BPOV

I was wakened the next morning with something tickling my thigh. I went to move when I felt my sweats and panties getting pulled down. I lifted my head to see Edward between my thighs.

"What are you-"

Before I got a chance to finish the sentence he swiped his tongue from my entrance to my clit.

"Edward" I moaned.

He began sucking on my clit and I gripped his hair in between my fingers. It was a very good morning indeed.

He kissed my clit and then moved up my body as he teased my entrance with his fingers.

"Edward, I need you inside me," I panted.

"Patience baby," he chuckled then bent down and kissed me thrusting his tongue in my mouth.

He moved his fingers in and out of me until I could see stars. I hadn't even came down from my high when he thrust himself into me.

As soon as he was all the way in he stopped and gazed into my eyes.

"Now I feel like I'm home," he whispered and kissed me gently.

He began to move deeply but slowly as he made love to me. He lifted my leg up over his hip and gripped my thigh as he moved his hips into mine.

"Baby, I have missed you, this so much. I can't wait until you become my wife. Until you're Mrs Cullen," he purred in my ear.

"I can't wait either," I groaned as I felt myself about to come again.

"Fuck Edward, I can't wait until you're my husband. Oh, god I'm going to come," I growled.

"Wait for me baby," he panted as he picked up his speed pushing us both over the edge.

Afterwards we lay there, still joined, for a while just enjoying being together again. Eventually reality crashed in when Rosalie called.

"Is it safe to come over there?" she asked.

"Yes. We're just getting up now."

"Really? We? I take it you to sorted things out?" she asked as Edward fumbled around beside me.

Before I got a chance to answer he slipped my ring back onto my finger and then kissed it.

"You could say that. Are you and Em going to Esme's for dinner?" I asked.

"We sure are. Are you two?"

"Yup. I'll go now and get in the shower. Can you give me ten minutes before you come over?"

"Sure no problem. See you soon."

"We need to get up. Our boy is coming home." I said to Edward with a grin on my face.

"Yeah about that, I've been thinking. Where are we going to live once we're married?"

"Um, I'm not sure. I never dared think about it. Where do you want to live?" I asked him.

"I was thinking we could maybe move into my place. I love this place but we would have more room over there and I haven't decorated or anything so we could do that together. The back yard is fenced in so we wouldn't have to worry about Carson getting out. If that's not okay though we could" I cut him off with a kiss.

"I'd love to move into your place. Maybe next weekend we can go look at some stuff. Now we have to get ready before the terror is home. Do you want to maybe take him to the park or something?" I asked as I stood from the bed.

"Sounds great. Let's shower together. Save water." he wiggled his eyebrows.

We made it downstairs just before Rosalie arrived with Carson. The minute he came in the door he gave me a big hug.

"Hey sweet boy, did you miss me?" he nodded and snuggled into my neck.

"Why don't you go through to the living room. There's a surprise for you." I set him down and he took off but paused when he got to the door.

"Ewa!" he screamed and ran across to launch himself at Edward.

"Hey buddy. Did you have fun with Rosalie and Emmett?" he asked, his voice sounding choked.

Carson nodded but didn't separate his face from Edwards neck. They stayed like that, hugging each other and talking softly as Rose and I made out way to the kitchen. I couldn't keep the grin from my face.

"So things are good?" she asked.

"Yeah. We talked last night and obviously everything won't just go back to normal but we are back together. I've agreed to talk to someone, a therapist. I think if I was my normal self I'd have dealt with things a lot better but what with the kidnapping and my mom, Jake was just the last straw. I'm going to ask Carlisle for a recommendation." I realised then I still had my ring on.

I quickly slipped it off and turned to pour out some coffee, putting the ring behind the machine.

"I'm happy for you two. I'll go and get out of your hair. I'll see you guys at dinner?" she asked.

"Definitely. We;re going to go to the park with Carson and then we'll head over."

"Okay I'll see you later." she hugged me and left.

I decided to call Charlie before I made breakfast.

"Hey dad,"

"Hey honey. How you holding up today?" he asked with a concerned tone.

"I'm great. Edward's here. We've talked things over and we're back together." I said in a rush.

"I'm glad honey. He's good for you two."

