Chapter Twenty six. Duct-tape, rope and an old sack.
Edward's POV
I stretched out in bed trying to wake my body up, the flight back from LA and the long drive home had made it a very long day on Sunday. It was Tuesday before any of us even realized it and now it was already Thursday and getting so close to Saturday I could almost taste it. My brain awoke slowly and I realized that my face was not nestled on my favorite pillow of Bella's tits. I reached out but the bed next to me was empty, and cold, so I knew Bella had left our bed some time ago. If there was one thing that I really hated, it was waking up without her. I opened my eyes to see that it was a little after nine in the morning, I saw a note on Bella's pillow.
To Daddy,
Mommy and I tried to wake you, but you were too deep in lala land, so we have gone to Portland with Aunty Alice, Aunty Rose and Grandma. We will be home ASAP as we miss you already. Love, Daddies little angel.
I couldn't help the grin on my face as I read the note, I know Bella had written it to make me smile, it worked. I sometimes felt I should pinch myself just to make sure I'm awake. I loved Bella more than anything I could imagine, she was the girl of my dreams and so much more. I was about to marry her, and she had given me the most precious gift I could ever have, Alexandria. I had never imagined that being a father could bring so much pleasure, but it did, immensely so. My very own tiny ray of sunshine and I had never been happier, I was going to be with them forever. Protecting my own little family, not something I had thought about, I'd known I wanted a family with Bella, I just hadn't realize how good it was going to make me feel.

"So... any idea's for songs at the wedding?" Alice asked, when we were all in the living room.
"Don't you mean for the reception?" Emm asked.
"Or our first dance." Rose added.
"All of the above." Alice said.
"Well there is always the obvious choice." I said, sliding Bella's iPod out of the back pocket of her jeans and finding Bryan Adams' 'Everything I do.' I put her iPod into the sound system and pressed play.
"Aww, you old romantic." Alice said, grinning at me.
"Waiting for a girl like you by Foreigner." Emm suggested, Rose grinned and kissed his cheek. "Or Zeppelin's whole lotta love." He added.
"The Door's, touch me." Jaz suggested, making Ali grin at him.
"If you are talking love songs, then you have to include 'Truly, madly, deeply' by Savage garden." Bella added.
"Bruno Mars, Just the way you are." Alice said, winking at Jaz.
"I don't have that one on my iPod." Bella said.
"You mean you've had all the others so far?" Ali asked, Bella grinned and nodded. "Pick one song on random and play that."
Bella did as she asked and burst out laughing, "Oh yes we should include this one." She said laughing, I didn't recognize it and judging by the others they didn't either. Bella however wrapped her arms around herself and started to sing along.
"Lookin' like first class acting like a cheap date honey drippin' smile so stylin' bet you know what you do don't you baby?
Eyes that penetrate heat that denigrates lust communicates I can hardly wait to get to you and show you baby.
If you want to I can be dirty too, I can spin you around pick you up and go down, if you want to I can be just like you and do the dirty things you do.
Walk into a room imperceptible boom tight shot close zoom when you move it's assumed you feel it too don't you baby?
Tickin' like a fuse there's an itch I gotta scratch ten minutes in a room get this monkey off my back any dark space would do to show you baby.
If you want to I can be dirty too I can spin you around pick you up and go down if you want to I can be just like you and do the dirty things you do."
"Bella!" Jaz yelled, she grinned at him and then hid behind me giggling. "What the hell is this doing on your iPod?" He asked.
"I have all Darren Hayes songs." She said shrugging.
"Well that better be the only song like that." He said, I laughed, I couldn't help it. "What?" He asked.
"Does NIN's Closer count?" I asked laughing at his scowl.
"You had better be joking."
"Of course he isn't, where do you think I got it from?" Alice said trying to calm him down, and making me laugh even more.
"Why can't we have that as our first dance song?" Emm asked, Rose smacked his arm. "I can just see Gramps getting his freak on to it." He said, unfortunately now I could see that too, the thought of him dancing to it with Grandma made me shudder.
"I've just got off the phone with Aunty Kate." Mom said as she walked in the room. "Uncle Garrett can't come down until late tomorrow, but she will be arriving late tonight with Irina and Tanya."
