Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of the Twilight characters we all know and love. I'm not Stephenie Meyer, I'm just me…using Stephenie's charaters (btw…thank you stephenie!) I don't own the rights to the movie or any songs that might be mentioned. All I do own is some used tissues (because this is it guys), my iphone that I can't live without and about seven gdocs for my new story For Better For Worse.

Let's just...Let's just do this.

Bella's POV:

"So here's a toast to the bride and groom. Two people who I've seen through thick and thin. Two people who I've laughed with, cried with, told secrets to, kept secrets for. Two people whom I couldn't, we couldn't, ask for as better best friends. Two people who have jumped over some hurdles to get to where they are now. Two people who were too stupid to see through the friendship they had to realize they could've saved themselves some serious time and drama by dating each other a whole lot earlier. Two people who've had their share of ups and downs, ins and outs, but together got through them all. Two people who alone are great, but combined are an unstoppable force. Two people who-"

"Enough, Emmett! Wrap it up, man!" Jasper yelled from the opposite side of the circle we were all standing in. He was struggling balancing Liam asleep and resting on his hip with arm and his other arm holding up a glass of champagne. It was already so hard to believe that little Liam, in all his crazy blond curl glory, was already one.

"Shut, your face, Jasper, this is some serious stuff I'm talking about," Emmett yelled back.

"Anyways like I was saying…Two people whom make my life, our lives," he paused looking around the circle surrounding us. We were surrounded by our parents, and our best friends. The only people who truly matter in our lives, "-worth living for. So, here's a toast to the bride and groom," he raised his champagne flute up in the air, the rest of the group following suit. "Edward…Bella….here's to a lifetime of happiness, a lifetime of laughter and joy, and most importantly a lifetime of sweet, sweet lovin'."

I felt the blush rise in my cheeks as Emmett said the last part.

"To Edward and Bella," everyone said in unison as they raised their glasses and took a drink.

"To you, my love, may we blessed with a lifetime of sweet, sweet lovin'," Edward crooned into my ear from behind me as he clinked the rim of his glass with mine.

I giggled, the blush getting redder.

"Congratulations, Bella," Emmett said scooping me up into his arms in a tight bear hug.

"Thanks, Em, you gave a beautiful speech by the way."

"Even if Jasper interrupted me?"

"Even if Jasper interrupted you. Thank you." I pressed my lips to his cheek leaving a lipstick mark on his cheek. "Oh sorry, Emmett." I started to wipe it off with my thumb.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" Alice called out clinking the side of her glace with her fork getting everyone's attention. "As the Matron of Honor, I believe it's my turn."

She took the few steps towards Edward and I in the middle of the circle and smiled. I could see the tears brimming in her eyes already.

"Go ahead, sis," Edward whispered giving her a quick hug.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. It never fails. One Corinthians chapter thirteen, verses four to eight," Alice sighed, stealing a glance over at Rosalie and back to me. That was her favorite bible verse, our favorite bible verse. The three of us spent a week learning that verse back to front.

"Bella, Edward, you have no idea how long I've waited for this day. The bond the two of you share is something extraordinary. Edward, you picked Bella up when she was lost and alone in the dark. You showed her the way, you were her light at the end of the tunnel. You gave her something none of us could ever dream of giving her. That thing is love," Edward reached out wiping a tear from Alice's cheek.

Then she glanced over at me, grabbing my hand. "My Bella, I should be creeped out that you've gone and married my brother, you, my own best friend. Isn't that breaking some cardinal best friend rule?" I laughed. "None of that matters though. There's no one that fits Edward's life better than you, Bella. It's always been you, Bella, always."

She looked down and took Edward's hand and placed it in mine.

"Don't the two of you ever forget what you have, because it's something special. Love each other like it's the last day of your life. Treat each other with all the respect you can give. I love you both from the bottom of my heart, never ever forget that."

She turned back towards Carlisle who was holding her flute of champagne and took it in her hands raising it up in the air.

"To the bride and groom," she sniffed.

"To the bride and groom." The sounds of glasses clinking and laughs surrounded me.

Everything was perfect.

Edward and I were married, on a small private beach off the coast of Kauai at twilight, with only the people who really mattered in our lives around to witness.

There was my father, Charlie, who spent the entire evening whispering into Sue's ear. The two of them recently made a trip down to the court house. I had a new step mother and couldn't be happier.

Carlisle and Esme, who I would always see has my second parents no matter what, still looked at each other with all the love and devotion they could give.