"He is. So I was wondering if you could come to the Cullens for dinner tonight."

"Um, sure yeah. Is that okay with Esme?" I realised we hadn't called to check.

"Sure. See you over there around five?" I asked.

"Sure sure. See you then kiddo."

After I hung up I went through to the living room. Edward and Carson were playing with his stuffed Nemo, Cars playing in the background.

"I called my dad. I asked him to dinner at your parents then realised we haven't asked your mom." I said as I went and sat on the floor beside them.

"It'll be fine. I'll call her now. You want to go out for breakfast?" he asked.

"Sure. I'll go get ready to go."

I packed some stuff in a bag for Carson and put a little make up on. I threw a sweater over the tank and jeans I had on and slipped into my Uggs. I went back downstairs and found Edward and Carson ready to go. Luckily Edward had some stuff here in the guest room closet. We went to the diner for breakfast and then spent couple of hours at the park. We headed to his parents around four. As soon as we got out of the car Esme was there.

"Hey guys. Bella it's so good to see you. I've missed you two!" she cried as she pulled me into a hug.

"Mom!" Edward groaned.

"Oh hush you. So what have you guys been up to today? Let me see my little man!" she grabbed Carson up.

"Eme! I swing and go down swide wif Ewa!" he told her excitedly.

"You did? Was it fun?" she asked as they headed for the house.

"Come on baby. Let's get inside out of the cold."

We got inside and took off our coats before heading to the living room. Alice and Jasper were already here. I got one look at her before she stood and stomped away out of the living room. I decided to follow her and that was how I found myself in the backyard with no jacket.

"Look Alice, I know I majorly fucked up. I hurt Edward and for that I am sorry. I'm also sorry for keeping you all out. I was just dealing with a lot of stuff, or rather not dealing with it and it got to be too much. I know you hate me right now but Edward needs your support. Can you at least be there for him even if you don't want to be for me?" I asked.

"Don't you get it? It's not that I don't want to be there for you. You didn't let me, us. Edward has been like a zombie for the past few weeks all because of you. I don't know why or what happened but you didn't just leave him, you left all of us. I know you think I'm over the top and don't agree with the things that I do but I still thought we were friends. Friends don't just leave Bella."

I'm sorry Alice. I didn't mean to act the way I did. I was just hurting and I didn't know how to deal with everything. I'm actually going to see someone about all the shit going on in my head. I know I didn't handle things how I should have but I can't take that back. All I can do is try to fix things and move on."

"And how do I know you're not just going to bail again?" she asked.

I looked at her and saw a sadness in her face.

"Because I can't. I wasn't living without Edward I was just going through the motions for Carson's sake. I'm so sorry Alice. I don't know how but I will make it up to you, to all of you." I said honestly.

"I can't say I'll just go back to normal but I'll try. If you ever do this again Bella" she threatened.

She came over and hugged me.

"Alice, can we go inside now? I'm freezing my ass off" I joked.

She giggled and we went back inside. Before long my dad arrived and we sat down to dinner. When we were almost done I felt Edward take my hand under the table and slip my ring on. Then he cleared his throat.

"So Bella and I have an announcement. We've decided that we're getting married and I'm going to adopt Carson."

For a second there was complete silence and then chaos. Alice and Esme squealed, Charlie and Carlisle just smiled at us, Emmett choked on his food and Rosalie was smacking him on the back.

"Oh, Bella I'm so excited, I can't wait to plan the wedding. We'll have it in the summer maybe at the Fairmont. Oh! I can just picture the gown I'm going to make you it'll be amazing and-"

"Alice!" Edward cut her off.

"I can't help it Edward I'm so excited!" she bounced in her seat clapping her hands.

"There's no need. Bella and I will be planning it ourselves. We've already decided what we want."

"But, mooom!" she whined at Esme.

She rolled her eyes.

"Edward, surely you realise how much work goes into planning out a wedding. You guys might need the help," she answered as Alice nodded her head quickly.

"IF we do we'll ask for it. We've kind of figured things out already. We just have to get the ball rolling so to speak."

"Okay. What have you decided so far?" Esme asked.

