Bella's Wedding Day-part 5

     Emmett and Jasper were at Edward's side in a flash. At first, Edward thought that they were going to try to stop him, but when they flashed their teeth and growled, a smirk appeared on his face.
     All three of the vampire boys took long strides towards Jacob. Jacob got into his fighting stance, ready for an attack. Carlisle then stood between the boys and Jacob.
     "Edward, back down," Carlisle said calmly. Edward kept his fist clenched but brushed past Carlisle to go search for Bella. The tension in the room seemed to disappear once Edward left. Jacob relaxed from his attack stance and straighted out his black shirt. He wore all black. Guess he wasn't so happy about the wedding.
     "Jacob, go back to La Push. You belong there, not here. Don't ever interfer with Bella and my son again, or I will not stop him next time." Carlisle commanded with a soft voice. Jacob looked around and everyone was giving him disapproving looks. Even Charlie, who onced wished Jacob as his son-in-law rather than Edward, adverted his eyes.
     Jacob let out a little growl then dashed out of the exit door. For a few minutes everyone sat still taking everything in. Was the wedding still going to go on? Did Bella already leave? Should everyone leave now?
     "I'm going to find Bella," Renee stood up breaking the silence. "My baby needs me! Ah, I knew she should've waited to get married. She's not old enough to handle this yet!"
     Carlisle place a hand on Renee's shoulder. "Renee, Bella isn't a kid anymore. She can handle herself. I've seen her mature these past years that she's been in Forks and she's a tough girl. She'll be fine." He managed to calm her down and everyone just waited until Edward or, hopefully Bella, came through those doors.

     Edward knocked at Bella's dressing room door. He could hear her sobbing.
     "Bella, love? Will you please answer the door?" Edward pleaded with her in his sweet voice. Bella could never resist that voice. She stood up and walked to the door then took a deep breath. She cracked the door open a bit and sat back down on the couch she was crying on.
     Edward walked in and saw her looking out the window. He sat down next to her silently. He just watched her as she started to tear up; trying to resist the urge to gather her in his arms and soothe her.
     But she came to him instead. Bella turned around, hugged Edward, and cried into his chest. He didn't speak one word. All he did was rub her back and rocked her back and forth.
     After she stopped crying and got over her sobs, he looked into her eyes. She could see the hurt that she's caused him. All she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with Edward and have him happy.
     "I'm so sorry...," Bella said barely audible but she knew that he would be able to hear. He smiled softly at her and brushed a strand of hair away from her face.
     "You know, it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding," Edward said with a little grin. Bella giggled and wiped a tear away.
     "So are you ready to get married to me, love?"
     Bella looked up at Edward. Somehow in the minutes that he's been in that room, all her doubt went away. He somehow knew that she was just nervous and when Jacob spoke up, his words just spilt over all her nerves. She loved him. She wanted to be with him. Forever.
     "Yes, I'm ready now, more than ever," Bella said weakly then hugged him.
     Edward took Bella's hand into his hard cold one and stood up. He picked her up bridal style and walked back towards everyone else quickly. Everyone turned at the doors opening. Charlie, who was in a conversation Carlisle, turned to them and smiled.
     "Hm. Aren't you suppose to do that after the wedding? Haha," Charlie said as a reaction to the Edward holding Bella bridal style
      "Well, we aren't quite normal now are we?" Edward said with a smile. Charlie nodded then took his seat. Edward walked Bella down the aisle and set her down on her feat then stood infront of her.
     "Are we all ready now," the pastor spoke. Bella smile and nodded. "Ok then, let's continue. Edward do you, take Isabella Swan as your lawful wedded wife?"
     "I do," he said not leaving Bella's intense gaze and places the golden band on her left ring finger smoothly.
     "And do you Bella, take Edward Cullen as your lawful wedded husband?"
     "...I do," Bella said receiving a sigh of relief from Edward as she placed her own ring onto his ring finger.
     "Then I know pronounce you husband and wife," the pastor then looked at Edward and smiled, "You may now kiss the bride."
     Edward brought Bella close to him and smiled down at her. "Man, I've been waiting for this all day." He placed a soft, loving kiss her lips and she kissed him back.
     "This is the beginning of the rest of our lives," Bella whispered. And yes, she did mean to say lives, because being with Edward means that she's living.
