Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight and all that jazz…

Author's Note: Well, what can I say you guys? First off it's great to be back home and I would've had this chapter out to ya'll a whole lot quicker, but as I'm sure most of you are aware ff(dot)net was having some issues and not letting me or anyone for that matter log in. Making it hard to update.

Second. I don't know what to say but THANK YOU to each and everyone of you that reviewed on the last chapter. We reached the 500 review mark and it was refreshing to have Katie tell me that we did. It made me cry a little you guys. I'm flattered that I got so many reviews for the last chapter. That and the fact we hit the 500 review mark…that's just amazing. I don't know what to say but THANK YOU to each and everyone of you. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to review to your replies, because I had EVERY intention too, but you know ff(dot)net and it's issues...just know that I'm grateful for all of your love. :D

This chapter is dedicated to you guys. To all my readers…new and old. I write this for you guys (and well I guess to keep my sanity at times) I heart you all!

Oh! Details about my trip at the end! Let's get to the good stuff!


BPOV:

The bathroom door swung shut and I looked at Alice. She was fuming mad, and if it was possible her face would be red and steam would be coming out of her ears.

"You!" she said, pointing at Rosalie. "How dare you run off and get married without us?!"

"Alice really if you knew, you'd understand. I just, it's just, I-I-I can't." Rosalie attempted to explain. "What about Bella? She's the one running around having a secret love affair with Edward!"

"What?!" I exclaimed. "There is no way you're turning this on me. Don't forget just a month ago YOU were in the same predicament."

"She's got a point there, Rose, but still! Bella how could you run around with Edward behind our backs?" Alice spat.

"It kind of just happened. I mean, we're great together. He makes me happy." I sighed.

"Well, I'll be the first to say it…" Alice's frown turned into an evil smirk. "I told you so! I knew it! I knew there was something going on between you two. I just knew it!"

"Well, I'll be the first to say that I'm disappointed." Rosalie paused for a moment crossing her arms across her chest. She was upset. "I confided in you Bella about Emmett and you couldn't tell me. A simple 'hey Rose I'm dating Edward,' would've done, but no! Wait a minute though, how long have you and Edward been…well you and Edward? And what was Leilah talking about when she said used to?" Rosalie asked.

"Well, we've been dating for a few months now. For a few months we fell into this groove together. He would come over after he got off of work, we'd spend his days off together. The two of us lived in this bubble that no one would get into. To tell you the truth, Edward and I had a slight falling out a week or so ago. I freaked out because things were just too perfect. I broke things off. It's the reason why he's been working so many extra hours at the hospital, it's why he didn't spend Christmas with us. All is well now, though." I explained with a smile.

"Ah! This is too perfect!" Alice exclaimed clapping her hands.

"Whatever, I'm still not happ-" Rosalie stopped mid sentence as her hand flew over her mouth.

She looked like she was about to gag. She held a finger up motioning for us to wait one minute and quickly ran into a bathroom stall. To throw up I'm sure.

The toilet flushed and Rosalie groaned as she walked out of the stall. She hobbled over to the sink to rinse her mouth out and then turned around. I gave her a sympathetic smile.

"Rose, you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. It must've been something I ate." she started to rub her stomach, her hand lingering a little longer than usual. "I'm still not happy with you though." She spat rolling her eyes.

"Ohmygod! Are you pregnant?" Alice exclaimed throwing her arms up around Rosalie pulling her into a hug.

At this point Alice's back was towards me and all I could see was Rosalie looking at me for help. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Alice, why don't you let the poor girl go." I chuckled.

Alice sighed as she released Rosalie from her grip.

"So are you? Are you really pregnant?" Alice asked again. "You just have that pregnancy glow about you now that I think about it." she brought her finger up to her chin tapping it slowly looking Rosalie up and down.

"Well…" Rosalie trembled.

Alice let out a loud squeal and pulled Rosalie into another hug.

"Rose now our babies can grow up together and be best friends like us. Or maybe you'll have a little girl and our babies can get married. Ah!" Alice cried as she let go of Rosalie.