"We want to get married here in the backyard, if that's okay. We'll use the marquee and hire heaters. We're going to ask Luciana to do the cake and Leah to decorate. I know the caterer I want to use, we work with them sometimes at the bakery. We thought we would get a notary to marry us, we don't want anything religious." I finished off.

I could see Alice going redder and redder.

"Where is everyone going to fit in a marquee? I mean you have the family, friends, work colleagues, family friends. Then there are people the rest of us have to invite. There are far too many for a marquee. We'll just book the ballroom at the Fairmont in Seattle. We'll hire the company who decorated for Emmett and Rosalie's wedding to organise the décor and the flowers. It'll be fine." Alice spoke as though to herself.

"Alice, this is not about you or what you want. That is what your wedding day is for. We're not inviting that many people and it will be family and friends only." Edward said firmly.

"But what about the people from your old company in Seattle? They'll expect to be invited then there's dad's colleagues from the hospital, people that mom work's with. You can't just say to them no you're not invited. It's rude and not what's done." she huffed.

Carlisle spoke up then.

"I think we all have to remember that this is Edward and Bella's day. They can ask who they want. Personally I see enough of people from the hospital when I'm there. I'd rather not spend my time off with them."

Alice shot him a disgusted look.

"Mom, you can't honestly agree with this!" she whined.

"Alice, how would you like it if I told you I was organizing your wedding the way I wanted and inviting who I thought should attend?" she asked with a knowing look.

"But, Fine! So who are the exclusive few invited to this so-called wedding?" she rolled her eyes.

"We've still to decide on a guest list. Probably you guys here, Sue and Seth, everyone from the bakery, Angela and Ben and my aunt and uncle. I probably will have to invite my mother. Who do you want there?" I asked Edward.

"On top of everyone you just said a couple of the guys from Seattle and my aunt, uncle and cousins. No-one else I can think off." he smiled.

"Okay so when are you two thinking of?" Esme asked as she began to gather up the dishes.

"Um, February twenty sixth." I mumbled.

"That's good. It gives you just over a year to plan everything." Esme replied smiling at us.

"No Esme, this February." I answered.

"Are you pregnant Isabella?" my fathers voice came across the table.

"No! Why the hell would you ask that?" I asked angrily.

"It's all a bit sudden don't you think?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Why wait? It's what we both want. We're not asking any of you to do anything besides be there on the day." I shrugged.

Edward took my hand under the table.

"Look Charlie, we just want to start our life together. We are going to decorate and then move into my house, once Jacob has done what he has to I will be adopting Carson. We don't see why we should wait to get started on all of that."

"I understand that son, but what will people say? I mean it's one thing to get married quickly but in four weeks? People will wonder what the rush is and the most likely story will be a pregnancy. It would be better to wait until next year." Esme spoke up.

"So basically we shouldn't do what we want to do because the village idiots of Forks will talk? I don't think so. I won't let other people's reactions dictate what we do with our relationship." Edward said firmly.

"See sense Edward! Surely even you know that this is too soon after all that's gone on in the past few weeks! I think you two are making a huge mistake of rushing into this and it will only end badly making that little boy the victim in all of this. Are you not even thinking of your son?" Esme cried looking at me.

That was the biggest mistake she could ever have made.

"Carson is always my first priority. If I didn't think this was best for all of us I wouldn't have agreed to it. If you aren't happy, you don't have to be there. We will be married elsewhere." I answered coldly.

"I never said I didn't want to be there. I just think it's silly to be rushing into this I mean Edward already has one failed marriage behind him, you're a single mom. It doesn't bode well to be diving head first into a marriage when you just fixed things again" she answered angrily.

"It's nice to know what you really think mom. I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment. I think it's time we go before anything else is said." Edward said quietly and stood.

I walked around the table and lifted Carson getting a sad smile from Rosalie.

"Edward, son, please sit down." Carlisle pleaded.

"I'm sorry dad. It's best if we go. I'll talk to you soon." he lifted Carson, took my hand and led me out of the house.

When we got home we never spoke as we put Carson to bed. When we got to bed Edward pulled me close to him and lay his head on my chest.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too baby. I just hate that our parents aren't happy for us. Hopefully they'll come around."

"And if they don't?" he asked.

"Well then our small wedding just got smaller." I sighed and hugged him close as I stroked his hair until he was asleep.
