Bella POV

I got up on Saturday a bit hung over a slight headache I turn over trying to find my phone blindly as it wails in the silence. "Yeah" I gurgle out into the phone thankful to shut the hell up. "Well, looks like someone had fun last night. Get the door we are here." Esme's sweet voice comes the phone. I smile she is here to help me get ready for the rehearsal dinner tonight. Italian families have traditions and Esme is here as my pseudo mother to make sure everything goes well. I am not sure who she brought with her. I slide out of bed and pull my robe on and shuffle to the door.

"Good morning" Esme almost sings as she walks in with Rose striding in behind her not meeting my eyes. I grumble in response I am not a morning person even though it is creeping up on 11. I walk into the kitchen grabbing a mug and putting it under the spout and pushing the button for the coffee to start. I stand dumbly looking at the coffee cup needing it to fill faster. I need coffee before we delve into the day and I have to pretend that Rose is not hiding something from all of us.

Rose was standing behind me when I turned from the coffee pot with my scalding cup of happy. I jumped and proceeded to spill the hot as fuck liquid down my front and hers. "Oh my Bella I am so sorry, I wasn't trying to scare you." Rose bellows as I pull the robe from my body along with the paper thin camisole I had on under it. To my incredible dismay Garett comes barreling in the kitchen obviously attracted by the noise.

"GET OUT." I scream at the top of my lungs. My head hurts now I am burned and pissed off. Rose steps in front of me blocking Garett's view of me in just my underwear.

"Go Garett my brother will not like you seeing her this way." Rose says evenly. Garett turns and walks from the room Esme is standing in the doorway. "Oh love we can't have this today Rose take her upstairs get in something comfortable and lets go get everything finalized for the wedding. I brought your rehearsal dress with me today we can get ready at my place tonight. I nod and Rose walks up the stairs holding my hand like I am a child and right now I could careless I hope my skin is not red and burned because I am the main attraction at a beautiful wedding tomorrow.

After a quick shower and dressed in relaxed jeans and a t-shirt I walk down the stairs to my fiancé standing in the entry having what looks like a rather heated discussion with Rose and Garett. He looks up as though he could sense that I was near him. He smiled at me as soon as he got my face and I smiled back.

" Hello darlin' I was just on my way put but I see that waiting to see your beautiful face was the right choice." I blushed and he laughed he kissed me 3 times and walked out the door. I lifted my eyebrow at Garett and Rose they both shook their heads at me.

"Well now that we have had our excitement for the day how about we take this party to my house and have some relaxation time." Esme said swooshing by and out the door. That woman was a bit like Mary Poppins sometimes it was a little scary.

The day went by fast and it was relaxing we sat in Esme's sunroom and were pampered to high heaven. My fingernails and toenails were clean and buffed to perfection, along with every inch of my face and hair. We drank lemonade and ate light at lunch the rehersal dinner was a big ordeal for Italian families and ours would be no different. I went to get dressed about 6 and Rose asked then if she could have a few minutes.

"Of course you can Rose I have been trying to talk to you for weeks and you have avoided me." She sighed at my comment because she had to know that I would have recognized the avoidance.

" I am sorry Bella I never meant to push you out but I couldn't lie and I didn't know how to tell you truth. You know that for us as children you didn't tell anyone your secrets but you're marrying my brother and I want to have a sister." She looked like she was about to burst into a fit of tears and I do not like crying not one bit.

"It's okay Rose I know that you wouldn't do anything to hurt me on purpose or I would hope not because Jasper and I are going to be married tomorrow and we will be as good as blood family." She nodded, sat down on the bed and took a heaving breath.

"I got pregnant a couple of months ago, Edward and I had talked about and decided to wait to have kids a few months before that. I was afraid that he would be mad at me for not being responsible enough to take my birth control correctly so I freaked out. I hid it quit talking to him much didn't have sex with him. It sounds a little crazy even to me but I was afraid that he would know that I was pregnant. The week after Valentine's Day I was walking home from the restaurant, I had sent the security home as it is only a block. I don't honestly know what happened all I know is that I woke up a bloody mess and in a lot of pain. I went to see the private doctor my mom keeps on payroll. I had a lot of bruising and I still have some but the babe is gone and it is all my fault. Edward and I lost a child that he doesn't even know ever even existed." She looked as though she would burst into tears at any moment.

"Oh Rose I am so sorry. I am not sure what else to say but I think you need to tell your husband he cares love." I grab her hand trying to give her some comfort without crying with her. I cant believe that she has been enduring all of this alone. She stands dropping my hand and rubbing her hands on her dress and looks up at me no sign of any former distress.

"I will tell him eventually Bella but please leave it alone. Esme put the dress in the changing room we leave in an hour" Rose says as she walks toward the door.

"Rose if Jasper asks me I will not lie to him. He will be my husband and I can't save you and ruin my marriage." I say and she pauses at the door and I see her nod slightly.

I pulled the beautiful green silk dress out of it's garment bag. I couldn't wait to put this dress on it was beautiful. A green floral lace 3/4 length sleeve, v neck gown as it slid over my body I imagined my wedding dress tomorrow and smiled tonight was my last night as a Swan tomorrow I would be a Whitlock. I pinned my hair up and freshened my make up as I stepped out of the room I took a deep breath, both families would be at dinner tonight and Italians get rowdy.

When the car pulls up in front of the Cullen's restaurant ,that they closed tonight just for our dinner, Jasper was standing at the curb in a very nice suit. He opened the door as soon as the car came to a stop I swung my legs out and Jasper took my had to help me stand.

"Do you know how amazing you look tonight darlin?" He leans down and says to me so only I can hear him and kisses my cheek. I blush slightly at the complement but I am happy that he likes what I have on tonight. We walk in to loud cheering and cat calls I smile and wave at everyone.

"If you would all like to take your seats and pick up your glass of prosecco." Sherman belts over the room leans down and grabs his glass and raises it. " To my son and soon to be daughter, may you be as happy as anyone could be, Per cent'anni," He drinks as everyone repeats Per cent'anni. We spend the night talking and laughing and mostly eating the 50 or so selections of pasta and cheese hat have been passed around family style. We drink until we are sloshy and I am regretting it already because I have breakfast at 10 am with the women of all the families in attendance.

"I cannot wait to see you tomorrow darlin, I never thought that I would be happy about having a ball and chain. But I am Isabella I don't think I would have ever met a woman more perfect for me that you." He kisses my lips sweetly almost as if he was afraid of what I would say. "I am a lucky woman to be taking you as my husband it is my honor." I kiss him back.

Around midnight we cut the party off and all went our separate ways I stood on the curb waiting for the car to pull up my handsome man standing next to me without a real care in the world. The car pulled to the car curb and thats when the shots went off Jasper threw me to the pavement and all I remember is the sound of my head hitting the sidewalk and the warm feeling that followed.

Per cent'anni - For a hundred years
