APOV

After graduation, Bella and I started planning the wedding. She was excited about this, and I was glad. She decided on the color scheme navy blue, royal blue, and silver. She asked Rose and me to be Matrons of Honor. Rose had warmed up to Bella a little, but I think she was hoping this would soften her up even more. Nothing worked more on Rose than appealing to her vanity. Being up there in front of everyone would definitely do that. Angela was going to be her bridesmaid.

Edward had asked Carlisle to be his best man, and Jasper and Emmett were to be his groomsmen. Ben had agreed to be an usher; and after a quick call to her mother, Phil had agreed to be an usher as well.

The wedding planning was going very well. Bella was not a Bridezilla at all; in fact, she was very easy to please, as long as I didn't try to pick out anything too fancy and frilly. Bella liked to keep things simple and elegant. But with my physic abilities, I knew exactly what we were looking for.

Bella and I were the only ones to know what her dress looked like. The fewer people to know, the less likely it would be for Edward to accidentally see it. I had sketched it out for her, and she loved it. It was going to be a Grecian design. It was white with a lace overlay of cream and silver. It had thin lacy straps and an intricate design of flowers and beading under the bust where it formed an inverted V. The skirt was floor length with a small train. Her shoes were a simple, kitten heeled, satin sandal. We wouldn't want the bride tripping down the stairs on her big day. We were having the dress created, by an up and coming designer in Seattle. Bella was very patient with all of her fittings.

The bridesmaids' dresses I saw were absolutely exquisite! They were a dark royal blue; the bodice was fitted and ruched. The skirt flowed out slightly at the hips and was ankle length. The top of the dress was embellished with beads and rhinestones, and the straps were encrusted with beads as well. In the middle of the bodice was a diamond shaped area with the same embellishment of beads and rhinestones. Our shoes were silver with four inch heels and an elaborate rhinestone broach near the open toe.

We were having the same designer sew our dresses and the guys' tuxes as well. We made that man very happy when we came in with our sketches and credit card. He said he was going to have to hire extra people to get this done on time.

Edward was going to be in a navy blue, two button, notch tuxedo with a satin lapel and a silver vest with five buttons, a satin lapel, and a silver bow-tie. The best man and groomsmen and Ben were going to be in a silver, two button, notch tux, with plain lapels, a four button vest, and a tie with silver and royal blue stripes that matched our dresses. Since Charlie would most likely not rent a tux on his own, Bella got him to get a tux with the rest of the guys. His tux was black, three button notch, with satin lapels. The vest was high with six buttons and silver with a tie to match. All the guys were wearing black patent leather shoes from Johnston and Murphy.

Since Renee and Phil lived in Florida, they were going to get their clothes down there. I sent Phil a picture of what his tux should look like, and he assured me he would take care of it. I was a little nervous because I saw Renee straying from what I told them. Then, the vision would change, and things would be okay. If I didn't know any better, I would say Renee was disrupting my visions on purpose. Again. I had no idea what type of dress Renee was going to pick out; she would flit from one decision to the next. I was getting frustrated.

"Get used to it sweetie!" Bella said as she laughed at me.

"This is typical Renee. She is very flighty and never can make up her mind. I would not be surprised if she showed up in a swan dress like that Icelandic singer Bjork at the 2001 Oscars," she said.

I gave a delicate shudder at that thought and stuck my tongue out at my soon to be sister. She better not show up at this wedding wearing a swan! Knowing her, she would think it would be a show of mourning to her daughter getting married so young.

With Esme, I had nothing to worry about when it came to her dress. It was a simple, but beautiful design by Tadashi. It had a ruched bodice that formed an inverted V at the hip. It had a deep V neckline with jeweled accents running down the middle to the top of the V at the waist. The gown was floor length and was tropical bluish green in color. Her shoes were white, peep toe, platform heels. They had rhinestones encrusted on the heel and platform. She looked beautiful as always.

It was a typical rainy day in Forks, and I had just gotten back from mailing the invitations. We were winding down on having everything ordered for the wedding. Bella was relaxing on the couch with Edward watching a movie with the rest of the family, when I walked in. I walked over to Jasper sitting in one of the fluffy white chairs and plopped down on his lap. I gave him a chaste kiss on the lips.

"Hey handsome!" I said in greeting.

"Hello darlin'. What have you been up to?" he asked while smirking at me.

"Oh not much, I just mailed off the wedding invites, and…," I said, when I was suddenly cut off by a vision.

