I twirled in a beautiful wedding dress, staring at myself open mouthed. That wasn't me. It wasn't me in the reflection. I looked harder and noticed I wasn't kidding. The girl in the mirror had long strawberry blonde hair with the perfect hugs on her curves and the most stunning face, smiling brilliantly in a spectacular wedding dress. In the back ground, I noticed she was in my—Edward's bedroom. She turned around smiling to see Edward standing in the doorway smiling at her. My heart shattered and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Tanya," Edward said smiling. "You look beautiful as usual." He went over to her by the mirror and kissed her fully on the lips as my tears fell. "My love, my wife." All of a sudden, Ella, Anthony and Elizabeth ran in with huge smiles on their faces, Maria trailing behind them on her fours.
"Mommy!" They screamed as Edward wrapped her arms around her waist kissing her cheek.
"I love you Tanya."
I gasped and opened my eyes as hot tears rolled down my cheeks. Edward looked at me worried.
"Bella, sweetheart, are you okay?" he asked, stroking my hair.
"E-Edward?" I blinked and looked back at him.
"Shh I'm here Bella," he cooed rocking me in his arms. "It was just a dream, love."
I sighed and closed my eyes. Soon I cried myself to sleep.
"Oh Bella, that looks amazing on you! It's perfect!" Alice squealed as I stared at myself in disbelief.
We were wedding dress shopping and I must have been to 20 stores and in 45 dresses before having a breakthrough like this. As corny as it sounds, this was the dress. It had silver fabric as the off the straps and had a neck lining that didn't expose too much cleavage. It was pure white with beautiful and simple with a simple decorative design as the straps came together under the bust. It was beautiful and definitely defined me. Alice was right. It was perfect. (Picture on my profile)
Renee was on the verge of tears and smiling hugely, holding Maria in her lap. "Baby you look fantastic."
I smiled at my reflection at the goddess smiling back at me. I was positive it was me this time. For once, I actually felt pretty. "Can you buy it while I change Alice?"
Alice nodded. "Of course! Just no tripping on the fabric to ruin it!" she warned.
I rolled my eyes. "I'm not that much of a klutz Alice."
"Sure, Bella. Whatever you say," she said before leaving.
I carefully took off the dress and as soon as I pulled on my shirt and jeans I was pulled into a suffocating hug.
"Bella, I can't believe we're getting married!" she sniffed, drying her eyes. "It was just yesterday you just learned how to walk, toddling all over the house."
"Mom…" I said embarrassed and blushing red.
Thanks to her impeccable timing, Alice entered and took the dress and put it in its box. "Ready to pick up Edward, Bella?"
I nodded and picked up Maria who was cooing happily.
After dropping Renee off at her hotel, Alice and I headed off to the hospital. The head nurse smiled at us when we entered.
"Hello girl," she greeted with a smile. "And hello there, Maria."
We smiled and both said, "Hi Grace."
Maria clapped in my arms, "Gwace!"
Grace smiled at my baby before turning back to us. "Dr. Cullen is in his office so you're free to go in."
I nodded and smiled in thanks. Maria started to wiggle in my arms and when I tried to keep her up on my chest she just made her way down onto the floor before she started to crawl to Edward's office faster than I'd ever seen her crawl before and pushed the half open door
"Maria, baby, get off of the floor," I scorned her going to pick her up before she did something that made mine and Alice's eyes bug out.
Maria went onto her feet and stood up before waddling forward into Edward's office. "Dada!" she squealed before falling on her bum.
We ran to the room and saw Edward had the same expression as us but he was smiling. He moved out of his seat and bent beside his desk and held out his hand to her. "Come here baby. Daddy's right here," he encouraged her.
Maria got up again and took a few more steps before falling again. With a small huff she got up again and walked all the way to Edward.
Edward picked her up and kissed her cheeks then her nose. "Well done baby girl." He looked to us smiling. "She's been walking all day?"
I shook my head and stared at our baby girl. "I-I don't even know she could do that."
Alice beamed before continuing. "Edward, are you ready? We have to go wedding cake shopping now. We have an appointment in ten minutes."
Edward rolled his eyes at his sister before smiling. "I'm ready Alice," he assured her, picking up his leather bag with one hand while he held Maria on his hip. "How was the wedding dress shopping?"
I chuckled. "I found the perfect dress after hour of trying on millions of dresses, thanks to Alice."
"Hey, you can never be too sure. And if I didn't you would have never found your dress so you should be thanking me, Isabella," she said playfully glaring at me.
Edward laughed and kissed his sister's cheek sweetly. "Thank you Alice."
She grinned and beamed. "Anytime."
After class, I walked over to Edward's car with Ella and Elizabeth holding hands and skipping towards the car while Anthony just walked with me. When we got home, the kids rushed up to their rooms while I started to make dinner.
I felt Edward kiss my cheek and wrap an arm around my waist. I smiled and turned towards him after putting the spaghetti in the boiling water. Maria was having a nap on his shoulder peacefully.
"Bella?" his beautiful voice called.
"Yes?" I smiled while chopping some tomatoes.
"What was your nightmare about this morning?"
My smile fell and I gripped the counter. I sighed heavily. "Nothing. It was just a dream."
"Bella, it had to be something that really bothered you if you woke up crying."
I took a deep breath, knowing he wasn't going to give up. "I was trying on a wedding dress and when I looked in the mirror I saw…" I bit my lip nervously.
"You saw?" Edward said, trying to get me to continue.
"I saw…you with a gorgeous blonde named Tanya in my dress," my voice began to crack. "And the kids called her mommy and…you told her…you loved her." I couldn't help the tear that fell.
I felt his arms hug me to him. "Bella I will never love anyone the way I love you. What happened with me and Tanya is in the past, completely forgotten. She'll never take your place in our kids' and my heart. You are the one I want. No one else."
I looked up at him. "Are you sure, Edward?"
He leaned down to kiss my forehead." Positive, love. I love you."
I leaned back onto him. "I love you too."

I smiled at Maria and blew raspberries on her little tummy after I finished changing her. In response, she gave me a little giggle. I picked up her purple onesie and dressed her before lying on my back on the bed and putting her to sit up on my chest. I bent my legs so she could lean back on them. I looked at my watched that read '11:57'.
"Dada," she cooed smiling and clapping happily.
I chuckled. "Hello Maria," I smiled before kissing her cheek. "You think Mommy will like this?" I asked her before going into my pocket and pulling out a necklace with a silver heart shaped locket that says 'Forever Yours' with the letters 'E&B' engraved at the back.
Maria grabbed for it and plays with it in her little chubby hands. She looked up at me with those innocent hazel eyes of hers and smiled. "Pweety Dada."
I laughed as I put it around her neck. "I thought you'd like it. You want to go give it to her for me sweetie?" I put her on the floor and she started crawling out of the room.
I waited for about ten minutes before Bella came in holding the necklace with a confused yet touched expression.
"Edward? What's this for?" my angel asked looking at me with those beautiful doe eyes of hers.
I smiled and got up to walk to her side. I gave her a sweet kiss before smiling at her. "Happy birthday, love."
I hope you guys liked it! For the people who want to know where the drama comes in….I cant tell you! But it will I promise.
