"So. What if I do marry Edward?" Bella asked. She was sat beside Madej, who was bedbound. He had a new IV in his hand, and he could see the bruising from the old one mixing with the new one. Bella had avoided talking about how bad Madej was starting to look. He knew it wasn't a pretty sight; fighting cancer was always an ugly battle, and they knew it was one he was losing.
"Then you get that vampire dick?"
"That's - oh fuck, that's literally what I'm getting married for." Bella groaned, arms going over her face. "I get that he doesn't want to have sex until after marriage, and that's admirable. Not a lot of guys nowadays do that unless they're absolute psychopaths."
Madej raised an eyebrow at her. "And you're sure Edward isn't a psychopath?" he asked, a smile on his face as she made a noise in her throat, then whacked at his arm gently. "I mean, do what you want. If you two made an arrangement and you're both happy with it, then I don't get why you shouldn't go through with it. You've been talking more, right?"
Bella nodded. "It took a few ... sleepless nights, but we're getting better at talking. Now we just have to make sure Alice doesn't go overboard with the wedding plans; she saw me agree to get married, and now she's had this whole extravagant thing put into place."
"It's your wedding, not hers, tell her to fuck off and marry someone if she's that desperate for an extravagant wedding."
"I don't think she'd take it well coming from me," Bella said, looking at Madej with a sort of plea in her eyes.
"What, you think that because I'm the one that's dying, she'll take it better from me?"
Bella shrugged. "It's worth a shot? It's either that or call off the wedding and we get married instead."
"Oh yeah. Paul said he'd officiate it and everything," he told her, and Bella laughed.
"Ah, yes, Paul Lahote as the one who weds us. Who'd be our witness?"
"Embry, Quil and Jacob - Embry and Quil could get married with us, a double marriage. It'd be one for the fucking books."
Bella hummed her agreement, laughing a little as she no doubt imagined what it'd be like. "Then Jess and Angela could join - a triple marriage. That would be great. At least then it's not like I'd be the centre of attention."
"Is that what's bothering you? The attention?"
"Yeah," Bella admitted, looking over at him sheepishly. "I'm ... I'm not one to enjoy having people stare at me. I told Eric I didn't want to have a feature in the high school newspaper when I first came here, and I don't want strangers coming to my wedding that I'm not that fussed about."
"OK, here," Madej reached over for a notebook, wincing a little in pain. He handed it over to Bella. "Write down the names of the people you'd actually want at the wedding, and your ideas. Then we can tell Alice that's how you want it, and if she disagrees, then you can call it off if you want."
"Hm, yeah, OK." Bella opened the notebook and pulled out the pen it came with and started to write down the guests. "You're obviously my ... well, Alice is maid of honour. What can you be?"
"Best man to you. Emmett's gotta be Eddie's, right?"
"Or Carlisle. He doesn't have that many friends." Bella said bluntly, and Madej couldn't wipe the amused smile off his face.
"Make Mike - uh, make Mike your maid of honour. He'd be down for it."
Bella snorted. "He has to come in a dress,"
Madej pulled out his phone and sent a message to Mike:
hey if i asked u to be the
maid of honour to a
wedding, would u be down?