"Oh no! This cannot be happening!" I screeched.

I saw our cousin Tanya from Denali coming down early "for a visit."

Tanya wanted to check out the little human, who had managed to snag Edward. She was very put out because she has tried for decades to get Edward. He had become something of a challenge for her. This was just going to cause her to ramp up her efforts. I looked over to Edward, and he was pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.

When everyone heard my exclamation and saw Edward's frustration, they all got concerned.

"What is it Alice?" Jasper asked when he began feeling the frustration rolling off of me.

"What have you seen?" Rose wondered.

"Is it the Volturi?" Esme asked in a panicked tone.

They were all talking at once.

"Everyone please calm down!" I said loudly, so I could be heard over the den of their voices.

"Well, what is it Alice?" Carlisle asked once everyone calmed down.

"Tanya," Edward muttered so low only the vampires could hear.

"He he, you are in trouble now little brother," Emmett chortled with glee with an evil glint in his eye.

He was enjoying this information a little too much. He always enjoyed the torture Tanya put Edward through during one of her visits. Suddenly, Bella spoke up.

"What is going on, guys? Why do you look so worried?" she asked.

No one spoke up. She stood up and put one of her hands on her hip and cocked it to the side.

"Alright guys, no secrets. You had better tell me what is going on, right now!" she demanded pointing her finger at all of us.

Poor thing, she did deserve to know. I was about to explain when Rose spoke up.

"Tanya, one of our cousins, from the Denali coven is coming early," Rose said in a calm even voice.

Bella wasn't going to be fooled though.

"Okay, then what is all the fuss about? I thought the Denali coven is vegetarian just like you. What are you not telling me?" Bella asked.

Edward just laid his head in his hands and groaned; now Bella looked really worried, and Emmett had a gleeful look on his face. He was obviously remembering some of Tanya's more forceful persuasion techniques.

"Bella, no matter what happens, remember that you are the one Edward loves. You are the one he is going to marry," Rosalie said.

We all stared in shock at Rosalie; she really was warming up to Bella.

"What? I can be sensitive when the need arises!" she said sounding slightly offended, while rolling her eyes, while she continued on.

"Tanya is a vegetarian. That isn't what has Edward stressed. She has a thing for Edward and has been after him for the past 50 years. She has tried everything in the book to get him. She has been quite aggressive at times. So we are all worried as to why she is coming here early, without the rest of the family," she finished explaining.

Bella looked very upset, and Rose looked remorseful for telling her so much.

"So you're telling me that not only do I have most of the female population in Forks panting after my fiancé; but now, I have a gorgeous vampire that wants him too!" She ranted.

She turned and glared at Edward.

"When were you planning on telling me this, Edward? You knew she was coming to the wedding. Were you going to wait until she got here and did something to upset not only us, but the whole household?" she asked nearly screeching.

At that, Bella ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut to their room. We could hear her as she fell on the bed and started crying. I couldn't seem to help myself in feeling bad for Bella. I could see how much she loved Edward and how unsure of herself she was. It was then I realized how much of myself I saw in Bella. Maybe, that was why I had acted the way I did, when Edward first brought her around. Poor Edward looked crushed; he turned to Jasper.

"Bella is feeling very angry and embarrassed. I feel fright in there, too, as well as longing. I think she wants you with her Edward. She needs reassurance from you. Just explain things to her, and make sure she knows that she has nothing to be scared about," he explained.

Edward nodded and rushed up the stairs. I caught a quick glimpse of how this turned out. With that, I urged my family to go hunt. I knew Edward and Bella needed a private moment without the rest of us hearing them.

When I got upstairs to mine and Bella's room, I saw how she had flung herself across the bed and was sobbing so hard her whole body was moving. I felt so bad for her; I didn't know what to do. I couldn't read her mind, so I didn't know whether to just talk to her or reach out and try to hold her. Seeing her cry like this made my chest ache, and so I quickly decided to try to hold her and hoped she didn't reject me.

"Bella, my love, I'm sorry that you are so upset and hurt. You surely know that I wasn't keeping this from you intentionally," I started as I lay down and stretched out beside her.

She didn't move away nor did she look at me either. God, why must everything happen to us? Why was it that Tanya just could not let go and realize that I had no desire for her? Sometimes, I felt like her vanity was a thousand times worse than Rosalie's ever could be. Even Rose knew, when she was defeated and to give up. Not Tanya, though, no, she had to keep chasing me. So far, I had been polite in rejecting her advances. I was trying to be a gentleman and be her friend, while letting her know that a friend was all she would ever be to me.

