Chapter 13

Relief & Pain

EPOV

I was in a state of ecstasy!

Bella had made me the happiest man on earth!

I now had to make her the happiest woman!

We had to meet with Alice and get our wedding planned.

We had let our confessions flow last night and in turn we became one.

It was perfect.

She was perfect.

Bang! Bang!

Who the hell could be at my door at 5:30a.m. on a Saturday morning, I thought to myself.

I slid out of bed, careful not to wake Bella.

Found my boxers on the floor and went to the door.

It was Jake!

"Is Bella here?" Jake roared, trying to push his way through my door.

"That's a dumb question Jacob, you see her fucking car right there. Where else is she going to be?" I spat.

"Did she tell you about her problem?" Jake replied.

"Ummm, you mean her miscarriage?' I replied.

"Yes, she did tell me Jacob, and she told me how you weren't there for her. How she had to go through the entire thing by herself!" I said through clinched teeth.

"Whatever, she pushed me away! She didn't want me!" Jake spat.

"Well, Jacob, it's done and over with. She wants me, not you and we're getting married this summer. I'm not wasting another minute without her and we're going to start our own family and nothing bad will ever happen to Bella again!" I replied.

"Edward she's only with you because of your looks and money, she doesn't love you. If she did, she would have stopped you from going to NY in the beginning. She loves me, that's why I was her first and only true love." Jake yelled.

"You need to leave now Jacob or I will call Charlie and have you arrested for trespassing and for aggravated assault. I saw Bella's arm last night and what you did to her. Now leave!" I spat.

Jake turned around and left, stopped at the end of my driveway and said "Don't think this is over! I'll never let her be happy!" and then he drove away.

I turned to walk into the house and saw Bella in the door way.

"Good Morning Beautiful. How did you sleep?" I asked, encircling her in a loving embrace.

"Wonderful until the yelling started. Sorry her showed up here." she whispered.

"Don't be love, I'm kinda glad. I told him what our plans were and that he was in no way involved into those.." I kissed her forehead.

"Let's go eat breakfast!" I scooped her into my arms.

"I'm cooking!" she replied.

She made us French toast, bacon and eggs. It was wonderful.

We called Alice who was already bouncing off the walls and invited her Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie over for dinner.

We told them all how we had at least 2 ½ months to plan a wedding, we wanted to be married as soon as possible after school was out.

Alice had a planner and wrote down everything that needed to be done.

First on the list was Bella's dress, followed by Rosalie's and Alice's dresses.

She would have a maid of honor and matron of honor, no bridesmaids and I've have 2 best men.

We we're all so excited and into the planning that we didn't realize it was 1a.m.

They said their goodbye's and Bella and I headed to bed, ready to face the Principal and Staff tomorrow morning.

We awoke in just enough time to shower together with a little morning bonus, grab coffee and pastries from the corner store and leave for school.

When we arrived, we went into the Principals office and let him know what had transpired and that we would act professionally and not cause a scene about anything going on in our personal lives, we even let him know about Jacob.

He said he would keep his eyes open because Jacob was already on a warning due to a parent complaint.

He already had another person lined up for the top coaching position for the Forks baseball team, if Jacob got out of hand.

Wednesday after work Alice, Rosalie and I were going to Seattle to dress shop, Alice had a designer friend there and was going to show some of his one of a kind stuff to me.

I had taken Thursday off as the others did too, so we wouldn't have to rush.

We went to the dress shop and he had about 20 dresses out for me, I wanted something mid-century, I wanted out wedding to be modern but old-fashioned.

I was on dress 15, when Alice and Rosalie squealed, as did I once I saw it in the mirror. The designer came over and clapped in delight.

The dress was perfect! The name of the dress was perfect and it was a one of a kind.

The dress was name Midsummer Night, as in the book. It was a sign!

We had already decided to have a dusk wedding. Alice had a vision of thousand of twinkle lights.

I agreed.

We found all the accessories and undergarments to go with the dress.

We also found Alice and Rosalie's dresses.

They wanted simple and straight lines and we wanted to match the colors of the sky at dusk.

Rosalie's dress was an orange color and Alice's was yellow.

We were so excited. We found all our dresses in one day.

We went out to dinner and after back to our hotel room where we had a heart to heart and I told them of my miscarriage.

Rosa cried more than I did when I told them, Alice was just in shock.

Of course they all cursed Jacob for leaving me by myself and were upset that I never came to them.

