want to give you something." In his hand was a black velvet box. He opened it and inside was a necklace. It was simple. It was a silver chain with a small blue circular stone and diamand attached to it. It was stunning.
"Oh dad it's beautiful!"
"Bella...this necklace was meant for your mother. I had it in my pocket the night I told her who I was. And obviously... I wasn't able to give it to her. I hope that you can wear it for your wedding...something blue and something new perhaps?" He smiled at me. I couldn't help the tears that were forming in my eyes.
"I really dont know what to say. Of course I will. Mom would have loved this." I could see my father swallow hard.
"I would have hoped so." His voice cracked a little when he spoke. "Like I've told you over and over I love Esme. I love her more then anything in this world. But that doesn't mean that I still don't love and miss Amelia dearly."
"A first love is always hard dad." He nodded.
"I know dear. I just wish...I just wish she could be here to see you walk down the isle. She would have been so happy for you Bella."
"Me to. I wish she could be here to." The tears were flowing freely from me now.
"I'll hold onto this necklace until the wedding for you ok?" I nodded. We sat for the next couple of hours discussing my mother and his favorite memories of her. We also discussed the wedding quite a bit. He could understand where I was coming from that I did not want to plan this wedding because it was to much to handle. But he agreed with what Alice said, that it would be worth it all in the end. As the night was coming to an end, I was truly exhausted. I said goodnight to my father and headed toward my room. I could not wait to go to my room and lay in my bed. When I entered my room, Edward was sitting on the edge of my bed with his arms open. I hurried over to him and collapsed into them. I yawned loudly and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Tired love?" I nodded.
"Mhm. It's been a long day."
"Yes it has." Edward picked me up and layed me down on my bed. He rushed to the other side and got under the covers with me. I rested my head on his chest and wrapped my arm around his waste. We didn't speak for a few minutes, the silence was nice and comfortable. Edward would peck my forehead with kisses every few seconds.
"Edward?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you miss them?" He kissed my forehead.
"Miss who love?"
"Do you miss your parents?" There was a long pause. I looked up at him, afraid I upset him. He looked down at me and smiled faintly.
"I don't really remember my parents to well. Like I've told you my human memories are more of a blur now."
"Of the memories you do have of them, do you miss them?" He looked into my eyes and nodded.
"Yes...yes I do miss them."
"I'm sorry Edward, it's not fair. I wish they could be here to see us get married."
"I do to Bella. They would have loved you. But who couldn't love you?" I smiled.
"You know, there probably looking down on you right now, more proud of you then ever."
"I sure hope so."
"Can I ask you something?" He leaned down to kiss my forehead again.
"Yes my love, you know you can ask me anything."
"What is the best memory you have of them?" Edward scrunched his eyebrows, thinking for a moment.
"The greatest memory I have of them has to be when I was just a boy. I couldn't have been older then six or seven. My parents and I were walking home from a dinner party that was down the street from our house. We lived a few blocks down from a candy shop. I saw a young boy about my age exit the candy shop with a large chocolate bar. Of course I wanted one. As we passed the candy shop, I begged my parents for a chocolate bar, but they refused", Edward laughed, "I was so upset. I cried all the way home." I tried to picture it, a little upset Edward, stomping his feet and crying on the sidewalk. I couldn't help but laugh with him.
"Thats so sad, but yet so funny." Edward laughed.
"Yes it is. Till this day I still never got that chocolate bar."
"You've never had chocolate?"
"Yes, I've had chocolate. But I never got to taste that specific one. That candy shop, which I believe was called Wilford's Candy. It was a family run candy shop. They had their own secret recipe. We moved from that neighborhood before I even got to taste it."
"Edward! That's the saddest thing ever!" He chuckled and kissed my forehead.
"It's all in the past love. Now why don't you get some rest." I nodded and rested my head on his chest once again.
"Night Edward, Love you."
"Goodnight my sweet Bella. I love you." With that, I shut my eyes and drifted off into sleep.