Then, Rosalie and Emmett, who were busy running around after their little girl, Camilla Rose, who was now taking her first few steps all by herself at ten months, throwing in the occasional "momma" and "dada" that made Rosalie's heart melt. She was beautiful, with her mother's signature blond hair and her father's bouncy curls. They were finally that family, a loving, caring family that Rosalie always dreamed about.

Alice and Jasper were finally making a life for themselves. Construction on the house Jasper designed for Alice, a bit after Liam was born was completed a few weeks ago. We managed to move them completely in a few days before we had to leave for Hawaii.

And Leilah, my sweet Leilah Anne. She had her "daddy" and as she would say it, our family was complete.

The nine of them, plus Edward and I was all I needed today.

"What's got you thinking so hard and staring into space, love?" Edward asked taking the glass of champagne, setting it down on a table.

"Just thinking."

"Well, have I ever told you how beautiful you look when you're thinking?" Edward pressed a kiss to the side of my neck.

"No you haven't," I blushed.

"Well you do look beautiful."

"Thanks."

Just then "I Love The Way You Love Me" by John Michael Montgomery came out of the make shift speakers set up on the beach.

I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when your not there

"Shall we?" Edward asked motioning over to a patch of sand surrounded by votive candles.

"Let's," I responded placing my hand in his and he led me over. Pulling my body closer to his, a hand resting on my lower back we started to sway back and forth to the music.

I rested my head on his chest listening to his heart beat, watched as his chest rise and fall with every breath he took.

"And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh, and how you enjoy your two hour bath. And how you convinced me to dance in the rain with everyone watching like we were insane…" Edward sung softly along with the music.

"Excuse me?" Emmett said clearing his throat, ruining the moment I was having with Edward. I lifted my head up and looked over at Emmett. "May I cut in?"

"Of course," Edward smiled placing my hand in Emmett's.

"Hey, Bells," Emmett smirked as he twirled me around.

"Emmett."

"You look amazing tonight. I thought I'd let you know that."

"Thank you, Emmett," I blushed. "I can't thank you enough for being here, for that lovely speech you gave."

"I wouldn't have missed this for the world. You should know that," he paused giving my body a tight squeeze. "and I meant every word I said. You and Edward together are force to be reckoned with. I don't know what life would've been like if you weren't there."

"Em," I whispered a tear falling down my cheek.

"Come on now, Bells, none of that. Eddie would kill me if he knew I made you cry." Emmett wiped the tear off my cheek.

"You're the best, Emmett."

"I know."

"You're doing great with Cami," I said glancing over at Rosalie who cuddling with her daughter.

"Thanks, Bella. Being a father is something else, let me tell you," Emmett sighed glancing over at Rosalie flashing her a smile as she looked over at us.

"If it's anything like being a mother, I understand. Especially at the age Cami is at. They're discovering everything, it's amazing."

"Speaking of fathers, mind if the father of the bride steals his daughter away for a few seconds?" Charlie asked.

"She's all yours, pops," Emmett smiled twirling him into my father's arms. "Congratulations, Bella."

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely

I love the way you love me

"I'm proud of you, Bella," Charlie said as we awkwardly swayed in place our feet buried in the sand. "You've really come a long way."

"Thanks, Dad. It means a lot."

"I'm serious, Bell. You've done a great job making a life for yourself, for Leilah. You deserve to have your happily ever after. I couldn't be happier that it's with Edward. He'll take good care of you, and if it doesn't you just let me know and I'll..."

"Dad."

"I'm just looking out for you, Bella. You know that, but I trust Edward. He's a good kid. Congratulations Bella, I'm happy for you," Charlie said.

"Thanks, Dad, I love you."

"I love you too," he leaned down and kissed the crown of my head. "Looks like someone else wants a spin around the dance floor with the bride."

I turned around and saw Jasper standing there, a smile on his face, his hands buried into his pocket.

I like to imitate old Jerry Lee
And watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key
And I like the innocent way that you cry
At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times

"So, Bella, you're a married woman now," Jasper smirked as he took my hand placing it in his.

Oh no, I knew where this was going.

"Jasper please, spare me the talk. We've been through this already, remember?"

"Aw, spoil the fun, Bella, but I guess I'm glad you found somebody, again."

"Me too." My eyes wandered over to Edward who was currently dancing with Esme.

"You guys are great together you know that? Everything Emmett said was true."

"That's what he said."

"He does tend to tell the truth sometimes, Bella. I know it's hard to believe but, it's true."

