The day had started out so well yesterday before it all went to crap.

Waking up with Bella, being with Bella in that way again was like coming home. I would have been content to wake up and just hold her for a while but when I heard the little noises and moans she was making, my morning wood went into overdrive. Then she ground her ass back against me and all bets were off.

Once we were dressed and downstairs I couldn't wait for Carson to come home. I had missed my boy so much. And yes, I called him my boy, to me that's exactly what he is. I just have to make it legal.

When the door was knocked I sat in the living room, listening to Bella as she greeted our son. When he ran into the room and threw his arms around me I thought my heart would burst. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes.

"Hey buddy. Did you have fun with Rosalie and Emmett?" I asked him and felt him nodding into my neck.

"I missed you so much little man. Have you been a good boy for your mommy?" I asked him.

"Mmm hmm. I pway tars wiv Em. I miss you Ewa. Where did you go?" he murmured still snuggling his face into my neck.

"I missed you too. I was sick buddy. But I'm all better now and I'm never going to go away again okay?" I said my voice threatening to crack.

"Otay. We watch tars?" he asked.

"Sure buddy, we can watch Cars." I agreed.

I had tried to put him down but he clung to me so I ended up carrying him over to the TV to put the DVD on.

We had a great time at the park and when we first got to my parents we had a nice time catching up with everyone until we made our announcement. I still couldn't believe my mom. I understood where she was coming from but she knew I wouldn't jump into something without thinking it through completely.

I knew I would have to talk to her and try and straighten this thing out. I really didn't want my mother to miss my wedding. Then there was Charlie. I'm sure if they could, the smoke would have been billowing from his ears. I knew Bella was angry at him too.

I felt Bella move beside me, snuggling further into my side. I heard Carson start to chatter in his sleep over the monitor. It was a typical morning. In ten minutes Bella's alarm would go off. We had already decided I would take Carson to daycare before I headed into work.

I went downstairs and put the coffee on. I was going to need it today. I had barely slept. I headed upstairs and jumped in the shower. Just as I got out of the shower I heard the alarm clock go off. I went through to Bella's room.

"Hey, how long have you been up?" Bella asked me sleepily.

"Just long enough to make coffee, shower and listen to Carson mumbling about cookies." I laughed.

"Poor kid. Of everything he could get from he gets lumbered with my sleep talking. You okay?" she asked as she put her hand out for me.

I went over and sat on the bed beside her taking her hand in mine.

"I'll be fine. I'm just angry. Of everyone I thought my mom would be the one to be on our side. I know we went through a rough patch but we've moved on and learned from it. We're taking steps so that it doesn't happen again. I'd see her point of we were using the wedding as a way to make things better but we're not."

"I know. I can't believe my dad thought I was pregnant. I mean, I had the option to marry Jacob when he found out about Carson and I never took it so why would I choose to marry because I was pregnant now? I think we should give things a few days to calm down and try to talk to them. If they are still feeling the same way then I think we have to rethink our wedding plans."

"I agree."

So that's what we did. We waited until the following Saturday, asked Rosalie to look after Carson as she was at home working on stuff from there and Emmett was home. We headed to my parents first. I had already spoken to my dad who told me that he was one hundred percent behind us but had been unable to talk sense into my mother. He told me he'd make sure she was home this afternoon and that none of my siblings would be around.

We got inside just as my mom was coming out of the kitchen.

"Edward, Bella." she said and went into the living room leaving us standing there.

"Maybe this was a bad idea," Bella started.

"Bad idea or not we're here now. Let's just get it over with." I took her hand and we went into the living room sitting across from my mother.

"So, we thought we should come over and maybe talk about things. Like I said on Sunday, we will be getting married. I would really like you to be there, we both would."

"I understand that Edward but I just don't think I can be. I saw what you went through with that witch the first time. I know you aren't like her Bella, but I just see this ending the same way. You're going to be together anyway. I don't see why you can't just go ahead with the adoption and live together for a year and plan the wedding. Would it make that much of a difference?" she asked.

"To us, yes it would. Why wait a year when we know that we're going to do this anyway. It's not like anything is going to change. You were so happy when we got together and when we patched things up. Why can't you be happy for us to get married?" I asked her.

"I think that you two are rushing into this for all the wrong reasons. I think that you are doing this to prove to yourselves that things are better between you. I think that if you go ahead with this wedding it will end in tears a few months down the line and instead of being happy you will both be heartbroken and I can't sit back and watch that happen without voicing my opinion. What kind of mother would I be if I did that?" she asked with tears in her eyes.

"With all due respect Esme I don't agree with that. At all. I'd see your point if we had just agreed to be married but we've been engaged since December. We got engaged the day after Carson and I were kidnapped. This has been in the works for a couple of months. We had agreed to the end of April to allow for Edward's divorce to be finalized but with that done we are free to go ahead sooner than we thought.

I understand that you think we're rushing and you are entitled to your opinion but at the end of the day you have to figure out whether you're opinion means more to you than seeing your son get married and the repercussions on your relationship with him if you don't." Bella said quietly.