Weeks had passed. Planning the wedding was complete, all that was left was to actually get married and get Edward a wedding present. Edward was the hardest person to shop for ever. What can you get someone who as everything?
Edward and the boys were gone for the day hunting. I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to think of the perfect present for Edward. Then a light bulb went off in my head. The Wilford's Chocolate. I ran to my laptop to turn it on. I went to Google and searched Wilford's and to my surprise, they had an actual website. You would think after all these years they would have run out of business. I clicked on the website and on the homepage there was a picture of the Shop. I saw the picture and burst into laughter. I looked at the sidewalk in the picture and all I could think of was baby Edward crying because he couldn't get his chocolate bar. Well I was going to change that today. I scrolled down and saw that you could order the chocolate from their website. I was thinking about doing that, but it wouldn't be the same chocolate bar rapper like the one back in Edward's time. I called their phone number and spoke with somebody about if there was a way if they could print an original rapper. They said that they could and get requests to print old labels every now and then. The man asked me how many bars I wanted. I thought for a moment of how many I should get him. I mean he couldn't eat them, but how many would he want? Then I had the best idea come to my head. The man on the other end must have thought I was crazy, but I didn't care. I placed my order and hung up. I could not wait for his present to arrive.
It was the night before the wedding. My chocolate bars arrived just a couple days ago. I didn't tell anyone in the house what I was getting him because I was afraid it might slip out in their minds. Alice, of course, knew what I was getting him and thought it was genius. She promised to keep it a secret and thankfully she has. But keeping a secret from Edward is a twenty four hour responsibility. He is so used to knowing everyone's business that it's so hard to surprise him.
"30 more minutes love." Edward whispered to me.
"Ugh stupid wedding traditions." He chuckled.
"I know." Emmett and Jasper were taking Edward out for his bachelor party. We were lying in my bed, holding each other closely.
"Are you ready for your present?" Edward asked me, excited. Edward love giving me things for some reason. I laughed at his enthusiasm.
"Sure, let me have it." We both sat up from my bed into a sitting position. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box and handed it to me.
"Happy almost wedding day!" I laughed. I unwrapped the box carefully and opened it up. They were beautiful round diamond earrings.
"Another hand me down. My mother wore them on her wedding day. I thought you would like them."
"And there stunning. Thank you Edward." Edward leaned down to kiss me.
"Anything for you love." Now was my turn. I was actually really excited to give him his present.
"Are you ready for your amazing present?"
"Amazing huh?"
"Mhmm." I went to my closet and pulled out the large wrapped box that was about half the size I was. As I was walking towards Edward, all I could hear was him laughing.
"Bella, what in the world-" I sat down the package on the floor in front of him and smiled.
"You'll love it, trust me."
"It's so big. I wish now I got you something this big." I rolled my eyes.
"Edward, what you got me was amazing. And plus, your present isn't as big as this box...no where near it actually...just open it already!" He laughed and began unwrapping the box. I sat next to him, watching him. He opened the large box carefully and the look on his face was priceless.
"Oh my god. You didn't." I laughed.
"Yes I did."
"Bella", he whispered as he picked one of the chocolate bars up, "there just how I remember they were. How did you-"
"Don't ask just enjoy." He smiled.
"I don't think it will taste very good. And Bella...how many of these did you get me?!" He asked laughing.
"108." He look at me with both of his eyebrows raised.
"108?!" Bella!" He was laughing even harder now.
"Yes 108. One for every year you never got to taste one." Immediately, Edward stopped his laughing and looked at me. He sat there, smiling at me. If he could cry, he would be.
"Bella", he leaned in to kiss me, "this is the most amazing gift that anyone has ever given me. I love you so much. I love you more then you'll ever know."
"I love you to Edward." Edward looked down at the chocolate bar in his hand.
"Well, I guess there is no better time then the present." He started to unwrap the chocolate.
