I was woken up a few hours later when we reached Seattle. We went to the top of the space needle and took pictures; lot's of pictures. I think there were three cameras trying to capture every moment and every couple. Alice was in charge of candid shots since she knew what was going to happen. We went to the fish market as well, just for the experience and once again we were on the road. Esme had stocked the R.V. with food so we wouldn't have to stop, except for gas, until the evening when my dad and I needed a hotel to freshen up and sleep on a real bed. Emmet was the next driver and I knew that he avoided Vegas on purpose. We were headed for Wisconsin, Esme's human home. Along the way, we posed in front of Mount Rushmore and any every little attraction along the way. I was having a blast and I knew that my dad was too. We played games in between stops and enforced the no cheating rule.

With all the stops it took us four days to get to Esme's home. We still had a week before we had to be in Chicago. She stalled as much as she could and even visited the cemetery where her infant son is buried. We gave her time to grieve for him. She showed us the cliffs that she jumped from and Rosalie took us north to Door County, a tourist trap. We stopped in Green Bay as well. We got to Chicago three days early and spent as much time in the city as we could; going to all of the museums and walking along the beach. I wasn't sure, but it might have been his first time at the beach; that he could remember. He looked so happy. We saw the hospital that Carlisle met him and we went to the cemetery to visit his parent's graves. I knew that he was suspicious that all of us seemed to delay our departure from his human home. That's when Rosalie drove to his neighborhood.

"This is your surprise, a day early. Rosalie and Emmet restored your human home and found some of your belongings that have been in storage for the last seventy years. Happy birthday." I whispered and he crushed me to him. I distantly heard the click of a camera, but paid it no attention. I could feel his shoulders shaking in the vampire version of crying. I held him tight.

"Thank you." He whispered it so quietly, that I barely heard it. He looked into my eyes and gave me a searing kiss. He turned to the rest of his family.

"Thank you all for helping Bella to surprise me with such a wonderful gift." He took my hand and whispered something to them before leading me inside.

"What did you say to them?"

"I asked them to give me a moment with you. I want to show you around without them." I smiled. He showed me as much as he remembered and collected a few more memories. He was finally able to reconcile his human life with his vampire life. He showed me his human room.

"You're the first girl that has ever been in my room; besides my mother, that is."

"I'm so honored."

"The same statement applies in Washington as well. You're the only girl I would ever want to bring into my bedroom." I blushed and that's when he kissed me.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" I asked and pointed to his old bed.

"Now it's my turn to be honored." He went to the door, only to find Alice standing there with my things.

"I'll be by early in the morning to get you." I nodded, knowing that tomorrow was the other surprise. I pulled Edward back into the room with me. He turned his back while I was changing and then held me as I slept on his bed.

Edward was gone when Alice woke me.

"Where's Edward?"

"He's out hunting He'll be back in time. He knew I was coming to get you and will go straight to the hotel. As soon as he left, Esme and I started to set up the rest of the house, but now it's time to get you ready. Rosalie is making sure your dad is groomed and looking debonair." She whisked me in her arms, apparently not having any time for me to walk down the stairs on my own. Ten minutes later, we were in her hotel room. I had eaten in a rush and then pushed into the shower. I knew when Edward came back because he was knocking insistently on Alice's door.

"Yes?" Alice called, though made no move to open the door.

"I want Bella; send her out before I break the door." I put my finger to my lips and stood up.

"I'm letting Alice play Bella Barbie. Go hang with the guys and I will see you later. Trust me, even if you don't trust them." I smiled at the very end, knowing what was going to happen. As soon as he left, my mom knocked on the door. I eagerly hugged her and was informed that Phil was getting ready in their room. I loved that she was able to make it. I reminded her not to think of the wedding. She agreed and started telling me all about the new house in Jacksonville.

What the hell is going on with everyone? There is no way that Bella volunteered to be Alice's life size Barbie doll; Bella hates it when Alice does that. I was so lost in my thoughts of Bella's very cryptic comments that I never heard the approach and by the time I realized I was under siege, it was too late. My head was covered and Emmet's strong arms surrounded me, and I had no chance of escape. They carted me off to one of their rooms, I couldn't quite tell with the cloth over my face.

"Bella said to trust her. We're going to change our clothes, we don't want to, but she asked us to. She said it's the second part of her surprise." Jasper said. I had no choice but to comply since Emmet was holding me still and I felt a third set of hands; I'm assuming they belonged to Carlisle. I was defenseless and the only thing that I could actually do, wasn't working. I tried to sink into their brains and they were all thinking the same thing; trust in Bella. I heard when Charlie joined due to his heartbeat and he was thinking about fish.

"Is he ready? Bella wants to know."

"We're just about finished if you want to tell her." I felt myself being led out of the room and down the hallway. I figured I was being led away from Bella because her voice was getting softer. I wondered who she was talking to. A hand was placed on my head and I was told to sit in the car. Emmet and Jasper maintained a firm grip on me so that I wouldn't remove the fabric covering my face. The three of us drove away, but it was a short trip. After that, we sat in the car for a while.

