Shattered Souls • Hedric

Chapter Fifteen

Alice tried to look excited as Bella tried on wedding dresses with her mother. She knew that Edward remembered his past and was back with his soul mate. She was thrilled that Edward found his true mate and daughter, but she was also sad that Bella wouldn't become her sister. She loved Bella but she knew that all hell was going to break loose when they got home, and she was going to lose Bella's friendship.

" Alice, what do you think of this one? Do you see Edward ripping it off me on our honeymoon?" Bella laughed as she spun in a circle in front of a mirror. The dress she had on was skin tight, very low cut and had the back cut out, almost showing the top of her crack.

Alice grimaced. " I don't know Bella, you know how old fashioned Edward is." maybe we would have better luck shopping in Seattle. Alice didn't want Bella's mom to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding dress that would never get used.

Bella smiled at herself in the mirror. " No, I want to buy a dress with my mom. I really like this one, I think I look sexy, but I will try a few traditional ones on."

Alice sighed and went to grab a few dresses for Bella to try on. Hearing her phone chirp she looked at it to see a text from Rosalie. She smiled when she saw a picture of Edward holding Leora sitting on a bed with his arm around Harry. They really did make a beautiful family. She had never seen Edward look that happy and relaxed with Bella.

" Come on Alice, I want to try more dresses on!" yelled Bella from the dressing room. Alice locked and pocketed her phone then grabbed a handful of dresses of the rack, not even looking at them.

Harry was cooking breakfast while humming a song that he didn't even know the words to. He never thought that he would ever be this happy again. He was no longer in Azkaban, his beautiful tiny daughter was safe and healthy and he had his mate back. He also had a new family in Severus, the twins, Moody and now the Cullen's.

Harry spun around when he heard his baby cooing. Edward was sitting at the table making funny faces at their daughter. Since regaining his memory yesterday, Edward hadn't put Leora down; except for when they got reacquainted with each other. Harry couldn't believe how much better he felt, he felt like a new person. Leora also looked a million times better and slept less. Edward could also take Leora about ten feet from him before the bond started to act up. Leora was taking magic from Edward now. He didn't have much magic, but it was enough for Leora to thrive off of.

Edward chuckled at seeing the silly smile his mate was giving him and their daughter. " Harry, your breakfast is going to burn."

" Shoot!" Harry quickly tuned back to the stove and turned the burner off. He had made sausage, omelets, fried potatoes and toast for everyone. After breakfast Rosalie was going to let him finally see Leora's nursery. Rosalie, along with Emmett and twins had been locked up in the nursery for the past twenty four hours. He was dying to see what they did. He knew that his little girl would never be lacking for love in this family. He was so happy that Leora would never feel her stomach ache in hunger, she would never have hateful words screamed at her, and she would never cower in fear because she was about to get beat until unconscious.

Harry jumped when he felt a body press against his back. " Don't think like that love. You will never have to feel those things again either. I promise that I will never let anything happen to you, or Leora." Edward wasn't able to pick up on all of Harry's thoughts, just those that were extremely powerful.

Harry got up on his toes and kissed Edward on the lips, then kissed Leora on the head. " I'm so happy right now. I have everything that I ever dreamed of. "

" Oh no, not the sappy stuff." grumbled George, walking in the room rubbing his eyes. George looked at Edward " How the hell do you live with that blond......"
