Chapter 14: Wedding Plans.

Two weeks had passed since the conversation with my mom and me finding out that she was pregnant. So I finally decided as me and Edward were going through some of our options for the wedding that today was the day I'd ask him about adopting my sister if anything happened to my mother.

"So, my mother is pregnant." I blurted out to Edward.

"Oh really?" He asked mockingly.

"Okay, so you already knew since Alice already knew. But hey, I still have a question that you may not know about." I said.

"You're wondering if I'll be okay with adopting the child if anything happens to your mom." He asked and started laughing.

I made a face that I imagined would be a lot like a 3 year olds face saying "hey that's not fair!" So that's exactly what I said.

"Hey! That's not fair! Stop reading people's mind and be patient to hear it from me!"

"Are you calling me impatient? Hello! I've known for 2 weeks now Bella. I would say that's being patient." He said in the same childish tone.

"Oh. I guess you have a good point." I replied and smiled shyly. You know the kind of smile that you get when you're talking to a crush and you're flirting, so you do that shy smile as he grabs you and pulls you into a hug? Yeah, that's the sort of smile that Edward still gave me every now and then. Today was one of those times.

"Yes, of course I have a good point. I am Edward Cullen."

I scrunched up my face in a confused manor.

"Where did this cockiness come from Mr. Edward Cullen?" I asked with my hands on my hips.

Edward laughed his glorious laugh that sent shivers down my spine.

"Me? Cocky? Never." He replied and pulled me into his lap. "Bella, if you would like to set it up so that we adopt, I am more than willing to. It is up to you entirely. Either way though, if we adopt, Rose is God-Mother. She sort of has her hopes up." He told me as he played with a strand of my hair.

"Okay. So I'll tell my mother yes then? Is that our decision?" I asked.

"Yes Bella. If that's what you would like." He said as he leaned in for a kiss.

"You know what else I would like?" I asked jumping up out of his lap.

"What's that?" He asked smiling.

"I want our wedding to be a mixture of all of these." I replied.

Edward looked confused, so I explained myself.

"Well, you see, I want the flowers we talked about; Along with a mixture from the dress from page 35 from the bridal magazine and my mothers, and then-" Edward cut me off.

"Actually Bella..."He sputtered out. I sat down next to him as he leaned back on one arm and put another hand on my thigh. "I was thinking, we could do a mixture of two other dresses..."

"What?! I have to wear my mother's dress. I promised her. Plus, I love that dress. It's nice and simple, and plain, and-"

"Bella, what I'm saying is, I was thinking we could make a mixture between your mother's dress, and my mother's wedding dress." He said smiling. "It's one of the only things I kept of hers; that and a ring. Which I will place upon your hand on the day we get married."

I started to tear up, water overwhelming my eyes. Why was I so incredibly emotional? I couldn't put my finger on it. But it seemed as though I had changed a lot since the first time I met Edward Cullen. I was more girly like almost. I think being in love does that sort of thing to you. It changes you, in my case, it made me more girly, more in love, more of a typical girl while in love I should say.

"Edward, I would love to. It would be perfect." I replied wiping tears away.

"Really? You don't have to. It's entirely up to you, you know?" He asked.

"I know, and I would love to. I would be honoured. It would be like your mother accepting me as her daughter-in-law. And that means a lot to me."

"Okay. So we have the flowers picked out, your dress picked out. Now, where is our wedding going to be?" Edward asked.

"Oh, that's easy. Sun down, under a pop-up tent, in the meadow. We'll make it so that Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, Rose, Alice and Esme are all under the tent too, so that the sun doesn't make you sparkle, and we can get Emmett to create a path up to the meadow so that people don't get lost, and they can even drive up there." I replied with a huge smile on my face. I had been thinking a lot about where our wedding would be, and when it would be.

"Okay, one problem though, how will my family walk down the aisle before you?" Edward asked.

"Oh, that's easy. We'll make it so that the dresses are wedding appropriate, but yet summer-ee too, and we'll have cute little old fashioned umbrellas that the boys can carry above themselves and the girls." I said again, proud that I had already thought of all this.

"Have you been thinking of this lots? Or are you just extremely smart?" Edward asked slyly.

"Both!" I replied laughing.

A few hours later....

It took us 3 and a half hours total figuring out dresses, tuxedos, flowers, the invites, placing everyone, etc. That was thanks to Alice of course. We basically let her organize most of it, just not the where, when, and how. Oh and the dresses to. Those I chose out.

The date seemed so close, yet so far. I knew we still had a lot to do. Or rather, Alice still had a lot to do. But knowing Alice she would be able to do it all within the next 3 days, making the wedding go a lot more smoothly.

After we were done with the wedding arrangements, we went down to go talk to Renee.

"Hey mom? Can we talk to you?" I asked as we got close to the rope swing tied to the huge tree to the front of the house where Renee was sitting.

"Of course sweetie." She replied.

"Well, Edward and I talked about the baby you have in there," I said and stepped forward to rub her tummy, "And we decided that we would like to, but, we think it would be better for Rose and Emmett. They can't have kids, and either way, I'll still be in the child's life, no matter what. I'm its big sister, I have to be. I'm more than willing to take care of it after you have it and you're all okay. But if anything were to happen, I think it would be better for Rose and Emmett." I said.

Edward looked at me funny. I didn't really let him know exactly what I wanted. And really, I didn't even know what I wanted until we got to this moment. The only reason I chose to let Rose was because really, she deserved it.