She then turned to me. "Better yet, Bella you need to have a baby too! This way our babies can be best friends. Rosalie you better have a little girl, so our babies can get married and then we'll all be related!"

"Oh no Alice keep your son and his private parts far, far away from my little girl." Rosalie protested wrapping her arms around her stomach protectively.

"Oh my son will be a ladies man, I just know it. It'll be your little girl who you'll have to keep away from him." Alice smirked. "Is that why you two decided to bite the bullet and get married, now?"

"Alice, don't do this..." I warned.

I knew Rosalie always dreamed of a huge lavish wedding, dressed in a designer gown, with her family and friends and two hundred other people she didn't know there. I also knew that Rosalie, being Rosalie, also wanted her baby to come into the world to a family, a complete family.

There were just some things that she had to sacrifice, her dream wedding being one.

"Oh come on Bella, don't be like that! Rosie knows I'm joking." Alice laughed.

I glanced over at Rosalie who was staring at me, lost, confused. She was nearly on the verge of tears.

"No it's alright, Bella." Rosalie stated taking a deep breath holding back the tears. She glanced over to Alice. "Of course it's the reason I, myself, went to Vegas over New Years Eve weekend. My whole life I've dreamt of this dream wedding. The kind my daddy owes me for all the shit he put my mother and I through."

"Rose…" I whispered taking her hand in mine.

"Emmett proposed on Christmas, it was his present to me. I brought up the idea of going to Vegas. I wanted to bring my baby into the world as a family. Not the crazy mixed up families you see on talk shows, not like my family growing up, but a perfect family. Well, as perfect as Emmett and I can make it." Rosalie sobbed.

I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze as she wiped the tears that fell down her cheeks.

"I didn't tell Emmett until after we were married. I took the chance of him getting upset, but at least I knew he wanted to marry me for me. Not because I was pregnant with his baby, because it was the right thing to do." Rosalie explained, as more tears started to run down her cheeks.

"Damned hormones." she said quickly wiping the tears from her eyes.

I glanced over at Alice who was on the verge of tears herself.

"Turns out, Emmett was ecstatic at the idea. He passed out, but once he came to, it was all he could talk about. I explained to him why I wanted to come to Vegas to get married so quickly and do you know what he told me? 'Oh Rosie, I promise you. I'll give you that dream wedding you've always dreamed about. This time around we'll celebrate it as a family, together.' I was afraid for nothing. I'm sorry that I got married without you two there by my side. Forgive me?" Rosalie sighed.

"Of course, Rosalie." I said.

"Only if you promise to have me at the next one." Alice exclaimed wiping a tear from her eye.

"Can we hug and make up now ladies?" I asked staring at my best friends.

"Of course! Come here, Bella!" Alice said as she held her arms out for me.

I gave her a hug and immediately turned to Rosalie.

"Come on Rosie. There's room for you." I chimed.

Rosalie sighed as she joined our group hug.

"Look at you two..." I quickly said pulling away from the hug. The sobs of my best friends echoed against the ceramic tiled walls. "You're both blubbering pregnant women."

"Yes but you love us nonetheless." Alice chuckled.

"So, Bella, tell us…" Rosalie smirked as she pulled out of the hug. "Is Edward any good? You know I always wondered about him, he plays the piano, he's a surgeon, he must have some pretty steady hands."

"Ew! Rose, stop that! That's my brother you're talking about!" Alice exclaimed.

"Guys, can we not talk about that." I blushed.

"Get over it Alice, think of it this way, your best friend is finally getting over her deceased husband and getting some. We had to sit and listen all about Jasper for the past couple years, the least you could do is give Bella her time to shine. I'll tell you Emmett does this amazing thing with his tongu-"

"Please! Rosalie no, stop right there!" I exclaimed shaking my head attempting to get the mental picture out of my head.

Rosalie just laughed.

"Alright, whatever. Need to know only, Bella." Alice sighed.

"Yeah come on now Bella, give us the details. Is Little Eddie really that little? And the hands, what about the hands? The boy has to be good at something!" Rosalie pleaded.