I told them that I just didn't feel right, because I didn't want them to have to keep it from Edward, because I knew there were no secrets in the family, except for the one that Carlisle had to keep due to doctor/patient rules.

We awoke the next morning to go shopping before going home.

Edward called me and said he missed me and that his bed was lonely.

He asked if I would spend the night tonight, I wanted to, but I had so many papers to grade and plans to do for the end of the year.

I agreed to dinner and a movie.

When I arrived, he had soft music playing and candles lit everywhere.

He pulled out the chair for me and put dinner on the table.

He'd made roasted duck, seasoned potatoes and broccoli, along with a salad and bread.

It was wonderful. He was truly talented at everything he did.

After dinner, instead of a movie, I asked him to play something on the piano for me.

He smiled and played my lullaby.

I couldn't help but smile as he played it.

He said he was working on something and it would be reviled on our wedding day.

Again, making me blush.

"I Love You, Edward Cullen" I said kissing his neck. He groaned.

"I Love You to Isabella Swan" he smiled, because he knew he was the only one I didn't get upset at for saying my name.

We kissed for a while and then I had to go, I had so much work to do. It was so hard to leave him.

As I was leaving, he grabbed my hand "Bella, I want you to always be with me. I want you to move in with me. Let's make this our home now and forget about you having to run home every night. " he said softly in my ear.

I smiled and said I would think about it.

As much as I wanted to be with him 24/7, I wanted to wait and move in after the wedding, kinda keeping it traditional.

I hope he'd understand that.

When I got home I called to let him know I was safe and sound and I was going to start on my work.

He sighed and told me he missed me already and his bed was screaming my name.

"I can hear you blushing Bella." he said into the phone.

"Yes, Edward as always you do that to me. I love you! Goodnight." I said and hung up.

It was so hard to concentrate after that, but I managed to get half of it done.

I arrived at school about 30 minutes early and Edward was already there, I walked into my class and he was waiting for me.

He stood up and smiled. Walked over to me and gave me a big hug and kiss.

I told him I had more work to do and shooed him out of the room, he left with his head down.

I want to come over tonight and do naughty things to you.

~B 3

A few minutes later my phone beeped as well.

Yes, I'd love it. See you at 6:00p.m.

~E

I was smiling all day.

My kids were wonderful and at the end of the day, Edward stopped by and told me he'd see me tonight, I kissed him and told him I have some work to finish up and I'd be there around 6p.m.

I finished my work and drove home, I kinda dreaded it, I got my car back finally today, but I have to see Jacob when I get there.

"What brings you by here Bells?" Jake asked.

"Um, you know I have to get my car today. It's suppose to be ready." I snipped.

"Oh, yeah, the crappy Volvo, sorry, we can't fix it." Jake snapped.

"What? You've had my car for almost a month and it's still not done!" I yelled.

"NOPE!" Jake said popping the 'p'

"Keep your voice down Bella, Embry's got customers and they don't need to hear your whining." Jake snapped.

I pulled out my phone and Jake snatched it out of my hand and threw it on the ground.

"What the fuck Jacob!" I screamed.

"Oh, Jacob, not Jake, you must be pissed at me!" he mocked.

I tried to walk out, but Jake grabbed my arm, "We need to talk, this is crazy!" he spat.

He pulled me out, me hitting him the entire way out, Embry laughing the entire time.

"If anything happens, Embry, Edward will hold you responsible, because you didn't do anything to help me!" I screamed at him.

Jake threw me in his car and drove to a secluded spot.

"I'm warning you Jacob, Edward is expecting me tonight. He'll come looking for me, he knew I was picking up my car today." I spat.

"I'm not afraid of Edward Cullen, he's the least of my worries right now, Bella." he replied.

"You have disrespected me and my family and friends. I can't let that go Bella, you're not going to go off and marry him after just getting back together with him and we were together for years and you wouldn't marry me. This is unacceptable!" he yelled.

I tried to get out of the car and he yanked me back in by my ponytail.

"Don't touch me you disgusting piece of shit!" I screamed at Jacob.

He slapped me across the face, I managed to get out of the car that time and took off running towards the road. I fell a few times and still managed to get away from him, although I didn't know how.

I ran and ran until I came to a little general store and asked to use the phone. The man looked at me a nodded yes. I called my dad first thing.

"Dad, I need you to arrest Jacob Black for assault, I'm calling Edward to come get me and I'll call you later, to see if you've found him, if not, go to Embry, he'll know, he might even be an accessory." I said it all really fast.