Rosalie Hale was really an incredible woman, and she deserved to be happy. She didn't want me to be a vampire only because she didn't have a choice. She would've loved to be able to have children, be a mother, and be able to die even. Plus, how would I be able to control myself around the child after I was turned? Would I be able to control myself? It only made sense to allow Rosalie to be the mother should anything happen to Renee.

"Are you sure hunny? You don't feel awkward do you?" Renee asked me.

"No, no, no, not at all. That's not it. It's just, I'm not sure I even want to be considered a motherly figure. I don't think that we're ready for it. Edward is completely okay with it, it isn't him either mom, it's just the realisation I came to earlier." I replied. "Besides, everything will be fine. You won't even need Rosalie to take the child." I smiles.

"Oh Bella, I love you. Edward, you too. You make my Bella happy, and that's all I could ever ask from you. You two are true soul mates. I am incredibly happy that you found each other, and stuck with each other throughout everything you have faced together." Renee started crying. She was just as bad as me these days! However, for completely different reasons, she was pregnant, I wasn't. Her emotions are heightened because of the pregnancy, mine was just because I was getting married.

After talked with Renee, we headed off with our books of wedding plans to Alice's room.

"Come on in Edward and Bella!" Alice cried out before we even reached the top of the stairs.

We walked in to find Alice already working on the bridesmaid dresses. "I'm assuming I'm making 4 of these?" Alice asked. "Myself, Rosalie, Renee and Esme?"

"Of course!" I said smiling.

"And Edward, your 4 are going to be Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, and Charlie?" Alice asked Edward.

"Yeah. I was thinking that Charlie might be an issue since he'll be walking Bella down the aisle, but then I realised, it'll be okay, and he can just walk up from there." Edward said.

"Okay, well, I have lots of work, I'm making Bella's dress after I make the bridesmaid dresses. Actually, Edward, leave. I need to plan out Bella's."

Edward kissed me one last time, and left without a word.

"Okay, so, first things first, the bridesmaid dresses. I chose out yellow for them all, with pink ribbon around the waist to show off our curves." Alice said smiling while running her hands down her hips and wiggling. "And the dresses will all be a little different in shape for them all. Since your mother is pregnant, hers will be a little loose fitting, but only from the ribbon down, so her ribbon will be placed just under her breasts. Rose wants a tight fitting one to show off her curves, but still wants the ribbon under her chest to show them off of course." Alice quietly added, "Of course, that's only to tease Emmett so he has to wait until after the wedding to go running back to the bedroom." I giggled a little at that. Rose was so promiscuous with Emmett. "Then Esme's will be sort of like a pen skirt, but a dress. So it'll be very motherly looking, which is what Esme wants too. Then mine, will be shorter than the mothers dresses, but not as short as Rosalie's. Oh, and don't worry, Rose won't be looking skanky at all. We'll make sure of that. It'll be like a bubble dress. And everyone will have the pink ribbon under the chest."

"Alice! They sound so cute! I love it! How are the sleeves going to be?" I asked, wanting to know all about them.

"Well, Rosalie will have thin straps, your mother will be off the shoulder, Esme will have a half of a half sleeve sort of thing, and then mine will be strapless." Alice replied.

The dresses seemed like the perfect thing for them all. Alice did know her fashion. I couldn't have asked for a better sister-in-law.

"They sound amazing Alice. I really can't wait!" I said excitedly.

"Okay, so enough for the bridesmaid dresses, let's talk the biggest one of them all, what about yours?" Alice asked serious.

"Well, I'm imagining this: white, obviously, since both dresses are shades of white. I want the fluffiness of Edward's mom's, but the silkiness of my mom's. I want the designs on Edward's mom's, and sleeves on my mom's; I want a mixture of the wedding veils-"I paused. "Actually, Alice, I changed my mind, I want you to mix the two of them together. You've done an amazing job so far, you can do it." I said happily.

"Bella! Are you sure? I mean, oh my goodness! You're not kidding right?! Oh my! I have sooo much to do now! Ahhh! Okay, it'll be a surprise for both you and Edward now, I promise you, I won't go overboard, but now, you have to go. I need to finish these dresses, and start yours. Ohhhhh!!!! I can't wait!" Alice said while pushing me out the door.

I found Edward waiting for me at the first step of the stairs.

"That was very nice of you Bella, but you didn't have to." He said.

"I know, I wanted to though." I replied while leaning in to kiss him. "I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too Mrs. Soon-to-be-Cullen." Edward said smiling and then leaning in for another gentle kiss.

"I can't wait! Our wedding day will be the best day of our life." I pulled away at the thought of that. "Well, one of them. The next best thing would be the day you change me." I said seriously.

Edward and I hadn't talked much about me becoming a vampire in a while. I didn't even know if he was willing to really.

"Bella, you know I will, just, after everything. We can't on the honeymoon, and we can't after it for a while. We just need to let everyone settle down."

"Edward! Let's just go on an extra long honeymoon. No one will expect anything. We can go for as long as we have planned, come back, but not let anyone but your family know, you can change me when we get back, then wait a month or so until I talk to people again. We can make up excuses along the way on why we can't step in to see everyone." I said pleadingly.

"I'll think about it, then perhaps talk to Carlisle about it." He said.

"I love you Edward Cullen."

"I love you too Bella."

With that he picked me up and headed off down the stairs and off to talk to Emmett next about the meadow idea.