And she was right. I hated to admit it but I really didn't think that my relationship with my mom would ever be the same if she didn't come.

"Well I guess that will be my cross to bear. I'll think about, really I will, but at this moment in time I just don't think I can do it. I'm sorry. I love you both, so much but I just don't think I can." my mom answered in tears.

I stood then to leave.

"I sincerely hope you'll change your mind. We will let you know the details and we hope you will come." I said quietly and we left.

Bella drove to her fathers and neither of us spoke. I guess we had figured that once things had settled my mom would've came around but clearly that wasn't the case.

We walked into Charlies to find him watching TV.

"Hey kids. What's up?" he asked.

"What's up? You haven't spoken to me in a week, after you accused me of being pregnant, and you ask what's up? Are you kidding me right now?" Bella was mad.

"I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you. I've been pulling doubles most of the week to cover sick days. I'm also sorry I accused you of being pregnant. I was just shocked that you two were getting hitched so quickly. I know you and I know that if you think you're doing best by you and the boy then I will support you." he shrugged.

"You mean to tell me I've been worrying about your reaction to all this for almost a week and you're fine with it? I really don't know what to do with you sometimes!" she shook her head.

"You didn't think to call Charlie?" I asked.

"I meant to on Monday but then I got called in early. I've only been home long enough to sleep, shower and eat in between shifts until this morning. I'm actually not too long out of bed. I was going to drop by tonight. I wanted to give you something." he got up and went upstairs.

Bella and I just looked at each other and laughed.

"Can you believe him? You'd think he could've sent a text or something!" Bella exclaimed.

Charlie came back downstairs with two envelopes and a box in his hand.

"Okay so I wondered if you'd consider wearing these on your wedding day." he passed Bella the box.

"Are these gamma's?" she asked quietly.

The box she had opened contained two hair slide things with what looked like sapphires

"Yeah. She always said you were to have them for your wedding day. She said something about if you didn't want to wear them you could get them fitted into your bouquet or something." he smiled softly at her.

We left Charlies a little while later. Bella and Charlie had gone into the kitchen so she could check his freezer and when she came back she put the two envelopes into her purse.

We headed to Rosalie's to pick up Carson. Once we had him and all his stuff in the car Rose and Emmett both came out.

"Did you have any luck with mom?" Em asked as he made faces at Carson through the car window.

"No. She basically said that she loved but she couldn't sit there and watch us make what she considers a mistake."

"Sorry man. I think she'll come around when she sees you two aren't backing down. Where are you going to have the wedding if she won't change her mind?" he asked.

"We don't know yet. We'll have to figure some stuff out." Bella answered.

"Well when you do we definitely want to be there. If we can help with anything just ask. We're both here for you guys. And just a heads up, Alice was saying that her and Jasper are going to come and see you guys. I think she wants to let you know she's not taking Esme's side in this." Rosalie spoke up.

"Thanks guys. We really appreciate it. Once we get it sorted we'll let you know. You two want to do something next weekend?" Bella asked.

"Sure. I'll pop into the bakery during the week and we can make plans." Rosalie hugged Bella then myself.

"We'll see you soon." Emmett said as he hugged Bella.

We got in the car and headed home. Once we had Carson bathed and in bed we sat down in the living room with the computer looking up places online.

"There is nowhere near here I would want to get married." Bella groaned.

"What if we went away somewhere? We maybe wouldn't have as many people there but we could have a reception when we get back here."

"That sounds wonderful but I don't want to ask for any more time off. Luciana was great when everything happened with Emily. I don't want her to think I'm taking advantage."

"How invested in where we get married are you?" I asked.

"As long as it's somewhere nice I don't mind. Why?" she asked.

"Would you let me organise that side of things? I have more time on my hands than you do and I don't want you getting stressed over it. I could surprise you." I grinned.

I already had a plan taking shape in my head.

"Um sure. As long as it's nowhere over the top. Or tacky. Or-"

"I promise you will have the most beautiful wedding. I have one condition. You let Alice and Rosalie design your gown. I will speak to Alice and tell her to control herself and make sure Rose is there for all your fittings but I think it would mean a lot to them to let them do that for you."

"Okay. But if she crazy I am marching to the nearest bridal boutique and buying the fugliest dress I can just to annoy her." she huffed.

"Okay."

We went to bed soon after that but I couldn't get my mind to shut off. I needed to speak to Luciana first and foremost. After that I would enlist Rose and her to help me with everything. I'd also need to speak to Billy Black and hope that he would agree to what I had in mind.

The next morning I called the bakery. Maggie answered the phone luckily and didn't recognize my voice.

"Luciana speaking?" she purred into the phone.

"Hi Luciana, it's Edward Cullen."

"Well hi handsome. Are you not speaking to the wrong baker?" she teased.

"No, I needed to talk to you. Bella's not around is she?" I asked.

"Um, no, she's gone out on a delivery with Leah. Is everything okay?" she sounded concerned.

"Everything's fine. I just wanted to ask you a favour."

I hoped that everything would go to plan.