"O-oh." Emm said staring at me. Shit I hadn't even thought about Tanya coming for the wedding. Tanya and Irina had been adopted by my Aunt and Uncle when they were babies, so they were not actually blood relatives. Tanya had pointed this fact out to me every time we were together, she'd been trying to get into my pants since we were twelve. She was cute an all, but she was my cousin, I just didn't like her that way, fortunately I hadn't seen her for a few years. I hope she was over that shit, I didn't want her to make things uncomfortable for me at my own wedding. Besides I'm pretty sure Bella would remove her head if she so much as looks at me that way.
"What's wrong?" Rose asked him.
"Oh... er... Our cousin Tanya, she has a bit of a thing for Edward." Emm said, and I felt Bella tense up behind me.
"What?" Rose asked glaring at me.
"Adopted cousin, and he always turned her down, but I did have to rescue him the last time she was here, she took it on herself to try and take off his clothes at the beach." He said, chuckling at the memory of it probably, all the memory did for me was make me shiver with revulsion. "She is kind of deluded, thought he was only saying no because he didn't want to get caught." He said, yeah, deluded was right.
"When did this happen?" Bella asked, and I turned to put my arms around her.
"About two years ago, I've been away from home for every visit since then." I said kissing her nose, as she watched me closely.
"How old is she?" She asked.
"Eighteen, same as us."
"So she won't be a problem?" She asked.
"I don't think she'd be that stupid." I said, at least I hope not, "not with so many people around".
"I don't have the best track record when it comes to your ex's." She pointed out to me.
"Firstly, she's not an ex and secondly I don't give a rat's ass what anyone else wants, I am marrying you, I will be with you the entire time she is here, so I will have you to protect me." I said, lifting her up to kiss her. Bella wrapped herself around me, and kissed me deeply.
"I'm sure she is well over her little crush Edward, besides she's off to Dartmouth soon." Mom said reassuringly.
"She better be." Bella said. "Or she'll be off to Dartmouth in a wheelchair." She whispered, I laughed and kissed her again.

Bella and I had just gotten out of the shower, it was a little after seven in the morning and we knew we had until half past before Alex woke up. Seriously she was better than an alarm clock, seven thirty every morning, and always so happy. I watched Bella as she pulled on her panties, smirking to myself as I remembered flattening her body against the tile wall as I pumped my cock into her.
"Are you okay?" I asked, I had been pretty rough with her, and I worried I may have hurt her.
"Of course Edward, you don't have to keep asking that, I'm not that delicate and I like it rough sometimes too, you know that." She said, I did know that, but I always wanted to take care of her.
"But you were still sore from last night." I pointed out, we had gone to bed early to avoid Tanya when she arrived last night. We made love most of the night, and knowing she was sore I still had to have her in the shower this morning.
"I'm perfectly fine, stop worrying so much." She said pulling on a T-shirt.
"I love you." I said pulling her to me, she raked her nails down my chest and kissed my nipple. "Keep that up and sore or not I will..." I didn't finish as Alex let out of heart wrenching wail. The two of us launched ourselves out of the bathroom and straight into Alex's room, to see my baby girl screaming in the arms of Tanya.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I yelled at her, as Bella ran to take Alex from Tanya.
"She was crying so I picked her up." Tanya said, as half the people in the house came running into the room to see why Alex was crying.
"Bullshit! Now hand her over." I yelled.
"No she's fine." Tanya said turning and pulling away from Bella.
"Let her go." Bella said through clenched teeth.
"I said she's fine, I can handle her." Tanya said, I closed the gap between us and grabbed Tanya's arm, by this point Alex was hysterical. "I want to take care of her for you."
"Give her to Bella or I swear to god, I will forget my no hitting girls rule and beat the crap out of you." I growled at her.
Finally Bella pulled Alex away, rushing from the room into our room and slamming the door behind her.
"Edward, you heard what she said, she picked her up because she was crying." Aunt Kate said but I ignored her and slammed Tanya against the closet door.
"You ever go near my daughter again, and not only will I let her mother rip your fucking head off, I will hold you down while she does it. Now get the fuck out of my sight," I said as she stood frozen glaring at my bare chest. "You make any move to ruin this wedding and it will be the last thing you do." I growled.
"Edward!" Kate yelled, but I ignored her. "Esme, are you going to let him talk to my daughter like that?" Aunt Kate asked, I was positively seething at this point.
"My son can do what he likes to protect my granddaughter, especially against liars, Alex was asleep and was most definitely not crying. Now lets take this conversation downstairs so that Bella and Edward can calm Alex down." Mom said but I was already half way across the hall.