Bella was, is, and always would be the only one who would ever have my heart. She had me, all of me, my heart, mind, body, and yes my soul, if I still had one, all wrapped up in a nice little package. She had me in the palm of her hand. Bella and Bella alone had the power to make or break me. I had to stop and think back for a moment. I searched my memory to see if I had thoroughly explained that to my beloved. Yes, many times, I had told her all of that and more. I'm guessing though that when I left her and said the awful things to her, it didn't matter anymore.

Well, I would take this moment and every moment in the future I was presented with, to not only tell her, but show my precious angel how much I loved her and how much she meant to me. I was going to start right now.

"Honey, please turn over and look at me. I love you so very much, and you have no idea how much it hurts me to see you crying and upset," I pleaded.

After a few seconds, she lifted her head and turned her body to face me. Her eyes were flooded with still many unshed tears. Her cheeks were pink and flushed from all the crying she had already done. I couldn't bear for there to be any space between us, so I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close.

"Edward, why didn't you tell me about Tanya and how she has pursued you? Did something, even some minute thing happen, between the two of you to make her think that she has a claim on you?" she asked with those big, pleading doe eyes.

I could deny this woman nothing, when she looked at me like that. So I explained every single solitary time that Tanya and I had been in each other's company, right down to the finest detail. When I was finished, I stayed quiet and looked at my beautiful fiancé and waited for her to say something.

"I understand, Edward; I don't like it one bit, but I do understand it. You really are simply irresistible; you just don't see yourself clearly, as you tell me," she said with a hint of a smile on her lips.

She was teasing me, so I knew the worst of it was over for now. I wanted nothing more at this moment than to take her in my arms and show her just how much I loved and needed her.

"Thank you, love, for understanding that the reason I never told you about Tanya was simply because I felt that she was not even significant enough for me to talk about, to you or anyone else for that matter," I told her, then rolled us so I was on top of her.

"You're welcome, baby. But please from now on, even if you don't find it significant; no matter what it is, you will tell me," she said.

"I solemnly swear, Isabella Marie Swan, soon to be Cullen, that I will from this day forward tell you even the smallest detail of anything in my past, present, or future," I said to her and meant every word of it.

"I love you, Edward, and I couldn't stand to lose you again. I'm not going to stand by and watch as some vamp slut tries to take what's mine. I will fight if I have to human or not, I don't care. You are mine, and it's going to stay that way," she declared.

Damn, I just got a hard on. My mind ceased to think about anything else, except being with my mate and making love to her all night long.

I was already on top of her; and when she felt me get hard, she smirked and raised her eyebrow at me.

"You see what you do to me, Miss Swan, soon to be Cullen?" I asked smirking back.

"I can't see because you're all covered up, but I can most definitely feel something long, hard, and thick pressing into me," she quipped.

"Ah, Bella, my love, I do love when your feisty side comes out to play," I said, then immediately took possession of her lips with my own.

We kissed, until she had to break for air, then I began moving down her neck. I kissed, licked and sucked every inch of bare skin I could reach. By the time we were both shirtless, our breathing was nothing but short hard pants of air moving between our teeth.

"Edward! I need you, baby. I need you in me right now!" she said while moving her hands quickly to the front of my jeans.

She had them open and pushed down to my knees in no time and was pushing them the rest of the way down with her feet. I took the lead and got us both naked, as quickly as possible; and then I plunged deeply inside her warm body.

"Ugghhh!" we both cried out.

Without pausing, I plunged over and over into my love's body with all that I had to give her. She took it and gave back to me in the same way. Our bodies entwined and coiled around the other one, never being able to get enough of the other one.

I couldn't begin to describe what being with Bella felt like. My mind ceased to function when we were intimate like this.

"Ohhh god, Bella, baby, ummm! I'm gonna come, love, I'm gonna come so hard inside of you!" I grunted.

"Edward! Yes, baby! Oh! Ah! Ugh! Fill me up!" she screamed as her walls clenched around my length.

I gave her all I had, until I was empty; then I stayed buried inside her, until we both came down from our high. When we were both calmed and sated, well at least for now; we lay in bed and cuddled. We talked more about the Tanya situation; and Bella felt much more calm and confident about it, now that we had talked it all out.

I realized what I would need to do to take care of the problem; and I was ready to step up and do it. It may take me not being so much of a gentleman, but that was okay too. All I cared about was making my Bella happy and keeping her that way.