"I don't think he would appreciate that comment, but I know. Liam looked adorable today." I looked over at Alice who had her feet propped up on a chair, Liam asleep against her chest. Her head was resting against his as her eyes drifted open and close.

"He did. I can't believe how much he's grown up in the past year, Bella. Where does time go?"

"It goes fast, let me tell you. It seems like only yesterday Leilah was saying her first word or taking her first step. Babies, they grow up fast. Cherish it while you still can."

"I'll remember that. You know Alice wants to have another baby," Jasper admitted with a twinkle in his eyes.

"She might've mentioned that once or twice."

"I wouldn't mind."

"Of course you wouldn't. That just means your wife is going to take advantage of you in attempts to make a baby. Of course you wouldn't mind. Besides, you have to fill all those rooms in that house of yours."

"Touché, Bella, but in actuality, I think it's amazing. The idea of creating a life and watching it grow. There's nothing like it," Jasper sighed.

"Mind if I dance with my wife again, Whitlock?" Edward asked from behind me.

"Be my guest, she is your wife."

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me.

I felt Edward's hands resting on my hips as he twirled me around facing him.

"Isabella," Edward crooned into my ear as my head was nuzzled against his chest, our bodies rocking back and forth to the music.

I hated it when he called me Isabella, in fact I hated it when anyone called me Isabella, but because we were here on Hawaii, on the beach with the waves crashing against the sand. The sun was still peeking over the horizon.

Everything was perfect.

"Yeah?" his body stopped as he brought his finger to my chin lifting it up so I was looking at him, his beautiful green eyes full of happiness and love.

"I..." his lips grazed my forehead, "love..." down to the tip of my nose, "you..." then his lips trailed down to mine, in a sweet, gentle 'I have the rest of my life to kiss you' kind of kiss, "Mrs. Cullen."

"And I love you, Mr. Cullen," I smirked.

And I could list a million things
I love to like about you
But they all come down to one reason
I could never live without you.

"I'll have you know that today, here with you, as my wife, is the happiest day in my life. There's nothing in the world that could make me happier than this moment right now," he said with smile as he began to twirl me around the dance floor again.

I looked up at him with a smile.

"I beg to differ, Edward."

"How so? Are you saying there's something out there than being able to call you mine forever? I don't think so, Bella."

"That's where you wrong, Edward, dead wrong."

"Oh and tell me my dear, Bella, what is it that's better than marrying me?"

"What's better than getting to spend the rest of my life with you?" I asked drawing out the anticipation of telling him the secret I've been keeping for a few days now.

"Yes, what's could be better than that?"

I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me
Oh baby I love the way you love me

"I'm pregnant," I admitted.

"Wait, what?" he stopped dancing abruptly.

"I'm pregnant, Edward, we're gonna have a baby. You're going to be a fath-"

"Bella," he exclaimed picking me up in his arms, twirling my body around in a circle. The satin material of my ivory dress whirling around us. "We're gonna have a baby!"

It was something I knew he was looking forward to, raising a family of his own. We had been trying for a few months now and it looked like all that trying paid off. Three days ago I found out I was about a month or so along.

Edward ran over to our table picking up a flute of champagne and a fork.

"Can I get everyone's attention?" he clinked the fork against the glass and everyone turned to look at him. "I want to be the first to tell you the great news that Bella just gave me. We're gonna have a baby!"

Amidst the "congratulations" and the "I can't believe you're pregnant again" life was perfect. There was nothing more I could hope for.

I had a father who gave up a whole lot for me, just so I could be happy. In laws I actually didn't mind, a group of friends whom my life would be lost without. They've seen me through thick and thin, especially within the past few years. A daughter, whom every time she smiled, reminded me of Jacob. There were times where I still missed him, missed his warmth, his touch, his laughter, but I knew he would want this. He would want me to move on, to be happy. He would be glad Edward is the one that would take his place.

Then there was Edward.

Alice described it perfectly. He was the light at the end of my tunnel, the hand the guided me through the dark. Edward and I found love within each other when we both needed it the most.

I had finally found my Happily Ever After.

*sniffs*

It's over, it really is over. I'm really sad to see this story end, but everything has to end at some point right? Before you ask, no…there is going to be no sequel…I repeat, I will not be writing a sequel to Nine Months. I will however be writing a few outtakes taking place in the future so you can see where everyone is in their lives. So you, the readers, can see the little bundle of joy that Edward and Bella will have. I'm gonna get working on the first outtake within the next couple weeks, so keep your eye out for that.

I'd like to say thank you to each and every one of you who have reviewed and continued with me through this journey, especially to the few of you who have been with me since day one.