I heard them all going downstairs as I entered the bedroom, I can honestly say I have never seen my baby girl so distraught. Bella was crying and I was fighting back tears at the sight of my girls this upset. I could fucking kill Tanya for this, two minutes in the house and already making life miserable for everyone. It wasn't until Alex had her mouth wrapped around Bella's nipple that she finally calmed down... just like her daddy.
"How are you doing?" I asked Bella as I rubbed her back.
"We have today and tomorrow to get through with her living in this house, I think by Saturday, I will be heading to prison before we get married. I can't stay here, not whilst she is here, I won't let her hurt Alex like that again." She said getting more upset.
"Shush, baby, I know, I'll pack us some things and book us into a hotel until after the wedding, I don't want to be near her either." I said.
"But all the hotels will be full because of all the wedding guests." Bella pointed out.
"I don't care if we have to stay in Port Angeles, we are not staying here." I said wrapping my arms around her and kissing her head.
We could hear raised voices coming from downstairs, the conversation must be getting pretty heated, I looked at Bella and grinned when we heard someone scream and doors slam. "Maybe we should go and see what's going on." I suggested. We waited until Alex had finished her milk, normally Bella wouldn't give her milk until after Alex had had a jar of baby breakfast but under the circumstances giving her milk first wouldn't hurt. Bella changed and dressed her whilst I finished getting dressed.
When we got to the kitchen, Kate, Tanya and Irina were nowhere to be seen, everyone else except Dad was there, but I knew he'd be working extra at the hospital before the wedding because of having time off for the honeymoon.
"Is she okay?" Mom asked, reaching for Alex.
"Finally, yeah." I said, "Where are they?" I asked, I didn't really care as long as they weren't in my way.
"Kate has taken the girls to Port Angeles for the day, until everyone calms down." Mom said as she cuddles Alex.
"Why? What happened?" I asked.
"Your sister told Tanya that she was a 'fucking lying skank.'" Jasper said.
"Language Jasper." Mom said, though she was fighting back a smile.
"Sorry Mom." He said blushing. "Tanya retaliated by saying 'at least she wasn't knocked up and having some sick family orgy wedding.'" He said, holy hell, I can't see that going down very well.
"What happened?" I asked, maybe a little too enthusiastically.
"Alice slapped her." Jaz said.
"And so did I." Mom added.
"And for good measure so did I." Rose said winking at Bella.
Bella almost smiled in response, but couldn't quite manage it, "I'm sorry everyone but I'm not going to stay here whilst she..." Bella started to say.
"Don't even think about leaving." Jasper said to her.
"But..."
"No Bella, Jasper is right, this is your home, I will not have you forced out of it by my ridiculous niece." Mom said.
"And I won't have my family put at risk by staying under the same roof." I said wrapping my arms around Bella.
"Well if you are leaving then so are we." Rose said.
"Us too." Jasper said.
"So either she goes or we all head to Vegas today, and fuck everyone else." I said.
"Language Edward." Mom said handing Alex back to Bella.
"I didn't plan this entire wedding just to have that stuck up stick insect ruin everything." Alice complained.
"I won't let anyone ruin this for any of you, but Kate is my sister and I would like to have her there, I think I'll phone your father, he'll know what to do." Mom said reaching for the phone.
Finally I managed to get Bella to eat some food, and Bella gave Alex her breakfast jar of sausage, eggs and beans, how she does it without getting her covered in food I will never know. We didn't have long as the marquee was coming this morning and we would all need to get everything set up.
~0~
Mom and Aunt Kate came to a compromise and Kate was going to stay in Port Angeles, the girls would stay there whilst Kate came to help Mom out. Tanya would only be here for the actual wedding, I didn't like the idea of her being here at all, but for now I could live with the situation. Bella was understandably nervous about the whole thing, saying that she didn't really want the memory of her wedding being one of a murder scene. But then the nervous tension was growing by the hour.
"Seriously guys, calm the fuck down." Emm said when, it had been an hour since anyone had said anything and we were setting up the chairs in the marquee, we all looked worried. "I'll find some duct-tape, rope and an old sack... we'll keep it hidden nearby and if anyone causes any trouble, we use it quick and stuff them in a car trunk until after the weddings over." He suggested.
"If it's Tanya we can just throw her in the river." Rose said.