"What is going on?" I asked.

"Trust Bella." Jasper said exactly what had been running nonstop through his had for ten minutes now.

"How long are we going to wait here?"

"Until she tells us that it's time to move you. It shouldn't be long." Emmet said. I sighed and had no choice but to wait for my love to arrive.

Alice had just put the finishing touches on and the rest of the women helped me get my dress on. Carlisle, my dad and Phil came into the room after I was proclaimed ready. We took a few pictures and headed off for the limo that had been rented.

"Edward is going insane." Carlisle reported to me.

"He'll get over his frustration as soon as he's seen what we went through for him." I said confidently. I saw Edward, Jasper and Emmet sitting in the car waiting for me and suddenly my nerves got the best of me. Jasper sped from the car and came over to calm me down.

"It's alright Bella. Edward will love it. He's extremely frustrated right now, but trusting of you. He loves you Bella. We all do." He calmed me down and sent a boost of confidence my way. All of us walked inside and I waited until I had been told that Edward was ready.

Finally it was time to move from the car. Emmet guided me forward and I felt it when Carlisle took over for him.

"If you take this off before she does, she will be hurt and then I will hurt you. She went through a lot for this and she deserves to be the first one to see you." I was shocked. Carlisle had never, ever threatened me before. I nodded and kept my hands at my side. Soft music was playing and curiosity was really getting the better of me. I was told to stand still and so I did; trusting Bella completely. I knew as soon as Bella entered the room, though nobody was actively thinking of her so I couldn't sink into anyone's head. I heard the camera clicking away and then she was in front of me. I felt the heat from her body.

"Go ahead Carlisle." The cloth was removed and I gasped at the vision in front of me. She was breathtakingly beautiful. I spent a whole second looking at everything around me. I was in a simple tuxedo and she was…and we were…oh, this is the best birthday present I could ever ask for.

"Do you like your surprise?" She whispered.

"I love it. I love you, too. How did you do it?"

"I'll tell you later. It's time to get married now." She smiled so lovingly at me. Charlie kissed her cheek and then placed her hand in mine. We repeated the vows as directed and I took great joy in sliding the ring on her finger. I felt complete when she slid a ring onto mine. I kissed her when told to and silently rejoiced in the fact that she was now my wife. Carlisle tapped me on the shoulder.

"Save it for later; we have a reception to get to." I was sure that I was driving Jasper to the brink with all the emotions I was feeling at the moment, but he smiled at me and thought,

'Edward, I've never felt you as happy as you are in this moment. Live for her as she lives for you. She loves you and when she asked us to help her, we were all too happy to do our parts. I love you brother.' I smiled and nodded. There were a lot of pictures taken that day. I have actually lost count on how many memory card we've filled up so far on this trip. Tomorrow, before we left, Alice mentioned getting pictures printed up so we could empty and refill the cards. She was planning to make a special wedding album to give to Bella at Christmas. I walked her down the aisle and out to the limo. Everyone else rode in the other car and I spent the all too short ride enjoying the taste of Bella's soft, sweet lips.

"How did you do all of this?"

"It will be explained at the reception." She assured me. I looked out the window and saw my house again. The driver opened the door and I climbed out before turning to help her. Everyone was already here, and I saw that in a few hours, the house had been revamped to hold a small party. I courageously swallowed my piece of cake since Bella's mother and step-father were here. My family, at my soft command, had also partaken of dinner. I said in a voice too soft and too fast for human ears that Renee was watching us. They kept her and Phil supplied with alcohol. Bella finally stood up and called for everyone's attention; something that she hates.

"Edward, a few months ago; just after we got back together from our disagreement," I heard a few coughs calling me an asshole, but I knew she was speaking in code because of her mother and Phil.

"I spoke with Esme and Alice and told them I wanted to surprise you with a wedding on your birthday in your hometown. The road trip was a cover up. Rosalie and Emmet were on a plane the next day and scoped out s much information as they could find. It helped that I was pumping you for information about your family and that was the greatest help to them. They booked the church and made some repairs to your home before coming back to Washington." I know there is more to the edited version she was giving me.

"Obviously Alice and I were in charge of the clothes; a job I fully relinquish back to you my new sister." Alice beamed with pride.

"Emmet and Jasper were in charge of getting you here without tipping you off. Carlisle and Esme took care of the smaller, but still important aspects like the priest, the flowers, our wonderful dinner, the music, and photography. My dad had the toughest job of all, walking me toward my destiny. I love you Edward and I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you." She leaned down to kiss me and if I could cry, I would be bawling right now. It was my turn.

"Charlie, first off I want to thank you for giving me your most precious gift, Bella. I will cherish her until my last breath. I also want to thank the rest of you for helping Bella give me the best birthday I have ever had. I will remember it for the rest of my existence. I love you Bella, thank you most of all for marrying me." I pulled her up and kissed her to the cheers of my family.