"Yeah, who's better? Jacob or my brother? You don't have to lie to us, Bella. I won't hold it against you if you say Jake. I always knew that boy could do some serious damage." Alice smirked.

I could feel the blood boiling up to my cheeks turning them different shades of red.

"Well-I- um-they-erm-he's-um…" I paused trying to come up with the word to describe the quintessence that is the love Edward and I share. Meanwhile trying to avoid the burning question of who was better. "…good?"

Good? That's all you could come up with Bella? Great, just great. You know Edward is ten thousands time better then great. Phenomenal is more like it, mind blowing. While Jacob…Well Jacob is in his own category.

"Good? That's all you have for us Bella? Really? You spend two years grieving over your late husband only to find comfort in the arms of your best friend. Whom might I add, you've always had this thing for. Whether you knew it or not, you two were somehow destined to be together." Alice said.

"I agree! Come on give us the juicy details, Bella. I would give you mine, but you refuse to hear all about the glorious things that come my way." Rosalie smirked.

"Yes please refrain from details, Rosalie. I don't need to know the things Emmett does to you with his tongue." I said.

"Whatever you're just jealous, Bella." she chuckled.

"Whatever Rosalie. I'm sure Emmett's tongue has nothing on the way Jasper's mouth when he-"

"Alice, please! No details! I beg of you!" I blushed.

I really was in no mood to hear about what went on behind closed doors at my best friend's houses.

"Well, we won't share details if you share yours." They said in unison, as they turned to each other and laughed.

"Well…" I stuttered.

"Come on, Bella! Just tell us, is my brother any good with his hands?" Alice giggled.

I paused for a second. As awkward as the situation was, it was refreshing. The three of us standing here in the bathroom talking about boys reminded me of all the times we spent in high school sleeping over at each other's houses doing the same exact thing.

"Edward is just…" I sighed.

"He's what?" Rosalie asked in anticipation.

"Dot, dot, dot." Alice added.

"He's amazing and refreshing. He's that fresh breath of air you need just before you reach the surface. When I'm with him I feel safe. He makes me feel whole, he's the missing piece in the puzzle, that I call my life. He's tender, loving. Always puts my needs before his. As for his hands, well, like I said he always puts my needs before his." I blushed.

Rosalie and Alice screamed.

"Ohmygod! Bella's in love! Ah!" Alice squealed in delight.

"Alice…" I sighed.

"Bella's in love, Bella's in love, Bella's in love…" Alice sang as she danced around the bathroom.

"Don't mind her, Bells. Is it true? You love him don't you?" Rosalie asked.

"With every fiber of my being. Like I said he makes me feel whole. I can't see my life without him. I thought what I had with Jacob was right, but I was wrong. The bond I share with Edward is perfect. With him I feel like I can finally have my happily ever after. " I admitted.

Alice stopped dancing and stared at me.

"You have to let me plan your wedding!" Alice gushed. "Since someone…" she quickly shot her head towards Rosalie giving her a dirty look. "…jumped the gun and did it without me. You have to let me plan your wedding, again."

"Alice, we're not even engaged yet."

"Yet." she smirked.

"Fine, do whatever you want. You did an amazing job with the first one. I wouldn't hire anyone else but you."

"Bella!" Alice cried as she waddled over to me and pulling me into a hug.

"Yeah don't mention it Alice." I mumbled.

"So, Bella?" Rosalie asked.

"Yeah?"

"You never told us…" Rosalie smirked.

"Yeah, tell us Bella. Who's a better lover? Who's the one with the magic touch? The one who can send you over the edge with his—" Alice asked before getting interrupted by Rosalie.

"…mind blowing sexual escapades. Who's better, Bella come on? Jacob, who I'm sure was man enough to handle what's under your hood or our dear Edward who would have no problem examining every inch of your body?" Rosalie said with a triumphant smile on her face.

"Guys!" I blushed. I was quite sure the color in my cheeks was a nice crimson.

"Bella, stop being absurd! Spill the beans! Dirty, sexy mechanic or doctor sex-me-up?" Alice asked.