"Now now Rose, she's still family." Mom said.
"We can throw her in the river and tie her to a long piece of rope, attached to the bank." Rose said. Mom turned away hiding her smile and moved to fetch more chairs.
An hour later Father Riley arrived and we had to do the wedding rehearsal, Dad showed up half way through, Emmett fluffed his lines and Alice couldn't stop giggling. Even with Mom holding her hand Izzie still managed to tip the basket of rose petal's over her head. By the end I think we had basically exercised all our demons, so hopefully all the bad stuff was done out of the way.
By Friday night practically everything was done and we were all exhausted, all we really wanted to do was sleep. My little sister as stubborn as ever insisted on the no more sex until after we're married rule, so all six of us were sleeping on air mattresses on the living room floor. I was perfectly comfortable wrapped around Bella with my head nestled on her breasts, baby monitor near by in case something woke Alex.
Rose started giggling suddenly. "Emmett stop it." Alice complained.
"I didn't do anything." He complained back, Rose giggled again.
"Emmett!" Alice said.
"I'm not touching her I swear." He said.
"You're not?" Rose asked confused and the side light came on. "Then what?" She said, pulling the duvet off her legs. Then she let out the most blood curdling scream I'd ever heard, I jumped up to see one huge ass spider sprinting towards me, Jaz and Emm in pursuit. Rose and Alice jumping onto the sofa yelling "GET IT!"
Bella tripped in her haste to get out of the way just as the spider switch directions now it was heading for her. "Fuck no!" I said, hurling myself into its path and hitting it with the first thing that came to hand, which just so happened to be the bible that the Father Riley had left behind.
"Did you get it?" Alice asked, I held up the bible to show the squashed remains spread across the entire back cover.
"Is it dead?" Bella asked from behind me, I held it up for her to see, she shivered at the sight of it.
"That spider is so dead that Edward has already given it its last rights from the bible." Emm said grinning.
"He psalm-ed it good." Jaz said laughing.
"Stop laughing and go over every inch of this place to make sure there are no more." Alice said. "And Edward, clean that off, I'd rather not see that when Father Riley is reading me my vows."
The girls downed several glasses of Jack trying to calm down, whilst we searched the place for more wildlife. Once they were satisfied the room was clear we finally got back into our beds, though I don't really remember that part, I think I was asleep before my head hit my pillows.
~0~
I woke up and grinned to myself as I nuzzled into my favorite pillows, wrapping my tongue around the nearest nipple, and moving my hand down to play with Bella's pussy. "Mmmm."
"For fuck sake Edward, stop that now, I don't need to hear what you are doing to my baby sister." Jasper complained, shit, I'd forgotten where we were.
"You should make him marry her now Jaz." Emm said, and we all started chucking, almost nervously.
"I'm getting married today." I said wrapping my arms around Bella.
"What a coincidence so am I." She said, making me chuckle as I nuzzled into her neck and kissed her.
"No way? So am I!" Emm said.
"I can't believe this is finally happening." Rose said.
"Well I think I've worked hard enough on it, it better be perfect." Alice said.
"Of course it will be perfect, you'll be there." Jasper said.
"Smooth Jaz... you trying to make the rest of us look bad?" Emm asked.
"Nope!" He said, "just reassuring my woman that she's all I'll ever need."
"Will someone shut him up before we all start spouting sonnets, I need food before I can cope with that shit." Emmett said earning his first slap of the day from Rose. "Oh come on Rosie, you know I love you, I just need a decent meal in my stomach before I have to tell the world how much I do." Emm said.

So much for my last time romp with my woman, I was sent sulking to get a shower before I had to get Alex up for her breakfast and Alice dragged Bella and Rose off to her room. I had just put shampoo in my hair when I heard the door click and then I felt Bella wrap her arms around me, she kissed my back, her hands sliding down to my ready cock. I grabbed her arm and pulled her around so I could kiss her.
"What the fuck?!" I practically screamed, covering myself. "Get the fuck out!"
"No one has to know Edward, this can be our little secret, but it is me that you are supposed to be with." Tanya said refusing to move.
"GET. THE FUCK. OUT!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
The door was wrenched open suddenly and Tanya was dragged out by her hair, by Bella, screaming blue murder. I washed the shampoo out of my eyes and grabbed my sweatpants pulling them on quickly as I could hear Tanya screaming all the way down the stairs. I ran after them, just to be sure she didn't do anything to hurt Bella, I found them on the deck next to the pool, Tanya buck naked.