"You got your chocolate." He smiled.
"Yes, and it only took a hundred years. Finally!" We both laughed. Edward took a piece of the chocolate and placed it on his lips.
"Edward, don't think you have to eat it cause I bought it for you."
"Yes, I know love but I've waited over a hundred years to try this chocolate. So my God I'm going to try it." With that Edward took a bite. He sat there for a moment chewing and then took another bite.
"Be honest Edward, how bad is it?"
"Bella, it's actually very good." I stared at him in shock.
"Are you serious? Don't say that just because I bought all of these for you-"
"No, no, no I'm serious! I can't believe it! I can actually taste it!" He took another bite and then laughed.
"Whats so funny?"
"I guess my parents really are looking down on me."
"What?"
"I guess they felt so bad that I never got to taste it, so there making this taste good for me." I smiled at that and wrapped my arms around him.
"So are you saying you believe in miracles?"
"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying love", he turned toward me and kissed me, "well thats the last of that one. You want to eat one of these with me? I still have 107 more of these left." We both laughed. We sat there for a few minutes, eating the chocolate. Edward was looking like a six year old right now. He was so giddy and would not stop smiling every time he took a bite of chocolate. Then, within a matter of minutes, the fun was over.
"Party time!" Emmett yelled, entering the room. He started to raise his hands to "raise the roof". I sat there, laughing and shaking my head.
"I swear to god Emmett don't you dare ever enter my room like that again." He laughed.
"Sorry Bells...whoa Edward are you eating?"
"Yeah chocolate", he unwrapped another bar and through the wrapper into the pile we both had started.
"Doesn't it taste bad dude?" Emmett asked. Edward shook his head.
"Nope." Edward said, popping another piece of chocolate into his mouth.
"Weird man."
"I know." Edward agreed.
"Let's go you guys. Oh, hey Bella! Ready for tomorrow?" Jasper asked me.
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Alright well lets get this bachelor party going!" Emmett said, clapping his hands together. I sighed heavily and looked at Edward. He looked just as disappointed as I probably did.
"Oh go have fun Edward!" I said giving him a hug.
"I wish I could stay here with you."
"A wedding tradition is a wedding tradition. Go have fun with them and I'll see you tomorrow." He pulled back to look at me.
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow."
"Oh my god you guys rap it up here!"
"Shut it Emmett!" Edward yelled at him.
"Sorry man." Edward looked back at me.
"I love you Bella. Sleep well."
"I love you to Edward." He leaned in and kissed me for a long moment and then pulled back. He got up to go to Emmett. "Where are you guys taking him anyway, a strip club? Edward if you go to a strip club you better tip them nicely." Edward looked at me in disbelief. Then Emmett, Jasper, and I all burst into laughter. "Edward, I would never let you go to a strip club I hope you know." He laughed and shook his head.
"Bella, you know I wouldn't let you let me go to a strip club. There is no need for that." He winked at me.
"Gross you guys."
"Whatever Emmett." I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"Were just going to take him on a late night hunt. The typical night out with the Cullen brothers."
"Thank you for telling me Jasper."
"No problem Darlin'."
"Alright, lets head out!" Emmett said, walking out the door. Jasper followed him and then Edward.
"Hey Edward wait!" He turned around and looked at me. I reached in the box full of his chocolates. "One for the road?" He smiled brightly and nodded. I threw it at him and he caught it.
"Thank you love. You better get some rest you have a big day tomorrow."
"We have a big day tomorrow."
"Yes, we do."
"Oh my god Edward! Lets go!" I heard Emmett yell from downstairs. I laughed.
"Have fun. Bag a mountain lion for me."
"Will do love. Goodnight."
"Night." And with that he left my room and shut the door behind him. I turned towards my nightstand and shut the lamp off. I laid there for a moment under the covers, thinking. Tomorrow I would be a married woman. I shook my head in disbelief and closed my eyes and let the darkness take me.