"Doctorsexmeup." I mumbled under my breath.

This was embarrassing. Even more embarrassing than my bachelorette party where I woke up the next morning in Acapulco, Mexico with Alice and Rosalie, a massive hangover and no recollection of how we got there.

"What was that Bella? Speak up, we couldn't hear you." Rosalie said.

"Doctor sex-me-up." I sighed.

They squealed, yet again.

"So Bella…" Rosalie smirked.

"Do you let Dr. Cullen play doctor with you?" Alice added.

"Guys! Is this really necessary?" I exclaimed burying my head in my hands.

"Aw, Bella we're just giving you a hard time, hun." Alice comforted. "We just want to make sure you're thoroughly prepared for this. When two people love each other…"

"Alice! I know what happens when two people love each other. They share a special hug, do the horizontal tango, slide into home plate, whatever you want to call it. I'm not a rookie in the game." I chuckled.

Alice looked at Rosalie and smirked.

"Guys…" I pleaded.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry Bells. We'll stop." Rosalie smiled. "Just remember there's no rush to have kids, sweetie." She draped her arm around my shoulder. "You and Edward should think long and hard before making the decision to start a family together. There's no harm in wrappin' it up."

"Rosalie, really? No offense hun, but you're the wrong person to give me that talk. You're the one eloping off to Vegas because you didn't want to introduce your child into the world without a husband." I attempted to explain.

"Hey now, none of that!" Rosalie exclaimed.

"Sorry, Rosalie it was just too easy. Seriously, I know what I'm doing guys. Like I said, I'm not new to the game. I know the tricks of the trade. I have a beautiful daughter sitting outside as evidence to the fact that I know what I'm doing."

I looked at the two of them and we all started laughing. It was great to have the huge weight of my secret relationship with Edward lifted off my shoulders. I missed being able to talk to my best friends about this stuff, but you would never catch me admitting it.

There was a quick, sharp knock on the door.

"Um, are you ladies okay in there?" Jasper called from the opposite side of the bathroom door.

"Yes honey, we're just peachy keen!" Alice exclaimed as she flung the door open in excitement.

"That's good to hear. We heard screaming and got a little concerned." Jasper laughed as he placed his arm around Alice's shoulder and walked back to the table.

I sighed as I walked back out to the dining room to face the rest of my friends. When I got there Edward was smiling at my return. While Emmett was smirking, trying to contain himself.

"Everything okay, love?" Edward whispered as I sat down.

"Yes, it's fine now." I said as I placed my hand on his, which was resting on the table. He laced his fingers through mine, and for the first time in months everything was finally perfect.

Yes everything is fine now. I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter just as much as I enjoyed writing you. I really do appreciate all the love you guys give me.

As for my trip to Washington. :D Well, it was amazing…Forks is…small. Yes, I mean come on small town three thousand plus residents, it's small. It was surreal and I really had to contain my inner fangirl as we drove through town the first time. The folks there were really nice too! Went to the Forks High, the Hospital, Thriftway (actually purchased groceries at Thirftway), wandered around town. It was amazing. Then La Push…First Beach. Actually stayed at the Quileute Resort at First Beach. Yes, I stayed there for two nights. Went to bed and woke up to the sounds of the waves crashing along the shore of First Beach. The first time I step foot on the sand I squealed. I sat on a log for quite awhile just pondering. First Beach is amazing. It's one of my favorite places now…except…well, I learned that apparently the Quileutes don't believe in cell phone towers. The moment we turned down the street to La Push, my cell service slowly died and pretty much as soon as we hit the line…dead zone. It's peaceful I guess…but I was lost at night without my cell phone. It was tragic…sad…but let's just say I was pretty inspired.

If any of you EVER get the opportunity to visit Forks and La Push, do it! As a Twilight fan it's an amazing experience. I mean my boyfriend's dad was even impressed with La Push…go figure.

Okay enough of my Forks experience. If you want any more details or have questions feel free to PM. I'm all for conversation. :D

You know the drill guys…
