Forever And Always

Chapter 31

Six And A Half Months Later...

Edward P.O.V

I looked at the clock, shaking my leg impatiently. How much longer would it take? Why is time going so slowly? I get to the point of impatience where I get up from my seat and start pacing around the room, walking around the room. Waiting. That's the worst part of anything in this world.

My heart is pounding really fast, I can feel my body shake and my hands are sweaty. How much longer do I have to wait.

The door opens and Carlisle walks in.

"She's ready," he said.

"Where is she?" I asked.

"She's in her room with her mother, Esme and the girls. It's time," he smiled and walked towards me. "And you need to fix this tie." He grabbed my tie and started fixing it.

I chuckled, nervously. "Thank you. Where's Bruno?"

"He's with Emmett and Jasper downstairs," he said. "Ready? Alice won't let Bella come down unless you're outside."

I nodded. "Yes, I'm ready."

Carlisle and I walked down the stairs. Emmett gave me Bruno, who wore a cute back suit, with back Jordan's - Emmett couldn't find his other shoes Alice chose - and a white shirt under his jacket.

I smiled at my son, looking how much he looked like his mother and he was only eight months old. He had her little nose, lips and hair. I felt like he only had my eyes, which get greener by the time.

"Aren't you handsome," I smiled down at him as he licked his fingers. I take his hand away but he puts it back on his mouth. "No, out." I pull it out, again.

We all laughed when he whines and puts his fingers back in his mouth.

"Edward, look at the camera," Carlisle comes in with the camera.

I take Bruno's fingers out of his mouth again and point at the camera, which catches his attention from his fingers.

"There," Carlisle says, looking at the picture.

"Tell Edward to get his ass outside, now!" Alice yelled from upstairs. "And Emmett and Jasper, too!"

"Edward, let's get our ass out of here before Alice kicks our ass," Jasper pulled me out of the house, laughing.

When we walked outside, I saw the decorations Alice, Rosalie, Renee and Mom organized. All the guests were here, taking their seats. Even the Denali, Tanya's parents who after their daughter was sent to jail came to apologize for her acts and we started a new friendship. At the beginning, I thought it was probably a bad idea but then I realized there's no way for her to hurt my family again.

I shook hands with the priest and held Bruno while waiting for Bella to finally walk down that aisle with Carlisle.

The instrumental version of Turning Page by Sleeping At Last, song that Bella and I chose, started. Emmett took Bruno from me, and went to sit down. Esme, Renee, Rosalie and Alice take a seat, giving me a big grin.

I look down the hall and then, I see her. Her hair let loose over her bare shoulders in brown curls, her bail fall over her back and her dress is simple, not took much but not so plain. She has a big smile on her face, her eyes shine though she's not looking at me directly.

Carlisle walks her down the aisle, smiling at all the guests they by until they reach me. He takes her hand and places it on mine.

"Edward?" She smiled.

"Who else are you marrying?" I laughed.

She chuckled, nervously. I wrapped my hand around her waist and lead her up to the altar.

Priest Warner, smiled and indicated everyone else to sit down.

"We'll gathered here to witness the union in holy matrimony of Edward Anthony Cullen and Isabella Marie Swan," he said, on so went on for an entire hour. Reading off the book he carried. Made us drink the wine and share each others vows.

The entire time I felt Bella's hand slightly shake in mine. She was nervous, I could see it in her breathing. I was, but now, knowing there's no going back, I can't wait to say, 'I do.'

After half an hour of ceremony, the moment finally comes.

"Please, face each other," Mr. Warner said. I turn to face Bella. Small tears fall down her cheek, but she never looses her smile. "Repeat after me, Edward."

I nodded.

"I, Edward Cullen," he said.

"I, Edward Cullen," I repeated.

"Take you, Isabella Swan."

"Take you, Isabella Swan."

"To have and to hold. Please, go on from that," he said.

I nodded, again. "To have and to hold. For better and for worse. In richness and poverty. In sickness and in health. To love, and cherish... As long as we both shall live."

"Now, your turn, Isabella," he said.

"Same thing?" She asked.

Everyone chuckled.

"Yes, same thing," he chuckled.

Bella looked at me, but I knew she wasn't really. She said she wanted this, she wanted to be in our wedding the same way she met me, she didn't need to see all this for it to be special, she need us together.

"I, Isabella Swan, take you, Edward Cullen, to have and to hold. For better and for worse. In richness and poverty. In sickness and in health. To love and cherish... As long as we both shall live."

"Do you, Edward Cullen, take Isabella as your wife?" He asked.

"I do," I smiled.

"Do you, Isabella Swan, tame Edward as your husband?"

"I do," she said.

"By the power vested in me by the saint church, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride, Edward."

Everyone stood up and clapped as I, took my wife's face between my hands and pulled her in a slow, passionate, loving kiss.

Right then, we had forever together.

Author's Note:

No, this is not the end. Yet. I apologize that I haven't published but I've been really busy back home that it hasn't given me the time to write. Now, I've been deciding which story would be good to publish first after NWTLA and FAA are done, some have shown interest in Unconditionally, but I'll let you guys know before I publish the epilogue.