"My psychic said I'm supposed to be with the man I love this weekend, he's mine, my destiny." Tanya yelled when Bella finally let her go.
I heard the loud smack as Bella slapped Tanya hard across her face. "That's for my daughter, and this is for Edward." Bella said before punching Tanya in the nose sending her flying backwards into the pool.
"I'm so sorry babe, she came up behind me, I-I thought it was you." I said panicked, she was beyond pissed. I could hear the noise behind me but I was focused on Bella.
"Take me to our shower and make love to me." She said through her teeth, shit!
"Are you sure babe, I mean..."
"I don't want you to have her as your last memory in there before you get married." She growled at me. I didn't even think about it, I scooped her into my arms I carried her straight back to our bathroom.
"I really didn't know it was..." I tried to say as she started pulling off her nightie.
"Don't." She said, placing her hand over my mouth. "I saw her pass Alice's room so I followed her to make sure she didn't go near Alex, I'm just sorry I didn't get to stop her sooner, I need to wash that bitch off you." She said.
I pulled her into my arms, she was without doubt the most fantastic woman I'd ever met. She pushed off my sweatpants and I carried her into the shower, I made love to her twice before I heard Alexandria gurgling happily through the baby monitor.

Apparently Kate and Garrett had been so disgusted with Tanya's performance that Garrett had to go alone to the hospital with Tanya, Kate couldn't even look at her. Tanya's nose had been broken and she'd be at the hospital most of the day, but whatever happened Tanya had been grounded indefinitely. As good as that news was, I had now been away from Bella for approximately four hours, seventeen minutes and twenty three seconds. God I missed her, Dad had iced and taped up Bella's hand, but I was still worried, her knuckles had been quite swollen.
I was dressed in my tux, Grandma trying to get my hair under control, if she licks her hand I'm outta here.
"So handsome." She cooed, cupping my cheek. "This reminds me so much of my own wedding, your poor Gramps, he was so afraid that Great Grandpa would shoot him he messed up all his lines. It was all so quick too, hardly remember it, then 'poof' six months later out popped your father."
"Six months? You mean you were already..." I said aghast, she winked.
"Great Grandpa brought his gun to the church, but the priest wouldn't let him bring it in." She said smiling at the memory. I never knew that, she's not even fifty five and already a Great Grandparent. "Just like all the Cullen men, so eager to get a bun in the oven." She laughed before moving on to talk to Emmett.
"How you doing kiddo?" Dad asked me whilst Father Riley spoke to Jasper.
"I just want to get on with this, I need to be married..." I said, making him chuckle. "Are you sure her hand was alright? Does she need to get it x-rayed?" I asked.
"She's fine Edward, it was just bruised, which is more than I can say for your cousin. What the hell happened? And why was she naked?" He asked, I sighed and explained what happened. He laughed for a good few minutes before he spoke again. "Well that explains a lot, you really are quite the ladies man son." He said.
"Actually I'd prefer not to be, it gets a little tiring when women throw themselves at you and I have to apologize to Bella all the time, even though I haven't done anything wrong." I said with a sigh.
"I know exactly what you mean, and as long as you promise not to tell anyone I will share this with you in the hope that it helps you realize that I understand how you feel." He said, I nodded, and he continued. "The first time your mother took me home to meet her parents, your aunt Kate walked into the bathroom whilst I was in there." He said, what the..? "I thought at first it was an accident and she'd leave, as I happen to have my hands full at the time." Er... eww, didn't need to hear that part. "She didn't leave, she turned and locked the door and came and stood behind me, she wrapped her arms around me and around my... you know, and I ended up pissing all over the toilet, the mat and the carpet before I got her off me. Now try explaining that one to your girlfriend when she comes to see where you are and see's you bright red coming out of a locked bathroom with her sister." He said.
"Holy fucking shit." I said just as Father Riley came up behind me and coughed to get my attention. "Oh... er... Sorry Father."
"Edward." He said, "I understand that you found my bible I left behind." Father Riley said. Oh crap... "Emmett tells me you made good use of it last night."
"Er..."
"So you found it useful?" He asked.
"Very... thank you." I said, Emmett grinning at me as I could feel myself shrinking, I would go to hell for this I'm sure.
